“What if Dean Martin got shrunken down and put inside Jerry Lewis?” That was writer Jeffrey Boam’s clever take on his comedy-fantasy rewrite of a straight spy-fi script conceived by producers who had seemingly never heard of Fantastic Voyage. It attracted director Joe Dante, looking to make a commercial hit after the box office failure of Explorers. But in the end, of course, it turned out to be just as wacky as his earlier stuff, and its most appreciative audience emerged a year later via home video. Ilm won an Oscar for its still impressive pre-cgi special effects.

Fantastic Voyage

Fantastic Voyage
The story of miniaturized medicos set adrift inside the body of an ailing Russian scientist, Richard Fleischer’s preposterously entertaining film has something for everybody, including enormous balloon-shaped sets and the balloon-shaped Raquel Welch in form-fitting scuba gear. Starring old guard Edmond O’Brien and chiseled ladies’ man Stephen Boyd, this high-tech Saturday matinee garnered unusually good reviews and plenty of action at the box office.

Trent Reznor covered David Bowie’s “Fantastic Voyage” and “Fashion” as part of the “Just for One Day” tribute livestream, which — after a one-day delay due to technical difficulties and Covid-19 restrictions — aired Saturday night, one day after what would have been the late icon’s 74th birthday.

The stripped-down rendition of Lodger’s “Fantastic Voyage” featured the Nine Inch Nails frontman alongside longtime collaborator Atticus Ross and Bowie keyboardist Mike Garson, who also hosted the event. On “Fashion,” the trio were joined by Reznor’s wife and How to

‘We Can Be Heroes’ Review: Robert Rodriguez’s Genial Homemade Kiddie Superhero Flick for Netflix
Robert Rodriguez famously made his first feature, “El Mariachi” (1993), for $7,000, and in the years since he’s made a point, rather charmingly, of staying in touch with that DIY side of himself. This first became apparent in the early 2000s, when he churned out three “Spy Kids” films in a row, working out of a home studio where he wrote, directed, edited, and shot these cheeky Bondian kiddie flicks with a gizmoid invention as airy and frictionless as the films’ homegrown FX — but in a way it all played as a sly poke at Hollywood becoming a big-budget toy factory. The joke still had a tinge of resonance in “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D” (2005), a superhero lark that had the benefit of coming out three years before “Iron Man” — that is, before the culture became so inundated with comic-book mythology that it began to wink at its own top-heavy escapism.

Flashback: David Bowie Plays ‘The Bewlay Brothers’ Live for the First Time Ever
In the newest chapter of our Unknown Legends interview series, Sterling Campbell looks back at his two-decade saga as David Bowie’s go-to drummer. They met in 1992 when Nile Rodgers brought Campbell into the studio to play on Black Tie White Noise, and he went on to play on 1995’s Outside, 1999’s Hours, 2002’s Heathen, 2003’s Reality, 2013’s The Next Day, and at every concert Bowie performed from 1999 to his final show in 2004.

Guillermo Del Toro Says He’ll Never Give Up On At The Mountains Of Madness

Guillermo Del Toro Says He’ll Never Give Up On At The Mountains Of Madness
Guillermo del Toro might be one of the most talented and recognizable filmmakers in the industry, but despite having picked up Academy Award wins for Best Picture and Best Director for his last movie The Shape of Water, not even someone with his standing in Hollywood can avoid the minefield of studio politics.

As well as spending years trying to finish his Hellboy trilogy to no avail, before the producers instead decided to reboot it with disastrous results, del Toro also came incredibly close to finally getting his other passion project off the ground. H.P. Lovecraft adaptation At the Mountains of Madness fits right in the director’s fantastical wheelhouse, but even with Tom Cruise attached to star and James Cameron set to produce, Universal were reluctant to part with the $150 million it would have cost to bring the story to life.

Quaid Pro Quo: The Best of Dennis Quaid

Today sees the DVD release of The Intruder, a new film in which Dennis Quaid plays the ex-owner of a house who doesn’t take too kindly to the new owners when he is forced to sell it. The psychological thriller was directed by Deon Taylor and written by David Loughery and gives Quaid the opportunity to terrify audiences with an intensity which marked out much of his best work. To that end Cai Ross looks back at some of his greatest roles.

For about 20 years, Dennis Quaid was Hollywood’s nearly-man. Following a break-out performance in Peter Yates’s wonderful cycling drama Breaking Away in 1979, it seemed that the world might just have found its new James Dean. Impressive performances in Walter Hill’s familial Western The Long Riders (alongside elder sibling Randy and a host of Keach and Carradine brothers) and Philip Kaufman’s epic space drama The Right Stuff,

Animest is ready for a record-breaking 14th edition - Animest 2019

The Bucharest-based gathering will kick off tonight with Marona’s Fantastic Voyage by Anca Damian. The Animest International Animation Film Festival, the most popular film festival in Bucharest, may be poised to become even more popular, as the organisers have prepared a record-breaking 14th edition (4-13 October), with “more” certainly serving as the keyword for this iteration. After the gala tonight, featuring Anca Damian’s Marona’s Fantastic Tale, the audience will have access, over the next ten days, to more films, more guests, more venues, more competitions and more events than they did at the previous editions. Several juries will evaluate the movies in as many as six competitions. To the traditional Feature, Short Film, Student Film, Romanian Shorts and Music Video Competitions, this year, the festival is adding the Vr Competition, officially recognising the new technology as a future staple of animation.

Quentin Tarantino on the Movies and Stars That Inspired ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’

Quentin Tarantino on the Movies and Stars That Inspired ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’
“We can have a real ’60s summer here, setting up for it,” said Quentin Tarantino as he settled in for a nearly three-hour conversation about his July programming at his New Beverly Cinema, a survey of the 1960s films that inspired his forthcoming “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The movie is Tarantino’s love letter to the filmmaking era that made him fall in love with cinema as a kid. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie, and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year to considerable acclaim. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” opens in theaters on July 26.

“I did that ’60s kinda thing, but now I wanted to get more into the interior of the Hollywood that this movie is discussing,” Tarantino told Pure Cinema Podcast hosts Elric Kane and Brian Saur. Setting up “Hollywood,” he explains that DiCaprio plays an actor named Rick Dalton,

Quentin Tarantino Discusses the Films to See Before ‘Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood’ in 3-Hour Conversation

We’ve entered July, which means it is the month of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In… Hollywood. While we’re still waiting if the director re-edits some of the film as he hinted while at Cannes, as well as the full list of theaters that will present it in 35mm, the press tour is gearing up again, which gave the director an opportunity to reconfirm his retirement from feature filmmaking after his Hollywood follow-up–or maybe sooner.

“I think when it comes to theatrical movies, I’ve come to the end of the road. I see myself writing books and starting to write theatre, so I’ll still be creative. I just think I’ve given all I have to give to movies,” he tells GQ Australia. He added, “If it’s really well received, maybe I won’t go to 10. Maybe I’ll stop right now!

Guillermo Del Toro to Direct Action-Thriller Zanbato for J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot

Guillermo Del Toro to Direct Action-Thriller Zanbato for J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot
Guillermo del Toro has lined up his next directorial project. The filmmaker behind The Shape of Water and Pacific Rim has signed on to write and direct Zanbato for J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company and Paramount. While it's not clear exactly which of del Toro's many projects will actually get the go-ahead after his Pinocchio movie for Netflix, this is something he's been planning for some time.

According to a new report, Zanbato will center on a younger female with formidable fighting skills that will be somewhere between the ages of 10 and 15, drawing comparisons to Hit-Girl or the lead in Alita: Battle Angel. While sources had described the character as a ninja, Guillermo del Toro took to Twitter to confirm the project himself, which he says has been in development for six years, while refuting that element of the report. Here's what he had to say about it.

Guillermo del Toro lists his many unproduced projects

If you’ve kept a close on eye the career of Guillermo del Toro over the past twenty-five years, you’ll be well aware that the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s list of unproduced projects outweighs his actual filmography, with many of his planned movies finding themselves stuck in development hell before fizzling out.

Posting on social media, del Toro has been reflecting on the time “lost” on these unrealised projects, producing a list that includes:

At the Mountains of Madness

Beauty and the Beast

The Buried Giant

The Coffin

The Count of Monte Cristo

Drood

Fantastic Voyage

Haunted Mansion

The Hulk (TV pilot)

Justice League Dark

List of 7

Mephisto’s Bridge

Nightmare Alley

Pacific Rim 2 (a ‘very different’ version)

Superstitious

Wind in the Willows

The Witches

Del Toro goes on to reveal the above projects had all progressed as far through development as to have a completed script at the very least,

Guillermo Del Toro Says He Finished His Justice League Dark Script Before Exiting

Whenever anyone assembles articles or videos featuring lists that fire off “DC movies that didn’t make it to the finish line” these days, it’d be in their best interest to include Justice League Dark. It may be a niche title, sure, but who would’ve figured Guardians of the Galaxy to be such a hit for Marvel if you told them before the “A-holes” had a film of their own?

If you’re familiar with the situation, then you remember how we all thought this flick uniting heroes from the darker corners of the DC Universe to be a near certainty several years back when acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro had been enlisted to helm the thing. Unfortunately, he moved on to other projects before his replacement, Doug Liman, was brought aboard and later bounced due to his own reasons.

Guillermo del Toro Lists All of His Completed Unproduced Screenplays

Over the years, director Guillermo del Toro has been attached to several projects that never saw the light of day. A lot of these projects came and went and the fans have been excited about a lot of them.

Del Toro recently took to Twitter to share a list of all of the completed unproduced screenplays that he worked on and shared his feelings on how these scripts represent more than a decade of work that he put into developing them and how all of that work is now lost.

It’s actually pretty sad to see all of these exciting projects currently dead or in limbo. Of course, this is just a fraction of the kinds of film projects that have been lost in Hollywood over the years. Every filmmaker has projects they wanted to make that never got the greenlight.

Check out Del Toro’s tweets below:

Guillermo del Toro Lists His 18 Unproduced Scripts – Among Them ‘Justice League Dark’ and ‘Hulk’ TV Pilot

Guillermo del Toro Lists His 18 Unproduced Scripts – Among Them ‘Justice League Dark’ and ‘Hulk’ TV Pilot
It sounds like even Guillermo del Toro, a two-time Oscar winner for “The Shape of Water,” has trouble getting some of his movies made: He tweeted a list of 17 films he says he has ready to go, including “Justice League Dark.”

His list, which also includes a TV pilot for Marvel’s The Hulk, includes projects that are “developed, fully written or co-written” but “have gone unproduced (so far).”

They aren’t just passion projects. Besides “Justice League Dark,” which is a, well, darker take on the DC super-team, he also has versions of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” and “Haunted Mansion,” and a remake of “Fantastic Voyage.”

Guillermo del Toro Reveals 17 Completed Scripts Never Turned Into Films
Guillermo del Toro is starting work on his stop-motion “Pinocchio” at Netflix after years of trying to get the project made, but the title is hardly the only del Toro script that has been put on the back burner over the years. The “Hellboy” and “Pan’s Labyrinth” director took to social media on November 26 to reveal a master list of all the completed film scripts he has written or co-written that have yet to be made into feature movies.

The list of del Toro’s unmade film scripts include: “The Witches,” “Justice League Dark,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “At the Mountains of Madness,” “Fantastic Voyage,” “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Mephisto’s Bridge,” “Pacific Rim 2,” “Secret Project (Untitled),” “Superstitious,” “Nightmare Alley,” “Haunted Mansion,” “The Buried Giant,” “The Coffin,” “Drood,” “List of 7” (co-written with Mark Frost), and “Wind in the Willows.”

’22 July’: A Troubled Paul Greengrass Says “The World Is Unmoored At The Moment”

Having turned the Jason Bourne series into a billion-dollar franchise that’s now spinning-off into television, Academy Award-nominated director Paul Greengrass can pretty much make whatever he likes. He’ll get offered things like a James Cameron-produced sci-fi film (“Fantastic Voyage” which he turned down) and consider a serial killer procedural crime film (“Torso“; not happening any longer), but given the agitated state of the world, the filmmaker instead decided to make to “22 July,” a drama about the infamous 2011 domestic terrorist attack in Norway by a lone wolf gunman who shot up a summer camp full of kids in protest of elites, Islam and immigration.

EOne Set To Finance & Distribute Ryan Prows-Directed ‘Night Patrol’

Exclusive: Entertainment One will finance and control worldwide distribution on Night Patrol, a high concept genre film that Ryan Prows will direct from a script he wrote with Shaye Ogbonna, Tim Cairo and Jake Gibson. David Goyer and Keith Levine will produce and Sierra/Affinity will handle international rights outside of eOne territories.

In Night Patrol, an African-American Lapd officer must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.

Prows, Ogbonna, Cairo and Gibson previously teamed on Lowlife, which Prows directed. That film premiered at Montreal’s Fantasia Fest last year and was released by IFC Midnight in April. Prows made the jump to feature after winning a Student Academy Award for his film, Narcocorrido, which he has since been developing into a feature.
