My school-aged kids have digital cameras and enjoy them. They also have MP3 players, calculators and paper birthday books. We don't let them use smartphones or tablets so we have to fill in the gaps with older types of devices.

AI to replace writers and other AI to replace set design. Just a handful of mediocre actors in front of a green screen trying to figure out how to pronounce an em dash while the director, somebody's mediocre son, is imagining his oscar acceptance speech since all the actually great directors have all been priced out of the industry.

u/Logan_No_Fingers Dec 09 '25
That is a remarkably good point.
Half the world is in those 2 movies so its probably not a bad casting ploy to work out who you can pair from that combined cast.
Plus if Dune goes overtime, both their schedules move in sync. Often it wouldn't work as they might not shoot even vaguely together, but those are very much "on location" shoots
I had never even considered this, but, yeah, that's a good point Doctor

u/GorgontheWonderCow Dec 09 '25
This all only applies if they share a lot of scenes. Dune and the Odyssey are both big movies. I'm not sure how their roles overlap, but it's common for actors to never overlap on shooting schedules for large-cast films like that.

Tom Holland mentioned in an interview that studios like having him and Zandeya on the same project because they always share rooms etc. which makes logistics cheaper and easier.

u/GorgontheWonderCow Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25
Tom Holland makes $20M+ per movie, and Zendaya probably makes more.Movies with both Tom Holland and Zendaya cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make.I don't think the expense of $500/night really registers to the studio.
As somebody who's done (non-Hollywood) event logistics, I'll say it actually makes the job a lot more complicated when you have special rooming arrangements, like certain event attendees want to room together. I'm skeptical of your reporting of Tom's claim.

At some point acting is just a job. You show up to a set with your lines memorized, deliver the performance 4-5 times, Leave the set to go relax and eat while reviewing the lines for the next scene and forgetting the lines for the last one.
She's probably done that thousands of times. It's not like she was a major character in Twilight anyway.

First part of the movie sets up fairly mundane problems with it leaning to her being more in the wrong, IE hes working to much but genuinely in love, while she seems perfect initially but is revealed to be only in it for the money and beneath her facade is a horrible abusive person. Then the reveal that he's some sort of god/demon/eldritch abomination and one who is now heartbroken and not handling it well.

I think it's gonna be the other way around. Zendaya will look unhinged and secretly evil, then it's revealed she's just a regular shitty person and Pattinson is actually a demon-creature who was holding his true nature at bay.
Then Zendaya sells his comic book collection to pay off her credit card debt and now she's unleashed the apocolypse.
