I think PIRT1 is a pure Depp-vehicle in which the story (such as it was) and everything else was immaterial. ALICE and Wonka the same...
He has the same virtuosic charsima HLEDG achieved in BATM2. It's just unusual, I think, to find this sort of charisma inside a tentpole budget. But the cancellation, if it's real, seems to me a studio not understanding what it is working for it. I wonder if JDEPP has achieved some version of what studio-heyday actors (like Gable) achieved... that's not exactly the right way to think about it, I know.
DL Disney scraps [LONER] (link) Aug 12, 19:09
That is a damn shame for Armie Hammer. Hope someone finds a way to use him as well as LONER might've {nm} Aug 12, 19:19
MOVIE IS NOT SCRAPPED. SCROLL UP A COUPLE OF POSTS {nm} Aug 12, 21:39
Ah, nice to be home on a Friday night. {nm} Aug 12, 19:20
DARN lucky for me!!! {nm} Aug 12, 19:24
U don't need to be home, all u need is a smartphone with Internet connection ;) {nm} Aug 12, 19:30
Like me ;) {nm} Aug 12, 19:42
Wish they'd get forums up on the mobile site though {nm} Aug 12, 20:00
A $250M Western? What, it's got aliens? $300M for OMARS?! {nm} Aug 12, 19:21
OMARS has colossal bust written all over it {nm} Aug 12, 19:33
OMARS COMING!!!!!! {nm} Aug 12, 19:46
Ha! Well played {nm} Aug 12, 19:52
I liked Omar. One of the more noble characters in the series. Got to have a code. {nm} Aug 12, 20:22
For that money, they should have gone full Avatard rather than film in the generic Southwest. {nm} Aug 12, 19:37
They put faith in Stanton's filmmaking talents, I guess. This could make or break his live action career. {nm} Aug 12, 19:43
What is AIWL? {nm} Aug 12, 21:09
alice in wonderland, i'm assuming {nm} Aug 12, 21:53
I wonder what the real reason is. $50M is hardly a credible reason; perhaps the movie-related toys were testing poorly. {nm} Aug 12, 19:42
The real reason is CBALN's poor performance. {nm} Aug 12, 19:43
Ding! {nm} Aug 12, 19:47
Seems odd for just one mediocre performance from a quasi-western to scare them off a Depp vehicle. {nm} Aug 12, 19:54
Two when you count RANGO, also JDEPP-GVERB. {nm} Aug 12, 19:57
Three when you add JOHEX. {nm} Aug 12, 20:36
I wouldn't - JOHEX more like CBALN. Id expect a True Grit meets Pirates from LONER {nm} Aug 12, 20:40
There is a vast difference between a 40 something JDEPP and a 65 something HFORD in terms of bank. And GVERB vs. JFAVR. Aug 12, 20:21
It's the genre. What can JDEPP pull outside the special-effects filled fantasy genre? Aug 12, 20:26
I think PIRT1 is a pure Depp-vehicle in which the story (such as it was) and everything else was immaterial. ALICE and Wonka the same... Aug 12, 20:33
Depp played weird quirky characters in all three movies. In LONER, he'd be playing Tonto. {nm} Aug 12, 20:59
sounds like disney wants to focus on pirates 5...you cant argue against a billion dollar franchise {nm} Aug 12, 19:44
I'd be curious to know how Stanton did on budget for his Pixar films (or if that was even a concern for him and Pixar). Aug 12, 19:53
Finding Nemo's was $94 million; WALL-E's was almost double that, though still cheaper than TS3 and Cars 2. {nm} Aug 12, 19:55
Those are considerable budgets for animation {nm} Aug 12, 20:00
Why do these run so high? Aug 12, 20:19
whoops, meant to post this on the armie hammer comment {nm} Aug 12, 19:52
yeah, he has star written all over him, but he needs to find the right role soon {nm} Aug 12, 20:25
ughh...missed this by 8 minutes. worse day I have had in a long time. oh well. just means they are focusing on PIRT5. {nm} Aug 12, 19:58
*worst {nm} Aug 12, 19:59
Go to a movie, relax, come back to find my fund has imploded! 1.20 loss :( {nm} Aug 12, 19:59
"Gentlemen! You can't go to movies! This is the War Room!" {nm} Aug 12, 20:23
I see it has gone the way of the Dow Jones? {nm} Aug 12, 21:03
