It better be something truly ground-breaking then. And of course a Nolan film stars the Batman himself (Robert Pattinson). Which BTW, he read the script and says it's epic, so maybe, just maybe, it's worth the risk? Edited July 1, 2019 by KManX89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So we have Halloween which served as a direct follow up to Film #1, the new Terminator is following up to Judgment Day, and the new Robocop is supposed to be following up to #1. All these movies are direct sequels to older films overwriting previous movie sequels. Is this a new trend? Did I miss any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new RoboCop film from Neill Blomkamp that ignores the 2014 abomination (A PG-13 RoboCop movie, WTF?) is a good thing in my eyes, especially if it goes back to being bloody and violent, which this new film reportedly will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he isn't capable of making an original movie that earns a decent profit on a $225 mil budget because he certainly is (it's Chris effing Nolan), but Interstellar "only" made $667 mil on a $165 mil budget. On a budget of $225 mil, it would range from barely profitable to actually resulting in a loss for WB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd def ignoring that (that was a reboot correct?). I think it's ignoring RB2 and 3 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a remake of the original film, but yeah, this new film is also getting the Halloween treatment and ignoring every sequel after the original. The 2014 movie was supposed to have a sequel IIRC, but it got cancelled because it bombed, thank God. HTF can you have a movie about a literal crime-ridden dystopian hellhole city on the verge of collapsing without any gang violence in it (because PG-13!)? Seriously, the 2014 remake wasn't even violent, and its premise literally requires it to be. Edited July 1, 2019 by KManX89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only will it likely still earn money despite the massive budget, it also brings prestige to the studio and a chance for awards. Technical awards at the very least with a chance for major awards.

True. If anyone's earned the right to make a $225 mil original film, it's Chris Nolan. If anything, this makes me even more excited to learn more. We don't even know what the basic premise is yet, let alone how it'll play out. We know it's a spy action-thriller, that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think animation is the perfect way to make this a series, depending on the tone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
