Hate everybody, and welcome to the Large Nerdron Collider, the show about all the geek things going on in the world and how excited we are to live in a world it has all those geeky things. I'm your host, Jonathan Strickland, and with me, as always is Jonathan Strickland, Large Nerdron Collider creator and my beloved co host. Ariel is currently under the weather, and we skipped last week because we had some travel stuff going on and we hate having to skip two weeks in a row, and plus there's a bunch of short news items we just wanted to cover really quickly. So while Ariel convalesces, I thought I would just give a quick rundown on what we would have talked about and hopefully we'll be able to chat about this more when she gets back. So let's just go through this, shall we. First off, we found out that the next Spider Verse film won't be coming out until twenty twenty seven. That's rough. I still need to watch the most recent Spider Verse movie. I understand it's incredible and I have no doubt about it, but yeah, it's gonna be a couple more years before we get the next entry. It makes sense. Animation takes a lot of time, and those folks over there, they do amazing work. The animation in the Spider Verse movies is some of my favorite that I've seen in years. Dave Fincher is in talks to direct a follow up film to Quentin Tarantinos Once upon a Time in Hollywood. If you're unfamiliar with that, it's a story that mostly follows a kind of a nineteen fifties era westerns actor and his stunt coordinator slash stunt double best friend as they encounter late sixties early seventies era Hollywood and the Charles Manson family. It's a real, real family picture. Anyway. There's talks of David Fincher to direct a sequel that Quentin Tarantino would script, but of course he would not himself direct, which I think is interesting. Next up, Hulu has picked up The Testaments, that is a sequel series to The Handmaid's Tale. Here's the thing I was unaware, or maybe I was aware then forgot about it, that Margaret Atwood, the author of The Handmaid's Tale, had penned a sequel in twenty nineteen. It's called The Testaments, and so Hulu has picked this up. This sequel series would follow several years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, and it mostly features how there is a growing resistance to the government of Gilead and an attempt to overthrow said go So it sounds really interesting to me. Next up, we had Cinema Con over this past week. Cinema Con is a big convention that happens in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's where theater owners get together and various Hollywood studios kind of try to wine and dine those theater owners in an attempt to get more promotion for movies. It's meant to be a mutually beneficial kind of relationship thing, and a lot of stuff happened there. So. For instance, Zoe Saldana presented footage from Avatar Fire and Ash. This is the third of the Avatar films, and from what I hear, is pretty impressive. The footage from this particular convention has not yet made it to the Internet. It probably will at some point or another. But one of the things that is special about Cinema Con is that these theater owners and operators get a chance to see stuff before the general public does. So the Fire and ash was you know. It was some amount of footage that comes out later this year in December, And according to James Cameron one, it's supposed to be the most emotional of the Avatar films so far. I can't really comment on that because I haven't bothered to watch either of the other two. And it's also supposed to be longer, and so you might think, wow, Part two was already more than three hours long. Well, you might want to skip the extra large coke when you go see Part three. Other stuff that was shown off at CinemaCon, Marvel showed off some footage from Thunderbolts. It included a section in which the newly formed team is storming a building, only to find out that the person inside the building has got the doors unlocked and is ready for them to come in anyway. It sounds like it's the first confrontation between the Thunderbolts and the character who will be known as Century, or at least in the comics, is known as Century. I have no idea if they're going to give them that name in the actual movie. And they also showed off a new trailer for The Fantastic Four, which included a look at the Silver Surfer for the first time, so that's kind of cool. Also reveals that apparently Sue Storm is pregnant. She announces that early on, which is it'll be interesting to see where that storyline goes. That's a pretty i mean super early on to introduce the idea of Sue and Reed having their kid. But this is also a world where the Fantastic Four has been established for a while, so it shouldn't be a big surprise there. Other stuff shown off at cinemacn included Soulmate. That's s O U l M. The Numeral eight te This is a spin off from Megan. The Soulmate movie is more about an adult companion if you get my drift. Jordan Peel is also there to show off footage of his next horror film Him. There was some more footage shown off from Jurassic World Rebirth. I think Bloom of Blumhouse came up there dressed in costume to show some footage from Five Nights at Freddy's Part two and other stuff like that. So lots of genre activity happening at CinemaCon, which should make our listeners pretty happy because that's what we, you know, like to go see that's our bread and butter. Disney has reportedly paused production on a live action version of Tangled. They were in the early stages of production for Tangled and following suit with all their other live action adaptations. You know, we've talked about this a lot, where Disney has relied on its established ipe to create new versions of those movies, which some people, self included, find a little tiresome. Sometimes those live action movies tend end up being really good, which is great. I mean, I'm happy for it, but it's kind of tiresome to watch Disney go back and mind the same material over and over again. Anyway, Tangled is on pause, supposedly because of the let's say, tepid response to snow White that maybe this has convinced them to pump the brakes a bit before going any further. I think that's interesting, since we do have a live action Lee, Low and Stitch coming out very soon, and at least from the previews I've seen, it looks like it has the potential to do pretty well. We also have a live action Molwana that's in production, so maybe those will convince the Mousehouse to get Tangled back in production. Maybe not. I guess we'll have to see, but I can't. It seems kind of like a pat reaction to me to pause Tangled just because snow White didn't do so well. I don't think there was a world where snow White was going to do great. I mean, even taking away all the rhetoric and nonsense that came from critics who were determined to hate on the film as soon as they heard anything about it, take all that away, I still think that you wouldn't have had a huge success because I just don't know that snow White resonates the same as it did in nineteen thirty seven. I mean, the movie that they were taking from, the original animated film is almost one hundred years old at this point. Other things I wanted to mention before I sign off really quickly is that we are, of course very sad that Val Kilmer passed away. Val Kilmer an incredible actor, sometimes a troublesome actor like he had a very method approach, and y'all have heard how Ariel and I both don't really care for method actors. But that being said, he was in tons of stuff that falls into the genre categories like real genius or Willow you know, incredible performances, and he was really an entertaining actor. He could do drama, he could do comedy, and we were sad to hear of his passing. Other things I'll mention. While we were off there was the big video. There was a live stream that Marvel did to reveal the casting for Avengers Doomsday, where they showed like an almost endless array of director's chairs with actor names on them, my favorite being that Paul Rudds was on a smaller chair because he's ant Man. There was a sneak peak of Superman that gives us an extended look at the section where Crypto helps Superman, but not before being a very rambunctious doggie. We got a Mortal Kombat two trailer. We got trailers for horror movies like Bring Her Back. We got one from Megan two point oh, which makes it look like it's a Terminator movie where Arnold comes back and then the good guy I mean, Megan two point zero is giving me Terminator too feels. We got a trailer for Final Destination Bloodlines. We got a trailer for Karate Kid Legends. We got one for Star Wars. Tales of the Underworld. We got one for Star Trek Strange New Worlds season three. We got one for an Apple TV Plus series called Fountain of Youth. We got one for the reboot of the Naked Gun series. It actually is a sequel really because Liam Neeson is playing Frank Drebend, but he's playing Frank Drebend Junior, the son of Leslie Nielsen's character. I saw of positive comments on that trailer. I will say I did not like it. I did not like the trailer very much, but it was just a very short, little moment and I don't know. Maybe when I see more of it, I'll feel differently, but it feels a little too Seth macfarlaney to me, Seth MacFarland has a sense of humor that I feel approaches my sense of humor, but then takes a wild turn and the two of us just don't quite gel. Which is not to say that he is bad at what he does. His work is incredibly popular. Just means that personally I don't resonate with his work. Not a diss on him, it just doesn't mesh. And also I wanted to call out. We got a trailer for a documentary called Not Just a Goof, and it is a documentary about the making of the Goofy movie. And for all you millennials out there who have defined your personalities around a Goofy movie, good news. You've got a documentary talking about the making of that film, which I think legitimately is a great and fun comedy. I'm not sure I buy how important it is based upon the documentary trailer, but I think it's a worthy film and an entertaining one. Maybe it's because I don't have kids that might be it. I might just be biased. All right, that's it. That's everything that was on our lineup for this episode. Oh also, we saw a trailer or I saw a trailer for Neighborhood Watch that I thought looked interesting, but that didn't really fit our lineup, so it was going to go into our We're just going to mention this, but we're not really going to spend a lot of time on it category. So those are all the different trailers and stories that we were going to cover. Like I said, maybe Ariel and I will have a chance to talk about these in more depth in our next episode, but I really just wanted to let y'all know what we were going to talk about because it wo'd be ashamed for all this to go by without us having any commentary on it at all. I hope all of y'all are doing well. If you want to reach out, well, listen to another episode and listen to how Ariel says you can do that because I'm not on any of those social medias are anything. So I am a leaf on the wind. Watch me sore, and until next time I have been Jonathan. I am not Han, but I am solo. Strickland.
