The Personal History of David Copperfield | Official Trailer | Fox Searchlight Pictures
THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD re-imagines Charles Dickens’ classic ode to grit and perseverance through the comedic lens of its award-winning filmmakers— giving the Dickensian tale new life for a cosmopolitan age with a diverse ensemble cast of stage and screen actors from across the world. Emmy® winners and Oscar® nominees Armando Iannucci (IN THE LOOP, THE DEATH OF STALIN, HBO’S Veep) and Simon Blackwell (IN THE LOOP, HBO’S Succession) lend their wry, yet heart-filled storytelling style to revisiting Dickens’ iconic hero on his quirky journey from impoverished orphan to burgeoning writer in Victorian England.
In theaters May.

Steven Spielberg no longer to direct Indiana Jones 5, James Mangold takes over his chair (x)
After a long development process, Steven Spielberg is handing the directing reins on Indiana Jones 5 to another filmmaker for the first time in the franchise’s 39-year history.
Spielberg will remain as a hands-on producer on Indiana Jones. According to a source close to the filmmaker, the decision to leave the director’s chair was entirely Spielberg’s, in a desire to pass along Indy’s whip to a new generation to bring their perspective to the story.
With a new director coming on board, the possibility that Indiana Jones. will be pushed once more from its 2021 release date seems likely. Spokespeople for Spielberg and Disney declined to comment.

I feel like at this point i won’t see another Indiana Jones, the fourth film is closest thing that had true happy ending to close the franchise, plus Harrison Ford is getting older, what else needs to be told? (asides Indy’s unlikeable son)
-
Star Harrison Ford remains on board for the film.
This is the latest creative change for the feature, which was first announced in March 2016 by Disney and Lucasfilm. It was initially given a release date of July 19, 2019, which was pushed back to July 10, 2020.
In June 2018, Jonathan Kasdan, the son of Raiders of the Lost Ark scripter Lawrence Kasdan, was brought on to write a new draft of the feature, delaying the production further and pushing the release to July 9, 2021.
The choice to hand over the reins on Indiana Jones 5 fell to Spielberg. He decided to step down so that the next generation of filmmakers could usher the franchise forward, according to a source close to Spielberg.
Spielberg stepping away could be good for the movie, but it will signal to many that he’s losing confidence in the whole thing.

It does. I don’t know if the world is exactly waiting for a Candyman reboot, but it’d be nice to have a good one introducing the character to a new generation. I hope they keep the romantic angle, too.
For a momen there, I thought Virginia Madsen was in the new one, as well, but it’s just Rebecca Spence looking a wee bit like her.
Though there does seem to be a direct connection, in that Yahya Abdul-Mateen is playing the baby from the original, with Vanessa Williams coming back to cameo as his mother:

I wasn’t as crazy about the CGI bees
To be fair, I think the bees weren’t all that great in the original, either?
what do you mean? The bees in the original were real. Tony Todd made an extra $20,000 because of being stung.

Which sucks – the best thing about her marrying into the Royal Family was that she was out of the acting game.

I receive emails from the Houston Cinema Arts Society and they had the following in their latest email:
COVID-19: Movie Recommendations to Survive Social Distancing
We acknowledge the growing concerns and uncertainty facing Houston and the rest of the world due to COVID-19. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust programming accordingly in line with local and federal guidelines and social distancing recommendations. Given the current environment, the safety of our visitors, patrons, and staff is our top priority.During these times, most of us are turning to streaming movies to pass the time. Our own Michael Robinson curated a list of films he recommends to stream during the next few weeks. Some of them are joyful escapes from the current desperate climate, some are poignant meditations with clear political connections to current events, and others just didn’t get enough love when they first came out.
1. Safe (1995), Dir. Todd Haynes
The most appropriate social isolation film, Safe examines illness and perception in a haunting and horrific way.2. Atlantics (2019), Dir. Mati Diop
Coming from a background of documentaries and experimental films, Diop conjures a ghost love story that feels both rooted and ethereal.3. Honey Boy (2019), Dir. Alma Har’el
Deservingly winning a Special Jury Prize for Vision and Craft at Sundance 2019, Har’el’s fictional take on Shia LaBeouf’s childhood is heartbreaking and beautiful.4. Black Moon (1975), Dir. Louis Malle
A magical castle, an oversized unicorn, and a glass of milk, Black Moon is full of absurdity and enchantment in the time of the apocalypse.5. A Monster with a Thousand Heads (2015), Dir. Rodrigo Plá
After her insurance company refuses to pay medical expenses in order for her husband to survive, Sonia Bonet takes matters into her own hands to get him treatment. A medical drama existing during debilitating insurance policies disguised as a thriller, this film highlights systematic injustices of those who can’t afford treatment.6. American Honey (2016), Dir. Andrea Arnold
While we currently might be in self-isolation, this escapist road trip movie allows you to see outside of your neighborhood and throughout middle America as it follows teenagers dissatisfied with where they live, trying to sell magazines door to door as an escape from their worlds.7. Paddington 2 (2017), Dir. Paul King
Who doesn’t need charm by a friendly bear during times of crisis?8. How to Survive a Plague (2012), Dir. David France
Following the activists of the HIV/AIDS crisis, France’s deeply moving documentary traces the protests from ACT UP and TAG to get the government to address the epidemic.9. It Felt Like Love (2013), Dir. Eliza Hittman
While we await Eliza Hittman’s Berlin and Sundance-winning film, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, catch up on her first feature focusing on a young girl dissecting her obsession with an older boy. Hittman’s films give deep empathy towards the “teen in peril” drama and her first film proves this as well as any of her other films.10. Casting JoBenet (2017), Kitty Green
In what could have been a straightforward “who do we think killed JoBenet?”, Kitty Green investigates the cultural memory of of JoBenet Ramsey and how cultural moments such as these become instilled in us.11. Closed Curtain (2013), Jafar Panahi and Kambuzia Partovi
While living under house arrest from the Iranian government, director Jafar Panahi worked with Kambuzia Partovi to film an existential and meditative film almost entirely set in a home. Unlike his previous movie, This is Not a Film, Closed Curtain shows the viewer that while making films against a government ban can be exciting in rebellion, it is also lonely and depressing state to continue to make art in.1 user thanked author for this post.

I just watched Safe the other day. Terrific movie–downright Lynchian in places. Now I have to watch more Todd Haynes.
Atlantics is also a great film. It’s in my top ten of last year.

Matt and Ben and Ridley Scoot oh my.

This here pandemic won’t help Ben’s recovery much. Isolation. Distance. Liquor stores “essential” and open. If there are any Anonymous meetings, they’re usually virtual. No services. Deliveries. Liquor stores deliver. (So do pizza places, thank God, as I justone, and the rations have been short.) Extra hard to stay sober in these times. Reminds me of 30 Days of Night.

The Mystery Ink gang are hired by a town in Scotland who complain they’re being plagued by monsters but we discover throughout the film the monsters are actually the victims & Scooby & Shaggy have to come to terms with their own prejudices & narrow belief systems. (Yes, Really!)

Maybe Gunn can retool that storyline for Guardians of the Galaxy 3, with Rocket and Quill in the Scooby and Shaggy roles.
Maybe not.
Dear Lord, that was a fine idea in principle, but I fear it would’ve been very difficult to deliver on the premise.
People like their monsters to be monstrous.
Misunderstood monsters matter though, so I would’ve hoped it worked.
