Little Women trailer! [link]
I AM EXCITE!! I really like the Gilliam Armstrong version with Winona Ryder except I never quite got over how spitfire Kirsten Dunst could turn into limp-wristed Samantha Mathis as Amy. Looks like they have Florence Pugh playing Amy throughout, which is a smart play, I think. I think that's the bit of casting I'm mostly psyched by, although Ronan and Chalamet as Jo and Laurie look terrific together.
It looks so pretty and the costumes are great! It's a December release and I don't think it's playing in the festival circuit although I would be tickled pink if I could see it early.
It also has Meryl Streep as Aunt March ... (and Laura Dern as Marmee)
Hobbs & Shaw is exactly what I want out of a summer movie (that isn't a Marvel movie). That was a ton of ridiculous fun. You got Idris Elba. You got Mr. The Rock. You got Jason Statham. What's not to love?
Richard Linklater is filming Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along in real time. It will take him 20 years to complete.
Interesting. I hope they at least attempt the singing live on set thing.
Huh. Best of luck to him with that!
I don't think I ever did watch Boyhood.
I am...dubious.
I mean, honestly, I'd rather just see the two of them (plus whoever plays Charlie) in a live production.
Going to Toronto International Film Festival next week! The ticket redemption/selection process remains stressful AF. I ended up not being able to get tickets to either Parasite and Knives Out, and actually coughed up $$ to get a resale ticket for Parasite from Stubhub (/o). I'm gonna keep trying out for Knives Out until the screening day, but if it doesn't happen, c'est la vie.
Schedule of screenings I've got tickets for so far: [link]
Psyched about a lot of these, but especially for Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Parasite, Just Mercy, Marriage Story, Weathering With You, Waves, Jo Jo Rabbit and How to Build a Girl. Also cracking up at how I have tickets to TWO separate movies about art theft, The Burnt Orange Heresy and Lyrebird, which also happen to have the same leading man (Claes Bang from The Square, which was also about art, so I guess this is his weird niche now). It's like an arthouse equivalent of having two asteroids movies or two volcano movies happening at the same time.
There is one day when the first screening is at 9 AM and the last screening ends at 11:18 PM. I am gonna be a mess by the time I get home. Wheeeee! I CAN'T WAIT.
