    Watch How They Shot the Wild Final Act of Mother!

     

    Quote

    Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! was one of the fall’s most-talked-about films, a bold provocation that sent you out into the parking lot asking questions like “Was it all one big metaphor?” and “Why wouldn’t they listen to her about that unbraced sink?” Both Aronofsky and his star Jennifer Lawrence have been discussing the film in more depth during this awards season, but now that the film is on digital HD, an intriguing behind-the-scenes look pulls the curtain back even further — and Vulture has the exclusive clip. This making-of featurette is fascinating because it tackles the hallucinatory, experiential third act of Mother!, a fever dream where the camera stays close to the disoriented Lawrence as her house transforms into a war zone. To step back and see how this sequence was put together, then, lets us regard it in a way that the film’s hurtling momentum allows little time for: The sets transform before our eyes, the lighting scheme changes abruptly in the middle of a take, and all the while, Aronofsky, Lawrence, and Javier Bardem conspire to get the choreography of the thing just right.

    as for 'why would they be first with them' - cause they do get some exclusives from the studios like EW etc too. Shitty choice of outlet for Fox UK I know, but at least the guy who wrote the article (Baz) he's the  guy when it comes to Bond scoops and the saving grace of that pile of trash that is the Daily Mail.

    Well, that's good then. I had no idea the Daily Mail had people like that.

    Need to hear her accent. I want a full on thick Russian accent.

    From what I have heard, it is distinctly there, but not thick. She is supposed to be a spy after all, and good at what she does.

    Jen did a podcast for The Hollywood Reporter and in it she mentioned why she did Red Sparrow, which is so much  more sexual than other things she had been willing to do:

    As high as Lawrence's highs were, her lows were just as low — and none more so than the nightmare that began on Aug. 31, 2014, when a massive breach of Apple's iCloud service allowed hackers to steal and publicly post nude images of hundreds of celebrities, including Lawrence. "When the hacking thing happened, it was so unbelievably violating that you can't even put it into words," she says. "I think that I'm still actually processing it. When I first found out it was happening, my security reached out to me. It was happening minute-to-minute — it was almost like a ransom situation where they were releasing new ones every hour or so. And, I don't know, I feel like I got gang-banged by the fucking planet — like, there's not one person in the world that is not capable of seeing these intimate photos of me. You can just be at a barbecue and somebody can just pull them up on their phone. That was a really impossible thing to process." Making matters worse, there was virtually no recourse for her or the other victims. "A lot of women were affected, and a lot of them reached out to me about suing Apple or suing [others] — and none of that was gonna really bring me peace, none of that was gonna bring my nude body back to me and Nic [Lawrence's former boyfriend Nicholas Hoult], the person that they were intended for. It wasn't gonna bring any of that back. So I wasn't interested in suing everybody; I was just interested in healing." She adds, "I think, like, a year and a half ago, somebody said something to me about how I was 'a good role model for girls,' and I had to go into the bathroom and sob because I felt like an imposter — I felt like, 'I can't believe somebody still feels that way after what happened.' It's so many different things to process when you've been violated like that."

     

    Lawrence says that Red Sparrow, a recently wrapped thriller that reunites her with Francis Lawrence, who directed three of the four Hunger Games films, was sort of a response to the hacking trauma. "[The film] was really sexual, which has always scared me. I've always been like, 'Absolutely no way' — especially after what happened [with the nude hack] — 'no way am I ever gonna do anything sexual.' So, for me, doing Red Sparrow — I felt like I was getting something back that had been taken from me."

    There's a lot more in there, but that is all of it that is about Red Sparrow.

    Would that not be true for every domestic distributor ?

     

    I am not sure why Warner Brother would not have met with Tarantino.

    It's possible WB have met with Tarantino but they don't have any history with him unlike Universal or Sony

    Looks like WB is indeed going for it.

     

     

     

    Also deadline tossed out Tom Cruise's name as a possibility.

    Get Out | February 24th | Under Comedy/Musical Category at Golden Globes

    Apparently, actors and directors at the Governor's Awards named Get Out as one of their top films of the year when asked (also Lady Bird and The Florida Project.) Not a statistical sample, of course, but still:

    there's an embed code on the video but I can't seem to copy it.

    I'm sheepish on the comedy affiliation. I've yet to see the film, but I think there will certainly be people who fail to recognize it as comedy. I wish good luck to these guys, but we'll just have to see what happens.

    I personally thought The Martian was my favorite comedy of 2015

    The comedy category is less stacked as a Best Picture matter, and on most fronts, this year.  When Three Billboards was expected in comedy that might have been different.  Essentially, this gives Get Out a better chance at awards, and pre-Oscar boost
