Hanks

COVER STORY

AS ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED ACTORS IN SCREEN H I S T O R Y, T O M H A N K S H A S C R E AT E D S O M A N Y MEMORABLE MOVIE CHARACTERS. Just some of those unforgettable roles include; a man-child in Big (1988), a baseball manager in A League Of Their Own (1992), a romantic in Sleepless in Seattle (1993), an AIDS patient in Philadelphia (1993), a loveable innocent in Forrest Gump (1994), the voice of a cowboy in Toy Story (1995) and its sequels, an astronaut in Apollo 13 (1995), a war hero in Saving Private Ryan (1998), a survivor in Cast Away (2000), a codebreaker in The Da Vinci Code (2006), entertainment icon Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks (2013) and a kids’ TV legend in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019).

Modest as he is talented, Hanks puts his success down to a simple three-step formula, saying: “You have got to show up on time and you have to know the text and you have to have a head full of ideas.”

Repeatedly voted America’s favorite movie star, Hanks has the acclaim to go with his box office might having won back-toback Best Actor Oscars in 1994 and 1995 for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump and starring in nine movies nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award.

He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Pic ture Ar ts and Sciences and spearheaded fundraising efforts for the soon to open Academy Museum.

Hanks hit the headlines in 2020 as the first major movie star to test positive for coronavirus but happily recovered and before the year was out had starred in two more well received movies, war film Greyhound and westerns News of the World.

He will next be seen in Disney’s live action version of Pinocchio as kindly woodcarver Geppetto and as Elvis Presley’s manager in an as-yet untitled Elvis drama.

Approaching his 65th birthday, he happily has no plans to retire and continues to love the movie business.

Hanks says, “I love what I do for a living, it’s the greatest job in the world.”

ZEROES AND ONES

Ethan Hawke couldn’t resist the chance to star in upcoming movie Zeroes and Ones because it gave him the chance to work with one of his heroes.

This is the 50 th film from writer-director Abel Ferrara, whose previous pictures have included such memorable movies as Bad Lieutenant and King of New York.

“I’ve been a fan of Abel’s since I first fell in love with movies,” said Ethan. “He’s got voice with the camera and depth with his actors and his work is incredibly inspiring to me.”

This new film is a thriller which sees Haw ke playing a n A me ric a n soldier stationed in Rome during lockdown who suddenly finds himself bat tling with terrorists.

“The script speaks to the moment and what we’ve all been going through. I think it’s something very special,” added Hawke.

Filming stylish acting thriller Vanquish came with

one major challenge for actress Ruby Rose – not to wreck the $600,000 McLaren sports car she had to drive in the movie.

“I didn’t want to mess up the car so was sitting up like a grandma at the wheel,” smiled the star of Capstone’s latest release.

Her charac ter must use guns, guts and great vehicles in a battle with gangsters in the film, which proved a joy for Rose for a number of reasons.

She added: “After all the time not working during lockdown it was great to be outside again. Plus I got to work with Morgan Freeman, one of the greatest actors of all time.”

Mega media deal L AT E S T N E W S

Iconic studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer – home to James Bond, Rocky and other great titles – has been bought by Amazon for $8.45 billion.

The e-commerce giant made the move to bolster it s film and T V content to become even more competitive in the streaming wars which currently dominate the industry.

MGM’s library includes over 4,000 films including The Silence of the Lambs, Basic Instinct, Legally Blonde, RoboCop, The Pink Panther, Thelma and Louise and Tomb Raider.

Amazon’s founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos said: “We can reimagine and redevelop that I.P. for the 21st century.”

The big money purchase comes with a couple of asterisks, however. Amazon owns only 50 percent of the Bond franchise, the balance is held by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. And many of MGM’s classic titles like The Wizard of Oz and Singin’ in the Rain are not included as those were sold off long ago to Ted Turner and WarnerMedia.

But there could be a rapid return on the investment at the next awards season as MGM is behind some of the leading contenders at the next Oscars, including Aretha Franklin biopic Respect, starring Jennifer Hudson, and Ridley Scott drama House of Gucci, starring Lady Gaga.

THE PRICE RIGHT IS

The reopening of movie theaters post pandemic has seen a surge in business for IMAX and other premium priced screens.

After over a year indoors, it’s clear that filmgoers are now prepared to pay more for an enhanced experience with the best digital projection and sound enjoyed from plush seats.

Typical of the trend was the box office for spring 2021’s only blockbuster, Godzilla vs. Kong, which drew 27 percent of its US audience on large or luxury screens – a sector which normally accounts for 15 percent of business.

China, Japan and other international markets have seen a similar boom in the more upscale screenings for a range of movies.

Exhibitors are encouraged by the development which, given the higher pricing in such screens, should help hasten the financial recover y of an industry hard-hit by Covid-19 and facing strong competition from streamers.

“As we approach a new normal, venturing outside t he hous e nee d s to b e s p ecial, p er fec t, and amazing,” said Tim League, co-founder of upscale A m e r ic a n c hai n A la m o D r af t h o u s e Ci n e ma s, explaining the luxury boom.

CINEMATIC O N E O F T H E W O R L D ’ S B E S T- L OV E D MOVIE THEATERS IS CLOSING FOR GOOD, PROMPTING AN OUTPOURING OF GRIEF FROM FILMS FANS. The historic Cinerama Dome on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is one of 300 screens across California shut tered forever by the economic impac t of Covid-19.

Also gone from the state are all ArcLight Theaters – previously one of the highest earning chains in the country – and all Pacific Theaters, including their flagship cinema at upscale LA shopping mall, The Grove.

But it ’s the shocking los s of the 70 -foot- high Cinerama Dome which has led to the most dismay on social media and prompted a petition to save it which drew 10,000 signatures in just the first three days since the closure announcement.

That landmark has become a symbol of Hollywood’s motion picture history since opening in 1963 with the premiere of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and been featured itself in a string of films including, most recently, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Will anyone step in to save it? Maybe even Tarantino himself? Not so far. At the time of writing, it really looks like this icon – like so many other theaters where fans first fell in love with movies – will not return.

Without them it’s a sad, sad, sad, sad world.

MEGHAN AND HARRY HAVE BEEN GETTING BUSY IN THE FILM BUSINESS SINCE STEPPING BACK FROM ROYAL DUTIES.

A l t ho ug h Me g ha n w as a n ac t r e s s b efor e marrying Harry, she plans to stay behind the camera for now.

T he couple, now bas e d in C alifor nia, are developing projects under their lucrative deal with Netflix.

To run their production company, Archewell, she and Harry have hired Ben Browning, whose producing credits include recent awards darling Promising Young Woman.

Reportedly worth more than $100 million, the multi-year pact will see them creating content including feature films and documentaries for the streaming giant.

“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement.

The famous couple talked about their plans in an explosive TV interview with Oprah Winfrey which made global headlines.

At the time, this magazine’s editor, Sandro Monetti, gave a string of TV interviews to CNN, Fox and other major broadcasters about the couple’s media impact and future.

Prosthetics expert Mark Coulier – twice an Oscar winner in the past for The Iron Lady and The Grand Budapest Hotel – called on all his experience for this assignment.

First he and his team took a computer scan of the actor playing the puppet, i, and used that to create a sculpture of him.

Then they built silicon pieces painted to look like wood and applied them in various pieces – including six to his face and one for each finger.

Just applying the prosthetics took three hours each day – requiring extraordinary patience from the young actor.

But the results are there for all to see and the Italian film became a surprise Hollywood awards contender having earlier scooped five trophies at Italy’s top film awards.

Pinocchio also stars Roberto Benigni, the best actor Oscar winner in 1999 for Life is Beautiful, as woodcarver Geppetto who creates the special puppet.

Tom Hanks will soon take on the same role in a live action version of the Disney animated hit and it will be quite an achievement if that one matches the make up magic of this film.

TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

I t was t he ul t imat e cl ash o f t he t i t ans –

Godzilla Vs Kong – and the bombastic blockbuster became the first monster hit of 2021.

But behind all the incredibly impressive special effects was some very basic technology that allowed the human actors to react to the movement of the CGI creatures.

Laser pointers – like the kind pet owners use with their cats – directed cast members like Millie Bobby Brown and Alexander Skarsgard where to look when imagining the monsters around them in footage which would be added later.

For close ups it was something even more basic - tennis balls held up on sticks that the actors had to gaze up at in wonder and fear.

The rest was up to the technical wizards led by John “DJ” DesJardin, the visual effects supervisor whose previous credits include Batman v Superman, Watchmen, Justice League and The Matrix Revolutions.

32

The major battles in the film, like the climactic clash of the creatures amid the neon signs and bright lights of Hong Kong, were entirely CG created by his team.

With the well-received “wow” factor of those effects and the big global box office takings, it’s clear this state of the art meets old school basics approach was a winning one.

As star Millie Bobby Brown said of the ultimate look of the film: “It’s so beautiful and so magical, and takes you out of the real world and puts you into that world.”

TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT

HOLLYWOOD EMBRACES NFT You’ve probably heard by now about the excitement sur rounding NF Ts – profit hungry Hollywood certainly has.

Independent filmmaking is one of the early adopters of the technology trend, which first came to global attention in the art world.

It was the sale of a piece of digital art (see below) for $69.3 million early in 2021 that made the movie world think that if a JPEG could fetch such a price, what possibilities could there be in movies.

Among the first off the blocks was filmmaker Trevor Hawkins who sold non-fungible tokens – or NFTs – at $1,000 each to represent ownership shares that give profit participation in his independent film Lotawana.

Meanwhile film finance firm The Forest Road Company have closed a $20 million fund that will make pre-production investments in films in return for the right to sell collectibles associated with their movies using NFTs.

An NFT is a unique digital certificate of authenticity for digital or physical objects and the tokens are stored a n d t ra n s a c t i o n s reco r de d o n a blockchain, the same kind of network which powers cryptocurrencies.

It’s all very new but the appeal to Hollywood is that is gives filmmakers the opportunity for more capital on the front end and greater profits on the back end so creators can better monetize their projects.

Is the technology here to stay?

We shall see…

P O L I C Y & R E G U L AT I O N S

Film piracy has surged to unprecedented levels since coronavirus lockdown measures were introduced and now the industry wants greater protections.

Data shows that illegal streaming and downloading of films has risen by more than 40 percent since March 2020.

When a movie is released in theaters it’s hard for thieves to obtain a top-quality recording of it and they often have to resort to filming it with a hidden camcorder.

But when theaters closed for the pandemic, studios sold off many of their big budget movies to streaming services and pirates found it much easier to replicate digital releases perfectly.

With government efforts to prevent viewers from accessing pirated content proving largely unsuccessful, the movie industry is seeing profits disappear and urging lawmakers to get tough with the thieves.

Congress is examining closing loopholes in copyright laws and updating criminal penalties more appropriate to the modern digital world.

For an industr y losing for tunes to the pirates, new policies and regulations can’t come soon enough.

Sandro Monetti

That has led to a huge number of unlicensed downloads of films like Mulan and Trolls World Tour which caused such movies to fall short of their digital buys targets.

BACK COVER STORY

TRAIN WRECK OR TRIUMPH? The 93rd Academy Awards was like none ever seen before – in both good ways and bad.

The positives saw the 2021 edition as the most diverse Oscars ever, full of historic firsts for women and people of color.

The negatives included the lowest ratings in history with only ten million American viewers watching the ceremony.

One big change, enforced by the pandemic, was the venue with the Academy largely abandoning its usual home of Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre to stage most of the event at LA’s Union Station.

40

And although the first Oscars held in a train station threatened to go off the rails at times, no one could fault the setting with its handsome Art Deco design features and natural light.

Opinion was divided about this scaled down, low key ceremony. But with vaccines circulating, theater s reopening and restrictions easing, there’s real hope the next Oscars will be a more traditional affair – with a much bigger audience both at the ceremony and watching around the world.
