‘People keep reinventing the same damn movie’: cinematographer Roger Deakins on 50 years behind the camera and his fears for film’s future
This master craftsman’s work has lit up everything from Bond to Blade Runner 2049. But as he publishes his memoir, why does he believe the artform he made his name in is in such decline?

Yes, he was amazing — loved his work on the Conan films, Robocop, Starship Troopers, The Hunt For Red October etc so I was thrilled to collaborate with him. We recorded the score in Seattle at the Bastyr University Chapel, which has fantastic acoustics.
I own the wonderful score by Basil Poledouris. Any memories of working with him?

Time had to limit the comments on the two videos released so far to their channel subscribers because everyone was ripping these videos apart and calling Darren Aronofsky a hack.
It's not even putting up viewing numbers for what they paid. I'll be surprised if this series is taken to completion.

Published my first piece at @wired.com today, about a string of AI thrillers that have bombed (most recent being the hopelessly naive Chris Pratt vehicle 'Mercy'), the backlash to Darren Aronofsky's YouTube slop take on the American Revolution, and a grotesque nostalgia-bait Super Bowl ad:

Entertainment about or made with artificial intelligence has been missing the mark with viewers over the past year.

In Minneapolis, people are literally singing resistance before marching to the hotels where ICE agents are staying—inviting them to defect and join us in solidarity. It’s an action rooted in compassion, courage, and collective humanity. Transforming fear into shared power.
