  1. What are you talking about? Felicity Jones was just as strong if not stronger than Redmayne.

    We will have to agree to disagree then.

    I saw an actress competently play a stoic, English rose housewife who couldn't fulfill her academic ambitions and an actor brilliantly transform into a man with motor neurone disease to the point I could forget he isn't actually like that. And it wasn't just that he had the showier role.

  2. I'm puzzled as to how and why The Theory of everything is sailing on to best film lists while other films are struggling to be considered. Theory is perfectly pleasant and nice (I use these words deliberately) and I enjoyed it. But, imo, it is a made for television film elevated by an incredible central performance. And Felicity Jones can be thankful that the best actress race is so, so weak this year that her perfectly pleasant and nice performance is pretty much a lock for a nomination everywhere.

  3. Wow I just noticed that Imatation Game number. That's super solid, almost double what TKS made when it expanded. 100m for sure especially if it's a strong oscar contender. Ultimately not winning could keep it under TKS total, though..

    I ended up seeing this again tonight and it's even better second time around. Definitely the one I'm rooting for during awards season.

  4. I'm curious why some people think Selma is going to explode at the boxoffice. Twelve years a slave had star names, a huge subject matters, a director with his own fan base, tons of awards hype against a big crowd pleaser(Gravity) lots of media coverage due to Lupita's fashion and Brad Pitt but still couldn't get close to even €100m in the USA.

    Selma has no stars save Oprah, a title that means nothing to most people, is not billed as a biopic of MLK as such, is likely to go up for awards against Boyhood which hardly anyone saw, hasn't performed particularly well in limited release, yet some here are expecting it to make €150-200m.

    People had strong views about Iraq but that didn't make them rush out to see, as entertainment, stories they could watch for free on the news.

  5. OT

    Can anyone here give me some advice please.

    For some time I've been developing a tv series. I've written a script and outlines for future episodes. it's about a world I have specialist knowledge of.

    I became aware a while back that 2 other people were pitching ideas about that world to broadcasters. I met them, neither had any personal knowledge of the subject, only what they had read in books. I thought their ideas were what I would expect from an 'outsider'.

     

    Anyway, recently I had some interest from a major braodcaster and I sent them my proposal. Today I received a reply that they have a similar idea 'in development'. I don't know if it's by one of the people I met but a comment made by the producer who responded to me suggests it might be. In short, although the idea is in development, they don't seem too excited by it.

     

    I'm very upset about it all. I'm not sure what to do next. Does anyone work in the business? Does anyone here have any advice? I'm happy to give more details via pm.

    Thanks.

  6. I suggest to get to know him better, check out The Hot Guys thread.

    I see he posts lots of pictures of handsome men. Is he one of them?I'm willing to accept he's a God. But does he say, 'let there be numbers' and lo there are box office numbers?And is that Spatula person the numbers devil?Since Telemachos, the best mod on the forum is off celebrating his birthday, Ed, as the second best mod, can you help me here please?
  7. I was at a movie event over the weekend at which 3 producers discussed how they got their films made. The producer of Under the Skin said it took them 14 years to get it made, eventually with Scarlet Johansson. He said it was originally intended 'for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.' Later he said 'the money we raised could not pay for Brad Pitt. ' It wasn't clear at which point in the 14 years it was meant to star them or whether it was them jointly or separately at different times.Others may know more.Anyway, this new film sounds intriguing. I'd quite like it to be a period piece. I'd like a horror story in the style of The Others! I also hope that there is a ruthless script editor involved. While In the land of blood and honey had bold themes, the script needed several rewrites.
