Star studded cast kicks off first look

The first teaser trailer Warner Bros. just released for the upcoming drama highlights a truly star-studded ensemble cast. Although the video clip below doesn’t give audience much of a taste of what the movie will be about, we do get to see the stars that include: Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta, Kieran Culkin, Brendan Fraser, Noah Jupe, Julia Fox and Amy Seimetz.

The new crime thriller will first premiere at Tribeca and shortly after be released onto the HBO Max streaming platform, written by Ed Solomon that brought us “Bill and Ted“. The film is also directed by Steven Soderbergh, who is responsible for numerous hit movies including: “Ocean’s Eleven“, “Erin Brockovich“, “Traffic”, “The Informant! ” with Matt Damon, “The Laundromat” and so many others. 

The film is set in the 1950’s Detroit and centers on a group of small-time criminals that are brought together to steal what they thought was just a simple document. Inevitably the plan goes down horribly wrong and now the group is set out to search for who hired them in order to discover the real purpose of whats going on. 

With the annual Tribeca Film Festival just a few weeks away, the 12-day outdoor celebration will be held June 9 through June 20 and will be one of the first major festivals within North America to hold such a large in-person event coming out of the pandemic. 

Soderbergh in a statement, “A year ago I was on lockdown in Tribeca,” and continued “So I never imagined we could return 12 months later with a new movie screening for a live audience in our neighborhood.  I’m VERY happy.”

“No Sudden Move” is currently scheduled to premiere at Tribeca on June 18th and will be then be released to stream on HBO Max in the U.S. starting July 1st. Watch the teaser trailer below:

Building accolades as Oscar season approaches

A relatively low budget film without big marketing mojo is getting added to prestigious best film of 2020 lists. First it was the AP critics, now the National Society of Film Critics has followed suit.

Also, as with the AP, “First Cow” was a runner up. “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” got a nod as well. 

The concept is sure to be relatable for many, as it deals with struggles to survive in hard economic times, and follows her journey and experience traveling across the American Heartland looking for ways to get back on her feet. 

The story is based on the book of the same title, telling a tale of darker side of the American economy, one where many low-cost labor pools have resulted in many transient older adults, Americans that have to be incredibly resilient and find creative ways in order to survive. 

The movie stars  Frances McDormand, who plays as a widow, unable to afford her home during the recession, sells her home and packs up all her necessities into her van.  There she embarks on journey through the American West, living in her van, as a modern-day, nomad, picking up seasonal work and relying on the compassion and generosity in her travels. Written, edited and produced by Chloe Zhao.

AP Names ‘First Cow’ and ‘Nomadland’ the best films of 2020

Although 2020 was not the best year for various things humans like and need (I’ll leave the rest to your imagination), films, it seems, were good, even great, nonetheless. 

Even amidst the challenges from a delayed, postponed or hindered production environment, some shows triumphed. The greater the struggle the more beautiful the butterfly, it would appear. 

Every year AP compiles lists of the best movies of the year and these are at the absolute top of the list:

First Cow:

Set in the early 19th century, in a settlement near Columbia River, what is now Oregon.  Two settlers, one a skillet cook, the other a Chinese immigrant partner up to make their fortune on the frontier.  Their success, depends on one valuable ingredient, the prized dairy cow that neither of them owns.  Jonathan Raymon wrote the script based on the novel “The Half-Life”, directed by Kelly Reichardt and stars: John Magaro and Orion Lee.

Time calls the film “song of this weird, rough-edged stretch of stolen land we call America, a place where tenderness is still the most precious commodity”

Nomadland:

Frances McDormand stars in the drama as a widow, unable to afford her home during the recession, sells her home and packs up all her necessities into her van.  There she embarks on journey through the American West, living in her van, as a modern-day, nomad, picking up seasonal work and relying on the compassion and generosity in her travels. Written, edited and produced by Chloé Zhao.

And rounding out the top ten:

3. “Mank”

4. “Dick Johnson Is Dead”

5. “Minari”

6. “David Byrne’s American Utopia”

7. “Never Rarely Sometimes Always”

8. “Soul”

9. “Collective”

10. “Sound of Metal”
