I bet they are looking for directors who are primarily known for TV work if they are going with the MCU approach (high republic era series of films).
Which totally bums me out.

Nothing went down. He had a smooth shoot and Kennedy liked working with him. Just a case of them blowing their load too quick and announcing it before TLJ was even out. They got the receipts in and response from TLJ, shelved it and been letting it just die quietly. Between them saying they are done with trilogies, TROS, and zero news since announcement. Writing has been on the wall for a while.Seems like whatever went down between Rian and Disney/SW is similar to the Affleck/Batman situation where both parties mutually agree to part ways
My time is precious
People who loved TLJ want him to make more Star Wars movies. It's that simple.I just lurk these threads mostly but y'all's obsession with Rian Johnson is weird.
Fwiw I'd ather him do more original stuff than Star Wars, but that's the same with any talented artist working on a Disney property.
Oh yeah, definitely didn't mean to imply there's any bad blood between Rian and Disney. For whatever reason though, I don't think that trilogy is moving forward.Nothing went down.

Gunn isn't a great comparison either. They had to publicly make a statement with that because of the content. Gunn needed to be "punished" for the kid friendly Disney to save face. Heat passes, he "learned" his lesson. Gunn had the support of the cast and crew behind him also, alongside GOTG exceeding expectations.
That'd be fine too.
That would be the best move.The correct call is giving Rian one movie and seeing how it goes. Then you make the call from there.
Enough of this trilogy bullshit.
HR already said the 2022 won't be the Rian Johnson project. The director is supposed to be announced this month.Word also is that Rian wants to shoot the Knives Out sequel quick, like within this year, as if he had another movie to get to after that. Maybe one that releases in 2022.... 🤔
That was supposed to be the D&D trilogy, but that's not happening anymore. Neither are any more trilogies for that matter.HR already said the 2022 won't be the Rian Johnson project. The director is supposed to be announced this month.

I would've been surprised before that.I'd be surprised if any other big studio worked with Snyder after how he's handled this Snyder Cut nonsense with WB
I saw the videos on Twitter, long story short: Spoilers:A group of Reylo fans paid $48 each for a private screening (To do whatever) They were cheering when the relevant moment for those fans happened (the kiss), afterward they gasped given what happens next, and at the end, they were basically booing and the like because of the ship they represent :v
All of thisPeople who loved TLJ want him to make more Star Wars movies. It's that simple.
A secondary reason I suppose would be a counterreaction to the toxic SW fans who harass the shit out of Johnson on social media and hoped Knives Out would fail because how dare he make Luke anything but perfect, doesn't he know that once you acquire the Self-Control Skill as an adult (usually at age 45 but can be sooner if you grind harder) you never make any mistakes ever again???
He's been such a big target for the ugliest elements of the SW fan base that it's nice to see him score a win.
I would be excited apart from MCU stans shitting on his trilogy. 3 I will happily admit is a mess but the seething hatred for 1 and 2 feels like it came out of nowhere.
It would be funnier if he did Doctor Strange then.I would be excited apart from MCU stans shitting on his trilogy. 3 I will happily admit is a mess but the seething hatred for 1 and 2 feels like it came out of nowhere.
Eh, he stepped down from JL without a fight. I don't see him ever getting a big project again either, but I doubt he has stepped on anyone's toes.I'd be surprised if any other big studio worked with Snyder after how he's handled this Snyder Cut nonsense with WB
Palpatine as a put upon CEo of an incompetent company was a good takeDisney bought Lucasfilm after many years of "childhood-ruining" controversy and rhetoric. They then allowed a non-canon Lego animated show to be produced, one where Palpatine was the standout funny-man character.
So basically, anything is possible.
I bet WB isn't happy with him basically radicalizing a fanbase against them.Eh, he stepped down from JL without a fight. I don't see him ever getting a big project again either, but I doubt he has stepped on anyone's toes.
The Snyder Cut stuff is absolutely stepping on toes.Eh, he stepped down from JL without a fight. I don't see him ever getting a big project again either, but I doubt he has stepped on anyone's toes.
And it is crazy messy
He won't get a job from WB again, that's for sure. I think even Netflix would had have second thoughts about funding another big Snyder movie.Eh, he stepped down from JL without a fight. I don't see him ever getting a big project again either, but I doubt he has stepped on anyone's toes.
There isn't really one?Like I don't know where the backlash to the Raimi Spiderman trilogy came from.

I feel like there has been. People shitting on Toby McGuire as Peter Parker or on the movies being cheesy.
When something is highly anticipated, if it doesn't live up to expectations, there will be a lot of hyperbole thrown around.People REALLY hated Spider-Man 3 on a level that is baffling. Like, it's not amazing, but people talk about it as though it's the worst thing they've ever seen.
My impression is that Spiderman 2 stands on its own as the best representation of Marvel critically, and that's an inconvenient truth that needs to be shut down for them.I would be excited apart from MCU stans shitting on his trilogy. 3 I will happily admit is a mess but the seething hatred for 1 and 2 feels like it came out of nowhere.
Ah, sure. That's a pretty common criticism, I agree. But Spider-Man 2 is still widely hailed as one of the best comic book movies. I haven't really seen any major backlash. I'm pretty sure it'd still come out on top in a poll between all the Spidey movies, here on Era.I feel like there has been.

Like with TROS
Maybe I am just a 28 year old boomer but nothing in the MCU or really anything in the genre touches the artistry or pathos of the first two Raimi Spiderman films. And Toby is absolutely fantastic in those movies.
Yes including the Nolan Batman movies (Begins is the best one of that trilogy)
I for one personally hold The Dark Knight responsible for every tentpole superhero movie being like eight fucking hours long.Maybe I am just a 28 year old boomer but nothing in the MCU or really anything in the genre touches the artistry or pathos of the first two Raimi Spiderman films. And Toby is absolutely fantastic in those movies.

Toby acted the hell out of those scenes where he needed show emotion or cry. Sadly this became a target for screencapped frames for memes because he didn't do what other leads in super hero movies do and not show too much emotion.I... can't really think of a counter argument on those terms. I do think this is due to the high quality of those first two films and not the low quality of the newer crop. With the interconnected universes I think it's hard to do character arcs like those two Spidey films had, because they (at least I remember, it's been awhile) were not afraid to make Peter absolutely miserable before anything even kind of got better.

Also The Prestige is Nolan's best film by a goddamn mile

Again The Prestige does not have Nolan's weird conservative politics.Even setting aside MCU, Spider-Verse I think trounces anything Raimi put out. And I'm also a 28 year old boomer. TDK is more entertaining and involved as well I would argue but is borderline fash-apologia so I'm not gonna lament anybody for disliking it.
