What happens when you have a bad script that needs work and you’re under pressure to start filming already?
You delay and delay until you can’t delay anymore.
And that’s exactly what’s been happening, I’ve been told, with this upcoming movie that is anticipated by some and dreaded by others.
I guess development hell has a new member. I hope they have an extra bed and fiery martinis.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
What is our movie?
I would rather people make a good movie than a movie comes out soon

A producer valuing quality over quantity. I imagine quite a novel concept in Hollywood, dears.

The Game of Thrones showrunners have changed their minds on that. They went from desperately pumping out a season per year to finally taking their time to ensure the scripts are good. I hope the last season is better than the last few.

It jumped the shark. It’s shit now. Westworld or nothing.

I’m not a fan of this trend of final seasons taking years to air. It kills a lot of the anticipation for me.

I seem to recall hearing some noise about a project like that absolutely years ago, dear. Never went ahead, did it?

Could bloody swear I read about monthly updates on that in The Sun ten years ago or so.

Let it end. They did the series to death the first time around.

That heinous Barbie film that was supposed to star the chubby irritant Amy Schumer and now is starring the skinny irritant Anne Hathaway.

I have no idea who is gonna bloody watch this film.

Sounded like another shit edgy Amy Schumer comedy at first, but with Hathaway? Probably a shitty kid movie about feminism.

I think Barbie need to star an average-sized irritant.

This sounds like the movie version of The Winds of Winter by GRRM that’s been delayed yet again and won’t even be released by the end of 2018. Lame. Losing interest in the ASOIAF series, anyway.

What a joke. Who knew it took that long to write a bloody fantasy book?

That fatass is too busy appearing at conventions and eating his life away. Such a lazy hack.

And he has several television projects in the works with HBO.

This will be the longest time between books in the series and unfortunately it does seem to be a constant problem in the fantasy world of writers taking a lot of time to finish. Don’t even get me started on The Wheel of Time.

You have my attention. Tell me more.

It’s really not that interesting, but Robert Jordan, the writer of The Wheel of Time series, notoriously took time to finish the series and when the end appeared in sight, Jordan kept adding new storylines and needed more books. Sound familiar? Jordan eventually died without ever finishing and another writer, Brandon Sanderson, took over.

Don’t sell yourself short. That was interesting. Think Martin might die because he finishes the Game of Thrones books. Just see that going the same way sadly.

Don’t forget that the A Song of Ice and Fire series was originally only supposed to be 3 books and has now already hit 7…

Is anyone else not buying the Bond delayed because of Rachel Weisz pregnancy story?

Maybe using it as a cover to work on the script…
