She Said (15): Sex and the Casting Couch.

#onemannsmovies review of "She Said" (2022). #SheSaidFilm. The gripping journalism that caught Weinstein's and started "Me Too". 4.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “She Said” (2022). “She Said” is a movie in the great tradition of films about investigative journalism, so has many similarities with “The Post“, “Spotlight” and (my own personal favourite) “All the President’s Men”. Bob the Movie Man Rating(s): Plot Summary: Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) is a tenacious investigative journalist with a particular focus on sexual…

Joker: Folie À Deux | Official Trailer

When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you. Joker: Folie À Deux – only in theaters and IMAX, October 4.

From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes “Joker: Folie À Deux,” the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning “Joker,” which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”).

“Joker: Folie À Deux” finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) and Catherine Keener (“Get Out,” “Capote”), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from “Joker.”

Phillips, who was nominated for Oscars for directing, writing and producing “Joker,” directed “Joker: Folie À Deux” from a screenplay by fellow Oscar nominee Scott Silver & Phillips, based on characters from DC. The film was produced by Phillips, Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Joseph Garner. Lady Gaga served as music consultant. The film’s executive producers are Michael E. Uslan, Georgia Kacandes, Silver, Mark Friedberg and Jason Ruder.

Working with Phillips behind the camera are his team from “Joker,” including Oscar-nominated director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Mark Friedberg, Oscar-nominated editor Jeff Groth, and composer Hildur Guđnadóttir, who won the Oscar for her work on the first film. New to the team is Oscar-nominated costume designer Arianne Phillips (“Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood,” “Don’t Worry Darling”). Ruder is the film’s executive music producer and the music supervisors are Randall Poster and George Drakoulias. Casting is by Francine Maisler (the “Dune” films, “Challengers”).

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents A Joint Effort Production, A Film by Todd Phillips, “Joker: Folie À Deux.” The film will be released worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, and will be only in theaters nationwide on October 4, 2024, and beginning internationally on 2 October, 2024.

'...Casting in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie Nominees

Nina Gold and Martin Ware: Baby Reindeer Rachel Tenner, Jackie Lind, Stephanie Groin and Rhonda Fisecki: Fargo Alexa L. Fogel: Feud: Capote vs. The Swans Avy Kaufman, Francesco Vedovati and Barbara Giordani: Ripley Francine Maisler, Deborah Schildt and Alda B. Gudjónsdóttir: True Detective: Night Country

Category Analysis

...Looking over past winners, it seems like the hottest show won this award. Last year, it was Beef, the year before, The White Lotus, the year before that, The Queen’s Gambit (Do you see a pattern?).

If we apply that to this year’s nominees, I think we can dismiss Feud, which was a brilliantly cast limited series but doesn’t have any juice to it.

I think I have to say the same thing about Ripley. Again, marvelous work there, but while Andrew Scott has a serious shot at taking home gold...the fact that the show only got one other acting nomination tells me that it’s not going to win...'

[destinyc1020]

Also Anon, I thought the Deadline article that your tweet references from your tweet was pretty interesting!

It seems Lady Gaga also amazes people in Joker 2, so I can't wait for that! Like, WOW! She totally transformed her career so seamlessly! 😅

Also, did you notice what it said about casting for Dune and Dune part 2, and how the industry has changed with regards to scripts sharing? 👀

Very interesting! 😅 It's very interesting that she said it's not really about who's "hot" or who's "popular". It seems EVERYBODY wants to get in lol 😆

I know ALL them actors got their agents on the phone and said to get them a part in Dune Part 2! Rofl 👀 🤣 😂 "Hey.... put my name in!!"

That's what Zendaya did!! Shooooot!!! 😅🤣 She said when she found out about them making Dune, she told her agent to get her in there lol 😆 We've gotta be a part of this! Lol 🤭

You gotta go for what you want if you see an opportunity lol 😆 For a chance to work with Denis and an all-star cast?? Shoot, I'd do the same thing!!! 😂

Sign me tf UP!!! 😅👏🏾

Golshifteh Farahani Talks Role Of Art In Iran: “In A Dictatorship Like Iran, Art Is Essential, It’s Like Oxygen” – Berlin Film Festival

By Melanie Goodfellow Senior International Film Correspondent February 16, 2023 4:35am

Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, who is at the Berlin Film Festival as a member of Kristen Stewart’s jury, has talked passionately about the importance of art in her native country as an antidote to its repressive government.

“In a country, like Iran, which is a dictatorship, art is not only an intellectual or philosophical thing, it’s essential, it’s like oxygen,” she said at the festival’s opening press conference.

“Doing art and being an artist is something that goes beyond, because your existence, by being an artist, is put into danger.”

Iran’s authoritarian government has long persecuted professionals in the country’s creative community when they stepped out of line with its hardline Islamist views and policies.

The repression has ratcheted up over the last year. A brutal crackdown on freedom of expression, that preceded the recent protests, saw Berlinale Golden Bear winners Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof jailed for more than six months.

Both men were recently released on bail but a number of less internationally renowned filmmakers and artists remain behind bars.

Farahani has been living in France since 2012.

She was declared persona non grata back home and forced to flee after she got on the wrong side of Iran’s repressive Islamic Republic regime for taking a role in Ridley Scott’s 2008 spy thriller Body Of Lies, appearing without a hijab, and then later posing nude for French magazine Madame Figaro.

Farahani now regularly works between Europe and the U.S. with more credits including Peterson, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge, Girls Of The Sun, Arab Blues and Extraction.

The actress was last at the Berlinale in 2009 as the lead actress in Asghar Farhadi’s drama About Elly, for which he won the Silver Bear for Best Director.

She later accused Farhadi of stopping her from walking the Berlinale’s red carpet with the rest of the film team due to the controversy she was facing back home over Body Of Lies.

The director has denied the accusations saying Farahani stood separately on the red carpet out of her own volution.

“I’m very happy to be here with you,” Farahani told Thursday’s press conference.

“I came here in 2009 and it was a very different year. It’s very symbolic to be in Berlin. Berlin is the city that broke the wall, the actual wall, towards equality, freedom, and brought so many people together,” she said.

“This year with Ukraine, with Iran and the earthquake, it feels like the whole world is disintegrating,” she said. “With everything that is happening in Iran, being back in Berlin after all these years, I’m happy that we can gather together and celebrate cinema, celebrate freedom, even though the world seems to be collapsing everywhere.”

The Berlin Film Festival’s international jury, presided over by actress Stewart, also features German director Valeska Grisebach, Romanian director Radu Jude, US casting director and producer Francine Maisler, Spanish director Carla Simón, and iconic Hong Kong director and producer Johnnie To.

‘The Trial of Chicago 7’ Review: Democracy Is Calling For Immediate Solution in Aaron Sorkin's Historical Drama

‘The Trial of Chicago 7’ Review: Democracy Is Calling For Immediate Solution in Aaron Sorkin’s Historical Drama

“The whole world is watching!” It is the rallying cry in writer/director Aaron Sorkin’s Netflix original film “The Trial of Chicago 7”, which recreated the five-month federal trial in which eight anti-war activists were prosecuted for causing the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

The film is thought-provoking and entertaining like nothing you’ve seen before, and…

Anon, whilst I agree with most of the things you said, when it comes to the roles Jensen was up for, we can only disprove that by checking the manager or agent's submission sheets (if his agencies got him the audition) or by checking in with the castings directors who were handling those project at the time Francine Maisler for 50 Shades (Sam Taylor-Johnson was the director for this movie) and Sarah Halley Finn for Captain America. I highly doubt Jensen doesn't know that making up rumors about about roles he is up for can negatively impact his image. I don't think he would ever do that as it is a huge mistake since people can easily check the verity of such claims by contacting the linked professionals. But you are 100% right in saying that he drops those names and stories because it puts him on a certain path, he is branding himself all the time but just all over the place. As for that blog, can you kindly specify which blog you are referring to? A lot of blogs/articles (some pr fluff) report a lot of things without actually considering the whole picture. They all fantasize about Jensen being a certain way when it takes two minutes to look at his actions and see what his choices actually reflect. But I get that for some people it will always be easier to objectify and idealize instead of actually love someone where they are and how they are especially when people don't fit the box. Also, people have a really weird definition of reserved, as you noted. Fully agree, he would greatly benefit by honing in on his brand.

__________________________________________________________

Clarification for anon: Jensen said he never auditioned for Captain America and said a producer recommended he audition for Christian Grey. No director came to his home. This was circulated by AA's a few years ago but they're false. But I agree that he brings them up bc being associated with big roles is good for his name (how many articles has he been in re: Captain America) HARD agree about him talking about Affleck. That " We call each other Benny A. and Jenny A." story was so cringey to me.

Thank you, anon! If I remember correctly Danneel even denied the 50 shades rumor on Twitter back in September 2012.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqV4FBhtKOE

He states the Executive Producer went to his house. That would be Jeb Brody or Marcus Viscidi, I think they were executive producers on that one. The story sounds kinda weird, I don't think he thought through before saying it out loud, I'm not saying it's not possible, it's just weird. The"rumors" he referred to I am not sure why he is even bringing up, if he would have been in the run for something his agent or manager would have let him know without a doubt and if they thought someone was interested in him they would have reached out to pitch him first and foremost and then they would have gotten back to him with accurate info. So "rumors" are only for fans, actors don't play the guessing game because their teams keep them informed and when required reach out to get more information, pitch the client or negotiate depending on the stage the casting process is in. He's just bringing up the rumors to feed the flames but that is a part of his job. Judging by his comments he seems like he has very little grasp on the industry and that seems odd. I hope he gets some much needed clarity, it would help him to make more informed choices in the future.
