Crimson Tide 1995 Denzel Washington Gene Hackman

CRIMSON TIDE

Review by Gabriel

FILM DETAILS
Review Score: 90% (Excellent)
Director: Tony Scott
Genre: Thriller, Drama, Action.
Starring: Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini, Matt Craven.
Runtime: 116 min / 123 min (Ext.)
Rating: R, for strong language.
There are too few good submarine movies. The old ones were in the sweet old Second World War heroic tradition, very clean and neat. Then, in the ’80s, Wolfgang Petersen brought us "Das Boot". That’s enough to forgive him about "Troy". "Das Boot" is a classic war film, brutal and realistic, both a tribute to the young sailors who fought in the war and an unique work of suspense. No submarine related film has ever come close to equaling Petersen’s epic. But in 1995, "Crimson Tide" came very, very close.

On November 4 1979 as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran taking 52 Americans hostage. But in the midst of the chaos six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed the Canadian and American governments ask the CIA to intervene.

tom cruise top gun
Plans for "Top Gun 2" have fallen apart. Tony Scott's death has put the sequel on hold indefinitely. Screenwriter Peter Craig ("The Town") had been hired to write a draft and Tom Cruise was eager to reunite with Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. But, plans for the 3D version of the original "Top Gun" are moving forward and the re-release is expected to happen in February 2013.





need for speed most wanted
The "Need For Speed" film is moving forward at a rapid pace. Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad") and Imogen Poots ("Captain America") are set to star and Dominic Cooper ("Captain America") is in talks to join the cast. The adaptation will be directed by Scott Waugh ("Act of Valor") and written by George Gatins who co-authored the story for Robert Zemeckis' "Flight". The story will center "on an underground racecar driver (Aaron Paul) who owns a garage that modifies expensive cars. Wrongly convicted but recently released from prison, he’s out for revenge on whoever framed him and killed his best friend." "Need for Speed" will be released on February 7, 2014.



liam neeson badass
An official synopsis has been released for the airplane thriller "Non-Stop", starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore. The film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra ("Orphan", "Unknown"). Here is the synopsis :
"Coming off his smash hit TAKEN 2, Liam Neeson partners once again with UNKNOWN director Jaume Collet-Serra and producer Joel Silver. This time Collet-Serra goes a step further, plunging the audience into a movie that is at once a labyrinthine mystery, a high-octane action picture and a twist-filled Hitchcockian thriller where no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect.

Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a burned-out veteran of the Air Marshals service. He views the assignment not as a life-saving duty, but as a desk job in the sky. However, today’s flight will be no routine trip.

Shortly into the transatlantic journey from New York to London, he receives a series of mysterious text messages ordering him to have the government transfer $150 million into a secret account, or a passenger will die very 20 minutes. What follows is a nail-biting cat and mouse game played at 40,000 feet, with the lives of 200 passengers hanging in the balance.

NON-STOP isn’t just an action film, but a 500mph rush of adrenaline, suspense and excitement."

  • MMA fighter turned action star Gina Carano ("Haywire") is in talks to join the sixth "Fast and the Furious" movie. Carano will star alongside Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock as a member of Johnson's special Diplomatic Security team. "Fast 6" moves the action and most of the cast of "Fast Five" to the UK for some fast and furious driving. Justin Lin is returning to direct both this sequel and the next one, which will take place in Germany.

  • "Top Gun 2" is moving forward in a hurry. According to Paramount President Adam Goodman, the sequel will reunite Tom Cruise, director Tony Scott ("Man on Fire", "Crimson Tide") and producer Jerry Bruckheimer : "We’ll likely make a Top Gun sequel with Tom Cruise first. Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct. All parties are moving ahead. We’ve hired Peter Craig ("The Town") to write the script." Also, it seems that Paramount is in a rush to film "Top Gun 2" before "Mission: Impossible 5". And if you just can't wait to see Maverick back in action, the original "Top Gun" will be re-released in 3D sometime this year.

  • Darren Aronofsky's hugely ambitious adaptation of Noah's biblical tale is beginning to take shape. Russel Crowe has been confirmed to star as Noah. Also, Saoirse Ronan and Jennifer Connelly have recently joined the cast. The movie is said to have a budget of around $125M and will aim for a PG-13 rating. Aronofsky wrote the screenplay alongside Ari Handel, and John Logan ("Gladiator", "Hugo") and is set for release on March 28, 2014. Here is a fragment of an official press release which provides more details about the movie :
    "NOAH is a close adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In a world ravaged by human sin, Noah is given a divine mission: to build an Ark to save creation from the coming flood. The screenplay was written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel and revised by Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter John Logan (GLADIATOR, HUGO).

    Scott Franklin and Aronofsky of Protozoa Pictures, along with Mary Parent of Disruption Entertainment, will produce the film. The film will be executive produced by Ari Handel (BLACK SWAN), Arnon Milchan of New Regency and Chris Brigham (INCEPTION, ARGO).

    The movie will begin shooting this July in Iceland and New York."

  • "Transformers 4" will be written by Ehren Kruger who also penned the scripts for the last two "Transformers" movies. This is not exactly positive news for those hoping for an improvement in the franchise. The fourth entry will be a reboot, meaning that the cast of the previous movies will not return, including Shia LaBeouf. It is also rumored that the new sequel will focus more on the robots and less on the humans, which hopefully means less awkward humor. Michael Bay will return to direct. The targeted release date is June 29, 2014

  • Mel Gibson and Michelle Williams are in talks to join the cast of "Machete Kills", the sequel to Robert Rodriguez's B-style exploitation flick. While Gibson is pretty much a sure thing, Michelle Williams isn't and neither is Rodriguez, who is still split between directing this sequel or "Sin City 2". Danny Trejo will return in the title role of Machete, the former Mexican Federale, who this time around is recruited by the U.S. Government and tasked with tracking an arms dealer through Mexico before he can launch a rocket attack.

  • Two weeks ago I was writing that MGM is preparing to produce a remake of Brian De Palma's "Carrie", which was based on a Stephen King novel. Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don’t Cry") is onboard to direct, Chloe Moretz will star in the lead role and Julianne Moore is in talks to play Carrie's crazy mother. This week, Roger Birnbaum, CEO of MGM, let it slip that the new "Carrie" remake will be in part a found-footage movie. It remains to be seen just how much of it will be found footage and how that will mesh with the claims that this remake will be more faithful to the novel.

Were you worried that your once favorite TV show is going to get its big-screen adaptation scrapped ? I know I was. But no longer. The filmmakers are determined to start filming the new "24" movie in April 2012. About a year and a half has passed since the last season of "24" ended and the progress of Jack Bauer's cinematic adventure has been very slow and troubled. Producer Brian Grazer and lead actor Kiefer Sutherland both assured fans that the movie is going to get made, but while the script by Mark Bomback ("Live Free or Die Hard", "Unstoppable") is expected to be finished by the end of 2011, they are still looking for a director. Tony Scott ("Man on Fire", "Crimson Tide") was previously attached, but quit. The target year for the movie's release is 2013, so, here's hoping they don't delay this production any longer.

Writers Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller were just hired to write the sequel to Tony Scott's 1986 box-office hit "Top Gun". Initially, a script for a sequel was being cooked up shortly after the first film was released, but was dropped eventually and was never heard of again. Stentz and Miller are currently on a roll in Hollywood, after writing the scripts for Marvel's "Thor" and "X-Men: First Class", two very successful and well received comic book adaptations. Before that, they worked on episodes of the TV series "Fringe", "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Andromeda". Tony Scott will return to direct the sequel, but it is unkown at this time if Tom Cruise will reprise his role as Maverick, or they'll write in a new protagonist. I just hope they can call back Harold Faltermeyer to write the music, because as I recall, his score and Giorgio Moroder's song "Take My Breath Away" were two of the best things about the 1986 actioner. Next year, "Top Gun" is returning to theaters, in full 3D conversion.
