  • So @peter , At this point they are beginning with a , somewhat , clean slate , what is absolutely ground zero for story development and crafting a direction for the story and character?

  • One of the most intriguing trailers that I've seen in ages; Sandler has been wise to expand his range as he matures.

  • Godzilla is in no way a sequel, and the point is that the elements , and tone of the source films are what we’re appealing, sequel or not, about the recent films. Godzilla Minus One is a beautiful example of using modern filmmaking to energize an…
  • Top Gun, Ghostbusters, Picard and Godzilla illustrate how being true to source material can be successful and embraced by filmgoers

  • This could be a nice " audition" for Theo James.
  • I've said that they should have added traffic to the Rome chase in SPECTRE; this illustrates that it could have been done seamlessly
  • A high pitched voice is not limited to o him; it’s shockingly, and disheartening, just how many young actors have weak voices. Just why is that? Is it a lack of training, generational or something in the environment? It’s so strange.

  • CrabKey wrote: » @talos7 Film can make anyone look tall. Besides, it's 2024. Let's get over this short man B.S. Not BS in the least. They should not have to make an actor look tall; Craig was just about the limit.

  • While I was initially a supporter of Henry Cavill as Bond, as I saw him in more roles my enthusiasm waned . He has two films coming out this year that, depending on how he performs, could possibly sway me back. Either way, I’m looking forward to bot…
