80/100 James Wan
Director-Producer

In the past year, Wan, 42, and his Atomic Monster label cranked out hits The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home and The Curse of La Llorona for Warner Bros., where he has a rich first-look deal, with The Conjuring 3 in post. A financing pact with Starlight Media allows him to make edgier fare; once he wraps indie Malignant, he'll focus on Aquaman, working on the sequel to his $1.1 billion DC hit.

A TOP TALENT (NOT ON YOUR PLATFORM) WHOM YOU ADMIRE

Naomi Osaka

IF YOU COULD CONTROL ONE PIECE OF IP, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

"Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. I've always harbored a secret desire to start my own, small eatery business/chain."

GO-TO PODCAST FOR A LONG DRIVE

"Actually, I listen to period music while driving. Preferably from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes, music in that period from around the world in different languages."

BEST OR WORST THING ABOUT HOLLYWOOD'S MERGER MANIA

"The fun thing is seeing different worlds and characters cross into each other's stories, and the possibilities of IPs getting integrated into other mediums and platforms. But of course one or two people controlling everything is never a good thing. It limits individualism and creativity."

LAST BIG SPLURGE

"Vintage furniture."

YOU FIND BOB IGER'S IPHONE. WHICH CONTACT DO YOU CALL?

"Mickey Mouse. And thank him for my childhood."

Next year, when Momoa starts filming the Aquaman sequel, he will be able to bring even more of his ideas to the role. He’ll be working more actively with the creative team in the development of the project. “I came in with a big pitch,” he says. “I came in with the whole thing mapped out, and they loved it.”

Aquaman Animated Miniseries Set at HBO Max With James Wan Producing
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/aquama ... 203468526/

Aquaman is coming to HBO Max.

The nascent WarnerMedia streamer has ordered a three-part animated series titled “Aquaman: King of Atlantis.” James Wan, who directed on worked on the story for the 2018 live-action “Aquaman” film, is onboard to executive produce the animated series.

“King of Atlantis” will begin with Aquaman’s first day on the job as king of Atlantis. Luckily, he has his two royal advisors to back him up – Vulko, the scholar, and Mera, the water controlling warrior-princess. Between dealing with unscrupulous surface dwellers, elder evils from beyond time and his own half-brother who wants to overthrow him, Aquaman is going to have to rise to the challenge and prove to his subjects, and to himself, that he’s the right man for the trident.

“This DC property is a fan-favorite rich with well-known characters and dynamic storylines,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max. “On the heels of Warner Bros. Pictures’ box office smash hit, we are certain ‘Aquaman: King of Atlantis’ will be an exciting addition to our already robust slate of kids and family programming.”

The show is based on the classic DC character created by Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris. Victor Courtright and Marly Halpern-Graser will serve as showrunners and co-executive producers. Wan will executive produce under his Atomic Monster banner along with the company’s Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and Sam Register. Warner Bros. Animation will produce.

Watched AQUAMAN last night for the first/second time since it came out in theaters, am I the only one having a hard time following these superhero films? If I'm honest I did not understand a thing, too many ellipses, too much happening, too many nonsensical stuff within scenes or single shots, not enough transitions... Even with suspension of disbelief, it goes too far. At $160 million a movie, would it be too much to ask for story and editing to make sense?
