I love Tom Hardy and love to see him on screen but I have to go with Michael Fassbender.

Now both are one of the best acting talents of their respective generations but Fassbender wins this one for me so far.

Hardy’s acting can at times feel so much focused on putting on an accent and looking tough whereas Fassbender can achieve better role…[Read more]

Paul Thomas Anderson is best 70s born filmmaker alive.

That’s saying something.

He should get more recognition.

I can’t put in words about how much I agree with some of the points you made in this post.
Brilliant.

Though I myself consider himself to be one of the greatest filmmakers ever for what he has done in the last 20 years alone, I mean what he has done for good and mature commercial Cinema and the way he edits his films.

But I have to agree that…[Read more]

What if Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement to play White?
He’s good friends with Scorsese and DiCaprio.

I’m not sure if they will be staying true to book if they are making Ernest Buckhart the lead character.

Yes, DiCaprio with Mckay2.O alongside two absolute Queens would be great.

This, I have been having these vibes from KOFM for so long now.

I heard DiCaprio saying that from now he’ll look to more interesting characters of every script than lead ones necessarily.
This was at a conference for OUATIH.

Either Scorsese is telling the story from Hales’s point of view or either DiCaprio is playing a supporting role, seeing…[Read more]

You have a point but studio don’t look for $600 millions out of a $100 millions BioPic.
For that film have to have budget like TENET,DUNE or any SuperHero film which is made on a budget $200 millions plus.

The Wolf Wall Street or any other drama film which have production budget of 90-110 millions have P&A budget of 20-30 millions.
Ford vs…[Read more]

But it’s not as Belfort’s book was same as Twilight or Harry Potter.

90% of people in world came to know about Jordan Belfort through this film.

Jonah Hill wasn’t a huge Box Office Draw, he was still very young.

Other names mentioned had cameos and I don’t remember if they were even advertised as huge part of the film.

Even Mathew Mcconaughey…[Read more]

People don’t really realise how big of a Box Office Risk and Success was “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

A Rated R film which 3hrs long.

Not part of any Franchise.

Not based on a popular selling novel or novel series.

No huge star other than only Leonardo DiCaprio.

Came out against huge competition.

Massive budget of $100 millions considering…[Read more]

Quentin Tarantino is right.

Filmmakers lose their touch as they grow older,there are however rare exceptions.

Concealing his tears every time he lost a major award

Loved Ford vs Ferrari but Parasite should have also won Best Editing.

I would even say that it’s editing is it’s Top2 best parts alongside Bong’s direction and writing.

Making a film for $230 millions is one thing.

But making a Western/Drama/Biopic for this huge sum is another.
I have read first 3 chapters of the novel and I can’t understand how this film will be needing this big budget unless Scorsese is again de aging De Niro and building a expensive and realistic Oaklama setting.

No, the initial costing was estimated minimum to be $230 millions excluding advertisment cost.

Paramount has said “No” to this and Netflix is also hesitant as of now.

I doubt this will get made on this mammoth budget.

Martin Scorsese should stop looking for studios to finance Killers Of Flower Moon.

Not even Netflix or Apple + is going for to invest $230 millions in Western Drama Biopic like this.
Don’t even think about major film studios.

He should move ahead with another project.

Jaws > Jurassic Park

Godfather 2 > Apocalypse Now > Godfather 1

What is defined as “taking risk”?

You are right and it is a very valid point.

It took him 7yrs to score another nomination after Blood Diamond but he has been nominated for all last 3 films he has been in.

DiCaprio more recently in 10s has become a brand not like Streep but still a brand.I would say Cooper and Bale have too become a brand seeing # of nominations they had in…[Read more]

There should be General Movie Talk Thread on Goldderby.

Here, you can only post un-popular opinions.

Joaquin Phoenix’s performance in “The Master” is still his career best performance.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in “The Aviator” is still his career best performance.

Christian Bale’s performance in “American Pyscho” is still his career best performance.

Denzel Washington’s performance in “Malcom X” is still his career best…[Read more]
