TLK Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I kinda doubt IFC will be willing to give it up so easily seeing as they've been financing itfrom the start. IFC has said that they will consider offers but the odds of this type of deal happening aren't that great for a movie with limited box office potential. To be fair to IFC, they may not have a good track record but they usually back a couple of movies for under the radar awards run every year so don't completely rule out Boyhood.

Jawa Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Trash? :lol:Or is that the real title of a film? Yes. It's that dark and gritty Oscar the Grouch biopic that's been in development for a few years now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If Unbroken does turn out to be great and wonderful and all that, Jolie is definitely getting snubbed a la Affleck. No way she's getting a director nomination.I'm worried about the Academy's actor-director bias however their big fuck up with Affleck plus goodwill toward Jolie (Jean Hersholt award hello?) and the sexism backlash they got for Barbara Streisand snub all those years ago might make them be more careful here (assuming the movie is good).

For The Prince of Tides? Or Yentl? Because there was immensely better releases each of those years so I wouldn't say it was sexism... more a case of films that simply were among the best directed of their year. 1982: E.T. Gandhi Tootsie The Thing Blade Runner Diner Poltergeist Star Trek II 1991: Boyz in the Hood JFK The Silence of the Lambs Beauty and the Beast Terminator 2: Judgment Day Point Break Thelma and Louise Cape Fear The Fisher King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Prince of Tides. It was a pretty big controversy. Billy Crystal even quipped in the opening number that it "apparently directed itself". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I am just very sad Fincher refuses to get out of his comfort zone, the adult modern dark gritty thriller. Recently he got out of it twice in a row with Ben Button and TSN. Then there's House of Cards. Besides, each one of his thrillers is pretty distinctive, and at least two (Seven and Zodiac) are fantastic films that also couldn't be more different from one another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 What, you want him to do a slapstick kids comedy? Something akin to Gravity or Inception is probably what they meant. Although he'd be an inspired pick for the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea reboot Disney tried to make. A dark comedy might be up in his alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Jeff Nichols' Midnight Special, which recently started filming, could be a dark horse Doubt it. It's low-budget sci-fi ala Looper.

Impact Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well the early popular pick tends to not win and sometimes is not even nominated-though 12 Years actually did win, which was considered one of the earliest popular choices.
