Probably guarantees we're gonna see KPop Demon Hunters 2 in theaters and on PLFs for a full wide release, as well

That window is technically into SVOD here, which is maybe the bigger issue industry-wide, so I'm verrrrryyyyy curious what the results will be. Major precedent-setter at minimum — any Netflix big budget movie could and should ask for this — and major game-changer at maximum

The Greta Gerwig Narnia date change feels like a result of the industry's move to 45-day PVOD windows instead of any quality issue with the film. I know nothing, but I presume that exhibitors had real leverage here against Netflix. 7 weekends before Netflix debut

This has been known for a decade-plus. The original script is out there somewhere (I’ve read it). First act is more or less the same. The rest is vastly different, though Jonah wrote the video call scene at the end and Chris moved it to the middle
Variety@Variety

Steven Spielberg "was involved with #Interstellar for a year" before dropping out: "I became fascinated with it." “I actually hired Chris Nolan’s brother [Jonathan] to write the first and second draft for me, but it didn’t stick. Jonah actually said, ‘If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, I can tell you who’s gonna grab it. He’s already bugging me about it. And that’s my brother Chris.’ He was absolutely right. The second I decided not to make it, Chris jumped on board, probably the next day. ‘Interstellar’ was a much better movie in Chris Nolan’s hands than it would have been in mine.” (via Empire) variety.com/2026/film/news…

lol-ing at everyone realizing Andy Weir's politics ... may I interest you in the far better writer and noted socialist Kim Stanley Robinson???

Basically any excuse I’ve seen for this is movie executive bootlicking à la “they had to remove it for mass market appeal!!” Listen to yourselves LOL

“Oh yeah the book by Andy Weir, the former software engineer who’s famous for hard sci-fi and who wrote a 15+ page treatise on the realistic physical biology of Rocky… science schmience! What if they had a room w/ a bunch of screens of nature and someone karaoke’d Harry Styles!”

Still kind of reeling with how PHM de-emphasizes problem solving from book to movie. Feels like taking a Nolan movie and saying “let’s take out the theme of time” or taking a Sorkin script and saying “let’s cut back on the dialogue.” Like… huh??? Cracks in the foundation!

@HitFactoryPod @GentleDoofus Read the original screenplay, it’s far from perfect, suspect if it would’ve been that much better (said as a massive fan of Gray going full tilt with Lost City of Z)

@GentleDoofus i think the vision wins out. the narration can occasionally grind, but i don't find it as irredeemable as others

Ad Astra remains the best (and most overlooked) space movie of the century. the vast expanse of space reflected within the depth of the human psyche. feels like a world worth saving. dazzling, but never ostentatious. optimistic, but schmaltz-free; never mistaken for "hopecore".

Not to be like this (OK, I admit, I am like this), but as much as I enjoyed the full-IMAX splendor of PROJECT HAIL MARY, the ~10 minutes of FIRST MAN that use the format made more of an impact on me. polygon.com/first-man-ryan…

Hypothesis, testing, revisions, solution is literally both the scientific method and the way to construct a scene in a movie. The Martian is right there The PHM book gives so much opportunity for this but it’s clear that the movie wasn’t interested.

Seeing pushback to criticism of Project Hail Mary and its (lack of) science saying more or less “did you really want them to do math problems?” Feels like a lack of imagination of adaptation. Cinematic language (editing) can achieve the scientific process w/o dialogue

@BilgeEbiri Been curious about the idea of "faithful" with this movie. Plot details are more or less the same, but the sensibilities just feel so different. Much less process-oriented like the book and more antics-based, like Spider-Verse and Lego Movie. Felt like a different experience

@BilgeEbiri Excellent review, Bilge, as always. Very much aligned with your deconstruction of its cloying nature

“At heart, PROJECT HAIL MARY is a kids’ film in the guise of a 156-minute sci-fi adventure. It doesn’t want to awe us so much as it wants to awwww us. For better and worse, it succeeds.” vulture.com/article/review…
