If the negotiations with Pine don't go well he may get it in 4...

Dark Crystal age of resistance on Netflix
Dynaman replied to Bolt's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Even though I'm not a big fan of The Dark Crystal (it was decent, worth a watch, nothing spectacular) I'm going to watch this when it comes on. Netflix has done some great stuff with less, Lost in Space comes to mind. -
As for the Agent screwing it up. Not in this instance, each actor knows this movie is on the table and can and will tell the agent what they are willing to take - blaming the agent is not applicable in this case. My guess it is a negotiation and Pine at lest will be in the movie. If not then the movie will go on without him. It would have been different if this were 30 years ago and it was Shatner refusing but Pine is just another guy playing Kirk at this point.
-
It will be interesting to see where the negotiations go with this. Although it is not actually said in the article I'm guessing Hemsworth is being offered more money and Pine thinks he should get equal or more pay since
-
New last point on that. Totally agree there, character interaction in the films has been top notch. The last film being the best of the lot - if only they had not totally messed up the villain and the main plot in that one.
-
AND forgot all about it except for a few kooks doing research on the Kelvin. So I'll stick with my point that the comic was unnecessary to understand the film. Sortof like know why it was 12 parsecs in another movie. And say no more.
-
Does the comic go into the far more important question of why the Federation does not go looking for the Narada after it blows away one of their ships? Indeed, they completely forget that some massive ship is out there. Since I'm willing to let that slide the rest of it also falls away to nothing too. It is a simple story of revenge with a few plot holes larger then the black hole Spock rides in on. (which also reminds me, Spock sees Vulcan explode from Light Years away, in less then a day)
-
As you point out even with the comics it is an idiot plot. The number one being the instant they went through the wormhole they should have left the ship they found alone and went back to Romulus. Once they didn't (or destroyed it right out) the plot about wanting revenge, ship heavily damaged, fought with Klingons, is all you need.
-
His ship was extensively damaged when rammed by the (whatever the name of the first ship was) and then he got in fights AND he knew Spock was not coming back till then. Any more explanation than that is not required, so much so that the footage that was shot to cover it was not considered to be needed.
-
I've never seen the comic book related to the 2009 movie and had no trouble with movie. The comic was an extra and not required in any way.
-
> One of the most overt recent examples was the 2009 Star Trek movie. That entire film was set up by a comic miniseries that explained the supernova event, That one at least doesn't count - the comic was written as an adjunct to the movie so the movie was not conforming to the comic, the comic was conforming to the movie.

Awesome, its on Amazon video on demand!

No need to have Picard travelling. Cabot Cove had the highest murder percentage in the world and that show was on for YEARS. This article says residents have a 2% murder rate, higher for visitors. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9490511/Murder-She-Wrote-location-named-as-murder-capital-of-world.html

Just remember - if not for the horribleness of Nemesis there might not have been an Into Darkness. Final Frontier and Voyager, have to agree there.
-
I see what you did there, putting "How bad can it be" and "Nemesis" in the same paragraph.
-
I'm still surprised they could afford him. Sadly if it is on all access I won't be seeing it.
-
I'm a fan of the old series. It got off to a rocky start but was good by the end.
-
I don't know but I'd be very surprised if they were different. From what I can remember even the spoken dialog in the first episode matched the original subtitles word for word.
-
I think it was sometime last year when they started the 2199 series. Couldn't have been much earlier.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Dynaman replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
> The whole show pits Basara who is anti-war against the military that is pro war and how through Basara's music he was able to stop the destruction. That is one of the big problems with the show. Max is most certainly not pro-war. They have to make things so extremely wacky for Basara's ideas to have merit that it goes off the rails of believability. The Hana-Barbera character style certainly doesn't help in that regard. -
Yup, that or the person had some EXTENSIVE surgery.

I liked the previous one more but this one was solid entertainment. Happy to have seen it in the theater.

The movie studio (or whoever owns the picture) certainly has rights to the character, which includes how that character looks. No actor is allowed to make money off of a character they play in a movie without the rights holder to that movie giving the go ahead. The character certainly includes the likeness - the fact there was an actor or actress does not change that fact. The only difference today (or soon) is that digital effects can make a much closer copy of the original actor's look. The screen actor's guild is claiming the opposite but since there is no precedent yet nobody knows, future contracts may be written in such a way that digital recreation rights are specified.

Agree on Tarkin looking the better of the two. Part of that may be that Hollywood has been much better at making young people look older then it has at making older people look younger, at least till the last couple years. The younger versions of Kurt Russel and Jeff Bridges looked better then Leia however, so perhaps just a goof. As for it being legal without the original actor's consent (or their estate), that is a grey area. Carrie Fisher's and Peter Cushing's estates have the right to their likeness but whoever owns Star Wars has the rights to Leia and Tarkin. In the past that meant they could use any actor they wanted to play the part and with makeup perhaps make them look very close to the original (Spock in Star Trek for instance) but the limits of the technology made an exact match nearly impossible. CGI is a different technology that will eventually allow recreating a character down to the last detail of the original actor - and there has been no case law to decide just where the line is drawn.

The articles I read EMPHATICALLY stated there would be no CGI for Leia and it would be all footage already shot. I'm guessing they will fudge on that a little bit but nothing like what was done in Rogue One. Perhaps the backgrounds will need CGI work and a "stunt double" will be used for long distance or shots where Leia's face is not visible. At any rate it appears they learned their lesson on CGI main characters, for now.
