A different take though in terms of being a survival, potentially one man show, however Coens have shown their capability within different genres/tones, so I'd certainly take it. <br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />Seems legitimate as the 63 date lines up with Berlin Film Festival date for that year. Will update when I get back to 64. <br /><br />Hopefully with a punchier script however:<br /><br />Janusz: Joe Cole<br />Mr. Smith: Viggo Mortensen<br />Irena: Thomasin McKenzie<br />Valka: Robert Pattinson<br />Andrei: Tobias Menzies<br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />A very much getting into its element episode, even if unfollowed up dynamics, though used for great comedy of George's discomfort/arousal throughout, and most notably just the ending shot of the three's "interest" that is hilarious all by its own. <br /><br />Tahmeed:<br /><br />Just a downright hilarious, and extremely simple but perfection type of bit. This with the sheer confidence in Charlie as he explains his routine ending on putting on the "coors" side. <br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Well will reiterate the collaborative process, as any member of a film crew can be essential and add to the final product. The idea of the unique vision that drives it though, between those two, is unquestionably the auteur theory however. I will say though this in part has to deal with the nature of how films are made, and in most instances a director is able to more easily cultivate power than a screenwriter is. The trademark of the vision is sharing traits between films, which is more often within the director, partially also as film is a visual medium, that language of the unsaid is as essential as the words on the page. Spielberg/Scorsese are rarely screenwriters, yet their vision can be found within every one of their films, no matter what screenwriter they're working with. There are "auteur" screenwriters, just as there even "auteur" actors (Tom Cruise, for example), but these are far rarer than the directors, and usually these screenwriters attempting directing at some point. For example, one of the most obvious recent examples is Aaron Sorkin, who has a distinct voice in almost all of his material, however even that the auteur director David Fincher, has as much of an influence on The Social Network. In that one can as easily identify it as a Fincher film, as a Sorkin film, in fact maybe even the former as part of Fincher's contribution was the reduction of Sorkin's trademark excesses. It is no surprise however that Sorkin has turned to directing his scripts. There are a few example of the screenwriter vision traveling from project to projects, but it is far more common for that overarching quality to forgotten, particularly in favor of the directors whose vision carries from each of their projects.

I think its an excellent game that makes its Western setting feel so lived in, its characters so vividly realized, and its game play engaging at almost every turn. The dialogue and voice acting is also superb, and in some ways, it helps that the voice cast doesn't have that many "recognizable names" in it ala Christopher Plummer in "Skyrim".

For myself it would be:<br /><br />Joel - Josh Brolin (I mean, he's played a number of Texans before, he's of the right age, and we know he can play grizzled trauma - this really is a perfect choice, I my opinion.)<br /><br />Ellie - Well its a little less obvious, but I could see Hailee Steinfeld or Elle Fanning in the part (Ideally you'd want an actual teenager, though).<br /><br />Tommy - Anson Mount?<br /><br />Marlene - Naomie Harris<br /><br />Tess - Now, I got the impression from the game that Tess was notably younger than Joel, so if we we're doing that, Mary Elizabeth Winstead would be an easy choice. If she's the same age, then Carrie Anne Moss.<br /><br />Bill - W. Earl Brown is already the perfect choice<br /><br />Henry - Lakeith Stanfield<br /><br />Sam - Not sure. Again, you would need an actual teenager for this one, not some 20 year old pretending to be 13.<br /><br />David - John Hawkes (No question, since I could swear they used his "Winter's Bone" appearance as an inspiration for the character.Mitchell Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054562644509043086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-65379803073454989742020-03-06T07:55:14.092-05:002020-03-06T07:55:14.092-05:00Glad its not a film, now I don't have to see i...Glad its not a film, now I don't have to see it lol.RatedRStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628534290463165790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-31364171065385637042020-03-06T07:29:07.886-05:002020-03-06T07:29:07.886-05:00So, The Last of Us is getting an HBO live action a...So, The Last of Us is getting an HBO live action adaptation.
