Movie Thread

If we get one movie every 5 years, I think they can just make them forever. No worry of oversaturation and no worry of entries just being pushed out the door, at least while JC is still in charge.

Just hope the quality stays constant. 3, 4, and 5 sound great from what they've talked about but if every film is slightly worse than the previous, that's going to be a pretty lame end for the franchise.

Nice! All the rumors I had read expected Zootopia 2 to fill that slot. That's a great surprise.

What the heck does this mean for the live action movie though? Was that turned into this?

edt: nope. Guess there was a disney+ series in the works that instead became this.

Not sure if anyone is a big fan of Star Wars.

There are some fan projects that have been working on restoring the films of the original trilogy in 4K, before the various edits that were made in later launches.

They just finished 4K80, apparently it took several years to procure the film and to work through them for that one.

In recent weeks, watched Titan AE for the first time since I was a kid and Treasure Planet for the first time ever.

Both of them feel like good, but not great movies. I feel like they're both underappreciated to an extent.

Titan AE is a very unique movie I think. It has some issues. It starts off pretty good I think. I feel like there are a few parts of the story that just kind of happen without much justification. But overall good.

So I now have 3 Quentin Tarantino movies (Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds, and Pulp Fiction)

and 8 out of 12 of Christopher Nolan's movies. Missing his first 3 and Tenet. And I have 7 of them in 4K.

I was looking at the projects.  I think they captured the footage with an iphone?  Cause no one wanted to touch the film reels since they were supposed to be "Destroyed"

I haven't seen any reference to this?

I think it's in a video.   No telecine company would touch the films out of fear.  They even have clips of people working on the footage, I think it took like months of fixing each frame, just to amount to like, minutes of film.

There are some significant developments happening within the home video industry of late, developments that I've been spending a lot of time investigating and really digging into these past few weeks here at The Digital Bits.

And I can now confidently report that one of them is this:

Disney and Sony have just inked a major deal for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to take over all of Disney's physical media production going forward.

This means that Sony will handle and oversee the actual authoring and compression of discs, that they'll work with the replicators and packaging vendors, and that they'll oversee the titles as they go out to the distributors and on to retailers.

consolidation of a dying industry.   makes sense to me.
