My God,Kinberg is ready for 355 movie

He can be ready for whatever he wants, he's probably contractually and/or professionally obliged for that at this point.

 

[psylockolussus]

Good luck to the cast and crew of that film.

 

[Filmfreak]

Well thankfully he's not writing the movie this time.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well thankfully its not based in a Marvel Comics property or part of an established franchise. i won't be seeing it unless the trailer looks really cool.

 

[SumT]

Is this the Kinberg Official Thread now?

355 Movie, War Of The Worlds Series For Apple, Simon Kinberg Exits Fox – Deadline

Kinberg exist Fox/Disney. Not surprised.

 

[JP]

Praise the lord.

Any other writer and/or director whose movie bombed spectacularly and was eviscerated by critics like this, their exit would've been a foregone conclusion and announced a month ago.

Simon Kinberg is special. He gets Deadline puff pieces where his firing ("exit") is buried and is described as "coincidental."

Sources said that Kinberg could have, but decided not to make another deal with a major studio. Instead, he aligned with private backing — his camp wouldn’t be specific about the new backer — that sources said gives him ample overhead and more freedom because he is able to spread the projects he writes, produces and directs across town.

That's nice. lol

Even though the exit comes on the heels of disappointing returns on the X-Men First Class film Dark Phoenix, the timing is coincidental. Kinberg had planned this exit for at least half a year, as Disney was making plans to take it over, with the X-Men franchise steered by Marvel impresario Kevin Feige...

....Kinberg closes up shop with an enviable Fox run: the 17 films he wrote, directed or produced generated nearly $7 billion in global box office, with a recent streak of having his name on Fox’s top grossing film of the calendar year five years in a row. He had been a creative backbone for some of the studio’s big scale pictures.

 

[Iceman]

The entire 17 film run made less than the 4 Avengers films even though when X1 was being planned in the late 90s, X-Men were so much bigger than Avengers.

a testament to the evolution of filmmaking
first Marvel comic movie to do gangbusters (2nd highest grossing of all time behind Titanic)
and that was in the 90s...MiB

So? You want him to write and direct your favourite IP go right ahead.

just providing that full context of this puff piece

Seriously, how the hell does this man achieve this special treatment?? Does he pay to these sites or journalists?

What kind of dirty job does he use to do to get chances after chances without being fired? Its really crazy how this industry works

He, somehow, damaged f4 IP for good, and he did the same with the two latest xmen movies, leaving the IP in the ground too.
The fact that absolutely NONE from Fox execs ever realized he is the common factor is beyond my comprenssion

Oivia Munn angry with Singer and Kinberg.

Oivia Munn angry with Singer and Kinberg.

Even when she was all smiles during the XMA press tour you could tell she wasn't very happy and was just contractually obligated to be nice.

 

[henzINNIT]

I wish the myth that Kinberg knew or cared about X-Men would die. I'm a little more forgiving of Singer because he could make a good movie. Kinberg on the other hand has two swings at the same story and missed the point both times, yet he's routinely treated by press as a font of X-Men knowledge.

 

[Lip]

Another reason to celebrate the X-Men being free from them.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Oivia Munn angry with Singer and Kinberg.

Not that much of a surprise. Everyone knows these characters are pretty much names in a catalog for them.

 

[martinp1]

hearing 8/27 digital release and blu-ray 9-17 not sure if its directors cut

I couldn't roll my eyes more everytime I hear someone from YouTube (like Collider) say that Kinberg really cares about the X-Men. Kinberg is clueless.

355 Movie, War Of The Worlds Series For Apple, Simon Kinberg Exits Fox – Deadline

Kinberg exist Fox/Disney. Not surprised.

*Pretends to be shocked*

I guess a Star Wars film by Kinberg was too good to be true.
