監督がパラマウントとの全体的な映画契約に署名するジェームズ・マンゴールド・スター・ウォーズの映画は疑わしい

by

james mangold最近のニュースは、ジェダイの起源に関するルーカスフィルムの映画を取り巻く不確実性があることを示唆しています。

ジェームズ・マンゴールドがparamount picturesと大した契約を結んだと聞いて本当に興奮しています。彼は彼らのために映画を発展させ、監督し、プロデュースする予定です。これは彼のキャリアにとって素晴らしいニュースです。しかし、正直なところ、それはまた、lucasfilmに対していくつかの興味深い結果をもたらします。ご存知のように、昨年、彼らは、彼がdawn of the Jedi、A Star Warsのプロジェクトで、軍の始まりを掘り下げることを約束することを発表しました。それはちょっとしたシフトであり、私はこれがどのように機能するかを知りたいと思っています。

パラマウントでのジェームズ・マンゴルドのスケジュールがより充実しているので、人々は不思議になり始めています。ジェダイの映画のdawn映画はこれまでに作られたことがありますか、それとも多くの誇大広告で発表されますが、最終的には実現することはありませんか？

マンゴールドの岩だらけのルーカスフィルムの歴史

jediについて議論する前でさえ、ジェームズ・マンゴールドが以前にlucasfilmに大きな衰退を引き起こしたことを思い出すことが重要です。彼は、2023年にインディアナ・ジョーンズとDial of Destiny を監督しました。しかし、この映画は劇場でのパフォーマンスが低く、残念ながらルーカスフィルムの最大の商業的失敗の1つとして知られるようになりました。

多くのファンにとって、 dial of Destiny は、Lucasfilmの決定がキャスリーンケネディが先導したことでどれほど不確実であるかを本当に強調しました。マンゴールドに別の巨大なプロジェクトを与えます。今回はジェダイの注文の始まりを探求しますが、すでに危険な動きです。今、彼の新しい契約でパラマウントで、プロジェクトが成功する可能性はさらに低いようです。

Lucasfilmのおなじみのパターン

10年以上にわたり、Lucasfilmはエキサイティングなスターウォーズ最終的には起こらないプロジェクトを明らかにすることで知られるようになりました。 Patty Jenkinsの Rogue Squadron は、当初、大きなティーザーと宣伝で昇進しましたが、後にキャンセルされました。 Kevin Feigeの計画された映画は決して地面から降りませんでした。リアン・ジョンソンの約束された三部作？どこにも見えない。 Taika Waititiの映画は、「開発中」から実行中の冗談に移行しました。しばしば「レイ映画」と呼ばれるデイジー・リドリー主演の映画でさえ、牽引力を獲得しておらず、沈黙に会った。

It always happens the same way: a director is revealed, creating news, but then nothing comes of it. Disney doesn’t officially cancel these projects; they just quietly disappear.

Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi increasingly looks like it could be the next casualty.

The Paramount Deal and What It Means

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Mangold’s recent agreement casts doubt on at least two of his other projects-his Star Warsfilm with Lucasfilm and the Swamp Thingmovie planned for DC Studios. The publication was direct, stating that he was actively working on these projects, suggesting that his priorities might be changing now that he’s moved forward with a new deal.

According to THR, Mangold was working on a Star Wars film called Dawn of the Jedi, which would have delved into the history of the Force. He was also creating a horror movie for DC Studios featuring the character Swamp Thing.

Just that fact is concerning. Lucasfilm has often allowed directors to move on from projects without officially acknowledging their cancellation. The way major industry publications are now talking about Mangold’s Star Wars work – using past tense – seems like a warning sign that the project might be in trouble.

The “Still Alive” Spin

I was reading over at Gizmodo, and Germain Lussier shared that James Mangold’s representative has stated he “remains attached and available to develop all his other projects.” That’s good news for fans hoping to see his takes on both Star Wars and Swamp Thing! However, it’s worth noting that this doesn’t actually confirm either movie is currently being made. It could easily be interpreted as Mangold’s representative saying he’s ready and willing, but the studios haven’t contacted him yet. It’s a bit of a waiting game, it seems.

I checked with a spokesperson for James Mangold, and they assured me that even with the new agreement, he continues to be involved and free to work on his other projects.

Star Wars and Swamp Thing are still as alive as they previously were.

Lussier continued the conversation on X, stating that Star Wars and Swamp Thing “are still as relevant and popular as they always have been.”

However, that explanation itself is concerning. Claiming these movies are “as alive as they previously were” doesn’t offer much confidence. If these projects weren’t actively being worked on to begin with, then remaining “as alive” could easily mean they’re effectively stalled. It feels less like a solid promise and more like a public relations effort-a tactic to keep the options open without making any real commitments.

Lucasfilm’s Vanishing Projects

The real issue isn’t about Mangold-it’s with Lucasfilm as a whole. Since Kathleen Kennedy took charge, Lucasfilm has gained a reputation for projects that start with a lot of hype but don’t always come to fruition. They announce things to get people excited, but their schedule of actual movies and shows remains surprisingly limited. Beyond the shows on Disney+, the studio has only released a few films in theaters since Disney acquired it, and those have faced many delays, changes, and even outright cancellations.

If Dawn of the Jedi is ultimately cancelled, it will be just another example of Lucasfilm failing to deliver on what it’s promised. Fans are familiar with this pattern-they’ve witnessed similar projects fall through, though not in cinemas.

Final Thoughts

James Mangold’s deal with Paramount doesn’t necessarily mean the end of Dawn of the Jedi, but it definitely makes the project seem less likely to happen. Considering the disappointing performance of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, it’s difficult to see Lucasfilm relying on Mangold to bring Star Wars back to success in theaters.

Based on past patterns, Lucasfilm is unlikely to formally cancel the movie. Instead, they’ll likely cease all public discussion about it, and simply move forward with other projects, leaving fans to speculate about what might have happened.

At this point, the silence from Lucasfilm speaks louder than any announcement ever could.
