Sometimes I wish I was stupid rich just so that I could lure unsuspecting filmmakers into my office with hopes of funding, only for me to laugh in their stupid faces.

Paramount just seems like a mess, with exceptions like Arrival and Fences seeming to pass by.

Like MGM, Paramount is running on fumes these days, and it wouldn't surprise me if Viacom eventually sold off the whole thing.flyonthewall2983 wrote:Paramount just seems like a mess, with exceptions like Arrival and Fences seeming to pass by.

I'll be severely disappointed if that isn't just 90 minutes detailing Casey Affleck going into the ocean in a boat and shooting a fish in the head.

Kechiche's followup to Blue is the Warmest Color has become two films in the edit and he's been legally blocked from completing the edits by his funders

Three years and one Wright film later, it finally looks like Wright will be making the film, with New Regency backing itdomino harvey wrote:Edgar Wright to direct adaptation of YA book Grasshopper Jungle -- If you are not familiar with the source text, it is simultaneously the most insane book to try to describe and yet it's all surprisingly intuitive in its normative weirdness (for lack of a better term) if you actually read it. I can't imagine anyone better to capture the tone than Wright

I dunno, to me he looks like a guy wearing pounds of makeup. Not as bad as Anthony Hopkins in HITCHCOCK, but still not at all natural.

Paul Verhoeven toning things down a bit with a drama about the persecution of a lesbian nun in the 1600s.

Despite the cast, Carruth's film still hasn't managed to get off the ground according to Tom Holland. A 200 page script probably didn't assuage investors

Borg/McEnroe, never thought I'd use "Shia LeBeouf" and "perfect casting" in the same thought, but there you go.

James Mangold to direct a remake of Disorder. Maybe he'll make a version that isn't dull and inconsequential.

It's a matter of moments before they shut the door on the whole operation.

Variety reports on two new Todd Haynes projects: a Velvet Underground documentary, and an Amazon limited series that will "“re-examine a figure who maybe we forget how radical they were in their thinking because they were so incorporated into our culture and outlook as a modern society."
Haynes doesn't say who the subject of the Amazon series is, but when I saw him at a Q&A for I'm Not There back in 2008, someone asked him what his next film would be about and he said (in an admittedly somewhat joking tone, and I'm paraphrasing here), "Oh, I don't know, something easy like Freud."
