The following movies are missing from my Coen Bros. viewing experience:
- Blood Simple
- Miller's Crossing
- The Man Who Wasn't There
- Hail, Caesar!
- MacBeth (because it isn't out yet)

I know Miller's Crossing is probably the biggest deficit, in terms of movies that people say you HAVE to watch. But, considering I will most probably at least LIKE all of these movies, which one should be next? The last two I watched were The Hudsucker Proxy (never seen before, fantastic comedy, shot right to the top of my list of favorites) and Burn After Reading (had seen before, also fantastic, but definitely slower to start since it's a comedy of errors. but every joke from the first phone call to Ozzie onward is an absolute Ace and it's so worth that build up).

Imagine all this discourse that DON'T LOOK UP is getting was around AMERICAN DREAMZ instead, because that's the level of satire that you're dealing with.

quote:

Swinton will star opposite Idris Elba in Three Thousand Years of Longing, George Miller’s first feature since Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). Again, we don’t yet know much about the story, but it may involve a scholar, a djinn, and three wishes. “This film has been simmering in the back of my mind for some time,” said Miller last year. “If we can pull it off, I believe we have the makings of something unusually tasty.” It will be “more or less at heart a two-hander, even though it’s way more complex than that . . . There are action scenes, but they are by the by, and I guess you could say it’s the anti–Mad Max.”

David Fincher has been shooting The Killer in Paris with Swinton and Michael Fassbender. Andrew Kevin Walker, who wrote Se7en (1995), has adapted Alexis Nolent’s series of graphic novels about an assassin working through an existential crisis, and Scott Stuber, the head of original films at Netflix, promises that Fincher is nailing “the methodology of that world . . . It’s a really fun, big movie.”

Three filmmakers who had a hand in changing the course of American cinema in the 1970s are still at it. Killers of the Flower Moon, based on the 2017 book by David Grann, will be Martin Scorsese’s sixth collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio and his tenth with Robert De Niro. Jesse Plemons plays an FBI agent leading an investigation into the murders of wealthy Osage people in Oklahoma in the early 1920s. One of the projects Scorsese will turn to next, by the way, is a biopic based on the life of Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia starring Jonah Hill.

James Gray, too, is drawing from a chapter in his childhood. Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, and Anthony Hopkins will star in Armageddon Time, a story set in Queens just before the presidential election that put Ronald Reagan in the White House. “In some sense, yes, it’s about my childhood, but [it’s also] an illustration of familial love really on every level,” says Gray. “I’m of the belief that most people do their best and that they try their best under difficult circumstances and in some sense that’s a beautiful thing and very moving to me.”

“I have unfinished business with the future,” announced David Cronenberg back in April, and he then spent August and September shooting Crimes of the Future in Greece with Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, Kristen Stewart, Scott Speedman, and Don McKellar. This will not be a remake of Cronenberg’s 1970 Crimes of the Future. The new film will take us to a not-so-distant future when humanity begins to biologically alter itself in order to adapt to the synthetic environment we’ve created. Some embrace this “Accelerated Evolution Syndrome,” while others try to maintain control over it. “We are being pulled into a world that is not quite like this or any other,” said Mortensen in Athens, “and yet it is one that feels strangely familiar, immediate and quite credible.”

Infinity Pool, currently in postproduction, will be the third feature from Cronenberg’s son Brandon. Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman star as James and Em, a young jet-setting couple vacationing at a luxury resort where something ominous looms just outside the hotel gates. In September, Caitlin Cronenberg made a one-minute short with her father, The Death of David Cronenberg, which was auctioned off as an NFT. An award-winning celebrity photographer, she has now lined up her first feature, Humane. Twenty percent of the world’s population has been lost to an environmental catastrophe, and one father’s decision to volunteer for the government’s euthanasia program goes terribly wrong.

Terrence Malick reportedly began shooting his biblical epic The Way of the Wind in the summer of 2019 in Italy before moving on to Iceland. The current status is anyone’s guess, but we do know that Géza Röhrig (Son of Saul) will play Jesus and Mark Rylance has confirmed that he will portray four versions of Satan. Further cast members include Matthias Schoenaerts, Ben Kingsley, and Joseph Fiennes.

Canterbury Glass may or may not be the title of David O. Russell’s next feature, which will be out on November 4. The current synopsis reads in full: “A doctor and a lawyer form an unlikely partnership.” And what a cast. Margot Robbie again, and Christian Bale, John David Washington, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Robert De Niro, Mike Myers, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Shannon, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Alessandro Nivola—and Taylor Swift.

Here’s what we know about Jordan Peele’s Nope. Daniel Kaluuya, who broke through in Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out (2017), is back. His costars include Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun. There’s a site and a poster, and Universal will release the film on July 22. That’s it for now.

Joaquin Phoenix will play one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time in Ari Aster’s “nightmare comedy” Disappointment Blvd. Joining Phoenix are Nathan Lane, Patti LuPone, Amy Ryan, Parker Posey, Richard Kind, and Meryl Streep. The Northman, Robert Eggers’s Viking revenge thriller set in tenth-century Iceland, stars Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Dafoe, Ethan Hawke, Claes Bang, Björk, and Ralph Ineson. The film is set to open on April 22, and the first trailer has just been released.

Ruben Östlund’s dark comedy Triangle of Sadness stars Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean as a couple invited on luxury cruise; the captain (Woody Harrelson) is a committed Marxist. The ship sinks, the passengers are stranded on a deserted island, and suddenly, the cleaning lady, the only one among them with essential survival skills, upends the group dynamic.

Yorgos Lanthimos should have Poor Things, an adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel, ready some time next year. Emma Stone stars as Belle, who tries to drown herself in order to escape her abusive husband (Ramy Youssef). When she’s rescued, her father (Willem Dafoe) replaces her brain with that of her unborn child. Mark Ruffalo, Margaret Qualley, and Kathryn Hunter appear in supporting roles.

---

Brendan Fraser will play Charlie, a 600-pound middle-aged man trying to reconnect with his seventeen-year-old daughter (Sadie Sink) in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. The cast includes Samantha Morton and Hong Chau. Adapting his own 2012 play, Samuel D. Hunter has written his first feature-length screenplay.

A detective (Park Hae-il) investigating a possible murder in the mountainous countryside finds himself falling for the man’s widow (Tang Wei)—a prime suspect—in Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave. Postproduction is just about complete, and Park has already begun work on his limited series adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s award winning novel The Sympathizer.
