Another incoming disaster @Lilja K ‘Borderlands' Budget is Actually $120M, Headed Towards $10M-15M Opening Weekend We already know that Eli Roth’s “Borderlands” will be an unmitigated disaster for Lionsgate. It’s a film that’s been plagued with reshoots and rewrites. Puck’s Matt Belloni is saying that the “Borderlands” budget is much higher than what was originally reported. The film cost $120M, and that includes extensive reshoots. Early projections have the film opening in the $10-$15M range. This one’s going to be losing a lot of money. The film wrapped principal photography back in 2021. Roth was not part of the extensive reshoots as he had obligations to direct another film (“Thanksgiving”) during that time period. Tim Miller (“Deadpool”) replaced Roth and, by all accounts, it sounds like the script had some dramatic change during the additional photography phase. Apparently, trying to get the cast back together was a “nightmare,” according to Belloni. This does make sense considering the actors who participated in this film included Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black. If you remember, Blanchett had to board a plane to Berlin to begin shooting Todd Field’s “TAR” in September 2021. Reviews for “Borderlands” are currently under embargo until Thursday previews begin at 3PM ET. In all likelihood, they won’t be positive. Lionsgate probably just wants to get this catastrophic project out of the way and move on to better things. “Borderlands,” based on the popular video game, follows Lilith (Cate Blanchett) as she reluctantly returns to Pandora in search of the daughter of a powerful man named Atlas (Edgar Ramirez), teaming up with a ragtag gang of misfits along the way. It was already a misbegotten idea to turn the video game into a feature, and it sounds like not even Blanchett’s participation — which she blamed on her “COVID madness” — will make much of a difference.

Icon indeed @Lilja K

So now we're entering the era where people have to WIN something to make a nice comment about Leo. Oh boy. Humans are the worst sometimes. Hilarious how probably everyone of them thinks they're any better than Leo when such low behaviour is clearly not 🤣

Since Timmy is threadless I'm putting it here @Lilja K Can't wait to see and hear Boyd as Cash. James Mangold's ‘A Complete Unknown’ Set For December 25 Release So, it’s official — James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” will be released on Christmas Day 2024, per Searchlight. This is the buzzy Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothee Chalamet. It’s obviously going for Oscars and will be skipping all of the fall fests. I should also briefly mention that it’s set to test screen this week in Texas. Mangold biopic started production in March and wrapped up its shoot in May. A quick turnaround. A trailer was released last month for the film. The cast is starry; Chalamet playing Dylan. Edward Norton (Pete Seeger), Elle Fanning (Suze Rotolo), Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez) and Nick Offerman (Alan Lomax) and Boyd Holbrook (Johnny Cash). Mangold (“Ford V Ferrari,” “Logan”) has described “A Complete Unknown” as “Altman-esque, an ensemble piece” that will involve a mosaic of artists such as Guthrie, Baez, Cash and Seeger. Former film critic Jay Cocks wrote the script. He’s only written five films in 30 years, including “The Age of Innocence,” “Silence,” “Gangs of New York,” and “Strange Days.”

More Details on JJ Abrams' Mysterious “Fantasy" Film Here’s TheInSneider with more details on JJ Abrams’ mysterious new film, starring Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega, which apparently resides in the “Fantasy” genre and has franchise aspirations: I’m told it’s “A fantasy film with some ‘Last Starfighter’ vibes,” according to a source who added that it doesn’t take place in space and that it’s decidedly a throwback of sorts. They noted that the script has drawn mixed reception from industry insiders who have read it — but hey, ya can’t please everyone. The Last Starfighter? Really? That’s pure ‘80s nostalgia. In the 1984 film, directed by Nick Castle, High schooler Alex Rogan conquers the Starfighter video game, only to find out it was just a test, and is transported to another planet. He has been recruited to join a team of the best starfighters to defend their world from the attack. Plot details for Abrams’ film are being kept under wraps, and a production start date hasn’t been revealed yet. However, a recent Production Weekly listing had Abrams’ film going by the name of “Acorns,” and the plot revolving around “a young married couple struggling to survive against a supernatural entity.” Abrams’ reps couldn’t confirm or deny the info.

Agree on Shyamalan. Everyone is whining how Hollywood is out of original ideas but when guys like him, Adam McKay (Don't Look Up) or Snyder (Rebel Moon) come along they get ripped apart. However I'll watch Trap on friday. Can't wait
