Anne Frank + Disney + Mamet = What?
My first reaction to this movie news today was, "Well, at least it's not another sequel or straight-up remake." Rather, Disney and writer/director David Mamet are getting together to reimagine the story of Anne Frank. Here's more:
The film will be an amalgamation of the famed diary; the stage adaptation by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich; and Mamet's own original take on the material that could reframe the story as a young girl's rite of passage.
Movie Preview: Chiwetel Ejiofor in David Mamet's Redbelt
When I'm looking for a movie with strong writing and snappy dialogue, I often reach for something by David Mamet. This spring, the writer/director is turning his eye to the boxing ring with Redbelt, the story of a martial arts instructor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who stays far away from the high-pressure competition circuit — until mysterious circumstances force him into the ring to pay off debts and regain his honor.
Honestly, I've watched the trailer a couple of times now, and I still can't say I fully understand what the story is about.
Movie News of the Weird
This week, there have been several movie news items that have left me either scratching my head or chuckling to myself. Thus, I've collected some of these headlines for a kind of mini-news roundup... of the weird.
TV Tonight: "The Unit"
I've never gotten into "The Unit," but it seems like a show I should love. The CBS drama is produced by David Mamet, who I tend to think can do no wrong, and I'm intrigued by the premise of an elite Special Forces team who must complete dangerous and top-secret missions around the world.
Tonight might be a good time for me to finally check it out, because CBS is airing two new episodes back-to-back.
