Brent Lang Executive Editor Universal reached back through the ages to hype Christopher Nolan‘s epic adaptation of “The Odyssey” at CinemaCon on Wednesday. Jim Orr, the studio’s distribution chief, predicted that the film, which is still shooting, will be “a visionary, once-in-a-generation cinematic masterpiece that Homer himself would quite likely be proud of.” He seemed to be serious, but the audience of theater owners (and perhaps a stray classicist or two) laughed at the hyperbole.

‘A Minecraft Movie’ Review: Jason Momoa and Jack Black Bro It Up in a Genially Weightless Video-Game Quest

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The age of clunky, amped up, zoned out, overly literal movies adapted from video games lasted a long time — from the very first one, “Super Mario Bros.,” in 1993, stretching on through such duds as “Mortal Kombat” and “BloodRayne” and “Max Payne” and (sorry, fans) the “Resident Evil” series and the grandiose liquid sludge of “Assassin’s Creed” and, just last year, “Borderlands.” So in a way that era didn’t end; the potential to turn a video game into a bad movie never goes away. Why would it? Video games are the anti-movies. They have characters and worlds and narratives and action and fantasy and spectacle, but they’re ultimately a post-psychological form for a post-psychological age.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Next Scripted Film Comedy Shopping For New Home: The Dish

EXCLUSIVE: Sacha Baron Cohen‘s next film, an untitled scripted comedy, is being quietly shopped to distributors. The comedy was originally set at Universal, and none of the principals would comment. But is sounds like case of deja vu. I’m referencing Baron Cohen’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Fox turned the first Borat into big hit, but Baron Cohen needed the sequel released before the 2020 presidential election, and so the film moved to Amazon Studios, got released in October, and was nominated for two Oscars.
