Quote from: Dafne Keen vía EWYeah, that was a very frequent conversation we had. It was very much: We want to top the Darth Maul fight—the most iconic fight, I think, in the Star Wars cinematic universe. It's such an amazing fight and we were all so excited about the saber fights. There's such a skill and a craft to it that it feels so OG Star Wars and feels so impressive when you see it as a viewer.
Quote from: VarietyProduction, sales and distribution banner Signature Entertainment has acquired U.K. and Irish rights to "Slingshot," the upcoming psychological sci-fi thriller starring Laurence Fishburne and Casey Affleck, from WME Independent.
The film — which follows an astronaut struggling to maintain his grip on reality while aboard a possibly fatally comprised mission to Saturn's moon Titan — was directed by Mikael Håfström ("Evil") from a script by Nathan Parker ("Moon") and R. Scott Adam ("Donner Pass"). David Morrissey ("The Walking Dead"), Emily Beecham ("Hail, Caesar!") and Tomer Capone ("The Boys") also star.
Quote from: VarietyThe upcoming video game "Spine" is already being eyed for film and TV adaptations. Variety learned exclusively that "Spine" developer Nekki has teamed with Story Kitchen to develop potential adaptations of the game.
"We're pleased to begin our journey with Story Kitchen," said Nekki CEO Dmitry Terekhin. "We believe that truly great stories always stand out, and 'Spine' universe will captivate audiences across any media."
"Spine" will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox, though an exact release date is still pending. The official description of the game states it is "a female-led cyberpunk Gun Fu story set in a dystopian world. The main character, Redline, is an adventurous street artist battling against an autocratic AI regime -and its goons- to rescue her captive brother." No writer is currently attached to the project.
Quote from: St_Eddie on Yesterday at 11:35:09 PMExactly. It's Hollywood excess, bullshit spectacle and flies in the face of what the first film was all about. There's absolutely nothing to suggest that the Romans flooded their arenas and used sharks during gladiatorial battles. That particular suggested history comes from Hawaii's historical gladiatorial battles.
It's all just a case of sequelitis; "There were animals in the first film... tigers, so we better go BIGGER for the sequel." Bullshit. I'm hating everything about this movie, from concept to regurgitated plot and 'member berries. As though it weren't enough for Ridley Scott to sully his work on Alien with the prequels, now he's gonna sully Gladiator too. Just... f**k off. Sick of it.
