Iron Lung's main actor, director, and producer were all the same guy, a guy who specifically loved the source material to bits, and beyond that, was responsible, partially, for the source material's rise in popularity in the first place.
I don't recognize this actor. Is he someone who popularized the entire concept of the Backrooms? Might be, I have a bad memory for youtubers. But even though I don't watch nor follow Markiplier, I knew him immediately due to simple osmosis. His personal popularity drove the original source material, and drove the movie adaptation.
Seriously, nigga? 🤨
Seriously. Not a clue. I'm guessing he's actually some billionaire super-actor, then? I don't follow the latest and greatest hits of Epstein's Lists.
Not a super actor, but a long time establishment actor.
He was the educated black man kidnapped and enslaved by dirty rednecks in 12 Years A Slave. He was also the indoctrinated psychopath sent to kill people to stop them whistleblowing on government attrocities in Serenity.
he was fine as "black science man" in "the martian."
I didn't mind him in 12 years a slave though that film I'd only watch once, too heavy, could only watch it on a plane flight.
But overall he's a great supporting actor. He can be the main actor but he's good at elevating the other characters near him like in The Martian.
Oh, "Not a super actor" wasn't meant to be an assessment of the quality of his acting, just his level of fame. Like he's not a superstar like George Clooney or Tom Cruise. I just mirrored the super actor phrasing that had already been used without realizing it was a more ambiguous way to say it.
I didn’t know the welfare office had backrooms?
Blackrooms
I hope this does well as Kane pixels, the guy who made all those backrooms videos was involved in this and A24 approached him and involved him to make it.
The main actor here is Chiwetel Ejiofor who was the operative in Serenity and the main guy in 12 years a slave so well known. Let's see as if they allow Kane to convey the horror of an endless maze that is based of something slightly familiar, it might work out.
I know him best from "Children of Men" (which is quickly becoming a documentary). That was his "breakout" role.
Underrated film for what it was, I particularly love this scene as you see the old soldiers emotional while the young ones confused at seeing a baby, allowing them to pass safetly till one of the insurgents fires on them, making them fight back with more ferocity now they have something to protect again.
Still no 4K or Criterion release. It's almost as if they don't want people being reminded the movie exists.
Cube?
Good, honestly. Not every film needs to be a trilogy or a franchise or a series. More often than not, a one-and-done is ideal. I did enjoy Kane's Backrooms videos, but hopefully the monster is kept to a minimum. I don't know if a wiry humanoid will be scary to a wider audience.
I'm pretty excited for this film. Kane pixels is a channel I've been following since it first debuted on YT. I'm going to watch this in theatres not only because I love his work but to support indie films and tell Hollywood to fucking die.
