  • From the Ashes of Suicide Squad Has Risen Something Fresh, Bold and Exciting: Birds of Prey. Inside the First-Ever Female-Ensem
    ARGOT ROBBIE SITS bouncing on the tip of a very large, very long tongue, laughing hysterically. It’s protruding from a statue of a woman’s head on a Burbank sound stage, which today has been decked out to represent a frightening abandoned funhouse. Sitting on another tongue opposite Robbie, also bouncing, are director Cathy Yan and screenwriter Christina Hodson, trying (not entirely successfully) to have a serious meeting in- between takes. This trio have formed a gang over the past four years, spearheading the movie Robbie has dreamed about since first playing the scene- stealing Harley Quinn — psychiatrist-turned- crazed criminal — in 2016’s DC comic-book adaptation Suicide Squad. Robbie, Yan and Hodson are having so much fun, you forget that the action scene they’re attempting to figure out (it involves a fight that takes placeinside an enormous slide) is one of the most complex in Birds Of Prey. Wearing her producer hat, Robbie starts running through the choreography for the fight. It’s immediately clear that she runs this show. She’s a popular boss. On Fridays, she chooses a different fancy dress theme. Today is ‘Hawaii’, hence a crew dressed in Hawaiian shirts and leis. Last week was St Patrick’s themed. Her cast and crew cannot stop effusing about her work ethic and intellect. Producer Bryan Unkeless even insists she’s the most impressive person he’s ever met. “I feel most fortunate about meeting Margot Robbie more than most any other person in my life,” he says. “Every day we’re worried about a hundred things, but we’re never worried about Margot.” When Robbie took on the role of Harley in David Ayer’s DC misfire, she adopted the character like a child she wanted to nurture.

  • This Is a Forced Feminist Agenda:”
    Master’s Thesis “This Is a Forced Feminist Agenda:” IMDb users and their understanding of feminism negotiated in the reviews of superheroine films Author: Alžběta Budirská Supervisors: Johan Höglund and Jukka Tyrkkö Examiner: Magnus Levin Date: 31. 5. 2021 Term: VT2021 Subject: Linguistics and Literary Studies Course code: 5EN10E I declare that I have worked on this thesis independently, using only the sources listed in references. …………………………………………….. Bc. Alžběta Budirská Abstract The thesis examines how users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) negotiate feminism in their reviews of four superheroine films – Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Birds of Prey: The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman 1984. By combining critical discourse analysis with methods of corpus linguists, this corpus-based study of over 18,000 reviews analyses the frequency of the topic of feminism in the reviews, words and topics associated with it and the way the reviewers reflect broader mediated discourse over the four films, and the role of IMDb as a space for these reviews. The findings show that feminism is still understood as an anti-male movement where female-led films are shielded from criticism by the mainstream media by the virtue of the lead’s gender, the superheroines are criticised for being overpowered particularly where they have no equal male supporting character and that perceived feminist messaging is usually written off as a forced political agenda or as an insincere cash grab made by corporates which effectively use feminism for promotion. It also reveals IMDb as a highly polarised platform where the users leaving 1- and 10-star reviews are generalized as representatives of different sides of the political spectrum (antifeminist vs feminist, conservative vs liberal) regardless of the actual content of the review.

  • Press Kit Family Romance, Llc Press Kit Dead Pigs
    PRESS KIT FAMILY ROMANCE, LLC PRESS KIT DEAD PIGS PRESS CONTACT Michael Krause | Foundry Communications (212) 586-7967 | [email protected] FILM MOVEMENT BOOKING CONTACTS Jimmy Weaver | Theatrical (216) 704-0748 | [email protected] Maxwell Wolkin | Festivals & Non-Theatrical (212) 941-7744 x211 | [email protected] SYNOPSIS Based on remarkable true events, Dead Pigs is a bitingly humorous social satire about the trials and tribulations connecting a disparate group of characters in the midst of a baffling nationwide mystery. Shifting between Shanghai and the neighboring provincial town of Jiaxing, the film centers on the intersecting stories of five characters, whose loose connections begin to fatefully intertwine: a down-on-his-luck pig farmer; a feisty home-owner defending her property; a lovestruck busboy; a rudderless rich girl; and an American expat pursuing the Chinese Dream. Their fates converge and collide as thousands of dead pigs are found floating down the Huangpu River. A universal human story set against the backdrop of globalization, drastic social change and increasing wealth inequality, Dead Pigs is the masterful feature debut of exciting filmmaker Cathy Yan (Birds of Prey), starring an international ensemble including Vivian Wu (Away), Mason Lee (Lucy), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), Meng Li (A Touch of Sin), Haoyu Yang (The Wandering Earth), and David Rysdahl (The Family). Executive Produced by Jia Zhangke (Still Life) and Ali Wong (Always Be My Maybe). DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT This is a deeply personal story years in the making. Dead Pigs is a reunion of sorts -- a way for me to better understand my birth country, a place that has enthralled and confounded me ever since I left it in 1990 at the age of four.

  • Pretty/Violent: Cinematic Action Heroines from 2015 to 2020
    PRETTY/VIOLENT: CINEMATIC ACTION HEROINES FROM 2015 TO 2020 Ryan Michael Monk Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Esther Clinton © 2021 Ryan Monk All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor Hollywood filmmakers have recently, and dramatically, changed their depictions of women in Action Movies in the Two-Thousand-Teens. There has been a dramatic disparity between images of violent men and violent women. However, filmmakers are now giving action heroines the same attention they gave to action heroes. This thesis examines Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, and Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn to make clear much of the progress, and one or two pitfalls, these films have presented audiences with, including the use of tropes that were previously, in terms of Hollywood major motion pictures, mostly only seen in male-led Action Movies. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Becca Cragin (chair) and Dr. Esther Clinton, and Bowling Green State University, for allowing me opportunity to develop my thoughts under their tutelage, Dr. Jeffery A. Brown for letting me T.A. his class, Women in Action Movies, and my colleagues Tricia Ennis and Blue Profitt, whom I met at BGSU, for their attention to detail and for going out to the movies with me so much the theatre felt like a dorm room.
