I'm okay with all these billionaires trying to make eternal youth serums if we can inject Spielberg and Scorsese with it stat.

#StevenSpielberg turns *80* this year?? He DOES?! (My first ever script pitch sale was to Steven Spielberg, who said yes in a limo on the way to the Oscars. Changed my life!)

@ThomasonTown For me it was just too much. Like, just a silly amount of blood. I think I'll stick with the non gore mode when it comes out

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

@SamWritesMovies Congrats!

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘BACKROOMS 2’ is in the early works.

Kane Parsons is currently looking for a screenwriting collaborator to work on the sequel.

Why is it completely normal now for Twitter to just completely spoil shows/movies?

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

@LukeBarnett Oh my god that's amazing!

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

@CindyBegel I started making YouTube vids in high school thinking I could use it to break into the film industry, so cool to see Parsons actually pull it off!

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

Hope Curry Barker has all sorts of back-end residuals on this

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘OBSESSION’ is expected to pass $80M worldwide by tomorrow.

Over 100X its production budget of $750K.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

I know branding like this doesn't really add much to the movie itself but dear lord I'm such a sucker for this sort of thing.

When Part III is Yellow and we all lose our minds

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

IMAX is exploring a sale.

They have approached entertainment companies as potential buyers.

I think it's also worth noting that these projects all got funding from major studios with the exception of Mark who is a millionaire.

Chris raised a million and got a little bit of post funding from NEON. It's not surprising his indie movie was a little rough around the edges.

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

I’m sure Stuckmann is a lovely guy, but it’s very telling that the least successful of these came from a guy whose videos were largely him speaking direct to camera at the same angle in the same location on a regular basis.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

At this point I feel like all the female stars of Hollywood need to band together and make their own mega studio to make their own female led projects.

[Variety @Variety]

Kristen Stewart wants to direct another movie by the end of the year "and put it on f---ing YouTube."

"Whatever money we make from that will be what I spend on my next one and there will be a trickle-down effect. I just don’t want to talk to these bros anymore ... I love Hollywood, I love big movies, [but] I don’t think I’d be very good at making them. I want to make weird s---. And I’m fully OK doing that in a kind of insulated, bizarre way. But I don’t want to do the thing where I wait five years for someone to give me $1 million to make something. I’m going to make it f---ing tomorrow." https://t.co/WHK5J1jGVF

Honestly combining Hush and Two Face into the same character makes a lot of sense.

[Matt Murdock @ZeroYear97]

Hush could be portrayed as the first persona unbeknownst to Harvey following his traumatic disfigurement and then Two-Face later in the film.

Influenced by Arkham Shadows where Harvey started as the “Rat King” before Two-Face.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

Finished Born Again and Punisher: One Last Kill, and it will forever be a mystery to me why @DeborahAnnWoll isn't in literally everything. She's just too good.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

Obsession is going to take most of the movie hype this weekend, so let me say that In the Gray kinda rips.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

@JLisaJay Uggghhh. Hollywood needs to give you some first look deals.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

Hello, I (a person on the planet) personally think she might just be the most beautiful woman in the entire world.

Also, anyone who thinks The Odyssey is being woke by including a lot of ethnic diversity hasn't opened a history book.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Not one person on the planet actually thinks that Lupita Nyong’o is “the most beautiful woman in the world.” But Christopher Nolan knows that he would be called racist if he gave “the most beautiful woman” role to a white woman. Nolan is technically talented but a coward. Too afraid to do anything that even slightly challenges the spirit of the age.

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

Season 2 was a HUGE step up from season 1 and is thoroughly enjoyable.

[Rotimi Adeoye @_rotimia]

I’m tired of the haters. This is a good show!

[Ben Johnson @BenJohnsonFilms]

I'm confused as to how this property was too unpopular to produce one more season of TV, but is popular enough to make a new movie?

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A ‘WESTWORLD’ movie is in the works at Warner Bros.

David Koepp is writing the script and a major mystery filmmaker is eyeing to direct.
