This A list mostly movie actress, who is an Academy Award winner/nominee is refusing to do any more press for her current movie when it opens in other countries. It was a huge bomb here and she wants nothing to do with it any longer.
AnnE always looks so brittle to me, like she's on the edge of a monumental meltdown from which she'll never recover. That sense makes me uneasy - I keep waiting for her to explode.
The Intern? Gone are the days when DeNiro's name guaranteed money in the bank. I think he killed that off with The Meets (Parents & Fockers). He's done some really crappy stuff for a quick buck in the 21st century.
So true:( I can't even watch half the stuff for free on cable that he's done over the years like Grudge Match Etc,Surprising and unsettling.Even the face of TriBeCa FF changed- the programming, participants etc.Its on the way out, likely--- or being-- restructured to put it nicely.
I meant Dark Places was in permanent rotation. I loved the book, I hope it doesn't suck because I might actually watch it. I think they followed Gone Girl too quickly, should have waited a bit.
I didn't see Gone Girl because I thought it looked different from the book and that tends to piss me off. Have you read The Girl on the Train? Same basic genre - really, really good.
Today Page Six reports that Truth with cate Blanchett is a huge bomb in the US. Got mixed reviews too. It would make sense that she wants nothing to do if she starts campaigning for Carol. She can’t compete with herself, so she has to choose, and she should choose the one with at least the critical acclaim, because neither carol is set to be a commercial success, more like a niche film, like most of Blanchett’s artsy fartsy Oscar baits, as Tarantino would say.
My bet is on Chastain, too. And it was mis-marketed because GDT couldn't figure out whether it was a gothic romance or a camp horror story, and the result was a mess. If he'd worried as much about the script as he did about the OTT sets, the film might have done better.
Sounds like Cate. Truth bombed and is of little interest abroad where nobody knows who Dan Rather is.
Cate's shown how brutally ambitious she is over the last couple of years. She's not going to invest her precious time promoting something that won't get her anything.
Truth is only in 6 theaters throughout the country so far, so I don't see how they can call it a bomb, but the media always loves to spin things. She's getting Oscar buzz for both her new films.

ReplyDeleteThe Intern actually did well
ReplyDeleteso I will guess Charlize Theron in Dark Places
DeNiro has no f*cks to give about making good movies now
ReplyDeleteAccording to IMDB the budget for The Intern was 35 million and it has made 60 million
ReplyDeleteSo true:( I can't even watch half the stuff for free on cable that he's done over the years like Grudge Match Etc,Surprising and unsettling.Even the face of TriBeCa FF changed- the programming, participants etc.Its on the way out, likely--- or being-- restructured to put it nicely.
ReplyDeleteIt's in permanent rotation on DirecTV along with Blake Lively's Age of Adeline (blechety blech blech)

ReplyDeleteor Emma Stone---Aloha---is that released over seas yet?
ReplyDeleteyeah it is hard to say what is playing over seas or not---but it definetly can't be The Intern
ReplyDeleteJessica Chastain/Crimson Peak
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVED THE BOOK but the movie was doomed from the start, I mean CT as Libby??!! Yeah it was sucky to say the least.
ReplyDeleteOooh...*AND* Rachel McAdams also in that movie. Why'd they even agree to do it?
ReplyDeleteI can see her refusing, actually. The movie cost $73 million (production & advertising) and only made $13.1 million in the US. That's pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteCameron Crowe I guess
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Gone Girl because I thought it looked different from the book and that tends to piss me off.
ReplyDeleteHave you read The Girl on the Train? Same basic genre - really, really good.
I dig it
ReplyDeleteI always forget about Jessica---she is a good actress but BORING
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't figure out what she did to her face, but it's definitely different and to matchy-matchy with everyone else now.
ReplyDeleteThe Intern with DeNiro and Hathaway is a hit. Not her.
ReplyDeleteShe must have needed a paycheck. This movie had bomb written all over it.
ReplyDeleteRooney Mara or Amanda Seyfried - Pan. Budget $150,000,000, gross so far $27,000,000.
ReplyDeleteCrimson Peak was criminally mismarketed, but, yeah, I'm betting this is Chastain.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I forgot that one because it was such a non-event.
ReplyDeleteAlready released in France ( for example) since 3 weeks
ReplyDeleteNo not yet, I hope to pick it up after I finish this last book of a trilogy I am currently reading.
