Tenet: Robert Pattinson’s Neil Timeline Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This feature contains Tenet spoilers. I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship. Those are the (near) final words of the ever wry Neil in Tenet. Riffing on the last line of dialogue from another Warner Bros. film, Michael Curtiz’s Casablanca, it’s a wink and a nudge from Christopher Nolan toward classic Hollywood cinema. But it’s also an admission by the Robert Pattinson character that he is at least vaguely aware that he’s headed toward his death, and though he is about to die, his relationship with the Protagonist (John David Washington) has only just begun. On first…

Invincible: Robert Kirkman Discusses Season 2 and Beyond

New DVD release, , , , ,
Anyone who has experienced 10, soon to be 11, seasons of The Walking Dead can tell you that comic writer Robert Kirkman enjoys a lengthy story. Kirkman’s zombie comic series from which the AMC adaptation takes its inspiration ran from 2003 through 2019 and featured a staggering 193 issues. What’s even more impressive, however, is that The Walking Dead wasn’t the only expansive serialized story Kirkman was telling at the same time. Alongside illustrators Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley, the prolific author produced 144 issues of Image Comics landmark superhero imprint Invincible from 2003 through 2018. Now that Invincible has…

Robert Rodriguez on We Can Be Heroes and How Pedro Pascal Reminds Him of Harrison Ford

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Robert Rodriguez is a man of many hats – in every sense of the word. While he has been known to rock a fedora or two down the years, the idiom is more a reflection of his “one-man film crew” approach to movie-making, with Rodriguez known for not only writing, and directing but also doing everything from editing to operating the camera. It’s also a reflection of his ability to turn his hand to disparate genres and movies aimed and markedly different audiences.  Having made his name with movies like El Mariachi and From Dusk till Dawn, the new millennium…

New DVD release, , , ,
Robert Pattinson has resumed filming on Matt Reeves’ upcoming standalone DC film, The Batman. The actor has been put through a turbulent schedule aboard the project to date, including various production stops and starts throughout 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In early September, it was reported that Pattinson himself had tested positive for the virus and had to self-isolate, as the crew tried to film other scenes in his absence. Eagle-eyed fans managed to snap a whole bunch of pictures when the cast, including Pattinson, Colin Farrell’s unrecognisable Penguin, and Catwoman star Zoë Kravitz, shot more footage for the…

Robert Downey Jr. Wants to Build a Sherlock Holmes Universe Like the MCU

New DVD release, , , , , ,
You don’t come out of working in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a decade without high aspirations and some good ideas—nor without the resources and star power to potentially make them happen. This is the case for Robert Downey Jr. who, after helping Marvel to launch the MCU and working as a key part of the ever-growing franchise for almost 10 years, wants to use what he’s learned to grow another franchise: Sherlock Holmes. “At this point, we really feel that there is not a mystery-verse built out anywhere, and Conan Doyle is the definitive voice in that arena, I…

Robert De Niro Talks Going to Battle Again with Christopher Walken in The War with Grandpa

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s a different battlefield from what they’ve known before, and a different kind of movie set too. Perched atop a series of trampolines, with bouncy surfaces beneath their feet, and red rose dodgeballs in their hands, Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken are standing side by side on screen for the first time since 1978’s The Deer Hunter. In that earlier movie, they played young men who eagerly went off to war, but now they’re in a different kind of conflict here. They’re in the midst of The War with Grandpa’s biggest battle. The scene in question occurs at the…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Since the first sinister trailer for Antonio Campos’ adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s novel The Devil All the Time arrived, the film has caused quite a buzz. This is the latest Netflix original to land, a pitch black drama set in the Ohio town of Knockemstiff where the corrupt and the lost intertwine in a mix of horror and tragedy. One of the standouts from the trailer is the incredible A-list cast brought together for this ensemble piece. Robert Pattinson plays a predator preacher, Bill Skarsgard a damaged war veteran, Sebastian Stan a dirty cop and Jason Clarke and Riley…

The Batman Resumes Production After Robert Pattinson’s COVID Case

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In a development that should relieve fans, The Batman, Warner’s developing DC Extended Universe reboot movie, is now back on track after a COVID scare earlier this month from a positive test, reportedly from star Robert Pattinson, resulted in the production coming to a standstill. Warner has issued a statement announcing its return to production on director Matt Reeves’s The Batman, although the studio remains ambiguous on the details, especially since it never officially confirmed the now-accepted notion originally reported by Vanity Fair that the on-set positive case that caused the shutdown was star Robert Pattinson himself. Yet, we can…

The Batman Pauses Production After Robert Pattinson Tested Positive for COVID-19

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Batman has, once again, seen its production paused. While momentum seemed to be on the side of Warner’s latest Caped Crusader movie reboot effort, which just got back into production after a pandemic-pushed shutdown back in March, the positive COVID test of star Robert Pattinson himself has abruptly put a boot on the wheel of its Batmobile. Warner Bros. officially halted production on The Batman in Leavesden Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, England. While the studio was initially mum about the identity or even job designation of the positive COVID case, a report from Vanity Fair identifies it as Pattinson.…

The Devil All the Time Trailer Teases Dark Netflix Drama with Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Netflix movie The Devil All the Time has released its first trailer, showcasing an impressive ensemble within a bleak piece of dramatic Gothic Americana. Indeed, the film is headlined by Marvel’s current big screen Spider-Man, Tom Holland, opposite DC’s imminently-debuting big screen Batman, Robert Pattinson, setting up a collision course of characters so seemingly epic, it might just make you forget to wish they were in their respective crimefighting outfits. The film was directed by Antonio Campos, who worked off a script he co-wrote with brother Paulo Campos, adapting Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name. Bearing a…

Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank

Max SchindlerMovie reviews, , , ,
Shot in cinema-verite style between New York and Nova Scotia, where Robert Frank now lives, the film captures Frank reflecting on a lifetime of image making that most famously produced The Americans, probably the most influential photographic book of the last sixty years. From the Lower East Side to Coney Island, Frank revisits places where he lived and photographed, unsentimentally yet humorously noting the erosion of the New York. He recalls his collaborations with the Beat generation, including his film Pull my Daisy, narrated by Jack Kerouac, as well as his infamous Cocksucker Blues with The Rolling Stones. Affectionate conversations…
