Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Is In Trouble?

Star-Wars-Rogue-One

Apparently, according to Page 6, Disney Execs are in a panic because Rogue One: A Star Wars Story isn’t testing well, and the movie is undergoing extensive reshoots.  Disney of course is saying that reshoots are part of any major blockbuster, and they just want to make the film as good as possible, but with only about six months left until the movie comes out that doesn’t leave a lot of time for shooting, editing and added special effects.

Granted Disney is a on a bit a hot streak with their flicks, so I am inclined to cut them a little slack, and saying a movie is in trouble will get your site more hits than saying everything is just peachy-keen, but Disney is cutting it close, so hopefully these reshoots are tweaks and not entirely new scenes.  I guess we only have to wait a few months to find out how things will turn out, but I have my fingers crossed because that first trailer was pretty great!

What Are The DC Shows On The CW Up Too?!

the-flash

I am watching the season finales of the CW’s DC shows and I have to wonder what the heck is going on!  I am not one to reveal spoilers, and I am not going to start now, but I am super confused.  I guess I will have to watch next year to find out, but I am not happy with the way things are going.  With the exception of the fact that Legends of Tomorrow finally uttered the words, “Justice Society of America”.  It was one of the best things ever said on television.  Plus Supergirl is pretty darn great, so hopefully she can be pretty darn great with all of her friends on the CW and fix this mess our superheroes are creating for themselves.

WB Put A Comic Book Guy In Charge Of DC Movies!

Thanks to Batman v Superman ‘only’ bringing in $860 Million worldwide and getting slammed by the critics, Warner Brothers has decided to shake up the people in charge of making DC movies.  In short Geoff Johns is the new head of DC Movies.  This move is meant to emulate having Kevin Feige in charge of Marvel Studios.  Despite how some people may feel about Johns’ work, he is definitely a comic book guy, and he understands the characters as well as just about anyone.  If you were hoping for DC movies to be more comic book-y, I think you are in luck.  I hope that long time Warner executive Jon Berg doesn’t get in his way too much.

What Is In A Name? Transformers: The Last Knight!

transformers-the-last-knight

Look, the Michael Bay transformers movies are bad.  Very bad, but due to my love of the franchise when I was a kid I still at least keep track of them, and then I watch them when they don’t cost me anything extra.  I don’t see that changing with Transformers 5, but I have to say the title is throwing me for a loop.  The Last Knight?  Are the Transformers royal now?  Are they next in line to be king?  Is Batman coming to save the day?  Man I hope it is Batman.  Because the new murder-y Batman would kill these abominations before they could destroy another city.

Sadly I am assuming that they have run out of ideas and that they are going to shoehorn in the Arthurian Legend.  It shows how wrong we were to think things couldn’t get any worse for this film franchise.  I wonder what beloved story they are going to appropriate for Transformers 6?  Cinderella?  Transformers: The Glass Slipper coming out in 2019!  I am probably not far off, I think I am going to go cry…
