It's quite likely that Chapter 1 has already covered the budgets for the next two. They all were shot back to back, so they are more or less done already.
Yes, a sequel is in the works currently. They recently announced they have received a development grant from the Finnish Movie Institute.
I thought the trailer was pretty bad, in all honesty. Visually nice, but otherwise somewhat bland.
Well, this aged poorly.
I recall reading, the beginning is more or less what Stone wrote, but Milius changed quite a bit after that. There were all kinds of lizard mutants and whatnot.
Personally, I like them both. Conan is a more nuanced character in Howard's stories, but the movie is a very good adaptation of the world Howard created. And while Arnold's Conan isn't Howard's Conan, he fits well in the movie.
This aged well
It looks very, very good. When Dune Part 1 did less than stellar on the BO, I was afraid there would not be a sequel, but thank gods WB let Villeneuve do this
They are really circling Keaton's Batman around this movie as much as they can.
The 1st Shazam felt kind of like a fluke to me. It was a movie about a relatively unknown hero that managed to be somewhat refreshing among the usual superhero movies. That said, I don't think that many people were left hankering for more of the same.
Yeah, that really seems the case with this one.
I'd rank it among that handful of winners I'll remember winning.
If anything, Disney/Fox is probably finally breathing normally thanks to how well it has done at the box office. The 1st movie happened over a decade ago and A2 wasn't a guaranteed success. It becoming a 3rd highest grossing movie gives more than enough confidence for them for the rest of the Cameron Avatar movies.
Here's a question though. In this day and age, how much has Baywatch even aired around the world anymore? I don't really see it as in demand show anymore.
Tarzan isn't really a stranger to doing superhuman acts in the original books. He often does come out as a bit of a superman in the stories. Burroughs often underlines how normal humans would have just died if they were placed under the same ordeals as Tarzan.
But yeah, The Legend of Tarzan is a pretty fun movie. It has that nice pulp feel a Tarzan movie should have.
Cameron is good at making movies that deliver the viewer away from reality for the duration of the movie. He is very good at making excellent special effects serve a mediocre script in a way, that not many directors can, which for many is worth at least one admission. In a word, he is very good at making escapism.
And better yet, you were lowballing it.
This was perhaps the biggest failure of the movie. Fincher was clearly imitating a style he might like but didn't quite know how to re-create.
Yeah, with this case, Baldwin being the producer does shift the blame towards him as well, especially if they can prove, that he was skimping on expenses by hiring people not qualified or something in that vein.
