Marvel Cinematic Universe

[ЦыганскийКосмодесант]

Да и вообще, фильмы Марвел требуют домашнего кинотеатра, а у меня ноутбук. Поэтому я отдам предпочтение фильмам-театрам, тем же "псам".

 

 

Я просто исследую влияние кино на умы и жизни.

 

Братан, харе употреблять Ты или пытаешься толсто тролить или прекращай баловаться с веществами. Многие рассматривают кино чисто как развлечение или чтобы отвлечься. Я просто не пойму зачем тебе ноут или телевизор раз тебе актеры и спортсмены "что-то должны" и "зачем я должен на них тратить время?"

Пишут, что причиной увольнения Алонсо стал фильм «Аргентина, 1985»

The Oscar-nominated drama Argentina, 1985 was at the center of last week’s sudden firing of longtime Marvel Studios executive Victoria Alonso, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

 

Alonso was one of the eight producers of the international production that was distributed by Amazon. However, by doing so, she breached her contract, several times, according to sources. After repeated warnings, the situation came to a head the week after the Oscars and ultimately led to her termination. It was a seismic shakeup at Marvel, where for years Alonso was part of the holy trinity — along with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D’Esposito — who led the Marvel Cinematic Universe to ever-greater heights.

 

According to insiders, Alonso breached an 2018 agreement that saw her violate the company’s standards of business conduct that stated employees would not work for competing studios.

 

Sources say that Alonso did not ask permission to work on Argentina, 1985 nor did she give notice but did the film of her own volition. (However, an IndieWire published last month on the film stated that she did have permission for the film.) When Disney found out about the project and the violation, her longtime service and veteran status engendered the company to give her a dispensation on the condition she would not work on the movie further. She was to also not promote it or publicize it in any way. The situation of a top executive working on a movie outside company confines was deemed serious enough to involved the management audit team and a new memo was signed, according to an insider.

 

The film premiered in September 2022 at the Venice International Film Festival and soon the drama was on the awards track. Alonso then found herself front and center in the circuit of screenings and Q&As, panels and interviews.

 

According to sources, she was reminded of her agreement and her breach several times but the appearances continued. She even appeared on the Oscars arrivals carpet not as a Marvel executive associated with Marvel’s multi-nominated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever but rather as a producer, walking with her film’s director, Santiago Mitre.

 

What also rankled Disney executives was that while she worked on the promotion of her movie, her purview of Marvel’s visual effects as president of physical and postproduction, visual effects and animation production was busier than ever.

 

Throughout the last year or so, as Marvel put out an unprecedented level of series and movies, a general impression emerged that VFX artists were not well treated by Marvel, attributed to factors including long hours, razor-sharp deadlines and a lack of a singular vision.

 

Movies, including the February release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, have come under fire for sub-par visual effects work while Alonso’s reputation became more and more polarizing.

 

“You can only ask a person to stay until 1 a.m. working on VFX shots for so long before things start to break,” says one post-production source. Another post-production talent says they have avoided working with Marvel because of Alonso’s reputation for being challenging.

 

Still, she had her supporters, including Eternals star Salma Hayek, who called her “best jefa ever” in December 2021 post.

 

In any case, things came to a head post-Oscars, and Alonso was terminated for cause.

 

For the Buenos Ares-born Alonso, Argentina, 1985 was a personal tale. The feature stars Ricardo Darin as Julio Cesar Strassera, the prosecutor who led case against those behind Argentina’s reign of military terror that led to the disappearance of 30,000 people. “I’ve made a lot of stories about superheroes,” Alonso told IndieWire in the story published last month. “And I’ve always wanted to tell a story about what happened in Argentina, because I should have been one of those 30,000 people.”

 

Alonso’s firing was sudden and shocked the town because of the hushed nature. Some have speculated that Alonso was being silenced because she was an outspoken against Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. “As long as I am at Marvel Studios, I will fight for representation,” Alonso, who is gay, said at the time. Disney took a stand against the bill, resulting in a clash with state government and ultimately the loss of a special tax status. It is a move that will likely cost the company millions.

 

But other sources say that being vocal had only increased Alonso’s profile within the company. She was asked to represent the company on the board of GLAAD, joined the company’s Pride 365 leadership team, and made a deal with the company’s publishing division to write a memoir.

 

In any case, the VFX industry will be closely watching what follows. Marvel is one the largest VFX clients because of the scope of its work — its tentpoles regularly had in excess of 2,000 VFX shots, sometimes more than a whopping 3,000 per movie.

 

It is unclear who will take over for Alonso in the interim — at least some vendors now are working with VFX producer Jen Underdahl for now. Insiders acknowledge whoever assumes her duties could face similar challenges to Alonso, who helped put out the unprecedented 18 films, TV shows and specials that Marvels released in 2021-22.

 

Says one VFX pro: “Whatever criticisms are being leveled against her, she’s not an island. Part of the problem is the aggressive release schedules.”

 

That aggressive schedule could already be in the rearview mirror, however, as returning CEO Bob Iger has stated an intention to slow down Marvel’s output.

Victoria Alonso Attorney Blasts ‘Ridiculous’ Claim She Was Fired Over ‘Argentina, 1985,’ Says Executive Was ‘Silenced’ by Disney

In a statement to Variety, attorney Patty Glaser, who is representing Alonso in her departure from Disney, instead claims that the executive was “silenced” by Disney, and that she had the studio’s “blessing” to work on “Argentina, 1985.”

 

“The idea that Victoria was fired over a handful of press interviews relating to a personal passion project about human rights and democracy that was nominated for an Oscar and which she got Disney’s blessing to work on is absolutely ridiculous,” Glaser says. “Victoria, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced. Then she was terminated when she refused to do something she believed was reprehensible. Disney and Marvel made a really poor decision that will have serious consequences. There is a lot more to this story and Victoria will be telling it shortly—in one forum or another.”

 

A source close to the matter also says that following Alonso’s remarks at the 2022 GLAAD awards, in which she called out then-CEO Bob Chapek by name for his reaction to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, she was told she could no longer do press for Marvel projects.

Смотрите, мы уволили прогрессивную латинскую лесбуху, а теперь увольняем старого белого трамписта маразматика.

 

Какие претензии?

[Kranker]

и че, фига окончательно диктатуру установит?

[Jdalker]

Ничеси, он до сих пор сидел там?! Ему лет 100 уже, давно пора. Но заголовок красивый, помнится он и продал Марвел Диснею.

On Wednesday, Disney also laid off Rob Steffens, co-president of Marvel Entertainment, and John Turitzin, chief counsel for the division.

На самом деле они прилично жирка режут. Не только работяги отлетают.

Попутного ветра в жопу.

Правда он уже, по-моему, сугубо декоративную роль играл, но всё равно нахер этого маразматика старого.

А есть гарантии что не придут люди на подобии Кэтлин Кэннеди, и которые будут делать фильмы еще хуже?

Former Marvel executive, Victoria Alonso, reportedly told a Marvel director that a former Marvel director, who directed one of the biggest movies the studio has ever put out, did not direct the movie, but that we (MARVEL) direct the movies.

Максимкул всегда был прав

[Dark_Hierophant]

Она подразумевает, что это ОНА режиссировала)))

[the stainless steel rat]

Согласен. После перехода от парамаунтов к мыши пошла нейросеть и оно само себя снимало с переменным успехом, но в 4 фазе видать серваки отключили и корыто тонет.

Кто-то ещё продолжает убеждать себя, что это не так, но этот титаник уже встретился с айсбергом и медленно погружается на дно, а увольнения как музыканты на палубе.

[Jdalker]

Максимкул всегда был прав

Уидону чтоли?

Хорошо, что Бабку выставили на мороз. Всегда бесят такие зажравшиеся чсвншницы. Понятно, что все и все понимают, но вытирать ноги об людей признак недалекого ума. Наверняка еще фантазировала себе, что она там заправляет всем, а Фига у нее на подсосе.

Какая слоупочная статья. Лет 8 назад ещё в курсе все были

[Jdalker]

Насколько я помню по Черной вдове не в эффектах дело, а в целом в постановке экшена, типо режиссеры не участвуют в полной мере. Вот вам актеры, занимайтесь с ними, а экшеном займутся профессионалы.
