Movie Trailers thread

Up on Prime at the moment. Got a few chuckles out of me, and not a huge commitment at 85 minutes. A bit of sexism that I didn't enjoy, but it's not rampant.

This movie is amazing. Serious Oscar contender material.

Saw it today and was just blown away at how beautiful, thrilling, original, creative and funny it is.

Christ, I just checked and this is 1 of 8 unreleased "Bruce Willis" films still in the production pipeline.

As recently revealed, Willis is retiring from acting as he’s suffering from a degenerative health issue called aphasia. So he did a bunch of films the last few years to cash in on his name so he could continue providing for his family.

I'm aware of his medical condition, which is why I was a little shocked at how many unreleased films are still in the pipeline on top of the many that have already been released. The last I heard, it was up in the air whether he did them of his own volition or if his "people" did it to him make as much money as they could before their meal ticket ran out.

Edit: This is the article I read a few weeks ago that makes me believe that his string of "geezer teaser" appearances was due to people exploiting him more than anything else.

Concerns about Bruce Willis’ declining cognitive state swirled around sets in recent years

Just days before Bruce Willis was scheduled to turn up on the set of one of his latest action films, the director of the project sent out an urgent request: Make the movie star’s part smaller.

“It looks like we need to knock down Bruce’s page count by about 5 pages,” Mike Burns, the director of “Out of Death,” wrote in a June 2020 email to the film’s screenwriter. “We also need to abbreviate his dialogue a bit so that there are no monologues, etc.”

Burns did not outline one of the reasons why Willis’ lines needed to be kept “short and sweet.” But on Wednesday, the public learned what he and many other filmmakers have privately been concerned about for years: The 67-year-old’s family said he will retire from acting because he has aphasia. The cognitive disorder affects a person’s ability to communicate and often develops in individuals who have suffered strokes.

“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” the actor’s daughter Rumer Willis wrote in an Instagram post also signed by her siblings, the actor’s wife, Emma, and his former wife, Demi Moore.

According to those who have worked with the elder Willis on his recent films, the actor has been exhibiting signs of decline in recent years. In interviews with The Times this month, nearly two dozen people who were on set with the actor expressed concern about Willis’ well-being.

These individuals questioned whether the actor was fully aware of his surroundings on set, where he was often paid $2 million for two days of work, according to documents viewed by The Times. Filmmakers described heart-wrenching scenes as the beloved “Pulp Fiction” star grappled with his loss of mental acuity and an inability to remember his dialogue. An actor who traveled with Willis would feed the star his lines through an earpiece, known in the industry as an “earwig,” according to several sources. Most action scenes, particularly those that involved choreographed gunfire, were filmed using a body double as a substitute for Willis.

A lot of people were making money by churning these films out and attaching his name to the projects. Given that his net worth is estimated at $250 million, I have a hard time believing he was doing it because he (or his family) needed the money, or that he was necessarily even mentally competent to make such a decision.

That movie does look horrible. Its a shame about Bruce too as his monologues and wise crackings are a huge part of his appeal. Im thinking of 5th Element here.

That's not really the impression I got when I read an article, where one director said he was refusing to take advantage of him once he heard about the condition and how badly he'd deteriorated. There were things that had happened on set, such as missing cues, and an actor getting hurt due to him not understanding what he needed to do. Once the director learned of the condition, it had all made sense for him and he felt really bad for him and didn't want to work with him or endanger him as it'd become too much of a liability. Sounds to me like anything coming out now would have been made before the official announcement, and anything being worked on during or after would have been cancelled outright.

I'm looking forward to this now. I didn't catch at first that it was Alex Garland, who made the immensely entertaining Ex Machina. I also didn't realize the insanely talented Rory Kinnear is a lead. That man is an amazing character actor. I don't think I've ever seen him give a bad performance.
