After SuperHeroes , What Do You Think Will be the Next Big Thing in The Movies?

[Wayne Mack]

Just a wild guess, but I wonder if the Webb telescope will spawn some space opera movies?

 

[Jeffbert]

I just finished the WWW on DVD several months ago. Very entertaining. What's more, you know how many commercial interruptions, because the program segments all have animated exits and intros. I think there were 4 in all. 51+ minutes of content; the good ol' days.

 

[Judderman]

Kgeo those movies you mention made far more at the box office than their budget cost. Seems like they weren’t bad ideas.

 

[Judderman]

Perhaps animated movies will more and more be the box office hits?

I wonder if animation may become indistinguishable from live action movies? Images and voices can be altered after the fact, backgrounds can be created. Why pay for a skilled actor when anyone can be the character on the screen?

They can almost do that now.

 

[Mr Cairo]

That's actually starting to happen ever so slowly .

By the way Mr Cairo , have you ever seen the tvseries the Wild Wild West? if not your in for a treat. It ran for 4 Years 1965 to 1969 It's stem punk science fiction Western punk science fiction western. It's fun to watch.

I did see a few episodes on youtube a few years ago at the same time as I caught up with Space 1999, Planet of the Apes, Seaquest and the Man from Atlantis.

I wasnt a massive fan of the Will Smith film but it did have its moments, there was another TV series that I kind of recall starring Bruce Cambell and I think John De Lancie, it had very much wild wild west vibe but that was another I recall quite enjoying.

The Adventures of Brisko County Jr .

 

[Mr Cairo]

The Adventures of Brisko County Jr .

That's the one I may have to dig around and find those.

 

[BAYLOR]

The Avatar sequels?

 

[Judderman]

Exactly. There could be other animated films like that, but hopefully less garbage storylines.

 

[paeng]

I think they will continue rehashing franchises or getting them from other media, regardless of genre, as long as they can be done with lots of CGI to make them look expensive.

What the world needs is a glorious feature length film of Blake’s 7 with vastly inferior practical sfx.

Id pay to see it !

Pixar let few films have been somewhat lackluster.

Superhero films seem to be slipping at the box office

Superhero films seem to be slipping at the box office

I disagree. 2022 had four of them in the year’s top ten biggest successes, more than the previous two years.
And of course it’s too soon to tell if 2023 will have more.

 

[KGeo777]

Maybe AI-designed movies.

 

[Harpo]

Maybe AI-designed movies.

I’m a fan of the AI genre already, maybe there should be a thread for it

 

[Judderman]

BBC must have been reading our thread.

Superhero films: Is this the end of the road?

A combination of grim headlines and poor box office numbers means that the colossal success of the superhero franchises could be a thing of the past, writes Nicholas Barber.
