Is this the first film that a studio basically had to be bullied into releasing instead of just burying for a tax break?

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 15 points 6 days ago

Essentially. WB shelved it. Then after the backlash, reversed their decision and tried selling to other studios and streamers but were apparently asking for about $115m to sell it. Eventually Ketchup Entertainment, who are releasing the film next year, bought it for $50m.

I hope it makes tons of money.

It’s such a hyped up film but I know it will be garbage

Cool poster, love how understated it is.

26..? Isn't the movie already complete?

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago

Ketchup Entertainment only bought the film a couple of months ago. I guess they want time to build up a promotional campaign.

Seems like a lot of the hype will have died down. Hopefully they can build it back up.

I’m unnaturally excited to see this movie!

What do you think it’s a remake of?

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

do you think they are debuting this almost 100year old cartoon here?

Just because some piece of media, isn't brand new, doesn't mean it's a remake... Is there evidence that they're going to reuse entire setups or recreate gags verbatim from the show?

Looney Tunes: Back in Action wasn't a remake, despite being a lot newer than the original source material.

Here's the thing that's really pissing me off; I already know the ending. Back when this movie would, "never see the light of day," someone (the director I think, or maybe one of the leads) did an interview explaining how the movie was going to end. It sounded hilarious, but now that I know what the bit is, it's going to be significantly less funny.

That’s brilliant.
