On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Tuesday December 5th, 2017) Mark Ellis, Jon Schnepp, John Rocha, Ashley Mova discuss the following:
1) Bryan Singer fired from Bohemian Rhapsody
2) Rian Johnson Talks New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Plans and If He’ll Direct All Three Films
3) Opening This Week
4) Zachary Levi Says Shazam Could Surprise Like Guardians of the Galaxy
5) James Franco Set to Direct & Star in Shel Silverstein Biopic ‘A Boy Named Shel’
6) Mail Bag
7) Live Twitter Questions
Just as news broke that Fox had halted production on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, THR is now reporting that director Bryan Singer has been fired from the production. The trade details a long list of reasons that include clashes between him and his Freddie Mercury actor Rami Malek, absences from the set that would force cinematographer Thomas Newton Sigel to step in and direct; and actor Tom Hollander, who plays Queen manager Jim Beach, is said to have briefly quit the film because of the director’s behavior, but was persuaded to return.
With Star Wars The Last Jedi ready to debut in theatres next Friday, director Rian Johnson is now making the press rounds on the promotional tour. Not surprising, The Last Jedi talk soon turned to his new trilogy of films separate from the Saga, which is said to be a whole new story with characters we’ve yet to meet. Collider’s own Steve Weintraub spoke to Johnson about the new trilogy and asked if he’d like to direct all three movies.
OPENING THIS WEEK
Speaking at the recent Heroes & Villains convention in San Jose, CA – Shazam himself, Zachary Levi, talked a bit about the upcoming adaptation, revealing that he thinks the movie could surprise audiences in the same way Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy did.
In a report from Deadline, James Franco is in talks to direct and star in a film about children’s book author Shel Silverstein. Writers Chris Shafer and Paul Vicknair will pen the adaptation based on Lisa Rogak’s book “A Boy Named Shel.” Silverstein, a poet, singer, songwriter, and screenwriter, has seen his work translated into more than 30 languages, selling over 20 million copies in total.

I'm suspicious this Tarantino Star Trek flick will stall out fairly soon, even though I'd really love for it to happen.
Thumbs up to Rocha for speaking up, and for Jon for not letting him go to far.
Milo yiannopplous was right!!! Hollywood is crumbling, eating itself from the inside out and you're all going to fall with it. It's gloriously beautiful.
I hate how all the trek nerd are bashing this before we even see what it is. I am betting since it is rated "R" that is will be set in the mirror universe, which justifies an "r" rating for Star Trek. The mirror universe is a tyrant Universe where atrocities are a constant norm. Trekkies need to grow up and get over it.
Is Rocha trying to crucify Franco for something that happened years ago, which he admitted to and apologized for? I'm confused.
#floatygods
Well done to Mark Ellis for handling the James Franco topic excellently. I see where Rocha is coming from, but he got too carried away. Schnepp is also right. A calm voice in an intense issue.
I love when Rocha & Schnepp get passionate and Mark has to derail it, lol
Hey Rocha, believe it or not there is actually a possibility for people to be falsely accused of stuff, so maybe stick to the facts of things and don't be talking rumors and dragging people's names through the mud just yet.
Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder on Vulcan?
My discussion regarding tarantino directing star trek https://youtu.be/t5nKDg9vpPw
Good job reigning it it, Mark. You're a great host. Personally, I feel for those people that are affected, and I want the people that hurt them to be punished, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying what's been made up to now. Maybe it should. IDK. Like they're constantly saying, many more people were involved in making the stuff and, whatever I think of the real person, I can still enjoy their character. If we really took it seriously, there's probably not a single thing we could ever watch again. I still like Parks and Rec, Seinfeld, X2, Baby Driver, Naked Gun, etc., etc. There's real people in them that I don't like, but I still like the work done. Just don't let them do any more work. At least until they prove themselves worthy of more, because I do also believe in second chances being earned.
I know Tarantino's a talented writer and director that's able to do things outside his niche, but I'm having trouble imagining a Tarantino Star Trek. I assume it would be awesome, yet possibily difficult to accept as "My Star Trek".
SPOCK, GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!!!
Damn Rocha went in!! Bryan Singer has been trash for years!! Time to face the music.
Collider crew- I've heard several of you mispronounce 'biopic' in several videos now. Maybe it's trivial, but you guys are suppose to be huge movie aficionados. It's not pronounced 'bio-pic'… it's 'bi-op-ic'. PS- Care about you.
Wow! I don't know which was more interesting and intense; the show or the comments. Both are great.
Is Rocha gay?
Tweets aren't law anyone can jump on That shit. If you can tweet and relive than you can press charges or do something real. Rocka chill out and stop pushing all allegations as facts YOU don't know whats bull or real stick to movie talking. Now people like you for pushing rumers that have nothing to do with you.
Hopefully he buffs up cant have a skinny shazam
I can kind of see where Rochas coming from but I’m happy that Schnepp chimed in and put some sense in there
Lucas film must adore the Last Jedi and I can’t wait
Thank you for calling out Singer. That was highly appropriate.
I'm tired of prequels in the Star Trek universe. I want something *new*. I want something past TNG, VOY, and DS9. Build the lore further, don't play in the old world.
Go, Rocha! You know the truth. I support that.
Rocha, stop being such a Douche hothead.
rumors are not accusations. pipe down and don't condemn people just because of rumors on twitter. that's pathetic.
you're a YouTube figure, sadly, you're an opinion leader (sadly, again).
BE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE WORDS COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
I wonder if Robert Meyer Burnett will name drop Bryan Singer anymore if he is found to be guilty.
Tarantino made a great war movie: Inglorius
As a gay man in West Hollywood, I have heard tons of stuff, I tend to keep quiet even though I know about quite a few friends who have been part of things that happened. If it is this, then just like anyone else he needs to own up. Gay or Straight, unwanted sexual advances are not cool, and damaging in many ways to some of the people involved, not all, I know some of my friends who have laughed things off and aren't bothered, be it from him or anyone else's advances, but for others, it's a big deal. So, I can't say what this is about but whatever it is, it will come out eventually. We are living in a world where nothing stays behind closed doors. Not with social media and phones that can take pics and videos. None of us really know what has transpired. Only those who were involved know. I also want to state this regarding underage sex. There is a huge difference if the person is 17 or if the person is 10 or 14 for example. I don't know anyone who hasn't had sex by 17, and yes, by law it's different, but let us not call someone a pedophile unless the term is warranted, many 17 year olds lie about their age to have sex and drink etc etc. I have never heard of Bryan Singer being involved with anyone young. So no one should really say anything unless there is 100% proof of things. But I have heard a lot of stuff where if true, it will come out and he will be no different to those others being named now. If only this could apply to the Alabama guy and our President, sheesh….. The only thing I would caution Rocha is to please say allegedly when talking about rumors and other things unless it has been proven. It protects him and Collider.
And yes, in regards to who to take over. If the cinematographer has been doing a great job stepping in and he wants to direct the rest of it, why not? That's how people move from one category to another. This might be an amazing opportunity for this person!
