Good. They need to rethink the way they operate.

Hooray!

The only live action remake Disney should be making is the Black Cauldron.

A pause seems plausible. But don't count on it to last.

Disney's live studios used to put out about 7 flops for every successful tentpole making the overall finances a wash (in the theatrical window).

The current live-action-remake along with sequels and prequels are batting .500, making the franchise train a bigger success than what came before.

Doubling and tripling down on franchises is what made Disney movies financially revive (over all) in the post-pandemic era, and was the announced strategy.

So... again... I wouldn't bet that the rumor of this pause signals a big change in direction.

It's crazy that instead of making an animated sequel, which would do huge numbers (see Moana 2), they opted to do another live action remake that nobody asked for and would do maybe half the box office.

There's a good reason why casting is done by professionals hired to, you know, cast actors, and not left up to plebes behind a keyboard.

Here we go, the Disney Brigade has showed up. To defend the poor Billion dollar company and their awful casting choices.

I just want whoever it is to look like Rapunzel. Like they did with the Lilo and Stitch castings. It takes me out of the movie or show if they don't look like the character.

 

[Disney Irish]

Not sure why we're talking about fan casting anyways when the movie appears to be paused (maybe cancelled) right now.

Do you count the 3 season animated series as a sequel?

I feel compelled to point out that, unlike some casting professionals currently working at Disney, I have never cost the company (or any company) over a hundred million dollars because of a poor casting decision. So maybe the professionals shouldn't be put on a pedestal.

Looking forward to the AI generated hair.

Well, there was the animated series...

I’ve never cost Disney (or any company) over a hundred million dollars because of a poor casting decision either!

I’m curious. Are there any others out there who can say the same?

I dont

 

[Disney Irish]

I dont

So what do you count that as then, especially since the Moana 2 movie started life as a sequel series.

I have seen some bad casting lately. Maybe they should give the plebes a shot...

it's nothing. You could easily make a sequel that disregards everything in the tv series and nobody would bat an eye

You just don't have the brilliant insight that led to genius casting decisions like Gal Gadot, who even the staunch Snow White defenders can't defend because she sucks.

Meanwhile, plebs on the Internet have been mocking her acting for years.

And theres a reason why that field is littered with the corpses of films they've killed when they drank too much of the kool-aid. (To be honest it was actually grape flavored Flavor Aid spiked with Cyanide they used at Jonestown). You wonder why certain actors are "blacklisted" ? That's because their baggage (social, political, lifestyle) outweighs their ability to attract average customers.

It's all one big gimmick. Stunt casting. Doesn't matter if they're the most qualified or best actor for the job. Same goes for voice acting. There was a time when movie studios actually cast the right people for the role. I agree, Casting has been a wash for awhile now.
