Billy Zane as Brando in the upcoming biopic, Waltzing with Brando. Not a bad lookalike

Wow, that’s inspired casting — I never would have thought of him but he’s nailed it

A24 is looking to pick up Ruben Östlund’s next film, The Entertainment System is Down, starring Kirsten Dunst, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Brühl, Nicholas Braun and Samantha Morton, which "takes place on a long-haul flight where the entertainment system fails and passengers are forced to face the horror of being bored."

I could've sworn that, when announced, Woody Harrelson was coming onboard to play the captain (again)..

That description sounds like a parody of an Ostlund movie

They'd be missing a trick if they didn't call it "Airport '24" or something like that!

Parker Finn will remake Andrzej Żuławski's Possession with Robert Pattinson

Maybe they'll reverse genders so Pattinson gets to go nuts. That's the only reason I can think of for this film's existence

Posted: **Fri Jun 14, 2024 4:04 am**

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The male role is not worth the remaking and it would be really fun to see Pattinson go for broke as the lead.

Posted: **Fri Jun 14, 2024 3:26 pm**

It’s a horrendous idea. Weren’t there attempts to remake it during the 90’s?

Posted: **Fri Jun 14, 2024 3:28 pm**

Rosamund Pike already did it a few years ago in a music video

Posted: **Fri Jun 14, 2024 5:31 pm**

Plus Amat Escalante did it with The Untamed, and managed to make it his own rather than just copy Zulawski.

Also, wasn’t Finn’s Smile already a bland remake of It Follows?

You would also need to set it in an equivalent modern day city to the divided Berlin of the Cold War because that intractable division where your doppelganger could be doing anything in that alien-inhabited eerily similar-but-utterly different environment on the other side of the wall (where your relationship could be an entirely different one in a different land, as compared to the environment that has irretreievably poisoned it) is the main reason for being of Possession. The relationship is an allegory for the tenuous, knife-edge state of the world that threatens to tip into apocalypse at any moment. I guess you could do it in the setting of somewhere like Jerusalem, but would any filmmaker have the nerve (or ability) to do that in the current climate?

And doesn't Possession end with the immediate threat of nuclear war? I'm sure you can hear sirens and planes overhead as Sam Neill's doppelganger arrives. It's brave to remake an arthouse classic - it's hard to see how this can do anything other than reinforce the quality of the Zulawski film.

For a second, I thought it said BitTorrent. That would be wild.

Posted: **Wed Sep 04, 2024 2:19 am**

Fincher doing a Western is wild enough. I have always wanted to see one from him, hope it happens.

This description of Oscar Isaac’s upcoming film King of Kings is a ride

The film follows Charles Dickens as he takes his son on a multi-dimensional adventure to watch the fascinating life of Jesus.

Posted: **Fri Sep 13, 2024 5:59 pm**

It’s animated? And it’s based on an actual Dickens short story? I am pretty confident in saying that I will never see this.

Synopsis
Deadline wrote:The story follows Misty who is stuck in a loveless marriage to a brutish husband. Junior, her precocious 11-year-old is her only consolation. When Easy, a handsome vagabond stranger, appears, Junior hatches a plan to get rid of his father so that his mother can marry him instead. But things end up backfiring, so Junior comes up with yet another plan, this one even more devious, and with more disastrous—and unexpected—consequences.

Haven't read the full article yet but according to a recent New Yorker profile on Solondz, this project has been canceled due to lack of funding
