Tony Scott directing 9-year-old Dakota Fanning behind the scenes of MAN ON FIRE. The gentleness, trust and emotional focus they share is incredible. "Damn, you break my heart." Wow.
MAN ON FIRE (2004)
Tony Scott utilized an old hand-cranked film camera built in 1910 to make movie magic. No CGI needed.
DP Paul Cameron built a "merry-go-round" rig that spun Denzel Washington and the camera 360 degrees to create a hyper-kinetic visual effect.
Real advice: have a main career and be a film critic on the side. You won’t make money from film criticism and you honestly shouldn’t expect to at this point in time.
advice to young critics; you are allowed to attend a maximum of 2 film festivals where you will lose money. after that, you gotta be real with urself. why are you attending? is it fomo? don't go into debt for cinema my friends
JAMES BOND 📺 Coming to @criterionchannl in June! criterion.com/current/posts/…
The legend of cinema’s most iconic superspy begins here, with the trio of films that turned writer Ian Fleming’s suave secret agent James Bond into a global phenomenon. Among the most rewatchable blockbusters of all time, these thrillers laid the groundwork for one of the most influential and enduring franchises in film history.
The cinematic medium should never underestimate the importance of what came before and after this film. A monumental piece of hope that descended into patronising chaos. Outstanding episode so please listen! xx

#ProjectHailMary screenwriter Drew Goddard is writing and directing "The Matrix 5" and says "I can't speak" to whether or not Keanu Reeves is returning or not.
"I can’t say too much, because we’re still in the stage of writing it. I need to give myself space to find the best story. I think the approach will be the way I approach anything, which is, do I love it? And I love what Lana and Lilly Wachowski did with those movies. They mean so much to me and I feel like they’ve had a profound impact on my creative voice. I take this responsibility very seriously. I feel the weight of wanting to do right by the fans, wanting to do right by the creators and wanting to do right for myself as a fan."

Ridley Scott's thoughts on whether he shares Martin Scorsese's concerns about time slipping away.
“Since he started Killers of the Flower Moon, I’ve made four films. No, I don’t think about it. I get up in the morning and say: ‘Ah great! Another day of stress.’”
