Well, it was unexpected. The Hollywood Reporter just reported (sorry) that Millennium is in talks with Bryan Singer to make an adaptation of the comics of the sword and witchcraft of the 1970s Sonja red. As you probably know, Singer was fired by Fox after not appearing to work on the set of his biopic Freddie Mercury. Bohemian Rhapsody. It has also been the implicit and explicit target of any number of allegations of sexual assault and rumors dating back at least since Student Apt in 1997. Needless to say, this ad is not going well online. I imagine that Millennium does not care, knowing that A) is a project that will probably go better abroad than in North America and B) the reaction Online is not necessarily indicative of the general popular reaction. Nevertheless, this still looks like an act of self-sabotage.

There were allegations against Singer just before X-Men: Days of Future Past opened in May 2014, but the film still earned $ 233 million worldwide and $ 758 million worldwide, still the largestdead Pool movie in the X Men franchise. And even with the controversies over Bohemian Rhapsody, the film is in full swing and Singer supervised the editing and was able to obtain an exclusive staging credit, even with Dexter Fletcher as relief pitcher. So, it's hard to say that the allegations against the director will affect cinema decisions of moviegoers in China, Russia or Mexico. Also, at the end of the day, if people want to see a Sonja red movie, especially if their kids do it, they are unlikely to deprive themselves of the opportunity because of allegations and scandals associated with the director.

Having said all this, what does Millenaire get from hiring Bryan Singer instead of drawing countless unblemished male filmmakers or, if you take the X Men frankness of the equation, it's the guy who delivered a disappointing reboot to Superman (Superman Returns earned $ 391 million worldwide in 2006 on a budget of $ 200 to $ 270 million) and dropped and Jack the Giants Killer ($ 195 million out of a budget of $ 175 million in 2013). Since filmmakers are brand managers in 2018 and you can name a few (Nolan, Tarantino, Burton, Spielberg, etc.), Singer is not one of them. Hiring Singer to direct the film puts the media story, especially the social media story, against your movie from the beginning, without any benefit.

the Hollywood Reporter The story mentions, and this is not a direct quotation, that society Expendables, Legend of Hercules, Criminal and killer hunter) wants to take advantage of the audience for Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. Wonder Woman. But at least part of the formula for Wonder WomanThe success was in hiring a director who a) made a good movie and B) was able to sell the film as a big upset moment of glass ceiling. Just or not, Bryan Singer is A), a filmmaker with a story of # MeToo-hostile scandals, who hopes the movie will fuel a comeback and show that for me, #TimesUp does not apply. This is exactly the opposite of the picture you want to paint from the door for a Sonja red movie.

If I can put it bluntly, there are a lot of female filmmakers who could handle a big budget. Sonja red not just obvious candidates like Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Catherine Hardwicke, Michelle McLaren, Mimi Leder and Lexi Alexander. There are a number of women directors coming out of short series (Thea Sharrock, Debra Granik, Jennifer Kent, etc.) who deserve at least as much opportunity as Singer. The usual suspects and Student Apt 20 years ago. Even if none of these people has any interest, the gender imbalance will not stop (or even move) unless the producers take a moment to find a director who wants to create a new Sonja red film, even if only for credits and money. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt Singer took the job because he was a long time fan of Sonja red comic books.

Even if you argue that it does not matter if a movie Sonja red ends up being led by a guy, hiring a director for a project immediately gets the press online (which, up to the exit, can control the story) from your side at least until the film proves opposite. A Sonja red A film directed by Jane Goodman or Rachel Talalay will be greeted with much more enthusiasm online than one directed by a relatively unknown director, let alone the one who (just or not) defines "problematic". Woohoo, another Sonja red film, hopefully, it will be better than the 1985 Brigitte Nielson / Arnold Schwarzenegger film! But "this struggling filmmaker who was fired from his latest film gets more opportunities than irreproachable directors. Sonja red story.

There are many warnings "good, but maybe …". Maybe Fox Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece and silences many dissidents. Perhaps the allegations (especially the illegal ones) that have shaken Singer over the course of his career are false. Perhaps, like most movies that are advertised in one craft or another, Sonja red will end up in a hell of development and all this will be on a theoretical movie. But assuming that Millennium and Cinelou want it to become a hit movie and a new franchise, hire a director and a male screenwriter (Ashley Edward Miller, who co-wrote the excellent movie). X-Men: First class and surprisingly good Thor) make Sonja red, especially a male director like Bryan Singer, was not able to make a good first impression. In any case, it looks like a stick in the eyes of people who would otherwise encourage the film.
