That's a mystery and certainly far from a guarantee. I would rather have seen his vision for the film however. <br /><br />Bryan:<br /><br />Corbijn, even though I haven't seen Control or his numerous music videos, I think could offer the right sort of pristine emotionalism to the material. Of course I could just say I think he'd offer any real perspective on the material unlike the non-entity that exists in its current state.

Also, ...Luke: Ah yes. Need to check that one out.<br /><br /><br />Also, this might sound a bit weird, but I honestly feel that this film wasn't directed by ANYONE, and not just because the producers are now trying to pretend Alan Smithee was at the helm. The direction for this film was as cookie-cutter and bland as it gets. Every beat you see in these types of films was hit in the exact way you'd expect and I think the direction actually weakened the already thinly-written screenplay. I'd be even more negative, but there's some amusement to be had in the Live Aid scenes at least.<br /><br />Okay, rant over.Bryan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11734763991830926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-87268915721509059132019-01-30T17:04:28.835-05:002019-01-30T17:04:28.835-05:00Bryan: He's got experience with Control (2007)...Bryan: He's got experience with Control (2007) for one thing.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-8165852459615749292019-01-30T17:02:39.136-05:002019-01-30T17:02:39.136-05:00Louis: Your reasons for Corbijn as director for a ...Louis: Your reasons for Corbijn as director for a better version of this film?Bryan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11734763991830926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-83286765354572757462019-01-30T17:02:29.338-05:002019-01-30T17:02:29.338-05:00I would still give Cooper a five although he would...I would still give Cooper a five although he wouldn't be top 5 anymore either.Charles Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702365476332792775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-84973800645642265942019-01-30T17:01:24.297-05:002019-01-30T17:01:24.297-05:00To be honest, I don't think Sacha Baron Cohen ...To be honest, I don't think Sacha Baron Cohen would've been a surefire great thing either, though the film he wanted to go for did sound a lot more interesting. I could imagine him going way too broad, frankly. <br /><br />I also remember Ben Whishaw was also cast for awhile. Would be weird imagining him - I actually think he could've easily nailed the mannerisms, and possibly might've given an even better performance (Freddie does seem very attuned to his sensibilities as an actor)...but he might not have clashed with Singer/the makeup might've been more distracting etc. Calvin Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392068349392739631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-43359372726721527672019-01-30T17:01:05.537-05:002019-01-30T17:01:05.537-05:00Louis: What would be your cast for a 2000/10s Mara...Louis: What would be your cast for a 2000/10s Marauders film (Wizarding World).

The direction of the scene is a bit over the top from the use of music, and the slow motion. <br /><br />Not to scare you, but Gaga is a four for me. Full disclosure the first time I watched the film I came in about 10 minutes late, and missed her bathroom scene. I thought that was the worst kind of "I'm acting" acting from her. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />I think either one could have potentially delivered a stronger turn, not that I think Garson is terrible in the role or anything to begin with. <br /><br />The Sea Wolf is some impeccable work from him as he directs the film as almost this sea noir, or horror film in a way. He creates a real atmosphere in the way he creates the environment on the ship which has this constant haunting quality in it, making the passengers feel as though they are the damned. There is an eerie quality to every scene that really offers an additional power beyond the already strong script.<br /><br />For the Unsuspected, he and Rains are the only thing trying to make that film work. He gives the film a real shadowy atmosphere in his choices to again to really induce the fear in every setting, and every shadow being so vibrant. Although the story never comes to life due to the weakness in conception, Curtiz does everything he can to enliven it with the lurid detail he grants what is there. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Well great deal, is different from "great". I also will admit I was probably overjoyed at the fact that it wasn't terrible.
