A new twist on the Logline Showdown that is sure to result in pandemonium!
Sorry there’s no official post today. I’m too exhausted. But I did think it was odd how the trades went all ballistic on Argylle “bombing” this weekend. Isn’t $17 million perfect for a movie like this? Was anyone expecting Marvel numbers for a movie about a cat? Unique footnote on this one. Did you know that, while the reported budget for Argylle was 200 million that, actually, Apple just *gave* Matthew Vaughn 200 million. The movie itself was made for much less and Vaughn pocketed the difference. Ahh, to be a director in today’s streaming market – they’re LITERALLY throwing money at you. Either way, why see this movie in theaters when it’s coming to Apple Plus soon? It looks fun to me. And since Taylor Swift secretly wrote it, you know it’s going to be awesome.
Okay, on to business!
January Logline Showdown may be behind us. But that doesn’t mean we have to pack our bags and head home on the next flight. NO! For those of you brave enough, for those of you with a spirit of adventure, it’s time to put those Hawaiian swim trunks back on and DIVE BACK INTO THE SHOWDOWN POOL. Cause the showdown continues people. The showdown continues to continue.
The theme of February Showdown? Anything goes! Just like January Showdown.
But just like any great film, there is a twist.
