‘Petite Maman’: Film Review | Berlin 2021
Céline Sciamma follows her international art-house breakthrough, 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire,' with this study of an 8-year-old girl who finds a unique path to better understanding her mother in the wake of loss. There's a gorgeous scene early in Petite Maman that epitomizes the unfussy economy and emotional perceptiveness of Céline Sciamma's films. Watching intently from the back seat of the family car as her mother climbs in, stifling tears, and they head off to begin packing up the home of the maternal grandmother who has recently died, the film's 8-year-old protagonist asks permission to break out the snacks. Seldom taking her eyes off her mother in the rear vision mirror, the girl snarfs down a few cheese crisps before the frame closes in on her parent at the wheel. Without another word being spoken, we see the child's little hand reach forward to pop one, two, three snacks in her mother's mouth. That's followed by a juice box as the straw is brought to the driver's lips. … [Read more...] about ‘Petite Maman’: Film Review | Berlin 2021

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Will Delve Further Into the Origins of Themyscira
Connie Nielsen, who plays Queen Hippolyta in the DCEU, has shed light on new details revolving around Zack Snyder's Justice League , and a subplot involving "more of the Amazonians". Zack Snyder developed a deep interconnected version of Justice League that never saw the light of the day. If you remember in the theatrical cut of Justice League , there were two sequences involving the Amazons, one when Steppenwolf invades their island to retrieve the Mother Box, and the other one a flashback, focusing on the bigger war Steppenwolf was raging against the planet. The latter of which will now have Darkseid as originally envisioned by Snyder in his cut coming to HBO Max. Not revealing too many details about the Snyder Cut before its HBO Max premiere, Connie Nielsen focused on how Zack Snyder's Justice League will dig deeper into the Amazon's origin and explore the backstory of Themyscira in comparison to what we witnessed in Patty Jenkin's Wonder Woman . She states … [Read more...] about Zack Snyder’s Justice League Will Delve Further Into the Origins of Themyscira
Batman Producer Tried to Kickstart the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Luke Cage
Comicbook movie fans tend to view the MCU and DCEU as competing entities, but for Hollywood, one successful comic character is much the same as another, and both equally ripe for a movie adaptation, no matter which company the character belongs to. In an interview set during a virtual Wizard World panel with Wuhl, the producer of the 1989 Batman movie, Michael E. Uslan, revealed that he almost made a Luke Cage movie soon afterward. "Way back, right after our first Batman movie, I optioned the rights from Marvel to Luke Cage , Hero for Hire. This was when Marvel was mired. All they had was Captain America, and Fantastic Four, neither of which could be released theatrically. Marvel was in a mess."
