Little Women (2019, Greta Gerwig)

26/12/2023

Little Women is a 2019 film written and directed by Greta Gerwig.

The film is the seventh film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name. The cast includes Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel and Chris Cooper.

New York, 1868. Josephine "Jo" March is a young teacher who lives in a boarding house and tries to make her way as a writer, however only managing to publish short stories with a local publisher, Mr. Dashwood.

Concord, Massachusetts, 1861.

In October 2013, Sony announced that it was working on a new film adaptation of Little Women, nineteen years after the previous one: Olivia Mich would write the screenplay, for the production of Robin Swicord and Denise Di Novi. In March 2015, produced Amy Pascal joined the development, while Sarah Polley entered negotiations, which later failed, to rewrite the film and potentially direct it. In August 2016, Greta Gerwig was tapped to rewrite the screenplay. In June 2018, in light of the success of her film Lady Bird, she was also made official as director.

Arnon Milchan's New Regency Pictures and Columbia Pictures co-financed the film.

OOF dont get me started on burtons rather incidental participation in what made tnbc so wonderful... that movie (and then a lot of his movies after that) basically formed my enjoyment of animation and horror and moviemaking and its so annoying to see his movies (and other "auteur" movies for that case) be so heavily presented as something they have solely created... without the team that established the "burton aesthetic" (colleen atwood, bo welch, rick heinrichs, danny elfman, caroline thompson, denise di novi) im sure he wouldnt be half as famous as he is now. and with tnbc in particular, the narrative is so much of elfman and thompson, it almost hurts to see ppl credit burton as the sole creative vision.

ANON! YOU GET IT!!

In the case of The Nightmare Before Christmas - Tim Burton approached Henry Selick to direct the movie because he had a whole ""thing"" about it, and "didn't want to deal with the painful process of stop motion". But that meant the rest of the team had to. One story that sticks out to me is from animator Joel Fletcher, called 'The Shot from Hell', where Burton got to see firsthand, in Joel's words, 'the crew suffering to create his vision'.

Something people may not realize is that there's a department of artists who have to translate Tim's drawn 'aesthetic' into physical stop motion puppets and alike(which can be a challenge with the proportions and anatomy). The crew struggled with things like Sally's long hair and Jack's thin limbs, but they *made* it work, to keep Burton's vision. They deserve more credit for that.

Creatively, Tim's influence goes so far - when the cast was stumped on what to do with Tim's sketch of Oogie Boogie, it was Danny Elfman who stepped in and gave him his jazzy personality based on Cab Calloway. Caroline Thompson was the one who essentially developed Sally's story & personality as well. (Don't get me started on Danny improving Jack from the Poem, into a much more fleshed out character than Tim's initial vision). Visually, Henry Selick pushed many times to ensure the movie looked as wonderful as it is.

If anyone is interested in hearing from the *actual* cast of Skellington Productions, they've been working on a podcast called the We Know Jack Show, sharing their experiences with working on the movie. You can listen to the episodes here!

Johnny related on a real emotional level to the character’s pain and humor. We’re creating a new character and didn’t want an actor that carried baggage with him. Johnny could do any movie he wants, yet he chooses to take risks on emotionally complex parts. The camera likes his cheekbones but it also likes what comes through in his eyes. He’s deep, complex, intelligent, and sensitive. To me, that suggests he will fare well.

Monte Carlo (2011, Thomas Bezucha)

27/11/2023

Monte Carlo is a 2011 film directed by Thomas Bezucha.

The protagonists of the film are Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester who in the film play three friends who organize a trip to Paris. The film is based on the novel Headhunters by Jules Bass.

Grace Bennett is a high school senior from Texas who works as a waitress with her best friend Emma Perkins to earn money for a trip to Paris after graduation. After admiring the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower, they lose the bus and their tour guide, and to take shelter from the rain they find refuge in the lobby of a luxury hotel where Grace is mistaken by everyone, including the paparazzi, for an heiress Englishwoman named Cordelia Winthrop-Scott. The heiress, however, secretly leaves the hotel to join her friends in Ibiza, so they spend the night in Cordelia's suite and from that moment a new holiday begins for the three friends.

As scheduled in Cordelia's agenda, the three leave together with the heiress' luggage, on a private jet for Monte Carlo where Cordelia must participate in a charity auction for which she must donate an expensive Bulgaria diamond necklace. During a party organized in her honor, Grace meets Cordelia's aunt, Alicia who actually mistakes her for her niece thanks to her incredible resemblance and Emma dances with Domenico, a French prince. The following day, Meg reunites with Riley, a globetrotting Australian boy she met briefly in Paris. When Grace take part in a polo match, Alicia quickly discovers that she is not her niece, who is a real talent in that sport.

The evening before the auction, Prince Domenico invites Emma to a dinner on a yacht. Meanwhile Cordelia sees a photo of her in a newspaper at a party with two girls and after discovering that her necklace is missing, she calls the police.

Cordelia manages to escape and reveals Grace's fraud, also demanding that she be arrested, but after Grace makes a public confession, Aunt Alicia, believing in her good faith, unexpectedly makes a generous offer for the necklace of 6 million euros.

Eventually Meg decides to join Riley on his trip around the world which is on a peak of Machu Picchu; Owen and Emma get married and live in Texas; while Grace volunteers in schools in Romania where she meets her love, Theo.

Nicole Kidman, Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan are the producers of the film for 20th Century Fox and New Regency Productions. The production began filming in Hungary on May 5, 2010 in Budapest.

Behind The Scenes: Winona Ryder & Michael Lehmann On The Set Of HEATHERS

Off-kilter visuals and a discombobulating score help deliver an uneasy dream-like quality which added to Daniel Waters‘ warped script ensure that Michael Lehmann‘s Heathers is rightfully heralded as a cult classic. The 1988 film’s unique tone saw both Lehmann and Waters snapped up into the Hollywood machine and duo would go on to work on the woefully misjudged Bruce Willis starrer Hudson Hawk (no…
