Hollywood is bereft of original ideas and sequels are still safer than original ideas. Having said that, the closest thing to a box office guarantee is a Pixar movie or a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Don't expect Disney to change any time soon.
I dont think the frozen gravy train will last that long.
So he said that in 2011 before Avengers came out, and now he's saying it in 2015 before Episode VII comes out...
He is right, but it a comes down to timing. If the SW installment goes Jar Jar Binks, he will look like Nostredamoues. If not, he will look like an average prognosticator. He is a broken clock predictor.
Even the original Jar Jar Binks movie still took in a ton of money, and this Star Wars movie has Luke, Han, Leia, and another generation of fans behind it.
Yes, but Jar Jar was such an artistic wet fart in a new pair of tightly whities
Youre right, Not a chance this will fail. JJ is a fan and a talented film maker. He already assured us of a better movie due to use of practical effects.
Me so hope so
Reminder that each Prequel film had more practical effects and miniatures then the entire original trilogy combined. Yes, there was blue-screens everywhere, but the bulk of those fantastical backgrounds and cityscapes were done with bigatures as it was just more cost-effective to build it and digitally composite actors into miniatures then it was to model all that stuff at the time.
But the amount of CGI that was used when practical effects were muchere better was staggering. The biggest case IMO was Jabba in the remastered trilogy. How terrible was that?#
Amazing considering they only paid $1 billion for the outstanding half of all of Universal Orlando Resort. This doesn't even include CityWalk, which was recently sold.
Considering USJ is their highest attended park, it's no surprise they would want this.
