Star Wars spin-offs on hold, more Star Trek shows and WoW Classic details | Stream Economy #9

2018-06-21
welcome to stream economy I'm ashley Esqueda and your time is money which is why I look at the news across movies TV and games until you where to put your fan investments this week we're kicking things off with something a lot of people are invested in and that my friends is Star Wars Collider dropped a huge bomb this week with an exclusive report saying the a Star Wars story spin-offs were being put on hold at Lucasfilm sources also say that that obi-wan movie we'd been hearing about was in development but now that team is no longer involved so that's not good on top of that there was that rumor that James Mangold the guy who co-wrote and directed Logan was going to do a Boba Fett movie that's probably also being put on ice because of a little movie called solo so we have to talk about solo for a second in as of today or a few days ago hasn't even crossed the 200 million dollar mark domestically at the box office and making the movie cost in the neighborhood of two hundred and fifty million dollars now mind you that 250 million dollar is not including a marketing budget so we're probably talking maybe half a billion dollars that they're probably not gonna make back so I guess it makes sense if Kathleen Kennedy wants to maybe put these standalone movies on hold for a little while while they regroup now Lucasfilm is going to be focusing its efforts on episode 9 and on top of that Rian Johnson is still making his Star Wars trilogy and also Game of Thrones showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff are also doing a series of Star Wars movies so those are okay but all those stand alone movies for right now are not happening so I think we need to do a quick fire as to whether to buy or sell so in the way of buying I think we can buy both of those movie series from Benioff and Weiss and Rian Johnson because they're geniuses guys they make good stuff we should totally buy that I'm gonna go ahead and say cautious optimism on an obi-wan movie that could be good if they refocus and do some introspection and then I'm gonna say we just need to sell off that terrible Bubba Fett movie idea to a Sarlacc pit because at the end of the day guys both that sucks don't at me but when you can at me about is whether or not you think Lucasfilm is making the right decision here so tell me in the comments now we're kind of losing a lot of spin-offs on the star wars side but guess what we're getting lots of Star Trek you'll get a Star Trek you'll get a Star Trek everybody gets a Star Trek CBS Television Studios has officially signed Star Trek discovery executive producer Alex Kurtzman to a five-year deal that will bring even more Star Trek to your screens sources say there are a few different concepts on the table including a Starfleet Academy show from the people who brought you Gossip Girl there is an idea that could bring back jean-luc Picard like a little miniseries action maybe on top of that we've got a potential series involving infamous Trek villain-con no word on which one Montalban or Cumberbatch I don't know and on top of that even an animated series but at the end of the day CBS isn't talking and they could scrap any of those concepts during development now disclosure CBS is the parent company of CNET and they could have totally sent me an email and told me all their secrets but they didn't so now I just have to say that my dream show that I don't know anything about is a prequel set in Starfleet Academy starring none other than John Luke Picard with hair what's the only way the only way she looks so good you guys that's amazing now obviously CBS is expanding the Trek universe because Star Trek discovery is doing so well and if you haven't seen Star Trek Discovery I highly recommend it it's a by it's really really fun I am enjoying watching it and I know it's another paid to stream service but if it's something you're interested in you should check it out so now we go from the vast out reaches of space to the shores of Azeroth because it's time to talk about vanilla blizzard officially announced which patch would be the foundation for world of warcraft classic that's a pre expansion version of the game they also detailed a lot of challenges the dev team faces as they restore it in a blog post Blizzard discussed the basis of how they chose which patch would be the core of WoW classic and they fell upon patch 1.12 now that is drums of war and marks the last major content patch before the Burning Crusade content started launching in late 2006 so about two years worth of game content and the culmination of that so we all just go to Berens chat right poured it over let's launch it tomorrow not so fast the dev team also talked about having to update and change a lot of code for different systems they also have to make sure that it's compatible with things like battlenet which wasn't around when the game originally launched updated graphics card compatibility and of course security and antibody measures it's a lot of really important stuff so it's gonna be a minute before a world of warcraft classic is ready to go but at the end of the day i think if you've been asking for this for a really long time you are in a good place and i think that you're gonna get even more than what Blizzard originally promised you or what maybe you had been asking for so it's a buy if you've been asking for it there but if you haven't been asking for it I'm gonna say it maybe start off with the game in its current form because it's a better starting off spot now I used to write in rap the Lich King I think this is a really cool idea but at the end of the day how many times can you raid knacks 40 before you get bored guys how many times I don't know I'm speaking of the supernatural and strange goings on I'm really worried about Mark Searles he hasn't been sleeping a lot and he keeps making a weird clicking noise with his mouth I don't know you guys you check in on him yeah read it see have you seen this movie have you seen it oh jeez I went to the cinema by myself kiss my kids I'm on my way for the someone else saw it those two myself so it's like all good see how a movie so then I went into the cinema and I saw the movie anyone I went him I was bringing it myself the real American Neha no I was too skinny with history's empty my history is empty and I love the old in the hood and then when I went to sleep I couldn't sleep because I was so scared I kept looking at when the other soul is not inflation and all those my gland but did grab sonic line come on I'm sorry and then I tried to tell myself to go asleep let everything I like to the chair I was a bit shocked totally baked Lay's hanging out floors are human being coming eat me alive - that's just been heartening for our week I can't deal with I can't even take a loose money I think I myself good see Larry is so good but oh Jesus Christ - so scary Oh best movie ever good stuff when you hear the words for DX movie you also might think of the words theme park ride but it's a little more complicated than that and that's why we're here at 40 X labs in Hollywood California to learn a little bit more about the technology behind 40 X experiences and how each movie is designed where's my popcorn and up right now I think viewers who watch a 40 X film probably have some kind idea of how the movies convert into 4dx they might think it's a simple process but to tell the truth is very complicated method we come into the last stage of the production right so there's post-production and then there's us and that could sometimes be like a couple weeks before the premiere so we really have to figure out how we're gonna approach the situation without just blindly putting in for everything that we feel or here because it becomes an overwhelming sensation our key intention here is not to interrupt not to go too much so we stay low and the restate comment to make your movie watching Express a more immersive so we you feel end up feeling like you're living the experiences in Australia these creatures were here they're gonna be here after when something is designed perfectly and it feels right it's so satisfactory 40x isn't for everybody that's for sure some people find the experience to be a little bit too overwhelming but if you're looking to add a little dash of adventure to your movie-going experiences 40x might be just the thing I like to think of 40x as sort of a secondary viewing experience so see the movie you want to see the first time the way you want to see it and then the second time you can consider adding a 4d act ticket force and extra a little fun I can't wait to see it Jurassic world fallen Kingdom it is going to be so exciting in 40x and thank you again to the team of four DX labs for allowing us to come over and check out what they do on a daily basis we have some housekeeping for future episodes next week we will not have a full episode instead we are going to air a really fun interview with Rebecca Johnson and Kimmy Gatewood who are actresses on the Netflix series glow they're coming over to talk about season two and also what their characters Don and Stacey are up to with a really fun sort of newlywed game and I think you'll really enjoy that we will also be off on 4th of July week so if you are around and you don't know where the show is I'm sorry we'll be right back I promise you
