Dame Dash message to Jonathan Majors - “Make your own movies “

[F*ckthemkids]

Has it actually been confirmed that he's dropped from Marvel entirely? Also another thing to note about actors is going from huge productions like HBO and MCU to an indie film that sucks/was crowd funded can straight up kill your career too. Also if he cancelled for real and makes his own film who's gonna support it? Especially if it sucks. Didn't Nate Parker's film Birth of a Nation flop because they were cancelling him?

As of right now he's still on the Marvel roster. They've invested a lot into the Kang character, and I think they're just waiting to see how things play out before pulling the plug. They don't want to end up with a Johnny Depp situation on their hands.

Meanwhile Ezra Miller and James Gunn getting praise from left to right
Alex Baldwin free smoked somebody
Mel Gibson went on an all out rant
A simple allegation as a black man
Ain’t no such thing as innocence
You just guilty for the rest of your life

Gibson is a little different tho because after he got cancelled, he produced passion of the Christ and raked in the dough.

I think Majors will land on his feet. If he didn’t rape or sexually assault anyone he’s good. Producers will just have him on ice for bit.

There are like a 1000 streaming services out there and you can shop your movie to film festivals and theaters that specialize in Independent projects and you even got independent distributors like A24 these days. It's never been easier for independent creators to get their stuff seen. Is he gonna make Marvel money? Hell no, but if he make a project for 2.5 million and parlay that into 15 million that's a win. Now Majors probably may not want to do this but it's definitely viable.

Another point too is he doesn't have to continue to do this. Make some smaller possibly critically acclaimed independent projects till the shyt blow over.

Yo I’m crying laughing at this Coli business logic

What platforms outside of the big 4 are helping a disgraced actor turn 2.5 into 15 million lmao

What movie is JM producing and funding and creating that’s gonna net him a 13 million dollar profit? What distribution? Tubi???

The fukk are y’all talking about lol

 

[b. woods]

You probably waiting on the tampons too huh? RockAPads using ass nikka.

 

[Cat piss martini]

Make another Hov Dame.

 

[Braman]

Exactly my point. Jonathan majors in 2023 could put together a movie. Without a budget. He could find many people with a script, a concept, a story, plenty of people who have skills that would be like "fukk it, let me get on "

You take that experience and add it to your resume or tell your friends "shyt, I worked on a movie with Jonathan majors."

Bro tellin him to make Bowfinger

And rather than quote all your posts this applies to all of ‘em: you’re not taking into account longevity and quality. To put out a quality product takes money. To put out any product like that it takes money and he is not up like that. He just got on and no, you are not crowd sourcing a quality movie he’s not making Blair Witch

And then product. Longevity. Once people see you in a certain light quality-wise you’re typecast into that so your next move needs to be your best move.

Again I will mention Robert Downey Jr. He was blackballed as well. If he ‘went and made his own movies’ he’d never be iron man, never would have bounced back to the A lister he is. Now could he have ‘made his own movies’. Well, probably not but let’s say yes. They’d be movies no one would have ever seen. Just like, again , Mel Gibson

Bruh this ain't the 90's or 00's anymore. The big 4 don't have a stranglehold on distribution like that anymore. You can raise millions in crowdfunding and release a movie through an independent distributor. That Veronica Mars movie that dropped almost 10 years ago, raised 5 million in crowdfunding and was released on Hulu. But even if you want a theatrical release you got companies like A24 which distributed that Everywhere all at once Michelle Yeoh movie that turned a 14 mill budget into a 140 mill profit. That's a better return than most anything coming out of the mainstream. And we don't know to what extent Majors brand is damaged, y'all talking like he's already persona non grata. Even if he gets dropped from Marvel don't mean he's completely finished. shyt even if you are disgraced don't mean people stop fukking with you, just look at Trump.

 

[Lonj]

I don't disagree agree with the bolded. Not saying it's right, but it's borderline procedural for distributors/companies to distance themselves from celebrities who fall into me too/domestic trouble.

It wouldn't be wise to sink a couple hundred thou or a few million if you don't have guaranteed distribution. And forget traditional marketing with him being the face of a production right now.

Unfortunately, he's in an ambiguous spot right now and his case is too recent. Cuba, Mel, Louis CK, Isaiah Washington and dozens of other celebs had to disappear for half a decade before they reappeared. Will Smith is Will Smith, and fortunately for him, a lot of people don't like Chris Rock. JM isn't as established, yeah has a few cool roles, but he hasn't quite made it yet. He's got the woman-beater stigma on him. Don't get no worse other than rape.

It would be bad money for him to self-invest while his case is so new.

Ezra had a quarter billion thrown behind him and Warner Bros probably had to threaten his family's livelihood to get him to stop wildin out for this movie to get pushed. Low-key, JM is under similar circumstances and Disney probably has over a billion invested in stuff he's connected to, so they are waiting it out.

I can agree with this, all I'm saying is that the idea that people can't make their own movies is antiquated. Creatives are in the driving seat now more than ever.

Report: Marvel Preparing to Recast Jonathan Majors’ MCU Kang the Conqueror

The future of Jonathan Majors as the MCU’s Kang remains cloudy following his ongoing legal issues. However, a recent report from The Cosmic Circus hints that Marvel is keeping a close eye on it and prepared to move on as well. Will Jonathan Majors be recast as MCU Kang the Conqueror? The Cosmic...

‘Just make your own Marvel movie’

That casualness of that comment got me tight and I’m not even Majors

 

[MJ Truth]

Can’t do that ether because


He was with a white woman


Them meaning BW don’t forget that they will never forgive him for that


BM on the other hand would fukk a a reformed Bed wench if she looks good enough



Tell me I’m lying

You’re lying.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

You can't say things like that if you don't know what kind of money or connections he has left.

Women are a major part of the industry and if you've developed a reputation for hurting them they won't want anything to do with you.

He has to completely clean up his image regardless of whether he did what he was accused of or not.

 

[Solomon Lurke]

Dude isn't broke. I don't know if you've been to any film festivals but it doesn't take millions of dollars to put together a project.

lol yes it does, specially if no financer or producer is gonna go near it.

It definitely doesn’t, I’ve worked on projects with micro budgets that came out very good and could contend in their spaces. On the flip the harder part is getting out there. This is where those projects failed. Filmmakers underestimate that part. If he does indeed get “cancelled” then getting visibility in festivals and so on will be a lot harder if not impossible for him. Then unfortunately he doesn’t have a built in fanbase he could go direct to consumer with.

I can agree with this, all I'm saying is that the idea that people can't make their own movies is antiquated. Creatives are in the driving seat now more than ever.

We agree there, but the point of the thread is Dame Dash of all people is telling JM to do his own thing in spite of his pending court case. It's kinda ill-advised coming from someone who hasn't been able to do his own thing post-Rocafella.

That ownership above all, go-at-alone mentality is not a golden rule. It's highly circumstantial.

 

[Wildin]

DTC how?

I'm not talking about making the movie, I'm talking about selling/streaming the movie.

No one is buying physical media anymore; Youtube?

He could distribute it through www.johnathanmajors.com. And make people pay whatever he feels it's worth. Showcasing a video through pay services on the internet in 2023 is pretty easy. Hell he could go through tubi. If Tubi starts getting some quality content, they'll either get bought out or become a big dog.

 

[jwinfield]

And to add to that: Ezra Miller has no upcoming movies slated other than the Flash according to IMDB

And even ads for the flash are hiding dude as much as they can.

If they called that shyt Old Batmans and friends, they wouldn't have to change shyt in the way they're promoting it.

I can't think of an actor off top who fukked up and never worked again. Maybe the fukked up so bad I completely forgot they existed but every actor who's went through some shyt that I can think of is working again despite the bullshyt. They might've stepped aside and waited til shyt cooled down but they didn't just never work in Hollywood again, or end up at home depot or Wendy's, or die.

Arnie Hammer is selling timeshares.

Doubt he comes back.
