To be precise, Disney has AGREED to buy MOST OF Fox. But the deal won't be COMPLETED for 12 to 18 months.
It's also my understanding that there is a freeze on large transactions (like a global distribution deal for instance) taking place when a company is about to be acquired or merged, on account of the due diligence that takes place from announcement of deal to completion (or failure). I am referring now to A&T/Warner.
If the above is true (let me know if wrong), doesn't that mean Warner is off the cards for B25, and we are more likely in for Sony or Paramount, as Forbes reported?
The above is true. AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner (parent company of Warner Bros.) was announced last year. It hasn't closed and the Trump administration says it opposes it.
Whether that means B25 is off the table for Warner, we'll see. But it's definitely a complication at the very lease.
That's where it begins: deliver an incredible script, and the rest will fall into place much more easily. You shouldn't be wasting a cast like they did with SP, and that mostly falls down upon the script.
I just learned that in the tv series Gomorra beside the main roles almost every actor is a non-professional from the local area. Yet there is not one single weak performance throughout two seasons. I give them that because they grew up locally they all look very authentic, but still, it seems strange that a huge production like Bond lets its actors look so bad.
I quite agree. There's really no excuse for that given the time and budget they have to pull these films together. It all comes down to the script, direction and casting. Get that right, with the correct amount of tension, and everything should work out nicely.
What I also liked about the film is the way the fight scenes were filmed. For example the fight in the B&B when Chan climbs through the roof: looked very cool. I think this style of editing / filming would have suited QOS much better.
That's too bad @ClarkDevlin. I'm very disappointed in you. Just kidding ;) But I didn't feel the film was tired at all. Maybe when I've seen it more times my opinion will change a bit (I hope not).
The rats come for the coconut, and... [imitates metallic scuttering.] They fall into the drum, and after a month, you've trapped all the rats. But what did you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it. And they begin to get hungry, then one by one... [imitates rat munching sound.] They start eating each other, until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what - do you kill them? No. You take them, and release them into the trees. Only now, they don't eat coconut anymore. Now they will only eat rat. You have changed their nature.
