Tom Rothman leaving Fox

Well we all know what this means...

Spoiler

 

I guess this mean better Marvel movies.

 

>breaks out a bottle of champagne

Ding dong, the witch is dead.

 

I thought there would be a lot more fuss about this on here. Good riddance.

 

Meh. While he did do terrible during the mid to late 00s, he was doing a better job recently.

 

I believe that the vast majority of people around these parts will rejoice. People have been ready for this since X-Men: The Last Stand. With that said...



Hallelujah! Good riddance.

 

Sexy party? sexy party.

 

But that forced unto him.

 

Rothman's approach of micro-managing directors was ruining the studios relationship with filmmakers and hurting their reputation with directors. He managed to change his attitude over the last few years.


Tom Rothman did great with Fox Searchlight the studio-brand independent arms. They helped partly fund and distribute alot of Danny Boyles movie.

But then again he also did things like Dragonball Evolution and change the set of Wolverine behind director Gavin Hoods back.

Someone who worked with Rothman said

 

Eh.... the Rothman hate has gotten pretty old now. Maybe three years ago I would have been more excited but Fox has finally gotten their act together so it's nothing really exciting. I just think this excitement is left over hate from the 2005 - 2009 years.

 

Way back before 2005.

 

I love that he initially opposed the development of both Titanic and Avatar

 

Now to get rid of Avi Arad.

 

Fox hasn't been doing too bad as of late but Rothman must pay for his crimes.

 

Well it sounded like other people were responsible for the the last few years at Fox, like doing the Dreamworks Animation deal.

 

Appropriately I read this news while sitting on the toilet taking a poo!

 

And Jeph Loeb.

 

Which makes this news less exciting to me then.

Sooooo 2009.

 

Get out of here. Ain't nobody trying to hear that. He must answer for his sins.

 

My sentiments exactly.

I remember when the headlines read "Avi Arad no Longer Producer at Marvel Studios!" I think just about everyone shat their pants out of excitement... and then upon reading the article we found out he was now acting PRESIDENT. Kevin Feige is much better (aside from the whole Edward Norton crap that happened).

Hey now, he's written some of my favourite comics. (TV and Movies, not so much...)

 

And I want Jeff Robinov to go too.
