Y'all need to Google "Hollywood accounting." A movie is only profitable when the studio says that it's profitable, no matter how much money it takes in.
Back in the '80s, Coming to America made $350 million off a $36 million budget, and Paramount argued in court that it lost so much money they they couldn't possibly pay writer Art Buchwald his share of the profits, because it didn't have any profits at all. That's how Hollywood works. It's all smoke and mirrors and blatant fraud. Yes, the rule of thumb is traditionally that a movie needs to make between 2x to 2.5x its budget to break even after marketing and distribution. But if the studio thinks they can claim a tax write-off by declaring a loss, they'll manipulate the numbers to make sure they find a loss. |

A live-action TV series on Netflix would be a nice change from all the animated stuff. I've found that sometimes Netflix doesn't have the kind of shows I'm looking for, especially live-action ones.
This is why I stopped using Netflix and started using the beste iptv. It's got a lot of different live-action shows, and it's super easy to use. Plus, they have excellent customer service - they answer your questions, making everything more accessible. Last edited by Nictus; 01-22-2024 at 05:50 AM.. |

I would be thrilled to get a Netflix type G.I. Joe Series or a new animated series.. the Classified series would be wild on the big screen if done well!

I've been reimagining GI JOE as a live action show. I posted about it in the live action movie sub forum (https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...e-deserve.html).
It'd be premium series centered on the Dreadnoks that teases the other characters. Zartan leads the 'Noks on a mission for a secret client in a fictional port city called Cape Lavelle. Opposing them; A marine on leave, a ranger stationed in a near by base, a undercover CIA agent and certain redheaded special operative. All thrown together out of neccessity. G.I. Joe is barely in its infancy. Nobody knows who Cobra is or what they want. Every premium series needs a fantastic stylized opening title sequence, and Dreadnoks would be no different. It took 50 hours to craft less than 2 minutes! I knew I wanted a few imporant things. 1) A chaotic collage of images that fit the Dreadnoks persona and promised things we would see in the series afterwards. 2) A slick, sophisticated take on the characters that also paid homage to all of the great aspects of media gone-by. 3) A bad ass intro song, that like all of the shows of the 80's almost always had lyrics. What's a G.I. Joe series without a catchy hook theme song? I made the opening sequence (link below) with AI. All images, video and even the music (although the lyrics are mine). Check out the link in the first comment below, let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/vdnvvq5Bz_s?si=aMapxNxBN47EHS0O |
