I imagine this will be terrible, given the source material was a P.T. clone that involved wandering down the same hallway over and over while spotting what changed (with occasional flickering lights to make it feel even more uninspired!)

HIM never thought I see a sports horror movie. Gotta say, seeing this trailer in IMAX gave me all kinds of Matthew Barney vibes. Big Marlon Wayans fan, looks fun.

Bleecker Street has given their original pitch for David Mackenzie's Relay (Riz Ahmed, Lily James) a fun '70s makeover.

The writer's bio calls it "an unforgettable ride into our darkest fears about America's future."

The social media reactions to the Good Boy trailer are almost unanimously if the dog dies I'm not going to watch it, or, I'll hunt down the filmmakers.

Phew, I thought it was going to end on a downer!

I need a version of that website but for mice and rats (particularly as filmmakers have at times been more cavalier about killing them on screen for real).

It looks like that website encompasses all kinds of triggers, not just dogs dying. Like here's a more general query

Looks like it may be good but the cgi looks even worse than usual and the blue filter color scheme is bad.

I just read one of Westlake's Parker novels for the first time last week, and both Shane Black and Mark Wahlberg are about the last people I'd pick to do a Parker movie. Granted Parker adaptations tend to be freely adapted to fit the taste of the times (if this were being made in the mid-90s, it'd be Stallone and Peter Hyams no doubt), so it figures this'd be glib, glitzy, and overblown.

It's hard to imagine this doing well. Who's the audience for it? Big, comedic action spectacles aren't faring well at the box office these days. Stuff like The Fall Guy seriously underperformed, and even reliable franchises like Mission Impossible, Fast and Furious, and John Wick have pulled disappointing numbers in their recent entries.

Really they ought to do it like the recent Reacher tv series: hew close to the books and adapt one a season. Reacher has shown there's a significant audience for callous and violent hard boiled mysteries on tv. A perfect landscape for Westlake's novels.

Don't know that Amazon/MGM is even going theatrical with this; its listed date is for streaming. If they can't get a movie star (and this was originally developed for Robert Downey Jr.) or Black to commit to a series, maybe they're sniffing after a series of films?

Ah, ok. It might do alright streaming.

Francois Ozon's The Stranger

I recently re-read the book for the first time since I was in high school (because it has the most memorable first sentence & my mom had just passed). Always considered it in the "unfilmable" books category, so I am looking forward to see what he does with it. I do like many of Ozon's films, but there probably are just as many of his I find to be misfires, so I don't necessarily have high hopes. The trailer looks like if A Place In The Sun was written by Camus and filmed by Bruce Weber.

I could see him doing well by the book if he were to bring that Franz aesthetic and needle the tone between Under the Sand and a sort of satirical element I haven’t fully seen him do.

Years ago I sketched out in tremendous detail how I’d do an adaptation (transposing the setting to the US) even taking into account the probably racist elements of the book.
