But definitely, we're in the building stages right now." He added: "We're not 100-per-cent sure on the approach to the show.
WATERWORLD MOVIE WATCH ONLINE SERIES
While Fox didn't mention any specific actors, he acknowledged the series would take place "20 years later. Particularly when they're the opinions of "journalists" still paying their bills with their sick 90's burns on Kevin Costner.According to the producers, the series won't be a reboot but a continuation, following the characters from the original. The internet does not actually require you to rewrite the last comment/list entry you agreed with. Either learn the actual history (and enough film education to recognize particular flavors of greatness), or just read. LotR was the next truly epic film to tackle such a comprehensive creative effort, and that production itself benefited tremendously by avoiding the historic efforts of Waterworld in favor of miniatures and good landscapes.Īll because some pre-9/11 humans got put off by a movie actor's existence and creative efforts.Īnd to be clear, historical insight doesn't take the form of modern movie criticism. You can see how the system pulled back to controlled interiors and slooowly progressing CG technology. The backlash/grumbling over the set reports and budget reports directly led to a studio system utterly terrified of such grand, practical designs. Blade Runner rules, and if you think that's an absurd comparison.you're a dummy. (Yeah, when we're still talking about the flick in twenty years, we get to point out that its contemporary detractors were dummies. An artifact which has only gained artistic and cultural merits as generations continue to drone on and on on the internet about the superiority of practical effects.which the ignorant public perception of this film helped drive into extinction. It's nothing to do with the film itself, because it's the history of this particular cultural artifact. Some people just want to watch cultural artifacts burn, and those people came out in force to act real sick of Coster's career successes. But it's also not the kind of movie that is going to pull people in if they aren't predisposed to liking that genre of movie to begin with. I personally don't think there's anything about the movie that deserves the derision that it received at the time it was released. What it amounts to is the Waterworld was a huge gamble, and, while it made sense for Costner to play that role because of its physicality, the gamble just didn't pay off.
It raises the stakes when it comes to box office performance. People who liked Costner in movies with classic American themes weren't just going to follow him into this film about a post-apocalyptic world where there's no dry land and soil becomes a form of currency.įurthermore, any film that involves large amounts of water is extremely expensive to produce. Robin Hood was a stretch, but it was a popular movie.Īfter all that, Waterworld was just too much for a lot of people. So the problem was that he created a fandom based on films like No Way Out, Dances with Wolves, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, JFK, and The Bodyguard. As soon as he strays from that template, people start experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance. He is great at playing earnest, taciturn, traditionally masculine and classically American roles. But he also has a somewhat limited range. He also has a classic Midwestern appearance. He can ride horses, swim, play sports, etc., and he can pull all those things off on camera. Kevin Costner is a tall, naturally athletic actor. It's almost like some people want them to fail at that point. But as soon as one or two of their movies flop, the tide turns against them. So, they end up playing lead roles in one or more movies per year for several years in a row, do a lot of promotional interviews, etc.
When movie stars break out, they suddenly get a ton of job offers, and, because the industry is so fickle, they need to take advantage of their popularity while they can. This is a timely issue, because I think a similar phenomenon is happening with Johnny Depp, and, to a lesser extent, Jennifer Lawrence. IMO, there were a few related reasons, largely stemming from audience fatigue with respect to Kevin Costner.
