"We captured all the vocals live – and you get that immediacy that you see through the camera." Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled a behind-the-scenes featurette for Carmen, which is now showing in select theaters around the country. The film is renowned dancer / choreographer Benjamin Millepied's directorial debut, reimagining the classic opera for the big screen. An exhilarating vision starring Melissa Barrera and Paul Mescal. Carmen is a gritty modern day story with a majestic score, and dance sequences that evoke magic realism. It also features all new music created by the wonderfully talented composer Nicholas Britell. The film also co-stars Rossy de Palma, Elsa Pataky, Nicole da Silva, Tara Morice, Benedict Hardie, Richard Brancatisano, and Kaan Guldur. This featurette focuses specifically on the music - including conversations with Nicholas Britell, lyricist Julieta Venegas, the director, and other crew involved on the film. Maybe this will convince a few more...

"These feet know how to dance. They're butterflies." Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the main trailer for Carmen, which first premiered at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival last year. We featured a teaser just a few weeks ago for this, with a release date set for late April. This is renowned dancer / choreographer Benjamin Millepied's feature directorial debut, re-telling the opera for the big screen. Not to be confused with other recent film also titled Carmen from Malta. A modern-day reimagining of the classical opera "Carmen" – an exhilarating vision starring Melissa Barrera and Paul Mescal. Carmen is a gritty modern day tale, with a majestic score, and dream-like dance sequences that evoke magic realism.

"He yearns for the tears of our eyes. His heart pumps sand through his veins, not blood. Anything, that he might taste life again."

Dir: George Miller. Starring: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Alyla Browne, Aamito Lagum, Burcu Gölgedar, Matteo Bocelli, Kaan Guldur, Jack Braddy. 15, 108 minutes.
When Mad Max: Fury Road was released in 2015, it wasn’t merely a revelation – it was a revolution. In an era rife with mind-numbing franchise work, George Miller delivered a feature-length, dystopian car chase that slammed its foot on the pedal and never relented, all while unspooling a rich fable about women’s emancipation from under the boot of environmental collapse. The film found itself at the centre of many a fevered discussion about what cinema can look like at its most creatively liberated and immersive. Though Miller’s follow-up, Three Thousand Years of Longing, is an entirely different breed of film – a romantic fantasy about a djinn and the woman he’s magically bound to – its interest in the restorative power of storytelling follows in the same tradition.

While attending a conference in Istanbul, Dr. Alithea Binnie happens to encounter a djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems: first, she doubts that he’s real, and second, because she’s a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually, she’s beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.

"I'm beginning to think I'm in the presence of a trickster." MGM has debuted another new 70-second trailer for the new George Miller movie titled Three Thousand Years of Longing, which will be playing in theaters exclusively at the end of August. This is more of a promo spot announcing that "tickets are on sale" for this epic romance. The movie premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival a few months ago.

If you've been waiting for Game of Thrones hottie Khal Drogo to get his own movie, then you're in luck. The gorgeous Jason Momoa will be starring as Atlantean hero Arthur Curry in the upcoming Aquaman movie, set to premiere at the end of this year. Better yet, the film will be an origin movie, showing young Arthur as a nine-year-old (to be played by Kaan Guldur) and a 13-year-old (to be played by Otis Dhanji). Not only were these mini Momoas perfectly cast, the two young Australian actors are already seasoned performers themselves.
Guldur (above) just finished filming Fighting Season, a six-part Australian drama mini-series in which Guldur stars as Callum Collins. Guldur also lent his voice to The Lego Ninjago Movie and appeared in a short film called Red Ink. Aquaman will be Guldur's first foray into DC's live action universe, as well as his first major live-action film.

In what is shaping up to be a busy, busy week for Aquaman – and the overall Dceu, it seems – Warner Bros. has premiered a suitably epic poster for James Wan’s maritime adventure.
Arriving on the eve of San Diego Comic-Con, this crowded one-sheet is perhaps the perfect primer for Aquaman‘s maiden trailer, which is expected to hit the interwebs later this week – Saturday, to be precise, when Warner Bros. plans to occupy Hall H and shed light on both Aquaman and its cinematic next of kin, Shazam!
The former is shaping up to be an underwater epic the likes of which we’ve never seen before – part Star Wars, part Avatar, Aquaman‘s visual effects appear to be worth the price of admission alone. But at the heart of James Wan’s DC spinoff is a family epic involving Arthur Curry, Mera (Amber Heard), Orm (Patrick Wilson) and...

With San Diego Comic-Con looming large on the horizon – July 14th is the date for your diaries – comic book fans are currently gearing up for the annual deluge of tantalizing news and megaton announcements. Justice League, Thor: Ragnarok, and the newly-titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom are expected to be in attendance next month, while there’s also the small matter of James Wan’s standalone Aquaman movie.
Currently lensing Down Under in anticipation of its launch in December 2018, there’s a crackle of excitement swirling around Wan’s spinoff, which can largely be attributed to the A-list talent on board – both behind the lens, and in front. Of course, Jason Momoa’s King of the Seven will be the one to anchor the story, and if a report from The Aquaman Shrine is to be believed, it would seem Will Beall’s original screenplay has made room for numerous flashback scenes involving the young Arthur Curry and the history of Atlanta.
Otis Dhanji has already been cast as the 13-year-old Arthur, but we now have word that Kaan Guldur (Red Ink, The Lego Ninjago Movie) has climbed aboard to play Arthur Curry at the age of nine. More than anything else, Guldur’s purported casting is further evidence that Warner’s Aquaman film will mine inspiration from Geoff Johns New 52 comic book run, and we’re fascinated to see how the final product pans out. Wonder Woman is living proof that the DC Extended Universe isn’t doomed after all, so here’s hoping that momentum carries over to both Justice League and Aquaman in due time.
Meanwhile, here’s that report of Kaan Guldur’s casting, via Twitter:

It is, in the words of James Wan, a classic swashbuckling adventure, and though Aquaman was originally scheduled for launch in July of 2018, the Jason Momoa-fronted solo movie will now bow on December 21st, 2018.
