JC and Valerian are the exact same scenario. Who keeps funding these?

>>85411667
I had no idea that existed and I've seen the first one in cinema

>>85411050
Thats Valerian.

>>85411748

In Valerian's case, Besson seemed to have raised the money himself somehow. Why, to just make that film?

With 200m of my own cash I'd rather be a bit more unrestrained.

Nobody gave a shit. I saw the first one in theaters and hated it. I remember seeing a trailer for the second.

Bro he asked John Carter was the biggest flop this decade not to list a bunch of them

>>85411847
Most of the money is going to come from Europe since it's the only place where the property is actually known by the audiences

>>85411667
>First one made over a billion
What the fuck?

>>85411568
It has the word Mars in it, and Disney thought that was the reason Mars needs Moms was a bomb

John Carter is based on a series of novels by author Edgar Rice Burroughs and tells the tale of John Carter from Jasoom who travels to Barsoom, meets Tharks, and is entangled in a war to stop Sab Than the Jeddak of Zodanga, but Matai Shang, a Hekkador and leader of the Therns, is manipulating Sab Than into conquering the Heliums and into marrying Deja Thoris, a Jeddak Preddak plag. But Tars Tarkas, Sarkoja, Sola, and Woola the Calot are out to stop Sab Than and Matai Shang from crabdangoing the frangochangs.

>raise $200mil for decades-old pipe dream of a passion project
>shit out generic ebin save-the-world fantasy movie full of bad costumes, generic designs and shitty CGI
why bother?

>>85411134
>King Kong?

More than a decade ago now, and it performed respectably if not brilliantly at the box office. It just wasn't well received. Compared to John Carter it was a smash hit.

>Mad Maxi Pad?

Did respectably and was very well received, including numerous Oscar nods & several wins. No one considers it a flop.

If you want to see "flop", look at movies like R.I.P.D. and Seventh Son.

>>85412004

The problem with JCofM is that Deja Thoris is supposed to basically be a brown naked exotic queen. This was Burrough's beat off material, and probably pretty hot stuff for pulp magazine-reading nerds of the 10s.

That's why most art depicting has her wearing pasties, because they have to at least cover her up a little bit.

The first movie was one of the first 3D movies to come out of Avatar, so that alone gave it a lot of hype.
Disney thought it was succesful for other reasons, and of course, it flopped.

John Carter
John Carter of Mars

>>85411050
they dropped the ball by not starting early (like a year) of promo telling the public about john carter.
disney thought the general pop knew about e.r.b story and how it influenced a generation of movies/scifi/comics/heroes.
but no.
also putting just 'john carter'. how the fuck was i suppose to know who that was.

and when i finally looked it up (the new comics that were put out), deja was suppose to b.e a skin goddess. not covered up like in the movie.

The main star was already too old to play Alice. They ended the first one in a way she became an adult. The first one had Futterwacken...I'm not sure whats in the second. I haven't seen it yet. This alice movie might have been one of the first kid friendly movies since Charlie. I can't remember if Johnny started getting a bad reputation when this second one came out.
