For real ??


So is this movie really happening ???
Is Jack Nicholson coming back ??

reply

God I hope so. That way, he can end his career on a good movie, hopefully.

reply

Yeah really! The amazing talent he possesses, he deserves it.

reply

You are not kidding, nhnolan! I was so afraid his last film would be 'How Do You Know.' Who knows, maybe he'll even win another Oscar and tie Katharine Hepburn's record. :)

reply

No need to tie KH record completely different levels, a lot more competition in Male categories because films back then were more centered around the male lead. Meryl Streep is also a much better actress than KH

reply

Meryl Streep is also a much better actress than KH??? That, my friend, is a lie.

reply

Kate was fab, but, let's face it, no one has Meryl's range.

Non-sequiturs are delicious.

reply

Yea, Meryl's range?

For about the last fifteen years Meryl, it seems to me, plays one of two keys: seriously dramatic or comic. A variety of character traits that seemed at one time limitless have noticeably been repeated.

Yes, she has a range, and I acknowledge the choices, but rarely consider them anything BUT choices, these days.

Think Streep at her best when playing comedy. Am serious when I say DEATH BECOMES HER one of Streep's greatest performances. She actually makes you forget the special effects.

Her last performance that I believed was in MAMA MIA.

I would disagree on the contention that the films were more centred on the male lead "back then". That is a huge generalization. However, I would agree wholeheartedly that Meryl Streep is much better than KH. KH was very overrated and did not adapt herself into a role as Streep has done so often and so effectively. Seen one KH characterization and you have seen them all.

There is no chance this film wins an Oscar.

I've heard that Matthew Broderick is involved.

I remember Warren Beatty mentioning working on a Howard Hughes movie in the summer of 1990 while promoting "Dick Tracy".

Does anyone know why Felicity Jones isn't in this? She was slated for it forever then bam, she's gone.

reply

Most likely she got a few years too old since the part seems to be 18-20. Lily Collins is playing her now

reply

what the?? we are getting a new beaty movie!?!?!? shiver me timbers!!

reply

I'm waiting for the Beatty/Lily Collins affair rumors :)
