Deadpool’s joke about still making him do this when he’s 90 (or whatever it was) might not be that far from the truth:
While AI sucks at least it's gonna put an end to leaked movie photos spoiling a film because nobody will trust anything anymore.
Yeah, but as I expressed in the Davies thread over in the Doctor Who forum, it also further fuels the misinformation discourse to a truly dangerous level. Yeah, entertainment leaks will be ignored but actual news reporting will be seriously damaged.
I get this photo was intended in good faith and humor but that's why I don't find it funny at all. It's a very slippery slope.
Have you met people?
ai is almost everywhere now
I don't see Martin Luther King,Stephen Hawking or Mr Rogers in the picture. I think it's legit!
Going back in timeMeanwhile his MCU partner recently did this: Hayley Atwell visiting Peggy Carter's office at Disneyland
Wish we'd had gotten more Peggy Carter / Agent Carter.
Are there any credible rumors about about future Marvel projects (live action or animated) with either Peggy Carter or Captain Carter?
Which had been paired with the Chris Evans rumor.
That reminds me, I read a story that, thanks to UK tax records/laws, someone got a hold of 'Deadpool v Wolverine' budget, and that, instead of the reported budget of $200 million, thanks to the Covid shutdown and rewrites, the actual budget was closer to $600 million, and the film barely made a profit.
Link please? I mean, it's always great that people read stories, but this is how rumors start on the internet.
'I once saw a thing and it was really real real, but I can't show you.'
It took some digging to get there but here is the Companies House link for the film's production company - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14440992/filing-history
If you add up the cost of sale row across the various years then the figure of $600m isn't far off (£420m at $1.32 (being lazy with conversion rates) = $554m)
How that all ties in with box office figures and so on is beyond my knowledge but the production cost claimed lines up
But does that calculate in all the tax breaks and incentives movie studios are given?
Yes - shows c. £55m in "other income" being govt grants and shows c. £28m in tax incentives etc (see page 22 note 7 for detailed breakdown)
Thanks.
...and yet, there are still people online who believe they can take a movie's supposed budget, do a fifty-year-old, elementary school-level bit of math in their head and declare with certainty that a film is a success or failure at the box office.
I blame David Gerrold.
But does it include merchandising?
