DVD & Blu-ray: WILDLIFE (2018) Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The directorial debut of actor Paul Dano reveals a filmmaking talent of remarkable intelligence and restraint. Adapted by Dano and Zoe Kazan from the novel by Richard Ford, this meticulously crafted portrait of the American nuclear family in crisis charts the rift that forms within a 1960s Montana household when the father and breadwinner (Jake Gyllenhaal) abruptly departs to fight the forest fires raging nearby, leaving his restless wife (Carey Mulligan, in a performance of fearless emotional honesty) and teenage son (Ed Oxenbould) to pick up the pieces. A deeply human look at a woman’s wayward journey toward self-fulfillment in the pre-women’s-liberation era and a sensitively observed, child’s-eye coming-of-age tale, Wildlife poignantly illuminates the complex ways in which families function, fall apart, and find their way.

Paul Dano Joins THE BATMAN as The Riddler

After the recent announcement that Jonah Hill is no longer in the running for the role of the Riddler in Matt Reeves' upcoming DC Comics movie "The Batman", we now have a definitive answer to this conundrum.

Paul Dano has been cast as the villain, who in this film will be known as Edward Nashton. The director is apparently looking for a more grounded take on the character, as opposed to Jim Carrey's cartoonish version in 1995's "Batman Forever". The film, which Reeves has described as being "a point-of-view-driven, noir Batman tale", also stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon.

Production on "The Batman" will begin later this year or early 2020. The release date has been set for June 25, 2021.

Dano recently received an Emmy nomination for his role in the 2018 Showtime limited series "Escape at Dannemora". He is also set to star in Jane Campion's drama "The Power of the Dog" opposite Kirsten Dunst and Benedict Cumberbatch.

SWISS ARMY MAN Trailers, Music Video and Posters

A24 has released two trailers (green-band and red-band), a music video and two posters for "Swiss Army Man", a movie unlike any other you've ever seen.

Directed by Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), the dramedy stars Paul Dano as a man stranded on a deserted island who, just as he is about to commit suicide, discovers a corpse named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washed up on shore. The two become close friends and they embark on a surreal journey to get home. Believe me when I say that this short description of the plot simply doesn't do justice to all the weirdness you are about to witness in those two trailers. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Timothy Eulich and Richard Gross co-star.

The original score composed by Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull and Robert McDowell is just as unique. The music video features a song named "Montage" which showcases their work and some crazy lyrics. Here is how Hull describes the scoring process:

"We had to write a lot of the material before the movie was shot so that the actors could sing along while filming. After the movie was shot, we did traditional scoring at our studio, where we watched the footage and added music (voices). Nearly a year after we began working on the movie, we flew to LA to record the final vocals from the actors to really make it sound like this score is taking place inside of a crazy dudes mind. It was and is surreal. The end result is at times really trippy and lonely. There are also songs that have over 100 voices singing and sound outside of anything I thought we would be able to create. What we aimed for was something really beautiful that can evoke emotions without having to always use lyrics or any traditional instrumentation. It’s an up and down journey that parallels the travels and conversations of these two characters. It was easily one of the greatest experiences of our lives. It really pushed and stretched us to think outside of the box and outside of our comfort zone. I’m thrilled that we finally get to share it."
