2018 according to ANN. I remember seeing some pictures of the puppets they're going to use and I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited for it.

There has literally never been a good sword fight in television or film that is both accurate and enjoyable to watch. The closest is probably the ending fight from Rob Roy.

Pic related is the best depiction of a sword fight I've seen in media and it's from a short film on Youtube.

>>83874535

No, they're puppets on strings/handles, not stopmotion.

This is one of them, imo. I love the use of atmosphere and the way the environment actually influences the duel. Also, it just feels so much more realistic the way they're not going at it 100% the entire time. They hesitate, test each other, and make a few guarded attempts, before retreating to prepare for the next round. It refreshing to see the characters actually behaving like the stakes are life and death. And at the same time, they look like professionals doing what they've been trained to do.

Good fight. But not even Rathbone's best. Robin Hood fight was better.

It's 80 years old, and holds up really well. For the time it was amazing.

The sword fight in Brannaugh's Hamlet was pretty good.

Nobody denied that, you literally said there was no good sword fight in television or film that is both accurate and enjoyable to watch. Well that fight WAS one, you fucking cunt.

If you want to go for this kind of shit even SW prequels did better job.

When I think of a bad ass sword fight I always think of this one. The movie was meh but this fight alone makes it worth the watch.

>>83874580
This. Accurate sword fights are simple and over in seconds unless they're clad in armor, then they're really slow and grueling, but still simple.

>>83874644
That sword fight isn't very accurate. Real sword fights don't go on for 2 minutes and aren't that theatrical.

>>83873816
All great scenes.

>>83873373
Into The Badlands is also pretty fun. Will season 3 have Sunny go full Lone Wolf and Cub?

I hope so. He was by far the most talented actor and the best part of the show. I felt like every scene without him was filler until he came back.

I hate the GoT show and most of the changes from the book, but this was pretty awesome. More of a good brawl than a good sword fight, though.

honestly it's so over the top and absurd I can't help but enjoy it. It might be my single favorite action set piece since Jabba's Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi.

I wish action scenes were fun like this again. Gore Verbinski is such an underrated director. I honestly don't understand why Hollywood never gave him carte blanche after the Pirates movies. He managed to make a movie based off a fucking amusement park ride kino to the degree that Depp was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars, and then he filmed 2 sequels back to back with CGI that still looks incredible 11 years later. DMC and AWE are over 5 hours long and filled with countless fully CGI characters, real locations, a shit ton of practical effects, and action sequences that would normally serve as a climax to an ordinary film as something that happens in the first act. They cost a lot to make (I think $225 and $300 million each) but they look fucking amazing, made like a billion dollars each, and those budgets are normal for movies now. Fucking Age of Ultron cost $280 million and has aged like warm milk. The only other movie on this list that used its budget well (as in it makes sense why it cost that much and it shows in the film) is The Force Awakens. Snoke looked kinda shit but his design wasn't finalized till the last minute so it makes sense why it'd look rushed.

Rango was great and I don't think Verbinski could be blamed for The Lone Ranger being a flop (John Carter lost $125 million for Disney the year before but that's not Andrew Stanton's fault). I haven't seen A Cure For Wellness but regardless it makes no sense that Verbinski isn't being courted by every single studio to direct a tentpole for them.

>Who should we get to direct the new MCU film?
idk some television director
>Okay, what about Infinity War, which is being filmed back to back and has a huge budget?
same guys lel did you see their episode of Arrested Development

>>83877961
>Who should we have direct Jurassic Park 4?
you know that indie movie about a road trip and a guy who says he can time travel? had like a budget of $750k and made 4 million?
>Perfect. Who should direct Star Wars: Episode IX? It might be the last Star Wars film in the main series, at least for a while, we need someone who can handle that. Gore Verbinski? Brad Bird would've done The Force Awakens if he wasn't busy with Tomorrowland lmao remember that shit? Anyway, what about him? Or what about Joe Johnston? He got his start on Star Wars and even designed Boba Fett himself. It'd be like poetry, it could rhyme!
>What about the Jurassic World guy?
>Did people like him?
>nope
>perfect

>>83878181
>tfw we will never get Joe Johnston's Star Wars Episode IX
>or Brad Bird
>or Verbinski
>instead we're stuck with Trevorrow

I don't understand how they picked Rian Johnson of all people for Episode 8, which was obviously a choice based on his talents rather than his box office performances, but then they went with Trevorrow for 9?

Is this like a Return of the Jedi thing where it's the worst in the trilogy and has incredibly bland directing?

The old celluloid fights used to tell stories with the actual fights that had meaning for the story instead of being climatic battles.

Rob roy(Liam neelson/Christopher lee, pirates of panzan, type of thing or many other movies

Fuck I meant Die another day and not the world is not enough

>>83878268
It's because 8 is the one they absolutely have to nail.

7 was a guaranteed hit by virtue of not being the prequels, and 9 will be watched by everyone who watched 8 just to see it to the end.
8 is the one which has to hook the viewers in and make the sequels seem their own thing.
They want 8 to be good, and 9 to be market bait.

>>83878398

70 percent of repeat viewers for TFA were white males. It doesn't matter. Rian could take a shit on screen and it will sell.

The last fight in Sword of the Stranger is pretty fantastic.

I can confirm I would pay for that.

>>83878445
You have to think of it from The Mouse's view.
A shit film will still sell, but it won't market as well later down the line.
The Mouse wants it to be at least mediocre so they can milk it a bit more, because unlike Lucas, they can't rely on fanboys turning to the EU, to delude themselves into thinking it will patch things up.
