Only a Christmas present if directed by Santa Patty …
I’m still really confused by Warner Bros giving so much power to Zach Snyder but playing hard ball with the director who did a good jump. Sexism aside, how is that good business?
Yes!! Patty is the key ingredient. If they let Snyder get ahold of this it will be just as much of a disaster as all the other WB/DC projects. I think they’re smart enough to realize Gal and Patty make a great team, and they need to just leave them alone and let them make them money (and kick*ss movies!)
But what about captain Marvel? That’s the superhero movie I’m waiting for.
I wished they had went with Summer Glau for Captain Marvel
What I’m upset about with Captain marvel is that marvel didn’t think Anna could direct on her own, so they brought on a dude to help….
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have been a directing team for years – Marvel didn’t bring him in to help, Anna always works with him.
Captain Marvel will not be out until March of 2019. Because Marvel needed to do 78,000 movies with dudes as leads first…just in case. 🙄
I do hope it’s great (even though Brie Larson is probably 10 years too young for the role), but Wonder Woman is queen of the female superheroes, hell, ALL superheroes for the foreseeable future.
I like Brie but she was terribly miscasted as Captain Marvel. She’s too young and she will ruin the role (or the role will ruin her career) It was Hollywood missed opportunity to give a strong signal against ageism. But, of course the excuse is that they need a young actress because the franchise will roll for a few years. BULLSH*T
(I have a lot of opinions today, you may forgive me, I’m just so f*cking tired that everything is centered about what white dudes want, feel and need. )
Ok. How on earth Chris Pine has already signed (reportedly a multipicture deal) and already there are rumors of him back to life for WW 2 and Patty FUCKING Jenkings, the one and only responsible for this success, is NOT confirmed yet? Is she negotiating? Fine Give her whatever she asks. Guy The Failure Ritchie gets handled movies right and left again and again after every commercial and critically bomb. But who cares about Pine? He was charming, ok charming, just instrumental to the story. Let aside that I’m still mad they had to give the white handsome dude as much as screentime as the TITTLE character. Ok. I get it. Goshbusters backlash shit fears. Let’s reassure the white dudes that they’re still front and center on EVERY FUKING FILM. Even id the film is called Wonder Woman. OK let’s give him a co-lead. But FFS: now is done: no more excuses. NOBODY went to the theatre to see this movie because Chris Pine was there. NOBODY. At least bring back from death Antiope. Now that’s a character that was worthy. Now give us the REAL Wonder Woman movie we deserve. No white dude needed to justify her journey. I’m sorry I’m still so mad.
Please don’t tell me Steve comes to life. My only complaint about WW was that they had her fall in love and assumemingly sleep with the character. Why, why, why must our heroine fall in love????? Falling in love does not complete the story.
And yes, if they have any sense they will Patty and Gal only to make another WW movie so all Us girls who fell in love with WW back in the day can relive their childhood.
Can’t wait for the article tomorrow about Angelina’s new Vanity Fair cover!
She is STUNNING. And she is talking.
I just read it online…great article, great woman.
The part about traumatizing children in order to audition them is concerning, though. Really concerning.
“To cast the children in the film, Jolie looked at orphanages, circuses, and slum schools, specifically seeking children who had experienced hardship. In order to find their lead, to play young Loung Ung, the casting directors set up a game, rather disturbing in its realism: they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away. The director would pretend to catch the child, and the child would have to come up with a lie. “Srey Moch [the girl ultimately chosen for the part] was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time,” Jolie says. “When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion. All these different things came flooding back.” Jolie then tears up. “When she was asked later what the money was for, she said her grandfather had died, and they didn’t have enough money for a nice funeral.”
Wow. That’s, um… that doesn’t seem right.
Agreed. I am not a super fan or a hater of Angelina, but generally think she does good things, but I found those details troubling.
Really disgusting, incredibly damaging behaviour. There’s a reason children with trauma block out certain things, and unless you’re planning on providing years and years of intensive therapy, you don’t just come along and push them to dig deep into whatever they’ve buried. What she describes is an incredibly triggering, dangerous thing to do to any vulnerable person, let alone a child.
What’s even worse is that over a year later she hasn’t reflected on what she did and had a ‘oh god, that was incredibly messed up’ moment. Instead she actually thought it was a good idea to use that story to promote her film.
