‘Muzzle’ Exclusive Trailer: Aaron Eckhart & His Dog Are Out For Revenge In Upcoming Action Film

Despite fears for the future of film in the new, seemingly disposable digital era, there are still many auteurs holding on out there in the modern movie landscape. For example, there’s Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and even Michael Bay (for, as director Tarsem said of the latter’s work, “You may not like it, but you know who made it”). But few directors are as instantly recognizable as Wes Anderson. Nothing happens by accident in a Wes Anderson movie: the camera moves are perfectly choreographed — sideways tracking shots are a specialty — and the sets don’t even begin to aim for realism. Clothes are tailored, hair and makeup is scrutinized all the way down to lipstick and nail polish, and music is key, creating a subtle, sometimes melancholy and always wholly effective emotional backdrop.

James Bond director Martin Campbell has said he was sceptical of Daniel Craig playing the role of 007.Campbell directed 2006’s Casino Royale, which was Craig’s first film in the role after taking over from Pierce Brosnan.Speaking to The Express, Campbell explained why he was a little hesitant to cast the actor in the legendary role, largely owing to his physical differences from previous Bonds.“My only reticence with Daniel… he was really a superb actor, there’s no doubt about that… it was the fact that with people like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan was that they were all traditional looking Bonds,” Campbell said. “All handsome guys, all sexy, all very attractive to women and so forth.“Daniel was obviously tougher and ruggeder, but he wasn’t a traditional handsome guy,” he added.

Everyone wants to be David Fincher when you’re making a capital S serious, severe procedural, and grim murder mystery like Netflix’s uneven but still fascinating “Reptile.” And to be sure, gray and sinister —like all good serial killer or intricate murder thrillers are these days— director Grant Singer might reference a Fincher shot here and there or try inventively add a little Steven Soderbergh paranoia ala “KIMI.

Eddie Alcazar’s latest movie, “Divinity,” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and had many varied, sometimes puzzled, but dazzled, reactions. Alcazar is no stranger to giving viewers unique moviegoing experiences, and it seems like “Divinity” will be his most ambitious piece of work yet.

Sophia Scorziello editor “Oppenheimer” cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema will be honored with Variety’s Creative Impact in Cinematography award at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. In addition to this summer’s Christopher Nolan blockbuster, the Dutch cinematographer has worked as Nolan’s DP on “Tenet,” “Interstellar” and Dunkirk” along with Jordan Peele for “Nope” and Spike Jonze for “Her.” “SCAD is proud to partner with Variety on this year’s Creative Impact Award, which will be presented to cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema,” said SCAD Savannah Film Festival executive director Christina Routhier.

Christopher Nolan is reportedly in talks to direct the next two James Bond movies.According to sources at World Of Reel, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is “zeroing in” on Nolan, but talks have been delayed by the Hollywood strikes and the director’s promotional commitments to Oppenheimer.It’s said the deal would see Nolan write and direct two James Bond films, led by Daniel Craig’s as-yet-unannounced successor.According to sources at the publication, the main sticking point with the deal is the amount of creative freedom Nolan wants for the project. Other directors cited as potential back-ups include Danny Boyle (Trainspotting), Denis Villeneuve (Dune) and Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy).During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast earlier this year, Nolan said it would be “an amazing privilege” to direct a James Bond film.“The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent,” he explained.

For an hour, Finestkind is the kind of movie they don’t make any more, and just when you’re starting to adapt to its gentle, circadian rhythms (which is about halfway through), it becomes the kind of movie they make all the time. Though it just about works, it’s a curious hybrid of emotional felladrama and  gangster realism, something writer Brian Helgeland has essayed before, notably with his script for Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River. A few years back, this could have been a Malpaso production too, and it’s not hard to imagine Eastwood in the role played here by Tommy Lee Jones, an awards-friendly supporting role that gives the veteran actor his very own mini-Gran Torino.

Todd Gilchrist editor “I’ve never really had a marketing plan ever in my career,” says Gerald Maxwell Rivera, better known as Maxwell. Though he acknowledges “I’m sure someone was doing one in the building somewhere,” the reason why a more concerted effort wasn’t made may be because the R&B singer, songwriter and producer seemed to arrive fully-formed upon the release of “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite,” his lush, libidinous 1996 debut album.

The two seemingly unstoppable phenoms of summer 2023 are each setting new milestones this weekend as Greta Gerwig’s Barbie through Friday has become the No.1 film of the year globally, overtaking The Super Mario Bros Movie with $1.365B.

Matt Damon has been praised for his response to a reporter’s question about teachers’ salaries in a newly resurfaced video.The actor, who most recently featured in Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer, attended a Save Our Schools march in Washington DC in August 2011, with interview footage from the event revealing Damon’s commitment to the cause.In a recorded interview with Reason.TV – during which Damon stood alongside his mother, who is a teacher – the actor was asked a question that suggested teachers would work harder if they had less job security, similar to the unreliable nature of acting jobs.“You think job insecurity is what makes me work hard?” Damon replied. “I want to be an actor, it’s not an incentive.”Thought I’d share this:A clip from an interview with actor Matt Damon from around 10yrs ago.His mom’s a teacher.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter This “Barbie” is officially the highest-grossing movie of the year in North America. Greta Gerwig’s fantasy-comedy, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has generated $575.4 million at the domestic box office, overtaking the previous champion, “The Super Mario Bros.

Blue Beetle,” part of the DC Extended Universe, was squished last weekend when it made a measly $45 million at the worldwide box office. That floperoo follows a string of embarrassing DC bombs in the past year, including “Black Adam,” “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” and “The Flash.” Losers, all.Over at Marvel, the situation isn’t as bleak, but the party is winding down.

Logan Paul’s initial review of Oppenheimer was not favorable to the Christopher Nolan film and had him walk out of the movie theater because it wasn’t as action-packed as he seemingly expected.

Ethan Shanfeld Charlize Theron has retired from taking on roles with extreme body transformations. “I will never, ever do a movie again and say, ‘Yeah, I’ll gain 40 pounds.’ I will never do it again because you can’t take it off,” the “Fast X” star told Allure. “When I was 27, I did ‘Monster.’ I lost 30 pounds, like, overnight.

TeamDeakins, the podcast run by acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins and James Deakins, his collaborator, a script supervisor, and his wife, is consistently entertaining and listenable. On a recent episode, the Deakins duo had actor Benicio del Toro on the podcast to discuss their work together on “Sicario”—Roger was the DP, del Toro co-starred— and much of the Latin American actor’s impressive career.

latest episode of his podcast, “ImPaulsive,” Paul, 28, revealed that he walked out of the buzzy summer flick. “I didn’t know what they were trying [to do]. ‘What are you doing?’ Everyone’s just talking.
