I find her much more attractive than usually the main actress she is best friend to

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Is it weird i found her extremely attractive in "What Women Want" ? lol

BTW, Judy is not only an underrated actress, but she's an underrated beauty.

Oh, fo sho.

So... who else wants them to recreate the ending of Beneath, with Gary Oldman going crazy and annihilating us all?

In fact, Gary Oldman detonating a world destroying nuke would be the best possible way for the world to really end!

I hope the director of the first film explains where he wanted to take the story after Dawn comes out.

It will probably never happen though.

I just have a bad feeling Fox switched directors for all the wrong creative reasons.

^well former screenwriter talked a bit about his take

Speaking with The Playlist while promoting his new movie, Side Effects, screenwriter Scott Z. Burns talks about his script for 20th Century Fox's upcoming sequel Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Rupert Wyatt, who previously helmed Rise and was attached to the sequel until more recently, previously stated that he was toying with the idea of having Dawn be influenced by Full Metal Jacket, and Burns confirmed that this was being planned. "Yeah it had a bit of that. It also, it really explored the notion of peaceful coexistence and compromise versus extremism and conflict and that kind of inherent issue and how you get along with the other."

However, with a new writer hired shortly after Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) signed on to direct, we'll probably see some alterations to the initial storyline. "I had a great time working on Apes," said Burns. "I love science fiction and I think that it's, in contrast to [Side Effects], an awesome opportunity to do social commentary in a really fun way. Rupert Wyatt and I worked on a script that I loved and I had a great time doing that. Then Rupert and the studio parted ways and, as sometimes happens, when the director leaves the studio through the front door, the writer is frequently thrown out the second story window,. When they brought in a new director, they brought in a new writer. So I don't know how much of what they did they will still be using, because what we did was really fun and I was really happy with the work we were doing."

Thanks for the info.

I like the peace versus conflict idea. It's the obvious yet important direction to take the franchise.

I hope they don't stray too far from it unless they're going to explore a more suitable and relevant theme which is hard to imagine.

I'd think Fox was screwing up if they didn't go and hire a great director and they have a really solid cast. Plus Fox isn't what they use to be. They're much more quality now

 

[Ajendo]

No; they're really not.

 

[Project862006]

No; they're really not.

yeah they are fox has been on a role lately

rise of apes,first class,life of pi,dofp,wolverine,etc.

 

[redhawk23]

yeah they are fox ha sbeen on a role lately

rise of apes,first class,life of pi,dofp,wolverine,etc.

Not a single guarantee of quality there.

 

[Project862006]

going by directors i think so

 

[jacobed]

I'd say directors. The material they're going with. It just seems like now they have more confidence for allowing the filmmakers to make the movie they want to make

 

[Project862006]

exactly fox of the past got mediocre directors just look at dragonball,max payne,hitman,street fighter:legend of chun li,babylon a.d

all of them had either been mediocre directors or novice directors out of their depths that fox could push around

now we are getting ang lee,james mangold,matthew vaughn,matt reeves,bryan singer returning,josh trank

 

[jacobed]

They also don't micromanage. They actually let the filmmakers do their job and make a movie.

 

[Octoberist]

Well they don't micromanage....now, which is great.

Josh Trank has exactly 1 film under his belt and nothing from Singer in the past 8 years inspires any confidence to be quite honest.

There's also Fox's increasing demands for shorter production and post production times, a symptom of all of hollywood, but seems to be a pattern with this studio in particular.

Apes and First Class came out mostly okay, but there's only so far such things can be pushed. Note also the high profile departures of directors from sequels to those projects.

And then there's the matter of Fox demanding Chronicle 2 basically be a rehash and rejecting Landis' scripts for it.

Rothman may be gone, and I enjoyed their tentpole films from 2011, but I'm not sure Fox has entirely turned over a new leaf.

They haven't. Just look at DH5. Still, they're not what they used to be.

no studio has every film be great just not realistic lol

look at disney with cars 2,john carter,majority of the pirates films,prince of persia,

WB has green lantern,superman returns,jonah hex,wrath of the titans,red riding hood

just dont know why fans act like fox is the only studio to put out mediocre films

 

[Gianakin_]

Oh, I'm not disagreeing. And I don't think anyone's implied that FOX is suddenly a sweetheart of a studio.

true but Fox was at its worst during their 2006-2010 era excluding their saving grace Fox Searchlight. 20yh Century Fox had a bad streak whereas other studios' were more spread across the board.

 

[Ultimatehero]

This is why I used to absolutely TERRIFIED of having to work with Fox... I'm primarily at a different company now... but as a Star Wars fan growing up -- what Fox was for a while -- just really made me sad. Because as a kid - I'd of loved to work with Fox and its logo attached to something I wrote. Then it became my nightmare company or the company where a script would be sent to and they'd rape it ('Daredevil' horror story - they basically destroyed MSJ's confidence in my book. He knew what he was doing with DD. They came in. He bent over and carried that with him to Ghost Rider. Critics complained about "no story" -- well, Fox deleted the story, moved pieces are like nonsense and added a sex scene... what nightmare suits are made of. What they put him through would have broken anyone.), I'm glad to say with that Fox gone and new Fox here my dream is still alive and well thanks to new Fox. t:

Apes was one of the best movies of that year and First Class came out and wowed a lot of people being the best of the X-Men films. Chronicle 2 situation was nothing but a rumor, I believe said by John Landis.
