He will co-write a new movie with his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, and LOTR veteran screenwriter Philippa Boyens. Its working title is Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past.
I like that they call his son a screenwriter even though he has zero writing credits on IMDb. Colbert also has no features to his name, but obviously everyone knows his fandom. Either way Boyens is still involved so I’m sure she will be able to keep the ship steady.
This is complete bullshit. It’s always been about consolidation so they can charge more and produce less. Maybe they pump out thirty the first year, but it will trickle down until it’s no different than today.
Originally, the film would jump ahead to the 1980s for its ending, with Marty having made the shoe store he works at in the beginning of the film into a massively successful franchise. Now a rich man (but not a ping pong legend like he imagined), Marty would take his granddaughter to a Tears for Fears concert in 1987, reflecting on his life as they performed “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” He would then run into O’Leary’s Milton Rockwell for a final time.
Honestly, I’d be fine with this. If you were to
When Sandler digs deep into a performance, like the one in “Punch-Drunk Love,” there’s an eccentricity to it that most mainstream movie stars simply don’t have.

But this strangeness is always a stylish statement, unlike, say, Supreme’s infamous brick. “A24 chooses objects and ideas that are too strange or too narrow for a normal marketing department, and turns them into talismans,” says Martin Mangez-Casey, previously global director of digital communications at Louis Vuitton and an admirer of A24’s approach. “A24 dances to the off-rhythm beat of its own drum and it’s been consistent since it first gained popularity,” echoes Luz Corona, editor of Campaign US.
The way A24 world-builds around their movies and does fun logo iterations has been an enormous inspiration
Over the next six months, Van der Velden toiled with her 15-person team to nail down the look of her leading lady, creating 2,000 iterations of an actress unbound by the limits of physical ability, age or talent.
In recent weeks, she has signed about 60 nondisclosure agreements for hybrid movies (with real actors), full AI films and Tilly-specific projects, most of them in the $10 million to $50 million range.
This is so embarrassing. It took a 15-person team to “nail down the look”??? There are thousands (if not millions) of individual artists who can draw a
