@keslovar@CultureCrave Imagine if the funds were used to create a creative environment that showcases the love, imagination & artistry involved in movie making from ideas & artwork to model making & special effects etc that could inspire others to want to create something new, original & iconic.
Simon Kinberg’s upcoming STAR WARS trilogy is “reportedly intended to function as Episodes 10 -12 of the ongoing Skywalker saga.”

@corellianlegend No – I'd already watched the same movie – with the same plot, characters, ships & weapons – 35yrs prior.
Think it was called something like #StarWars...
@screenrant If you're making a movie version of one of the oldest surviving works of classic literature then it needs to be treated with respect.
If you're making a movie based on Homer's epic and giving it the Marvel treatment then call it something else.. as that's what it is (& will be).
@MementoMori_Act@TheCinesthetic Ancient Greeks and Ethiopians lived, worked & traded with each other.
In Ancient Greek mythology & literature they were idealised, Homer referred to them as the god's 'favourite people' with Andromeda being the mythological princess of Ethiopia.
Bit more than 'known to them'.
@fandompulse Why is building a 'seaworthy ship' and spending $250 million justification for the movie?
People didn't say similar when Kevin Costner made Waterworld (1995)!

Christopher Nolan, responding in Time magazine this week to the avalanche of criticism over his Odyssey casting choices:
"Hopefully they'll enjoy the film, even if they don't agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don't want people to think that you took it on frivolously."
He built a real seaworthy ship, shot entirely on 70mm IMAX, and spent $250 million. Is Nolan being dismissed too quickly, or did his casting choices earn the backlash?
@StarWarsDaily_ "Just watched this movie about a boy living on a desert planet who finds a droid containing secret intel about an evil empire. He meets a couple of smugglers and goes off on an adventure to find he has special powers of an ancient order."
"Sounds like something I'd like to do!"
