He was never in doubt when 2001 showed up :lol: I'm guessing it might be one of his all-time favorites?

He also seems to like Birdman. I remember being quite underwhelmed by that. Perhaps I need to give it a second viewing.

Not just one of his favourites but apparently a way of life



I think for Scorsese generation Kubrick is the top guy.

Yeah I can’t find him talking about Birdman in any detail. It’s an openly proud auteur type of film. Also has a big anti super hero franchise message and very New York.

Personally I’ve always loved it. I get that it’s gimmicky but the core conflict between narcissism of the artist and the importance of art in a commodity world is great to see play out.
 
That’s very sad to hear. He was a brilliant filmmaker. Werckmeister Harmonies is one of my absolute favourite movies. The opening scene alone was a work of sheer beauty. We’ve lost an immensely talented man.

The discussion about politic comment (or non-comment) by actors and directors etc has been moved into its own thread.
 
Genuinely thought that was Paul Giamatti in a SNL sketch for a moment.

Anyway, if they can force a eye-rolling bland generic story out of a daft fighting game like MK or SF then anythings up for adaptation I guess.

We do have another Resident Evil film coming soon.
 


FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave."Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set.

Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.”“He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees.

“It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest...His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.”

Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”
