"Us", "Nope", "Him". Why do I get the feeling I'll be able to predict the names of Jordan Peele's next movies based on this pattern?

On serious note, it does look interesting.

Also continuing his trend of "movie titles as conversation." "Get out." "Us?" "Nope, him."

I am also pretty sure they may have ran out of ideas for live-action remakes of their classic movies. I am getting a gut intuition that they are moving on to PIXAR live-action remakes, if Moana is anything to go by

That first sentence is definitely not the case. If this is true, they are cancelling, among others, a Tangled remake, a Hercules remake, and a Sword in the Stone remake.

God, I can't imagine how awful any of them would've been, ESPECIALLY for The Black Cauldron. IIRC, wasn't it already edited because it had some horrific body disfigurement scenes? The live-action remake would've been dumbed down even further

I think I read somewhere that the Hercules remake is going to TikTok inspired. I'm not kidding.

Hollywood may never recreate the success of Barbie, but execs at Story Kitchen have landed on a bold new strategy: why not make a movie about the store that used to sell the Barbies? That’s gotta work, right? Either way, Toys ‘R’ Us is getting an original movie “in the vein of Night At The Museum, Back To The Future or Big, plus other successful toy-inspired narratives like Jumanji and Barbie,” per Variety. Considering the vast variety of toys (and that giant dinosaur that used to rule the Times Square flagship location), the producers may want to add Five Nights At Freddy’s to that description, but we’ll see how terrifying, intentionally or not, the movie is when it actually comes out.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners deal is reportedly freaking some studio executives out

It’s like this: Coogler, who was fresh off a very serious run of hits—including Creed and two Black Panthers—when he was shopping the Michael B. Jordan project around, had a number of requirements when he looked to hammer out a deal for Sinners with studios. Some of these were big asks, but not outside the realm of possibility for a guy currently riding a series of major box office wins: Final cut of the movie, and first-dollar gross. (That is, Coogler starts getting a portion of the film’s profits from the moment it opens in theaters, rather than having to wait for the studio to make back its money.) The really biggie, though, was one that more than one studio reportedly balked at: Coogler wanted ownership of the film to revert to him after 25 years.

This is unorthodox, to say the least; Hollywood studios derive a ton of their value from the vast libraries of films they own, so losing even one—and all its attendant potentials for licensing, sequels, redistribution, etc.—is usually pretty unthinkable. (It usually only happens when a director takes huge risks like self-financing a movie: Mel Gibson owns The Passion Of The Christ, for instance, while Richard Linklater has partial ownership of Boyhood. Quentin Tarantino, meanwhile, will get ownership of Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood back in a couple of decades, essentially as a continuation of old deals he used to have with Miramax from the days when the whole studio was basically resting on his back.) Coogler scoring a rights reversion on what’s only his fifth movie is an outlier—one that’s as much a reflection of how much Warner Bros. Pictures has been floundering in recent years as Coogler’s own rising star status.
