RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[FilmNerdJamie]

Were it not for the Riddler in The Batman being a tad too similar for a launching title, I'd have said Toyman for the villain.

So pure guess... the Parasite, and yeah Poulter has the creep/unnerving factor for either baddie.

I'm less concerned about DC and more about the planned Potter fuckery.

[Jan]

Wait, what?
what's up with Potter? Revamping woke style?

[Timothy225]

Probably a reboot of the films or something. Kind of silly, really, as the original films are always in heavy rotation on TV, cable and streaming.

WB/Discovery screams they're trying to save money, but love burning it on stupid ideas that no one asked for.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Some nobody Twitter account is claiming WB is looking into rebooting... in 3-4 years from now. Maybe. It's very wishy-washy, Have Your Cake & Eat It Too logic.

Puck News already reported this as a possibility anyway like a month before these bozos. But it also specified that WB can't do shit without Rowling's legal blessing.

Not buying any of this happening. We're headed for a Force Awakens style revival with the three kids-now-thirtysomethings front and center and Rowling going away Lucas style. Thats the only path towards the billion dollar box-office again.

[Anderson]

Exactly. They want to use the old cast to help expand it past the reach of Rowling. That being said, the lady is getting paid unless they go straight American reboot or Gus Van Sant style remake.

Either way, something is getting announced...too much movement on that front already for Zaslav to leave it alone.

Rowling is being coy with how much or if she has signed off on shit. But, too much is already moving behind the scenes for her to not have cashed a check somewhere down the line.

  Spoiler: Quick updates while doing other shit 

It's looking incredibly unlikely that Austin Butler is going to be Superman now.

However, this guy seems to be blowing the fuck up in the running for the role.

Troy, any info on the Borderlands movie?

Stuck in Universal Hell. Curtis doesn't want any promo for it before the Oscars as to not fuck with her chances.

Eli Roth doesn't have final cut.

First cut of movie was 3 hours long and looked disjointed.

That's about the most recent details I have on it.

[Anderson]

Gran Turismo trailer just dropped. That movie shot super fucking fast.

[BillyG]

Seriously. They barely announced it. I figured it was a holiday 2024 movie.

DRONE SHOTS: THE MOTION PICTURE

[Abraham Smashington]

Why the fuck do we need this movie?

[Martin]

I dunno. Well Tetris is getting a movie, so…..

Meanwhile no one has the balls to make a Katamari Damacy movie.
