Anonymous Coward User ID: 79677917 United States 08/04/2022 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a bigger seismic shift in Hollywood priorities than you could imagine. Every multi-million dollar production made by a major studio is released somewhere somehow. That garbage Dark Phoenix movie? Full wide release. Fantastic 4? Same. Look at all the garbage on any streaming service. If it gets produced to completion, it is released in some form. Literally. Every. Shitty. Movie. Is released in some form if they cost more than like a few million dollars, for the simple fact there are no magical "write-offs" the populace thinks Hollywood can just do. In general, people don't understand what write-offs are, but that's another post entirely. This is why I made this thread: this is an EXTREMELY rare thing for a studio to do with a COMPLETELY FINISHED FILM. It's literally never happened before. Even Clifford (a other underrated comedy IMO) was released like 4 years after it was finished because someone somewhere wants something back from their investment. The only unreleased stuff studios produce are pilots and "ashcan copies" - a term referring to productions whose sole purpose is to extend copyright. These are even released, as they legally have to to keep the copyright. See: bizarre interview with an elderly Warren Beatty in character as Dick Tracy that was aired a handful of times so he could keep copyright, and the wonky 1994 Roger Corman Fantastic Four film so the studio could retain copyright. And that was bootlegged eventually to audiences. So everyone, understand: this is a signal of a huge shift in priorities in Hollywood, to the point the new CEO is cancelling nearly half a billion dollars' worth of produced material to erase any potential wokeness from infecting the DC cinematic universe forever. This signals a real-market reaction to the general public's overall negative reaction to having leftist politics not only being inserted but mostly being the entire point of massive productions. They are hemorrhaging money and have been for years trying to force this direction on the public. So true business sense--the kind that makes you the new CEO of a major film studio--dictates that you'll get the sunken cost of your predecessor just to stop more woke shit from fucking up the $. This is why this is important: in the US, money talks. It's been spoken. Those dependent on public favor for their $ are going to start quietly dialing back the woke shit nobody likes (or at the very least are political positions held by people without actual disposable income). The market has spoken and this is one of the two movies (possibly 3, if Ezra Miller ends up killing somebody or something before/during reshoots) never publicly released. And the ONLY movie backed by a major movie studio to never be released. Think on that. |

It was already in test marketing. I've been to a lot of them. All of them get released no matter how shitty. Outside of sound effects, score, and maybe some reshoots if it goes badly, the movie you see in a test market phase is 98% complete. You have no idea how things work. |

The problem with this Woke shit was it had the potential to destroy the Batman franchise completely. Their thinking was this was that bad. They like to make a Batman Movie blockbuster every few years. That is the only real reason they ditched it,Thinking ahead Dogsbollocks |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72738763 United Kingdom 08/05/2022 02:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I doubt a lot of the woke films/tv series are being made to actually make money. The woke industry went up a notch when Obama got in. I think they funnel money straight from the Federal Reserve through the banking system, a few billion here and there wont be missed. This is used to promote the woke agenda. Nobody would put their own money down the tube for this. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83953136 Germany 08/05/2022 02:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This caused the death of most Hollyweird bullshit in the short term. Hopefully, it's a long term malady. Quoting: BrainGuy One thing about Woke Leftism is that its supporters have enough fuck-you power, they somehow manage to not totally fall apart. Think of how much of the 20th century was full of Woke Leftism. For example, Adolf Hitler was a homosexual German into animal rights and socialism. His regime declared that compassion should be the leading trait of Germany and the German people. Look at how much fuck-up Woke power Hitler had for several years. Then Joseph Stalin took over much of eastern Europe and fucked up things even more. |

User ID: 78212432 United States 08/05/2022 03:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I doubt the movie was even made. All I ever see from that movie is the same photo of some twat in a ridiculous b-grade looking bat outfit. Quoting: Daniel~Sun It was made because the actors are all mad about it being shelved, claiming they worked so hard and how awesome it was. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
