A short and direct HOW DOES THAT WORK?
With a lot of folks complaining about films featuring Egyptians that have zero African actors in the film, to me those folks are akin to dogs barking at cars. As stated before I am a fan of Ridley Scott's work but the statement that is being pawned off on us. Scott said he had to assemble the "best possible cast ... on a budget of this scale." The film cost an estimated $140 million. If he made the film with the top 10 Black actors in the world no one would have come to see it." is pure bullsh#t
Excuses like that have been bantered around Hollywood ever since they kicked Lesbians out of the directors chair in the late 1920's, wake up and hear what is being said. Quit accepting what you are told as gospel. Quit regurgitating what you hear. When you prstoteletize the words of others, you reduce their work load. At the exact same time talking about a film that is in the can and ready for release as being the problem you have missed the opportunity to have any impact. I am not saying do not speak out. I suggest that you go back and read some of my earlier post. Specifically the ones that reference information about CSA. There is a reason the "S" stands for society. Now on to our post
Getting a film made in Hollywood or anywhere else for that matter is a complex and long process. Theoretically, it begins when you have an idea that you want to make it happen. From time to time it takes technology a while to catch up with your idea. Sometimes it is that period when you just finished your last project or right before you got green-lit for your next project. Nonetheless here is a view of a small area of getting something done.
In late 2016 Warcraft will hit the big screen. It will have passed the San Diego Comic Con sycophant test, it will have been seen at Cannes. Nothing included in the film at the point when you become aware of it will be able to be changed. This is a truncated path and evolution of this film
Warcraft and the World of Warcraft have become synonymous with gaming. In 1994 Warcraft, Orcs & Humans followed by Warcraft II Tales of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal 1995, 1996 respectively followed by Battle net Edition 1999, Reign of Chaos 2002, Frozen Throne 2003, World of (MMORPG On-line) in 2004. All of those iterations spawned a screen play option in 2006 leading nowhere. Blizzard Entertainment eventually got the owner rights returned to them prior to 2010 and decided that no one could do what they wanted done.
Before 2010 studios, directors, producers and writers attempted to romance Blizzard into accepting something less, Blizzard resisted and kept ownership. Reverting back to its original agreement with Legendary Entertainment from 2006, Blizzard agreed to move forward on commissioning a new script which was completed and green lit in mid 2010. Principal filming was placed on hold until a portion of the technology (Pixar's new version of cloud tech and Renderman) could catch up with the ideas of the production team. Extensive testing of the software was carried out on small test films, costumes, makeup and staging were put together during this hiatus. In real time that means all of 2011 and a large portion of 2012 along with a few script re-writes. In late 2013 basic photography began. In early 2014 principal photography and filming are on track for a early Summer 2014 wrap.
12 to 16 weeks after principal photography began the product is off editors and a grueling schedule for the director. After thousands of edits, music scoring and a lengthy tour in the ADR lab the finished product is being viewed by studio executives and the elite of the elite involved in the making of the film as of December 2014. The marketing staff and everything that it takes to make you want to see the film is being set in place for February 2015 marketing launch. The reason you will be watching this film in Spring 2016 is because Star Wars The Force Awakens is being released for Christmas 2015.
When you tell me that you want to your production of well modestly written material to be the next big thing ask yourself. Are you talking about the 22 year tract or the 10 year tract. If I seem brisk or prickly about your optimism, it is not that I doubt you. I understand how things are done at the major level. There are thousands of steps left out of this explanation as well as there are more steps to be dealt with, know that I am behind you 100 percent if you are willing to endure what it takes to arrive at the desired result.
