Congrats!

Little interesting trivia.

LOL to the headline. But like I said a trillion times I wanna see this "original more rough" cut of GONY so badly!!! However it's still a mystery to me how Marty and Leo could work with Weinstein yet AGAIN after this mess even though AVIATOR turned out to be amazing. Also trying to picture THE DEPARTED as a franchise 😅 Thelma Schoonmaker: “Marty [Scorsese] Would Rather Burn A Film Than Let A Studio Ruin It” — How About ‘Gangs of New York’? An interesting choice of words from film editor extraordinaire Thelma Schoonmaker, who has worked with Martin Scorsese ever since her landmark work in 1980’s “Raging Bull.” Schoonmaker says that Scorsese and herself have fought the studios on every single one of their films to avoid them being changed. She claims that they’ve had Final Cut on all of them (which isn’t true): Marty would burn the film rather than give it up. We would win, but it would be a long, hard battle. I know Scorsese has fought tooth and nail on many of his films, some of the stories are the stuff of legend, but I can think of one particular instance where they actually lost the battle. It was in 2002 on “Gangs of New York,” with the assaultive nature of Harvey Weinstein sadly prevailing. Why didn’t Scorsese burn the film then? It’s no secret that the biggest battle Scorsese had with a studio was against Weinstein’s Miramax on that film. Last September, when asked about Weinstein’s interference, Scorsese admitted to a creative struggle that clearly still haunts him to this day. “I realized that I couldn’t work if I had to make films that way ever again,” Scorsese told GQ. “If that was the only way that I was able to be allowed to make films, then I’d have to stop. Because the results weren’t satisfying. It was at times extremely difficult, and I wouldn’t survive it. I’d be dead. And so I decided it was over, really.” “I just said, ‘I’m no longer making films,'” Scorsese said of the experience. Yet it was “The Departed” in 2006 that led Scorsese to realize “I can’t work here anymore” after Warner Bros. tried to make it into a “franchise.” I’ve always admired “Gangs of New York,” but I will admit that as I watched it, in the fall of 2002, there was a sense that something much grander, and greater was missing from the film. Daniel Day-Lewis’ towering performance as Bill the Butcher hid the flaws very well — maybe his greatest performance ever, up there with his Daniel Plainview in “There Will Be Blood.” The original cut of “Gangs of New York,” which was shown to a few journalists in late 2001, including Hollywood-Elswhere’s Jeffrey Wells, must still be hidden in a vault somewhere. It was said to be over 3 1/2 hours in length. The theatrically released version was 10 minutes short of 3 hours. Wells reported that the behind-the-scenes battle between Scorsese and Weinstein ended with “a polished, cleaned-up version of the ‘Gangs’ being released in December of 2002” and not the one he had exclusively seen in 2001. “The work-print version [I saw] is longer by roughly 30 minutes, and more filled out and expressive as a result, but that’s not the thing. The main distinction for me is that it’s plainer and therefore more cinematic, as it doesn’t use the narration track that, in my view, pollutes the official version. It also lacks a musical score, with only some drums and temp music,” Wells wrote. He added, “I don’t believe Scorsese for a second when he says the theatrical version coming out this Friday is the one that bears his personal stamp of preference. My guess is that Harvey’s mitts are all over this puppy. Scorsese may have his weaknesses or indulgences as a filmmaker, but he’s always let his films play at their own pace and allow them to be true to themselves — their own tempo, themes, moods. He’s used narration before, but never in such a way that the narration wound up feeling like an encumbrance. And he’s never been one to speed his films up when they weren’t working.” Harvey Weinstein, the authoritarian that he was, even bragged at a TIFF dinner that he meddled with Scorsese’s vision: “So Marty presents the final cut of the movie to me as a final-cut director and it’s three hours and thirty-six minutes,” Weinstein revealed to Vulture. “If you thought there was action in ‘Gangs of New York’ the movie, you should have seen that editing room! But we got the movie down to two hours and 36.” So, almost a whole hour snipped off. Supposedly, Scorsese’s 216-minute cut had no narration either. Will it ever be released? I sure hope so, but Scorsese has never been one who liked extended cuts; the version released was the final version, but making an exception for ‘Gangs’ would be a much welcomed addition to his filmography.

However his natural curly hair is unbeaten 🥰 Wish he would wear them like this for once in a movie.

😄 Leo

So is this Leos real hair or a wig?

Sorry honey but not even close.

One of my favorite post Titanic movies of Leo. He's hilarious as Rick Dalton. His comedy skills are underrated. Love his buddy chemistry with Pitt. Also great soundtrack. Overall great entertaining movie with lots of nerdy cinematic details

^Disney is in trouble for quite some time. Be it spending millions of dollars for their live action movies of cartoon classics no one asked for, the mess of marvel and star wars or the try to find their old spirit again with failures like WISH, ELEMENTAL, INDIANA JONES, HAUNTED MANSION etc. They just don't know when to stop. However over 300 million dollars for a remake with CGI dwarfs never sounded like the most brilliant idea in the first place LOL Especially when we had not 1 but 2 medicore tries of Snow White live action movies not so long ago.

It's a very black cast. And I mean it in the most positive way. Next production stop will be Sacramento. It's the first time he has a movie kid in his teenage age right? His kid in "The Revenant" maybe was also a teenager though. However I loved his chemistry with Julia Butters in OUATIH so I can't wait for this one.

Great interview. Actor Charlie Hunnam Talks ‘Rebel Moon’ And His Focus For Future Roles With Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire now streaming on Netflix and Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver scheduled to debut on the streaming giant come April 19, this expanding sci-fi cinematic universe from filmmaker Zack Snyder remains a hot topic across social media. With its strong ensemble cast and a larger-than-life production, Rebel Moon has introduced audiences to exciting, new worlds, populated by a wide array of resilient rebels and ruthless destroyers, including the character of Kai, who has cleverly blurred the line between good and evil. Played by the actor Charlie Hunnam, previously best known for his performances in projects like Sons of Anarchy (2008-2014), Pacific Rim (2013) and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), he quickly knew that Kai was the ideal, next role for him. Hunnam said, “I read the script and just loved Kai - it just exploded off the screen to me. It was very, very personal, in a way. I don’t want this to come off the wrong way - I was very excited about working with Zack and incredibly excited about the world he was creating, but that probably represented about five percent of my motivation. Ninety-five percent of it was wanting to go on the journey with this character and really go on it with him - like sort of get out of the way and let Kai just sort of be an instrument - let Kai just sort of go ‘ape’ and do what he wanted to do. It was interesting - I’ve never had an experience where I felt kind of possessed before, and I didn’t really have to do much because there’s just this mad man inside of me who knew exactly what he wanted to do, as soon as I read the script the first time.” The 43-year-old English actor went on to praise the Rebel Moon writer and director, calling Snyder really fun and that “he really loves filmmaking and the process everyday is this sort of rock & roll, punk rock process of exploration, where he says like, ‘Let’s get weird. Let’s get wild and let’s see what comes out of us.’” During our conversation, Hunnam also revealed a rather unexpected behind-the-scenes moment from the Rebel Moon set.“Our big spider fight sequence that we have in the film took a long time to shoot. Most of us have nothing to do - watching in soft focus in the far background. I can’t remember if I’m exaggerating, saying that it was 18 days - we had to stand there.” Surprised to hear that, I asked Hunnam, “They could not have just put you in front of a green screen for five minutes and got this done?” Hunnam replied, “That’s the question I asked! I asked that question and no answer ever came. We just kept getting called back to set, so we went pretty wild during that three weeks of filming. There was like a lot of shenanigans going on on-set and behavior that I would never ordinarily get up to on a set, but we had fun.” Looking beyond Rebel Moon, I asked Hunnam if he has noticed his interests and priorities as an actor evolving with the projects he wants, compared to his thought process 10 to 15 years ago. “I think it’s a really, really, really interesting question actually, and I think that it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. I think the function of being an artist is to explore the forces that compel you in life, and the things that trouble you in the world and to use that as a vehicle to work through things and to explore them in a really rich and dynamic way. One of the things that’s difficult about being an actor is you’re normally outsourcing your talent to help somebody else tell the story that they’re interested in telling - and therefore, they’re exploring the problems and forces that are compelling them. You have to be really diligent to try to find some sort of unity in that and some sort of collective interest - otherwise, it can feel a bit of a hollow experience.” Hunnam continued, “I feel more and more and more compelled to find characters, not only that feel exciting and interesting, but that are struggling with some of the things that I am struggling with, so that I can use that process as an opportunity to work through it and hopefully offer some sort of conclusion. I feel as storytellers, that is the function of what we are supposed to be doing, is taking difficult human condition issues and trying to understand them, and bring them to life in a hope that maybe we can edify the audience that are inevitably also struggling with some of those same issues.” Circling back to Rebel Moon, even with Hunnam unlikely to return in Part Two, I wondered what he believes are the thoughts and themes that we as a society should take away from these expanding cinematic stories. Hunnam said, “Some of the bigger issues that we’re facing on earth right now, collectively, in terms of lack of resources and our rapid consumption of available resources, and the neglect and destruction that we perpetuate on the environment on a daily basis, is one of the big themes that we have to really start looking after. This idea that I’ve really awakened to recently, sort of based on The Drake Equation. If you look out into the infinity of the universe, that it would be almost statistically impossible not to have other life forms - and yet, we’ve seen no evidence to that. So, that would lead us to the conclusion that intelligent life forms are somewhat destined to destroy themselves, which is a really grim prospect.” He added, “That idea that single planet species are almost doomed to become instinct, for one reason or another, and the way to ameliorate that risk is to become a multi-planet species and to spread out. What Zack is saying, ‘Well, that’s all well and good, but if you don’t learn the lessons, then you’re just going to do to the greater universe or the galaxy what we’re doing to planet earth,’ which is a pretty scary message for us to consider.”

Love him with longer hair 😍

According to some locals of Trinidad Leo's using the undercover name "Jack" 😄

Maybe Leo will still appear in a "smaller" role like in Django? Some are even speculating Pitt is representing his Cliff Booth character (because it's a movie about movies again) so what is Cliff without his better half Rick? 😄 Leo would also have the time since Tarantino is eying with a production start in late 2024 early 2025. via deadline: I’d heard Tarantino did quite a bit of rewriting since then, so we’ll see. I read his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood novelization, and it fleshed out the story of Pitt’s character Cliff Booth, who, it turned out, was as much a cinema fan as he was a stone killer when the stuntman work dried up. If Booth went from stuntman to film critic, that would make a lot of hardcore fans happy; like many of Tarantino’s screen creations, he’s too good a character to let go of. via worldofreel Although no other official casting has been announced, the rumored actors that are said to potentially be a part of this film, which is said to be an “ensemble,” includes the likes of Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Walter Hauser and John Travolta.

Some sort of confirmation that it's indeed VINELAND.

Ordered my copy asap today (also the steelbook)
