Must see movie trailers…

There’s a reason Idina was cast as Elsa on ‘Frozen’. Her vocal chords are going to be VERY hard to top on a ‘Wicked’ film by any other actress. Closest I can think of is Sarah Brightman but I think even Idina might struggle getting the high note at the end of ‘Phantom of the Opera’.

Too artsy for me, so I am reluctant to post this one. Interesting concept for an original screenplay. Could definitely see people wanting A.I. to erase their memories for to work on their subconscious minds, but with this one, I like how they are kind of combining feelings and memories with Past Life Regression. Kind of getting “Last Night in Soho” vibes off it.

The year is 2044: artificial intelligence controls all facets of a stoic society as humans routinely “erase” their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by their past-life romances, Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (George MacKay). Set first in Belle Époque-era Paris Louis is a British man who woos her away from a cold husband, then in early 21st Century Los Angeles, he is a disturbed American bent on delivering violent “retribution.” Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates? Visually audacious director Bertrand Bonello (Saint Laurent, Nocturama) fashions his most accomplished film to date: a sci-fi epic, inspired by Henry James turn-of-the-century novella, suffused with mounting dread and a haunting sense of mystery. Punctuated by a career-defining, three-role performance by Seydoux, The Beast poignantly conveys humanity’s struggle against dissociative identity and emotionless existence.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.

Might check out Kraven. Maybe Joker. I am not hot on entertainment anymore. It’s challenging for me to get into something and never know what project or idea will reach me. Takes effort to find anything good. I like Ai as a topic, like Ultron or The Machine. I am still really into esoteric indie comics, because when they are done right, you have that great idea for cinema.

Synopsis: Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.

@DragonLady You beat me do it. Thought did cross the mind. It was not the film that is cursed, but the Lee family, with Bruce Lee having a mysterious death and then, Brandon Lee, too. Brandon Lee was supposed to be the lead role in The Matrix before the tragedy, but it went to Keanu. Brandon Lee would have been such an amazing star with such a career. The world was really deprived of a lot of things due to his mysterious gun shot death.

You raise a point that I don’t want to think about but Bill Skarsgård has a family full of actors and we do not want to see the Lee family curse on any other family, or at least not on Bill’s. Bill looks amazing though. He’s over 6’3″ and in shape. He kind of looks like if Tom Brady was a young actor.

Until Alex Gherzo said it, I was not even aware of the sequels and direct to video attempts of The Crow story. There were at least three of them. They are all kind of similar stories of premature death and unfinished business and The Crow giving a soul and spirit another chance to make things right.
So, any wrongful death under circumstances can be The Crow. It’s surprising that they did not race swap or gender swap the character, because, in the comic, there have been female versions of The Crow. I did see one guy mad about taking some of the Goth out of it. We kind of need like a Tim Burton version of it. Was thinking about how much I liked the Wednesday show. That whole goth thing is kind of foreign to me, so I am always so curious about it.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer, The Crow: City of Angels and The Crow: Salvation were the other efforts at film. Just hear of another called The Crow: Stairway To Heaven
