Baryon sweep is on standby. Now don’t none of you get any fool notions about walking away with the server’s accumulated trilithium resin.
Stuff’s highly unstable.
ok that gif is slightly misleading there were no exploding plasma conduits it was literally down for thirty seconds it didn’t even register on lemmy-status (thank you for letting us know)
Pay no attention to the fact I just accidentally posted everything with my alt account because I forgot to switch back over to this one on my app. No Sir. Didn’t happen.
The film cost them $72 million to make, so this is a $42 million loss. If they actually released the movie they probably would have at least broke even. I have a hard time seeing it not making more than they just wrote off.
This recent tax write-off bullshit needs to stop. How is this a thing only now or have we been missing out on decades of movies that were axed like this?
Until recently, stars could not foresee that technology would enable the use of their screen work for any reason other than the intended purpose. As today's actors become aware of this, legal experts profess, their wills could become more specific as to how they want to be cast after the final curtain has fallen. But even the most protective of estates may not be prepared for today's body-snatching technologies.
"People are working on totally digital models of people," says Joseph Beard, professor of law at St. John's University and author of "Casting Call at Forest Lawn: The Digital resurrection of Deceased Entertainers" (High Technology Law Journal, 1993). "Instead of cutting them out of an existing film, you'll be able to create a Marilyn Monroe and not rely on old films in order to put her in something new."
I think it’s only in the last decade or so that it’s become a practical reality, with likenesses of deceased actors popping up in films. Until this point, it’s probably been enough of a hypothetical that it wasn’t worth fighting over.
I just wanted to point out how amazing it is that the Sistine Chapel was painted 541 years ago and is still emulated in art such as this thumbnail. That’s crazy!
