Reply to Movie scenes that show many emotions with little dialogue... by bejeweled_sky

These might fit the bill:

Fruit market scene in Klute (1971) Scene available on Youtube.

Dale overhears the LA cops make fun of him at the diner in One False Move (1992)

Ending scene in Calibre (2018)

Ending scene in Fractured (2019)

Jack Lemmon's character in the turbine trip scene in The China Syndrome (1979) Scene available on Youtube.

This last scene has the most dialogue out of the ones I listed but it has lots of acting with body language and facial expressions as well.

>Bella cleverly reinvents the female-lead action genre pairing a sexy and unapologetic rock n’ roll edge with the gritty heightened realism of 80’s New York City

I've seen almost exactly the same words used to describe Atomic Blonde - though they didn't mention New York City, of course.

I'm not trying to poopoo this film, after 6cream I'm really interested in Samara Weaving getting more roles and will see this one when I can, that just feels like a weird way to describe the film.

Also, unrelated, the mention of 300's revenue shocked me so i had to look it up. The second one made $337.6 million! For the longterm meme value and continued presence of the first film, i'm kind of surprised the second made so much money when it didn't seem to have much of a 'cultural impact', as critics say.

Reply to comment by arealhumannotabot in Leonardo DiCaprio has only worked with 3 directors more than once: Baz Luhrmann (2x), Quentin Tarantino (2x), Martin Scorsese (6x). by jankyeyes

As much as I enjoyed Paul Dano, I think DiCaprio could've played Mr Fabelman

War Horse, Munich, and Tintin could've been good for DiCaprio also. They might have been smaller roles than he's use to but he took the smaller role for Django

DiCaprio tends to do exciting dramas like Revenant, Hollywood, and Shutter Island, but he's branched out. Don't Look Up was a straightforward comedy. Revolutionary Road and J Edgar were simple period dramas with almost no action. J Edgar even feels like a Spielberg movie in the vain of Lincoln and War Horse.

> I also feel like it became more comical

We laughed so many times last night during part four. The scene >!where that dude kept falling into the drum!< was amazing. What I loved about the fourth film is how they just leaned into the insanity. it's the most "John Wick" of the series.

For shits and giggles

Reply to Paramount Sets 1980s Action Thriller ‘Bella’ With Samara Weaving by AliceTheMagicQueen

Paramount Pictures is developing the action thriller Bella with Scream VI actress Samara Weaving set to star in the Larysa Kondracki directed title.  

Craig Flores is producing via Bread & Circuses Entertainment and Chad Stahelski is producing through his 87Eleven. Jason Spitz and Alex Young are executive producing via 87Eleven.

Jesse Wigutow is writing based on Jason Markarian’s script. 

Set against the backdrop of an unprecedented crime wave that gripped New York City in the 80’s, Bella is a hyper-stylized action thriller about a cop’s daughter who, after her father clings to life following an assassination attempt, goes on a rampage to unearth her father’s assassin and weed out deep-rooted corruption in the New York City Police Department.

Flores tells Deadline, “Bella cleverly reinvents the female-lead action genre pairing a sexy and unapologetic rock n’ roll edge with the gritty heightened realism of 80’s New York City. Collaborating with Chad Stahelski and 87Eleven whose talent is singular in bringing unparalleled action films to worldwide audiences is a dream for me, Larysa, and Samara.”

Flores’ credits include the profitable Paramount genre pic, Crawl, which made $92M WW against a $14M budget. He was an EP on Warner Bros.’ near $800M-grossing WW 300 franchise as well as a Co-EP on the near $227M WW grossing Immortals.

87Eleven had a record franchise-global opening hit in Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 this past weekend which debuted to $137.5M. The movie in the U.S./Canada made an estimated $5.7M on Monday raising its domestic running total to $79.5M. The John Wick franchise around the world counts over $732M currently through four movies.

Weaving currently stars in the $139M-plus global grossing Scream VI and can be seen in Searchlight’s upcoming Chevalier on April 21. She also headlined Paramount’s Oscar nominated Babylon, played Scarlett in Snake Eyes, starred in Bill & Ted Face the Music and broke out stateside in the Searchlight pre-pandemic horror hit, Ready or Not.

Kondracki has directed episodes on such notable TV series as Better Call Saul, The Americans, The Fix, Power and Power Book IV: Force. Her feature directorial debut was the Rachel Weisz crime drama The Whistleblower.
