News Deadline-- Simon Kinberg signs deal for new trilogy-
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Depending on when these alleged movies take place, the difference could be a matter of mere semantics.
I literally slept through X-Men: Apocalypse. X-Men: The Last Stand was the opposite of a great film, and X-Men: First Class was a steaming pile. I think that expresses my enthusiasm for these projects well enough.
Simon Kinberg was one of the producers on X-Men: First Class, but I don't think you can blame him for that one, as it was written and directed by other people. Also First Class was one of the good movies! I thought everyone liked First Class.
Yes, being a producer means he gets no blame whatsoever for how the film turned out. Riiight.
Countdown to him moving on from the project...T-minus three years...
Who does he think he is? Matthew Vaughn?
He was a producer, along with Gregory Goodman, Lauren Shuler Donner and Bryan Singer. I don't know how much of a role he played in getting the film made, maybe he did make most of the creative decisions that you don't like, but looking at the credits and skimming the Wikipedia page he seems fairly innocent.
Irrelevant. This was third on my list of points, by definition tertiary, the total falsity of which, should that somehow be, would alter the overall point not at all. Either way, it moves the needle of my enthusiasm not one whit.
And while we're mired inside this ridiculously unimportant sidebar, let's be clear: compared to X2, First Class was decidedly less successful. When it comes to Star Wars, we're looking for a degree of success way above the level of X2 or for that matter Apocalypse.
Honestly, I'd like to see what Spielberg can do with it.
Are we assuming Kennedy herself has decided? Maybe she wants him to do outlines for both, and she'll decide what she wants later.
Heh.
BTW, how many times can Kennedy fail and yet keep her job?! What does she think she is, the Republican nominee for president, or something?

Kneel when you make light of your Master so he knows you're saying it with love!
That's the best new of all regarding this new trilogy.
I really liked First Class. Definitely a hit on Kinberg's hit/miss list.
I disagree 100%
^ C'mon, hombre, you can't leave out X2! I mean, I kinda see how you can, but Eric's swerve in that movie to attempting to genocide all of humanity is so shocking and perfect all at once. It shows just how evil he has the potential to go, which is crucial to appreciating his origin and friendship with Charles. (Is it plausible the X-team could ever trust him to any degree again, even in the DoFP future? Hard to say, but maybe that genocide attempt didn't exactly happen in that timeline, who knows.)
So the guy who always fails upwards has now failed into a Star Wars trilogy. He was the worst thing to happen to the X-Men films at FOX, he's literally only been involved with writing one good film (DoFP, and there were two other writers on that film) and his only SW work is writing or co-writing 5 episodes of Rebels, an extremely crappy cartoon (although technically not the worst SW cartoon because Bad Batch and Resistance exist).
I know most of these announced trilogies actually never happen, so hopefully the same thing is here, but I'd rather see Abrams shit out another Episode IX level film then have to suffer through something made by the writer/director of X-Men Dark Phoenix.

He also made Thor 3We still have a Star Wars movie by the maker of Thor 4 to look forward to.
Nope. An extremely great cartoon.
I think we've finally found the person who gave Rebels 1 star on IMDb.
I don't rate stuff on imdb, but I wouldn't give it a 1 regardless. If I had to rank them Rebels would probably be a 3 out of 10 at the start and a 4 by the end, The Bad Batch would be a 2 and Resistance would be a 1. There are probably 2-3 Rebels episodes that I would willingly rewatch (although I can't name any specifics off the top of my head).
The other two shows had basically no redeeming features, the Bad Batch only gets a point over Resistance because the actual Bad Batch clone characters were fine in TCW, only getting bad when they became co-stars to a shitty little kid in their own show.
We still have a Star Wars movie by the maker of Thor 4 to look forward to.
It sounds like you've seen Rebels all the way through, so considering I gave up on Resistance after one episode I can't really say you didn't give them a fair chance. But I'm assuming you dislike the concept of the Bad Batch looking after a kid more than the specific kid herself, as Omega is one of the least obnoxious naive super-capable child heroes I can think of.
This isn't entirely relevant to the topic, seeing as Simon Kinberg didn't write for Bad Batch, but I had to jump to her defence.

IF, and that's a big IF, this is a Skywalker saga trilogy, my interest is already a lot less.
The Skywalker saga has been told and should be done. I'm mildly interested in the new Rey movie, but that's it.
It's amazing that for god knows how long fans have been asking for an Old Republic setting, and Disney just keeps going back to the same few decades of in-universe setting, with the exception of The Acolyte. And personally, that was what interested me the most about that show.
