Work Life Balance, CinemaCon and More | HWP 1018

This week on Hardly Working, we’re asking a very important question…
Did Hollywood just give up on original ideas?

Because the lineup this week is INSANE.

Let’s start with food — because apparently everything is a subscription now.

• Subway already rolled out their sandwich subscription
• And now rumors are swirling that Chipotle might be next

Unlimited burritos?? Sounds dangerous.

Now into movie chaos…

🎮 The live-action The Legend of Zelda Live-Action Movie has officially wrapped filming and is coming in 2027 — with Shigeru Miyamoto involved.

🎭 Lin-Manuel Miranda is bringing Octet to the big screen — a full a cappella movie about digital addiction.

🐉 A new Game of Thrones movie is coming… focused on Aegon’s conquest.

💰 An Ocean’s 11 Prequel starring Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper is on the way.

🧙‍♂️ And yes… another The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is happening.

At this point, Hollywood isn’t making movies… they’re just continuing them.

Even Warner Bros. is planning to pump out 18 movies in 2027 alone.

Meanwhile, Disney said “hold my mouse ears” and dropped a lineup including:

• Toy Story 5
• Frozen 3
• Incredibles 3
• Coco 2

…just in case you thought childhood was safe.

PLUS:

• A Hallmark x Disney World Christmas movie crossover
• A Netflix reboot of Little House on the Prairie
• And a mysterious new film from J.J. Abrams

So yeah… originality might be on vacation.

This episode is packed with:

• Wild movie announcements
• Subscription fatigue
• And the question we can’t stop asking…

Are we excited… or just nostalgic?
