Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2018 Anyone been keeping an eye on the restoration and imminent release of The Other Side of the Wind by Netflix? The story behind it is fascinating and the upcoming accompanying documentary could be just as interesting as the film itself which, judging by the trailer, could be pretty amazing. He could do a film that Orson Welles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Side_of_the_Wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am refusing to watch that trailer, based on the fact I already have my tickets booked for the 12th in the only 3D screening my Cineworld is showing it in that week.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 3, 2018 I know a couple of people round here were fans of Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke of Burgundy. Peter Strickland's new film, In Fabric, is doing the festival tour currently and sounds absolutely bonkers. Here's a clip, which is suitably hilarious and bizarre, as you'd expect from him. Can't wait. https://deadline.com/2018/08/in-fabric-first-look-peter-strickland-marianne-jean-baptiste-toronto-film-festival-video-1202454585/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted September 11, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) They brought Charles Bronson back from the dead. Though, a movie where Bronson busts his way out of Hell to make another movie would have been better than this actually looks.

I have genuine goosebumps watching that. I thought it would be good, but it looks outstanding. Both of them could be Oscar nominated, which is clearly why it is being released in Oscar season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Part 382 of how Marvel are ruining cinema. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/19/captain-marvel-digital-deageing-samuel-l-jackson?CMP=twt_a-film_b-gdnfilm Marvel’s habit of de-ageing its veteran Hollywood stars is now something of an obsession. First, in 2016, there was Robert Downey Jr as a slightly weird-looking teenage version of Tony Stark in flashback scenes from Captain America: Civil War. Then there was 1970s, Bee Gee-barneted Kurt Russell in last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. And this week we saw the debut trailer for next March’s Captain Marvel, featuring a version of Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury restored to his 1990s prime for the period-set superhero epic. Marvel simply cannot resist flinging a paint-bucketful of pixels over any actor over 55, like a kid messing around on Photoshop. Prior to Captain Marvel, the technology has been used primarily for flashback scenes, which are often so stylised and filtered to distinguish them from the “present day” that the faces’ washed-out glaze barely matters. In Captain Marvel, however, Jackson reportedly appears as his younger self for the entire movie. If Marvel falls short on even a few seconds of rendered footage, the experience could be highly distracting. But if the studio gets it right, there is potential for further “flashback” movies to follow: After being de-aged for scenes in Ant-Man and recent sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, Michael Douglas has already said he would be keen to return as “young” Hank Pym. It is hard to imagine that Harrison Ford would not sign up in a heartbeat to return as digitally de-aged Han Solo, and even harder to imagine a scenario in which any such movie, decently realised, would not fare better with audiences than Solo: A Star Wars Story. The reaction to Ron Howard’s film made it very clear that Ford is the only space scoundrel anyone really cares about. Jackson may well be a better test subject. Most of us don’t know how he looked or sounded in his perky youth: he only rose to stardom in his mid-40s. And Jackson has aged well, his looks and voice changing only subtly. By contrast, one imagines Douglas’s hopes of starring as a young Pym might suffer from the fact that he simply looks and sounds very different to the way he did in the 1980s – as is perfectly natural. Marvel would have to go some way to capture the charisma and youthful vigour of Douglas in Romancing the Stone. It might even need to develop new tech to de-age voices. There are other issues. Audiences may enjoy short bursts of their favourite stars restored to their peppy youth, but will they sit through an entire movie centred on an actor who has been plunged into the digital fountain of youth? Can an actor exude sex appeal if we know they are a lot more wrinkly than they appear? Marvel, like Lucasfilm with its resurrection of Peter Cushing for Star Wars: Rogue One, has been using “ghosting” tech – loosely the superimposing of a famous older actor’s features over those of a younger actor performing in mo-cap – to achieve its results. The prospect of sex scenes using such techniques is icky to say the least. Perhaps what Hollywood really requires is the development of a new “suspension of disbelief” technique – a mind-altering substance drizzled over audiences as they enter multiplexes to ensure they do not question the dubious reality before them. Move over Smellovision, the era of “Sprayovision” awaits … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 19, 2018 Just wait until The Irishman, Keith. The old boys are such craggy messes that it's costing Netflix an extra $20M on top of their $120M budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technique is getting better every time it's used and has added some nice little moments to the films. Not sure how it'll work for larger sections of film because the effect will always be jarring, but if it leads to 70 year old awesome actors getting great roles again then i'm all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'd rather see great roles written for 70 year olds, but that's a bloody huge ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
