HAHAHAHAHA!! That's exactly what I read before it cut off in the preview and I was like "YES!!!!!" James Cameron never direct again. lol

About directors of the future: Nolan is my top on that list. Quentin is another definite. I'd like to absolutely add Darren Aronofsky to that list as well. Also David Fincher. Along with Zack Snyder, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson and Jason Reitman to name a few.


And I agree with genesis. Spielberg isn't as good as he used to be. I don't agree that the two movies in question were as bad as genesis claims (weren't his greatest work though), and definitely don't think Avatar was any better than either really. But Spielberg has lost a step since his prime. But he can still put out some fun movies.

This might just do nobody any good.

So, this currently Denis Villeneuve’s follow-up to Dune. Of course, the latter is still has a long, long way to go but the screenwriter, David Scarpa, talked about it a bit and it sounds like exactly the sort of take I’d imagine (House of Cards):

With Cleopatra ... instead of doing the movie as the prestige picture — the three-hour, lots of pageantry, people with fans and English accents and all that stuff — [we] really treat it as a political thriller. Dirty, bloody, lots of people swearing and having sex and all of that other stuff and just treat it as a two-hour, lean, mean political thriller, full of assassinations, etc.
It’s been noted that Jolie is no longer attached to the lead and it’s been rumored that Gal Gadot is the favored replacement but, like I said, a long, long way to go.

In other words, the same old same old

Why won't James Cameron ruin Cleopatra?
