“From the beginning with Timothée, he made a point to make me feel like I deeply belonged with this group of people, that nothing I could do would be bad, and if I felt any sort of insecurity I could talk to him and he could comfort me. There’s a safety net we shared where there was no judgment.”

-Taylor Russell talking about collaborating with Timothée Chalamet (Indie Wire, Sept. 6, 2022)

Indie Wire released a featurette with several clips from All of Us Strangers that were not in the trailer (contains some spoilers!) and also some short clips from the director Andrew Haigh, and some from the cast, presumably filmed before the strike.

For Haigh, Scott felt like the only choice for Adam. The director is 50 and the actor is 47, which gave the two men a certain shorthand. “He’s a man of a certain generation like me. And we both grew up gay and there was a lot of stuff that was coming out about that for both of us,” he said . “We bonded as you do often with people when you’ve had the same experience or a similar experience.” 

The specificity to which Haigh alludes is being a queer Gen Xer who must come to terms with their sexuality during the AIDS crisis. “Obviously, things have got so much better,” he said. “But all of that pain that a generation of people felt growing up, that hasn’t all vanished, that pain is still there, it’s still lurking..."

This is a video I wanted to upload quite long ago, but, it seems, it's too long or heavy for Tumblr, so here's the link:

It's from a live Q&A session of Diego Luna with IndieWire's Eric Kohn via Instagram in 2020 and it's a real treasure!!!

‘Run Lola Run’ Will Sprint Back Into Theaters This Summer, Complete with a 4K Restoration

Tom Tykwer's unstoppable Franka Potente-starring thriller will celebrate its 25th anniversary this June.

'Run Lola Run' — Sony Pictures Classics

Looking for a genuinely heart-pounding, inventive blockbuster for your summer movie-watching schedule? Consider something classic: Tom Tykwer’s clever 1999 thriller “Run Lola Run.” In celebration of the film‘s 25th anniversary, Sony Pictures Classics announced Friday that they will reissue the film in theaters on June 7, timed to coincide with the film’s original U.S. release. The anniversary reissue will feature a new DCP from the 4K restoration, “created in collaboration with the filmmakers.”

Written and directed by Tykwer, “Run Lola Run” was a breakout smash hit for both the filmmaker and his star Franka Potente. Per today’s announcement, at the time of its original release, the film was “hailed for its experimental structure, propulsive techno score (composed by Tykwer, Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil), and Potente’s fierce performance as the titular, flame-haired heroine.” IndieWire’s review from 1999 hailed its “clever, wholly unique narrative concept” which “instantly makes it one of the more original, unpretentious European films seen on these shores in years.”

Per today’s announcement, the film follows “Lola (Franka Potente) [as she] answers a call from her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), a small-time courier for a big-time gangster. He has a problem: His boss is coming to pick up 100,000 Deutsche Marks in 20 minutes, and he doesn’t have the money. With Manni’s life on the line, Lola runs through the streets of Berlin to reach him and somehow pick up 100,000 marks along the way, making split-second decisions and encountering acquaintances, family, and strangers. As the clock ticks down, the tiniest choices become life-altering (or life-ending), and the fine line between fate and fortune begins to blur.”

As the clock ticks down, the tiniest choices become life-altering (or life-ending), and the fine line between fate and fortune begins to blur.”

The film is told in three variations and memorably features three endings, all of it set to a soundtrack that continues to draw accolades from film buffs and soundtrack fans today. Sony Pictures Classics initially released the film in the U.S., a year after its German release. The film grossed over $7 million dollars in the United States and Canada, becoming one of the highest grossing foreign-language films ever released domestically at that time. It ultimately made $22 million worldwide. 

“Run Lola Run” started its, er, run with an enviable festival schedule: it screened at Venice, TIFF, and Sundance (where it won the Audience Award), before picking up seven awards at the German Film Awards and being picked as the German entry for Best Foreign Language film at the 71st Academy Awards (though it did not make the film pack of five nominees).

In an official statement, Sony Pictures Classics brass shared, “Over the past 25 years, ‘Run Lola Run’ remains one of the most enduring Sony Pictures Classics titles of all time. It is as timely now as when it first appeared in theaters in 1999. Our nationwide reissue in June is a celebration of this first hi-tech thriller presented as it deserves, to be seen and reseen on the big screen, and to continue to dazzle new generations of viewers.” 

Earlier this year, SPC re-released another one of its beloved classics into theaters: Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s delightful “Amélie.” In the coming months, the distributor will release a pair of new films, including the Dakota Johnson-starring “Daddio” and the Sundance hit “Kneecap.”

2.19.23 Evening! As promise…Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the top runner with $104.0M. That’s pretty good don’t you think? Avatar: The Way of Water is clinging to number two with $6.1M with a total gross of $657.1M Even though the latest Marvel film has been panned by critics, people came to see it anyway to get their own view on the film. Both Critic and Audience-Proof? No One Loves…

So what else does she want to do? Not missing a beat, Monroe laughs. “A lighthearted comedy!”
