Renny Harlin's Deep Water

Aaron Eckhart starting to make a career out of being co-pilot on planes that make emergency water landings.

I get it. He kind of has that Jacob van Zanten look about him

Interesting this is barely coming out as I saw the film a year ago. I found that even at 90 minutes this film was a slog with no thesis or point. It’s a series of documented incidents of animal abuse, some pointless CGI, and nostalgic graphics with a veneer of icy, emotionlessness as a veneer of art to disguise how hollow it is. Has relatively little to say about anything, let alone the fascinating subject matter it’s actually about. Narrated by Chloe Sevigney to give it street cred.

So......In Bruges in Latin America, with American actors??

I wouldn't be surprised the success of One Battle or Another & The Secret Agent spurs a wave of political comedy action dramas set in the 60s or 70s.

How about Latin American-set modern quasi-political comedies perhaps inspired by the '70s or '80s? I wonder if the Fabio-drenched drug lord in Peter Farrelly's Balls Up (NSFW)(and: sorry) might be heir to Richard Libertini's General in The In-Laws or Alfonso Arau's Bellmaker in Romancing the Stone.

Wayward Pines, until that part

Hoping the J.J. Abrams imprimatur doesn't overwhelm this.

Good for you for staying blind until now, that’s all I’ve known about this since it was first announced and that was the rumor. I’m excited, it checks a lot of boxes already (DRM, Annie, the lead of My Old Ass, Twilight Zone premises shot by Mike Gioulakis, etc.). I just hope Mitchell found room to make this about another R.E.M. album.

Olivier Assayas' The Wizard of the Kremlin. Paul Dano, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander.

Makoto Nagahisa's Burn

Very striking trailer, hopefully the whole film is this mesmerising.
