Romão 2,274 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Wow, you might be right: Awful acting, though, whoever it was However, in this interview, Hopper claims to not have met Lynch prior doing Blue Velvet: I was a fan of David’s from watching the Elephant Man and that science fiction thing he did down in Mexico. You know, with Dean Stockewell? Dune? Dune. Yes, of course. Dune. So I was given the part in Blue Velvet. I assumed my agent got it, or David requested me. I really don’t know. But I was given the part in Blue Velvet without ever having met David. And I called him in Wilmington [North Carolina, where Blue Velvet was shot]. He was having lunch with Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern, and Isabella Rossellini. I said "Listen David, I know we’ve never met, but believe me: I am Frank Booth." https://www.gq.com/story/a-lost-phone-call-with-dennis-hopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it'll make a gazillion dollars, but that's only because there are those out there who will gorge themselves on anything with The Mouse's name, on it. Those poor people.

You just answered your own question, there. Once, Disney were pioneers. Now, they are just greedy, soulless, corporate nothings. They fired the only person with any real vision because he was supposed to have done something to women. Geez. Watch the trailer again, and count-off the...ahem...homages: MULAN; INDIANA JONES; STAR WARS (especially TPM); just about every martial arts film, these days. Is that enough? Millions of children (children! Fucking hell, they deserve much better than this!) will chow-down on their popcorn, and soak it up with Mountain Dew, blissfully unaware that they are being brainwashed by one of the most evil, and avaricious organizations on the face of the planet.

Jay 37,370 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Apple has teamed up with A24 to produce a new sci-fi drama film titled Bride with Scarlett Johansson officially signing on to lead the project Quote Inspired by the classic monster Bride of Frankenstein, Bride is being described as a story centered around a woman that was created to be an ideal wife by a brilliant entrepreneur. When she rejects her creator, she’s forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster. While on the run, she finds her true identity, her surprising power and the strength to remake herself as her own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I think Interstellar was supposed to be the big sci-fi thing, but clearly dropped the ball. One could argue that Ex Machina and Under the Skin (more the former than the latter) have had a fair amount of aesthetic influence on a lot of modern sci-fi TV and film. At least on the lower end of the budget. Plenty of off-brand knockoffs and parodies to be found on Netflix. And if you consider Gravity sci-fi, that film has pretty much dictated the look of every big budget movie set in space in recent years, including this Clooney flick (there's clearly a very Gravity-esque action sequence).

Which seems more exploitative than anything else. It turned The Martian from a good movie into a bad one. The Clooney one above is clearly best avoided.
