‘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?

I rewatched MISSING when it screened in LA last year and I think that's a film people should revisit now.

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.

Robert De Niro’s copy of the Taxi Driver script includes his handwritten notes and provides insight into how he constructed his performance and how improvisation is incorporated into the filmmaking process.

In-depth look is an understatement! Photos, DeNiro’s marked-up script, lots of video commentary & interviews, even more photos, and a masterful essay by Tim Pelan. Like what you see? Donate a few bucks to this incredible non-profit group so they can continue their work.
DeNiro as Travis Bickle, on the set with cast and crew.

One of the producers of DIRTY GRANDPA wants poor people executed.

Hollywood producer Barry Josephson to Jeffrey Epstein:

“I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"
This convo between Epstein and Hollywood producer Barry Josephson is particularly disturbing. On top of the creepy messages about a minor, there's this: "I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"

Also, any film director trying to legitimize AI should look at how badly Darren Aronofsky flushed his reputation down into the toilet this past week for a series on YouTube that's getting numbers along the lines of video essays I've made that had a lot less promotion.

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:
Hollywood Is Losing Audiences to AI Fatigue
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.
