I mean Corman's movies still had great matte paintings and miniatures to create a sense of scale that they couldn't accomplish on such a low budget. Hell even look at the Fantastic Four 1994 movie, it's cheap, but it does the best job possible at trying to make a superhero movie on a $1 million budget. In fact, the Thing costume looks better in that than in the adaptations afterward haha

"marble hornets" is an early YouTube ARG with practically zero budget that used a combination of POV, conservative shaky cam, "Slenderman" camera distortions and basic CGI. (Fun fact, this series is also the origin of the modern Slenderman)

The result is one of the most compelling and interesting amateur films I've ever witnessed

It should have been 7 seconds instead of 10 seconds, you’re right. We can argue until the sun goes down about whether or not it should have been in the film, but there is no real benefit to overstating it like that.

>Hell, it would have worked better for Ender's Game because the book takes place over several years. Allowing the kids to grow up a little would work perfectly for the filming schedule.

All time, great sci-fi book(s). Never say never, still could happen, lots of IP material is being repackaged.

I did that in the points above

>You asked people to elaborate in another comment and now you are obviously taking offense.

Yeah no I'm not taking offense, gotta be honest, I did just want to hear people out, then I woke up and I was sick and I get bored really fast at home, so this was just something to keep me busy, sorry if I harassed you or something, everyone can have their own opinion

David Fincher’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and his World War Z 2. Sure the first WWZ movie was different from the book, but I still liked it. But Fincher making the sequel would have been quite interesting. IIRC, he was adamant about having a $190mil budget but the studio wouldn’t sign off on it. Sure, he’d probably do a lot of takes but I doubt he’d use a dollar more (nor need to reshoot the whole 3rd act)
