Awesome, Fassbender needs a comeback

In Fassbender's defense, he's been sucked into a lot of franchises since his Oscar-nominated turn in Steve Jobs. I see he's done some other films too, but they didn't get nearly as much press/attention as all the X-Men shit, that video game movie and that last Aliens movie (he was already tied to most if not all of those franchises for years). But then again, he signed up for it, so he should have known what he was getting into.

Yeah that was just my succinct and unintentionally misleading way at saying that I want him to come back to the roles that really stress his talents. He's been in peripheries of the spotlight making good money and I don't blame him, but yeah he's hardly an out-of-work actor in need of a "comeback." Those roles he's chosen outside of franchises have been poor by all accounts though, so I'm glad to see him back on a winning team (even if those directors he was working with have good resumes, so just bad luck there).

God, between Assassin's Creed, Alien, the slow death of the X-Mens, and the disaster that was The Snowman, his presence has become a bad omen of sorts (though that's obviously not a knock on him as an actor)

This all began when he was courting the killer robot Alicia Vikander, just sayin

I like his character in the Alien prequels, even if the films are flawed. His David is eerie yet engrossing, and one of those rare occasions where I completely forget the actor as he really becomes this.. thing

Set for a November 10 release by Netflix; theatrical possibility not clear

No way

Way

Big if true

It's gonna be killer

Runtime has been confirmed to be 1h53min.

Lean Fincher hopefully is Mean Fincher

New poster:



Fincher's Le Samouraï

Netflix will probably make 35mm prints like they did for Mank

Stupid tagline threatens to ruin great poster

They did make 35mm prints for The Power of the Dog, All Quiet on the Western Front, Bardo and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, so there is a chance that we get 35mm prints for this.

It's not stated on the poster but this will open in theaters on October 27.

The Other Side of the Wind, Shirkers, Gunpowder Milkshake, both of their Noah Baumbach films, and I’m sure a few others did, too. Roma, of course, got the 70mm treatment

Funny this should be named after the John Woo movie as it seems influenced by the same film that influenced his, Melville’s Le Samourai. Tho’ the trailer suggests this’ll have Fincher’s customary focus on process over emotion.

I’m excited. I think Fincher is at his best doing thrillers.

THREE Baumbach films got prints, funny enough. Also, American Made and Okja. I’ve been told that Netflix is terrible at archiving their prints and managing traffic for them as the company has high turnover and they have no folk with theatrical distribution skills. I heard most of those prints that played at the New Beverly just ended up in Tarantino’s archive.

I just hope that a 35mm print of this will make its way north of the border, instead of just screening it in LA/NY theaters only.

The Baumbach films are one of the relative few for which that really makes sense, since he actually shoots on film!

Surely I'm stating an obvious fact here but it's named after the comic book series it's based on. At least the poster suggests that.
