Has anyone seen the trailer for COMPANION?

It might turn out to be a big pile of bantha poo-doo, but the trailer is intriguing.

Ah, Hollywood continues to mine the 1980s for ideas... We'll know we've reached the bottom when a live-action 'SilverHawks' is announced.

Thankfully, I have no knowledge of either Voltron, or SilverHawks (nor do I want to have).

I'm (barely) aware that Mr. Smith is some kind of director.

Sure but it’s even worse that there are people alive who want to make it.

This is a short film but looks good to me:

Ghostbusters '5' is happening

I love Ghostbusters, but how many apocalyptic threats can they face before the formula becomes stale? Some would say it already has.

[Giftheck 1,219]

If the post-credits scene for Frozen Empire is correct, then it's going to be focused on the Mini Pufts, and... yeah, they added a bit of macabre comedy to Afterlife, but they definitely are not enough to carry a film on their own, unless they're going for Stay Puft again, and that would just be retreading.

 

I feel like the previous two films did well enough, but they could leave it there, and maybe they should.

[Mr. Hooper 8,614]

The Mini-Pufts made me cringe a little. It was such overt nostalgia bait, meant to rub the bellies of OG fans and make us feel warm and fuzzy.

Teaser for The Electric State, the next Russo Brothers movie (before they go back to Marvel).  Scored by Alan Silvestri (the film, not this teaser)

This will be an... interesting film coming off the heels of Cobra Kai.

So there's a production company called 87North, who is behind movies like John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Nobody, Kate, Bullet Train, Violent Night, and The Fall Guy.

 

Well, their next action flick is called ‘With Love’, drops February 7th 2025, and stars Ke Huy Quan!

I thought it was the character from Shrek, but nope, it's the Disney version.

That makes sense; dashing good looks, a ripped body, a permanently blank expression on his face, and he couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Looks fun. Similar premise to Nobody, probably unsurprisingly. 

[tomsmoviemadness 4,762]

Trailer for the new film about the hostage situation during the Olympics in Munich, mostly from the point of view of the press. Looks very strong.

Daisy Ridley to Lead Action-Thriller ‘Dedication’ for ‘Casino Royale’ Director Martin Campbell

 

Hopefully he hires David Arnold to score it

[tomsmoviemadness 4,762]

Don't count on it. He hasn't used him since Casino Royale and the last few years he's mostly used composers that only do action droning.

[Jay 45,797]

Yeah, it's a bummer - that's why I'm hoping things change here!

‘Nosferatu’ First Reactions Call Robert Eggers’ Remake ‘Devilish’ and ‘Classically Haunting’: It ‘Goes Harder Than Any Other Horror Film This Year’

[Marian Schedenig 11,600]

Very much looking forward to that.

Search your feelings, Marian, first reactions are often fanboy hyperbole.

I've been looking forward to it before the first reactions (I haven't even read the article, actually). And I liked The Northman for what it is, so I've had no reason to lose my faith in Eggers so far.

Is The Northman your favorite Eggers movie?

[Marian Schedenig 11,600]

No. Although I've watched all three that I've seen (i.e. Witch, Lighthouse, and Northman) only once, and especially The Lighthouse is fascinating but not exactly easy to judge after just one viewing.

[Glóin the Dark 1,846]

One of the top three most anticipated films of the year in my book. I must try to rewatch Murnau's before it. 

[Edmilson 12,205]

From Eggers I've seen The Witch, which was decent but overrated. I definetly don't think it's a new horror masterpiece or whatever, at least for me. 

 

I think I tried to see The Lighthouse like 4 or 5 times but every time I end up falling asleep in the middle of the movie and then waking up by the end lol.

 

Never seen The Northman though.

 

That all said, Nosferatu really does look great and hopefully it will deliver.

I just saw that a couple of weeks ago, live with Christopher Young's new score. It does some remarkable things, to be sure, but I don't think it holds up as well, narratively, as e.g. Lang's Nibelungen or Metropolis.

It's underrated!

 

In fairness, I probably felt it was overrated the first time I saw it. It has gotten dramatically better with subsequent viewings.

Nibelungen

 

That's the most anticipated film of 1924 in my book. And, along with Murnau's Faust, of its decade. I just got round to Dr. Mabuse the Gambler a few months ago.

Is it that disliked?  I loved it. The mood was incredible, the settigs looked highly realistic, and I didn't know what to expect or which way it was going to go. Not a big fan of the second part of The Lighthouse (a movie which to me feels too much based on one of my favorite movies The Servant) and I didn't like The Northman (give me Valhalla Rising every day of the week!)

Not at all; it’s very highly rated! Still underrated, though...

Hadn’t thought of that before, but I see the similarity now that you mention it. The Servant is even better, true enough, but I still think The Lighthouse is brilliant.

I don’t know the latter, but The Northman is another one which has improved with rewatches for me. It still feels somewhat studio-constrained, though; I prefer free-range Eggers.

Guillermo del Toro hosts the first screening of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu.
