    The Cinema of Oliver Stone

    Interviews Stone on Stone Between 2010 and 2014 we interviewed Oliver Stone on a number of occasions, either personally or in correspondence by email. He was always ready to engage with us, quite literally. Stone thrives on the cut- and- thrust of debate about his films, about himself and per- ceptions of him that have adorned media outlets around the world throughout his career – and, of course, about the state of America. What follows are transcripts from some of those interviews, with- out redaction. Stone is always at his most fascinating when a ques- tion leads him down a line of theory or thinking that can expound on almost any topic to do with his films, or with the issues in the world at large. Here, that line of thinking appears on the page as he spoke, and gives credence to the notion of a filmmaker who, whether loved or loathed, admired or admonished, is always ready to fight his corner and battle for what he believes is a worthwhile, even noble, cause. Oliver Stone’s career has been defined by battle and the will to overcome criticism and or adversity. The following reflections demonstrate why he remains the most talked about, and combative, filmmaker of his generation. Interview with Oliver Stone, 19 January 2010 In relation to the Classification and Ratings Administration Interviewer: How do you see the issue of cinematic censorship? Oliver Stone: The ratings thing is very much a limited game. If you talk to Joan Graves, you’ll get the facts. The rules are the rules.

    Once Upon a Time … in Santa Clarita: Tarantino Movie Opens Thursday

    By: Caleb Lunetta, July 25, 2019 Once Upon a Time … In Santa Clarita: Tarantino movie opens Thursday Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino is known for his genre-defying blockbuster films that combine elements of art house, violence and comedy in his Academy Award-winning films. And the San Fernando Valley resident calls Santa Clarita “a special place,” according to local film property owners who have played host to the luminary for his latest film that debuts tonight, “Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood.” The latest installment in the Tarantino filmography follows the story of “a faded television actor and his stunt double (who) strive to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood’s Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles,” according to IMDb.com. The film features Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. Tarantino and movie fans were given a teaser trailer where the opening shot was that of Melody Ranch’s “Main Street” set. Veluzat said that the production team had been working with the studio for a couple months, from planning to setting up to filming, and for him, it was a special experience. Tarantino has filmed two of his last three movies at Melody Ranch in Newhall, according to studio manager Daniel Veluzat, and he’s praised the SCV in interviews and conversations with local residents. He really does like it here, said Veluzat, in reference to a question about why Tarantino has filmed his movies at Melody Ranch. “He calls it a special place,” he said. And on Thursday night, “Once Upon a Time” opens in theaters across the country, including the Santa Clarita Valley, featuring scenes shot at both Melody Ranch and the Saugus Speedway.

The three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter of such films as Skyfall and Hugo returns with two new plays on Broadway and in London’s West End, respectively. I’ll Eat You Last is a one-woman show about legendary Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, whose clients included Barbra Streisand, Cher, Gene Hackman and Mike Nichols. Currently on Broadway, starring Bette Midler, I’ll Eat You Last is nominated for the 2013 Drama League awards for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play. Based on the real individuals that inspired J.M.

Currently playing to acclaim in the West End, Judi Dench stars as Alice and Ben Whishaw as Peter in this new play where enchantment and reality collide. “A delectable soufflé of a solo show… It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny.” — New York Times on I’ll Eat You Last “A haunting play that sounds profound notes of loss and grief..

    Destin Daniel Cretton, Director. Just Mercy. Warner Bros. Pictures, 2019. Just Mercy Is the Film Adaption of a Memoir by Civil R

    Destin Daniel Cretton, director. Just Mercy. Warner Bros. Pictures, 2019. Just Mercy is the film adaption of a memoir by civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson, starring Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan. Dir- ected by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Short Term 12 and The Glass Castle, and co-written with Andrew Lanham, the film is based on Stevenson’s experiences as a young, black, Ivy League- educated attorney in rural Alabama during the 1980s and 90s fighting systemic racism and an abusive criminal justice system. This film is a social commentary on America’s failed judicial system that has disproportionately incarcerated African Amer- icans, perpetuating inequity in the black community. The film begins with Johnny D (Foxx), as he is stopped and surrounded by police while he drives home after a day of work. They are convinced that he is guilty of murdering a white woman and haul him off to jail. The following scene shows Stevenson (Jordan), a recent Harvard Law School graduate, arriving in Alabama. It becomes apparent that he is an activist and a lawyer specializing in death penalty appeals. Stevenson’s work highlights America’s biased judicial system in the deep South, where African Americans are unjustly prosecuted and poorly represented, resulting in many unfair convictions of innocent people. The level of systemic racism is profound in states such as Alabama, a former slave state and participant of Jim Crow laws. Arriving to meet his client, Stevenson is treated poorly by the prison guards who question his status as a lawyer. They demand that he is strip-searched before entering the facility, even though counselors are not subject to that type of protocol.
