“District 9” and “Elysium” director Neill Blomkamp has revealed that he and writing partners Sharlto Copley and Terri Tatchell are in the process of writing the screenplay for “District 10,” the long-awaited follow-up to South Africa’s biggest box office hit.
I absolutely love District 9 and have been waiting for this for far too long.

Interesting. I also love Lockes immediate reaction it will be mediocre based off an announcement lol.
Are you this jaded about everything ? Before you get into bed for snuggle night with your partner, just de robing with a dismissive look on your face “Honey, I know youre very enthusiastic about this, but it will be mediocre at best”

When was the last time JJ Abrams did anything that wasnt mediocre?
Sure...maybe this time the person who has let you down everytime doesnt let you down.
Maybe this is the one.

Amazing news. I felt like we really just got a taste of the District 9 universe in the last film. This is also a film series that could work with a little distance between films. You get a check in once every 10-15 years to see how the situation has progressed.

Executive Producer (simplified) implies that he was a financial concern, and important in getting a project off the ground and greenlit. I give JJ a lot of credit in doing this for some really good projects, especially on the tv side.
When he is simply announced as a producer, it implies a more creative role on decision making and hiring. The only time this has been a successful part of his resume, as far as I can see, is when he did the MI movies, and Cruise is a control nut.
As a writer, he is at best mediocre, and I only really liked Joy Ride as a fun movie. As a director, he is a creative disaster.
The more creative control he is given, the more the project is problematic. If he is a producer, it's fair to say that the film will likely be mediocre, unless a strong personality is put in the directors seat, and JJ stays far away from writing credit. I'd wait for the rest of the above the line crew list before prognosticating, though.

There's no way that I'm going to commit something like 4 hours to sit down and watch this thing. I'll wait for the reviews and maybe break it up into 1 hour viewing blocks.
If they kill Flash in the first hour, then I'm good, god he was awful. Have him get distracted and run into a brick wall, that would be the greatest death ever.

I was under the impression it was going to be released in parts, is that not correct? Is the whole thing dropping on Thursday?
The ad makes me feel like the whole thing is dropping.
When I was in college I use to do some cartooning, we even had the cartoon the adventures of Stickman published in the student news paper (it followed the adventures of a superhero Stickman and his girlfriend Anorexia as he fought his arch villain, the ball who had an evil henchman named the Brick, I'm still waiting for my film option Marvel).
Anyways we did a cross over cartoon, where Flash was jogging in the park at a 1000 miles and hour and ran past the Hulk and the Thing making out and was distracted and ran into the side of the truck creating a kinetic explosion that destroyed Gotham (ok I was drunk when we drew that one).
so yeah, this movie could be the same kind of nonsense

I'm desperate for any kind of media right now. I will 100% soak this up. The fact that it's a bit of a guilty pleasure - and will likely be chock full of over the top Snyder cheese - only adds to my excitement for it.
Anything is a great break from the Netflix documentaries I've been watching. These documentaries have gotten so repetitive, and seem to be the only new media of any quality.

Zack Snyder's Justice League' review: The director's cut is truly a new film -- and a knockout
“Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” the thrillingly restored four-hour-long director’s-cut version of the 2017 DC Comics extravaganza. The new movie — and make no mistake, it really is a new movie — is , a team-of-heroes origin story that, at heart, is classically conventional, yet it’s now told with such an intoxicating childlike sincerity and ominous fairy-tale wonder that it takes you back to what comic books, at their best, have always sought to do: make you feel like you’re seeing gods at play on Earth.
the film is such a feast of bravura eye candy and emotionally serious spectacle that it seems to be delivering all the excitement we’ve been missing. As someone who has never been shy about dissing the global obsession with comic-book cinema, I found that the film totally tapped my inner fanboy. The four hours of it glide by in an addictive trance.
The new “Justice League” exudes a majestic sense of cosmic historical evil. Its tone is less reminiscent of other DC or Marvel movies than of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
It is one 4hr movie but the movie is broken up in 6 chapters with a 20 min epilogue. However, the entire 4hrs will be released all at once on Thursday. Reviews for this have been pretty good so far with a 75% on RT based on 93 reviews. I have a feeling WB is going to be left with alot of egg on their face once this is seen.
