    Fans are, and have always been, fickle. The internet exposed this, but it was always there.

    In my defense, I didn't like Ragnarok either, as you know. I was a Taika denier before it was cool. :) ;)

    If the sun rises in the west, that would be newsworthy. :p

    That's two people online saying the sun rose in the west. So, confirmed. Will see if I can get Doomcock to mention it on his next transmission.

    I watched Next Goal Wins again (I was one of the few who saw it in theaters) and Fassbender perpetually drunken angry coach is a hoot in that one. I still hope this movie happens somehow

    ...at least it would be more exciting than what's going on in Star Wars news these days, that's for sure!



    Not to mention more reliable...

    Yeah, this is not coming out now anytime soon.even though reports is from dubious source, Taika is simply not that interested in making a star wars movie.

    That's ok. I'm not that interested in Taika making a Star Wars movie either.

    I am quite literally on my hands and knees begging you to share named sources with links instead of just vaguely alluding to “reports […] from dubious source” when you say stuff like this.

    I have no idea who "Daniel leaker guy" refers to, but to me the main takeaway there was the "dubious sources". I think Fredrik probably has a decent opinion about whether they're dubious. There are often lots of dubious sources saying things that are either not believable, OR that might be believable but are vague and kind of hard to confirm one way or the other.

    Edit: I also agree with the part saying, "Taika is simply not that interested in making a star wars movie." That's how it seems, at least.

    I think for now all leaks are dubious even Jeff Sneider.

    I want my Jaxxon/Jar Jar team up film! I have no sources but that’s obviously what this would be.

    Daniel RPK. He used to be pretty accurate with mcu scoops, but lately his track record hasn’t been so great.

    4 years out from an announcement without even a faint rumor of actual production being anywhere on the horizon is enough ammo for a click bait scooper to invent any scenario.

    No it's totally happening. Rian's trilogy too. Production troubles aren't real. OPEN YOUR MIND.

    This film has been known to be dead for about two years now. When a film gets announced and there's literally no movement on it thereafter, it doesn't take a "scooper" to connect the dots. I know what Development Hell is and how it works. I genuinely think these scoopers think us "normies" are stupid, and take advantage of that by creating stories out of nothing more than common sense.

    I think I'm finally starting to accept that LFL is no longer a film production company. It's now a film announcing company.

    Well, they've certainly produced a lot of announcements.

    It's a testament to how dead we all assume this movie is that this recent quote from Waititi hasn't been shared yet.

    “What was ever alive? What is death? You know, death is just a new opportunity. More life to grow and flourish. Everything’s always in development. My advice for any filmmaker is, ‘Just say yes to everything.’ Because, you know, things come and go. And you never know what stage things are. And I’ve been attached to things that have disappeared for three years and then bubbled back up. I’m like, ‘Oh, I thought that thing was dead. Now I’ve got to go do that again.”
