Saw X
Now that is a leading indicator of a recession if I’ve ever seen one. Wow.
Next thing you know they will stop making new Spiderman movies
If necessary, Sony's going to start doing small budget artistic Spider-Man films just to keep the rights of it.
There have been TEN Saw movies? Damn.
Nine, they skipped Saw 9 because it could cause bugs and other errors.
slow clap
NOOOOO!!! 😭😭😭😭
Let's start of list of great authors/projects that have never had a single movie.
I'll start. Poul Anderson. He created Dominic Flandry, a smooth, cynical playboy diplomat who, as an Agent of the Terran Empire, fights to keep the decadent Emperor in power for a few more years. Another great character is Nicolas van Rijn. Imagine if Harry Mudd was a little fatter and a whole lot smarter. He's head of a galactic trading company who outwits various aliens and humans in the name of sweet cash money. Anderson also created dozens of alien races and imagined the worlds they lived on.
Pratchett's Discworld deserves the Marvel treatment. If I had a few billion, I'd be all in.
Reading selected novels for the 3rd pass. I get that much wouldn't translate to screen, but plenty enough would. We have an abundance of genius in Hollywood to pull this off. Take LOTR and Harry Potter for fantasy examples.
Have you tried China Mieville yet?
'UnLunDun' is set in a mirror universe where the plucky sidekick finds herself the unhappy heroine of the story.
'The Scar' is pretty dark, set in a future where magic and technology collide.
Perdido Street Station is probably my favourite book ever, and would make an insane film if done right.
Either book would need to be a series. Too many details for a short form.
One of my favorite little touches in Perdido is that there's a tavern called "The Moon's Two Daughters." He casually mentions that the Moon has two smaller satellites orbiting it. No mention of when or how this happened. Then there's The Ribs...
I don't know if I need Mudd++ to be honest. I found him to be hardly bearable, in every representation.
"Trader To the Stars."
Three stories where van Rijn shows his stuff. Like I said, he's much smarter than Mudd, and a lot more fun.
I know, but my main issue with Mudd is, that he behaves like an idiot while everyone agrees he's a genus. Because he's written by a human.
van Rijn wears flashy clothes and loves to eat, but he's almost always the smartest guy in the room.
