Star Wars CANCELS "Dawn of the Jedi" + Is Dave Filoni Ruining the Franchise?

from The NerdGen Report · host Pablo I Solano

In this episode of The Nerd Gen Report (The Void), we break down the shocking cancellation of a massive Star Wars movie, Terrence Howard's violent threat that cost him his Marvel career, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's potential return to his most iconic action roles.In this video:Dawn of the Jedi CANCELED: The James Mangold Star Wars origin movie is officially dead. We discuss why Dave Filoni and Disney are too afraid to make a "biblical epic" that establishes the definitive rules of the Force, constantly retreating from daring ideas.The Terrence Howard Iron Man Drama: Howard revealed he threatened to knock producer Joel Silver's teeth out over billing on The Brave One (which Susan Downey produced), leading to his firing from Iron Man 2. We also debate if his version of War Machine was actually better than Don Cheadle's.Denzel Washington's Hannibal: Denzel is finally making his dream movie about the Carthaginian general Hannibal with director Antoine Fuqua. However, we explain our massive concern: will he actually embody the historical figure, or is he just going to play "Denzel" in ancient armor?.Arnold Schwarzenegger Sequels: Studios are trying to milk Arnold by asking him to return for Predator, Commando, and Conan. We discuss why a Predator legacy sequel with director Dan Trachtenberg could actually work, but why Commando is a terrible idea.What We're Watching: Brian reviews Alan Ritchson's new Netflix action movie War Machine, calling it a fun "modern riff on Predator" despite a weak CGI robot. Plus, Pablo revisits the 1990s animated Spider-Man series, and we praise the legendary hallway fights in Netflix's Daredevil.
