    Will Smith will play Nicky Barnes in Netflix's film The Council.

    The never-before-told story of a crime syndicate consisting of seven African-American men who ruled Harlem in the 1970s and early ’80s. No ordinary crime syndicate – the men dreamed of a self-sufficient and self-policing African American city-state, funded by revolutionizing the drug game.

    Will Smith seems to have a career resurgence, finally. He recently got his fist billion dollar film (Aladdin), and the first online reactions for Gemini Man are apparently very positive.

    Thanks for the info @DaltonCraig007! There were rumours some years ago that if there ever was to be a third OSS 117 film, it would be set in Africa. Looks like they've continued with that idea.

    Decent title that! Makes a nice addition to the first two: OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies and OSS 117: Lost in Rio.

    Both films are definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen them. :-)

    Director Paul Greengrass' new film, News of the World, gets an official release date: December 25, 2020.

    The film follows Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks), who five years after the end of the Civil War moves from town-to-town as a non-fiction storyteller, telling the news of presidents, queens, feuds and catastrophes. However, in Texas, he meets 10-year-old Johanna who was taken by the Kiowa tribe years ago and is now being returned to her aunt. Kidd agrees to deliver the child, and on their journey, they face human and natural challenges.

    https://www.thewrap.com/tom-hanks-news-of-the-world-gets-christmas-2020-release-date/

    This will be the 5th film with Tom Hanks as a captain, after Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Captain Phillips and Sully.

    The problem is De Niro doesn't look enough like young De Niro. Instead he looks like old De Niro with less wrinkles. They needed to alter the shape of his face further. It's a more delicate matter with him than it could be with other actors, given audiences have known him since he was young, so higher faithfulness to his real-life appearance is expected.

    Still, it's not that important. I bet when we watch the film we'll get used to it in some minutes. After all, if we considered the quality of SFX to be so crucial to a film, we'd have to come to the conclusion that many old films were bad.

    @mattjoes, I just think for a film with a $160 million budget, they could've done better than the character looking like someone out of a video game. Who knows, maybe it'll look better in motion. I'm still insanely excited either way, but that wasn't the best shot to release for marketing.

    Yes, @Creasy47, I was also expecting more than they appear to be delivering. I'm guessing these are not the same SFX people that did the rejuvenating for the Marvel films, which looks much better.

    I'm more worried about the notion that an elderly De Niro de-aged simply wouldn't play a 24 year version of himself with the same intensity that he would have when he was actually 24. This is one of the great possible flaws with this technology, imo. Age is not just a number.

    However, I do hope to be proved wrong.

    Out of Greengrass' films, I have only seen his Bourne films and Cpt Phillips, and I believe Green Zone features a similar visual style. It will be interesting to see how such a historical setting will look in a film by him.

    It was a bold undertaking from the beginning, if you compare the screentime of de-aged actors in those films.
    Oh how I would love a film with old actors simply being old badasses, without too many references to their age. I mean, did Charade make any reference at all to Grant's age?

    While it hasn't blunted my excitement for this film (nothing really could), that trailer is very generic.

    I don't really care that some will go in expecting Goodfellas and it doesn't deliver for them because I knew this film was never going to be that type of film but that trailer really sells it as just that.

    The reports from people who have seen this have made it clear this is not Goodfellas or Casino but that trailer is cut to make it look like that.

    The idea of Trailers being misleading is nothing new and most likely Netflix are behind this getting given this kind of feel.

    I just think at times this looks a lot more slick and fast paced than we have been led to believe. Scorcese and Schoonmaker and others have said this isn't that type of film.

    Still, utterly pumped to see it and hopefully on the big screen but that trailer doesn't represent the film we've been led to believe The Irishman is.

    Clint Eastwood filmed this in June/July of this year, and it's already being released this December. At 89 years of age, his work ethic commands respect.

    ----

    First reactions of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman praise 'an instant classic' and 'a masterpiece'.

    Audacious, epic, a film that feels like it spans lifetimes yet whisks by. Technically bold, performances raw and darkly humourous, it is the culmination of Scorsese's genre fascinations, and a late career triumph.

    A fitting homecoming for De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Scorsese’s ode to gangster cinema. Hilarious and sharply written. A portrait of mortality and legacy, told like a culmination of everything we have ever seen in this genre

    Think GOODFELLAS, but directed by the man who gave us SILENCE. A culmination, meditation and tribute to every Scorsese/De Niro/Pesci collaboration. And yet, Al Pacino towers over all of them with a funny, sad and haunting performance as Jimmy Hoffa.

    THE IRISHMAN is a masterwork. Funny, epic, and most of all, melancholy. It’s Scorsese confronting aging, legacies, and mortality.

    An instant Martin Scorsese crime classic that’s everything you want to be, and more. De Niro’s best work in ages, Pesci lights up the screen, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa screaming about the Kennedys is the peak of cinema!

    Nothing to worry about here and the reviews seem to confirm that trailer is somewhat misleading, Goodfellas from the director who gave us Silence.

    This comment really says it all, I was chomping at the bit for this now I'm litterally salivating and if it's the small screen I have to see it so be it, although if I can get to see this theatrically I most certainly will try.

    The Irishman currently sits at 100% on RottenTomatoes (average score of 8.88/10) and at 92/100 on MetaCritic.

    This makes it one of the most acclaimed films of 2019.

    Looks like a b-movie with Nic Cage in it that might or might not be entertaining. At least Cage doesn't seem bored.


    And, yeah, those early comments on The Irishman succeed in making me hungry too!

    I love Strathairn, the cast for this film is simply insane. Hopefully del Toro can deliver yet again after the fantastic The Shape Of Water.
