Over the course of Le Week-end
Watch Gravity Online From the “Uh, no shit” department comes today’s top headline: Marc Forster reportedly will not be back in the director’s chair if and when a World War Z sequel goes into production. The nugget is buried in a puff-piece cover story The Hollywood Reporter wrote on Brad Pitt and his production company, Plan B Entertainment, as they prepare to open Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave following a very successful film-festival run. The trade officially writes: Plan B also is developing a sequel to Z, which still is in its nascent stages, though director Marc Forster won't be back. ‘We are talking about it,’ says Pitt. ‘We are going to investigate a script. We have a lot of ideas we will cull from. Nobody is writing just yet, but we are compiling our ideas.’”
Watch Prisoners Online So no official quote on Forster’s status in the sequel. Just the confirmation of what we all believed: That despite the surprising success of the finished product, Pitt and Forster simply locked horns too many times for Paramount or the A-list star to ever consider bringing him back. The on-set conflict became one of many running narratives as Word War Z worked its way to theaters. Co-writer Damon Lindelof gave an in-depth, blow-by-blow account of the chaos caused by the Pitt-Forster rift. (Read this and this if you need to catch up.) Of course, both played nice on the red carpets of the film’s various premieres, with Forster even saying at one point that if they continue the story, he’d like to listen to offers and possibly be a part.
Watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Online Apparently we’re not going to get to that point. From the “Uh, no shit” department comes today’s top headline: Marc Forster reportedly will not be back in the director’s chair if and when a World War Z sequel goes into production. Le Week-End makes its US debut at the New York Film Festival on September 29th. A second screening will follow on October 7th. A limited release in the US will begin on February 14th, 2014.

Watch Rush Online So no official quote on Forster’s status in the sequel. Just the confirmation of what we all believed: That despite the surprising success of the finished product, Pitt and Forster simply locked horns too many times for Paramount or the A-list star to ever consider bringing him back. Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity opens in sneak previews tonight and everywhere tomorrow, and as you might have heard, we're pretty crazy about it. Cuaron's technical wizardry, which creates the actual feeling that you are somehow floating in space, is the big sell, but the performances from Sandra Bullock and George Clooney elevate the film to some surprisingly emotional highs. Sure, they were cast partly because they're big names who can draw audiences, but they add a key human component to what could have just been a special effects extravaganza.
Watch Don Jon Online But, until not all that long before production began, neither of them was going to be involved in the film at all. If you're a fan of Cuaron from films like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Children of Men you may have been following the long development of Gravity, and the many actors who attached their names to it, but if all you know is the posters featuring Sandra Bullock in a space helmet, time to catch up!
Watch Insidious Chapter 2 Online In the beginning, way back in 2010, Angelina Jolie was Cuaron's top pick to take the lead role of Dr. Ryan Stone. In our breathless reporting we said she had "bailed on Wanted 2" to make it happen, which is hilarious because Wanted 2 is seriously never going to happen no matter what they say and Jolie had no business being in it anyway. At the time I also said Gravity "sounds a lot like Duncan Jones's Moon," and that "No, I seriously doubt this movie will manage to be better, despite my abundant love for Cuaron." Moon is still great, but hindsight proves me a major dolt on that one. Oh, and then Jolie bailed on the project after all.
Watch Baggage Claim Online As follow-up to Hyde Park on Hudson, director Roger Michell offers audiences a comedy that is bubbly yet bittersweet, peppered with scenes of enviable intimacy and moments of maiming resentment. As the film began, I instantly clung to Broadbent's devotedly doting Nick, whose desire to please his scowling wife is almost pathetic in its vulnerability. She by contrast seems a bully, shrugging off his kisses and taking any opportunity to tear him down, be it by rejection of his sexual advances or by mocking the way he smacks his lips while eating. However, as layer after layer of their history together is revealed, cause is given for her cruelty, forcing the audience to reconsider who to side with.
Over the course of Le Week-end, I switched my allegiance several times, and ultimately felt a bit overwhelmed by wanting the best for this pair but having no idea what that the best might be. The two undeniably share a deep love, but years of disappointments both personally and professionally have worn on their actual like of each other. All their issues come to a head at a posh dinner hosted by Nick’s old college friend Morgan (Jeff Goldblum in a scene-stealing role that brings an earnest electricity). Surrounded by chic socialites and affluent academics, this proves the perfect stage for the airing of ugly truths.
