June 7Jun 7 Exclusive: Ben Stiller to Direct 'Twilight Zone' Movie for Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian WayTonight, I’ve got a scoop about Ben Stiller coming on to direct WB’s long-gestating Twilight Zone movie, which is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.Believe it or not, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way has been trying to get a “Twilight Zone” movie off the ground for more than 15 years. The project has been a revolving door of writers and directors dating back to 2011, when Matt Reeves, and then Joseph Kosinski, signed on to direct.However, now it looks like it might finally actually happen.According to TheInSneider, Ben Stiller is now attached to direct “The Twilight Zone” for Appian Way and Warner Bros. Stiller has been developing the film quietly for about six months now.It’s currently considered an open writing assignment, meaning the script is still in flux — but the direction is clear: unlike the 1983 anthology film, this new take will focus on one contained story, not multiple shorts.One version of the script reportedly followed a fighter pilot testing a prototype rocket capable of faster-than-light travel, only to find himself 125 years in the future in a utopian society that—shocker—isn’t quite what it seems. Standard Twilight Zone fare: sci-fi premise, philosophical bite. That logline, though, is not final — a new writer could bring in something entirely different.Stiller’s attachment makes sense. He’s a longtime fan of Rod Serling’s original series and has openly cited it as a major influence on “Severance,” his well-reviewed Apple Original series.Stiller has had a fairly fruitful directing — “Zoolander 2” notwithstanding. His credits include “Reality Bites,” “The Cable Guy,” “Zoolander,” “Tropic Thunder” and “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”
June 12Jun 12 Netflix Paid Quentin Tarantino $20M For His ‘Cliff Booth' ScriptIn case you’re wondering how much it cost Netflix to nab the script for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” TheInSneider is reporting that the streamer gave QT a cool $20M for his words. David Fincher will be directing, and Brad Pitt is set to star. Still no word yet on whether Leonardo DiCaprio, who was offered $3M for a cameo role, will take part.Although Tarantino, known for his distinctive writing style, penned the script, he chose not to direct this installment. Instead, he entrusted the project to Fincher, who is known for his precise and atmospheric filmmaking.Pitt played a pivotal role in this collaboration. Impressed by aspects of Tarantino's script, Pitt suggested that someone else direct it, leading to Fincher's involvement. Tarantino, while usually directing his scripts, has in the past written for films directed by others, such as “True Romance” and “From Dusk till Dawn.” It surely helped that Tarantino was a big fan of Fincher’s last film, “The Killer,” which a source tells me, he believes to be a masterpiece.

June 17Jun 17 The 100 Best Movies of the 2020s (So Far)#29“Killers of the Flower Moon” (dir. Martin Scorsese, 2023)Martin Scorsese may like to think of “Killers of the Flower Moon” as the Western that he always wanted to make, but this frequently spectacular American epic about the genocidal conspiracy that was visited upon the Osage Nation during the 1920s is more potent and self-possessed when it sticks a finger in one of the other genres that bubble up to the surface over the course of its three-and-a-half-hour runtime.The first and most obvious of those is a gangster drama in the grand tradition of the director’s previous work; just when it seemed like “The Irishman” might’ve been Scorsese’s final word on his signature genre, they’ve pulled him back in for another movie full of brutal killings, bitter voiceovers, and biting conclusions about the corruptive spirit of American capitalism. But if the “Reign of Terror” sometimes proves to be an uncomfortably vast backdrop for Scorsese’s more intimate brand of crime saga, “Killers of the Flower Moon” excels as a compellingly multi-faceted character study about the men behind the massacre. Over time, it becomes the most interesting of the many different movies that comprise it: A twisted love story about the marriage between an Osage woman (the indomitable Lily Gladstone) and the white man who — unbeknownst to her — helped murder her entire family so that he could inherit the headrights for their oil fortune (Leonardo DiCaprio, giving the best performance of his career as the dumbest and most vile character he’s ever played). Finding the right balance in this story is a challenge for a filmmaker as gifted and operatic as Scorsese, whose ability to tell any story rubs up against his ultimate admission that this might not be his story to tell. And so, for better or worse, Scorsese turns “Killers of the Flower Moon” into the kind of story that he can still tell better than anyone else: A story about greed, corruption, and the mottled soul of a country that was born from the belief that it belonged to anyone callous enough to take it. —DEhttps://www.indiewire.com/lists/best-movies-2020s/killers-of-the-flower-moon-dir-martin-scorsese-2023/

Thanks for the article.

It was good but it's not the best for sure! It’s kind of difficult to decide which of his movie roles is the best! I would say that I like Catch me if you can, inception, shutter Island, and J.Edgar!

June 19Jun 19 Exert from a Billie Zane article:Another movie I always loved is Only You (1994). You played the fake Damon Bradley. Everyone knows your cameo in Zoolander, but even back then you were taking the piss out of your pretty boy, suave persona.Absolutely. Self-deprecation and a well-timed prat fall, that’s the thing. I love Chaplin and Peter Sellers, the economy of a physical gag. I can’t help but infuse that in my work, or at least a glimmer of it. You’ll see it in Titaniceven. If you watch Cal in terms of his reactions to information as it comes in, he doesn’t really care. He knows he’s getting off the boat. It’s that confidence of like, sinking-schminking. The arrogance is hysterical. It feeds the narrative and the hubris of the age he carries, but there’s such an absurdity that it would make [James] Cameron and I giggle. He’d yell “Cut!” and we’d laugh our asses off because the character was such a tool.Speaking of Titanic (1997), there’s a famous New York Magazine article titled Leo, Prince of the City, written by Nancy Jo Sales and published back in 1998, right after Titanic blew up and Leonardo DiCaprio became the biggest star on the planet. Do you remember experiencing that phenomenon of Leo? You were like 10 years older than him. Were you concerned for him or excited?Oh, excited. He was a lovely guy, still is. We were pals, but there was also a mutual appreciation for each other’s work. We’d see each other socially before Titanic, so when we both got the gig, it was like, “Oh, this is gonna be a hoot.” But watching that unfold… I remember when we were filming Titanic, we drove breakneck to the Chinese Theatre one night for the premiere of Romeo + Juliet (1996) and then drove back in the early hours to be on set again. And it was nice seeing him blowing up in real time, even before Titanic. Romeo + Juliet was really the start of it. We were like, “Oh, so it begins. Just wait till they see you running around with your little suspenders!”Were you partying with him at that time?I mean, yeah, I was living in New York in the late ’90s and we were like neighbours. I lived next door to The Mercer and I knew his crew, they were all young actors. But I was not part of... the pack.The “Pussy Posse”.“Welcome elder statesman…” Like the old man who’d roll in with sage advice for the young bucks having their day. No. But it was fun to watch. He did just fine. That kid didn’t need much help.
