Edgar Wright on how the success of ‘THE AVENGERS’ made him walk away from directing ‘ANT-MAN’:
“You want to put your own spin on it … [But] the whole franchise had blown up. There was a house style. The thing that attracted me about it had gone away.”

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

Give the increased consolidation of the industry it’s hard to feel hopeful at all
James Gunn, on this week's Peacemaker podcast, talks about how Disney fired him from Guardians 3 after bad-faith right-wing trolls hammered the company. He recalls going through a dark time, realizing he had good friends who loved him, creatively realigning, and now he's running a movie studio.

I’m kinda getting annoyed when people dismiss the plot of action movies because they didn’t go for it. Plot connects us to the characters and if it’s messy and unfocused it’s hard to make the action feel worth it.
