Not particularly, lots of set up for another season in the finale, not much pay off. WarGalley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he meant to be busy re-releasing 'Australia' as a mini-series retitled 'Faraway Downs', which was the original intended title of 'Australia'?

Calibandar Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 On 8/18/2023 at 8:32 AM, AncalagonTheBlack said: Apple TV+ has set a title for its upcoming series from Legendary’s Monsterverse: “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.” https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/godzilla-series-title-monarch-photos-1235698195/ “Monarch” is set in the same universe as the films “Godzilla” (2014), “Kong: Skull Island” (2017), “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (2019), “Godzilla vs. Kong” (2021) and the upcoming sequel “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” Spanning three generations, the series following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. That sounds interesting , hadnt heard of it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 They Say (Some?) Snyder's planning to do Ayn Rand in the nearish future -- The Fountainhead. If he's the sort of guy, who at his age, still admires Rand, this bodes badly for Rebel Moon. IlyaP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the sort of guy, who at his age, still admires Rand, this bodes badly for Rebel Moon. Old news that has already generated tons of shockingly idiotic commentary. But don’t worry, I’m sure plenty of Comic Book movie idiots and Disney/Star Wars shills* have their “objectivist Star Wars” commentary primed and ready. *No, I don’t think they are shills. I would respect them more if they were. JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused by what the implication is here. Anyway, marketing has started for Fincher's latest. Very interested in this, since the comic could not possibly suit Fincher's themes and tone more. Perfect match-up. AncalagonTheBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Old news, but not fake news -- Snyder is a fan of Rand and has said in the past that he dreamt of adapting The Fountainhead, but I don't think he's seriously going to do it. The last I heard he felt the political climate wasn't right, and then made some sounds about the fact that the story isn't political for him.

Ah-hem -- that is pretty hard to -- um -- to pull-off as making any sense whatsoever, considering the material and the author's own political intentions.

SpaceChampion Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 The Idol Season 2 Cancelled I thought this was listed as a Limited Series for Emmy consideration, so I never thought it was coming back anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Not surprised by it. I think it got a very unfair shake from the early media gossip, and I only today realized -- seeing gleeful reactions on Reddit -- that a lot of the animus seemed deeply driven by fans of Amy Seimitz who came out of the woodwork to bay about it. Regardless, while I think it (and the Weeknd and Sam Levinson) were treated unfairly, it was not really a success at what it strove to do, and while I give kudos to Tesfaye for deliberately playing a pathetic grifter who gets completely destroyed by the end of the project, at the same time he's just not enough of an actor to sell a lot of his role. There were things there where you could see the aim and intention, but it didn't come together in a satisfactory whole for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just giving it away like government cheese, they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Rebel Moon was basically Snyder's failed Lucasfilm pitch to do a remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. But of course, this had already been done in the Star Wars canon -- in an episode of Clone Wars and again more recently in The Mandalorian (by way of The Magnificent Seven) -- so is rather superfluous.

dog-days Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Yep. Much better to do something Rashomon-inspired about the Jedi. (From several certain points of view...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
