Totally agreed, but who cares anymore. Flood the streaming platforms with content - people click on what they know.
Occasionally, great shows still break out and are huge hits („The Pitt“), but the golden age of tv is over.
It’s funny that even streaming is going the way cinema went (downhill): originality is out, easy marketing is the only thing that matters.
On the other hand, that’s apparently the way audiences prefer - and I honestly can’t blame them: menu’s are so cluttered with options, the repertory so vast and crowded and confusing people resort to the stuff they already know or that’s already popular with the masses. Since it’s all governed by the might logarithm that’s then also the stuff all the other users get at the top of their pages. 
This is the only Cape Fear project I’m interested in:
The Simpsons with a twist! This "brilliant" post-apocalyptic adaptation is becoming a movie
Yes, the brother was not working on this film. And yes, it might truly be spectacular.
But how is this news worthy and relevant?
Next up: my mom thinks my new script is the best that was ever written.
Im sure Christopher Nolan really likes Fallout as well.
I love Flanagan‘s work, and surely he will have good creative reasons for this… but the Darabont version already was great, IMO.
I have outgrown this or I expect more than just a greatest hits compilation.
Watching the “Light and Magic” docu-series on Disney +, I realized a couple of things: 1, the impact and achievements of ILM on moviemaking cannot be overstated and 2, despite being 12 years old when the first movie came out, I have somehow never managed to summon up any real enthusiasm or affection for the Star Wars franchise.
I’ll probably stream this somewhere down the line, if we’re still subscribed.
Unfortunately, our man Tim isn’t coming back.
That makes two of us.
Three of us.
Definitely beyond 2026: another IP mining production…
This article also lists the following as being part of the cast, some of whom I wasn’t aware of:
As previously announced, the cast also includes Scarlett Johansson, Jacobi Jupe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane.
Sign me up for this. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Laurence Fishburne are big gets for Flanagan and I was a huge fan of Sasha Calle in the otherwise abysmal The Flash. She should have gotten a chance to continue on as Supergirl, but I’m looking forward to seeing her in this.
I’m starting to think that this might be a rare film that I break my cinema boycott for.
Wow! This cast is outrageous, so many big names! If they manage to screw this up, it’ll never be right again.
They can’t screw it up anymore than they did with Exorcist 2, @jamesb007nd lol. As @dalton said it’s nice to see Sasha Calle get more work after The Flash of which she was one of the highlights (along side Michael Keaton). Also, @dalton you’re right she (and Keaton for me), should be allowed to comeback as their characters one day. I still stand by Scarjo being overexposed, though. She has less facial expressions than the corrupt AI systems used to mimic humans often do.
I trust in Flanagan.
And with that, I’m fully onboard!
I’m glad that he’s also still helping out on Clayface (Batman villain horror movie due in September). He helped write the story at least (using Batman The Animated Series Clayface episodes as an influence, which is a BIG PLUS to me), and producing with other trusted DC people. One of the best multi-taskers in the movies today, in my opinion. I notice a lot of DC cast members in his Exorcist cast now, lol. Diane Lane is a bit underrated, in my eyes.
They certainly can’t screw it up any worse than Exorcist: Believer. Although, I’d actually be impressed if they managed to make one worse than that.
I’d love to see Keaton return as well, and maybe we’ll get to see him one day if that Batgirl film ever finds the light of day. Keaton was another highlight of that film as well (well, he and Calle were the only highlights, really) and I thought the two of them paired together really well and carried that film a lot further than it had any right to be carried.
This cast and the fact that it’s Flanagan leading the creative charge really has my excited for this film. We might finally get a film that is worthy to stand alongside The Exorcist and The Exorcist III.
EDIT:
And more casting news for Flanagan’s The Exorcist
Carla Gugino and Carl Lumbly were the names that immediately stood out to me among the 11 names mentioned.
Fantastic cast this movie has lined up for it.
Our man Craig is reportedly up for a role in The Batman Sequel.
I’m just glad he’s keeping the pattern of former Bonds in DC projects alive.
