#amc give me season 3 rn

[namelessmap]

I had a vision

[ca-suffit]

I hate that you are right (affectionately ) but there something really ''funny'' happening since they officially presented Nicolas and the actor playing him.I can already see the excitement for Lestat first (on screen) white male interest.

It's not really about Lestat this season but all they do is center everything around him, since the photos of the next episode came out people have already forgotten everything else. It gives me a glimpse of what's going to happen in season 3 and I can already say that I will probably drop the series.The fact that the showrunner says he accepted the series just so he could adapt The Vampire Lestat book is a red flag.Also the more I learn about Anne Rice the more I regret even starting the show.

I should still point out that I don't hate Lestat or Sam I know he's popular,it's just his fans.

I also don't hate Lestat or Sam, but this is the lie that white fandom has to keep pushing to victimize themselves. Ur noticing how often white characters take over the tags, it happens every time. The first Loumand kiss we got (when it was still a bts video) barely existed but a single still of Lestat got posted by everyone for *weeks*. A lot of ppl's engagement with stuff they promise isn't racially motivated and is "the books" rly is about how much whiteness is present. It's prbly gonna be insufferable here after the next episode. There's already constant shitting on Armand with the "it's not racism, it's the books" excuse. Nicki is also a huge asshole, do u think we're gonna hear about that tho lol? It's so easy to discuss all these characters and plots without having to victimize urself. U can tell who is part of white fandom by who can't write anything without paragraphs of a disclosure about how this isn't about race. Everything is about race lol. Maybe if u got comfortable talking about it u'd learn it's easy to do without being racist about it gd?? "Noticing race is the real racism" mfers, Anne Rice made everyone stupid as hell.

I don't think wanting to adapt TVL is a red flag itself without seeing what's done with it. Obviously, watch to ur comfort level but I'm just saying for my opinion. What they've created so far is not something that paints Lestat in the best light and I'm v doubtful they'd undo all that when they already went there in the first place. I'm waiting to see where they're going with this before I decide what I'm doing. AMC is known for telling stories about fucked up white guys, I don't see them suddenly making Lestat a whole different man once it's his version of himself. The point of all of them is that everyone is flawed and we all think the best of ourselves. How we're seeing Louis, Daniel, and Armand rn is how I also think we'll be seeing Lestat. The show so far isn't picking a side on these things happening, it's showing different angles of ppl and saying it's up to u how to feel about it. White fandom is waiting for him to get a whole character retcon because they're used to Anne Rice telling stories like that but it's doubtful that's what AMC is gonna do. He might grow as a person over time but I don't think they're gonna show up on day 1 and say "so S1 and S2 were a lie" in any serious way. That would be rly offensive to the audience and pointless to the plot as well. "It was alllll a dream" kind of shit.

Bad Hollywood Wigs

So, all of them I guess.

This was a request from @keeloves​ and I feel like a couple other anons a while ago and I haven’t done a post like this in a long time so why not!

Let me preface this by saying that, culturally, hair is important to Black people. It’s important me, and I think, taking care of my hair is a cultural tether to my ancestors as much as it is a major part of my identity. So that being said, I think it’s...bafflingly egregious that major networks and studios that have millions to bang out CG saturated movies and/or shows, but can’t spend like....$200 on a good wig, for anybody but ESPECIALLY Black people is....remarkably perplexing, but I guess since so many Black actors and models have had to do their own makeup on set and come with their hair done, we can, as usual chalk this up to more antiblackness. Anyway. Here is, my list of bad wigs from some characters and shows I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with, as well as, some good ones for contrast. I’ll keep it short bc I think it’s easy to get the point across.

Bonnie.  I had to start here tbh.  A CLOSURE? In 2009?! I feel so utterly disrespected by this entire situation. A closure, on top of her new growth. And in THIS outfit? Everything about this is offensive. Bonnie deserved better. 

What in the half-wig hell. She looks exactly like how I used to do my own hair when I was 17, with a $60 budget. ON A MAJOR NETWORK? Someone should have been fired. 

Girl.

Michonne. No but honestly, what the fuck. Danai Gurira is too beautiful for this level of disrespectful uglification. A FULL CAP WIG ON AMC IN 2019?!  NOT. EVEN. LACE?!

Meanwhile Black women, can create this, a REAL WIG. 

Sasha vs. Michael Burnham Speaking of walking dead. I can’t believe they did better by Sonequa letting her wear her natural hair, vs. the monstrosity star trek subjected us to for 2 seasons (her season 3 wig is also terrible but can’t find good photos rn. 

And they even had the AUDACITY to gel this helmet with no part down. This is a hairstyle I expect to see from an ashy male blerd at comic con who is kinda growing out his perm. Not on a beautiful woman like Sonequa.

THIS is what she deserved. 

Mehcad Brooks as whatever this character was.  What a sin. 

MEANWHILE //REGULAR// BARBERS ARE DOING THIS?? Come on. 

Elena You know, the nerve to not even pluck this hairline. 

girls on IG have better wigs bitch. 

The nerve of colonizers to take this thing right outta the box, DYE it this despicable colour and AGAIN not pluck the hairline OR CUT THE FUCKING HAIR TO FRAME HER FACE!?!? Whew Satan is at work with this thing. 

Again, girls on IG are EATING HOLLYWOOD UP WITH WIGS. 

I feel like if we just started giving local hairdressers these big contracts to slay people’s wigs on set, we’d have such a different experience lmao.

[wolfwhiteflowers]

-I guess I’ll just post articles or of it and rant about it till the movie is out 🤪

We got a new article about the Rick Grimes movies and answers from Gimple. It’s not anything much new to it but it’s handy. There’s a lot of Gimple-speak or talk that isn’t clear ..or like because they’re just starting to make the movie.

Ofc the fandom just joke/bash on Gimple and the movies. Idk why but I’m tired of it. It’s like the s6 cliffhanger. It’s annoying and boring. It gets me feeling negative...I mean I wanna see straight forward/positive answers or facts. Ok... Or heck maybe I’m just being unreasonably hopeful. sigh.

From the article, I kinda feel like the interviewer didn’t ask the right questions. He didn’t ask when the movie will come out or when the filming starts. Idk. But I noticed Gimple answered about how they don’t have a director yet. That’s straightforward and it tells me that they’re not ready yet for filming or like in Dec. They’re in Pre-procduction stuff rn. Idk much about movie productions. I don’t think Gimple, AMC,Skybound, and Universal would lie. So.. If the movies are not gonna happen I would think someone would say something.

Anyway. ..I noticed the article said Part 1. So I guess we’ll get another part soon about the movie or.. other shows.

Gimple said the movies will go in wild new directions. I figured. I keep thinking the movies will be like a lot of TWD universe actors from all shows and reintroduce Rick and walkers/zombies. New adventures yeah and to use that story that last three movies. I wonder if my theory would be true with the movies would be like 2 years ahead of the TWD show or take place after TWD show series (estimated) ending timeline.

The talk about Michonne seems like her exit is the first clue or something to know what’s about the movies. Keep the secret hidden. “We worked hard on that.” IMO it sounds like he just wants to keep it unspoiled on her exit rn.

I know fans are impatient and Gimple just announced so early on. It’s all so vague. IMO, Nov. ‘18 was when they just started things. Then July ‘19 they got a deal from Universal and it’s gonna be 3 movies. It’s all very early news. I mean we are still kinda in the know.

Idk im tired of fandom drama. We’ll know when we’ll know. Also it’s not the first time a tv show to make a movie.

ok so vvv I copy/paste the article.

The Walking Dead movie to go in 'wild new directions'

In part 1 of our comprehensive TWD overview sit-down, Scott M. Gimple gives an update on the Rick Grimes story for the big screen

By Dalton Ross January 06, 2020

It has been more than a year since Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes left The Walking Dead TV series and franchise chief content officer Scott M. Gimple announced that the actor and character would be appearing in a trilogy of TWD films. But other than a cryptic teaser at San Diego’s Comic-Con in July 2019 that announced the first such film would be appearing “only in theaters,” news has been scarce on the project.

EW sat down for a wide-ranging discussion with Gimple on the state of The Walking Dead franchise, and in part one of our chat, we asked where they are with the film script, if a director has been chosen, where exactly people will be able to see it, and what we will see on screen. (Stay tuned all week for Gimple’s updates on The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and other upcoming TWD content.)

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It has been more than a year since you announced you would be making a Rick Grimes Walking Dead movie. Do you have a timeframe in place in terms of shoot dates and locations already locked, or at least close to locked? SCOTT M. GIMPLE: We have a couple of different plans that we’re going with depending on a couple of different factors we have to deal with on everything from story to product aspects. There have been a lot of different aspects to it in terms of timing that are pretty much coming into rapid focus right now. I would say the past year in a lot of ways has been R&D on a lot of aspects of it.

Where is the script? Where are you with that? We are currently refining it. I don’t want to say much more than that. It’s coming together amazingly, but we’re trying to make this very special for everybody involved and we’re holding our feet to the flames. It’s an incredibly deliberate process right now.

Do you have a director for the film yet? The director has not been chosen for this film.

In that little teaser you showed at Comic-Con in July, it said, “Only in theaters.” What does that mean? Is there anything you can tell me about the theatrical window because obviously it’s AMC, but you’ve got Universal and Skybound so there are all these entities involved. This is a movie that’s going to be watched in the movie theater. Eventually you won’t need a movie theater to see it, but more in line with how movies work.

So this is not a situation where it screens in theaters, but then airs a few days later on AMC? No, this is a theatrical film. Yes, there’s AMC, there’s Universal, there’s Skybound. There are a lot of parties working together to cook up something special.

Is the plan still for three films? Yes, but we are still playing with things. That’s the plan right now.

We know it’s Michonne’s last season. Is Danai Gurira going to be a part of this film in some way? I don’t want to get ahead of The Walking Dead. I don’t want people already looking to what Michonne might or might not be doing next. She has an amazing story coming up on Walking Dead that informs everything moving forward, but I don’t want to get ahead of that. We worked real hard on that.

What about other people in The Walking Dead universe? I’m thinking about Heath, or other people that we haven’t seen in a little while that might potentially be popping up in terms of some surprises? I can’t even give you a definitive thing because we really are playing around with it a little bit now. We have a terrific area and direction we’re moving in, but we’re playing around with various aspects of it.

What can you say narratively about Rick? We saw him going off in the helicopter. What can you say about where the story’s going to go? We are going to continue to tell Rick’s story, and we are going to discover so much of the world through that story. Rick will be challenged in different ways that, in some ways, everything that he’s been through has sort of prepared him for. It’s a much larger world than one that he had been operating in, and that was challenging in and of itself. Now things are heightened, and just as we’re going to the movies — and it is the movies proper, suitably wide screen — we’re going to be filling that screen with a brand new world.

I was going to ask you about that in terms of the production elements: How is the scale different? How is your budget different? The scale is bigger and the budget is bigger, and it’s The Walking Dead, but heightened, both in the narrative themes, but also in just what we see onscreen. I say heightened, but I should also say it’s also very different. It’s not going to be the exact same thing we saw on television, just larger. We are going in some wild new directions. Movies are a different beast than television. Television is like, boom, we’re done. Movies, to calibrate an hour and a half, two hours is no joke, and it’s been a lot of fun, but it’s a real challenge and we take it very seriously for the fans. We really want to deliver them something special, something worth their trip to the movies. We’re trying to be very deliberate and deliver something new.
