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.

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

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

ANALOGY: An athlete probably prefers the screaming fans, stadium noise, crowded sideline, etc. Ask players to play in an empty stadium and they'd probably be unsettled

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

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.

The 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?

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."

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.

Have y'all seen the pic where Leo is cleanshaven and wearing a suit alongside Teyana Taylor? Wonder if they're shooting semi-sequentially and the hippie facial hair comes at the beginning, before he "cleans up"? (And, yes, I know the entirety of the facial hair could be makeup)

Scrooby

Someone must have mentioned the following

Since we're just blueskying here "to pass a piece", to no real effect—Has anyone noticed a vibe of irreverency hovering about the production?

Examples : Leonardo's antic telephone call; and his skulking along the overpass; and his questionable suit; and some of the seemingly light-hearted signage?

Is a comic element explicable in all this?

But since PT is the Triple Tone (a breathtaking rarity in narrative art), Scroob imagines that the humo(u)r of BC Project may be integrated into a more complex mood-engineering. Well, obviously.

Whatever BC Project turns out to be at its premiere, no doubt it'll be far more than that.

Quote from: max from fearless on February 02, 2024, 02:52:45 PMFreakin love seeing Wood Harris who is incredible, get to play in the PTA sandbox. PTA don't give a fckkkkkk. This is why I get hyped for this boy. His projects are singular af, no pandering to who's hot who's not. There's no fear in our boy! Wishing them all the best for this shoot. WTF is this movie!?!?!

Simply enough, it is always exciting to see an alum from "The Wire" get action in a PTA feature...of course Michael K. Williams as Tariq Kalil was a serendipitous moment for this fanboy.

One thing that just occurred to me is the fact that he's using a Girls Trip alum in Regina Hall. Feels all the more clear that his Haddish enthusiasm has fizzled.

Like all of us, he saw The Card Counter.

If this was the film he had in mind for Haddish when Phantom Thread came out, then he has been cooking this project up since at least 2017.
