Upcoming Films

[Edmilson 12,024]

My younger brother grew up with Sonic, but even he doesn't like these movies that much. 

 

Anyway, it's not looking good for the new Mel Gibson movie:

All I can say about the Sonic films (I have seen all of them and two of them in the cinema!) is that they are so much better than they have any right to be.

I haven't seen them and probably won't anytime soon but I'm happy Jim Carrey's still mugging the camera for the kids, I hear he's good in those.

New trailer for Sinners:

 

 

The trailer might be somewhat spoiler-y and reveals too much about the movie though.

[A24 5,083]

Oh no!

Finally the Old Guard 2 has a release date!  July 2 2025.  It was filmed in 2022!

Written by David Koepp! He’s been busy, this guy.

 

The movie looks decent enough. I liked Fassbender in The Agency and I’m getting similar vibes from this one. 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,790]

It's Soderberg, and it's Holmes, so... I'm in.

[A24 5,083]

It's an impressive cast alright. I hope it's going to be a stylish movie. We all need a little more classiness in our lives.

[Sweeping Strings 3,327]

A spy thriller with an ex-Bond, an ex-Moneypenny and 2 actors (Fassbender and Page) who have been talked about as contenders for 007. Looks decent.    

[A24 5,083]

Another Event Horizon variant? 

 

 

 

 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,790]

I'll wait until it turns up at my local thrift store.

Constantine 2 Director Confirms the Keanu Reeves’ Sequel Has an Official Green Light

 

Constantine director Francis Lawrence and star Keanu Reeves discussed the highly-anticipated sequel, confirming the project is official.

 

Hopefully JNH will score it!

[Naïve Old Fart 12,790]

If it has Weisz, Swinton, and Stormare, then I'll be happy.

German trailer and poster for Ron Howard's latest, Eden

 

 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,790]

Well, it has Daniel Brühl, whom I like, and having Ana de Armas is always a plus.

I might just be interested.

It also has Hans Zimmer writing the score, so it's up to you decide if that's a plus or a problem

Yeah. Good cast and interesting premise. I'd be quite looking forward to this one if it wasn't directed by the Salieri of filmmakers.

Oof! That's cold.

Ok, he's gone off the boil recently (a lot , recently), but his work up to, say, the mid-90s was solid, often very good (COCOON; PARENTHOOD).

I'm not suggesting Howard's a bad director, but not everyone can be Mozart. 

[Naïve Old Fart 12,790]

I, honestly, don't want to agree with you, @Nick1Ø66, but I find myself reading this and stroking my chin, thinking: "Hmm, a point very well made."

I want to like Howard's oeuvre more than I do, but I can't.

He's like Steve's one time BBF, Zemeckis: once brilliant, now decidedly pedestrian.

Still, I'll give EDEN a chance.

[Nick1Ø66 7,907]

This kind of artistic slide, I think, is why Tarantino said he's stopping after 10 films.

Zemeckis clearly had a spark of his own in his earlier works (I haven't seen anything by him since What Lies Beneath I think). By contrast, my impression is that Howard has always been the "competent, anonymous director without a voice of his own", right from the start. And I can see where that comes from, but is hasn't stopped him from creating some very solid films. And Apollo 13 turns out to be more and more exactly (for the most part) what it should be every time I watch it.

[Edmilson 12,024]

At the very least Ron Howard's movies inspired some fine scores by the likes of James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, John Powell and, of course, John Williams.

‘Starship Troopers’ Remake In The Works At Sony

‘Starship Troopers’ Remake In The Works At Sony

 

It will be interesting to see their take on this, as interpretations of Heinlein's book, and Verhoeven's film, have been, er, quite controversial. Some see it as anti-war, and some see it as a glorification militarism and fascism. 

 

Also, is it a "remake" of the film, or a new adaption of the book?

[Jay 45,625]

Shrek 5 coming next year

The Verhoeven film is clearly a satire. And a brilliant one at that.

[Nick1Ø66 7,907]

I agree. I'm just not sure everyone got that.

Apparently Steven Price is scoring, as Rossini is reportedly unavailable.

Has anyone tried calling him?

[Nick1Ø66 7,907]

The thing is, how do you make a movie about this subject and not use that Overture? Problem being, I think it's only ever been used in comedy films, for really silly bits like a fat naked guy running from a bear while the camera is speeded up. Or a group of people running after a chicken that swallowed a diamond. Or from a train. Anyway, there's usually running. And I can't imagine the audience doing anything but laughing when it came on.

 

I don't know, maybe the second half of the end credits, after the main theme has played and the audience has filtered out?

[A. A. Ron 2,471]

People will be confused when The Lone Ranger doesn't show up, but you're right. NOT using the overture would be an enormous missed opportunity at best.
