Crazy level of action scenes.
The film that keeps roiling through my head -- and I know it won't have this level of futurism -- is Minority Report.

But I keep getting tripped up on Unforgiven, too: a film that turned a genre on its head while commenting on it.

Amid sightings of Leonardo DiCaprio and sounds of simulated gunfire being heard downtown, the Sacramento Film Office is issuing a notice that "a major motion picture" will continue production in the city this weekend.

According to the Sacramento Film Office, the production has blocked off Feb. 10 through 13, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., as filming hours. During those times, residents and workers in the area are being warned that they may hear or see scenes like "simulated gunfire, car chases, crashes and helicopter work."

Quote from: Find Your Magali on February 10, 2024, 09:44:27 AMThe LOOK of this film, exteriors at least, will almost certainly be gray skies, damp and gloomy, right? That's been the weather for almost every outside shoot that we've seen. Even saw one video of them additionally watering down a street prior to shooting a scene. Will be interesting to see how PTA works within this aesthetic.

I wonder if, aesthetically, the closest point of comparison will be Magnolia?

Sounds like they're in Sacramento until about the 20th.
Some local controversy over homeless encampments being cleared out by the city to accommodate the shoot.

*Cue the Joe Montana "Hey that's John Candy" Super Bowl story*

They shot indoors on Sunday, but were out in it on Monday. Heard they're back to Sac today (Tues).

Been wondering if the rain has been affecting the Cali shoot.

Have we heard any talk about when they're going to be leaving California and going to Texas/Mexico? Given how quickly everything is moving I wouldn't be surprised if they were heading off within a week.

PTA's been prepping this since 2019!?!?!

Taken from Goodbye, Hollywood! Production Wraps on Filming in Humboldt County

edit. wilberfan - just saw you posted this in the pta reddit, not biting i swear

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that he had a project that was pretty far along pre-COVID, and he temporarily shelved it and pivoted to Licorice Pizza as an easier thing to tackle during the pandemic. It will be interesting down the road to hear PTA talk about how his vision for this new film evolved, how much rewriting he did, perhaps given changes in the world and in his outlook between 2018 and 2024. Has the tone he envisioned for this evolved?

I'm pretty sure Licorice Pizza was announced pre covid though? Like December 2019?

Yeah, we saw this during COVID.  I remember some NBA players finding games very strange, like glorified practices.
