    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

Through her shenanigans she is able to teach them about the madness of life and the importance of family. Toni Collette and Anthony LaPaglia sink themselves into their roles so brilliantly that you lose yourself in their insanity. Oh, and it’s an Aussie film, which adds yet another level of fun! Mental combines the certifiably loony characters of Best In Show with the heartfelt songs of The Sound of Music, literally. Recommended For: People who can appreciate off-the-wall, zany stories! Silver Linings Playbook is a peculiar story about two people who have experienced loss and want to believe in a better tomorrow. Hope gives them comfort. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper spend the majority of the film challenging one another, both as characters and actors.

As writer- director of such acclaimed films as Magnolia (1999) and There Will Be Blood (2007), Anderson was praised for appearing to have “arrived at his mastery virtually overnight” with his first major release, the 1997 ensemble film Boogie Nights (Gleiberman). Anderson has long been compared to veteran filmmaker Robert Altman, whose take on the typical Hollywood narrative format has clearly influenced Anderson’s films.

  • Executive Summary for the Feature Film, Anthony This Is a Unique Opportunity to Invest in an Impactful Movie with an Outstanding Potential ROI 3X-15X
    Executive Summary for the Feature Film, Anthony This is a unique opportunity to invest in an impactful movie with an outstanding potential ROI 3X-15X. The Anthony screenplay has been endorsed by Hollywood’s #1 and #5 rated script consultants as one of the best scripts they’ve ever read. A film like this hasn’t been made before. The Anthony script displays superior craft and genre dominance over top selling box office feature films that have made over $100M worldwide. Anthony is set-up to perform better at the box office than the movie Juno which won an Oscar for best origi- nal screenplay and made $231M worldwide. An impoverished, brilliant kid wants to live and prove his life is valuable by standing up to the status quo and by changing the world in a major way, but will he be able to stand up to the one he loves the most? LOGLINE In the vein of It’s A Wonderful Life, Sixth Sense and Beautiful Mind; Anthony is a smart, thrilling, patriotic drama that is inspiring and compelling. Since childhood, Anthony demonstrates his convictions and boldness to stand up for himself and others. Growing up in a single-parent home, Anthony struggles with the question throughout his life of whether his personal worth is equal to his accomplishments. As an adult, Anthony battles a mysterious illness and it seems someone wants him out of the way. He uses his brilliant mind to try and prove that he is of value by defining himself as a person to his mother, Maria, to his father who SYNOPSIS abandoned him, and to the rest of the world, by striving to save millions of lives including his own.

  • Episode Five: Bogdanovich, the Misunderstood
    EPISODE FIVE: BOGDANOVICH, THE MISUNDERSTOOD BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: We have a mutual friend of course, Peter Bogdanovich. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: That’s right. As a matter of fact, you have me to thank for the fact that you were asked to be in the picture that was probably the least successful of any of your past. BEN MANKIEWICZ: That’s Orson Welles and Burt Reynolds on The Tonight Show back in 1978. The most popular late-night talk show of all time. Regularly seen in more than seven million homes. Reynolds was a guest host, sitting in for Johnny Carson. Reynolds had been in Peter’s last two movies. Both flops. ORSON WELLES FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: My feeling was that the picture needed you. BURT REYNOLDS FROM THE TONIGHT SHOW: No, it needed a lot more. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Burt Reynolds was really famous at this point. 1978 was the first of five consecutive years when he was the most bankable movie star in the country. Orson, of course, was a famous director and actor. And one of Peter’s closest friends. Burt’s jokes Peter could handle. The jokes from Orson devastated him. PETER BOGDANOVICH: Yeah, they'd said some unpleasant things about me. Yeah, I was watching it. I sent Orson a note the next day saying, I was watching, I tuned in to see what you thought, how you guys were doing. Something like that. BEN MANKIEWICZ: Peter is telling me this story late last summer - 41 years had passed. And it’s still hard for him.
