It is an ad for sure, and the title is very misleading although the article clears some things up.
The $120 million is self funded, which is why the amount is relevant.
"In the works for 40 years" includes the time from when the idea to make the movie was conceived. That is common filmmaking terminology since a lot of films that are in the works end up having trouble finding funding or a distributor, and getting both are a big part of the process. Sometimes they take longer than the time from preproduction to the theater.
In the works for 40 years is also a giant red flag and I assume it is going to be mediocre at best.
I feel like it received the attention it deserved when it was originally released. I’m sure a fresh coat of paint and updating some of the more weird control choices would make it easier to get into for new players, but I have zero interest on remake like that.
Like all entertainment, being an author is generally not lucrative unless you are established as an author or some other kind of entertainer with name recognition. Once you are and can negotiate things like film rights or future book royalties then the sky is the limit.
I watched that show during its original run, All the way through. The miniseries was awesome but the series got tiresome over time…
More recently, I binged all of Stargate: SG-1, Atlantis, the TV movies, and I just finished Universe. The latter suffers from the same problems as the rebooted BSG: the constant tension, without release or catharsis (except for very rare moments…) just becomes tiresome. Main characters constantly at each other’s throats, sometimes in obviously contrived ways, plot-wise… I endured it more than I enjoyed it.
Past sci-fi shows (for example, Berman-era Trek) may have been lacking in tension, but nu-BSG and SG:U had too much. There needs to be a cycle of tension and release in a series, so that each new bit of tension can be enjoyed again.
Just the fact that even PR people try to breakdown costs by extremely over-inflating costs and they still come up short! And that's not even including the fact that the hotel itself is not as good as the most premium Disney Resorts, but this one is more expensive?
The whole point of Jenny Nicholson's epic video was that it did NOT, in fact, offer a "unique, interactive 48-hour movie-like adventure."
That Screen Rant article was almost certainly planted by Disney PR. No actual employee who had to deal with all that bullshit would write something so sycophantic.
