38/160

The movie is called St.James Place and is written by Coen Bros starring Tom Hanks.

 

 

Spielberg, Coen Brothers, Hanks. SOLD!

 

 

With that production crew, I could definitely get behind this.

 

Agreed with everything you said here.  Spielberg, Coens and Hanks.....dream team imo.

Well I'm excited now.

[Hatebox]

Hopefully it's better than the last Hanks and Coens collaboration.

Which wasn't directed by Spielberg.

I'm not sure about opening, but this should do great business and rack up a ton of Oscar noms before they find something else to give it to like they did for every great Spielberg movie since Schindler's List.

[ddddeeee]

Yes please.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Lincoln made me remember how great Speilberg was at doing straight up dramatic films, so I'm easily there.

[Empire]

I am so down for this. Can't wait!

[Intensive]

I am way too excited for this considering how little we know about it

[forg]

excited!

[RobinHood26]

THE BERG!!!! 

[The Futurist]

He will still direct movies into his nineties if his health allows it, like Kurosawa.

Little nervous on this after being super disappointed on Unbroken but Spielberg can probably do a better Spielberg than Jolie

Yeah, Spielberg being arguably the greatest director of all time tells me he will do better with this than Jolie did with Unbroken. Also, Tom Hanks will help elevate this. I am not nervous about this at all.

[CoolioD1]

I'm not sure why this would be an Unbroken quality-wise. Unless you're comparing it due to the Coens' writing credit. Unbroken had so little of their signature on it you have to wonder how much of their draft is actually in the final product. Although after seeing Gambit a few months ago, maybe the coens do sleepwalk through these projects they don't direct themselves.

Jaws?

Raiders of the Lost Ark?

E.T.?

The Color Purple? 

Jurassic Park?

 

Plenty of his films before Schindler's List didn't win a lot of the Oscars they were nominated for. 

 

If the Oscars actually awarded BD to the one who deserves it most,

Spielberg would have 4 by now (for Jaws, Raiders, E.T., and Schindler's)

Kubrick would have 4 (Dr. Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork Orange, The Shining)

Wilder would have 3 (Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, Some Like it Hot) 

Hitchcock would have 3 (Rope, Vertigo, Psycho) 

Scorsese would have 3 (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, The Departed)

Jackson would have 3 (LOTR trilogy) 

Chaplin would have 2 (City Lights, Modern Times) 

Cameron would have 2 (Terminator 2, Titanic) 

Weir would have 2 (Dead Poets Society, Truman Show) 

Nolan would have 2 (Memento, The Dark Knight)

Reiner would have 2 (Stand by Me, Princess Bride) 

Fincher would have 2 (Fight Club, The Social Network) 

Tarantino would have 2 (Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds) 

Kurosawa would have 2 (Rashomon, Seven Samurai) 

 

You get the point  but then the Oscars would be called too populist/one-sided. Awards ceremonies tend to spread the wealth among those "who have reached their turn to win the big one". I always thought awards ceremonies should be held 10 years later. So this year, we'd be awarding the films of 2004, not 2014. It allows time to slightly test how well the films will hold up.
