Max: The Artist Formerly Known as HBO Max

[weezerspider]

Rami Malek was definitely miscast, but I also think getting the director of The Blind Side and The Alamo to do a 90 esque serial killer film was a huge mistake as well and I actually like most of John Lee Hancock's films, but he wasn't a good fit for it at all and it shows.

Oddly enough, The Little Things was written before Seven in 1993 for Steven Spielberg to direct. That script has floated around forever. We now know why it was never made for so long. It sucked

HBO Max coming to Latin America in June 2021.

Nothing about the UK...?

 

[StarLord]

Nothing about the UK...?

In some key markets such as the UK, HBO has long-term distribution deals with Sky and other partners that preclude the launch of HBO Max.

Think I read a while back that HBO's deal with Sky is in place until 2024 I'm afraid, which sucks.

Ah well, guess the SnyderCut be out on NowTV in due course. Thank you for your informative reply!!

After watching The Little Things... I'm really doubling down on the idea of WB being fine with doing this because they knew most of the movies wouldn't make money anyway

 

[kguillou]

Just finished Black Messiah and this is more like it. This is a GOOD movie. WB’s first really good one out of this initiative.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Black Messiah ended up being pretty great and a big step up in quality from The Little Things, but I doubt Warner Bros is going to be able to keep the same momentum going for their upcoming releases.

They definitely need more quality films on HBO Max though.

 

[flickchick85]

In terms of quality, this will probably be their best major release for...a while, lol.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Just got around to watching The Little Things and I actually enjoyed it. Thought the ending wasn’t too great as it felt unresolved but upon a second rewatch there were a few little things (pun intended) that I picked up on that made the film better for me

Jared Leto’s performance was the definite highlight for me. He was both creepy and funny. That would have been PERFECT for his take on Joker

Next up is Tom & Jerry.
So.... Yeah.

WTF. No way.

HBO Max's Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai Reveals Talented Voice Cast

 

[Iceman]

Nice, want to see that one.

[Erzengel]

Um. Have they even casted this yet? Director?

‘Constantine’ Reboot In The Works At HBO Max From J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot With Guy Bolton Set As Writer

Constantine is expected to be race-swapped in this version.

 

[flickchick85]

Well the encouraging part about GL filming in LA is that they won’t be pulling from the same Vancouver pool of actors that the Arrowverse shows do. We might actually get some decent names in this show.

That'll finally make it a success!

As long as he keeps the blond hair.

I was watching the Shreik episodes of Batman Beyond last night and I remembered why I love that show this much. I guess why I own the whole set. Well I own the whole set digitally and I purchased the blu-ray because it came with the chrome BB figure.

Now that we have HBOMax, can we please obliterate the CW crap? Superhero shows on the CW makes it feel like we're still stuck in the 90's - 00's with cheap looking superhero shows. I can appreciate the ambition sometimes, but the fact they don't have the money combined with just how they make their shows just makes it embarrassing. If you can make GOT look like a movie, I don't see how you can't do it with superheroes. Crazy right? Just keep the progressive casting principle and leave everything else. Make a new Batwoman show!

CW shows almost feel like a cheap money grab, like the Asylum version of superhero shows. I can't believe people still watch them.

First image from that animated Aquaman HBO Max show.

My reaction:

 

[samsnee]

It looks like it’s going for a Brave and the Bold aesthetic. Not a bad thing

 

[Doctor Jones]

Looks more like a Adventuretime sort of thing. I don't mind the style as long as it works for what it is. I'd have to see more of it before I make full judgement. Just as long as it isn't trend chasing like that awful looking Star Trek Lower Decks show. This is WB though so I wouldn't put it past them for this to be awful.
