Stanley Kubrick: Celebs Rumors

Cannes Film Festival on Friday, Glazer’s disquieting essay-film takes place almost entirely in and around the comfortable, middle-class home of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, tackling both the banality and quiet domesticity of evil with eerie formal rigor.Viewed from afar, Rodolf (Christian Friedel) and Hedwig (Sandra Hüller) live an idyllic and unexceptional life. They’re happily married, upwardly mobile strivers, with faith in their government and hope for the future.

Jenna Ortega has revealed who her “dream character” would be to play from history.Speaking during an interview with fellow Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Catherine O’Hara in which they were asked to name their four favourite films, the Wednesday star shortlisted The Passion Of Joan Of Arc as one of them.The silent film, which was made in 1928, was directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer.“An actress that I love and it’s something that I’ve talked with Tim [Burton] a lot, The Passion Of Joan Of Arc, the Dreyer film,” Ortega said.“Renée Falconetti’s performance in that is absolutely insane. I feel like a dream character for me would be Joan Of Arc.”The other films she listed were French crime drama La Haine, Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon and the neo-Western road film Paris Texas, which starred late Alien actor Harry Dean Stanton.Meanwhile, Ortega and O’Hara also recently opened up about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice‘s big dance scene at the end featuring their characters Astrid and Delia.Opening up to NME about devising the moment, O’Hara explained that their moves were created by themselves, with the help of a choreographer.“You were the inspiration behind the performance art aspect of it,” Ortega then said of her co-star.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic The phrase “voice of a generation” gets thrown around a lot, but if that label were defined by sheer recognizability, it would be hard to find a better fit than James Earl Jones, who died Tuesday. The real question is: which generation? Depending on whether you were born before or after the year 1990, chances are good that the sound of Jones’ roll-of-thunder baritone instantly conjures one of two characters in your mind: “The Lion King” father Mufasa or “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “A Clockwork Orange” opens with Alex DeLarge and his fellow droogs breaking into a rich writer’s home and raping his wife, which would be bad enough if he weren’t crooning “Singin’ in the Rain” in the process. Half a century later, the scene seems no less appalling, given the way Stanley Kubrick made such ultraviolence look like fun for the demented kids who were doing it.

Leos being Leos, a few moments stand out as a glaring testament to the dramatic archetype of this fixed fire sign: Madonna’s 2012 Superbowl halftime performance; Napoleon Bonaparte every day of his life; Slash keeping a mountain lion as a pet; Kylie Jenner wearing a lion’s head; Mick Jagger marrying Bianca because she looked like him; Stanley Kubrick writing a 15-page manual for how to care for his pet cat; and Whitney Houston playing Brandy’s fairy godmother in a “Cinderella” adaptation. And now Jennifer Lopez has added a fresh crown jewel to that litter box by filing for divorce from Ben Affleck on what would have been their second wedding anniversary.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Trailers make “Fly Me to the Moon” look cute at best, when in fact it’s quite clever: a smarter-than-it-sounds, space-age sparring match of the Rock Hudson/Doris Day variety, in which the honest-to-a-fault NASA launch director responsible for sending Apollo 11 into orbit (a straight-faced Channing Tatum) goes head-to-head with a mendacious Madison Avenue spin doctor (Scarlett Johansson, delightfully wily). Set during the first half of 1969, director Greg Berlanti’s high-concept screwball comedy values chemistry over history, bending the facts to suggest a fresh set of stakes for the operation, where romance fuels a rocket to the moon.

actor Matthew Modine made a horrifying discovery on Amazon Prime. The platform seemingly had altered the iconic poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 war movie, “Full Metal Jacket,” starring Modine and Vincent D’Onofrio. The phrase “Born to Kill,” scribbled on a camo Marine helmet, was suddenly gone.The digital clean-up crew did however, keep the helmet’s peace sign; some delicate soul, it appeared, thought the words were too inflammatory to remain.

Matthew Modine, who starred in the 1987 Stanley Kubrick war comedy “Full Metal Jacket,” is outraged that Amazon changed the artwork on the platform’s landing page to rent the film. Modine, 65, took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam the streamer for tweaking the poster of the Oscar-nominated film. “Who decided to remove ‘BORN TO KILL?’’ Modine blasted Amazon in his tweet, adding, “Not only did they alter a piece of iconic art by Philip Castle, but they completely misunderstood the point of it being there.”On the movie’s original poster, there’s a war helmet with the words “Born to Kill” written on it.

The inaugural United States moon launch in 1969 is, of course, still highly contested by conspiracy theorists, and then there was that rumor for years that the moon launch was actually faked, and the great Stanley Kubrick was hired to direct it and make it look real and authentic. That idea forms the genesis for “Fly Me To The Moon,” a new comedy about the backup plan to fake the moon landing in case the actual space mission went awry.

When you get the opportunity to interview Rob Reiner and Albert Brooks together it is indeed a special occasion. And that is just what I got to do earlier this week when they joined me at our Deadline Studio for this episode of my Deadline video series, Behind The Lens. Reiner has directed and appears with Brooks in the ultimate documentary (Reiner’s first) on Brooks entitled Albert Brooks: Defending My Life which is available on HBO and MAX, and for fans of both it is a gem not to be missed. Our half hour conversation is not only hilarious in parts, but also eye-opening and full of some very surprising revelations.
