F9 The Fast Saga - Pitch Meeting
Dominic Toretto is back, baby! For the ninth time! He’s in his fifties now! The Fast and Furious franchise, which began as a movie about underground street racing is back with an entry which literally goes to space. And Vin Diesel swings a car from a rope like Tarzan. Also, the title is F9, for some reason!
F9: The Fast Saga definitely raises some questions. Like how did Mr Nobody actually make it seem like Han died, specifically? How do none of these thousands of bullets have any impact on any of the main characters? Why does illegal street racing lead to people have such incredible international spy skills? How did Jakob Toretto grow so much in his early twenties? How has Dom the family man never mention the fact that he has a literal brother? Why is Cardi B here?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to F9: The Fast Saga ! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
The mere mention of the word "jungle", Dwayne Johnson is all over it.
Walt Disney struck gold in 2001 when their movie Pirates of the Caribbean, based on a Disney theme park ride, became a massive international hit and made them tons of money. They attempted to adapt other Disney rides into movies, with little to no success. Haunted Mansion, Tomorrowland, Country Bears. Now, 20 years after the first pirates movie - their latest attempt is Jungle Cruise!
Jungle Cruise definitely raises some questions. Like why does this plot sound exactly like The Mummy and like Pirates of the Caribbean at the same time? What’s up with that guy’s face splitting open and snakes jumping out of it? Why does Frank speak perfect modern American English?

You've never seen zombies like this before - they're mostly out of focus!
After several superhero movies and lots of heated discussions online, Zack Snyder is returning to the genre that helped launch his directing career: zombies. Army of the Dead (not a sequel to Dawn of the Dead) is definitely not going to be as controversial as his DC films, but is it a better movie?
Army of the Dead definitely raises some questions. Like is everything so blurry? Why did Tanaka plan a fake heist when he could have just hired them for the thing he really wanted? Why are some zombies robots?! Why does everyone let Martin roam around free when they all suspect he’s up to something. Why didn’t Martin leave once he had what he came for and was standing by the exit? How were they planning on transporting all that cash? How did the Alpha catch up to their helicopter on a horse?

The Tomorrow War has a lot of questions that if asked we'd never have a movie.
Chris Pratt made the leap to action movie star back in 2014 with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and he’s been on that path ever since.
The Tomorrow War definitely raises some questions. Like why do they mention only recruiting people that are deceased in the future if almost everyone is? Why did Dan dive off a platform to try and save Muri? What was the point of spending the whole movie working on a toxin if they just used explosives in the end?

Pretty much every character boils down to what they do for a living.
After the success of The Sixth Sense, M. Night Shyamalan was being called “the next Spielberg.”
His latest film OLD definitely raises some questions. Like how has nobody looked into the resort where hundreds of people disappear? Why did they use a famous rapper as a test subject if they’re trying to lay low? If dead cells aren’t affected by the beach, why did Mid-Sized Sedan’s girlfriend decompose so quicky? Why is there a character named Mid-Sized Sedan? What’s up with that baby thing? Why didn’t anyone attempt the most reasonable plan that was suggested?

Massively popular franchises movies drift into this self-plagiarism and the characters become parodies of themselves.
Jack Sparrow played by Johnny Depp became an iconic movie character in the early 2000’s with Pirates of the Caribbean which, as successful movies often do, got two sequels to make an epic trilogy that made billions of dollars. But because there was still a chance to cash in on the popularity, a fourth installment came just a few years later- with most of the cast not returning.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides definitely raises some questions. Like are we just following a formula now? Is everything now explained with magic? How many different things can the Fountain of Youth do?

You remember Suicide Squad from 2016 that everyone hated? We thought we'll make another one and add "The" to the title.
2016’s Suicide Squad movie by David Ayer had a massive amount of hype surrounding it before release, but unfortunately once the movie came out-- critics and fans alike expressed their disappointment with the film. However, the film made a good amount of money and had a few breakout characters, so here we are for a sequel! Kind of.
But it does raise many questions: Like does anyone survive this thing? Why does Bloodsport have the same skills and motivation as Deadshot? Why don’t these people have tattoos on their foreheads?

"So technically we can make an origin movie for the Baroness if we contrast her with someone more evil"
In the past few years, Walt Disney has fallen in love with the idea of churning out live-action remakes and spinoffs of their beloved animated classics. Movies like Mulan, The Jungle Book, The Lion King, Aladdin and more have all gotten the live-action. Now, it’s the turn of 101 Dalmatians. Kind of.
Cruella definitely raises some questions. Like what’s up with all the music? How did Cruella set up that parachute? Are Pongo and Perdita brother and sister?
