Emoji Movie

This is going to make two trillion dollars and get like 95% on RT and completely torch my Blockbuster ballot and it will no longer be a world that I want to live in

The most patently offensive thing about this is the eggplant emoji being in the Rarely Used category.

A hacker group has got a digital copy of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. They are threatening to release it incrementally if they aren't paid enormous amounts of money in BitCoin.

Disney has told them to kiss the darkest part of the mouse's ass.

Battle of the Sexes

Emma Stone as Billie Jean King

Steve Carrell as Bobby Riggs

No one tell Meltzer

Could be interesting.

Okay - I realized no one might get that joke but Meltzer is firmly in the camp that Riggs threw the match and that there was no way BJK could have won.

I can see all your shocked faces

Bobby wiped the floor with Margaret Court, who was much better than King. I have no doubt he threw the match.

Transformers: The Last Knight

Which they probably could have just called Transformers: King Arthur and it would have done just as well

Another Mummy Trailer

Interesting that this is really pushing the START OF A NEW UNIVERSE~!

Figured they would have included shot of Mr. Hyde that came out earlier in the week but whatevs.

I do like that Dracula bombed so hard they are pretending it didn't happen

I see Legendary took their name off the Monsters universe.

Legendary really hasn't made a dent with Universal like they originally thought. Other than Jurassic World and SoC, I haven't really felt like they put out projects that made the switch from WB to Universal worthwhile. Their one successful film this year was with Warner Bros.

Or, maybe not... never underestimate bad taste. 

Or it could be a good film and possibly better than the flawed film that came out in 83. I mean that didn't become popular until it hit VHS IIRC. Maybe the older people on here could speak on that.

Also, I don't know if it's remake. All three films would just share the same name.

I will forever love the mess that is De Palma's SCARFACE.  In fact we just watched it like three days ago. It was my wife's first time seeing it and she was completely captivated by the gothic excess of it.

 

But since the '83 SCARFACE is basically the perfect time capsule for everything that was both great and terrible about movies in the 80s, it kind of makes sense that Ayer would be the one. Whatever he produces it will be a bloated mess that anyone 20 years from now will be able to look back on and say either "What an amazing time that was in movies, though" or "What a horrible time that was in movies, though."

Basically, if you hate the 80s you probably hate De Palma. And if you hate the 2000s you probably hate Ayer.

I am just seeing in talks. 

Yeah - the story I read said he was in and referenced a Variety article

But when you go to the Variety article it only says "in talks" though it claims that it is "very close"

Previously, it was rumored that they (Universal) wanted either Peter Berg or David Mackenzie. I wouldn't let Berg get close to it. He should just stick to modern day tragedy porn that tanks at the BO. Mackenzie would be a good choice, but he is working on a Scottish period piece project with Chris Pine and Ben Foster so he is out of the running it looks like.

It's my third favorite movie so I'd beg to differ but that won't change your mind or anyone else's. 

Out of those three possible directors, I only know Peter Berg from Cop Land (which rules) and Ayer from writing Training Day, and I didn't know either guy was who they were until having to look them up.

Oh I love Scarface too. I know the film from front to back. However, you can make a great film with the name especially if it has nothing to do with Tony Montana and 80s excess. Will it be as iconic? Probably not because very few films nowadays are really that iconic. However, that doesn't mean that someone else can't put their spin on the basic structure of that film.

The only problem is that people are gonna go to Scarface and expect to see Scarface. If they imitate it they tarnish the legacy, if they do something new and cool it better be pretty fucking good to find an audience. 

That's the thing. The latter removes the burden of the former. Plus, I doubt it's going to be a movie that costs $100 million. You can do this for a max of 40 million or 50 million and have a late summer hit that didn't cost out the wazoo like everything else. Plus, Universal isn't going to take much of a hit if it doesn't do gangbusters.

The Resident Evil franchise has gone the way of the Friday the 13th franchise.

Thanks to the international box office numbers for RE: The Final Chapter, the German film company that owns the rights to RE has decided that a reboot is in order, so The Final Chapter will not be end of the film series.

No word on title, release date, director, or cast.

The key fact that JT left out

It will be a SIX MOVIE reboot - to match the same number of movies the originals did

I didn't leave anything out.  I am trying to ignore the fact that it is almost guaranteed to be a real thing.
