My second favorite film (thus far) of 2016 was 'Moonlight': an original film directed by/starring African Americans, featuring beautiful, touching performances with a wonderful tale to tell.
One thing though, in a related way, is upsetting me is that they're rebooting Shaft as a blaxploitation comedy. Since when Shaft, one of the first African-American heroes on screen to look up to, has been the subject of a comedy? Seriously? There's Black Dynamite for that. It's just that Hollywood has lost its sight regarding things.
It's been dead in the water for many years now, we were just discussing the prospect of this happening. However, given the amount of random sequels to older films we've gotten lately, I wouldn't be surprised if this did see the light of day.
i thought the actors were slightly less vital than they used to be. In terms of box office at least.
The whole point of these big franchises is that they keep on going regardless of casting.
Love is All You Need is good but haven't seen Some Kind of Beautiful.
A little bit cringe.
Thomas crown affair is a big franchise? what? oh and i disagree wholeheartedly. Movie legend like Tom cruise is the only reason whya movie like jack reacher 2 wasn't a total flop financially.
Guys like Pitt,leo, cruise or depp sells like crazy. Plus i have no interest of watching a movie with unknown kids like those new star wars sorry!
He wasn't referring to TCA as such, it was a general overview.
I agree with you about something like Jack Reacher. Cruise is the selling point.
But @Getafix is right about big franchise's existing regardless of actors in the main role. Any of the Marvel films, Star Trek and Star Wars. You personally may have no interest in Star Wars but it doesn't detract from the fact that the franchise is bigger than any single actor.
The same with Bond.
It's entertaining enough but not great. Closer to Taken in feel than Bourne imho.
