paddirn, in Nicolas Cage’s ‘Lord of War’ Sequel to Shoot in Morocco in 2024 With Top Line Producer Karim Debbagh (EXCLUSIVE)

I thought that read “‘Lord of the Rings’ Sequel” when I was first scanning the headline and was a bit confused.

TWeaK, in Nicolas Cage’s ‘Lord of War’ Sequel to Shoot in Morocco in 2024 With Top Line Producer Karim Debbagh (EXCLUSIVE)

Seeing as the article doesn’t really say much about the movie itself, just the logitistics and financials of making it:

with Cage reprising his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov, and Skarsgard on board to play his son. In Lords of War, Orlov discovers he has a son, Anton, who is trying to top his father’s wrongs rather than stop them as he launches a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts.

Nice! Can’t wait for it to come out. Hopefully it won’t be like IT part 2, I was really excited after the first one (it was a damn good adaptation) and then the abomination that part 2 is happened.

CaptnNMorgan, in ‘I was told not to make eye contact with Tom Cruise’: meet the world’s most prolific film extra

Nobody here has mentioned that “no eye contact” is really common in Hollywood. To the point that various celebrities including Conan O’Brien had that rule for their staff but was totally unaware and as soon as they found out, they put a stop to it immediately.

I’m not saying Tom Cruise didn’t know but it’s definitely a possibility.

I wouldn’t be surprised, especially for A-listers, especially on-set. Eye-contact promotes conversations which, even when they are more stimulating than “Oh wow! You’re _____!! I loved you in that thing”, eat up time in a very busy production schedule. It’s even worse if the star is genuinely nice and personable, and sincerely appreciates their fans. It adds up to hours gone every day in 3-6 minute increments.

@CaptnNMorgan that's an interesting point.

As far as I can tell she never worked in Hollywood - she lives in the UK and the films mentioned in the article include a lot of British movies.

That might be why the Tom Cruise eye contact thing stood out to her as an example of ridiculous heirarchy.

I wonder if it was a Hollywood studio shooting on location, or some sort of co-pro.

CaptnNMorgan,

It still could be someone on his team telling people that and he is totally unaware. Idk why I’m trying to defend Tom Cruise I’m just not convinced this is what makes him a bad person

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

@CaptnNMorgan yeah I'm happy to be agnostic on it. Ironically though, him acting unaware of his cult's behaviour probably is a big part of what makes him a bad person.

I just liked this article because I thought Jill Goldston's life sounds super interesting.

BlueLineBae, in Watching Assault on Precinct 13

During the pandemic, my husband and I started watching movie anthologies of various themes. One of them was of Director John Carpenter. To this day, of all the anthologies we’ve watched, that one is still my absolute favorite. His movies are so much fun, influential, and evolve in very interesting ways over time. If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend enough to watch his other movies. Glad you enjoyed this one!

MaccaTheHack,

Yes, I’ve seen a lot of them and this is one of my faves. I stumbled on it about 30 years ago being played late at night on BBC2. The premise is terrifying. That scene where the little girl is murdered is brutal. Carpenter’s score on this is fantastic too

Gigan, in Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire | Official Trailer
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

I have no idea what’s going on. Why is there an evil orangutan? Why is godzilla purple?

LifeCoffeeGaming,

Shrugs it’s a monster movie, sit back and let it happen 😁

OpenHammer6677, in Official character posters for Dune Part 2

Sorry but Christopher Walken looks like Handsome Squidward

LittleTarsier, in Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire | Official Trailer

Does this have anything to do with the Godzilla tv show or the other Godzilla movie from this year?

caseofthematts,

This relates to Monarch, the TV show. It has nothing to do with Godzilla Minus One, the recent Japanese movie.

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

It’s all the same universe, the “Monsterverse”, which includes:

Films:
Godzilla (2014)
Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)

TV Series:
Skull Island (2023)
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)

The Toho film, Godzilla Minus One is NOT included

scytale, in Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire | Official Trailer

After seeing how scary and powerful he is in Minus One, I don’t think any type of fantastical depiction of Godzilla will ever top it. I’m sure it’s still gonna be a fun movie to watch though. Who doesn’t like to see giant monsters fight.

Reverendender, in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part One - Trailer

Thank goodness it’s a two parter. Not a huge fan of skinny Supes and skinny Ultraman, but if it’s half as good as the book, it could be great.

Gregorech, in Nicolas Cage Ready To Quit Doing Movies: “Maybe Three Or Four More”

He should direct next.

BeanGoblin,
@BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

He has directed one movie, called Sonny. It stars James Franco and isn’t very good.

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

It stars James Franco and isn’t very good.

I feel like those 2 things are related.

toynbee,

He already starred in it.

WarmSoda,

Bravo!

Everyone would* be yelling and unhinged. First thought is that The Whitest Kids You Know skit. You know the one. Yes that one, but bigger mouths and smiling.

tacosanonymous, in Nicolas Cage Ready To Quit Doing Movies: “Maybe Three Or Four More”

He finally paid of all that debt then? lol

How tf would he do a sequel to Face/Off? He was very dead at the end.

His work is always interesting though. I look forward to seeing whatever he lands on.

Take face/off of dead Castor Troy, put it on some guy played by Steve Buscemi. Steve Buscemi’s face goes in a vat, until they need john travolta’s brother (played by michael madsen) to become Steve Buscemi’s character. Repeat the basic plot of the first one (Idk I’m not in the writer’s guild) with these guys playing each other and you’ll have a good time!

bus_factor,

I read that he paid it down a while ago, but kept going with all sorts of weird movies because he was enjoying it. I guess he’s finally had his fill.

tryitout,

How tf would he do a sequel to Face/Off? He was very dead at the end.

“I’d like to take his soul… off.”

Patariki,

Dude use the spoiler tag, you’re ruining a great movie for everyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

Couldbealeotard,
@Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world avatar

John Travolta must go undercover again as Nic Cage to run a sting on criminals who don’t realise he’s dead.

The face is done with surgical reconstruction or something

@Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world avatar

I will probably watch anything he’s in out of sheer morbid curiosity.

KISSmyOS,

Bangkok Dangerous is a goddamn masterpiece, and I’m willing to die on this hill.

Recentlish movie with him that I really enjoyed:

Mandy (2018): Slasher/LSD infused terror movie excellently acted by Cage (that scream at the bathroom is a delight), with a really interesting cinematography.

Color of out space (2019): I don’t remember a lot about this one, except that scene at the kitchen.

Pig (2021): seek and revenge thriller that would make you cry.

The unbearable weight of massive talent (2022): funny action movie, Pedro Pascal steal the spotlight, but Cage doesn’t get behind.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Pig was a masterpiece. Mandy is insane.

I enjoyed him as Dracula in Renfield recently - my mini review here.

JJROKCZ,

I also enjoyed Renfield, didn’t go into it with a lot of expectations and left happy with my decision after having some good laughs

driving_crooner,
@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Noted, I’m watching it this weekend.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

@driving_crooner cool! The plot is terrible but the film's a lot of fun.

WarmSoda,

Color out of space is great. It’s just a family dealing with a little cosmic horror for the weekend.

Algaroth, (edited )

I don’t remember a lot about this one, except that scene at the kitchen.

That is such a Cage movie summary it should be on the cover. Sold me on it.

So many of his movies have the effect you end up wondering whether you fell asleep during it and dreamt some of it.
