'Lovecraft Country': How Beyoncé Inspired the HBO Series' Stunning Soundtrack (Exclusive)

How can you possibly transition from being the centerpiece of a monolithic cinematic universe comprised of two dozen films, grossing billions and billions of dollars to being the star of a franchise that is working on its third film with no spinoffs or TV shows planned? The answer, if you’re Robert Downey, Jr., is simple—you don’t. You take something as simple as “Sherlock Holmes” and you infuse that Marvel Studios formula into its DNA and you create your own damn universe.

After Universal became the first studio to drop one of their 2020 releases on VOD first with “Trolls World Tour,” and after Disney did the same with “Mulan” and “Artemis Fowl” it is now Warner Bros.‘s turn to drop one of their fall releases straight to a streaming service.

Though the original film is 70 years old, Akira Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” remains one of the most influential films ever to be released. To this day, you still hear descriptions of new films and TV projects as “Rashomon”-esque, as the style used to tell the mystery at the heart of the film has inspired so many copycats.

Back in May, after the world was told that Zack Snyder’s original vision for “Justice League” would be coming to HBO Max in 2021, dubbed “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” aka “The Snyder Cut,” it was reported that the cost of going back into production and finishing up the cut that already existed would cost upwards of $30 million. That seemed like a huge number for Warner Bros.

Back in the fall, it was reported that Antonio Campos was maybe going to develop a limited series based on “The Staircase” docuseries, starring none other than Harrison Ford. Of course, this was in November 2019, before the world started to burn and our lives were forever altered by a global pandemic and incompetent leadership.
