[Primal Slayer]

Isnt this going to be a show instead of a movie?

 

[terry78]

Yeah you're right, my bad.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Boring.

Both are extremely talented. This is going to be so much better + innovative than the original for sure.

 

[Kev4000]

I wish it would be a movie to be honest, I hope it dont have so many lows. But the leading cast is perfect, I wonder how there chemnistry will be

 

[Pennywise]

Very much looking forward to it! Love them both!

 

[BlackFox]

Down for this. Glover is one talented dude, love most things he does.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Love them both and I liked the original movie back in the day. LOL, I didn’t even realize they tried making this into a TV show once before.

 

[NotNickFury]

So should we expect Atlanta Season 3 by 2064, then? Unless it's actually coming this year.

Down for this. Glover is one talented dude, love most things he does.

Same with Waller-Bridge. That is a dynamic duo that can make this work.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge Exits Amazon’s ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Series – The Hollywood Reporter

Amazon’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith is in the market for a new leading lady.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has exited the straight-to-series adaptation of the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie 2005 New Regency film. Sources say that the Fleabag Emmy winner had a different creative vision for the series than Donald Glover, with whom she was poised to star alongside.

Glover, who came up with the idea and brought it to his friend and Solo: A Star Wars Story co-star, remains attached as co-creator, exec producer and star. Francesca Sloane, a collaborator with Glover on FX’s Atlanta, remains co-creator, showrunner and exec producer on the series via her overall deal with Amazon. New Regency’s Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer also exec produce.

Sources say Waller-Bridge and Glover remain friends following what was described as an amicable split. Waller-Bridge’s role will now be recast as the series remains on track for a 2022 debut. Writing on the series is currently under way, with production expected to also begin next year.

The news comes seven months after the teaming of the two Emmy winners for the update of the action-thriller created a frenzy on social media.

Aw, man!

I think the trailer is already accurate in not trying to be like the original movie. What works is the two leads may not be conventionally two of the hottest people to ever appear on screen, they still look convincing as capable agents that are regular looking people. It's almost immediately relatable, but we'll see.

Watched the 1st 2 episodes and really like what I've seen so far think my only complaint is I wish it wasn't episodic, hoping they build to something and I do think Amazon are making a mistake dropping all the episodes at once (8)


Also probably should also edit the thread title since Phoebe Waller-Bridge is no longer in it

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Wow this was a great little surprise IMO. I went into this with pretty low expectations since the majority of these tv/movie adaptations have been pretty crappy, but I actually ended up really enjoying this.

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine have pretty fantastic chemistry throughout and honestly the more dramatic/serious scenes impressed me way more than any of the action stuff in this.

Awesome supporting cast too.

 

[blue scholar]

Just finished episode 3. I'm liking this show more and more.

I wonder how everything ties up with the opening of the show though
