Director Asif Kapadia’s next feature is a foray into a semi-sci-fi apocalypse.

It’s a Marvel-ous run.

In its fifth week in theaters, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is still leading at the box office.

The Marvel flick raked in just over $3.6 million on Friday, according to The Numbers.

It is expected to take in up to $20 million during Labor Day weekend, which would mean it would then be surpassing the $600 million milestone in sales, according to Deadline.

“Reagan” came in second, with earnings of $2.6 million on its first day in theaters.

...

“Alien: Romulus,” which was released on Aug. 16, fell down a notch to third, with a just over $2.2 million-dollar take.

...

“It Ends With Us,” moved down one spot to fourth, with $2.1 million in revenue.

...

“Twisters,” which was released on July 19, returned to the top five this week, landing in fifth, with sales of just over $1.8 million.

BOM has D&W doing slightly better internationally for a total of $1.2B so far.

Mlle Lara has trouble with men so for her birthday she plans something special in pursuit of a wonderful love.

I mentioned this in the previous thread and thought I might as well share the short film. It's included on the Calvaire DVD but is out there in the wild.

In 1971 Jerry Lewis, America’s most famous comedian, decided to swing for the fences and make his masterpiece. The Day the Clown Cried was a Holocaust tale about Helmut Doork, a hapless party entertainer who becomes a death camp pied piper. Lewis starred and directed, overseeing every aspect of a fraught shoot in Sweden, but the man misstepped badly and the film never saw the light of day. It has since become legend, buried forever and apparently for good reason.

Now along comes Michael Lurie and Eric Friedler’s flawed but engrossing documentary to pick over the wreckage, shine a UV lamp on the crime scene and – best of all – reveal extended segments of a picture that is destined to remain incomplete. For much of its running time, From Darkness to Light is a jerry-rigged cuttings job, lifting talking-head interviews from Ferne Pearlstein’s 2016 documentary The Last Laugh and folding them alongside fresher insights from the likes of Martin Scorsese and Harry Shearer, one of the few living souls to have actually seen the rough cut. The star attraction here, however, is Lewis himself, talking freely to Friedler shortly before his death in 2017. The Day the Clown Cried, he says, was almost wonderful, almost perfect, which is another way of saying that it was an absolute catastrophe.

...

Lurie and Friedler’s handling of the material sometimes feels perfunctory, but the tale they tell is purely fascinating. Lewis looks so stricken by the ordeal that he risks confusing himself with Helmut. It’s as if, in failing to complete and release his film, he was somehow doomed to keep it with him forever, replaying the script’s darkest moments as though they had really happened. “There’s not a day in my life when I don’t think about it,” he says. “I remember walking 65 children into the oven. It was hard, very hard.” Horribly misconceived and appallingly handled, The Day the Clown Cried convinced none of the handful of people who saw it. But it cast a spell on its creator and would haunt him to the grave.

The BBC has unveiled a first look at the upcoming Wallace and Gromit adventure that will air on the BBC in 2024.

In Vengeance Most Fowl, Gromit worries that Wallace has become unduly reliant on his creations, and his worries are validated when Wallace creates a "smart gnome" that appears to have an independent mind.

The League of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9's Reece Shearsmith is the voice for Norbot, who can be heard in the new teaser.

In terms of other cast members, Ben Whitehead stars as Wallace, who previously worked alongside the late Peter Sallis (the original voice of Wallace) on other Wallace and Gromit brand projects.

The cast also includes Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Lenny Henry, and Buzz Khan.

The BBC confirmed earlier this year that the renowned supervillain Feathers McGraw will make a comeback in the new 79-minute film.

Directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, the film will make its UK premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this Christmas. Later in the winter, it will be accessible on Netflix worldwide.

Speaking on the Inspire Me! podcast (via World of Reel), Stallone revealed that his script is a working progress, adding that “I wrote a few pages of it and it just seems to write itself.”

The actor and filmmaker than said that his prequel would catch up with Robert ‘Rocky’ Balboa while he’s still a teenager. Stallone suggested we’d see “Adrian at 15, Rocky at 17, Paulie, moving to a new neighbourhood, Rocky’s a bad boy.”

The veteran action star also said his prequel was “almost like Lady And The Tramp but with real people” – a reference to the 1955 animated Disney film about the romantic relationship between two dogs.

A quick scan of the Internet tells us that Balboa was born in Philadelphia in June 1945, which means Stallone’s prequel would take place in 1962. The story would then presumably explore how he got into boxing, and show some of the bouts he fought in before the events of 1976’s Rocky.

Fabrice Du Welz began the century as a master of Belgian gothic, riding the wave of Euro-extreme cinema. Calvaire, or The Ordeal, from 2005, was a gruesome gripper. Since then, in a chequered career, he has more or less maintained his stride, and now he comes to Venice as director and co-writer of an initially promising true-crime horror procedural. It is loosely inspired by the serial killer and child rapist Marc Dutroux, whose case enraged the Belgian public when it became clear the country’s various quarrelling law-enforcement authorities, hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and turf-war disputes, had in effect allowed Dutroux to go free for years.

It’s an intriguing premise and this baggy, free-ranging movie presents a tonal range of sour acrimony, anxiety and occasional flourishes of nauseous black comedy. But it’s a long film which finally – and rather perfunctorily – voyages into the murky waters of deep-state conspiracy, and the drama doesn’t really have the rhetorical resources or the performances to make that case plausibly or interestingly.

Filming has begun on Vin Diesel’s fourth outing as Richard B. Riddick for the upcoming film “Riddick: Furya”.

On social media, the actor shared a pair of behind-the-scenes images from the first week of shooting – one with him in costume in a desert somewhere, the other in a dune buggy style vehicle crossing a desert.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney play two sides of the same coin in Jon Watts’s jaunty, high-concept comedy-thriller about a pair of self-styled lone wolves who find they’ve been double-booked. Watts earned his spurs as the director of the money-spinning Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy and he sets about Wolfs with the panting relief of a man who now feels he can kick back, let loose and consign the Marvel salt-mine to history. Except that the joke might be on him because what he’s made is basically the film of the meme in which two Spideys point at each other.

Although A24’s Y2K has an original premise, the upcoming horror comedy also owes a creative debt to a more family-friendly spin on the same idea. It is pretty easy to work out the creative origins of A24’s upcoming horror comedy Y2K. Y2K follows a pair of likable, nerdy teens who attend a booze-fueled party on New Year’s Eve 1999. In this movie’s reality, Y2K’s “Millennium Bug” turns out to be a very real fear as electronics all over the world go maliciously haywire at the stroke of midnight and begin massacring humans.

What follows is a classic genre mashup that blends a “One Wild Night” teen comedy with an apocalyptic horror. Y2K is effectively a horror version of Superbad, or an unlikely mashup of Can’t Hardly Wait and Miracle Mile. While taking the robotic apocalypse of The Terminator movies and transplanting it into the world of Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle is an inspired idea, there is another influence that director Kyle Mooney’s upcoming movie also borrows from. As noted by a handful of commentators online, Y2K takes cues both visually and story-wise from an underrated ‘90s classic.

Y2K is effectively Small Soldiers with an R-rating due to its “Bloody violence, strong sexual content/nudity, pervasive language, and teen drug and alcohol use.”

A labour of love, Ihor Ivanko’s documentary pays tribute to his grandfather Leonid Burlaka, a prolific Ukrainian cinematographer during the golden days of Soviet cinema. Having inherited his love for images from Burlaka, Ivanko comes across another heirloom as he discovers rolls of undeveloped films at his grandparents’ summer home. These forgotten treasures carry the traces of Burlaka’s life, and the remains of a bygone film-making era.

Many of these black-and-white photos are discoloured and damaged, leaving behind evocative swirls and patterns; in closeup, these imperfections conjure a form of visual map that bears the mark of time. Through this marvellous archive, we get a glimpse of Burlaka as a student at the prestigious VGIK film school in Moscow, and later on as a cameraman on various movie sets including 1979 TV hit The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed. Cutting an athletic figure, the strikingly handsome man in these fading images seems a world away from the older Burlaka, now dealing with the onset of dementia.

PLOT: The Keenan family checks into a quaint inn called The Pines, “the pearl of Pennsylvania,” only to find that there is no Wi-Fi, cell phone signals are blocked, the exits are locked, and four masked killers are stalking the halls.

REVIEW: Directed by Terrifier cast member Michael Leavy, the slasher movie Stream has two major selling points going for it: Terrifier franchise director Damien Leone provided the bloody special effects, and the cast list reads like the Expendables or the Avengers of horror. The line-up includes Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Dee Wallace (The Howling), Mark Holton (Leprechaun), Daniel Roebuck (Final Destination), Dave Sheridan (The Devil’s Rejects), Terry Alexander (Day of the Dead), David Howard Thornton (Terrifier), Tim Reid (Stephen King’s It), Charles Edwin Powell (Exorcist III), Tony Todd (the original Candyman himself), Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Terry Kiser (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood), Bob Adrian (The Conjuring 2), Sydney Malakeh (Cheer Camp Killer), Wesley Holloway (Terrifier 2), Jadon Cal (Megaboa), Phuong Kubacki (Cabin Girl), Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night), and Tim Curry (Stephen King’s It again – plus The Rocky Horror Picture Show).

...

So if you’re a slasher fan, check out Stream and have some fun watching the masked killers make a mess out of the guests at The Pines. Just don’t make your viewing decision based on the presence of any one particular genre icon (unless it’s one mentioned as having a prominent role), because you may be disappointed by how quick their appearance is.
