STAR WARS STARFIGHTER - Ryan Gosling Bags Another IP - May 2027

[AndyDursin]

Shawn Levy, a lifelong hack of a director, now in command of Disney's IP empire. Says everything about where cinema is.

Seriously have you ever read a less impressive filmography for a "big director" in your life?

[Monterey Jack]

Levy was chosen for this the same way he was chosen for Deadpool & Wolverine...he's a hack who craves the money and will happily surrender any "vision" he may have so Disney can micro-manage the production to their heart's content. We will NEVER have a genuine auteur tackle a Star Wars movie while Disney's pulling the strings (and don't EVEN say anything about the dreadfully dull, bafflingly overpraised Andor).

[AndyDursin]

Thing is Levy was just hired to do whatever Ryan Reynolds wanted on Deadpool and Disney wanted to leave them alone in order to print money there. Presumably some end of this project would require more than his resume entails but it says everything that these movies have become so increasingly lame that they dont.
