Paul Atreides and Chani staring in awe at the title of the best Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi
What are some of the films that got scrapped that you've worked on? I had a big Spider-Man movie about the Sinister Six go down because of the Sony hack. My office was right on the lot, and I saw the FBI swarm in and the helicopters fly over the studio. I was sad about it, but there was literally nothing I could do to change the course of events. I suppose it was better than if they hadn't liked the script.

The LA Times article goes on to cite concerns from the movie theater industry, based on Netflix's historic antipathy toward theatrical releases for its films. Netflix is promising to keep Warner Bros!'s film studio a separate operation, maintaining the studio's current support for theatrical releases. I hope they do. I grew up loving going to the movies. I still enjoy it, but the truth is I go far less often as the years go on. Movie theaters shouldn't be a protected class of business just because there's so much affection and nostalgia for them. If they continue sliding into irrelevance, so be it. That's how disruption, progress, and competition work.
