media_junkie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have no idea why this movie bombed. I mean the guys (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) that wrote the movie have such a huge roll call of hits to their name; D2, Larryw7, MAR1979 and 3 others 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I'm not judging you, if I was doing that I'd have brought up your cosplaying as Gerald Butler from the "Gods of Egypt".

Man, that movie was trash of the worst caliber. But seriously, The Last Witch Hunter surprised me as I just assumed fairly new writers and a later Vin Diesel. Tiny surprises can happen.

Tiny surprises can happen. You must be one of the only ones it surprised. But I get it, we all like different (not great things). Not to bust on only you, but I enjoyed Dracula Untold. Neither movie is what I'd call "Cenematic Gold". Bosco685 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tie-in near the end to a larger universe was a decent tease. But then Universal got spooked and claimed, "Oh that isn't the beginning of our MonsterVerse. The Mummy with Tom Cruise will be the beginning!" MR SigS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post media_junkie Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 Yeah, I'd rather have seen more Luke Evans as Dracula than Tom Cruise as Mummy (or whatever he was going to end up being). But to get this thread back on track, I've heard that Sony has called up these two writers again to take another crack at a "Spider-verse" villian. Third time's a charm, fellas!

MAR1979 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Heads need to roll at Sony for yet another disaster, a disaster that most any id10t predicted from the day Madame Web was announced. P.S. Those still sitting on piles of Peter Parker 24 clinging to hope a "Hypno Hustler" film will be made..well it wont be! Unless of course Sony converts their business model to a full time money laundering organization! Edited February 18 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperheart Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 it's amazing that MW is trailing Morbius by nearly $20M after 6 days but it is even more amazing that over 2M people paid to see this move Morbius Madame Web $ 17,300,000 $ 6,100,000 $ (11,200,000) $ 30,500,000 $ 8,200,000 $ (22,300,000) $ 39,000,000 $ 12,500,000 $ (26,500,000) $ 41,100,000 $ 18,900,000 $ (22,200,000) $ 43,800,000 $ 23,400,000 $ (20,400,000) $ 45,500,000 $ 25,800,000 $ (19,700,000) MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I have to assume these writers are NOT coming up with the story for these movies. That's got to be some executive/director saying "this is what I want" and then they just go hire some dudes to "write" it. Which probably involves putting it in proper screenplay format and not a lot else. There's no way these people would keep getting hired based on their brilliant ideas or the cleverness of their dialogue, or, basically anything creative they might have to do. They are (probably cheap) hired guns. Maybe they work fast too. Probably easy to write fast when you don't need to worry about things like plot, character development, or coherent dialog.

Honestly at this point I think Sony is just laundering money/tax write offs with these movies. I mean seriously who at Sony said "Well let's have the same guys that wrote Morbius do this one for us!".

Axelrod Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 In fairness, looks like they are the (co)creators and writers of the Lost in Space reboot on Netflix, which was pretty good. So, maybe when they're doing their own stuff they're okay. Probably still getting some business off residual goodwill from that series as well, as I don't see any of those other shows being particularly anything to brag about on one's resume.
