u/Critcho already mentioned the speedy turnaround time for Spielberg’s WAR OF THE WORLDS in 2005 but it should also be mentioned that his film MUNICH, also from 2005, began filming the day that WAR OF THE WORLDS came out (4th of July weekend), finished shooting by the end of August, was edited by October, and had score and sound effects finished by November. It came out Christmas that year, less than half a year from the first shot to the first showing, and it wasn’t even a scramble for The Beard.

Reply to Bourne Movies by hockey-guy99

My favorite spy movies. Bourne is way cooler than James Bond and Ethan Hunt. Bro is a massive force on his own. The others have teams and gadgets almost always at hand.

Turns out Max has a split personality disorder and is Vincent’s twin brother. His real name is Victor Vance (no connection to gta vice city whatsoever!). Now he has to avenge Vincent’s death, only he doesn’t know that his other personality - Max, killed him. There will be internal struggle, talking to mom in the hospital, taxi deep talk, a little bit of car chase during LA rush hour on 405, palm trees, new passengers and more taxi talk, facing inner demons, cocaine, mirror talk scene, crazy fights with Uber drivers in LAX. It’s everything you wanted from a sequel and more, pretty much!

It also helped that Spielberg shot all of the VFX heavy sequences first, to give ILM as much time as possible to complete the film. Even still, it was noted at the time that the film was still shooting when they dropped the Super Bowl ad that had completed visual effects in it.

Mamoru Hosoda. Wolf Children and Belle are two of my most favorite movies. Can't think of any other director except Chris Nolan.

Reply to comment by sledgehammer_77 in Which movies do you want to like but find it hard to do so? by EngineeringOk3975

I love a good spy movie but I feel like spy movies have to walk such a narrow tightrope to be good. If you make them too twisty-turny and hard to follow, audiences will lose track of what's going on, get bored, or feel dumb. If you make them too easier to figure out, they'll seem cliche and audiences will think the movie is dumb. They need to hit that perfect middle ground where the audience can be surprised by the twists, but also understand them.

I feel like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was more of the former. I read the book before seeing it and I still wasn't entirely sure who was who and what was supposed to be happening.

I might just be dumb though.

Reply to comment by Metal64Game in Michael Fassbender & Alicia Vikander Set For Thriller ‘Hope’ From ‘The Wailing’ Director Na Hong-Jin by indig0sixalpha

That’s true, I guess my issue is mainly with the second act. For a good portion of the film we follow the lead character as he searches for a woman who we believe to be dead, while the killer is in police custody. For a thriller, there’s just no tension in this set up.

If they revealed that she was alive earlier and made it clear that the killer would be released by a certain time, we would have been more invested in the lead character’s search.
