Where money & art make love

Dagnabit! I like a brain with my widescreen, thank you!
Guess with all the studios hyped up on reboots (geez), remakes (ugh), and sequels (blah) , the cineastes inside of us that yearn for regularly-scheduled, intelligent filmmaking (a la Scorcese, Demme, Mann, Fincher, Haynes) that’s rooted in this country will have to look no further…

Except all the [...]

Who’s writing this “bad boy?” (hello, over here!) Will two parts be enough?
Casting wise, will Leo keep his mug behind the camera? Or would you trust Rain to [...]
