  • Apparently, the Croatian leg of the shoot started a few days ago and will continue until mid-June. They are currently doubling the capital city of Zagreb for Berlin. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9501877/Tom-Holland…

  • I think it's also worth keeping in mind that even if the executives hadn't wanted to change course, Snyder would still have done reshoots in 2017. Even with skilful editing, cutting the film down to around two and a half hours would still have cr…

  • The Persuaders always struck me as being one of the more obvious spy shows to turn into a big-budget American movie. Probably because it was produced by a company that created shows pretty directly aimed at the US market. Hire a good action di…

  • Given that it's supposed to start filming in about five months, I expect we'll be hearing some news about the filming sooner rather than later. @mtm As far as I know, this is the first news we've had about them being restored in 4K. I think th…

  • I recently rewatched the excellent 1967 comedy the President's Analyst, one of the best spy satires to come out of the 60s. I like it just as much, if not more than, James Coburn's Flint movies, though those had a different tone and sense of humour.…

  • I think we can count on that 30-45 day window turning out to be shockingly negotiable if a movie happens to be a success in theatres. Paramount is basically sinking fast anyway, so this is their last ditch attempt to save the company before they …
  • Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar A friend of mine invited me to watch this film as part of a ZOOM meetup and I was shocked to discover it's... quite good? The marketing for this was so appalling. Every trailer and poster made it look so baf…

  • I don't understand what the value of getting an English director would necessarily be. Let us not forget that two of the most well-liked Bond films of all time were directed by a New Zealander. Even in Bond's 1960s heyday, the star was a Scott…
