This is a new story.
Freaky Friday has been made a few times. This is the first direct squeal. Making it a genuinely different story this time.
But when you really analyze things, there are only a couple dozen different stories. Estimates at the high end are around the mid 30s. So no there are no "new" stories. Even if you saw one, you'd probably hate it for not making sense.
Who is even asking for this? The article makes it sound like people have been demanding a sequel, while I can't recall the last time someone even mentioned this movie.
"Skydance executives, assisted by consulting firm Bain & Co., have identified $2 billion in potential cost cuts at Paramount."
"Details remain scarce in terms of how exactly Skydance will operate Paramount, but those familiar with the conversations about the takeover have told Deadline that job losses and cost reductions will still be priorities."
I've been harping on about how SNW's backup plan is clearly to just become a complete TOS reboot ... if it survives ... how quickly do you think that happens now?
Well, my understanding of SNW is that it wasn't in the "prime time line" from before the whole USS Kelvin/time travel thing from 2009. Is that not the case?
Although discovery is supposed to be set before that event, I think...
Damn, I really haven't been keeping up.
I don't like watching new shows because I fucking hate cliffhangers with a passion. So I like to wait for their inevitable season 3/5 cancelation.
It's between the original TOS pilot with Pike (and heavily shown in the menagerie through flashbacks) and TOS. It has Spock and Uhura in the main cast and it's made it clear that its timeline ends with TOS.
A crew of oceanic researchers working for a deep sea drilling company try to get to safety after a mysterious earthquake devastates their deepwater research and drilling facility located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
I just watched this a few days ago and really liked it. Big cosmic horror vibes. Very light on actual plot aside from a group of drillers trying to escape the trench but I really liked it.
“Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves” (2023)
This movie sadly bombed at the box office, but is in my opinion a near-perfect fantasy adventure flick that strikes a really good balance of narrative and comedy, and respects the source material without making it a prerequisite for enjoyment. I’d put it up there with “The Princess Bride” and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a similar cult appreciation in the future.
Just because I realised my partner has never seen it, and it’s a banger, and about AI, and has a strong female character, it seemed interesting to revisit some 30 odd years later
