Thx so much for sharing

 

May I ask what motivated you to reopen the gallery? It's kinda rare to see fans coming back these days and I love it so thx for the effort

 

I’ve always wanted to come back with the gallery and it feels so good to share content and conversations with the fans. I needed that “scape” since my life is a little bit of a mess right now. So I thought “why not?”.

 

Also, when I posted here I was bringing the gallery back, I had a HUGE help from @Lilja K with the pictures. She had almost all of my old content saved and sent it to me. ❤️ That motivated me more to keep it.

I'm very grateful for your gallery work, so how could I not help? I hope your gallery will live long and prosper🌸

Director Richard Linklater did a bad thing. He compared Glen Powell to Leo 😄

Glen Powell is a decent actor, nothing against him, but I just don't get why media, directors or people in general wants to compair every new actor with Leo? Comparisons are dumb, let actors be what they are and that's it.

This 💯!!

I think this analyse of the state of current so called a listers is interesting and I mostly agree. Leo's career is not only top game but with a shining star on top which very few actors can match that's why everyone is reaching after him. Simple as that. Also after years of wasting new faces in franchises, marvel, dc etc Hollywood is desperate for new a listers who bring butts in the seats of cinemas not just once but steadily and on their own powers. But constantly being compared with Leo could also take some pressure on young actors to deliver on the same level I could imagine.

 

 

Recently, I have been discussing the state of the Movie Star, starting here, then we continued over on The Squawk, and now The Hollywood Reporter has crowned their “new A-list”, so let’s return to the topic and judge the new generation of stars. 

 

First, to be clear, a lower-case movie star is a person famous for being in movies. An upper-case Movie Star is a person who puts butts in seats, like Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and Sandra Bullock. 

 

THR’s list anoints ten young stars as the new A-list including: Austin Butler, Timothee Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Paul Mescal, Jenna Ortega, Glen Powell, Florence Pugh, Sydney Sweeney, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Zendaya.

 

All of these people are definitely movie stars. But Movie Stars? Chalamet is the closest, Wonka proving he can pull an audience, and Dune boosting his blockbuster cred, though to an extent, that franchise comes with a pre-existing fanbase that would see a Dune movie no matter who starred in it. Ditto for Jenna Ortega and Scream and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, these are movies with ready-made fans. She doesn’t have to sell it entirely on her own, which also goes for Glen Powell and Twisters, and Paul Mescal and Gladiator II. However, all of those movies are depending on these stars to bolster that existing fanbase with new, younger fans, which is what Chalamet and Zendaya did for Dune.

 

Sydney Sweeney is also close to Movie Star status, Anyone But You showed she can put butts in seats, though Immaculate, which she also produced and starred in, did less well. Anya Taylor-Joy, however, just took it on the chin with Furiosa underperforming. That’s not entirely on her, but she also didn’t drive people to overlook the hurdles for her sake, either. 

 

Zendaya and Florence Pugh I put the same basket of being VERY famous, definitely having the talent and charisma to be Movie Stars, they just haven’t done enough yet to prove it out. You only get capital-letter status when you prove you are an audience draw, and Zendaya has only led one movie, Challengers, which despite social media virality and meme-ification, petered out at the box office, which is exactly what happened to Flo with Don’t Worry Darling a couple years ago, too. 

 

Jacob Elordi: Is he a Movie Star, or is he just tall?

 

And then there’s Austin Butler, chasing Timothee Chalamet’s tail to be “the next Leo”. (I mean, they all want that, I just feel like those two are the most nakedly ambitious about it.) Like everyone on this list except, arguably, Timmy, Austin still has to prove himself a box office draw. The Bikeriders comes out at the end of June, and it’s tracking to open around $10 million, and top out around $30 million. It’s a specialty release that distributor Focus Features hopes can cop some crossover appeal with general audiences based on the combined star power of Austin and Tom Hardy, so it will be interesting to see how it does, especially given late June/early July is the most crowded frame of releases this summer. There is a LOT of competition, which doesn’t do anyone any favors in the current economic climate.

 

I appreciate that after a decade of trading Movie Stars for franchise characters, Hollywood is now invested in creating new stars, but I also think everyone is so anxious for The Next Movie Star they’re anticipating some people’s moments. Most Movie Stars aren’t made overnight. It took Tom Cruise all of the 1980s to get there. It took Keanu the 1990s. Some people do hit right away (Leo has been a Movie Star since his early twenties, after a successful run as a child actor), but most build their credibility with audiences over time. So even though everyone’s anxious for a new crop of stars to start driving the box office to higher highs, it’s going to take time to separate the wheat from the chaff and see who actually is a Movie Star, and who is just a movie star.

Very interesting article.

For anyone still interested in the Osage Nation oil saga. Unfortunately no Leo involvement in this one, but they are currently casting and filming the following in Bartlesville area.

SARAH'S OIL is a major feature film by Kingdom Story, the people behind such films as I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, AMERICAN UNDERDOG and JESUS REVOLUTION. It is produced by Kevin Downes, John Shepherd and Zac Levy. The film was written by Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh and is being directed by 

Cyrus Nowrasteh.

 

SYNOPSIS: In 1914 little Sarah Rector was granted a plot of dusty Oklahoma land, where she not only discovered an ocean of oil, but a rich vein of greed, corruption, violence, and betrayal that threatened her life and all she loved. Poor, and only 11-years-old, Sarah was pitted against the mightiest forces of the time, yet she prevailed with courage, family, friendship and faith to become the wealthiest Black girl in the world.

Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson with a large crew from Warner Bros. just wrapped up filming in the Borrego Springs area for the last 3-4 weeks. This chase and crash scene was filmed right behind the Reserve where I work. In the currently titled "BC Project", the character of Brock Vond is played by Sean Penn @seanpenn and Zoyd Wheeler played by environmentalist @leonardodicaprio and their stuntmen. Based on the filming done so far, it looks like it is an modern adaptation of the novel Vineland.

Nothing really new and probably a repost but I stumbled about this list again and still can't believe Leo make it into here despite all the "serious actor" stuff 😅 

 

Not that I'm complaining

Jodie Foster Wonders Why ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Wasn't an 8-Hour Limited Series

There’s already been criticisms about Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” being too long, at almost four hours, but Jodie Foster is saying that it wasn’t long enough (via Variety).

I was thinking of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ — extraordinary movie, three-and-a-half hours long. And I thought, ‘I wonder why they didn’t do it eight hours long,'” Foster said, “to be able to explore all these other people, and give them another perspective. The great thing about limited series is you can have that novelistic idea of going off into tangents and tying them together.

Foster, who recently starred in “True Detective: Night Country,” uses that show as an example of the “beauty of having a limited series” by “expanding” on a story. The gist of Foster’s argument resides in her having wanted more “perspectives” showcased in Scorsese’s retelling of the Osage Nation story.

My view on this is simple. Cinema is an art form and the last thing you want is for stories to be stretched out so that people can view the finished product on a small screen, at home, while glancing on their phones every few minutes.

You can herald the artistic merits of serialized television all you want, but watching a 3-hour drama, without pause, and not having the thought of setting aside committed time to binge-watch it, still makes for a far more satisfying experience.
