Look who's also a fan @Lilja K Martin Scorsese, Again, Praises Ti West and the ‘X’ Trilogy Back in 2022, West’s stock was bumped considerably higher due to Scorsese’s praise of “Pearl.” The legendary filmmaker called it “wild,” “mesmerizing” and “deeply disturbing.” Penning a letter to A24, Scorsese wrote: I was enthralled, then disturbed, then so unsettled that I had trouble getting to sleep. But I couldn't stop watching. Scorsese, a clear fan of West’s filmography, is now doubling down on his admiration for West, telling the New York Times that the “X” trilogy represented a “different type of horror, related to different eras in American moviemaking.” The first, “X,” is “the ’70s, the slasher era”; “Pearl” is “’50s melodrama in vivid saturated color; “MaXXXine” is “’80s Hollywood, rancid, desperate.” They are, Scorsese wrote, “three linked stories set within three different moments in movie culture, reflecting back on the greater culture.” By smuggling thoroughly modern ideas into films that were also steeped in the aesthetics of the past, Scorsese thought, West had done “something bold and thoroughly cinematic”.

Kate Winslet Pays Tribute To ‘Titanic’ Producer Jon Landau: “The Kindest And Best Of Men” Kate Winslet remembered her Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water producer Jon Landau following the news of his death at age 63, exclaiming that “his passion for filmmaking only deepened with age.” Winslet said she’s known Landau “since I was 20 years old.” The British actress, who prior to Titanic was known for arthouse films like Sense and Sensibility and Heavenly Creatures, rocketed to blockbuster stardom with the Landau produced, James Cameron directed 1997 movie about the doomed ocean liner, which for a while, became the highest grossing movie ever at $2.2 billion (that title would cede to Cameron’s Avatar at $2.92 billion). Titanic earned Winslet her second career Oscar nomination/first Best Actress nom. In Titanic, Winslet played the upper crust passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater. Though engaged to rich guy Caledon “Cal” Hockley, Rose falls for Leonardo DiCaprio’s poor artist, Jack Dawson, while on board. Winslet would reteam with Landau and Cameron on 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water as Ronal in the $2.3 billion grossing sequel. In the movie, Ronal, a member of the Metkayina sea clan, provides refuge for Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family as they flee the human conquerors. Winslet tells Deadline tonight, “Jon Landau was the kindest and best of men.” She adds, “He was a man who was rich with compassion and exceptional at supporting and nurturing teams of phenomenal creative people.” “His strength in life was knowing the importance of family, at home and at work,” continued Winslet. “He was always full of smiles and gratitude. I can’t believe I am writing this, can’t believe he is gone.”
