You've got to what to the what now? 

That's Billy Zane?

Oh my. I really thought it was Brando.

Holy shit, that looks like Brando. Did they dig out an old picture from The Godfather and retouched?

you want to impress me? Show me Billy Zane wearing an ice bucket

The End

Director: Joshua Oppenheimer (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence)

Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, Moses Ingram, Bronagh Gallagher, Tim McInnerny, Lennie James, and Michael Shannon

The one thing you need to know (if you choose to not watch the trailer), it is a musical

I'll be there day 1 for that too. I like strange stuff apparently.

Small Things Like These (2024) Official Trailer - Cillian Murphy, Emily Watson

That's out this weekend near me but it's not as wide spread of a release. I think it'll be just as a few theaters as Juror #2 was.

[RIPPA]

Mickey 17 (the Bong Joon Ho-directed film starring Robert Pattinson) has been delayed again

It was set to release on January 31, 2025. It will now release on April 18, 2025. (It's original release date was March 29, 2024)

Its new release date was supposed to go to the Michael Jackson biopic and is Easter weekend so it technically is a better release date

I'm going to try to see it next week

In news that probably only excite @supremebve, myself, and a couple other people, Eddie Murphy is set to play George Clinton in a biopic directed by Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters, Dreamgirls, The Good Liar). It's going to be distributed by Amazon and MGM.

They already have my money.

[Curt McGirt]

Dude fuck yeah! If he can nail Dolemite he can nail George. The coke frenzy will be something else. I just hope they show the anecdote where they would have a softball-size rock of blow that they would just take a knife and shave chunks off of.

I literally finished the book the movie is going to be based on last night.  Eddie Murphy and George Clinton are two of my top-10 favorite entertainers of all time.  I'm there night one.

[Brian Fowler]

Murphy was incredible in Dreamgirls, so that gives hope for this alone.

[RIPPA]

I was reading that post quickly and thought it said Bill Clinton was directing and was really fucking confused

[(BP)]

The world would be a better place if actors couldn’t play real people in movies unless they’d shared cocaine together at least once. 

[Curt McGirt]

There's got to be a Rick James biopic at some point, right?

I've read quite a few music biographies, and let me tell you that Rick James' biography would easily make the most entertaining movie.  Rick James got signed to Motown in 1965.  His first album dropped in 1978.  That damn near 15 year period where he isn't anywhere close to famous is crazier than anything in the George Clinton book.  

[Curt McGirt]

I can't remember if I read that or I'm just thinking of the documentary, but all I can remember from that period is him getting thrown in the brig for desertion and meeting up with Neil Young in Canada and almost hitting it on Motown.

Him getting locked up and just walking out of jail, getting caught and agreeing to enlist in the Navy only to go AWOL, then going to Canada starting a band with Neil Young, getting signed to Motown only for them to say, "wait, we can't put your record out, you're supposed to be in jail," and all types of other shit.  He essentially walked the earth like Caine from Kung Fu, except he's crazy ass Rick James.  There is endless string of shit that could be a movie in that book, before you get to the crazy drug-fueled shit that essentially ended his career.  

[Curt McGirt]

I feel like I definitely read either Super Freak or his own book but neither of them seem to be showing up at the library I frequent. Ah well. 

But yeah, it's a lot. I would simply like to know more about his life growing up in Buffalo and how that led him to be who he was.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) Teaser Trailer.

[RIPPA]

Random Notes

• Anne Hathaway and Zendaya have joined the cast of whatever the fuck the next Christopher Nolan movie is. Tom Holland and Matt Damon have already been announced for said cast
• Ridley Scott next movie will not be the Bee Gees biopic like everyone thought. Instead it will be called The Dog Stars and will star Paul Mescal. Shooting will begin once Mescal finishes up his run in Streetcar Name Desire on Broadway.
• Disney Animation confirmed that Shakira will return for Zootopia 2 with a new song

My balls are so fucking tight after watching the M:I - Final Reckoning trailer. Some thoughts...

I don't give a motherfuck if the Dead Reckoning "Part 1" didn't do all that well. It fucking ruled. Maybe market it better and saddle movies with titles that have "PART 1" in them because all they'll think is of shit like Deathly Hollows Part 1 where absolutely nothing happens for 2 and a half hours.

And because I'm damn near on the spectrum for all of the M:I movies, I watched this fucking trailer probably 5 times. Hell, I just re-watched Dead Reckoning over the weekend. I figured I'd do a trailer breakdown because why not...

• Now we know why Cruise and McQuarrie were fucking around on biplanes when they debuted the trailer for Dead Reckoning. They were practicing for biplane stunts in this one.
• At 10 seconds it could be Ethan with the completed key, but part of me thinks it would be really wild if it were somehow Solomon Lane and that dude managed to escape prison again just because he's been the best boogeyman in this series.
• You get to see Hunt's dossier at 16 seconds, which is the first time you get to see any kind of detailed background on Hunt aside from the first movie where they apprehended his parents for being drug smugglers. You get to see his height, 5'8", so at least he's unlike Vin Diesel and doesn't give a shit about being short anymore, Hunt was in the Army, went to University of Pennsylvania, and it says who he was recruited by, which wasn't Phelps.
• The black knife Jean Reno had in the first one makes its return and I already know about the guy with the glasses at Langley in the first movie having a cameo in this one.
• Looks like North or South Koreans find the completed key, but I'm guessing that's a flashback to when the keys are found.
• Angela Bassett is back and it looks like she is indeed the president, which was thought to be the case from her picture in the background at the start of Dead Reckoning.
• Hey! Pom Klementif is now part of the Scooby Gang!
• Luther wearing...scrubs?
• At 1:19 it's either Michelle Monaghan or Rebecca Ferguson kissing Ethan underwater (likely a hallucination to wake him up).
• The giant bomb at 1:23 is a way larger version of the fake bomb from the airport in Dead Reckoning. Given all of the fate of the world stuff, I wonder if it's Project Sundial (DON'T LOOK THAT UP, it's nothing pleasant and it's fucking scary).
• So the first few times I watched the trailer I thought it was Jeremy Renner or Shea Whigam fighting with the black guy from Dead Reckoning. It's neither. It's not even the White Widow's brother. It's just a dude.
• At 1:37 that's either the Rabbit's Foot from M:I 3 making its return or it's a flashback to stealing the Rabbit's Foot in Shanghai.

And that's about it. It looks fucking awesome. Fuck I love these movies even if Cruise is a wackadoo Scientologist son of a bitch. If he wants to Jackie Chan himself out of existence for our entertainment, then fuck it, go for it. Just keep making these movies because each one is better than the next. Hell, I'm fully fucking onboard with him reprising his role as Cole Trickle for a Days of Thunder sequel, which feels like a knee jerk reaction to Brad Pitt's F1 movie.

I can't wait for Tom Cruise to do Far And Away 2 with Nicole Kidman or A Few More Good Men with a different aging actor (Harrison Ford, Mads MIkkelsen, I don't care). Maybe Cocktail 2. Or Losin' It 2.
