Few options available. Get your intellectual property copyrighted. Script wise maybe get agent. Film yourself? Get a producer(s). Or : Bank loan. Do a 12 Minute short film try and get it shown at Sundance.
He made a lot of good points, though don’t share his admiration for Sherlock. I would give The Gentlemen 6.5/10. I’m in no hurry to buy the media. Apparently his next film Cash Truck which is in post production looks like a straight up heist movie, hopefully will be more entertaining.
I’m going to see Gentleman on Monday...A couple of friends who are quite reliable have said it is well worth seeing, especially Hugh Grant’s turn in it. And the preview looks promising. So I’m looking forward to it. I guess Sherlock restored Guy Ritchie’s commercial fortunes and bank-ability.
Please tell me he's found some awesome obscure song to make 'hip'! THAT'S his 'ace-in-the-hole', IMO. I HAD to buy the "Snatch" soundtrack just so I could own THIS!:
Guy Ritchie gave us "Bullet Tooth Tony" I am happy about that. "I hate f****n' Pikies". LSaTSB and Snatch were brilliant. After Madonna showed up he was finished.
I’m constantly recommending Snatch to friends and relatives. What a great movie. Even my loving and tolerant wife drops lines of dialogue on me. “Two minutes Turkish” and “yeah, I like dags” being her two favorites.
I just got back from seeing The Gentlemen today. I liked it and one other person who saw it with me liked it also, but two others hated it. I thought Hugh Grant was very good in his role, as were Charlie Hunnam and Colin Farrell. Though, the accent that Farrell uses may turn some people off. Matthew McConaughey's character was portrayed in the usual McConaughey style. He really didn't deviate the portrayal from other recent roles. It was probably an easy paycheck for him. The framing of the storytelling will probably turn off some people too, since it jumps back and forth in which Hugh Grant's character is the narrator telling the story. He's a reliable narrator with a motive, but one that mixes his imagination with the facts to fill in the holes. The first 30 minutes or so of the movie is kind of slow setting everything up but starts to pick up when you start to figure out who the key players are and how they are part of the story being told by Hugh Grant. Henry Golding also has a key role in this movie too, along with the others mentioned. For a January movie, I thought it was pretty good.
Just saw it and enjoyed it very much. Entertaining and holds your interest. That seems to be a difficult task for some movies these days, so I'd say it's a success. It seemed to me it had a few callbacks to The Long Good Friday. I wonder if that was intentional. JohnK
