Not much recently, although thankfully it’s a go. Seems like a pattern with him,
Seeing as he directed my favorite film of all time, it’s been painful holding my breath for 4 years.

Yes he is a magnificent director. Which one is your fav of his?

Mine is The Tree of Life with The Thin Red Line being a very close second

I hear Ben Stiller and think “Flop” but thats another story for another day. Ok so another to cross of my list of potentials.

Hmm well Ben Stiller is gonna direct as well. I think Blanchett wants to do more comedy. Hopefully on the same level as Waiting for the artist when she played Izabella Barta. That one was Hilarious!

The movie that cate blanchett had at Cannes this go around. Is she a contender for that?

Unfortunately no. The reviews of her performance is good. So my Queen will sit this one out. I heard that Blanchett is going to film The Champions this fall with Ben Stiller

Post Cannes 2023, I can see that:

Sandra Hüller
Juliette Binoche
Natalie Portman

being contenders in best actress

To me, Merve Dizdar winning, was very “political” correct

Didn’t Leo turn down Bale’s American Psycho?

The American Psycho casting was, behind the scenes, dramatic. The studio wanted Leo, but director Mary Harron really fought for Christian Bale. Also Leo wanted a paycheck that destroyed the entire budget. Bale was not very well known and the rest is history

Well to be honest, Leo has been miscast in big films like Gangs of New York, The Aviator and J. Edgars and Body of Lies.

It is well known that Christian Bale audition for Titanic and impressed everybody. But the thought of having to Brits in the lead in an American love story felt strange for Cameron. So yeah in that particular instance, Leo was very lucky. And that luck cathapulted him to moviestar fame.

Leo is incredible talented just like Phoenix and Bale. I would love to see him challenge himself even more and work with the likes of Lanthimos, Aronofsky, Sheridan, Ramsay etc

The New Boy reactions:

Cate Blanchett is strong and flashy but is still the weakest link in the movie. Asman Reid playing the young boy, is stealing the show.
