The Northman
In the latest issue of Empire Magazine (via /Film), Ethan Hawke and Robert Eggers compare The Northman to Apocalypse Now, only with more “burping and farting” Vikings.
It begins with squawking ravens; within minutes there are men crawling about on all fours like dogs, burping and farting.
And [The Northman] is reaching for so much. It’s like [Eggers] found an ancient Viking scroll in a cave off the coast of Norway or something. It’s an amazing text. I’ve often complained, ‘How come nobody even tries to make Apocalypse Now any more?’”
Dune: Part Two
In conversation with Collider, Denis Villeneuve revealed his script for Dune: Part Two is now “mostly” finished.
The screenplay is finished mostly, but it’s always a work in progress. It’ll be a work in progress until final cut, but I will say it’s solidified. I have a script in my hands. We are in prep right now.
