Chapter 907: Many Blockbusters

Long before the release date of "Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue" was announced, many films had announced their release dates.

The first film to open the summer season is "Iron Man 3," Marvel Studios' first film after "The Avengers," which is scheduled to be released on May rd.

The second film, "Thor 2: The Dark World", will be released on November , continuing the second phase of the Marvel Universe.

Two weeks after "Iron Man 3", "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" directed by Peter Jackson will be released on May 3, which is also the final film in the series.

Two weeks later, on May 6st, it will be "Fast & Furious 2077", and two weeks after that it will be "Cyberpunk : Prologue" directed by Gilbert Jr.

These are all related to Little Gilbert, and the movies released by Disney are all good hits in the summer season.

This evenly distributed release schedule is a headache for other film companies. None of the above is easy to deal with, but the others cannot all be squeezed in behind.

Not only is it embarrassing, but there are so many blockbusters released this year, and the schedule later on is too crowded.

So these films were released in time. The sequel to the classic science fiction film "Star Trek Into Darkness" produced and released by Paramount was scheduled to be released on May 2th.

We have to say that Paramount is very bold, because with "Iron Man 3" before it and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" after it, if one is not careful, it will be caught in a dilemma and end up in failure.

But there is no way, as there are no good schedules after that, and Paramount believes that the previous film achieved good results, and with the reputation of the sequel, it is still worth a try.

"The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio is scheduled to be released on May 24th, and an animated film "Jungle Warriors" will be released at the same time.

Warner Bros.' first DC Universe film after The Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel, will be released on June 7.

This film is the pioneering work of the DC Universe. Warner Pictures CEO Qi Li Ross said at the press conference: "We will redefine the superhero movie universe. DC is ushering in a brilliant future."

Gilbert's fans are disdainful of this statement, because Gilbert has already created brilliant achievements for DC Films.

A fan left a message under the video of the press conference: "If you can surpass the results of The Dark Knight Trilogy, I will stand on my head and eat shit."

This comment received a lot of likes, but many people also said that there are more than one Gilbert directors in Hollywood, so what if other directors can also do it?

Others pointed the finger at the fans: "It is because of your mindless boasting that so many people hate Gilbert Jr. You are the source of Gilbert Jr.'s many haters."

This statement is true to some extent, but Gilbert Jr.'s fanatical fans would certainly disagree.

"Would we have attacked you if you hadn't discredited Gilbert Jr.'s movie? And the movie was great."

"Little Gilbert's film is good, but it is not without flaws. Is it a smear to point out the flaws?"

"That's not a reason for you to smear them too much?"

There is no end to this kind of verbal battle. Both sides eventually return to personal attacks and then become exhausted. There is no winner and everyone is left feeling angry.

However, this time, not only movie fans doubt whether Warner can do a good job in the DC Universe, but many people in the industry also expressed doubts.

Is DC going to follow the serious and realistic path left by Gilbert Jr., or is it going to go for the light-hearted and entertaining path like Marvel?

This is a problem, and Warner Bros. is currently in confusion, mainly because Kiri Rose is hesitant.

Because following the "Dark Knight" series, it proves that the route planned by Gilbert Jr. for DC is correct. But this is not what Qili Rose wants, she wants to eliminate Gilbert Jr.'s influence on the DC universe.

But if you turn to the entertainment route, it will be the same as Marvel. Unfortunately, Marvel is also under the full control of Gilbert Jr. You said you wanted to get rid of Gilbert Jr.'s influence, but in the end you still imitated his style.

So the final film is very awkward. Man of Steel wants to be entertaining, but also takes a serious approach, and ends up being a hodgepodge.

Of course, this was told to him by Gilbert Jr.'s acquaintances within Warner.

It is said that many Warner Bros. executives were very dissatisfied with the final result of the film, but as a project led by Kiri Ross, the film was still firmly scheduled.

Another film affected is "Logan" starring Hugh Jackman.

Because the release date of Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue was set a little late this time, and Logan 2 had already announced its release date. But when Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue was also released in this period, th Century Fox was a little dumbfounded.

As we all know, Gilbert Jr. has been active in Hollywood for more than 20 years. Except for the first few years of his career, he has been a tough opponent in the summer season.

Almost everyone who tried to challenge Gilbert Jr. in the summer season failed miserably, and even if they managed to resist, it was difficult to sustain.

So 2th Century Fox was a little timid and wanted to move the release date of "Logan" to a later date, but they were afraid of losing face, so they didn't move it.

At the same time, 20th Century Fox was also considering a question: whether Gilbert Jr. deliberately chose this time slot.

You should know that the movie "Wolverine" is adapted from Marvel Comics. Now that Marvel has money, it is gradually recovering the superhero copyrights.

The "X-Men" series is definitely one of the targets, so Gilbert Jr. deliberately used his own work to snipe "Logan".

20th Century Fox doesn't have any better solution for this problem. It can only hope that the quality of the film is good enough to withstand the impact of Gilbert Jr.'s new movie.

With films like "The Hangover 3", "Despicable Me 2", "World War Z" and "Pacific Rim" coming up, the 2013 summer season will be very lively.

It can be seen from the above movie release list that most of the films are sequels, and there are very few original films.

This seems to once again confirm the saying that original movies are dead. These original movies are more concentrated in the spring or autumn seasons, and few are released in the summer season.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on the film companies. Ultimately, it is the audience's choice.

After all, there are only a few special directors like Gilbert Jr. in Hollywood. Last year's "Gravity" was shocking enough, an original science fiction film that made more than 800 million US dollars at the box office.

However, this year's "Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue" is an adaptation and, in a sense, a sequel.

It can be seen that even for Gilbert Jr., it is impossible to make original films all the time.

Taking advantage of the topic of the death of originality, some fans of Little Gilbert have counted the box office performances of Little Gilbert's original films and found that they are all quite good.

“The Shallows, Final Destination, Speed, The Rock, The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Last of Us, Inception, and the latest Gravity.

We can find that since Gilbert Jr. entered the film industry in 1991, almost half of the films he directed are original films.

And almost every one of them has achieved remarkable results, and some have even become classics of their time.”

The final conclusion is: "Without Little Gilbert, Hollywood's original movies are dead." (End of this chapter)
