"Sound of Thunder" director Alejandro Monteverde has an unusual stipulation in his 10-year deal with Angel Studios. The distributor, which mostly focuses on Christian content, has agreed to purchase the filmmaker a house valued at $4-5 million in a location of his choosing. The studio also has an unusual approach to filmmaking — it decides what to green light based on the votes of the Angel Guild, 300,000 paid subscribers. Here's more from @IndieWire.
Recherches pour mon prochain court (qui vient d'obtenir un nouveau financement, wouhou) : auriez- vous des exemples de films "en costumes" dont la musique s'éloigne de ce qu'on pourrait attendre pour ce genre de films ? (électronique, percussive, que sais-je...) #cinéma
This week's #Monsterdon movie is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955), by a goddamn landslide. It's about a Nazi creating atomic zombies to help a mobster regain power? That actually sounds kind of cool, I wonder how they'll flub it. Long talky scenes? Big slabs of silence? Misogyny? All this and more, I have no doubt.
Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...
It seems a person can get married there. It's expensive for a wedding venue, but since my dream wedding doesn't involve a crowd, that helps to keep costs down, so splurging on the venue might be more financially attainable than I'd expect.
@nyrath - yeah, cinema-going is even more problematic than ever before. Which is why I always try to say if you can. I listen to a lot of podcasts where people tell others that they MUST see a new release on the big screen, which is all well and good for those who have the location, finances, and full health. Otherwise it’s not as easy as they think it is.
