Skewed and Reviewed have posted an opinion piece asking if if the Jurassic Park or Star wars franchises have more on the line when their latest offerings are released in 2015.
Does the ultra-violent new movie, Boy Kills World, glorify violence or encourage a world without it? We see the latter.
Secrets of the Neanderthals Review: The Netflix documentary unearths some new discoveries about the Neanderthals, who disappeared off the face of Earth.
Shaz from GL takes a new look into the broader themes of one of Pixar's oldest animated feature films.
I think both will be big hits but depending on what the final $$ was on making the films and how much is made worldwide at the end after all is factored in....that's what will matter to the big film makers.
Very true. I just see Disney as being the bigger risk. They had to pay alot to get the franchise, they have many projects hinging upon it being a hit and so on. Univseral can say well the 12+ year gap hurt it, audience was not what it was an move on if it fails.
Star wars does - if you don't make a movie that pleases the diehards and the people who look at the original as the holy trilogy, then you crush the franchise and turn what was once an amazing product into a joke...it happened with the new trilogy, they have to get it right with the upcoming trilogy.
Jurassic Park/World can always make new movies.
