Skeleton Jelly 2 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Coens have written a screenplay adaptation of To the White Sea, which is a WWII novel about an American soldier shot down and escaping across Japan. It's an interesting choice for them because there's almost no dialogue after the 10th page. They said that Brad Pitt told them he would play the lead role for almost nothing. And yet it's not going to get made.It's amazing to me that no studio will sign off on Coen Brothers + Brad Pitt. Apparently the budget for it would be something like $80 million, which, if I had to guess, is probably a lot more than any other movie they've done.But still. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I tend to prefer the movies which have more of a humorous element. NCFOM was very well executed, but at the end of the day it is a thriller/suspense movie and those just don't tend to have as much appeal for me. I couldn't criticise anything about it; I still rate it very highly. I put True Grit and Miller's Crossing below it, and I rate both of those 4/5 also. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 So I saw boiler room this weekend, and it was a big disappointment. I was told that it was on par with movies like Glengary Glen Ross and Wall street, and it just was not.However, Vin absolutely stole the show. People talk about Affleck being so good in the movie,a nd his interview scene being on par with Baldwin, but vin was the real revelation in this movie, and playing a stock broker of all things, far outside of his comfort zone, but he still nailed it.My updated Vin List xXx xXx: the return of xander cage ( i'm assuming. it's out in 2011, but it HAS to rule) The fast and the furious Pitch black Fast and Furious Boiler Room (not enough vin, but he's great in it )Saving Private Ryan (obviously this movie is a better movie, but in terms of it's "Vin-ness" it doesn't feature him near enough. But he eats up the screen when he's on it) Special shout out to Toyko drift, which is even better than the fast and the furious for my tastes, but Vin only has a cameo. Next on the list: babylon ad Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ok. Cool.Not sure why you quoted me there.Oh, I quoted you because I thought it was relevant to the question of whether or not the Coen bros. should get an $80m budget. If a goddam Western by them has raked in twice that already, before international distribution and dvds, then I would think a WWII film with goddam Brad Pitt would probably make half a billion worldwide.

timwakefield 68 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 With no dialog?I kind of forgot about that part (no dialog after page 10), but they could just give it dialog. It wasn't clear that they are trying to make a movie with hardly any dialog, just that they are adapting something that originally had hardly any dialog. I suppose if Pitt's character is alone in the jungle or whatever the whole time then it'd be difficult, but hell, Castaway was successful. Link to post Share on other sites

So, the way they've written the movie, there would be almost no dialogue. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Studio's need to trust the Coen's. The movie would definitely make back $80m after worldwide boxoffice and dvd. Even their movies that don't preform well in theaters have a lot of legs because of their cult following. Link to post Share on other sites

The studio said, ‘You can’t fit all that story in one damn movie!’" Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 BIG NEWS ON THE xXx 3 front! The project has been in limbo, but it's been given the green light. .from IMDB.. Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons.Sam and Vin are back on the project, but the biggest news is, signed on for the director is....Rob Cohen. Suck it, haters. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Vu 176 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't really know what you're doing in this thread, but I always enjoy it.I also laughed at this: Are the Coen Brothers doing a Fast and Furious movie?

brvheart 1,752 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wait. What does "one night only" mean? That seems to be paced and themed the same as A Serious Man. I'm sure I'll love it, but that trailer wasn't super exciting. If it wasn't Coen Bros I would laugh at how stupid it looks. However, being a Coen movie gives it a lot of hope.
