  1. Andrew Niccol – „Seelen“ (2013)

    Schon wieder ist hier der Körper einer Frau der Austragungsort eines Kampfes um Kontrolle. Hier geht es um ihre Identität als etwas, das verwaltet, überschrieben und optimiert werden kann. Und weil es ein Science-Fiction von Andrew Niccol ist, ist „Gattaca“ dafür natürlich die Referenz. Und so wirkt er auch wie eine weichere, emotional aufgeladene Variante desselben Gedankengebäudes. Nur eben nicht mehr über genetische Selektion, sondern parasitäre Übernahme durch Aliens. Mit Saoirse Ronan, William Hurt und Diane Kruger. (ZDF, Wh.)

  8. Robert De Niro – „Der gute Hirte“ (2006)

    Robert De Niro, in einem seiner seltenen Filme als Regisseur, erzählt hier die Entstehung der CIA. Und das nicht als Hochspannungs-Thriller, sondern als ernüchternde Herkunftsgeschichte einer emotional verarmten Supermacht. Hier gibt es keine coolen Gadgets, keine One-Liner, keine Heldenposen. Nur Männer in grauen Anzügen, die lernen, nichts zu fühlen – und das für Professionalität halten. Mit Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Martina Gedeck, Joe Pesci und William Hurt. (ZDFneo, Neu)

  10. Cycle 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠 (6/12) : « A History of Violence » ne raconte pas simplement que la barbarie n'est jamais très loin. Elle est au plus proche. Elle fait mouche. Elle est en nous. Elle fait nous. La civilisation n'est que sa camisole de force, dont il fallait encore défaire toutes les coutures dans un film qui ébroue d'autant plus que sa facture est classique.

  12. #OnThisDay in 2022, #WilliamHurt, American Academy Award-winning #actor (Big Chill; Children of a Lesser God; Kiss of the Spider Woman; Broadcast News), died of prostate cancer at 71. 🥀🕯️
    #RIP

  13. Thanks to @cinefeast33.bsky.social I watched #Bodyheat, an erotic #noir #thriller. I don't think I'd seen it before. The #movie delivers what the title promises, #KathleenTurner and #WilliamHurt are great. A wonderfully dark story.... #filmsky #movies #goodstuff

  14. On this day in 2058, the United Global Space Force repels an attack by the Global Sedition, a mutant terrorist group, attack the hypergate in Earth's orbit.

    Also, the line “Every school child has been lied to. Recycling technologies came too late. All fossil fuels are virtually exhausted. The ozone layer is down to 40%. In two decades, the Earth will be unable to support human life." seems especially ominous now.

  16. Today I’m watching “The Doctor” (1991), #230 on the D23 list of theatrically-released feature films made by The Walt Disney Company (released under Touchstone brand).

    I’m viewing all 800+ films IN ORDER on Disney+ or elsewhere.

    When a self-centered doctor is diagnosed with cancer, he becomes better able to empathize with his patients and appreciate a life outside his career.

  17. #LivTyler is returning to the #MCU in #CaptainAmericaNewWorldOrder, reprising her role of Betty Ross, which she first played 15 years ago in #TheIncredibleHulk. Betty is the daughter of General Thaddeus Ross, who will now be played by #HarrisonFord, stepping into the role originally played by the late #WilliamHurt. #movies #Marvel #MarvelStudios

  18. It would be a real sight to see an early development of the character(s), prior to what was already shown. Including some fresh faces to play the character roles of both Earl and Marshall.

    Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

    Altered States (1980)

    You’ll immediately recognize Chayefsky’s style in this dialogue-heavy story. The characters and dialogue feel very much like Network (1976) or The Hospital (1971). The target audience was well-educated baby-boomers from the 60’s counter culture, sometimes referred to as “yuppies” (young urban professionals, formerly hippies). However, it has a lot of special effects and enough action to appeal to a wider audience.

    This period in American popular history marked the transition from the drug culture of the 1960s and the fascination with ESP in the 1970s, to the human potential movement of the 80s and 90s. Drug dealers were looking for more affluent customers for their products and clandestine operators were looking for paths to apply chemical-based mind control and recruitment tactics to more influential targets. This film provided a more intellectual rational for taking drugs, which would attract those who would normally be smart enough to avoid them.

    Although there was fierce conflict on the set between Chayefsky and the director, Ken Russell, about the script, Chayefsky maintained creative control (although he pulled his name from the screenplay credit because he was not satisfied with the final product). Despite the script conflicts and Russell’s direction, I think the film turned out great. It has brilliant performances from William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban and Charles Haid, all of whom delivered Chayefsky’s difficult dialogue in a convincing manner.

    There are no CG effects in this film because they weren’t yet available; everything is done with practical FX and film techniques, reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Also, you’ll notice the use of deep brass horns in the score, borrowed from Close Encounters of a Third Kind (1977) and used ever since in scifi projects such as Epoch (2001), Inception (2010), Arrival (2016) and many others.
