Ridley Scott said in a new interview he finished House of Gucci 10 days early by using 4 to 6 cameras at one time for the film’s scenes. He says this way is better for the actors and saves them from repetition. Source for the full comments: https://mobile.twitter.com/AdamDriverFiles/status/1405734190201544704

Even more proof filming starts soon: Rob O’Malley-who worked as Brad Pitt’s stand-in and photo double on Ad Astra, OUATIH , and Bullet Train-commented on Heba’s post and said he was looking forward to seeing her and the other crew members. It’s safe to say he’ll be doubling for Brad for Babylon as well. This is his IMDB page: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1042995/filmotype/miscellaneous?ref_=m_nmfm_2

This sounds really exciting. The fact it’s based on real events and the person hasn’t been caught is so creepy.

I think filming started or is about to start. Heba, the head of the makeup department, just posted a pic on her IG of her with Jaime Leigh, the head of the hair department and another crew member. She captioned it “We’re back” and added the hashtags #filminglife and #filminginhollywood. Source: hebathormakeup. Heba and Jaime previously worked on Don’t Worry Darling, and Heba also worked with Robbie before on OUATIH and The Suicide Squad.

Ridley Scott has started doing storyboards for Kitbag, according to a THR interview. If The Last Duel is 100% finished (he said he would deliver a final cut this past February in a January interview with The Guardian), wonder when promo will start and when we’ll get first look photos. Strange he wasn’t asked about where he’s at with the film. We know House of Gucci is still in post. Quote: RIDLEY SCOTT I’ll show you. I’m working on [a film about Napoleon Bonaparte]. It’s starting with a snowball fight in Corsica. I want Napoleon as a young boy to put a stone inside a snowball because he’s losing the fight to the other boys in his military school. He fights dirty. So I draw that out. It fits the location I’ve already found in Malta, a fantastic Napoleonic courtyard. But it all starts with a great script [by David Scarpa]. The script is inspiring. I read it, and I started drawing, which means I’m filming already. Source: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ridley-scott-raised-by-wolves-1234965758/

Does Ridley Scott not like premiering his films at a lot of festivals? I’ve noticed a lot of Driver fans on social media expressing disappointment over HoG missing Venice. They seem to think the film might premiere at a dozen festivals like Marriage Story did in 2019. I remember The Martian premiering at TIFF, but I don’t know if it screened at other festivals as well.
