Sky High Could Be Made Possible on Disney+ If Fans Show Interest

It has been 15 years since we met teachers, students, and alumni of Sky High. The movie gave a humorous view of the superhero genre. It dealt with a high school for students with special powers. The film primarily takes a jab at a lot of famous superhero teams. We adore the film today, but it did not perform that well on the box office back in the day. The Commander was a spoof of Superman, and his wife, Jetstream was a spoof of the character Wonder Woman. Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston brought the two characters to life in the movie. The plot revolves around the only son of The Commander and Jetstream, Will Powers, and his best friend, Layla. Other relevant characters in the movie were Gwen Grayson (Will’s love interest), Warren Peace (Will’s self-proclaimed enemy), Mr. Timmerman, and Coach Boomer (teachers at the school).

The movie has slowly moved to the list of cult classics only because it makes fun of the glorified superheroes and presents their funny issues. Since 2005, there have been innumerable rumors about a possible sequel to the film, but neither was any official statement released nor did the movie begin. But recently, one of the scriptwriters of Sky High, McCorkle, opened up about it in an interview and expressed his opinion about the possible sequel. He stated that he believes a second part of the movie will be a “natural fit” for Disney+. He urged the fans to create chatter and support for the sequel by streaming the first movie and tweeting about it. He hinted that the director is also interested in the idea, and a slight push from the audience may motivate the team to get back and continue the story.

It seemed like McCorkle wanted people to create a virtual campaign as they did for the Snyder Cut. People gave so much love and support for the release of Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League that the producers had no choice but to give in. He hinted towards Disney’s slight interest in the project, but ample support from people could help convert it into a reality. 

Sky High is presently available on HBO Max, but that will change on December 4, and people will get to stream it on Disney+ again. This coincides perfectly with what McCorkle said. If Disney decides to make a part two of the film, it will be shot with an average budget and put in the category of a teenage comedy. Such movies rarely do an exceptional business on the big screens, but they do notably well if released on a streaming platform. In such a case, the makers manage to omit the expense of releasing them in theatres, and the scope of profits rise. If Disney is sure that there is a ready audience willing to stream the movie and their effort will not go to waste, they might seriously consider doing the project.

Ryan Reynolds reveals his true on-set Deadpool look

Tirelessly funny and always sassy Ryan Reynolds recently showed what he actually looks like on the set of Deadpool. The actor was talking about the new non-profit venture Group Effort Initiative where he will be taking in 10-20 BIPOC trainees on set with him. Mr Reynolds will mentor these trainees explaining the finer details of the art of films and giving them practical experience. And as he started talking about the fun time the trainees will have, he told them how they’ll see his actual face before it is beautified by makeup.

That’s when we see the Old Deadpool

As soon as he says that, a picture of the star pops up on-screen where he is wearing the Deadpool suit without the mask. His face is full of wrinkles and has absolutely white hair. It is another one of Ryan’s amazing comedic touches which never fail to impress. He is always ready for the next joke and makes fun of everyone including himself. That is one of the main reasons why out of all the X-Men characters, with the exception of Wolverine, he is the one that stands out. It isn’t Wade Wilson behind the mask, it is just a celluloid version of Ryan Reynolds; just as quirky, maybe bolder. And Deadpool can’t die.

When will we see the threequel?

The first two editions of the Deadpool solo franchise were massively popular. The movie set the record for the highest-grossing X-men franchise and the highest-grossing R-Rated movie of all time. Last year, when the acquisition of 20th century fox was finalized, Disney’s Ex CEO Bob Iger stated in plain terms that the Deadpool character would not be rebooted. This was refreshing news for the fans as the same was not said about the other X-Men characters. And Deadpool is perfect as is.  After that, recently Ryan Reynolds talked about talks going on about the third edition with Marvel. He said the world was new for his character but he fit in perfectly. Although he did mention that the movie was way into the future and it was still early stages.

It isn’t clear when Deadpool 3 is going to start filming or even an official announcement, but that doesn’t curb the excitement amongst fans. As per the plans officially released, Marvel’s Phase 4 is pretty jam-packed through 2021. But there are some mystery dates they’ve claimed in 2022 and 2023 that create speculations. Fans are especially interested in seeing Deadpool interact with different Marvel characters. Although we can have a sass-off between Deadpool and Tony Stark, he is still a welcome entrant to the huge superhero universe.

Currently, the actor is going to start work on an untitled time travel thriller, which will be directed by Shaun Leys and produced by Skydance. The movie will be released on Netflix.

How Harry Potter Part 3 and 4 Could Be Better

How Harry Potter Part 3 and 4 Could Be 

Better

The first two instalments of the Harry Potter series were relatively light-hearted and fun, with the three friends getting to know each other better. Harry, Ron and Hermione found some trouble every time, but Harry always managed to get away from the dark clouds and remained the “boy who lived”. But the next two movies wholly altered the entire mood that we were used to. The Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire were massive hits at the box office. The two were much gloomy and set the pace for what was in store. But here are some alterations that the movies could use if they were made today:

Opening of The Prisoner Of Azkaban

The wizards had a strict rule for the students that barred them from using any magic in the world of muggles. The intent of it was to avoid the risk of being exposed and to ensure immature wizards do not injure anyone. Both the books and novels ensured that the viewers knew how non negotiable the rule was. Yet, the very first scene of The Prisoner of Azkaban shows Harry practising the Luminous Maxima spell in his Uncle’s house. But the entire movie never addressed it. It was a significant mistake that the makers could have caught on during the edits.

The Quidditch World Cup in The Goblet Of Fire

The Quidditch world cup scene was a majestic depiction of the wizards’ love for the tournament. It showed people from all over the wizarding world swarming in to witness the game between teams of Ireland and Bulgaria, but sadly it was cut short by the army of Voldemort. Both the wizards and in the movie and the audience in the hall would have preferred to see Ireland win the cup and Viktor Krum catch the Golden Snitch that led to their victory. The scene was worthy of much more, but it may have been shortened so leave time for other scenes.

Draco as a Dementor in The Prisoner of Azkaban

In the book, when Draco Malfoy finds out about the incident Harry had with the Dementors, he finds this uncontrollable itch to make a practical joke out of it. The three Slytherin friends- Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle assumed the look of Dementors during Harry’s Quidditch match. In a reflex to defend himself, Harry cast a Patronus charm that startled the trio. Professor McGonagall was not very impressed with this attempt at humour and severely scolded the boys. But the movie only shows them teasing him during a class. It would have been a real relief to see the loathsome trio be at the receiving end of some harsh punishment.

Role of Reeta Skeeter in The Goblet of Fire

The fourth movie introduced the character of Reeta Skeeter. Depiction of her personality was as an immoral journalist who felt no shame in writing inaccurate stories and her misleading reports were usually the basis of all the wrong ideas that the wizards had about events. All in all, she was a horrible person.

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs in The Prisoner of Azkaban

The biggest drawback of translating a vividly imaginative book series into movies is that a lot of material either gets lost in translation or has to be voluntarily left out because of lack of screen time. But the small information that can be conveyed by a couple of dialogues should be consciously incorporated. The movies did a fantastic job in explaining the affection between Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew. But it never spoke of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs and whether they even had any significance. But the movie fans would have been thrilled to discover that every full moon night when Lupin turned into a werewolf, his three friends also took animal avatars to be with him. Their animal names were Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs and they were the creators of the Marauder’s map. The story of these four could also make an interesting prequel for the movies.

The Maze in The Goblet of Fire

An author has no restriction of imagination when he writes a book, but when you try to create a movie franchise out of that book, the team can bring only so much to life. We witnessed this handicap when the tournament contestants entered the labyrinth for the final task. The movie only depicted wild hedges as the biggest threat for the young wizards. But in the book, the maze was riddled with horrendous creatures to harm and be a roadblock to victory.

Voldemort’s Speech in The Goblet of Fire

The speeches of Voldemort have always been a prominent part of the movies, but the Dark Lord officially returned in the fourth movie. When he gained all his powers and a body, all thanks to the joint efforts of Barty Crouch Jr. and Pettigrew, he gave a speech. But the speech in the book and movie were not similar. The speech in the movie should have been longer.

Even the best book to movie adaptations are often controversial among the fans of the original, and Harry Potter is no exception.
