hnnggg no idk his work but i get nervous when a movie im looking forward to loses directors and things change D:

[lanrek]

yeah, on the other hand I'd rather them change directors now if it's not working out rather than in the middle of filming, or releasing a crap movie, so hopefully this is a good thing

lettuce pray 🙏🏽

[hahahey]

hmmm this is feeling messy

They're filming some of this in my city as well, and are looking for extras. I'm tempted. They've filmed a bunch of Marvel stuff here, but I've never tried to be an extra despite a bunch of my friends doing it. Still weird to watch The Avengers and be like, "Oh hey, look, it's Mike running away from aliens!"

Try it! ❤️

You should really try it and sneak in something that only you and your friends will understand when they see you in the movie😂

Orrrr - hear me out - go old school and wear a “I ♥️ ONTD” sign.

Probably the guys from Batgirl.

You may want to add this, OP.

I’m told that the current BLADE script is roughly 90 pages and features exactly TWO (lackluster) action sequences. Mahershala said to be very frustrated with the process. Feige said to be spread too thin. But hey, that’s just what sources are telling me. Don’t shoot the messenger

ETA, and this:

I’m told BLADE filming has been pushed to November as Marvel searches for a new director. Also hearing Beau DeMayo has come on to work on the script.

Marvel is truly incapable of making 1 (one) great film

Disney are trying to make Blade PG-13/ family friendly, and to the surprise of no one, this is a mismatch.
Logan would not have been made, if Disney owned X-Men at the time.

there it is your cultural monopoly ruining different point of views, experiences and limiting them to a laughable PG-13
