I heard of a Tamil - yes Tamil - film where the they were going to keep the camera frame fixed (a mirror apparently) and it would capture the going-ons.
Wondered how they could sustain for a feature length film. And I don't think the film saw the light of day :lol:
But in waeld cinema- have such things been tried?
Very nice thread. But arambicha pavattunAla, you got to get links.
Scorcese - shitload of projects announced with his name. That Irish gangster flick with De Niro?
Thunderball, based on script by Fleming and Jack Whittingham (that led to lawsuit and possibly Fleming's early death).
Casino Royale, straight forward adaptation by the producer Charles Feldman in 67.
Post 1978 Superman, Batman (thank god it didn't happen).
F_R,
Yes, from Lumiere brothers to James Benning. :lol2:
Spielberg offered to do Bond (before Lucas convinced him to do Raiders).
Speaking of which...
...Tom Sellect as Indiana Jones...
...Brosnan as Bond 1987...
...young punk Dalton as Bond in 1969...
...Cary Grant as Bond 1962 (confirm except he didn't want multi-film contract)...
James Cameroon Spiderman movie (90s, with Arnie as Doc Ock).
The long opening take of Leone's Stalingrad (narrated in one of the DVD extras by his acquaintance) is absolutely mesmeric to even think of. De niro was to act, I think.
Nicholson as Kubrick's Napolean however takes the cake! And Kubrick's design for the war scenes was mindblowing, based on his interviews!
Apparently, Elmore Leonard sent Hitchcock a copy of 'Unknown man #89'. :shock: :boo:
Brando - Wounded Knee massacre.
All that you mentioned, except the Hitch one, would have been awesome. The Leonard book is not for Hitch, no way.
Good thread. My knowledge is limited to contribute.
Kid, Interested in a related spun off thread like an actor missing out a particular role in a particular film, like Will Smith offered Neo's role in Matrix. Would love to know who missed what in their careers.
