in an authoritative filmography of the director published in 2006, there are two entries for the film king lear (1987). it was shot in english, but godard thought it was “impossible to subtitle” and recorded a simultaneous translation / commentary when it was broadcast on swiss television in december 1989, which, according to the authors of the filmography, “constitutes another version of the film. ” (47) if this document is updated, film socialisme ’s subtitled version would undoubtedly warrant an extra entry .
you might have noticed that studios are pushing a lot harder lately to make a film as big a hit as possible in its opening weekend. and films tend to open on more screens right away — a typical big film will open on 4, 000 screens, instead of the hundreds of screens it would have opened on in the 1980s .
director: tba starring: tba a re - boot of the eighties disney comedy has been the subject of dubious rumour for half a decade, but no official news has yet emerged. information from a crew member on the original film reportedly said in 2010 that a re - boot was in the works, and that it would not be sequel due to rick moranis having retired. equally unofficial sources named mike myers to play wayne szalinski, but i don’t think we should be holding our breath on this one .

mr. williams was not a central character in many of the catastrophes that struck the deepwater horizon, but he was a significant character in a “60 minutes” segment in may 2010. as one of the last people on the burning rig when he hurled himself into the water to safety, he would serve as the audience’s entry into a complicated world .
the percentage of revenues that the exhibitor takes in depends on the individual contract for that film — which in turn depends on how much muscle the distributor has, according to stone .

wall street: money never sleeps is oliver stone' s sequel to his 1987 film wall street. i quite enjoyed the original, and i thought it was a surprising effort from oliver stone. with this follow - up, he crafts a decent film that could have been much better, and in the end, it leaves a lot to be desired. this sequel is somewhat entertaining, but it could have been much better. luckily for stone, he assembles a colorful cast of actors that keeps this so - so sequel afloat. the film had so much potential in being so much more, but it ends up falling flat. as a whole, it' s decent, but it lacks the power of the original. michael douglas is very good here as usual, and his screen presence is really what kept me involved in the film. wall street money never sleeps is not a good sequel, but it is somewhat entertaining, just don' t expect anything truly remarkable. oliver stone seems to navigate sketchy territory with this one, and it feels like he is trying too hard at outdoing his original film. the idea of creating a sequel to wall street was interesting, but the end result is somewhat lacking even though it' s entertaining to some degree. i still think it could have been better, and the film' s potential is there, but is underdeveloped. michael douglas is the best part about the film, however shia labeouf lacks in screen presence and he' s not convincing in his performance. oliver stone focuses his sequel on the recent crash, but he doesn' t elaborate on it, considering that it' s one of the key aspects of the time where the story is set. fans of the first may be disappointed with this one and with good reason. this is a decent film, and nothing more. the plot could have been rewritten and more detailed, but it just fails to truly be entertaining and interesting in the long run .
a great sequel about the endurance of the money game and the pleasure for some to be in the speculation battle, with a sharp dialogue and another amazing performance by douglas in this compelling story whose sole misstep is a weak, unnecessary conflict in the final act .
“they were pretty concerned, ” said mark wahlberg, who plays mike williams and is also a producer on the film. “this is not the type of movie they’re used to making. ”

here' s the first trailer for edge of winter, a new thriller starring suicide squad leader joel kinnaman (robocop remake, amc' s the killing) and the mcu' s new spider - man, tom holland. kinnaman plays a father who' s struggling to retain visitation rights with his two sons (the other played by percy hynes white), and after they get stranded way out in the wintry woods, things go from bad to worse when they meet a new bunch of characters at a nearby cabin. this looks like kinnaman has a lot of dramatic heft to throw around in this one, and this may be the most fascinating character he' s played since he starred in snabba cash (aka easy money) back in 2010. recently divorced and laid off from his job, elliot baker (joel kinnaman) is desperate to spend more time bonding with his sons, bradley (tom holland) and caleb (percy hynes white). what starts as family
director: tba starring: tba updates on the awil remake have been somewhat thin on the ground recently: all we really know is that fernley phillips (2007 film the number 23 is his only visible writing credit to date) was signed to write the script back in 2010. producer brothers sean and bryan furst have also been attached to the production. we’re told the remake will be a

director: tba starring: not arnie. fox bought the rights for a commando reboot five years ago, and it is still yet to be matched with a director and cast. in 2010, writer david ayer said the 21st - century commando will be

ayer however dissociated himself from the project last year, and we' re yet to hear who might next attempt such a resurrection. die hard was initially meant to be a commando sequel - might this project too end up as an entirely different film ?
i was very pleased when the alberta government bought the rights to the film. many social workers in different departments see it now. one time i was in edmonton... and a man who had been the provincial ombudsman presented me with two new reports, saying that the richard cardinal film had helped force new policies and laws in alberta. young people in the audience said to him,' why do you need a film to be made before you change the law?' he quickly replied,' well, sometimes the government waits for the public to make a move, to push, otherwise they don' t know.' it was incredible. i was shocked but happy that the film was able to do that. but primarily, i made it for richard .
