>In a competitive situation, FX has landed rights to turn the Mark Bowden bestseller Hue 1968 into a limited event series that will span eight-10 hours. Michael Mann and Michael De Luca will creatively quarterback the adaptation of Bowden’s kaleidoscopic account of the bloody siege that became the turning point of American involvement in the Vietnam War. Mann plans to direct multiple installments of the series, including the opener, and he will produce alongside De Luca and FX Productions. The hope is to be shooting by year’s end in Asia. The book was just published to critical acclaim by Grove Atlantic.
>Bowden’s achievement is in making “them into us,” said Mann. “We are them. There are no background people; people abstracted into statistics, body counts. There is the sense that everybody is somebody, as each is in the actuality of their own lives. The brilliance of Bowden’s narrative, the achievement of interviewing hundreds of people on all sides and making their human stories his foundation, is why Hue 1968 rises to the emotional power and universality of For Whom the Bell Tolls and All Quiet on the Western Front.”
>The producers chose FX largely because of an affinity toward network chief John Landgraf, whom Mann considers an auteur executive in the mold of Brandon Tartikoff when Mann made Miami Vice and Crime Story at NBC, and Mike Lombardo at HBO when Mann and David Milch teamed on Luck.

How great will this be? Then with any luck he gets to shoot Enzo Ferrari in Italy next Summer. I can't wait.

Okay, we knew Edgar Wright wasn't very creative, talented, or original, but this is the most blatant ripoff of another film ever made.

Drive was released in 2011.
Edgar Wright wrote Baby Driver as a college student aged 20, in 1994.
He directed a music video in the early 2000's that's inspired by his idea for the film.
So I can guarantee you it's not a copy.

Oh man I sure am interested in knowing what deep thoughts Lynch had in mind when he was making this scene.
I have no idea what it was but I'm sure it's very complex and meaningful

Damn dude, what did I trigger in you? I lazily googled Fire walk with me and this kissy face made me laugh. I saw it years ago, didn't really care for it, and don't remember this scene at all. Original show and the current one are pretty great though.

It was a meta-nod to the viewer from Lynch about how to interpret his films. Notice how Lynch himself introduces the woman.

Peggy would be cucking Al with a black guy, Kelly would have short dyke hair and be even more sexually liberated, and Bud would be a tranny. Al, being a straight white male, would have an even worse life because he deserves it.

Most likely have gays and niggers in it, and nobody would watch it.

Given that recently widowed men are statistically likely to kick the bucket soon after the spouse, how many more cameos can we expect?

Of course statistically an old spouse is likely to kick the bucket soon after the other dies. But also inversely, an old spouse is likely to kick the bucket before the other one as well.

If Marvel were smart they'd have him film like 20 scenes in front of a green screen that they could shoehorn into future movies.

Fuck.
