General movie news thread

OK, this could be good:

 

That actually looks really good. Loving the Josh Hartnett resurgence. Always thought he should have been a bigger deal.

 

I’m a little surprised that M. Night Shyamalan is still a thing.

 

You can work a long time in Hollywood when you make one iconic movie.

 

Unbreakable and Split were good.

The Village was 2/3 of a good movie.

 

Also this

The Visit: Budget - $5m / Box Office - $98.5m
Split: $9m / $278.5m
Glass: $20m / $247m
Old: $18m / 90.2m

 

That one iconic movie is ridiculously overrated.

It had the most obvious “twist” of all time.

 

I wonder how many good movies Tarantino has passed on since he vowed only to make 10 or whatever. How many directors kind of luck into movies that maybe weren't a "hot script" or even expected to be all that - and they became what they were known for. Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby weren't hot properties, they made Eastwood's directing career. James Cameron took a b-movie script "Terminator" and made it something more.
And I don't know if he counts "Deathproof" as 1 or .5. In any case - I'd love to see what he could do with someone else's script.

 

Tarantino is filming a movie in Vegas soon, according to an employee of mine who is taking three weeks off to shoot a speaking role.

 

That is how I felt about Alice Eve, Clive Owen and Eric Bana.

 

Sydney Sweeney is having Alice Eve's career.

 

Quoting so I can like it again.
