The movie idea was probably a given once the games success hit the big time. It’s usually trying to form an idea for the film that took the time.

Microsoft wanted strict control over the Halo film, if I remember correctly, as this is partly why it never happened.

But in fantasy films, are characters ever really dead? 😀

It was a film, then I think he tried pitching it as a mini series. Then the talk resumed again as he was going to employ Shannon Dohertys best friend Sarah Michelle Geller to take over the role as a tribute.

I don’t know where it’s at right now.

I hold out that one day this will get released or rather leaked. I hope it hasn’t been deleted.

The closet we’ll get to seeing at right now is this crew reel showing off the hard work that went into bringing the Looney Tunes world to live action.

I look forward to the first trailer but seeing as the film doesn’t release until October, it’ll be a few months yet.

Probably too simplistic for a modern audience.

I usually work away from home 7 days at a time. Next time that happens, I’ll probably binge the lot. Really enjoyed season 1.

No worries.

That was way better than anyone was expecting I think. That was a great use of a film license.

It feels like marketing departments are treating us like idiots. They show the best bits so we can run along and see how they connect with the rest of the film we haven’t seen, probably the talkie bits as they’ve already shown all the action.

…then I’d turn down the offer to buy one. 😆 Although, I’ve seen one of the real batpods.

Yeah. The opening minute had me hooked. Once they started showing that he was going on a mission, I turned off. Stop giving me an abridged version of the film!

I agree. Back in the day, they made great teasers with footage that was especially shot for that purpose. I wrote a blog post about that kind of thing back in 2015.

These days I find myself turning off any kind of trailer after the first minute as they seem hell bent on laying out the entire film for you.

The Jinx film almost happened. There was a script, a director in Stephen Frears but apparently MGM got cold feet spending $80m on the film.

“It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren’t sure of its value. That’s where we were then.”

It’s when articles say it’s “only” got 77% in reviews and act like that’s a terrible thing. Surely 50% would be a truly average film.

I’m surprised he managed to get hold of so many video game licences. All the films were awful.

I’ve done a quick search and it turns out that was for an entirely different film they announced several years ago. That hasn’t started filming or anything yet.

I bought Brian O’Halloran’s (Dante from Clerks trilogy) film called Vulgar as one of the extras on the DVD is the documentary “Judge Not … In the Defense of Dogma”. That was really interesting and it’s easily found on YouTube.

There’s also this bit of footage about Dogma which I think is quite funny as well! 😁

At last! Decent Star Wars returns!
