>THE FRANCHISE follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie fight for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe, shining a light on the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking, to ask the question — how exactly does the cinematic sausage get made? Because every frick-up has an origin story.
>Himesh Patel and Aya Cash star alongside previously announced cast Jessica Hynes, Billy Magnussen, Lolly Adefope, Darren Goldstein, Isaac Powell, Richard E. Grant and Daniel Brühl.
>Jon Brown ("Succession," "Avenue 5") wrote the pilot and serves as showrunner, while Mendes ("1917," "Skyfall") directs and produces alongside Armando Iannucci ("Veep," "Avenue 5").

This could be the death knell for us.
idc about your thread or whatever the hell a superhero is
but get a load of that chick's face
is it just me or does she have the BPD phenotype
This could be some intern who is spamming articles to give them attention.
God damn, superhero movies are old enough to have meta parodies like this now
>now
I really do admire the PR people who managed to turn Tom Cruise's reputation around.
How can a cast sign contracts for a new project?
All they did was pull him out of the PR circuit. He typically picks good scripts so his actual acting career was never an issue.
>How can a cast sign contracts for a new project?
They (allegedly) signed on before the strike.
Cinemaphile it will be the guide for them to do this show.
I hope they include it:
>She's too skeleton for the role
Let's pick her for being skeleton because we don't want to sexualize the actresses
Let's dress her with that burqa because we don't want to sexualize the actresses.
Let's make her have no makeup because we don't want to sexualize the actresses
She's sexy in the comics but let's put in a fat, dyke actress because we don't want to sexualize any actresses
Meds.
Didn’t Zaslav greenlight 10 years of DC movies in a cinematic universe?
>make a show about making movies making movies
When will Hollywood stop sniffing its own farts? Never?
Ugh I hate this meta shit, now you know the superhero gerne is fricking dead
>poo lead
>shining a light on the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking
Is it that different from any other blockbuster movie?
Let's get the bingo started
>Joke about bad CGI
>Joke about overdesigned costumes
>Joke about superhero movies not being true cinema
>Joke about Macguffins
>Joke about quippy dialogue
What else?
>Joke about overdesigned costumes
As if. It'd probably be another "superhero costumes are too silly" or "women are not wearing burkas, muh male gaze"
There is literally nothing here to feel hopeful about it. It’s just empty Hollywood types making fun of Hollywood
>indian named patel
>Cancelled Doom Patrol for this
Warner Bros deserves to shutter
They'd have to cancel it anyways now that Brenda Fraser is an oscar winning actor. His agent would probably ask to increase his pay, which would lead to the other main actors ask for more money too and WB ain't paying for a niche title, always on the verge of cancelling like Doom Patrol.
Shame really, but it is what it is.
>Warner Bros deserves a Shooter
Yes, please.
shooter not Shooter.
This is going to be the "Literally Me" movie but for the cast, crew and fans of the 2014 Ninja Turtles Movie
Explain, because I'm not seeing it.
it's happening again, isn't it?
The shows have completely different concepts
At what point did you think this had literally anything to do with Cinemaphile?
Wrong board
Wow I love media about making media whatever auteur came up with this idea deserves a medal
>station 13 guy
hell yeah

they will probably just up some generic superhero to as a basis but they probably should use some public domain Golden age characters
