Zack Sharf Digital News Director Legendary director Werner Herzog was asked by Piers Morgan on the latter’s “Uncensored” talk show to weigh in on the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon, but Herzog was no expert on the matter. The “Grizzly Man” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” filmmaker never got around to seeing Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic, and he seemed to be chilled to the bone after watching only 30 minutes of Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel comedy. “I have not seen ‘Oppenheimer’ yet, but I will do it.

There are a million sayings that go something like this—don’t talk about shit that you know nothing about. The same can be said in terms of film critique.

walked back his comments slamming “Barbie” star Ryan Gosling “for doing that s – – t for money.”Stone, 77, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he made those incendiary comments last year before seeing the box-office behemoth, which snared eight Oscar nominations Tuesday — including one for Gosling as Best Supporting Actor and America Ferrera as Best Supporting Actress and has grossed over $1.45 billion worldwide.“At the time, I was busy promoting my nuclear documentary in Europe [‘Nuclear Now’] and had little to no knowledge of the project beyond its title,” Stone wrote, regarding his nuking of Gosling and “Barbie.”He said he saw the film in July “and appreciated the film for its originality and its themes.”“I found the filmmaker’s approach certainly different than what I expected,” he said. “I apologize for speaking ignorantly.”He also praised “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig’s 2017 movie “Ladybird” as “one of my favorites of that year.”” ‘Barbie’s’ box office greatly boosted the morale of our business, which was welcome,” he said.

The Savages director said he made the remarks “before the film even came out” and while he was promoting his documentary Nuclear Now.

It doesn’t sound like Ryan Gosling and Oliver Stone are ever going to work together after these comments from the acclaimed director.

Oliver Stone has suggested that Ryan Gosling is “wasting his time” making films like Barbie.Gosling played the role of Ken in last year’s hit Greta Gerwig film, earning huge acclaim including a recent BAFTA nomination for Supporting Actor.However, Stone – who has helmed films such as Platoon and JFK – criticised the film in a resurfaced interview with City A.M. from last year, hitting out at a “ridiculous” joke suggestion from Mattel’s boss that he could direct a Barbie sequel.“Ryan Gosling is wasting his time if he’s doing that shit for money,” Stone added. “He should be doing more serious films. He shouldn’t be a part of this infantilization of Hollywood.“Now it’s all fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, including all the war pictures: fantasy, fantasy.

Oliver Stone has a lot of opinions about the current film industry and says movies like Barbie are contributing to the “infantilization of Hollywood.”

Riyadh-registered Middle East and North Africa integrated media group SRMG has announced the launch of Asharq Documentary, an Arabic language, free-to-air factual channel available on a variety of platforms.  

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Many reviews for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” pointed out the film felt like the director’s own version of Oliver Stone’s sprawling historical epic “JFK,” and now Stone himself has sounded off on Nolan’s latest achievement. The “Platoon” Oscar winner took to social media to deem Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” a new film classic, while also revealing he flirted with making his own film in the past about theoretical physicist and “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Not only has “Oppenheimer” been a massive hit with fans and critics, as well as earning a huge box office total so far, but we’ve already seen the likes of Paul Schrader call it the “best, most important film of this century.” The praise seems neverending. And now, we have Oliver Stone chiming in to say just how much he enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s latest epic.

JFK filmmaker Oliver Stone posted a series of tweets Tuesday praising Christopher Nolan’s latest film Oppenheimer during which he revealed he once turned down a project based around J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life because he couldn’t crack the narrative.

Veteran filmmaker Oliver Stone has voiced his regret for voting for President Joe Biden, saying he fears the US leader may take America into World War 3.

Will Tizard Contributor From auditioning for “every John Hughes movie that I never got in” to having Oliver Stone yell at her in a helicopter over her pronunciation of “’Nam,” Robin Wright confesses she’s seen Hollywood from all sides over the years. Speaking to admiring crowds at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where Wright is being honored with the festival president’s award, the actor-director-producer recalled a career that began at age 14 — which, in many ways, is really beginning to take off now. Of “The Princess Bride,” the beloved 1987 Rob Reiner sardonic fairytale, she said, “It was not a hit.” Of course, the film made up for low box office scores with VHS sales and is now considered a classic.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Two-time Oscar-winning editor Pietro Scalia will be honored by the Locarno Film Festival with its Vision Award honoring technical achievements and advancements in film. Scalia, who was born in Sicily but grew up in Switzerland and studied film at UCLA, has won Oscars for “JFK” and “Black Hawk Down.” Over the past two decades he’s collaborated closely with top directors such as Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Bernardo Bertolucci, Gus Van Sant, Rob Marshall, Sam Raimi and Michael Mann. His recent work includes Mann’s upcoming “Ferrari.” Scalia will receive the Locarno award on Aug. 3 during a ceremony on the Swiss fest’s 8,000-seat Piazza Grande, followed on Aug. 4 by an onstage conversation and screenings of two standout titles from his career: “Good Will Hunting” (1997) and “Black Hawk Down” (2001).

to Variety, Stone revealed that he recently watched Keanu Reeves’ film “John Wick 4” on a flight — and he wasn’t a fan.“Talk about volume,” he said. “I think the film is disgusting beyond belief. Disgusting.”“I don’t know what people are thinking,” he said of film producers and directors.“Maybe I was watching G.I.

Over the course of his career, Oliver Stone has been part of quite a few films where violence is plentiful. Whether it’s the fantasy world of “Conan the Barbarian,” horrific war in “Platoon,” or perhaps ‘80s Miami in “Scarface,” he’s a creator who has never shied away from the use of violence in a story.

Sophia Scorziello editor The man who directed a scene so bloody it was filmed in black and white to avoid an NC-17 rating has some qualms with violence in film. In an hourlong conversation at the Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino addressed some parts of his book “Cinema Speculation” and he teased his 10th and final film, “The Movie Critic.” As a serious grind-house fanatic, Tarantino discussed the place of violence in his own films and in classics like John Flynn’s “Rolling Thunder” and Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver.” On John Flynn’s “Rolling Thunder” “It was the movie that made me start taking myself seriously as a film critic,” Tarantino said of “Rolling Thunder.”

Christopher Vourlias When push comes to shove, the Transilvania Intl. Film Festival has always prided itself on pushing the envelope, preferring to err on the side of provocation where other fests might choose to play it safe. That mentality has been encoded into the fest’s DNA since its beginnings in the tumultuous post-Communist era, when civil liberties and artistic freedom were still far from guaranteed in the newly democratic Romania. Yet after a turbulent period of unprecedented disruption, brought on first by the coronavirus pandemic and then by the widespread humanitarian and economic crises spurred by Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine, even TIFF founder Tudor Giurgiu admits, “These were tough years.” The temptation might have been there to tinker with a formula that has made the festival such a success for the past two decades.
