This should be better than No strings attached.
Kid, Thanks for the TTSS trailer and btw know anything about this film?. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAc23x2JJG0
Bryan cranston (amc breaking bad) is in it.
Thanks Feddy for the trailer.In the closing ceremony of Cannes, Nicolas Winding Refn won best director & thanked the jury for picking out a 'cinematic film' & recite an anecdote about contacting Gaspar Noe for Head Smashing technique. That got me hooked instantly. :) Wanted to check it out for Ryan Gosling (about whom I've written elsewhere, a contemporary 'acting great' in the making) too. NWR's Pusher/Bronson aren't 'great films', they're flawed but it shows great promise of vision & control. A 'director' is making it, not merely 'illustrating words'. The sense of control in a motley of tones in Pusher trilogy and to bring out brilliant Kim Bodnia / Mikkelsen/Zlatko Buric/Tom Hardy performances shows that he'd make a masterpiece or two in coming years. Hope 'Drive' is the one. 'The Driver' & 'Bullitt' seem to be major influences, but knowing NWR-Gosling, it could be more of Hellman-Oates films (the Man & his machine/rooster), & not to mention my fav. pair of 'Man in the City' 67 classics (Boorman's Point blank / Melville's Le Samourai). In fact, I'd think it's about as much influenced by Yates 'Eddie Coyle' as his 'Bullitt'. That kind of marriage could be harmonious to yours truly. (To self: Dei mOdhala Padatha paaru da)
:lol: Thanks for the trailer. Good or bad, I'll watch it for Oldman. But then, films like this a dime a dozen, mate. Gonna go back and dust my Harry Palmer collection.
It's a Kick-Ass trailer. Kick-Ass Cast. Kick-Ass BGM.
And a kick-Ass poster. http://www.cinemablend.com/images/ne...1311085173.jpg
IMDB rating of 8.9 so I'm expecting it to be really good.Quote:

There's also STephen Rea attached. Oh my!
Have you watched The Russia House?
Gorgeous piece of cinema. Connery and Pfeifer were locked for Oscar. Film failed miserably, and suddenly everyone washed hands. I love that movie. Love the atmosphere. It was more romance, but the espionage aspect was pure awesomeness.
Haven't seen. But if it's atmospheric, it would have to be absorbed soon..
I watched as Connery fan, and got lost in Le Carre's world. But best performance was by Klaus Maria Brandauer. Tragic.
Old news, any updates. India-vAme?

Local media placed Sam Mendes on a reconnaissance trip in Mumbai.
James Bond could well be returning to India for a second time (after 1983's Octopussy) to shoot sequences for the 23rd installment of the franchise, according to local media reports Tuesday.
The Mid-Day newspaper quoted an unnamed source stating, “(Bond 23) Director Sam Mendes recently made a hush-hush visit to Mumbai along with production designer Terry Bamber in mid-April for the film's recce. The movie will be shot in Mumbai and Goa during the monsoon season on a month-long schedule.”
A spokesperson for EON Productions, which is producing the next Bond film, told The Hollywood Reporter that "nothing has been confirmed yet."
The monsoon season begins in late June for about two months. The western resort town of Goa was also featured in a car chase sequence in 2004's The Bourne Supremacy.
The report also indicated that line production for Bond 23 will be handled by Mumbai-based India Take One Productions which worked on Slumdog Millionaire; the outfit also handled line production for director Ang Lee's Life Of Pi starring Tobey Maguire that recently filmed in southern India.
The last time the James Bond franchise visited India was with the Roger Moore-starrer Octopussy that was shot in Agra and Udaipur with the film featuring Indian actor Kabir Bedi and a guest appearance by well-known tennis star Vijay Amritraj.
Meanwhile, Mumbai has also seen a recent shoot for the upcoming Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol that filmed some second unit shots in the city. Online portal Rediff.com recently posted some pictures of the shoot featuring a body double for Tom Cruise seen with a BMW sports car.
Directed by Brad Bird, MI:4 will also feature popular Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) in his first mainstream Hollywood outing after the actor last year featured in the final season of Fox TV's 24 show.
India has also served as a location for another recent international production, director Roland Joffe's Singularity starring Josh Hartnett, Neve Campbell and Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu.
My friend was one of the PA's in Pondicherry, handling the locals (from logistics to makeup. They're playing tribes that appear in earlier portions of novel.)Quote:

Appadiya. Hope to get updates from your friend once they start production work. Nice to see Bond back in India. The last time was a bit of a racist affair (Moore/Bond tosses money to Vijay and says, "This will keep you in curry for a few weeks", ouch).
Thideernu mindla vanthuch. Scene: Bond was greeted by a handsome guy in Tom Sellect mustache.
Indian guy: Mr. Bond.
Bond: Yes, and you are?
Indian guy: Vikram, welcome to India.
Nah, he's not going to work in any other projects next. He's going to make his own film.Quote:

Quote:
When we last left Bruce Wayne, he was a debonaire aristocrat in the prime of his life. He had just defeated the Joker, was in prime physical shape and had restored order to Gotham's night. So as disconcerting as it may be, don't be surprised to find a much more brittle Dark Knight when you see him next.
While next summer's sequel will hit big screens four years after "The Dark Knight" bowed in 2008, director Christopher Nolan revealed the film will double that in time passed between movies, and will provide a definite finale to the storyline he began with, fittingly, "Batman Begins."
"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story," he told Empire Magazine. "We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after 'The Dark Knight.' So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state."
The villain, this time, will be Bane. We've seen plenty of photos of the Tom Hardy-portrayed freak of nature, with his bulging muscles and mask that provides life-sustaining gasses. In the comics lore, Bane breaks Batman's back, and we've seen plenty of indication that some massive brawling will go down. In fact, an all out, hand-to-hand rumble was filmed earlier this month in New York City, and as Hardy told Empire, it's going to feature some dirty grappling.
"It's not about fighting. It's about carnage," Hardy said. "The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action."
Hardy certainly has the background to make it happen; he starred as a brutal brawler in the film "Bronson," and in the recent MMA movie, "Warrior."
Interesting !
Btw. DDL is going to shoot Lincoln with Spielberg simultaneously with this:
"He has another feature ready to film next summer too: ‘Silence’ is an adaptation of a Shusaku Endo novel about two Portuguese priests who travel to Japan in the seventeenth century, and it will reunite Scorsese with Daniel Day-Lewis, and see him working with Benicio del Toro and Gael García Bernal for the first time. Jay Cocks, who wrote ‘The Age of Innocence’ and ‘Gangs of New York’, has penned the script."

Looks pretty serious. MI 4
Part III was decent too.
This is directed by Brad Bird. I'm IN.
Hey I like Part 3. To me that was the best in the series. Too bad the gross was average.
Fassbender's disturbing portray of a sex-maniac
He gaze-rapes a passenger. The helpless deplorable state of the character translated to the screen :notworthy: Exploitation & indecency of the sequence is felt through-out despite staying truthful to pervert's pov.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cVeI1lymAMI
Is this the film premier that Fassbender was happy that her mom missed ? :lol:
Yes. Lot of nude scenes. Heart-attack thaan. :lol:

8 (!!!) minute trailer.
'Dark Knight' rises briefly on IMAX screens
Director Christopher Nolan showed off six minutes of the highly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises on Thursday night. It's clear the comic book hero will have a fight on his hands.
The extended IMAX footage for Nolan's third, and final, venture into the Batman series featured a lot of Bane, the newest, macabrely-masked villain (played by Tom Hardy).
The prologue, as the footage is being called, will be released on several IMAX screens on Dec. 16 before Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol.
"We're trying to begin in a surprising place," Nolan told USA TODAY after the Dark Knight footage screening. "It's a good chance of letting people know where this is all going to go."
The brief journey is a breathtaking airplane action sequence which makes clear that havoc lies ahead for the caped crusader. Centered around the film's opening sequence, it shows the masked Hardy displaying formidable high-altitude badness.
"Tom Hardy is an incredible talent," said Nolan. The two men worked together on 2010's Inception. "In this he is so limited in his movement with the mask, but he brings something to every gesture."
Of course, most every gesture in this prologue means pain to Hardy's adversaries.
Because the film's introduction focuses on the new baddie in town, Christian Bale (who plays both Batman and Bruce Wayne) appears only briefly. Anne Hathaway, new to the series, is seen fleetingly as Catwoman.
Nolan called it all "a little taste" of the movie which he is still heavily editing.
Allowing many of the IMAX camera-shot scenes to be seen on massive screens gives people the opportunity to see Dark Knight in "the true film grandeur which is being chipped away" through progressively smaller screens, said Nolan.
The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

Scene where Salander gets molested is the one which clearly explains Fincher's vision towards the book. The book itself isn't that deep and all, waiting badly to see what Fincher has added to it. The swedish version too wasn't that great IMO. Thanks for the link, kidglove.Quote:

Even though I haven't read the book, I do think the psychological nuance, infliction & entropy of revenge should be of great depth considering the subject matter. IF not, it could only be a failure.
I'd have always thought this kind of thematic challenge was meant for Polanski. In Fincher, they found someone close to that kind of level.
