Scheduling my ass, they must have dumped her. Something bad must have happened during the rehearsals or something. I don’t buy this sudden “schedule issues”.
Idk COVID is so bad right now and likely delayed production. Also I can imagine this movie is going to take longer to film than they initially thought, so both things together might have impacted it.
ReplyJanuary 4, 2022 at 6:55 pm #1204697339Pitting women against each other ain’t it folks. Happy for Kirby. Devastated for Jodie. She was looking forward to this and I always thought it was a great role for her regardless of the age difference. I think she would have absolutely crushed it, which is why Ridley had her in mind from the beginning. COVID just wants to ruin things…
Kirby is a great actress and she will also be great.
ReplyJanuary 1, 2022 at 9:25 pm #1204691475Idk aside from the age thing (she’s a bit young, Joaquin is a bit old) I actually think this is great casting. Josephine was fiery, sexy, and strong but she could also flip a switch in an instant with Napoleon and weep, pretend weakness, etc. The way she could manipulate him for her own ends? Seems right in Jodie’s wheelhouse—needs an actress of incredible dexterity.
ReplyDecember 12, 2021 at 9:58 am #1204646335Not sure how many of you are on Twitter but this Jodie Comer gif account has been doing some excellent gifs/videos that compare Jodie’s performance in the last duel in the different POVs. It highlights how impressive her performance is…and how sad it is that she isn’t getting recognized 😩
Here’s a comparison of the kiss scene in the 3povs: https://twitter.com/jodiegifs/status/1469755986143420421?s=21
And here’s the chase scene between her character’s POV and hers: https://twitter.com/jodiegifs/status/1470083451877396481?s=21
ReplyDecember 7, 2021 at 5:38 am #1204633203This is great news but also confusing.
Jodie finished filming Killing Eve in early November. Why did they wait over a month to do something like this? What difference will it make when it’s after CC and GG nominations?
Really though I am wondering people’s thoughts on chances that Jodie might get written into supporting by Academy voters. I do not think Disney will switch her to supporting purely because of bad optics so I feel like that’s her only chance is if voters write her in.
ReplyNovember 17, 2021 at 10:19 am #1204584260Thinking about National Board of Review awards coming up. Has anyone thought about whether or not Jodie might have a shot at Breakthrough Performance Award? This would definitely qualify as a breakthrough performance since it’s literally her second movie.
ReplyNovember 14, 2021 at 8:06 am #1204578000This is seriously going to be a blood bath. I can see almost any of the Top 12 on GD in the final five. I really don’t think we are going to know anything more until the precursor awards start. NBR will be telling.
The one I’m still most confident in getting nominated is Stewart. Everyone else I could see making it or getting snubbed…
November 13, 2021 at 10:58 am #1204576171The Last Duel drops on digital on November 30 so more people may see the film. It’ll also start streaming on Disney+ on December 1.
Disney plus only outside of the USA though. However (hot tip) if you have Disney plus in the US and turn on a VPN for the UK, then titles on Disney plus UK appear. I’ve tried it for several things and it worked great
November 13, 2021 at 10:45 am #1204576155True, it didn’t have a long theatrical run. Jodie deserves to be talked about more than some of the other contenders. If they watch the film when it hits digital on November 30, they’ll understand why.
This 100%
ReplyNovember 13, 2021 at 9:39 am #1204576020I have to say that I’m really curious how many people who frequent these forums have actually seen The Last Duel because I don’t recall many people ever saying that they have seen it, whereas they have done so with other movies…
If that’s true then it’s a shame
ReplyNovember 12, 2021 at 2:08 pm #1204574788Jodie Comer deserves more than some names mentioned here. She should be part of this conversation.
She doesn’t get mentioned as much for a lot of reasons, one of which is that I get the feeling a lot of people who post on here haven’t seen The Last Duel…
November 12, 2021 at 11:20 am #1204574482Pretty sure this is only outside of US so probs won’t help much campaign-wise. HBO still gets first dibs on the 20th century holdovers so can’t see Disney putting it up anywhere anytime soon unfortunately
It drops on digital on November 30, so hopefully more people see it.
it might help with BAFTA and the British members of AMPAS (which are many). I’m hoping they send out screeners too. That seems like a no brainer
ReplyNovember 11, 2021 at 5:51 am #1204571564My opinion on this is rather simple: a movie as well received as TLD is never a burden. Comer will be more than fine after this. All her three movies this year were a huge win for her, but for different reasons – some commercial, some artistic. Life of an actor in a nutshell.
No doubt. Even if she doesn’t win any awards, this has been a hell of a year for her. And as far as Duel goes, this really helped raise her profile in the industry because lots of directors (like del Toro) have seen it and she has people like Scott, Damon, Affleck, and Holofcener singing her praises. Hoping that turns into great offers for future projects.
ReplyNovember 10, 2021 at 7:53 pm #1204570898Yes, the NBR gala is always held in NYC. So far, only Disney’s animated films (Encanto, Luca etc) have had Q&As with the filmmakers. I hope that changes soon. I don’t know Disney’s policy when it comes to this stuff, but I hope they add events with the cast present. Jodie and Damon are free, and Affleck is shooting a film with Robert Rodriguez that reportedly wraps on November 19.
I didn’t know that about Affleck, thanks. I wonder if they will do some campaigning together since their schedules are freed up. Might as well!
ReplyNovember 10, 2021 at 7:22 pm #1204570833Peeps, literally no one mentioned mulligan over on the other site, let’s stop giving the account made 5 seconds ago purely to rile up comer heads and return to schedule 😌
Lol yes thanks!
Are most of the NBR folks in NYC? I feel like the extra screening might help more of them see it.
