About to go live, chatting with indie filmmaker Andrew Saullo about his work on Resident Evil and Dino Crisis fan films. youtube.com/watch?v=pTxuCAZ7…
Fuckity bye, pricks.
James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-heads of DC Studios after four years:
• Marvel Studios veteran Jeremy Latcham will take over as president and chief creative officer on Dec. 1
• Gunn and Safran will “return full time to their creative work” ahead of “Man of Tomorrow,” the sequel to 2025’s “Superman,” which hits theaters July 9, 2027.
• Said Gunn and Safran: “Four years ago, we set out to unite DC under one creative vision. In that time, we helped restore Superman to the heart of DC, while opening new doors and telling new stories in film and television with Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface. We’re immensely proud of the team that turned that ambition into something real, including the actors, crews and executives we had the opportunity to collaborate with. We’ve shared a creative history with Jeremy going back to Marvel, and we’re eager to see the perspective he brings to DC’s next chapter. We’re excited to return to what drew us to this job in the first place, which is telling the stories we love, including the next chapter of Clark and Lex’s journey in Man of Tomorrow.”

Love And Thunder absolutely killed his career. And rightly so.
Taika Waititi addresses the negative reception of ‘KLARA AND THE SUN’ from critics:
“I haven’t read a review of anything aimed at me or my peers in almost 15 years. But I do listen to the people. 💥🎉🫶🏽💦
So this Halloween, let’s spare a thought for those sad lost souls who couldn’t achieve their dreams of becoming artists, and thus became critics. The same people who also hated Jojo Rabbit 😂🤷🏽♂️
Irrelevant. Out of touch. Obsolete. In the bin. 🗑️😢🫶🏽”
1. Make a movie called Resident Evil.
2. Movie has almost no connection to Resident Evil.
3. Get angry when fans call out movie for having almost no connection to Resident Evil.
Modern filmmaking, everyone.
Zach Cregger says he was frustrated with the reaction to his Resident Evil movie because people spent too much time arguing about how different it was from the games.
“I was frustrated at the conversation around Resident Evil and how much of the conversation really didn’t have anything to do with the movie.”
People kept focusing on missing characters, changes to the lore and why the film wasn’t closer to the original games.
Cregger wanted to capture what it feels like to play Resident Evil rather than just copy the games’ story and characters.
He’s still proud of the movie, though, and says he made exactly the film he wanted.

Does it feel good, reducing something as epic as Lord of the Rings to the level of a cheap Mexican soap opera? Actually, that's unfair. At least Mexican soap operas have hot women in them.
Things are about to get steamy in Middle-earth. With Jamie Campbell Bower making his debut as Celeborn in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” season three, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) will be forced to choose between her husband and Sauron (Charlie Vickers). bit.ly/4BrwlFP
