BARBIE??? Seriously??? 😱🥶😵

There’s a few in there that I find annoying. They’ve redone Oceans 11 at least twice already, I Am Legend 2 not sure what they’ll do, etc.

In fairness Soderbergh's came after like 5 decades, the 2nd Oceans 11 is over 2 decades old by now as well so it's not too surprising. They actually set aside plans for another oceans movie before because of Bernie Mac's death.
Now they've finally found a fitting way apparently.
Idk about I Am Legend either though, cool movie. Wonder which ending they'll go off 🤔

BARBIE??? Seriously??? 😱🥶😵

There's a teaser out, pretty neat actually. They took a page out of 2001 A Space Odyssey's book

😆 Well, we know what the Gandolorian is waiting for...

And the list shows how bankrupt new ideas are really.

Since you seem to know, please tell me - 'cause I don't! 😁
The reason is given in your second comment.😎

It needs its own subthread : D

I recently found out. Its an upcoming anime movie coming out in 2024 with cooperation with Warner Bros i think. Hopefully it will be way better than Rings of Power TV series.
But i am hyped and looking forward to seeing both Sonic 3 movie and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim movie.
Here's a wikipedia link for it.

I am also eager to see this. LOTR in anime style certainly is a dream come true.

 

[Halasían]

Hopefully it will be the first of many Embracer/Warner Brothers stories extracted from the appendices.
As I did with the PJ movies and Rings of Power ... Hope for the Best; expect the worst.

It has one. 😉

Unless you mean "subforum". It's an idea.

Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.

I'm not going to write it off eight months before it is released.

Neither am I.

An update

'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' gives us a first look of the animated feature. Rohan rides into Annecy with a glimpse of the movie.

Well, definitely looks like it will walk in the paths of PJ with well outsized Oliphaunts carrying troops on their backs and who knows what else Tolkien never intended.

So the Ents (of which I'm the only remaining one I know of, so I can speak for 'us all') will view it knowing it doesn't intend to correct certain errors.

Good to know 'going into the game'. Will take it for what it is, and not for what it's not, as always.

well outsized Oliphaunts

-
Don't forget that even biggest Oliphaunt, can be knock down by a single swing with the sword on the back of his knee.

Oh trust me, I'm not forgetting much of anything about the Oliphaunts.

Other than like the balrogs, the dragons and great worms, the relative power of the various groups, etc. they're all misrepresented by the movies, and most fandom.

What's been done with them (in one respect) has as much attachment to Tolkien's text as does bunnies pulliing a sled filled with a bird-poop covered Radagast. (note - "in one respect". At least Oliphaunts really were in the text. But PJs Oliphaunts weren't, other than in name.)

That said, I don't want to be or seem too negative about it.

Oversized oluphaunts with troops and troop platforms on their backs smashing things and people, and having big pokey spikes on their oversized tusks, DO make for terrific spectacle, and pull the viewers (and dollars) in. So PJ knew what he was doing..! (As does the Rohirrim thing coming soon apparently, too.)

"Éowyn, along with her uncle Théoden, are descendants of Helm."
Nope. Of Helm's sister. As she and her brother Éomer, first king of the third line of Kings of Rohan, were children of Théoden's sister ...
