Name it after the main character for gritty minimalism
WARNER BROTHERS PRESENTS:
MOWGLI
Is this thread going to be invaded by hurt fanboys as well? You would think being fans of DC would make them demand better movies instead of tirelessly propping up bad ones.
Anyway, Jungle Book looks pretty good. I will wait for Blu Ray but I don't really go to the movies much. I will only go 3 times this year most likely (Civil War, Doctor Strange, Rogue One).

Give Shere Khan a mother named Raksha
I regret not seeing Zootopia when it came out. They stopped all showings around here.
It's a great film and holds the line better than Jungle Book.

Think he may be a bit optimistic since next week is basically the last time it'll make any substantial money overseas.

I wonder if Alice is one of those sunk costs scenarios. They finished principle photography a year and a half ago. Obviously they were not in a rush to get the finished product out there.

Gitesh called a $900M finish last weekend, and we knew by then it wasn't happening. I don't think that $875M will be a huge overshot though. BvS will clearly hit $850M. Maybe $860-865M is more likely.
As brutal as the first half of the year is, Nov through Dec is straight BRUTAL...

I figure all of the Disney Renaissance movies are safe from live action versions, call me optimistic.
Was it this Russian one?

I remember watching this about as much as the Disney movie.
Bobby's already planning on using those Star Wars shill checks to remodel his kitchen this winter.
If there's even a 1% chance...
Beauty and the Beast is coming, what, next year?
Which renaissance? 90s or present?
I don't think we will get Frozen or Tangled live action any time soon if that is what you mean.
Isn't Beauty and the Beast coming soon?
Edit: I wouldn't mind seeing Disney do Hunchback again.

Beauty and the Beast is indeed soon; March 2017 in fact. That'll be an interesting performance to watch since it seems that it'll be a full on musical.
Next year for Beauty and the Beast. Plus isn't there a live-action Aladdin in the works too?
I mean. They could still get the same voice cast entirely and have Elton John back as well. It's not the worst one they could do, imo, even if there are no humans in it.
I haven't heard that but I would love that. Second fave Disney movie.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Pocahontas and Hunchback of Notre Dame are two Disney Renaissance films I can't imagine them trying to do live action versions of. Everything else seems like it could be on the table.
I only got a 50 inch TV for my Marvel advertising, I must do something wrong
My gut says closer to Cinderella, but who knows.
Oz was a bit on the expensive side, but they are basically 5/5 so far with the live action adaptations. Maybe Through the Looking Glass will be the first mis-step.
Wait, what? Really??

Mulan is happening too.
Why? Animal-heavy movies would be the tough ones. Lion King in particular.
Oh man. That'd be epic in scope. Could they whitewash that?
Now that I think about it an Indian kid is the main in Jungle Book.

Lion King is definitely happening sooner rather than later. It's the most renowned Disney film of the last 50 years, easily; the 3D re-release did $94M , which easily trounces any other 3D re-release.
I think the overseas take of Oz firmly puts it in the disappointment territory. I don't think anyone expected it to fall off so much from Alice on the international front.
They are already calling it Jungle Book: Origins which makes it sound like a prequel.

Add Titano?

Starring Chloë Grace Moretz..
Did a quick check and found out it was a prequel about the Genie. But it was shelved after Robin Williams' death and no one can use his image or voice, both used and un-used material, for 25 years after his death (which will be August 2039).

So they might either take a completely different route with it or just put it on hold. Or have someone new as Genie.
Can't wait to see white people acting like they're lions!
Have you read/watched Hamlet?
I'd assume that the darker leanings of Hunchback would probably make it a hard sell in live-action and might even potentially court something closer to a PG-13 rating, which would drive away the family crowd. It was always a strange story for Disney to adapt, because even after all the sanitation they did on the source material, it's still a pretty bleak tale.

Didn't really stop Jungle Book
Lion King would actually be in a weird spot where they could just flat out get the vast majority of the old cast back.
Yes, the one play with Patrick Stewart

Knowing Hollywood, there's no telling.
Mowgli casting gives me hope, though.
Hunchback is too dark for Disney to make a live action version of, especially if they follow the stage musical they did two years ago.
LOL
