For YEARS I've been hearing and seeing on this board that Hollywood didn't want to touch the genre because they were money losers and the audience wasn't there.Now I'm seeing em all over place."1917" "Midway" "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"
"Ford vs Ferrari" etc
A trend? Did they discover a new audience that watches movies?

I guess with cgi they are easier to make.

With ILM's new Stagecraft system, virtual sets are even better than traditional post-CGI.

Stagecraft’s chief innovation is that it can project a 3D visual environment around the actors that changes in real time to match the perspective of the camera. When the camera moves, the background moves too, simulating the experience of filming in a different location. It’s a significant upgrade from green-screen technology, which requires the filmmakers layer in a static image or footage after filming in front of the blank backdrop.

Tarantino has plenty of fans plus it features two of the biggest stars today
When I think of period piece, I think of movies set in 18th or 19th century England, usually about rich people falling in love. Women movies for the most part. War movies could be their own genre no matter when they're set.

They were "in" when Keira Knightley was at her peak.

If you do that, then nothing is a true period piece. They all belong to some other genre.
The Wonder Woman movies and the first Captain America are period pieces, even if they're also in the superhero genre.
American Graffiti and Dazed and Confuesed are coming of age films, but they're also period pieces.

It’s easier to write a story set in a world without cell phones.

I generally think of movies set around the 1940s and earlier for a “period piece”, not counting war movies. Movies such as Little Women, Amadeus, The Favourte, Brooklyn, etc. But I’m sure that’s not technically correct

Really?Name the last WWI movie that was out before 1917?
How bout WWII movies before the last 3 years or so? I'm talking between the 90's and 10's here.

I don't think you understand the term.

It's way more in the comic book genre...same with Capt America.

RD Dawg
Early Modern Europe: 1500-1815
Victorian: 19th century
Those are your predominant period piece eras. Get out of here with 20th century American bull shite. Tarantino??
This is what a period film looks like. They are usually based on literature from the period.

WWI has been mostly overlooked by Hollywood. When I say war movies could be their own genre, I mean any war. WWII is probably the most popular but there have been plenty on Vietnam and the Gulf War as well. Last big one I can remember before last year was Hacksaw Ridge in 2016. In the last few years we've also had Overlord, Fury, Unbroken, Lone Survivor, and American Sniper just to name a few.

I truly believe that a significant factor in the downfall of comedy as a genre is the widespread adoption of the smart phone eliminating so many opportunities for comedic misunderstandings and shenanigans.
Hell, half, at least, of all Seinfeld episode premises aren’t possible with cell phones.

WW1 has been overlooked by the general public, not just Hollywood. That said, Steven Spielberg made WAR HORSE. Even Spielberg couldn't make a bunch of money on WW1.
I do like intentionally off period pieces like THE FAVOURITE. It's not entirely loyal to the time period, and throws in some modern flair to help modern viewers connect with the story. Also, because it was funny. But there's something to be said to flipping the bird to all of the pedants who would object to the cross stitching of the jackets or whatever. Just admit it's inaccurate ad move on.

You're wrong. You might want to look up the definition before you repeat this in public.
