In the past few days, Zadao's "Moon Rebels" is undergoing overwhelming publicity, and the producer Netflix and Zadao themselves are trying their best to use this movie to create a film and television brand of their own, however, the early reputation of the film is not good, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 9%, and it is only more than 20% at present, and now it is estimated that Netflix and Zadao himself are a little panicked.
This is not the first time Netflix's big productions have experienced word-of-mouth failures, in fact, in recent years, a series of blockbusters produced by Netflix with high investment, starring big stars, and leading by big directors are basically synonymous with bad big data movies, such as "Ghost Attack", "Red Notice" and so on.
Only a few films such as "Shocking Rescue" can be regarded as a win-win situation in terms of word-of-mouth and popularity. Some time ago, Netflix executives said that they would change their strategy and no longer carry out film sea tactics, but reduce the number of film productions and improve quality. In terms of dramas, it is ready to further develop derivative works of popular projects to expand and consolidate the status of the original IP, according to the latest reports from foreign media, now, Netflix is actively operating [derivative series] as follows——
1, "Stranger Things" spin-off - this has long been determined, as Netflix's first hit drama, "Stranger Things" is about to come to an end in the next fifth season, and the main creators Duffy Brothers recently promised in an interview that they will never end badly, and said that it is small.
Ten. 1. The stories of Dustin, Lucas, and Sheriff Harbour are sure to come to an end.
It's unclear which characters the spin-off will revolve around.
2, the spin-off of "Shocking Rescue" - The series produced by the director of "Avengers 3,4" and starring Brother Hammer is itself a follow-up to the popular action movies of the new era with the popularity of "Fast Pursuit", but because of its excellent quality, it has been widely recognized. Lionsgate's "Fast Pursuit" has launched a "fast pursuit" to create an "action universe", and various derivative works are in preparation, compared to it, the plot line of "Shocking Rescue" is too simple, except for Brother Hammer itself, there are not many other eye-catching characters, of course, this kind of action series relies on the creation of action scenes, and it is more important to have enough money and enjoyable action scenes.
3, "Wednesday" spin-off - just like the original "Squid Game", "Wednesday" is more unexpectedly popular. And it's interesting that this show itself is a "spin-off", each character in "The Addams Family" can be taken out separately to make a one-man drama, and this time Netflix is set to make a spin-off of Uncle Feist, who made a cameo appearance in "Wednesday".
4. "Bloody Gangsters" spin-off - This series has now been filmed for 10 years and has six seasons. The male protagonist Cillian Murphy has gone from a scarecrow to Oppenheimer. Previously, it was reported that the series is preparing a movie version, and now, Netflix has confirmed two new spin-offs, one set decades after the first season, set in Boston, and the other will focus on the character of Polly.
5, "Money House" spin-off - a Spanish drama with high reputation and high popularity, which has been filmed for five seasons and two seasons of Korean version, it is not clear what characters the spin-off will revolve around.
6, "The Witcher" spin-off - "The Witcher" was a high-investment drama that Netflix had high hopes for, but unfortunately, it was finally made into a chicken rib work, and Henry Cavill was still the biggest attraction, however, Henry Cavill has confirmed to leave, and Geralt will be replaced by "Hammer Brother" Liam Hemsworth in the fourth season.
Brother Hammer Brother:
It is estimated that many people have no desire to follow the drama, and in the third season, it is obvious that Geralt has also been marginalized, mainly shaping the role of Ciri, and it is not ruled out that Ciri will become the absolute protagonist in the future, and Geralt will occasionally show his face. At present, it has not yet been determined who will focus on the new spin-off drama officially set, but the response to "The Witcher: Bloodborne" was very average at the beginning, and it is estimated that this time it will be similar, it is better to shoot a few more derivative animations like "Wolf's Nightmare".
7, "Army of the Living Dead" spin-off - if "Moon Rebels" fails, Director Za should go back and toss the "Army of the Living Dead" universe", at least zombies are a relatively alternative theme, no matter how you do it, at least some B-movie lovers will be happy to do it, "Moon Rebels", a space opera that was rotten in Hollywood 30 years ago, really has no future. Although the plot of "Army of the Living Dead" was also uncomplimentary, there is still something to see in the scene, and the derivative movie "Army of Thieves" is actually quite interesting, although it has nothing to do with zombies, but it is quite interesting as an anti-routine entertainment sketch.
A few days ago, Zadao also said that the sequel to "Army of the Living Dead", "Planet of the Living Dead", is still in his plans, but now he is concentrating on "Moon Rebels". Now that the word-of-mouth failure of "Moon Rebels" is like a mountain, will Director Zhadao sigh that the people's hearts are not ancient, and go back to concentrate on the related works of "Army of the Living Dead"?
It's unclear what characters the new Army of the Living Dead spin-off will revolve around.
