ROAD TO PERDITION was released 24 years ago today.

Daniel Craig admitted he was intimidated working with Paul Newman. Sensing it on their first day, Newman put a hand on his shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous, kid. I’m just an old man with glasses.”

Just one of them days.

A tribute to Tony Rayns from Wong Kar Wai:

Night in Busan

My last encounter with Tony took place one evening in Busan many years ago. We were both far too drunk and never got the chance to properly bid farewell.

For decades, across the pages of Sight and Sound, Time Out and the independent journal Cinema Rising, Tony watched, wrote and translated. A free spirit in the realm of cinema, he guided festivals, shepherded audiences and preserved what might so easily have been lost: the nuance, the wit, the silence between words. He rendered the foreign familiar without ever stripping it of its soul.

Rest well, Tony. Thank you for your years of support and your unsparing honesty, for which I will remain forever grateful. — WKW

Not to bang the BFI drum but there's a good bunch of Tony Rayns works in the Mediatheque at BFI Southbank.

Editions of VISIONS with specials on cinema of Shanghai, Hong Kong + Vietnam, plus a Q&A with Bong Joon Ho circa MOTHER and a lecture on the films of Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

RIP Tony Rayns, a huge voice for East Asian cinema in the UK & beyond. Through his writing, programming and commentaries (especially in the far less accessible, pre-streaming era), he took us on curated journeys to learn more about film, culture, and the wider world.

Happy Birthday to Sylvester Stallone who turns 80 today! 🎂

Not only the great action star behind multiple franchises, but undoubtedly one of the great American filmmakers of our time, a prolific writer, producer & director who shows no sign of slowing down. Here's to many more!

I’ve been a huge fan of William Kaufman’s for years. It was a pleasure to finally talk to him ahead of his new film, Man of War, about what goes into making great tactical action

With great sadness I regret to inform you that Kjell Nilsson who played The Lord Humungus has passed away. Kjell lived a colorful life on his own terms, with unwavering conviction, an adventurous heart, and a spirit that refused to surrender. He was 76 years old. Rest in Peace.

[Mike Fury @TheMikeFury]
