STX Trims Theatrical Distribution & Marketing In Pivot Toward More Hybrid & Streaming Releases deadline.com/2022/04/stx-layoffs-1235002775/EXCLUSIVE: We hear that STX Entertainment has made cuts, notably in its theatrical distribution and marketing departments in the lower-level executive tiers and down. The news comes as STX is pivoting away from 12 theatrical releases a year and more toward a multi-tiered distribution model. It plans to make 15 films a year, with five destined for the big screen and the balance split between straight-to-streaming or international theatrically distributed PVOD or direct-to-streaming titles. STX is reorganizing itself financially, de-merging from Eros and segueing to the Najafi Companies. There was an option on the table to have STX absorbed by Lionsgate, both library and staff — a bid STX full-out rejected, I hear, so that it can remain an independent studio. Two films were placed separately in bankruptcy under shell companies of late: Greenland 2 and the Chris Pine-Ben Foster movie The Contractor. This was a means of protecting those features so the studio can monetize them on the other side of completing its transaction with Najafi. |

Jamie Dornan blasts casting critics for typecasting actors Jamie Dornan is getting sick and tired of casting critics taking actors to task for accepting prominent roles. Dornan, who played Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, recently spoke with Esquire about his frustrations, and he was not shy about letting the expletives fly. “Prejudgment is such a fucking disease,” Dornan told Esquire. “It’s a disease in all our culture. In my line of work, sure. But in general, people prejudge people based on fucking anything really, and it’s very sad. Look at the reaction when Rob got cast as Batman. It was like 90 percent negative.” Dornan added, “Daniel Craig got cast as James Bond — I mean, that was 100 percent negative. It was vile what was written. It was actually disturbing when you see the fucking venomous anger that people have over casting decisions. And then guess what? Daniel Craig is fucking brilliant, and it changes the whole energy of Bond.” Additionally, “all the naysayers love what Rob has done with Batman,” Dornan said about his friend, Robert Pattinson, playing the World’s Greatest Detective. www.joblo.com/jamie-dornan-blasts-critics/?fbclid=IwAR31jaLOjEoqu9dxOmLNCIWSTaav2vl9BBTPaeUqLQhBgKgPaQYT44PeV7M |

Bit long, but worth it. John and Rob going at it is hilarious. Even Kris told me she ran out of gin half-way though. xD

No idea why they killed off the DC Animated Universe, as well as Justice League.
The team that Feige has that are the creatives and the business is unmatched. That cannot be replicated. Unless they empower Jim Lee.
This could have been Didio and they showed him the door. Maybe a Paul Dini?

Do you mean the DCAU as in Batman TAS or the DCAMU like the DTV movies that have come out for a while now? |

Both.
The DCUA ended with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

This account is kinda schizophrenic. At times it's trying to be legit and other times it acts like a parody account. So not sure how accurate this is.

It made me laugh they blame it on password sharing. Nope, had nothing to do with another price increase and canceled shows.

Netflix: Hey you know this show we just made that you like? Well F*** you we're canceling it!

Literally the only thing keeping them afloat is Stranger Things and Cobra Kai.

I really enjoyed the Dark Crystal Netflix series. So much creativity in that series just flushed down the toilet. No wonder Netflix is losing money when they introduce something new to get people invested then they stop it. By this I am surprised Stranger Things has lasted as long as it has. Wonder what Netflix are gonna do once Season 5 has aired, since that is the final season and there won't be any more.
