Nah, get him to write and direct The Meteor Man reboot.
I would be completely fine if Disney got it and just gave the franchise to Justin Lin.

Antoine Fuqua would be a better fit with the RZA doing the soundtrack.
Mediocre whitewashing movies and TV shows take L's. Doctor Strange got lucky.
Hey Hollywood have I got a pitch for YOU.
The villain is this guy

But he's 50 ft tall and eats people.
Audiences will eat it up (haha!).
I'm looking for a $200M production budget.

I like Fuqua but I dont think he would be a good fit. I would want someone to bring some more visual flair.
Soundtrack is just RZA already. Hell, bring over the game soundtrack too. I think I preferred it to the flick.
If we're talking about adaptions, Bebop is still the best and easiest adaption not done. Spike looks like Keanu Reeves and it's basically around the same persona. Doesn't need to be fairly large budget and the 2 part episodes would each make a great flick for your trilogy. It's popular, it takes from Western, Scifi, and Jazz, etc. It's not really culturally reliant on a single place, etc.

The Ancient One wasn't the name of the movie. Dr. Strange was and he is White.
I think Wulf is talking about movies like GitS and Gods Of Egypt where the leads were White re-imaginings.
BTW, what up, Wulf?

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Saw three movies this week. Power Rangers, Life, and Ghost in the Shell. The fucking Power Rangers movie was the one that handled its characters the best. Power Rangers! The other two were throughly mediocre.
Part of me is sad to see Ghost in the Shell flounder cause I want more female led action movies and more anime adaptations. The other part remembers how lazy the movie is and doesn't want to see that rewarded. Everything good about the movie was in the trailers, and everything good about the trailers is them copying from the animated films. It didn't even do Ghost in the Shell existential mumbo jumbo well. Just the occasional "Who am I?" sprinkled across the script.

Oh, whoops. Forgot Justice League was later in the year compared to BvS.
Ghost in the Shell will probably make a 200 million profit, so that should not kill either of these movies.

Anyone know what kind of release Colossal is getting next week?
200m profit?

Holy shit at that comment on deadline

Of course not but it's not comparable.
GitS and Gods Of Egypt were movies explicitly marketed with all White leads, where the subject matter didn't call for that.
Dr. Strange had a White lead in the title role but there was White washing lower down the rungs, ala the Johnny Depp Tonto in the Lone Ranger.

I dont know about that.
Ghost in the Shell has about as much chance at making $200M in profit as Monster Trucks had.

"You in danger, gurl" is a quote from Ghost (1990).
Whoopi Goldberg says it to Demi Moore.

Where are you pulling $200M from?
It was either that or a Christen Slater reference, but these damn kids will be like "The Mr.Robot guy was in Star Trek?"
It already has made more money on foreign market than Power Rangers did in two weeks. It will probably do numbers like Warcraft or Pacific Rim and it was cheaper then both of them.
297 million.
Probably a mistaken belief that Profit = WW Gross - Prod Budget
Even then $310M WW is probably pushing it.

That I get.
The capitalized U in gUrl and the first half of the title is weird...Always.
I would love for one of the titles to be K-Swizz doing his Rachel Maddow style world building where he ingeniously takes data from today and links it to like the box off totals of Hudson Hawk or sumshit.

Do you think those movies cleared $200 million profit?

Good or bad? Seems ok for an animated movie.
Considering they are still debating a sequel for Warcraft and Pacific Rim 2 was pushed through using Guillermo del Toro's tears as lube , not that big of an achivement
Well at the end after Hollywood accounting no movie has made a profit, but it will make that money, I am quite sure.

Well, when you see bombs like Ghostbusters or even Life (Reynolds and Gyllenhaal) it at least is something. Power Rangers will fall behind it as well and several other movies, so I guess you can't have everything, but at least it is something.

Wait wait wait, which Devotion of Suspect X movie is this? The Japanese one or the Korean adaptation? Or was there an American adaptation?

Its pretty meh for animation, though its modest budget helps.
That gross is solidly B or C tier as far as animation goes.

Why? I thought they said PR's first weekend.box office beat expectations so it should be going good right?
They probably weren't banking on a DCEU style second weekend drop.

Flop in the Shell.
Maybe this will finally fracture Hollywood's attempts at adapting anime the wrong way.

To be fair, that sequence is god awful.
Oh, and the intro with the gerbil aliens was Attack of the Clones-level shit.
Oh, and the action was incredibly underwhelming, especially considering who's behind the camera.
I still thought Beyond was alright, but it has some serious issues. I can totally see why it bombed.
