Laura Dern will never forget when she first read Noah Baumbach’s script for “Marriage Story.” “I cried for half an hour, which Noah will tell you because he saved the voicemail…Oh my god, I literally cried so hard,” Dern says on this week’s episode of “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeart’s movie podcast.

He’s quite a complex character, and judging from the tittle of the movie, it’s probably going to cost a lot of money to make and there will probably be conflict of interests between the director and Disney

FilmGob Looks like Doctor Mordrid is still the best we're gonna get.

Title now DR ACCEPTABLE AND THE FOCUS GROUP OF MODERATION

Scott Derrickson liked this tweet. Make of that what you may.

Ça devient une habitude chez Disney. J'espère juste que Feige reste bien aux commandes car si le mcu se starwarsise😖

“Director Driven” lmfao

I was really looking forward to this film. Marvel because of Disney just wants to keep it at a 12 rating so they can earn a few comunist bucks. Supposed to be a horror movie! Don't pass it off using the most industry standard excuse ever, could've been truly unique, oh well.

Not a good sign knowing he helped write 'Strange' with Cargill.

This is true bullshit

Disney again fucking things up

Wait, WHAT?! He did such a great job on the first one. That's a real shame.

Wow!

partygirlu2 eu to tão triste aff

MCU must end! I have spoken!

This is feige's fault

Disney's fault.

This is why the MCU should have stayed at Paramount. There’s no way Disney was gonna let Derrickson make that R rated horror film Doctor Strange sequel that he wanted to make.

James wan has entered the chat

Hey RobertIger, how about allowing some outside the box creativity with the MCU (and Star Wars as well) instead of having to nix half the creative people you sign on?

I always felt he was being held back!

he is my director for DR.FATE movie.

SpiderPunk2oo3 In other words marvel where interfering with the directors vision and pushing connectivity and references to other marvel properties instead of letting the director tell a intelligent story of marvels version of the multiverse.

I appreciate him being able to step out on a project and business opportunity as big as making a marvel movie

You know who should be given the project (just directing)

'It's gonna be a scary movie.' *What people expected vs what Feige was thinking of*

😬Get ready for another generic assembly line production everyone!!

I've never understood why it's taken so long for us to see another Strange Film. This smells of the Marvel Universe being Disneyfied. It's a dark context and I fear Derrickson was told to make it more Family oriented. It's never good to change Directors at this stage

Goddamnit

Oh god no!!!! Disney

WELP THERE GOES THE MONEY

Man, that sucks. Well, they should get a director known for horror movies, like either James Wan (who did Aquaman) or Mike Flanagan.

no shit sherlock

This likely wasn't an overnight thing and I kinda get the feeling that Feige already knows who he wants to take over. This was just them officially letting people know that they were looking elsewhere.

It's about time Hollywood was far more inclusive, a none human director should be used to direct Doctor Strange 2. Every film and TV show as had a human director even films based on animals, look at the jungle book, outrageous. Equality for none humans.

BRUUUUHHH

Very disappointing. Doctor Strange is my favourite marvel movie.

omg what

Excuse me

a very small-dicked move.

Personally I liked the movie for what it was, but that was not the Doctor Strange I knew from the comics. It was Benedict Cumberbatch playing Sherlock again. I don't think the MCU gets Ditko co-creations, Mysterio is maybe the closest IMHO.

It's a dam Shame! I was really excited to see his vision and where he takes Stephen, I just hope they don't replace him with a Yes man director like Solo (2018)

First time in a long time I have seen one of these that I didn't see on the feed from NandovMovies or TheWeeklyPlanet first.

Exactly how Scott Derrickson is feeling walking away from Kevin Fiege

Good thing this isnt DC, or all they'd be talking about is how it is now doomed to fail.

If this movie fails now let’s start a ReleaseTheDerricksonCut 😂

I only hope the movie is made and released in time, and everywhere. And that I like it as much as the 1st one, which btw was how I actually found out and became very very interested in Benedict s work... Well, and in him💖

anjirla uda lama nunggu sekuelnya skrg ditunda gegara sutradara ganti?

I'm going to trust in Kevin Feige's vision and wish the best for Scott Derrickson in his future endeavors.

As long as Benedict Cumberbatch plays Dr Strange, we will be ok.

Ask Jon fav if he wants it guaranteed 1billion and a great movie

Bye bye Scott thanks for everything. Next person up

please say sike

Does it even matter Mcu movies feels more like community made than a single directirs creative vision. I won't be surprised if the movie turned out exactly like the first one.

I'd leave just for them giving the movie that tittle 🤣.

Big Oof. The idea of it being a horror film was somrthing really exciting as the MCU has never attempted, and probably never will, a horror film. Hope that the movie is actually good after being designed for horror. And c,mon Feige.

Just DON’T hire J. J. Abrams!

It's totally bad :(

Can't imagine why...

(( horor ))

Don't know about you guys but I'm stickin with Godzilla as my go to cinematic universe

HIRE. HIM. BACK. MARVEL. LET HIM DO HIS OWN THING!!!!

It had to directors Way. Marvel you gotta let him

hire martin scorsaese

All because the MCU doesn’t want to make any serious movies. Too focused on making movies that are fun and light and appeal to the general audience 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾🤦🏾‍♂️

Get James Wan

Mans way too creative to make assembly line films..big ups scott

They’re still making these movies?

That was like the only new MCU film people were actually excited for lol. At this rate DC will go from making the worst superhero films in history to kicking their ass. Shazam alone was better than any of their films from this year.

💔

I think reading this gave me a reading disability.

Looks like the studio chickened out on their promise to give us a horror movie! Sad!

Tô de cara

DDayCobra JosiahRises OdinsMovieBlog thatstarwarsgrl IvanFilmFix TheWorldClassBS EthanVanSciver

I can fix this.

Yikes but not surprised. The fact some people RUN to go work with Disney when shit like this always happens.

Yikes

lns2491 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Awwwww helllll no! What a bummer.

not3BaaDy

scottderrickson It's a nice thing when a creative parting-of-ways can be amicable. :)

Another director drops out very obviously for lack of creative control but the Disney bigwigs and the army of zealot fans will cover it up and deny it and praise Feige & Disney until the day they die. Trash movie making.

dorkwing uh oh

fuckfeige

🧐🧐 creative differences I’m sure

Lexialex 👀

NO.

NOOO I HATE IT HERE

well that’s not ideal

Wat

probably cuz scott wanted to go full-on horror with the movie but marvel was like nah sis

carlo7236

_CharlesMurphy

Anyways

Oh come on !!... 🙁🙁🙁

MCU = for children

Disney not allowing a director to do what he wants, and he gets so irritated that he leaves? Shocker! This is one of the main reasons I hate Disney owning Marvel, and Star Wars. I'm not watching this film, now knowing that Disney is corrupting his vision.

He said he wanted go darker and do horror and Disney was like think about the children

TheRapNerd88 oh boy lol

TheBulge3 ughhhh

🙃

Scott and Kevin parting ways:

Bummer. Would have liked to have seen him push his horror influence. Anyone know if Sam Raimi is available?

maybe if they had included clea instead of wendy

At least it happened before filming started.

So no horror.

Not good

The first thing I think of is that the director wanted a more serious movie with horror elements but Disney wants a comedy movie like the rest of the MCU.

Ok, Doctor Strange 2 is END !! Realy sad for all fans !! :'( :'( 😭😭

Can't wait to see articles pop up everywhere on my TL about how the movie is doomed. Or do you all do that only with DC movies?

What did jhoffman do?

QuotedReplies

There’s a reason why marvel goes for smaller directors instead of directors with high creative voices. Edgar Wright being an example.

Oop. Maybe this has to do with them backtracking on this will be a horror movie. Not surprised after they said it won’t be horror after all. Smh I was very excited about this one.

Who bet Scott Derrickson would be replaced after that Feige statement that 'Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness' wouldn't be a terror, you got it right.

Hmmmm that doesn’t happen often

I’m sad now

Wait does this mean Wandavision is still coming out this year? Because isn't this movie supposed to be directly linked to the series

So it's going to suck now.

TheDenofNerds ummm, not ideal

WHAT?

surprised he lasted as long as he did, for someone with a actual creative vision the MCU must of been a tough gig, I wonder what assembly line hack they will will get to replace him.

That's a bummer for sure.

GraceRandolph !!! omg

GraceRandolph 😯😯

Feige probably didn't want to let him make scary movie. Think about children

FUCK NO

IsmAvilaAC Recuerdas la última vez que Disney despidió a un director sin retrasar la película?🤡

mike flanagan wya

GraceRandolph

AdamKhan100

Probably the only person on the planet who isn’t that sad about this. This film is going to be an epic, and I didn’t entirely feel Derickson could direct a film like that well enough. Still sad though.....

oh my god benmekler what did you do

Looooooool. Give it to a woman

Bummer

YIKES
