Cinema is saved!

[therewillbeblus]

Hey, there's a nonzero chance I'll like it more than Dune, which was the "cinema is saved!" movie for most of the world post-lockdown, so...

Aki Kaurismaki shooting 19th feature, Dead Leaves end of August

\:D/

[soundchaser]

Just yesterday I was thinking “wow, I guess Kaurismaki wasn’t kidding about his last feature.” Anyone else folks would like me to bring out of retirement?

Lynch- Just don't post about it on the internet or he'll shelve the project

[brundlefly]

A few weeks old, but Chloe Okuno's next is slated to concern the Dating Game winner who was a serial killer. (Universal background checks for firearms and game show contestants, please.) For Netflix, starring Anna Kendrick.

Great hook but, as that original footage is deep cringe and no serial killing took place as a result of the show, am curious to see how severely events will be re-worked. Colors on that set would present a severe aesthetic shift from Watcher.

It was looking pretty bleak for both David Lynch and David Cronenberg for a long while, so we've been lucky to get at least one more film out of both. John Waters may be done with filmmaking by choice, but would be a great surprise if he got to do another one (would have to get a sizeable budget too given his past statements on why he has no interest in making another film anymore).

John McNaughton and Michael Rooker collaborating again on new film Road Rage

John McNaughton:

The film “will center on a serial killer who only kills those who deserve to die—presenting a modern hero who is a bad guy gone good, protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty.”

“I’d wanted to work with Michael Rooker again since Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but we never got the chance. Finally, I wrote a story that took the genre in a whole new direction,” McNaughton told the outlet. “Michael Rooker as Stony; he drives a truck… and kills people. Stony is the ultimate serial killer… with a twist, and he’s going home now after twenty years, to settle a score from the past.”

David Mamet to direct and co-write a JFK assassination drama centering around the purported role of the mob in the event

Could not possibly be more excited for the return of our most insane living playwright to film

[therewillbeblus]

Hopefully he's still able to expel the linguistic wit that's apparently been absent from his recent written work.. I'll remain cautiously optimistic

[domino harvey]

As someone who has actually read his recent work, I have zero hopes, sadly. He did seem lucid in the Indicator interview though, so that’s something

[Never Cursed]

Oh I'm sure all his most recent plays have been garbage (his books sure are), I just hope that being entrusted with a larger-scale production (hopefully not exclusively sold on his name alone) means that he has to rein in his dumber impulses

[knives]

I did like his most recent film work, that HBO one, and if my mental timeline serves that was post decline.
