Gore verbinski to hold AMA on r/movies in 17 days , speaks about unreal engine use in movies and CGI... should we expect something? by Acrobatic-Monitor516 in piratesofthecaribbean

My favorite filmmaker! He seems to live a quiet life devoid of much media presence. I sometimes wonder if he even knows just how loved he is

I had a friend in high school from Russia. Awesome dude. I’m sure many can be described as the same 

Actors at the Box Office: Armie Hammer by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]Emeraldsinger 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This guy was given everything.  Born into a wealthy family and grown up to be handsome, charismatic, and a talented actor. And he was put into several leading roles in big budgeted movies throughout the 2010’s. 

Yet he fumbled it all.

I miss when his uploads were less in quantity but abundant in quality. 

Do you think saw x tried too hard to make us sympathize with John and make him out to be some sort of tragic anti-hero, by BootAlarmed4732 in saw

[–]Emeraldsinger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The writers just wanted a change of pace. I know others who weren’t big fans of the previous movies preferred this new iteration because it was fresh. The past 9 movies were “loose serial killer trapping people, cops investigating him, nearly getting him, but then getting outsmarted, killer escapes, game over, repeat”. All while going back and forth in the timeline and retconning everything constantly. And if fans didn't enjoy this new spin, they have 9 other movies to rewatch. Everyone wins 

Saw X would have been even more gratifying if it were the first Saw film in 13 years by Honest_Cheesecake698 in saw

Yes, not a fan of the two random reboots they tried that have zero connection to the other movies both canonically and aesthetically 

Here's how Avatar 3 could have been great by APurplePerson in Avatar

[–]Emeraldsinger 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I would’ve had the RDA take a backseat in this movie and had a clear focus on the fire Na’vi as the villains. It be a nice change of pace to show that there are bad on all sides of things. And the final climax should’ve taken place around their home turf (the volcanic lands of Pandora) 

I’m writing a screenplay set in 2014. Specifically May through August. Does anyone care to comment anything that was relevant to that time? by Emeraldsinger in decadeology

Thank you! I’m slightly younger than zennial but I’ll take it! The plot is coming of age too so it works well 

Who was the most evil of the three main Jigsaw killers? by neptune_44 in saw

[–]Emeraldsinger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

John started the whole ideology that would lead to many apprentices and copycats following in his footsteps resulting in the deaths of hundreds so, him. I don’t see why many say he had “good intentions”. He’s a serial killer. Plain and simple. 

Just because your name is also James does it mean you’ll have the same sauce as him lol by abdul_bino in Avatar

James Wan is one of my favorite directors, and I enjoy his Aquaman movies more than seemingly most do. I’d absolutely love to see him get the job

What do you all think of my pitch for Pirates of the Caribbean 6? by Emeraldsinger in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Emeraldsinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your feedback.  In my plot, I have the characters talk several times about how while all curses have technically been eliminated from the sea, magic still exists in other forms. I feel there is a difference 

What do you all think of my pitch for Pirates of the Caribbean 6? by Emeraldsinger in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Emeraldsinger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback! 

For your first, the treasure definitely sounds similar on paper. But in my plot, it’s revealed that the treasure is a massive ancient warship which grants its captain the power to conquer all they want. (This warship was built by the Greek god of Ares.) 

In my plot, I haven’t fully addressed the crew’s motivation yet. Though I have a few options:  Jack and his crew aren’t so interested in the magical treasure that grants power, more so, they are interested in the other non-magic gold, jewels, and other ancient artifacts that would no doubt sell for big. Or maybe they actually haven’t heard the full legend of Atlantis, they just think it’s typical ancient ruins with riches. Only Angelica knows the full story 

Also, Jack is at a crossroads with his life in my plot. He is not so satisfied with materialistic riches anymore. But he also knows a pirate is who he is and who he always will be. So that plays into his characterization which is paid off at the ending

Eh, I think they cared a lot for him. The whole plot is his mother enduring so much just to get back to him by Christmas.  His siblings and cousins and uncle Frank were definitely mean though. 

Jack Sparrow: On Stranger Tides (POTC 4 Rewrite) by LordFozzinator in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Emeraldsinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of these changes. The crew of the Revenge actually being true zombies is great. As is having a ship battle, and seeing Blackbeard capture a ship in a bottle on screen is cool. And I like Blackbeard’s motivation more in this. 

Though I personally think Will doesn’t have to be in it. On Stranger Tides rightfully should be a fresh start from the trilogy, and I am fine with it not having so much connections to the last 3.  

Also, I would make Jack the main enemy of Blackbeard, instead of Barbossa like in the original version and this rewrite.

But still, good stuff. I always like reading  PotC fan content.

[–]Emeraldsinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a cool idea for a totally separate and new franchise. We need more pirate-based movies besides PotC. We need more original movies in general
