Matthew McConaughey könnte sich wohl nun vorstellen, weiterhin in der Serie "True Detectives" mitzumischen

 

Few can argue that there was a more arresting presence on TV in 2014 so far than that of Rustin “Rust” Cohle, played by Matthew McConaughey, in HBO’s anthology series True Detective.  Rust’s “time is flat circle” comments (among so many other) captured the zeitgeist alongside the performance of his co-star Woody Harrelson (“what is ‘scented meat?’”) and the show’s exceptional writing and directing (by Nic Pizzolatto and Cary Fukunaga respectively).

But McConaughey’s role as Rust has also been an integral part of the “McConassaince,” which started with Magic Mike and Dallas Buyers Club, and has included films like Mud and presumably the upcoming Interstellar.  Still, his turn in True Detective was one that really resonated with TV audiences in a way few expected.  Might he do it again? 

In a fantastically in-depth interview with Deadline (in correlation with the show’s ongoing Emmys campaign), McConaughey speaks at length about the process of filming True Detective.  He states that the limited engagement was what appealed to him initially:

That was always how I saw it. One season, eight episodes, a finite beginning, middle and end, goodbye, look forward to watching it. If HBO had wanted an option on me for a Season 2 or 3, I wouldn’t have done it. I wouldn’t have walked into something where they could say, “We’ve got you for the next three years.

He went on to say that,

“I liked True Detective, the whole series and the experience of making it, so much that I’d be open to doing another one now. At the time, I was looking at six months and not beyond that. I don’t know of a feature film I’d sign for where I’m going to say, “If this works, you’ve got me whenever you want me for the next three years.”

 

The exact meaning of the quote could be debated — is McConaughey saying he would return to True Detective, or that he would be open to another limited engagement series?  And would that mean a return as Rust, or another character? (Please, Nic, if you’re listening, give us The Rust Cohle Chronicles, focusing on Crash — his 1995 alter-ego — or an odd couple series with Rust and Marty living together post-hospital.  Please.)So far, very little is known about the next season of True Detective, except that it will feature three leads, at least one of whom will be female, and that it will take place in California, focusing on “the occult history of the U.S. transportation system.”

For fans who were drawn in to True Detective‘s world because of its Southern Gothic style and story, this may not be as appealing, but the fact that Pizzolatto is still in control of the story is a great sign (even though there will not, as far as is known, be a single-director scenario again).

If you were a fan of the series, or are just interested in the 180 turn of McConaughey’s career and don’t believe that human consciousness is just a tragic misstep of evolution (to quote Rust), I urge you to read the full interview.  There is a lot of insight there not only into the character of Rust, but into the process of making a series like True Detective, and what it shares (along with how it differs) with traditional moviemaking.  The light is winning.

Im September wird ein erweiterter Schnitt von "Es war einmal in Amerika" auf Bluray veröffentlicht. Die Laufzeit wird dann viereinhalb Stunden betragen!

Shane Black wird wohl das PREDATOR-Reboot schreiben und inszenieren:

 

 

The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that Iron Man 3 and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's Shane Black will write and direct a Predator reboot for 20th Century Fox!

According to the trade, Black is directing and writing the treatment for the film, which will then be scripted in full by Fred Dekker (with whom Black worked on Monster Squad).

Black has had a long history with the Predator franchise, having cameoed in the 1987 original. Directed by John McTiernan, Predator starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of a United States special forces team that comes under attack from an alien entity that prizes the thrill of the hunt above all else. It was followed by a direct sequel, Predator 2, in 1990 before crossing over with Fox's Alien franchise for two additional sequels, Alien vs. Predator and AvP: Requiem. In 2010, Nimrod Antal helmed a reboot with a new feature, Predators.

There's no word on the extent to which the new film will tie into the existing franchise, nor is there any confirmation as to when this reboot might fit into Black's schedule. He's planning to shoot The Nice Guys from his own original screenplay as early as this fall and remains attached to Columbia Pictures' Doc Savage. Check back for further details as they become available.

John Davis is attached to produce with Matt Reilly overseeing for Fox and Ira Napoliello overseeing for Davis Entertainment.

Örks. Ein PREDATOR-Reboot? Ehrlich?

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Hätte ich nix dagegen. Finde alle drei bisherigen PREDATOR-Filme gut bis hervorragend.

[Souchak]

Aber muss echt alles und jeder aufgekocht und reanimiert werden?

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Von mir aus muss gar nix, aber in diesem Fall hab ich da echt nichts gegen. Schon gar nicht, wenn das jemand macht, der einen persönlichen Bezug zum Original hat.

[Souchak]

Einen neuen PREDATOR-Film unter der Regie von Gary Busey würde ich lieber sehen.

[Sebastian Schwittay]

Das hätte tatsächlich was. Und bitte mit einer ordentlichen Portion christlichem Fundamentalismus.

Nochmal zum PREDATOR-Franchise: für mich einer der interessantesten Außerirdischen der Filmgeschichte und ein Franchise, dem ich durchaus noch mehr Popularität gönnen würde. Das hat zum Teil fast noch mehr Subtext als die ALIEN-Reihe.

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Ein Reboot bräuchte ich auch nicht, aber es ist nun mal nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis jede halbwegs populäre Filmreihe neu aufgelegt wird. Shane Black ist ein guter Mann, schrieb ja auch das Skript zu den ersten beiden Lethal-Weapon-Filmen. Da könnte sogar etwas Old-school-Action drin sein, wenn er das wirklich machen sollte. Aber wie der Bericht schon sagt, ist Black momentan schon mit zwei Projekten beschäftigt, von daher wird das wohl dauern. Fred Dekker kenne ich nur als Regisseur von ROBOCOP 3 und NIGHT OF THE CREEPS.

Den letzten Satz mag ich nicht unterstützen, aber ansonsten geb ich Dir durchaus recht. Wobei die gottelenden AVP-Streifen für beide Film-Reihen katastrophal waren.

Shane Black bestätigt, dass es kein Reboot wird, sondern ein Sequel

 

 

Big news broke yesterday with the reveal that Shane Black has plans to "reboot" 20th Century Fox's Predator. Today, the Iron Man 3 writer and director (not to mention star of the John McTiernan original) tells Collider that his film does, indeed, tie to franchise continuity.

 

"Why start over, when you've all this rich mythology yet to mine?" Black says, adding that he can, "...really get behind inventive sequels."

 

Black will be directing the new film and writing the treatment, which will then be scripted in full by Fred Dekker (with whom Black worked on Monster Squad).

Sean Connery droht Haftbefehl

[jerryfrizzi]

Das hat Connery sicher bereits alles vergessen,da er bekanntlich Alzheimer-krank ist...

[Souchak]

Das hat Connery sicher bereits alles vergessen,da er bekanntlich Alzheimer-krank ist...

 

Musst Du jetzt wirklich dieses unschöne Gerücht erneut in die Welt setzen?

[horner1980]

Das hat Connery sicher bereits alles vergessen,da er bekanntlich Alzheimer-krank ist...

 

Seine Agentin hat diese Gerüchte, die übrigens von der BILD-Zeitung kamen..  kurz darauf wieder dementiert. Er ist nicht an Alzheimer erkrankt. Die BILD-Zeitung hatte Michael Caine falsch zitiert, der das übrigens auch paar Tage später wieder richtig stellte.. also wieder mal hat sich die BILD-Zeitung als BLÖD-Zeitung heraus gestellt

 

Sir Sean Connery’s publicist has denied that the Scots actor is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

She spoke out after his close friend Sir Michael Caine was quoted as saying the Edinburgh-born was “no longer in control of his senses”.

Sir Michael Caine raised fears over the 007 actor’s health in an interview with a German newspaper, Bild.

Caine, 80, was quoted as saying: “One must have serious concerns for him.”

Caine said Sir Sean was becoming increasingly confused, often not knowing where he was, and suffering from memory loss. Bild said Sir Sean’s memory loss was “noticeable” and that only a few close friends and confidantes, like Caine, had access to the 83-year-old actor.

The story in Europe’s biggest-selling Sunday newspaper appeared under the headline “Connery forgets his life”.

But Sir Sean’s publicist, Los Angeles-based Nancy Seltzer, suggested last night that Caine may have been misquoted.

Ms Seltzer, who described the story as “ridiculous”, added: “This is truly silly and nonsense.”

In 2011, Ms Seltzer confirmed that Edinburgh-born Sir Sean had officially retired from public appearances but said he was in good health “mentally and physically”.

This is not the first time the actor’s health has come under the spotlight. He has previously received radiation treatment to remove nodules from his vocal cords.

Hier übrigens ein Bild aus dem letzten Jahr von ihm, wo er meiner Meinung nach gut ausschaut für seine 83 Jahre.

Ok,ich hatte nur die entsprechenden Meldungen im Gedächnis.

Sieht aus wie ein gerissener 70-jaehriger der sich gerade neue Bond-Girls aussucht.
