This is such an incredible honor, privilege and, most importantly, an enormous responsibility. The best is yet to come!

@RoyPrice 100% - what remains to be seen is whether the quality of the movies will raise to the level of new Hollywood

[Moises Amsel @AmselBen]

@benfritz @johnjurg This is great news, but the focus should be on how audiences are craving original stories. Otherwise, this narrative will take hold of the studios and all that will be made for the next 30 years are YouTube-born movies.

@Lucas_Shaw But theaters are obsolete

@RoyPrice The answer couldn't be more obvious; the former has led to a major decline that's left the industry on life support, the latter is proof that recovery is still possible.

It happens to be a project picked up by Mike De Luca while he was at MGM (before Amazon bought the studio.)

The first thing Amazon did after buying MGM was let go Mike De Luca.

A decade after it got into the movie business, Amazon has its first major box-office hit https://t.co/jiDFuBZ965

Whoever wrote this shouldn’t be allowed to write anything else ever again.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

This. Wow.

At the 1978 Oscars, Vanessa Redgrave used her acceptance speech to attack Jews using the term "Zionist hoodlums”.

Just after, Paddy Chayefsky, WWII veteran, takes the stage after winning an Oscar for “Network”

Listen to what he has to say..

@Variety He forgot to add “even though you’re all about to lose your jobs while making me very rich. Psych”

@RoyPrice The fact that one of the first things Amazon did upon taking over MGM was let go Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy explains everything.

I had the honor of working hand in hand with Terry on feature development. He’s a brilliant, kind, grounded, and visionary craftsman who has built an incredible legacy.
May he continue to inspire creatives for generations to come.

@RoyPrice I’d buy AMC or another struggling theater chain, keep Paramount focused on producing blockbusters, Warners on mid budget and prestige. Give all releases strict theatrical windows and first exhibition exclusive in the studios’ theaters.

@darylandfilms 2016? You guys need to watch more movies

[Moises Amsel @AmselBen]

@BrianEntin Seems like they’re going all out to find any evidence of her whereabouts before the deadline. Meaning, they haven’t received proof of life and the ransom payment would be a blind last resource.

[Moises Amsel @AmselBen]

@BrianEntin She took an Uber to the family dinner, then the garage door opened and closed when she was dropped off. 🤔

Also, the blood splatters on the floor were outside the front door, not the garage.

[Moises Amsel @AmselBen]

@Dytig Thank you!

@AleksPhoenix I agree. The entire third act, on which the story hinges, is a significant miss.

You’re describing the group think phenomenon, a defining trait in our times. Kudos for calling it out
