Indeed! Such a lot crammed into such a short space of time.

This sounds like an interesting story, and Adam Driver is one of my favorite actors, so I’m definitely interested.

Yep so my guess is that they won’ go full from birth to death biopic but only cover revolutionary part of his life. I hope they show physical stuff like combat training including jiu jitsu.

Not sure why I read “Jeff Nichols” as “Jeff Daniels.”

I hope this portraits the communist cuba as de murderous regime that it is and also Che Guevara as the scum that he truly was

Given the POV of the American revolutionary who didn’t believe in comunism, and who was killed because of it, I wouldn’t worry.

With Annette this year and this one maybe next year, Adam Driver really aims to become the third male actor in history being nominated 4 times in a row, alongside Marlon Brando and Al Pacino.

Then lets hope that, if he ever wins, it’s for his Godfather rather than Scent of a Woman.

Apparently this one isn’t coming out until 2022 but I guess it could sneak in at the end of 2021 if they’re able to get it made in time. Driver has The Last Duel to finish so I imagine the schedule will also depend on if/when that resumes production.

If it’s widely seen enough I can definitely see him threepeating with Annette – an original sung through musical might be a hard sell but the fact it’s wildly different from anything we’ve seen him do so far – and probably very challenging – could work in his favour. And Russell Mael from Sparks (who did the songs) says he’s ‘spectacular’ in it.

I laughed way too long and way too hard at this, but damn, this was funny!

When isn’t he spectacular, though?
