Chris Gore in a recent video on his Film Threat channel said he heard from insiders the Test Screenings were INTERNAL test screenings that had a bad reception.

Essentially this means Disney/Lucasfilm Staff watched it.

It seems that almost no insiders said anything positive about it...the only one that did apparently was one that MR H Reviews knows, but there is something Sketchy about all this. Is there a campaign to spread fake rumours about the movie or are there insiders who are lying about the film being good to try and sow doubt in the leaks?

This whole thing is very bizarre...regardless, I'll never watch this because even if Indy doesn't get erased from time, it's still gonna be a mediocre movie.

Edit: The Chris Gore part at 10:20, he says it was on the "Studio Lot".

This. The only possible reason I can see for KK to get the boot now is if Bob Iger wants a scapegoat to lay the blame of past failures on. But he already has all the scapegoat he'll ever need in Chapek, and it'd be an easy bet that even ongoing failures will just get blamed on Chapek. It doesn't have to make sense. Moreover, Disney's motives are purely ideological these days and even though her movies lose money, KK is still pushing the message forward. She's an absolute asset to them in that sense.

Disney Plans to Remove Star Wars Boss Kathleen Kennedy (Rumor)

Kathleen Kennedy's time as President of Lucasfilm may been coming to a close.

To be fair, this might be the last film produced by KK so yeah. Good riddance.

I'm calling bullshit until she actually leaves the seat, because fifth columnist shills who larp as critics like Doomcuck kept spamming this as the saddest form of copium out there to justify watching shit every week for hours on end, using this fucking logic to do so:

My Review of the latest Disney Subway Sandwich

Now, sure the haters in this thread will take a look at it and say 'That's just a 10-inch post-thanksgiving toilet-clogging dookie in a hoagie roll.' And yes, that is pretty much exactly what this it is, but let me tell you: This turd-on-rye is the best Disney Subway sandwich yet. Its taken them 10 years of me eating every brownsnake sandwich they've put out, but this time guys they've really hit a new peak. It barely tastes like feces and its almost like you're eating real food. They have really upped their game on this one, the consistency has improved and they've even added sour kraut and a nice spicy mustard that really masks the fact you are eating human shit, and the peanuts add a subtle nutty flavor. And it comes with cheese and two strips of bacon - Actual bacon! This is by far the best sandwich Disney has made lads. I can't believe more people aren't eating this.

I mean ok sure. No one is forcing me or anyone else to eat actual poop on a kaiser roll. And yes I could eat literally anything else if I wanted to, but I've been eating every Subway Sandwich that has come out since I was child, and just because Disney bought the store a decade ago and has just putting steaming BMs between bread ever since is no reason for me to stop eating them - after all, if I stop buying Disney's pinched-loaf sandwiches the chain might close. And that would be a real shame since you can look at their output over the past decade and seen that they are edging closer and closer to making an actual sandwich, and its super distressing to see people who won't give this new offering a try just because the other sandwiches have tasted like utter shit.

Until she walks, it's BS. Even then, the next creature to take the spot will still likely have the same degree of malevolent retardation since anyone who cared left or was fired years ago.

I doubt it, people have been saying that for years. She's way too connected for anyone to remove her.

Plus what actually competent person wants to walk into that complete shit show and end up taking the blame for stuff that's already in the works.
 
It makes sense that the studio would want to pass the torch ala Ghostbusters Afterlife. The production was doomed as soon as Ford broke his shoulder on set. He is way too old to star in this sort of film. The mere fact that they want to make Waller into the new Jones shouldn't be a shocker. Wasn't Disney keen on making National Treasure 3 with a woman taking over Cage's role?

This Fleabag cunt is kicking my Anglo hate into the atmosphere. Literal fucking poison.

This one girl I was dating would not shut the fuck up about this show. She said if I liked Neil LaBute or Todd Solodnz then I would love "Fleabag." Those comparisons were already a red flag. It was just some 4th wall breaking dreck about women being as crass as men. It didn't help that she is a self absorbed protagonist that is in no way endearing and comes across as an unlikable, selfish and sad character.

Honestly, it looks like Mr H Review's leaks from over a year ago are the most accurate, going by the trailer. Mads' character name is different, but that's easy to change in post when recording the dialogue. As per his leak, the plot clearly centers around time travel and the Space Race, and features a former Nazi scientist working for NASA, who worked on Die Glocke during the war and wants to use it to change history so the Nazis won the war. The trailer appears to show Indy talking to his class about Die Glocke or something similar. Mads is obviously the scientist character, and probably the main villain, and the "Dial of Destiny" appears to be a renamed "Chronos stone" from Mr H's 2021 leaks, and is probably the power source of the time machine. Actually, it all sounds like a mashup of plot points from the first two Captain America MCU films, complete with a Project Paperclip reference.

Doomcock's claims aren't really confirmed (not to say they aren't true), simply because the trailer just doesn't show enough of the plot to say for certain that Indy is killed or replaced by his goddaughter. But time travel being involved certainly points to that as the most obvious direction to take the plot and I doubt Ford would agree to do the film if Indy survived to the end.

I fully believe there have been screenings, however, regardless of what the director claims on Twitter. Directors don't have to tell the truth, and the first rant he went on he was very careful to specify there were no "audience screenings", which leaves open the internal screenings that basically all films like this have to go through.

I also hate the title, which sounds like some cheap Asylum film knockoff about Alabama Joe and the Spear of Destiny (which would actually be a way better Indy film macguffin).

I sure hope they don't change the ending based on the supposedly disastrous test audience feedback. I want to see the artists' true intended vision in all its glory.

I hope they release Special Edition Blu-Rays of the original films with Ford replaced by whoever this latest unpretty mouse-haired actress is so we can all enjoy watching them cope and seethe when those don't sell, either.

I like how everybody's brain autocompletes "Dial" to "Dilate"... it's not even a joke somebody had to come up with, it's just there in your head, every single time you see or hear the title. Whatever our differences, we are all brothers in that respect.
