Ryan Gosling to take the reins in a new Star Wars movie coming out in theaters in 2027

[mysto]

A good actor whose likable and a director that doesn't need 7 reshoots to complete a movie. This guy likes working with Ryans.

Sounds promising, and including a Ryan is a good move. I'll set my alarm for 2027.

Without trolls we'd have nothing to talk about! I trolls.

I've heard that Rey, Daisy Ridley, is confirmed to be in the movie as well! I'm also really looking forward to A Simple Favor 2 on streaming soon. I saw that commercial for it the other day on TV. The first one was such a great movie! By the way, the new Star Wars movie is titled Star Wars Episode X: New Jedi Order!

I actually loved Rey as a character, at first, until they sequels and the characters got all over the place.

Maybe Starkiller can do some repair work to a character that started out awesomely.

I agree, I actually liked the Force Awakens when it came out. But the sequels somehow seemed to ruin even that one, at least for me.

I think most did. Sure it was in essence a soft reboot but most said, okay I'll see where this goes. Then 8 and 9 came and wet the bed. After that I find it hard to care about TFA.

I was hoping that she ended up with Po. But for some odd, strange reason they didn't meet right away. And furthermore didn't have many scenes together.

I would guess that's because Poe was supposed to die in the tie fighter crash at the beginning. So they just wrote him back in at the end.

It's one of my biggest gripes when discussing the sequels with people. For all the flaws with TFA there was still so much potential. I was excited for where it'd go.

Just because a mystery box was opened in TFA that was never filled in the sequels. Doesn't mean they couldn't have been filled in a good way. People like to retroactively look back as if they were all one continuous piece. As opposed to set up. Where the next writer completely fumbled to deliver a good continuation.

People will discuss TFA as if it was made with the intention of TLJ. That it's ending of plotlines in bad ways was the only option. When everything was so open, they could have done the complete opposite.

The flaw is, TFA was built a lot around that expectation of where it would go. So now the film doesn't play well when you know it all goes to trash.

For example you mention Rocky, that was a movie done for under $1M, again under $1M. No movie is being made today for that, not even indie movies.

Quick aside on an old post: There's actually a whole category for movies with budgets under $1M at the Spirit Awards -- the John Cassavetes Award. Our local art museum used to screen them every Feb/Mar, but haven't since 2018, and man... there's some really great stuff out there. To loosely tie it to this thread, A Ghost Story (starring Ryan Gosling & Rooney Mara) from 2017 was a nominee.

But yes, your point stands... the vast majority of movies in theaters today has a budget in the multiple millions.

Meh…

Everyone was hopeful.

But that’s just it…the same thing happened twice. It wasn’t about just making good stories and characters… it was all about “consumer base building”.

It’s the flaw of the system. Just as Star Wars lead the popcorn/multimedia revolution…it also lead the destruction of what makes a “good bet” in Hollywood…twice.

Just a good story arc and some characters that seem invested…that’s all it would take. Especially with that IP.

But it’s never enough. Not enough respect for the audience or the impact of the films. A huge flaw in the system.

So they’re trying to stash Ridley in this? I guess that isn’t a terrible idea. She can use the work and putting more comfortable setting around the character may generate some buzz for it?

Just as long as she’s not some ninja pilot. No. Learn from your mistakes.

Of course they talk about budgets in the “making of” documentaries, go back to what I said “Production costs and box office really only matter to those that make the films”. So of course the people making the movie are going to talk about the budget. What you quoted was me talking about the audience, audiences 15-20 years ago didn’t think twice about a budget, most didn’t even know what the budget was for a film, heck most still don’t today.

Also difference is those films you’re talking about were mostly small budget films to begin with. So costs are tightly controlled to begin with. For example you mention Rocky, that was a movie done for under $1M, again under $1M. No movie is being made today for that, not even indie movies. Coming back to Rocky that was a passion project that Sly did himself.

Anyways back to this movie, before we start throwing around numbers why don’t we wait to see what the actual reported budget is, they may find a way to keep costs down with this one.

If you two want “cinema”…you’re following a company on the wrong side of town for that.
