So a modern day Guy Ritchie movie?

Honestly I'm just glad the guy seems to be using his paycheck from his live action Alladin movie for Disney (which somehow made a billion dollars) to make small caper-type movies he cares about even if the movies themselves are pretty average. More filmmakers should follow that example

I'm very glad there's quite a few very good actors that do. Pretty sure Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe are both still doing what ever projects they want off there off LOTR and Potter money.

For whatever reason I really like Wrath of Man. Doesn't feel like a Guy Ritchie move at all and it somehow just hit all the right beats for me

It was an attempt at Smoking Aces 3 as far as I am concerned. Better than 2 at least...

There's a sequel to Smoking Aces? Which has weirdly good parts in all the noise.

Seth Rogan's TMNT cast:

quote:

Voicing the Heroes in a Half Shell are young actors Micah Abbey (Meet the Voxels) as Donatello, Nicolas Cantu (The Fablemans) as Leonardo, Shamon Brown Jr. (The Chi) as Michelangelo, and Brady Noon (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as Raphael. Jackie Chan will be voicing Master Splinter, and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) will portray their longtime human ally April O’Neil.

In the new film, the Turtles have been saving New York for years and yearn to be recognized for their deeds. When they and April go after a new crime syndicate that’s popped up in the city, things get out of hand when mutants emerge in the city and start wreaking...well, mayhem. Naturally, it falls to them to fix it.

The mutants the Turtles will go up against will be a collection of characters from TMNT history. Inhabiting those roles are Hannibal Burress as Genghis Frog, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko, Maya Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Ice Cube as Superfly (who appears to be an original creation for the film), Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman, Seth Rogen as Bebop, and John Cena as Rocksteady.

Trailer on Monday

I hope he's not CGI, just plain Cena with a piece of paper rolled up and stuck on his nose.

Yeah, uh it isn't very good. My memory of smoking aces is about 30 minutes of unavoidable setup, 30 minutes of a good and interesting movie, 30 minutes of dull FBI drama/twist, 15 minutes of timewasting with Ben's bail bondsmen plot. Maybe 15 minutes of good stuff in the second one, including the hillbillies raiding the circus. And the end of movie stinger's stinger. The cast isn't bad but the budget and script isn't there in my opinion.

I was at a Director Q+A for Sorry To Bother You (this is in Dublin), and some guy asked Boots Riley if he had some Irish connection because of his name.

Boots *in a voice indicating he might be talking to the dumbest motherfucker on the planet*: Yeah there's lots of reasons why a black guy in America might have an Irish surname, in this case my family were owned as slaves...

Some guy, frantically backpedaling: Ah well, who knows how these things happen...

Boots *in a voice indicating he's definitely talking to the dumbest motherfucker on the planet*: No, I'm actually completely sure about how that happened.


Amazingly, I've actually forgotten the exact wording of that exchange which was somehow way more awkward than that, but kudos to Boots for being 100% real and then also moving on without making the rest of the Q+A weird as hell

Too late, it's a Q and A.

I used to go to TIFF every summer and the weirdest motherfuckers run to grab the mic after a premiere is done. I remember seeing this weird fat old guy just rushing between the two lines on either side of the theater just to repeat his awkward as hell questions and rants

Taking on an iconic Swayze role is probably something he takes extremely seriously though, most actors seem to have a lot of admiration for Swayze.
