AND, if you want to be considered for the film, you'd have to PAY 20,000 yen($160) and attend 8-hour-long acting workshops. Yes, ACTORS PAY FOR THE AUDITIONS. These pay-to-play auditions are so common in Japan, that some directors fund their films by HOLDING PAID AUDITIONS. 3/

If there's anything to be learned from Vivo and Nimona, it's that just because one animation studio cancels an animated film, it doesn't mean it can't be revived at another one. I hope it leads to more cancelled animated films from studios getting second chances elsewhere.

Todays horror films just don’t do it for me. Bring back those naive 80’s college kids with the incredibly tight shorts, the cringe-inducing political incorrectness, the gratuitous nudity and those unbeatable practical effects. Please.

Yeah no I know all that. The Bateman wedging isn't the issue. This script is garbage. And Kunis was 3 seasons into a HUGELY popular TV series. How did they get her and Shatner to do this? Had to be HUGE paychecks if they agreed after reading this trash screenplay.

Because they didn't add the Bateman stuff until production started. Totally serious. It's bonkers.

I feel like none of us have lost sight of the most important thing in the Turning Red discourse: The movie is a wonderful gift and I love that the director is being rewarded for the film’s success with a promotion within Pixar.

not an original observation but a lot of the way film ppl talk abt politics in film specifically is so comically disengaged from political realities and almost always as navel-gazey as possible, centered around this false sense of personal fragility, its getting a little old ngl

Anya Taylor-Joy wanted to play the mermaid in Robert Eggers’ ‘The Lighthouse’: “I was like, ‘I can be the mermaid!’ He was like, ‘You really should not be this particular mermaid, Anya.’ I was like, ‘I can be the seagull, I can be in the background.’” (nme.com/news/film/anya)
