NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JURRASIC WORLD WAS FUCKING PERFECT

Who gives a shit, the same mass-audience disney star wars flick would be made with any director

>>87369495
Did RLM genuinely enjoy Rogue One?
It's okay, a 6/10 movie, but it wasn't that good. (It was merely better than The Force Awakens)

Good

>>87369433
Lel. Chris Cuckmann did this

Disney had the idea Star Wars would be making them money forever I say by 2020 no one will care about the last star wars film

>>87369543
No. They shat all over it for the same reasons they praised TFA.

Great news.

>>87369543
>Did RLM genuinely enjoy Rogue One?
What? No, they disliked it quite a bit.

>>87369543
>(It was merely better than The Force Awakens)

They vehemently disagree with that

They likes Force much better

>>87369568
hm, so which one should i like, if i had to pick one?

Why do you hate him

I'm happy, at least the movie now has a chance of being good. Probably not though.

Great. More people need to recognize how awful Jurassic World is

Fucking good. Why did they get this literal nobody to direct a film in one of the biggest hollywood franchises ever? Pretty much anyone would be better.

Fuck Disney, Fuck K.Kennedy and fuck Star Wars.

>>87369618
Jurassic World was Russo Bros level of bland, artless blockbuster-by-numbers.

>>87369670
Fuck me plz

>>87369595
I think they'll change their decision in a few years time then.
It took me like a good six months to realise TFA wasn't that great. I was just hyped Star Wars was back.

What will /tv/ say when Disney inevitably asks George Lucas to return

>>87369670
George, knock it off. Star Wars paid for the iPad your typing from.

>>87369724
heh, toldja kid

>Rumors suggest that Zack Snyder has been approached to direct

>>87369658
Disney doesn't want directors (as in people with vision that want to inject their own style into the films), they just want someone who can make predictable cookie-cutter family-friendly shlock. Even if they get another literal who the second he steps out of line he will be replaced. The end result will be essentially the same anyway.

Good. Jurassic World was total fucking garbage.

>>87369734
TFA was shit.
Episode II was better.

>>87369776
I honestly don't know what I would do if George Lucas directed one of the Star Wars movies.
I actually think it would be great, he isn't good with total control, but when he's surrounded by people that tell him some of his ideas are shit, he's gold.

>>87369691
are u cute?

>>87369433
So that's two directors that have walked from the first 4 Star Wars movies produced under Disney. And people will still pay to see their shit..

You'd have to be mentally retarded to continue to give money to the house of mouse for the same creatively bankrupt lukewarm garbage over and over again.

Man, Star Wars under Kennedy/Disney is really turning into a poison chalice.

>Josh Trank project strangled in the cot, director blacklisted, following F4 fallout
>70% of R1 rewritten and reshot by Christopher McQuarrie, Gareth Edwards' only upcoming for the next two years is credit as a producer on the next Godzilla
>Lord and Miller fired from Han Solo movie, entire thing being reshot and reworked by Ron Howard
>Rumour mill swirls that TLJ wasn't a happy shoot, lots of reshoots, film taken out of Johnson's hands by the execs, also has no future projects listed
>Trevorrow shown the door

Pretty sure if I was a young up-and-coming director and Disney called me in to talk about doing a Star Wars film for them I'd run through the nearest drywall to escape.

(pic related, it's what Edwards has lined up for the future)

JUST

There is literally no downside here. This man is an omni-hack. For him in the ear.

I'd honestly be all for keeping Johnson around if 8 works out well.

So let's recap the turmoil in the new Star Wars franchise

Rogue One underwent heavy last minute reshoots.
Han Solo movie director is fired.
Episode 9 director leaves project.
Rebels TV show so unpopular it's ending a year early.
Toy sales are plummeting,

I'm starting to think Disney needs to fire Kathleen Kennedy.

star wars is dead

start a new hit franchise

and then end it as soon as possible

>>87369997
>Toy sales are plummeting,

But this is made up

>>87369994
8 is literally going to be Empire Strikes Back 2: Electric Boogaloo

Johnson even said he wasn't interested in explaining Snoke's origin. He'd rather write for Kylo Ren because everyone can "relate" to the tantrum throwing emo faggot character that killed his own father.

Kind of like how ESB didn;t explain Sheev's origin and focused on Vader?

>>87369997
She's a woman in an entrenched position at a major Hollywood studio. Literally everyone lower down the food chain will take the hit for her monumental incompetence and demagoguery, just like Amy Pascal at Sony.

i fucking knew this would happen after the han solo directors left

might be good news

>>87369433
Patty Jenkins hired when?

>>87369658
He babysat one movie for the studio that ended making about as much money as every Martin Scorsese film put together.

>>87369803
Nothing could be more promising than if Snyder was announced to direct ep9, 10 and 11 as a new trilogy with 7&8 just awkwardly existing

>>87369994
The downside is that Disney judged that fucking lapdog to be too much of a risk, which says a lot. They want someone they can exert even more control over; someone that will literally do whatever they say. A director that will follow all instructions, put his reputation on the line and agree to a meaningless director's credit for a glorified toy commercial. These movies are the definition of soulless corporate products. Lucas sold out to an extent with his movies, but at least there was a sense of vision, even if he didn't pull it off. Disney will employ company men until the end of time.

It's Josh Trank's time to shine!

>>87369970
Jesus
Imagine growing up watching star wars; the first films that really made you love films due to their limitless imagination and pure sense of adventure. Then lo-and-behold, after some indie success, Disney offers you the chance to direct the next installment in your favourite franchise. And bonus, they'll let you write it with the other people involved
It's a filmmaker's wet-dream

And then.... yeah...

>>87369830
He didn't step out of line though, Book of Henry was easily one of the worst movies of the year and Disney didn't want Star Wars ending up the same way

I wonder what the odds are of Spielberg getting his spot. I hear he's always wanted to direct a SW movie.

Never forget to mention Kathleen Kennedy's name. People like her, Tom Rothman, Amy Pascal and the like cannot be allowed to slip through when they fuck up.

>>87370335
He will never work in Hollywood again. It was too hard for him NOT to do drugs during production AND then badmouth the studio just before release. Just take the damn paycheck so you can do your passion projects.

Give Ep 9 to Rian and allow him the full creative control he deserves, thanks

A corporate rep would have to say that. Being honest and saying "yes, last year was complete shit and almost everything we produced shelfwarmed, but maybe we'll do better by betting the farm on the next Star Wars" would have their shareholders up in arms.

I'm wondering if we're going to see literal mountains of unsold Porg merchandise come January, just like Jar Jar back in 1999/2000.

Bigger Luke

Disney can't keep getting away it, they just can't, I won't believe it.

What will they buy next?
What will they ruin next?
What director will they assimilate next?
What will they blend into a fine white paste, leave to cool in a shaped mould and sell to you as a "faithful" extension of the original next?

What the fuck is going on at Lucasfilm?

Phew!

>>87369925
Fucking this nigger right here. George needs opposition; that's when he shines the brightest.

The reason the prequels were mostly bad, was because of that slimy, yes-man cocksucker, Rick McCallum, wyrmtounging his lips around George's cock every 3 seconds and never providing any real input about how terrible some of his ideas were. Like, even at the casting level. The other front runner for Anakin was leaps and bounds better that Joke Lloyd. watch Rick in the behind the scenes stuff for some serious hindsight cringe kino.

They should hire Sneed.

I'd rather see Kennedy fired and someone competent put in her position, but I know that's never going to happen short of her position becoming completely untenable due to a serious public embarrassment.

It'd take North Korea hacking Disney/Lucasfilm and releasing all of her private correspondence, and even then they'd still keep her around in some capacity just like Pascal.

>LEL I WANNA KNOW HOW THE REBELS GOT THE DEATH STAR PLANS GUISE XDD
No. Dumb. Limited plot capability. Only served as an excuse to have cameos from CGI Tarkin/Leia and Darth Vader swinging his lightsaber around like a floppy dick in the breeze to make all the fanboys jizz.

TFA was better, but only by virtue of being a passable popcorn flick in the vein of Fast n' Furious. Rogue One was so frustrating to watch I couldn't enjoy it no matter how hard I tried (or didn't try).

>>87371194
Not just any exec. Spielberg himself found the kid in said Bar Mitsvah videos. He's King Jew and everybody just took his word.

>>87371090
Yeah, sucks though she's a great editor. Who knows what could have been.

Why are good, prolific editors so often women, in comparison to other important roles in the creative process of making a movie? Is it because they tend to have personalities better suited to that (highly agreeable and conscientious) than to exerting the authority and uncompromising vision of a director or non-hack writer?

I think men are often better at assembling something from scratch, women are often better at taking existing parts and putting them together in the most elegant configuration.

Compare Great Expectations to Wuthering Heights, for example. Great Expectations has a vast web of brilliantly-conceived characters, locations, etc but presented in an incredibly convoluted manner. Wuthering Heights has a handful of characters and only two or three real locations - mostly based on Bronte's own experiences and surroundings - but fits together perfectly.

Well for most directors, they're the ones with the vision and final say on the movie. Some (Kubrick for instance) are so particular they just edit their own shit. So the editor couldn't bring too much of their own stuff into it, they'd have to carry out the director's ideas. Lucas is maybe a special case but I can't imagine she was totally redoing Scorcese's movies in the early 70s for instance

ROTS is the 2nd best in the series

>>87372352
The OT takes itself seriously, that's a big part of why it's good. R1 tried to do that but was trash. That's miles better than the cinematic equivalent of plain oatmeal, a soulless, artistically bankrupt retread of ANH that failed to duplicate the basic things that made ANH good (emotional stakes, psychologically realistic characters, imagination.)

>>87372424
Watching the prequels is watching something unique and kinda interesting, but directed by an incredibly lazy person who doesn't want to work hard ever again. Rogue One is just studio trash.

I still don't know why memers hate Rogue One so much. The cast dying at the end felt underwhelming and perfunctory, but other than that it was a solid film.

>>87371503
It could be as simple as studios wanted someone who could deal with cutting and taping/gluing film reels all day. There's probably film history books on the matter.

>>87372427
Spielberg's lost his touch over the years if you ask me. They should keep Rian on board, given how smoothly things have gone with Ep, 8's production.

>>87372567

The prequels are some of the most frustrating things I've ever seen. They're so close to being good. The basic structure is there. A lot of the talent is there. But nothing has enough effort put into it. It just falls apart.

It's like the experiments to create new atoms. It might form for a second, but they blow apart before anything tangible can be shown to exist.

>>87372374
Brainlets, when will they learn

>>87372424
Rogue One is a better film but Revenge of the Sith is far more entertaining. RO is a competent but bland film that barely left an impression, Revenge of the Sith is a hilariously awful mess that's full of memorable moments.

>>87369879
I think she might be part of the clan.

>>87372558
R1 is just as soulless and rehashed. It's just not rehashing previous Star Wars movies, but generic action movies. R1 has nothing of value, while there's at least some charisma in TFA.

>>87372657
Yeah yeah. Working on it. Film is my primary interest so that's what I focus on

Ok anons. Let's say the worst has happened, and Disney damages Star Wars irreparably. The world needs a new science fantasy space opera franchise, and they're looking to you for inspiration. What elements do you put in to make it Kino?

>>87372852

Probably to work on Star Wars.

Could someone please explain the appeal of Star Wars. All of the characters seem bland and uninteresting to me.

>>87372874

The mood I've been in, I'd want something that starts off grittier than the expanse but organically grows into something as bold and hopeful as Star Trek.

Fuck you if I have a clue how to do that, but multi generational tales of humanity growing are the shit to me.

>>87372852
The money is insane, man. You get millions of dollars for doing one film AND you get fat royalty checks for the rest of your life. You never have to work again.

>>87372912

Well the first trick is to have had a childhood.

pre 2000:
>I have an idea for a movie i've always wanted to produce. I'm going to ask a studio for money to fund me so i can direct it.
now:
>ok fellow boardmembers, we have a shitload of money and we want to make more. what movie do you think will make the most money in 2 weeks before it goes out of theaters? what director do you think would be the safest bet on not doing anything outside of the box?

>>87372697
>charisma
Where? Harrison Ford has some I guess despite the retarded shit they had him do. Oscar Isaac is a cool guy but he was playing a video game character. Rey's a weird asexual androgyne who is instantly great at everything. Finn starts out potentially interesting then becomes cringeworthy comic relief, he's also pretty much asexual. Carrie Fisher's always been overrated. What does that leave, Chewie and the R2 knockoff? Pathetic emo bitch Kylo?

Not arguing R1 isn't a shit movie, I'd sooner watch any of the Lucas ones, just found it less offensive (being a big admirer of the OT) than TFA

Dark Horse Star Wars was an elegant comic, for a more civilised age.

>>87369596
Neither. Anyone who picks one is full of shit. Theyre both godawful scifi films who waste their budget with terrible acting and terrible rehashed world building.
I wouldve rather had George Lucas doing the sequel trilogy then the hacks at nu-Disney who have shown they wish to make every sci fi or fantasy property on the same mental and physical tier as The Avengers.

>>87370062

Amy Pascal was eventually shown the door. So will Kennedy. The only surprising thing is Sony is still trusting Pascal with projects, but that may have been in the terms to get her to leave, they'd produce a couple movies for her. One of which is the Barbi movie, and I HIGHLY suspect Sony told Pascal to dump Schumer, or they would pull the plug.

Kennedy will only fuck up for as long as The Mouse permits. She needs a hit, and fast. Cue the Ewocks!

>>87373121
They talk the studio into putting it in their contract. Although Disney is a massive corporation that doesn't take shit so their directors probably don't get royalty checks. Anyway, my point is you get an insane amount of money to do a Star Wars film.

>>87371099
If you didn't know it was going to be terrible as soon as it was announced you're a fucking retard.

>>87373263
No, that's not what we're saying at all moron.

>>87373327
But Kennedy can do whatever the fuck she wants as long she keeps making money, which is something Pascal wasn't doing

>>87373209
It's funny because the original plans for the sequel trilogy which were made by Lucas were far better than the garbage that we got.

>>87373327
>Amy Pascal was eventually shown the door
And yet she co-produced Spider Man Homecoming, Sony's biggest film this year.
Get fucking real, these people dont go away unless they make room for another or they end up being republican voters

>>87373327
Pascal got very favourable terms at Pascal Pictures, it was more of a golden parachute than a sacking. She's STILL in charge of Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, Men In Black, others besides and is allowed to spend ungodly amounts of money optioning the likes of Zoe Quinn's autobiography.

Even if Kennedy fucks up to the point where the new Star Wars films start severely underperforming she'll just be shuffled into some sub-studio or creative office where she can pull the strings.

>>87373466

They keep saying the force is female but they can't find a female director?

I know exactly what it means and George is the definition of it.

>>87370295
I worked at Target in undergrad several years ago, this means literally nothing other than some dummy in the warehouse over ordered the shits to fill an endcap then the endcap probably died 2 months later and new toys came in.

Also a lot of the toys had the same SKU so the truck would be random, idk remember if funkos were that way. I think they were still a vendor item when I left, so the guy the restocked the pokemon cards would bring some.

>>87370744
That's called a woman

>>87373644
You clearly don't, pal.

Maybe someone realized that he had precisely one successful movie to his name and it was probably a bad idea to hire him

>>87373622
Get real, just because Disney Wars fucked up doesnt mean theyre worse then the Star Wars prequels.

So here's E8 in a nutshell

Finn is recovering in a medical pod.
Rey is initially rejected by Luke who doesn't want to train her
Luke has embraced some weird "grey" Jedi shit about embracing both the dark side and the light.
Luke is eventually convinced to train Rey by the spirits of Yoda and Obi-Wan
Training begins
Finn teams up with his personal fangirl Rose to infiltrate the first order.
There's a big AT-AT battle at the end of the movie
Finn and Rose are captured
Rey leaves Ach-To to rescue her friends
Rey battles the Praetorian Guards and loses
Kylo turns on Snoke
The Millenium Falcon flees the scene with Rey, Kylo, Finn, Rose, Chewie, etc
End of the movie Luke, Rey and Kylo united to fight Snoke

And that's it. All taken from reliable sources and recent leaks.

>>87373662

Yeah I can't imagine the nerd chic Funko crowd didn't eat up hipster Rey merchandise.

The visionary left.

Look at what happened to Disney, when Walt died. His vision was quietly tucked away in a warehouse, and the money people took over.

Kennedy is Roy Disney, trying to save the shreds of what George built, but failing. She's fighting the people who took Roy out, and take solid, fibery dumps on Walt's grave every day.

The only difference is, Walt died. George has to watch them burn it to the ground.

>>87373830

Actually aside from being the "dark" film it's pretty structurally different. I'm surprised.

>>87373622
And George should have sucked up his pride and found collaborators to work on the sequels with him instead of saying "well if they don't like the movies I make I'll just sell the franchise to another company"

George sucks on his own and needs people to fight him on his ideas, and make up their own unique ideas for him to fight then on

He created Star Wars from scratch, and that shows he's talented, but he wasn't never good as a one man show

I hate to tell you this but Disney was broke before Walt died, and it was rescued by the Jews that took the company over in the 80s

>>87373840

>>87372424
Rogue One's characters are all blank slates delivering occasional quips alongside StarWars-y action spectacles that makes fanboys cream their pants and forget that they're being fed a weak plot. Jyn Erso is a passive protagonist who has events simply happen around her, never exerting any influence on the story.
While ROTS is an overblown drama with one-dimensional characters, you can at the very least say that Anakin's downfall had a direct impact on the overall story, and the relationships he had with the other major characters. by no means is ROTS a great film, but I can at least call it one.

Walt disney hated jews, so when he died they bought his entire lifes work and corrupted it.

Same for Star wars now, they will rape it to death.

>>87373710
So it's not just a rehash of Empire. It's also a rehash of Jedi. kek
