Film rights might expire soon. Lots of contracts have a thing that say like "if you don't use the rights to make a film in X years then rights revert to original owner". They also use less popular shit like this to bring in or test out new actors/directors. Most Disney stars start off in a low budget movie/tv show. Or maybe they made a deal with someone that said if you work exclusively for us for a few years then we promise to give you a movie to write or direct, and now Disney has to make good. Maybe it's just plain trying to meet a quota for having a certain amount of minority directed movies. It is probably a combination of all those reasons.
Anyways point is there's tons of moronic reasons these shitty reboots get made.
Are they fricking serious? Have they not learnt anything? Unfortunately people dont want to see blacks on screen. They want their hero's to be white me. Hard to accept for some but that the way it is. This film is going to flop hard.
>yeah yeah we know disney is going bankrupt anytime,
They aren't close to bankruptcy but a studio can't lose money indefinitely. Many studios have gone bk in previous decades.
Do you think Disney is immune from bankruptcy?
> Oyelowo assures fans of 1991’s The Rocketeer that the sequel is in good hands. “I was a big fan of the first one. Actually had the poster up in my bedroom as a teenager. In our film, he’s going to be an ex-Tuskegee airman, so it’s still in that 1940s milieu..”
>We know we have to adhere to the things that people loved about the first one. But that was 30 years ago, so we want to make a film that’s going to resonate for the next 30 years and especially for the now. That’s the needle we have to thread and we’re working hard to do so.
Everything about this sounds horrendous
>and especially for the now
Already showing they don't understand what people liked about the original. It was a sincere celebration of the era as well as the IP. Trying to update it so it's more modern defeats the point
I can assure him, no one in 30 years will remember that POS. It will be reviled and relegated to the dustbins of history as people try hard to forget the eras when we pretended blacks were worthy of lead roles simply for being black. Affirmative action cinema will be a future EMBARRASSMENT we will look upon with shame and disgust.
One of these things is
not like the others,
On of the thing
just doesn't belong,
Can you tell me which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Why don’t they put that basketball American who plays KANG in the lead role instead? He beat the shit out of a bunch of women and Disney didn’t fire him
The original was a bomb with a gorgeous white Caucasian cast. What is the calculus here? Meanwhile the tron sequel was the most interesting thing Disney has done in 15 years and they leave that to rot
I think it's simply >Disney owns the rights to Rocketeer
they're still a business at the end of the day with an asset they haven't used in what, 3 decades? sad part is, the only way it could get made is if they had a black lead. only way the project gets greenlit.
There were rumors that Dismey wanted to put a Rocketeer cameo in "Captain America: The First Avenger". Had they done that, cast Zak Efron, I bet you they could have had a very profitable spinoff universe.
Nobody cares in 2023. Worse, everyone hates the idea.
Billy Campbell was 31yo and Jennifer Connelly was 20yo when they filmed this movie. They dated for five (5) years and even got engaged before they finally broke up.
I can still find my J. Con
scraping the bottom of the IP barrel. as nice as the movie is, it's a beloved cult classic. not exactly waves of toys being made you know. but Disney must shit all over it by blackwashing it.
What is the percentage of blacks who even care about The Rocketeer?
What possesses these imbecile producers to go digging for a market that just doesn't exist?
>What possesses these imbecile producers to go digging for a market that just doesn't exist?
Look at this moron thinking hollywood cares about revenue lmao
Hollywood believes there are four demographics: men, women, young men, and young women. And Hollywood believes every film they produce has to hit three of these demographics. This is why you get romance subplots shoehorned into every action film, why woke shit gets stuffed into childrens movies, why Lady Gaga has to be dumped into Joker 2, why kids films play dad rock for the parents, and so on. Unfortunately, by trying to appeal to more demographics these films end up appealing to no one. Not even the most rabid feminists went to see Ghostbusters. Men both young and old shunned Indiana Jones and the Insufferable Niece. But Hollywood is going to keep doing it.
Don't care. I will still watch the SOVLful original with JCon, Timothy Dalton (best Bond) and based Billy Campbell. Don't care about political agitation crap they waste billions of BlackRock shekels for.
another Disney flop in the making. I have zero interest in supporting yet another IP rape. the girl power cartoon failed miserably, this will be the same.
At this point it seems like different factions at Disney are trying to sabotage different divisions in order to sell them off. This looks like the type of thing that would be done to devalue certain departments. Some complex business plot is the only reason why something like this would be approved.
Everything we are seeing TODAY has already been approved / written / filmed YEARS AGO.
We are seeing a lot of blacks in roles (even more than usual) because many of these projects were written in 2020 / 2021 (like this one) when racial issues were at the forefront in the US.
Disney would want to have more black representation in general, but what you're seeing now is a delay of what was at the forefront 3-4 years ago (or more).
there is zero reasons to remake a classic film that is a period piece
throwing away money just to put a Black person in lead role
Too old
I want to agree but you're esl and likely brown so frick off?

black rock needs to drum up some class division between the proletariat. time for another forced diversity flick.
the one true woketh poster on the board
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message
Zero reason to remake a classic FLOP
>oyelowo
?
Yeah, I couldn't be assed to look him up either.
Is that his name or a sound he makes?
Are they fricking serious? Have they not learnt anything? Unfortunately people dont want to see blacks on screen. They want their hero's to be white me. Hard to accept for some but that the way it is. This film is going to flop hard.
You guys are going to keep getting suprised as long as you don't acknowledge reality.
And it's going to be a bliss to watch. Keep seething.
>yeah it's happening and you deserve it.
Thanks for the concession homosexual.
Yes, the supremacy of whites is declining in entertainment, though a lot is left to be done.
yeah yeah we know disney is going bankrupt anytime, in fact it's happening in two weeks Iger is killing himself as we speak.
>yeah yeah we know disney is going bankrupt anytime,

Not as surprised as the Disney investors are going to be when they (continue to) see the non-existent returns, moron.
Barbie taught them nothing lmao
He uses it to escape redlining and Jim crow
It's funny how your post makes it seem like you think Hollywood cares about revenue when that hasn't been true for years.
It's all so tiresome.
Produced by israelites, Black person is the lead, remake of a classic.
No thanks.
Does he use the rocket to win a dunk contest?
He's going to use it to win the Throw a Guy Through a Plate Glass Window Contest
We wuz rocketman n shiet
more like the pickpocketeer amirite
more like The Racketeer
Ah, that era in America when Africans had it particularly easy. I wonder how they make him fly geebee air rally and a superhero with a nazi jetpack.
>blackwashed lead
It already has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes regardless of how terrible the movie is.
>Rotten Tomatoes
Do people still trust rt?
Unquestioning human cattle do.
You're all being way too negative. Look at the positives here, if this movies a success we're gonna see some kino IRL Ghana rocketmen attempts.
>THE ROCKETEER NEEDS TO BE A BLACK WOMAN
lolz
They already did a shit animated girl sequel to the movie
Funny how Mike continues to get monkey paw wishes granted to him. he's in a Hell of his own making too bad it affects everyone else.
>THAAAT'S RIGHT JAY, THE PACT WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD AND AN OFFERING WAS MADE! IT'S YOU JAAAAAAY
I genuinely hope this fat wienersucker dies. Absolute cancerous opinions, non-stop.
Is it real?
I was hoping someone would bring this up.
GODDAMMIT, MIKE! STOP GIVING HOLLYWOOD TERRIBLE IDEAS!!
It's all so tiresome.

Yes, but not in the way you think.
you just know when they say this it's gonna be shit
If George Floyd made that pose instead of wilding out, he would have been able to breathe.
Why are they still doing the Michael Brown “Hands Up” when it’s since come out that BLM made that up out of thin air?
because objective reality is racist.
I mean, they straight up ignored the county ME's report.
>BLM-turds
>caring about facts or reality

That can't be the real font. Right?

Lol
>comic sans

>Rockets over to Tel Aviv and drops a nuclear bomb on it
Wow, I didn't know Sam Raimi was directing. Maybe this'll actually turn out good.
My Black person fatigue is over 9000.
>that last name
yiff in hell furgay
Why don’t they put that basketball American who plays KANG in the lead role instead? He beat the shit out of a bunch of women and Disney didn’t fire him
love me some Black folk
>Bad guy is literal nazi
>Local goons are KKK
>guaranteed scene of local cops treating him like shit/false arrest
Sounds kino
it’s all so tiresome
Kino is back on the menu
Sounds like something Yidsney will turn into a tax writeoff.
James Bond will be blacked next.
Can't fricking wait.
HOT

How much you want to bet his love interest will still be a white woman
Well duh
If it's a 'white' woman (aka israeliteess) then sure.
Which kazaar milkers actress will they get this time? also i miss prime JenC

They did the same thing with willow and national treasure, both flopped
Rocketeer is probably even more obscure than Willow
There's a cartoon about it.
>cancelled after 1 season
I'm shocked.
Was it kino?
Im so fatigued bros
Whites being replaced with Black folk is what the people in the film's setting fought for, so why not?
What is the percentage of blacks who even care about The Rocketeer?
What possesses these imbecile producers to go digging for a market that just doesn't exist?
It's not about money or popularity, it's about sending a message.

Didn’t they already make a Rocketeer cartoon with a black girl?
Maybe now he'll be able to afford some additional consonants for his last name.
It's all so tiresome.
Don't care. I will still watch the SOVLful original with JCon, Timothy Dalton (best Bond) and based Billy Campbell. Don't care about political agitation crap they waste billions of BlackRock shekels for.
We eatin good Rocketeerbros.

i want to live on a farm
Cute wife

any oldgays remember the rocketeer cups from pizza hut
Not the cups specifically, but the promotion and commercials, yeah. Me and Mom used to hit up The Hut once every couple weeks.
Land Before Time and ALF were two other major Pizza Hut promos.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/355106372782
i remember the comics, and i miss Bettie Page
They’re still trying this? It’s failed to get off the ground 3 times. They started shooting last time and then just canned it.
Who the frick is so desperate to make a stained version of Rocketeer
The first one didn't even make enough money to continue the franchise plans they had
Racketeer is one of my favorite movies. Cool and has primo Jennifer Connely in it. What the frick are they doing with this jogger shit?
Is he going to tank 30mm explosive mine shells again?
Pure kino
another Disney flop in the making. I have zero interest in supporting yet another IP rape. the girl power cartoon failed miserably, this will be the same.

This
Just are just appealing to Larry Fink for the ESG bucks and Joe Biden.
WE FLY NOW?
>we fly, no lie, you know this starts playing
Mike got it half right I guess
A black rocket scientist? It will only be believable if he steals the jetpack to try and get away from the police.
The jetpack is stolen in The Rocketeer.
Does it take place near Tuskegee sometime around 1942?
I like Iger, he's purposely crashing Disney stocks.
