I mean it's pretty obvious they plan to make TFA episode 100 I'd honestly be shocked if it wasn't
No love for Order 99?
You know, part of me actually want to see Darth Jar Jar, just because of how insanely stupid it would be. Other than that I don't really care.
Anyway, I watched the Frankenstein video and while they were discussing the script and the cut part about reviving a dead baby it occurred to me that that is the real problem with all that script vetting bullshit: producers wouldn't know a good dramatic moment (or even money shot for that matter) when it hits them in the fucking face. Reviving a dead baby could basically be a king Solomon type moment with Ian Malcolm screaming in the back, while raising said revived baby to the onlooking audience (before it just stops or something). In terms of drama, that could be great. And it would certainly be a factor in the troubled relation between the scientific merit of the research (also invoking realism effect) versus what that means.
I know that's not what this movie was ever made or intended to be, but that just hit me. I mean, who even wants to see a comedic type Frankenstein movie? We already had 'no left turns allowed' Prometheus, so you really have to ask who this was intended for.
It's also weird that nobody seems to know that Frankenstein's golem was not a monster in appearance, that was the change made by the Boris "cocksucker!" (Ed Wood) Carloff movie. The original novel is apparently more of a Lucifer type deal: handsome and charming, and no discernible soul of any kind.
The fact that they stick with the 'monster' aspect is why even Robert De Niro couldn't make anything out of it. *looks the movie up* and directed by Kenneth Branagh to boot. If there was something there in terms of good story, they would have found it.
*looks up boxoffice* huh, 112 mil on a 45 budget. I always thought that movie bombed hard, but apparently it did okay.
And I, Frankenstein managed to just make back its budget of 65 mil at 71. Ha! Also, how is that movie so expensive?
Meanwhile, Victor Frankenstein is apparently on top of the 'Worst Wide Opening' list. The top three is all Fox too, which apparently made this movie, not Universal.
