EPTThe old republic is rich ground for non jedi/sith character related stories. That being said you could do the 501st legion Band of brothers style and it would be great.

Books are rich and deep and movies cannot capture so many beloved intricacies in their short time frame. Anime is not going to become blockbuster fare. Edge of Tomorrow was one of the better movies released in the last ten years or so and it was based off a manga. It probably would have been even better had it followed the source material a little more closely. But Hollywood always has to Hollywood shit up in the last 30-15 minutes of a movie sadly. | ||

In any case, No Country for Old Men, Gone Girl and Edge of Tomorrow are examples of recent movies that are both good films and book adaptations. e: They're also different enough from each other that it's not really a genre specific thing either. | ||

The worst case the movie is shit but people learn about the novel and read that and enjoy it, best case the film is great and now you have two interpretations of the same story. | ||

"Argo" was quite good. It had almost nothing to do with what happened ... but it was entertaining. I think part of the reason the 1980 Lake Placid gold medal in ice hockey was so celebrated was due to how embarrassing it was to put up with the Iran hostage thing for 444 days. "Miracle" was reasonably close to reality. Interestingly, a few years after the Iran Hostage Caper.. .there was a big 4 game series of baseball games that drew 200,000 people to Yankee Stadium in New York. The Canadian national anthem was boo-ed mercilessly. So its not like Americans "forgot" what a group of Canadians did for their country in Iran some 20+ years earlier. They never knew in the first place. | ||

They should always become at least a 10 season series that follow the source material. That's spreading the material far too thin. I think the best method is a miniseries. Full on tv series have a tendency to just spin their wheels forever. Monster of the week, or kidnap the heroes yet again. Too many timeslots and no definite ending leads to lazy story writing. Having a defined number of episodes to tell your story so that you can actually plan a beginning, middle, and end is a far superior method to adapting novels for film. | ||

Solid 7/10 on a scale of 5 being average. Jesus christ though the sonic trailer is an abomination on the big screen. Theres also this other movie called "the sun is also a star" which pissed me off unreasonably on name alone. I don't judge a book by its cover. but i'll judge the author based on the books name and judge the book from there. | ||

https://www.superherohype.com/news/448395-next-star-wars-movies-confirmed-to-be-from-game-of-thrones-creators Speaking at the MoffettNathanson Media & Communications Summit, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the next batch of Star Wars movies the company will be released will be from the series penned by Game of Thrones creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Regarding the break between the next Star Wars film and the planned 2022 movie, Iger said: “We’re hard at work already, but we felt three years was the proper amount of time to not only take a breather and reset, but to gear up for the next film’s release." It was revealed last year that the pair would write and produce a new series of Star Wars films, separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the previously announced trilogy that is in development from Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Rian Johnson. “David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, previously said. “Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting.” “In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we’ve been dreaming of it ever since,” Benioff and Weiss said. “We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started as soon as the final season of Game of Thrones is complete.” No word has been revealed about when Rian Johnson’s trilogy will arrive, but Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be released on December 20 of this year. | ||

Still funny to read that Kennedy quote when most of these qualities come from the source material, not D&D. (even though adapting it also takes skill in these fields for sure) | ||
