Producer vs. Director: The Case of Zack Snyder

by

Pim Razenberg on the debate on creative differences between producers and directors… Creative differences. The clichéd answer to most break-ups between a studio and its directors. Recent examples of cases where “creative differences” were the cause of conflict are the departure of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from the as-of-yet untitled Han Solo anthology film […]

Lord & Miller vs. Kasdan & Kennedy: A Fight for the future of our franchise films

Anghus Houvouras on the Han Solo director situation and a fight for the future of franchise films… I’m still in a state of utter disbelief over the disintegration that has happened between directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord and the creative conglomerate that handles the cinematic Star Wars universe. It’s an absolute gobstopper of a conversation […]

by

#ALLIN The DC team-up movie Justice League has dominated the headlines since its release, with a lot of negative reviews and a pretty disappointing opening weekend at the box office.

The Most Disappointing: Joss Whedon’s Justice League

by

Anghus Houvouras on Joss Whedon’s involvement with Justice League… I’m still processing the Frankenstein franchise film that was Justice League. A not totally unenjoyable blockbuster that felt like a movie that had been stolen from Zack Snyder and taken to a chop shop where it was stripped down and reassembled based on the notes from […]

by

Neil Calloway thinks the troubled Han Solo film proves Disney’s hearts aren’t in the right place… So, with the news that Phil Lord and Chris Miller have left the Han Solo movie, it’s time to ask if Disney really are the best people to move the Star Wars franchise forward. Of course, films run into […]

Lucasfilm were right to hire a new Han Solo director, but it’s their fault, not Lord and Miller’s

by

Samuel Brace on Lucasfilm’s director shake-up on the Han Solo Star Wars movie… Let’s start off by saying that no one likes to see people lose their jobs, and I’m sure that Phil Lord and Chris Miller did a very good job directing the movie they wanted to make. However, by looking at the evidence […]

The fallout of Lord & Miller’s exit from the Galaxy Far, Far Away

by

Anghus Houvouras on the fallout of Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s exit from the galaxy far, far away… Like most of you, I was relatively surprised by the news that directors Lord and Miller ended up parting ways with Disney/Lucasfilm on the Han Solo Star Wars movie. It’s still very early in the news cycle. […]

by

Ricky Church with five potential Transformers spinoff movies… With Transformers: The Last Knight potentially being Michael Bay’s final outing directing the franchise, Paramount and Hasbro are focusing on the future by developing not one, not two, but 14 potential spin-offs. A couple spin-offs we already know, such as Bumblebee and an animated prequel set on […]
