Movie Stuff
RIP Jonathan Demme. Melvin, Married to the Mob, and Something Wild were cable TV staples when I was growing up. Then he entered masterpiece territory with Oscar winning films The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia. I loved everyone of his numerous concert films I’ve seen and think his Manchurian Candidate remake is very solid.
David Fincher after months of on & off rumors appears to be set to direct World War Z 2 for release next year. I thought the first film was actually quite alright, having never read the book it was based on, but I don’t have any pressing need for a sequel. I’d rather Paramount just give Fincher a budget of $100 million to make any film he wanted to that starred Pitt.
Also read today that Sony has set a 2019 release date for their big screen reboot of Masters of the Universe with McG set to direct and using the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a touchstone for the type of film they want to make. I think McG is all wrong for He-Man. Just like he was wrong for Terminator: Salvation. I think he’d be a much better choice for The Flash as long as there is a good script. Of course my dream scenario for The Flash movie would have Edgar Wright directing it but he’s probably gun shy on Superhero movies after the Ant-Man falling out.
