This looks really good. I have been lukewarm to most of Eastwood's stuff for awhile now, but this looks good enough for me to check out.
Australian classic Picnic at Hanging Rock to be remade as a tv series
BLASPHEMY.
I'm getting my pitchfork.
They still haven't even released the original cut on bluray, only the directors cut.
For anyone interested, David Simon's (The Wire, Treme, etc..) IAmA

Apologies for the double-post, but here's footage from that Heat Q&A I mentioned earlier
I don't know about anyone here but I so want to fucking see this!!!!!!
So a second round of American Crime Story is in development, and it has something to do with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I had serial killers in mind, but this could be pretty fucking gritty.
The Gulf Coast post Katrina was the most fucked up this country has been in a long, long time.
Here's another film that I want to see as I think this looks really good as I've become a fan of Alejandro Jodorowsky as I'm glad he's making films again. It's in Spanish with French subtitles but you can't deny the beauty of the film as it's shot by Christopher Doyle.
It's September which means, Fall TV season premieres. Gotham is on right now. I love September.
“Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.”
This looks so...incredibly bad.
I've been waiting for this one for a long time now. I've read the book, which is fascinating. The true story is an unsolved mystery (which I can't resist) and it's directed by James Gray.
What more can one want?
Donald Glover is Lando.

Trailer 2 for the new M. Night Shyamalan's film. McAvoy seems to be giving one hell of a performance (well, he always does; mostly). Anyway, I'm seeing it.
Possible spoiler Spoiler: There are rumors that this movie is in the same universe as Unbreakable
Looks like Arrival will be the Sci-fi movie of the year. Critiques are unanimous so far. It has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes so far.
Speaking of sci-fi...Luc Besson's new movie finally has a trailer and holyyyy shit does it look insane. The Fifth Element is one of the crowning achievements in the history of cinema (you know it's true lol)...so this has my interest for sure.
That does look insane but in a good way. I think I might want to see it.
Saw it this evening, it's well worth watching. Kind of sombre, but very thoughtful, well-made, emotionally affecting. Got me thinking about how people have innately different perceptions of the world, which is something we're seeing a lot of lately in real life with 2016's political movements.
It feels like something Michael Crichton would have written, because the lead characters are scientists, it's quite moody, and the various concepts of the film are thoroughly researched. More than anything else, actually, it reminds me of Sphere (the book, maybe not the film).
Websites seem to unanimously be calling this "terrifying" and the like, but...yawn?
Reading the actual reporting about the case and pretrial stuff as it happened, THAT gave me goosebumps. This just feels like they've given it an unnecessary amount of cinematic drama that makes it feel less like a chillingly real and brutal occurrence and just another ho-hum internet story. Am I alone here?
looks terrific
lol Tricky sighting!
