Why is nobody making epics anymore?
>>69247218
You didn't see Prometheus?
>>69247218
They did one recently, it was called Batman v Superman
Because after Benioff's Troy failure at the box office Hollywood is scared of losing money.
more like epic fails, amirite? XD
Derek Walcott published Omeros in 1990. That's not THAT long ago.
>Alexander the Great
>Troy
>Kingdom of Heaven
all shit. all box office flops.
hollywood likes to make money, not lose it.
>>69247218
Because everyone's watching capeshit
>>69247233
Did YOU see prometheus?!
Exodus was bretty epic.
also shit.
Because they suck
Troy flopped in the United States. But it's worldwide takings made it one of the highest grossing films of its time.
Also Troy is good, and only plebs disagree.
>>69247310
Kingdom of Heaven was fucking awesome.
>>69247370
the theatrical version wasnt. caused it to bomb hard.
>>69247352
What the fuck is a "bioscoop"?
>>69247392
Cinema in dutch
>>69247218
because the few epics they do make are about stupid shit instead of sticking to Rome so they flop.
People are too jaded for epics
>>69247392
probably cinemascope.
Prometheus was the last one.
The problem with these types of films are, they're too intelligent, people either want quips or the film to pander to their political ideologies (/pol/tards/SJWs) so these types of films won't be as successful
America isnt taught world history above babby level so there is no interest in the Epics anymore.
>>69247459
>they're too intelligent
>Prometheus
come on
>tfw no epic on the Xenophon's 10 000 thousand expedition across the Persian Empire
>tfw no epic of based leadership and based greeks ,surviving and eluding the vastly outnumbering persians
>>69247459
>>69247233
> CGI all the way
> epic
pick one.
a million CGI soldiers copy and pasted is not "epic" you plebs.
Will he revive them after his Viking epic beats AVATAR tenfold?
>>69247218
You mean GOOD epics.
why spend more money and make less
when you can spend less and make more money?
What do you even call an epic?
WE
WAZ
ARABS
*HIDES LISP*
They're still getting made, though
>>69247354
That movie ends when Hector dies.
>>69247772
Your DVD might be broken m8. It ends with them burning Achilles body and Odysseus says he lived in the time of Achilles.
>>69247567
>Will he revive them after his Viking epic beats AVATAR tenfold?
Probably, he's a competent director and I bet his Viking movie will be even better than Braveheart.
I would love to see Mel Gibson portray Constantine XI in the fall of Constantinople to be honest, he's how I kind of imagined him to look in real life.
>>69247911
Plot twist, Odysseus gets lost on his way home
>>69247640
This was a work of art.
>>69247218
They got replaced by Hella f*ckin' epics.
>>69247218
It's been like a year or two since Scott's Exodus.
>>69247218
>Who is Paul Thomad Anderson?
>>69247273
>Troy
Compared to cgi fests like 300, I think we need a return to practical sets and hiring more background extras
>>69247392
i don't know but it sounds delicious
>>69247459
More like really expensive to make and not guaranteed to make back money like a superhero film.
>>69247218
Because that epic sucked balls.
>>69249528
Fucking kill yourself with your shit taste.
>>69247567
Apocalypto is one of the best films ever made.
aint no one got time for no fucking 4 hour movie nigga
>>69249783
>Apocalypto was 20 years ago
>>69247218
What is The Dark Knight Rises.
>>69247218
tfw Cuckoldino wasted 70mm Kodak Vision3 Motion Picture film on bullshit flick set 90% in the cabin.
FUCK.
>>69247264
truth hurt?
>>69247370
Yeah the directiors cut. Which is almost twice as long as the theatrical cut.
>>69249833
>Braveheart was 37 years ago
>>69249985
>"NO PRISONERS!!!"
>they expect one of us in the wreckage brother
Like poetry.
>>69247218
Red Cliff was awesome.
Kingdom of War (aka Prince Naresuan) was awesome.
The Emperor And The Assassin was awesome.
It's not so much that "nobody making epics anymore," as that "Hollywood is shit anymore" and you have to look elsewhere for epic films.
>>69247352
This movie was great. Why did everyone pretend to hate it?
>>69247539
What is "The Warriors" Alex?
>>69247218
what are you talking about? Every single transformers is an epic narrative.
They've started making hella epic movies instead.
>>69250551
Because it was an idiotic piece of shit?
>>69250619
How? Elaborate pls
Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan
>>69250142
>widescreen camera
>cabin
Yeah...
because they cant make one that fools everyone now.
No one gives a fuck about some low tier bullshit magic. We have seen much more impressive movie magic beyond the tame displays in the bible.
>>69250650
No conception of Judaism (it's the Old Testament, you ain't getting away from it), no understanding of majesty, no understanding of politics, an idiotic insert of Yahweh as a little boy, Moses as an insurrectionist Bin Ladin, no Aaron to speak for the stammering Moses...
>>69250835
If boring nerd shit like that triggers you, I don't see how you can sit trought any movie at all.
>>69247392
It's similar to kino
>>69247218
Because Lawrence of Arabia almost bankrupted Columbia. The same happened to MGM with Doctor Zhivago. After that, it became increasingly difficult to make big, epic event movies, until Titanic came by and Hollywood opened to the idea once more.
Capeshit are the new epics
>>69247218
I guess they just didn't sticky with modern audiences.
>>69251193
I understood that reference.
>>69247994
>Mel Gibson portray Constantine XI in the fall of Constantinople

Hollywood are shitting out epics now more than ever. It's just that they are mostly crap movies made for low class idiots and not self respecting adults of the 60s.
>>69248274
None of his films could be considered an epic, anon.
>>69249833
No it wasn't
I fucking loved it when armies were involved in making movies.
>>69251652
I might be wrong here, but i wouldnt consider films that were filmed entirely in a 10x10 meter room covered in green.
>>69250551
It had white people in it, and now it's cool to hate on white people.
Why is nobody making ebins anymore
>>69252871
So can anime movies not be epics now either because they were drawn with pen and paper? You retard
>>69253030
Animated movies cannot be epics.
As i said, might be wrong.
>>69247554
grandpa you can't live in the past like that
