Matrix 4 flopped horribly, The movie is said to have had a budget of 190 million USD which is the same amount as Dune Part 2 had. Source: https://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/spiderman-billion-dollars-box-office-pandemic-1235143308/
None. Apparently I had fallen for some rumors and well spread half truths. I apologize for my mistake, here's the quick bit from the long article. The courts found the Matrix to be an original work after two different authors accused the Wachowskis of ripping off their work, the courts disagreed with that and found for the Wachowskis in both cases.What plot did the original steal from?
Was a woman who wrote an original story more than 30 years ago plagiarized then deposed by the powerful Hollywood machine? Was she awarded billions after a heated lawsuit? A claim that has circulated around the Internet for years says so, but in actuality it’s little more than a longstanding legend.
Since 2005, multiple stories have popped up on the Internet about Sophia Stewart, a writer who now lives in Las Vegas, winning a judgment against Andy and Larry (now Lana) Wachowski, 20th Century Fox and director James Cameron among others, and being awarded millions in damages. One from thaindian.com, dated 2009, makes the phony claim, which has found its way to various Facebook accounts and a since-corrected CNN iReport. Before being corrected, that iReport went viral again early this week.
According to court documents obtained by TIME, those stories are false. In the case of a lawsuit filed in 2003 claiming damages, Stewart alleged that the idea of the 1984 film The Terminator and the 1999 film The Matrix were stolen from her own screen treatment entitled “The Third Eye,” which was copyrighted in 1983. The documents show that Stewart claimed she was defrauded of $200 million, plus royalties, a hefty sum if she could prove that the Wachowskis and Cameron had ripped her off. On her website, where she dubs herself “The Mother of the Matrix,” Stewart says she answered a magazine ad in 1986 that said the Wachowskis were soliciting science fiction stories to be made into a comic book, but after she sent it she never heard from the defendants.
I wonder about some films.Matrix Resurrections sucked, but it was also released in cinemas at the height of the pandemic. Also, I have no idea how that movie could cost 190 MUSD, it doesn't really show on screen.
Hopefully it takes a bit more time before the film is available to stream. I want Dune part 2 to reach 700 million USD and to be the most successful movie of the year. This would be a good statement if such a movie were to be number 1. I will probably watch it a third time in the cinema. I've also bought the book and for the UHD BD I want the steelbook which is always sold out.Looks so, still not available in Germany, preorder only, maybe next week?
Fast X had a budget of 340 million USD and it looks cheap
You could save a bit on that. In my opinion many famous actors are overpaid. They don't attract as many viewers to the film which would justify fees of USD 15 million. Otherwise we wouldn't have films with very well-known actors which are sometimes huge financial flops. If anything, it's the media buzz that makes a difference. One of the few actors who always attracts a lot of viewers to films is Tom Cruise.How much of that went on paying the so-called talent though? Diesel, Statham, Johnson, Rodriguez, Emmanuel, Momoa and others they aren't coming for cheap. Especially as they might know (or hope) that that franchise is a money-printing machine and they are good until at least Fast LXXVII. If the cost for the top half-dozen stars was less than $100M I'd be a bit surprised.
Dune and Dune 2 honestly though just knock it out of the park. Stunning movies and a cinematographical par de force. The LOTR trilogy of the 2020s IMO.
Still haven't seen the first two. I didn't get why the book was such a big deal, but a whole lot of people seem to disagree.The third Dune movie is now official.
watch the new dunes oooooooooooooooooooomgStill haven't seen the first two. I didn't get why the book was such a big deal, but a whole lot of people seem to disagree.
Also still sort of feeling burnt by the Sting version from back in the day. Talk about a movie flaming out!
Both miniseries are also quite excellent.watch the new dunes oooooooooooooooooooomg
Both miniseries are also quite excellent.
