Sunday wash
Meeting of the week
Can you imagine Stanley Kubrick watching in fascination as Arnold Schwarzenegger mows down an army of terrorists in a fighter jet? James Cameron probably didn’t, but now he revealed in a story that he was visiting Kubrick, who wanted them to watch together True Lies and to explain to him how he did which scene. This might have been better than going for an Oscar.
Toy of the week
Fede Alvarez finishes Alien: Romulus and it looks like he had a hell of a time filming it. In fact, if you do https://twitter.com/fedalvar/status/1783886270588219436?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1783886270588219436%7Ctwgr%5Efa086ff17bafdf9f20241dd945eccc558c5364dc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joblo.com%2Falien-romulus-facehugger%2F goes on sale, so I want it. And you probably too, right?
Preparation of the week
The third Deadpool is coming, but even after the trailers, we’re not entirely sure how many cameos, references, and winks will be in it. But it is certain that a lot. However, Shawn Levy said that while he watched all the Marvel movies because he’s honest, you definitely don’t need to binge-watch the MCU and Fox comics to enjoy Deadpool. It should also work for those who come to the cinema unprepared. So if you’ve been meaning to do your homework, you might now have a few extra weekends to spare.
Interviews of the week
The likable David Dastamalchian is right at home in horror. He recently appeared in Late Night with the Devil, fought Dracula in The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and you could also see him in Skeleton. So he decided to start interviewing fellow actors and filmmakers on the show Grave Conversations, which will probably be very close to the horror genre. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t be lying in coffins.
Numbers of the week
Numbers of the week. Zack Snyder is currently planning twenty-seven sequels Rebel Moon, each one will get a director’s cut, we’ll also get twelve prequels, an anime, a board game, a comic, a gamebook, a larp, and a printed paperback… or something. It does not matter. In any case, the second installment of his epic sci-fi flick is out and Netflix doesn’t know if it’s making them happy. 21.4 million people watched it, which is a little less than number one. But mainly much less than on Let the World Be the World and Mlada Dama. Well, let’s see how long Snyder’s slow-motion wheat can flourish on Netflix.
Easter egg of the week
Fallout is a serial hit. Whether it’s deserved or not, let everyone judge for themselves, but in any case, it’s a project that was done by people who have an idea in their infancy and weren’t afraid to let the world know about it. There are a lot of links to games.
Sequel of the week
Brian Helgeland shot the cult in addition to Retribution Story of a knight. And he had plans to return to it despite the fact that Heath Ledger has been gone for quite a few years. He approached Sony with an idea for a sequel, they approached Netflix about cooperation and they said they were not interested. Why? Allegedly because the algorithms calculated for him that it would not be a hit. Sure, film is a business, but maybe computers shouldn’t make these decisions… Too bad.
Pitch of the week
Two of the new Ghostbusters not very successful, but mainly a very good film. And to a large extent, the concept is to blame for this, which bet only on nostalgia and nothing else. But Ryan from Pitch Meeting will explain it to you himself.
RIP of the week
He died Ray Chan, which is a name that may not mean anything to you, but you know his work. Film architect responsible for the look of films such as Descendants of Men, Dungeons and Dragons and above all many Marvel movies. Chan worked on Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers 2, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man and Deadpool with Wolverine. Look has influenced the MCU like few others. He was only 56 years old.
Duel of the week
In the last Duel, we asked if you regret that Quentin Tarantino has thrown his project The Movie Critic in the trash and is looking for something else. Most of you would willingly watch his trip to the cinematic seventies in the cinema. Too bad, we’ll see what kind of compensation we get.
Today, we’re taking a look at Rivals with Zendaya, but not sexual tension, but sports. We wonder, which tennis movie do you think is the best?. Write the names in the subject, laugh in the text.
Good luck in a week
