Zack Snyder's Insane Vision For the DCEU, And Jordan Peele's US Spoiler Discussion Part 2

On the May 24, 2018 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film senior writer Ben Pearson to talk about the latest film and tv news, including Sinemia, George RR Martin, Michael Bay’s Netflix movie and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We’ll also try to answer a question in the Mail Bag about who is responsible for the creation of a film, and we’ll run the audio from my interview with Solo: A Star Wars Story director Ron Howard.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it).   In the News: Michael Bay’s ‘Six Underground’ Will Be Netflix’s Most Expensive Original Film Yet MoviePass Competitor Sinemia Begins Offering Cardless Ticket Reservations to Keep Up With High Demand George R.R. Martin Developing ‘Ice Dragon’ Film at WB, Laughing at Those Hoping to Ever Read ‘The Winds of Winter’ Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is Going Full ‘Westworld’ With Branching Narratives   In The Mail Bag: Owen from Los Angeles writes in, “So I know there has been a lot of talk about this Wall Street Journal article that attributes 70% of the finished Solo film to Ron Howard and 30% to Lord & Miller but I thought it would be a really interesting discussion to dissect what that means. Sure Howard shot 70% of the actual film but he didn’t cast the movie, do the Pre-Vis, hire the key crew (including DP) or set the look and style of the film. So is this film more Howard or Lord and Miller. I’d argue that Howard played with the toys that Lord and Miller left. I think this is an interesting discussion because I had the same feeling with Ant Man. In many ways that film is more squarely in Peyton’s camp since he entirely directed the film but Edgar cast a lot of the key roles (if not all, right?), did all the pre-vis and set a lot of the style (ie costumes etc.) Also McKay set a lot of the comedic tone with the script before Peyton was onboard. So it’s interesting in many ways to have such strong cooks in the kitchen.  I think Ant Man benefited by all those collabs.I just think the amount of screen time one directed does not a movie make.”   In Our Feature Presentation: Ron Howard Talks About the Unique Challenge of Making ‘Solo’ [Interview]All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes.   /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).   Please feel free to send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

At The Water Cooler: Peter binge watched Evil Genius on Netflix Brad went to the CCFF for some movies, started watching Marvelous Mrs. Maisel   In The Mail Bag: Shaneez writes in that we should “definitely give Expanse another try. It's a great show that is seriously underrated. Because not only is it great sci-fi but the political undertones and how it relates to the American political system is great. The Martians (humans settled in Mars) represent the right of center political spectrum whereas the people of earth are what you could call the center left and the belters are the actual poor people being used by both sides for their political gain. I would go as far to say it's the Game of Thrones of space without the excessive violence and nudity and things do happen in each episode unlike Game of Thrones. The Expanse has to be enjoyed for its broader political undertones along with the Sci fi and action. I hope you and your team give it a try. And I'm bummed they cancelled it.   In the News: Universal’s Dark Universe May Still Be Alive, Aliiiiiiiiive MoviePass Competitor Sinemia Unveils New Two-Ticket Subscription Plans for Couples & Friends New ‘Clue’ Movie Could Be R-Rated, For Some Reason Buckle Up, Baby: Lucasfilm Wants to Make a Lando Calrissian ‘Star Wars’ Spin-Off Possible Obi-Wan Kenobi Spin-Off Movie Details Arrive and There’s Something Odd About Them ‘Captain Marvel’ Won’t Be Your Typical Superhero Origin Story   Other articles mentioned: Evil genius review   All the other stuff you need to know:   You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes.   /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.   You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).   Please feel free to send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
