Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Carnahan

What if Tarantino told Guy Ritchie an idea for a movie who wrote it down but then lost it during a storm when someone picked it up and tried to connect the dots that got smeared in rain? The result would probably be Joe Carnahan's action-comedy “Smokin' Aces”. Join the St. Johns as they talk about this stacked cast (and who stood out), the overly complicated plot, and just what tone this movie was going for.

Shyra is a multi- hyphenate artist. A singer, dancer, producer, fitness entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, whose creative vision spans music, fashion, and personal empowerment. This Los Angeles-based powerhouse first captivated dance music fans with her breakout single “DJ Love Song,” which reached #28 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The track went on to be featured in John Singleton's film Abduction and later in the action film Skin Trade. Shyra's latest single “Operator”, co-written with Ben Franklin, is an electrifying anthem about reclaiming personal power. Featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Not Without Hope directed by Joe Carnahan, the track showcases Shyra's signature high-energy sound and empowering lyrical themes. Her upcoming release, a modern reimagining of The Pointer Sisters' “Fire,” is slated for May and promises to be a bold, high-tempo summer anthem for all! Shyra's influence extends beyond the studio. In 2019, she co-wrote and released “Universal Love” as a Pride Month anthem promoting global unity. The track was remixed by top DJs and embraced as a celebration of inclusivity and love. Behind the scenes, Shyra has collaborated with industry icons such as Grammy-winning songwriter Makeba Riddick (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jennifer  Lopez) and veteran producer Gary Luxx (Janet Jackson, Usher, Maroon 5). Currently, she is working on her next studio album with a bold new direction, continuing to reinvent pop with soulful authenticity. Committed to lifting others as she rises, Shyra founded STAR Academy in 2016—a performance-based mentorship program for emerging talent in music, fashion, film, and stage arts. She is also the co-founder of ShyFit, a lifestyle and activewear brand designed to inspire confidence, strength, and style for the new generation. Whether she's on stage, in the studio, or mentoring young creatives, Shyra brings purpose, power, and passion to everything she does. https://www.instagram.com/shyrasanchez/ https://www.shyra.music/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacqMPKEOQLCuea1u4AvkYeAHT21wzJ2fxpWxmzX1oD8lGpaLArApdt4HkoUiA_aem_nCBwMoTEiE-FYtWp8eh3sA

“For me, I don't know how you could not make [a script] personal. I think drama allows you to hide how personal it is. I think that's kind of what I like about writing in the genre space. On the outside looking in, it just looks like a big action movie. It doesn't look like a personal story. But there are personal elements like my mom was a working mom as well. And so that's why you have Kyra in the movie who has to come back to her son because she's been working to protect him. That's a very personal thing… but you would never assume that it's a personal story because it's wrapped up in the action,” says Leon Chills, co-writer of the new film Shadow Force, about writing action from a very personal point of view.  On today's episode, we talk with director/co-writer Joe Carnahan and co-writer Leon Chills about the new action flick Shadow Force that puts a family at the center of the action. With a bounty on their heads, Kyra (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) must go on the run with their young son (Jahleel Kamara) to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. Carnahan and Chills talk about the challenges of writing action set pieces and the power of giving the story emotional weight. We also discuss trying to push the boundaries of the action genre to invent set pieces that are fresh and inventive, and writing action scenes on the page that are compact and concise.  “As an older writer and doing it as long as I have, I'll tell screenwriters, if I see four or five lines of scene description, I'm telling you, do it in two. Do it in one. Let people spend 40 minutes reading your script. No more. You know what I mean? Get through it with that kind of economy. If you've ever read M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense script – it's an absolute masterclass in how to do that. Just so sparse and beautiful and pitch perfect the way that things are written,” says Carnahan.    To learn more about action writing and hear more advice, listen to the podcast.

Sa femme souhaite qu'il ne travaille plus pour la police. Mais lorsque l'officier Calvess est tué, il est chargé de l'affaire. Il doit faire équipe avec le lieutenant Harry Oak, le coéquipier du policier décédé, connu pour son sens de la justice expéditive. Leur traque de l'assassin va les entraîner à travers les dédales de ruelles glauques et dans les crack houses où se dealent les drogues. Un environnement qui hante Nick comme un cauchemar...Pour son second long-métrage, Joe Carnahan frappe fort avec NARC, un polar âpre, brutal, sans concessions.

In the thirty-second episode of Season 10: Dealer's Choice, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with cinematographer Josh Carter to discuss the delirium of a continuous night of antics and chaos in Joe Carnahan's lost studio comedy filled with his signature style and energy in the blue-collar Hollywood commentary film Stretch (2014).

“They weren't eating him. They were killing him.”A Harrowing Tale of Survival in the Alaskan WildernessIn 2011, director Joe Carnahan set out to create a film that would push the boundaries of the survival genre. With a script co-written by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, based on his short story "Ghost Walker," Carnahan assembled a talented cast led by Liam Neeson to bring this harrowing tale to life. Filming took place in the harsh conditions of British Columbia, Canada, where the cast and crew faced frigid temperatures and unforgiving terrain. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the 2013 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards Best Actor nominees series with a conversation about The Grey.Survival, Philosophy, and the Meaning of Life in the Face of DeathIn our discussion, we delve into the film's exploration of survival, philosophy, and the meaning of life. The Grey is more than just a tale of man versus nature; it's a deeply introspective journey that forces its characters to confront their own mortality and find purpose in the face of death. We analyze the powerful performances, particularly those of Liam Neeson and Frank Grillo, who bring depth and vulnerability to their roles.The film's stunning cinematography and realistic portrayal of the Alaskan wilderness are also topics of discussion. We examine how Carnahan and his team utilized a combination of practical effects, CGI, and real wolves to create a visceral and immersive experience for the audience. However, we also note some inconsistencies in the characters' clothing choices, which occasionally detract from the overall believability of the film. (At least for Pete's wife.)Other Points of InterestThe symbolism of the wolf pack and its parallel to the group of survivorsThe use of poetry as a recurring motif throughout the filmThe controversial ending and its post-credits sceneThe film's themes of masculinity, redemption, and facing one's fearsThe Grey is a film that stays with you long after the credits roll. It's a testament to the human spirit and the lengths we will go to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. Carnahan's direction, coupled with the powerful performances from the ensemble cast, makes for a gripping and emotionally charged viewing experience. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

Joe Carnahan is considered one of the most fiercely independent directors in Hollywood today. Bursting onto the scene with Narc, it served as a cinematic calling card that landed him on the A-list as far as directors go, but rather than accept projects that felt compromised to him, he would step down if he thought he wasn't a good fit. This happened with Mission: Impossible III, and it happened with the Death Wish reboot. He chose to make films that were personal to him, and while the results have sometimes been mixed, many (us here at JoBlo included) consider his movie, The Grey, to be a masterpiece. Of his films, one that's always had a mixed reaction but is developing a cult following is 2006's Smokin' Aces.Smokin' Aces is an interesting film to revisit. It was an early action role for a young Ryan Reynolds, who leads the ensemble cast as an FBI agent tasked with protecting a high-profile snitch named Buddy Israel, played by Jeremy Piven at the height of his fame on entourage. A who's who of assassins descend on the Lake Tahoe resort that he's holed up in. The movie provides early roles for Common, Alicia Keys, Joel Edgerton, and most notably, Chris Pine, who went from this to starring as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek reboot. The cast also included vets like Jason Bateman, Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia and more.While not an immediate hit, the film was a smash on home video, earning a DTV prequel, and has since become a favorite in the crime genre to fans. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Movie, we take a look at the story behind Smokin' Aces and how Carnahan came to direct this comic action mashup, which features a great performance by the late Ray Liotta.

This week, Michelle Yeoh makes a brief appearance in Joe Carnahan's long-delayed sci-fi action movie BOSS LEVEL, finally released as a Hulu original in 2021. The film stars Frank Grillo as a man caught in a timeloop, but it is *not* EDGE OF TOMORROW, it's a different timeloop action movie - also starring Naomi Watts, Mel Gibson, and more.

Issue 39 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with our regular features, all of which feature horror or disturbed characters. Our Classics and Recommended feature is the hit South Korean psychological chiller A Tale of Two Sisters; the Hidden Gem is Peter Jackson's horror comedy The Frighteners; The One That Got Away tells the story of Joe Carnahan's unrealised project White Jazz; the Remake Hatewatch lays into the insipid 2005 version of The Fog - and in our bonus Remake Restoration we discuss how the Shipping News could have been done better. Next week we bring you the Big Conversation in which James and James each try to pitch the next great blockbuster

I promise the title of today's episode is not clickbait.Our guest, Wayne Godfrey is a British film producer, CEO of Fintech platform, Purely Capital, and expert film financier who've raised nearly $325 million for more than 120 independent feature films.Wayne founded Purely Capital in 2018 to enables film and TV rights owners a way to accelerate payments from years to days, for their content from streaming platforms.This year, he became a mentor at Creative Futures Collective in the UK to contribute to unearthing the next generation of creative industry leaders from disenfranchised backgrounds and empower them to break cycles of systemic inequalities they've experienced. He's credited as executive producer for numerous independent feature films, including, The Man Who Invented Christmas, Robert Rodriguez‘s Sin City, Martin Scorsese‘s Silence, and Joe Carnahan's Boss Level. An undeniably impressive career Wayne has built as a ‘problem solver in film procurement investment – a long way from DJ-ing around London as a young guy with only a deep interest and some skill in sound production.Some of his other key production credits include The Foreigner.THE FOREIGNER, starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, is a timely action thriller by the director of “Casino Royale.” The film tells the story of humble London businessman Quan (Chan), whose long-buried past erupts in a revenge-fueled vendetta when the only person left for him to love — his teenage daughter — is taken from him in a senseless act of politically motivated terrorism.In his relentless search for the identity of the terrorists, Quan is forced into a cat-and-mouse conflict with a British government official (Brosnan), whose own past may hold clues to the identities of the elusive killers.It was really cool getting Wayne's perspective on what he considers as the pillars of a successful film from a marketing POV to thrive in the current diluted and competitive marketplace. He points out that a great story, recognizable talent, and capital can determine a film's success right out of the gate.I know it has not been smooth for a lot of indie filmmakers during these COVID times and I promise, there is something in this conversation for everyone because Wayne doesn't speak only from a marketing standpoint, but he understands extensively, the development, negotiating, and production structures of film financing are always an assuring point of sale for filmmakers.Enjoy my eye-opening conversation with Wayne Godfrey.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2881148/advertisement

In many ways, David and Jules' relationship is no different from that of most fathers and their sixteen-year-old daughters. He struggles to understand her, she refuses to communicate with him. He wants to be involved in her life, she wants her own space. In one important respect, however, David and Jules share a profound bond: the death of Jules' mum, and David's wife, in a car crash two years before. With both struggling to cope with everyday life in the shadow of their loss, Jules, inspired by happy memories of her mum, decides to take matters into her own hands.ABOUT JEREMY PIVENJeremy Piven can next be seen in the feature film Crabs in a Bucket opposite Oscar winner Bruce Dern and Orange Is the New Black star Taryn Manning.

The timeloop film isn't nothing new. One of the most famous is the comedy GROUNDHOG DAY (1993), but the horror and sci-fi genres have had a number of well received films with many now considered modern classics such as EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014), LOOPER (2012), and HAPPY DEATH DAY (2017). Another such film, stuck in COVID limbo, was released to Hulu in 2021 called BOSS LEVEL.When former black ops soldier Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo) wakes up to an assassination attempt, he suddenly finds himself in a timeloop. Trying to reach his son and his ex-wife scientist Jemma Wells (Naomi Watts), he has to relieve day after day as more and more assassins appear to his future self. Now Roy discovers there may a bigger secret that could result in the end of the world leaving him as a reluctant hero.The movie is directed by Joe Carnahan who previously did THE GREY (2011) and NARC (2002). The film stars Frank Grillo, Naomi Watts, but also Mel Gibson and Michelle Yeoh. Most critics enjoyed this film that some viewers say is an unknown hidden gem.

NRC host, Eric Brown, kicks off the year with NEMESIS RELOADED #1 by Mark Millar and Jorge Jimenez! MINISERIES PREMIERE! The world's most evil comic book is back! Who is Nemesis, and why does this eccentric billionaire who dresses up in a mask and cape want to terrorize people instead of helping them? Isn't that how this is supposed to go? Trigger warning: Too violent and too cool for some! INTRODUCTION BY MARK MILLAR It feels weird to reboot one of your own projects, but kind of nice too. Historicall, pop culture icons get a facelift every fifteen ears or so as the Tim Burton era Batman gets replaced by Chris Nolan's Dark Knight or Daniel Craig makes way for Henry Cavill or the mighty Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Politics tends to move in these big ten-to-fifteen-year swings too, as the White House turns red or blue for half a generation, and comics likewise ebb and flow with new takes on old ideas. Nemesis was a book I created with the brilliant Canadian artist Steve McNiven. All my favorite Americans turn out to be Canadian and Steve is no exception! We brought this book out thirteen ears ago, right in the middle of Kick-Ass mania, and it sold GANG-BUSTERS. It was only four issues long, but I think I've signed as many of these as I've signed mv other evergreens like Old Man Logan, Kick-Ass, Superman: Red Son and Civil War. You can watch fan films online and if vou do a Google, you'll see homemade toys guys have beautifully painted and splattered with fake blood. 20th Century Fox bought the movie rights, first for the legendary Tony Scott and then for the great Joe Carnahan. Once those lapsed it was snapped up by Warner Brothers and it's been written and rewritten over there for years. What's the fascination with this project? How did Steve and I make more monev from this concept than we did from even Civil War, Marvel's biggest selling graphic novel of all time? It was literally just four issues. There's also so man things I'd do differently now, and this is the curse of being a published writer. Once vour project is out there, there's nothing you can do, right? Well, that's the beauty of the soft reboot. Superman was very different by the mid 50s than his Golden Age roots, that new take on the character flipped again in 1971 and John Byrne's revamp in 1986. This was my chance to bring Nemesis into a new age and tweak the origin, so I had more room to play than the original four issues, and also integrate him into this Millarworld universe we've put together, leading directly into the huge series we're doing in July. Big Game is where every one of our characters cross over in a spectacular summer event drawn by Marvel refugee Pepe Larraz. It's going to be spectacular, and I couldn't miss a chance to do the most perfect version of this concept I love and have the character interacting with all my other favorites. The whole experience has been incredibly satisfying, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner than DC's greatest artist; the brilliant, brilliant Jorge Jimenez. So, enjoy NEMESIS RELOADED and wait until you see where this book, Night Club, The Magic Order Volume 4 and our new The Ambassadors take vou. I promise it's going to be the best money you've ever slipped me. Cheers for now, MARK MILLAR

It's been a hell of a year so far. I've been blessed to have had the honor of speaking to some amazing filmmakers and man today's guest is high on that list. On the show we have writer/director Joe Carnahan. Joe directed his first-feature length film Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane. which was screened at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, and won some acclaim.In 2002, Joe directed the neo-noir crime film Narc starring Ray Liota and Jason Patric. The film caught the eye of the biggest movie star in the world Tom Cruise, who jumped on as an executive producer. His involvement helped propel the film and Joe's career. Narc went on to earn about 13 million dollars in the worldwide box office, and launch Joe's career.Narc: When the trail goes cold on a murder investigation of a policeman an undercover narcotics officer is lured back to the force to help solve the case.Tom Cruise asked Joe to write and direct Mission Impossible III. The dream slowly became a nightmare as Joe was run through the Hollywood machine at the highest level. He left the project soon after.As a response to his Hollywood experience he wrote and directed the high octane, insane masterpiece that is Smokin' Aces, starring Ben Affleck, Ryan Reynolds, Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia, Chris Pine, Common, Jason Bateman, Wayne Newton. The film is about a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel who decides to turn state's evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he's no longer breathing.In 2010, Carnahan directed the action thriller The A-Team, a film adaptation of the hit television series from the 8os. It was a worldwide box office hit, becoming Joe's highest-grossing film.THE A-TEAM follows the exciting and daring exploits of Hannibal Smith and his colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit. Going rogue, they utilize their unique talents and eccentricities to try and clear their names and find the true culprit.Liam Neeson (Taken), Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), mixed martial arts champ Quinton Rampage Jackson, and District 9 sensation Sharlto Copley, are The A—Team.

Naomi Watts is widely considered one of the best actresses of her generation. Born in England but raised in Australia, Watts is a contemporary of close friend Nicole Kidman and made her American debut in the cult film Tank Girl. She broke out after starring in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, which began life as a TV pilot before being reshot and re-edited into one of the most acclaimed films of the 2000s. From there, stardom was a given, with her becoming extremely bankable after playing the lead in Gore Verbinski's The Ring and the sequel, The Ring 2.Many widely acclaimed roles followed, with her starring in Peter Jackson's mega-budget remake of King Kong (2005). She also starred in David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, Birdman, St. Vincent, and J. A Bayona's underseen The Impossible, which proved to be a breakout role for a young Tom Holland.However, in recent years Watts' big-screen output has become lower-key, with her seemingly opting to focus on TV (her series Gypsy lasted a single season on Netflix), with her initially set to star in HBO's abandoned Game of Thrones prequel. She's kept busy making smaller films, such as Philip Noyce's Lakewood, Luce and This is the Night, as well as a turn in Joe Carnahan's Boss Level, but we here at JoBlo Originals think Watts is one of the best in the business and should be treated as the icon she is.

Our Score - 7.58/10 (B) Rotten Tomatoes - 83% IMDB - 7.1/10 Chosen By: Shane Cronican On the surface, Narc (2002) may seem like a stock police thriller. However, thanks to powerhouse performances from Ray Liotta and Jason Patrick, and an injection of style and energy from director Joe Carnahan, this manages to rise above its counterparts.

This week we are joined by independent filmmaker and “Mission: Impossible” enthusiast BenDavid Grabinski, who tells us about his IMF tattoo and his “M:I-2” fan website that he began in the late '90s when he was just 15 (inspired by a similar site for “The Lost World”). We also talk about Joe Carnahan's version of “M:I-3,” why he prefers “Days of Thunder” to “Top Gun,” and what changed about Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt from the fourth movie on.

Sorry in advance about the dodgy audio quality, you can blame it on us trying to record from the penthouse of a hotel in Lake Tahoe if that helps make it thematically appropriate. And it should, because for this episode we're tackling Joe Carnahan's 2006 gangster / assassin free-for-all Smokin' Aces, starring Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, Chris Pine, Ben Affleck, Alicia Keys, and a whole bunch of other talent crammed in like so many murderers into an elevator. A simple and workable premise is smothered in characters, technique, and subplots, but how could this all have been executed (ha ha) better? Join Leigh, Brendan, and Chris as they discuss and attempt to fix this hyper piece of early 2000s action nonsense, and as they enjoy perhaps the best cocktail they have ever made for this podcast. Yes, it's just that good. Continue reading →

It's time for a brand new episode of The Flickcast. The podcast about stuff nerds love. This week it's Episode 461: No Time to Podcast. On this week's brand new episode, Chris and Joe get deep into it with discussions, observations and, yes, opinions on various new and recurring topics. So, another typical Tuesday? Yep. Some of these include the latest James Bond opus No Time to Die, the recent Marvel superhero blockbuster Shang-Chi and all of the recent announcements at Disney's "Disney+ Day" such as Moon Knight, Secret Invasion, What If? season two and Agatha: House of Harkness. And of course, some other random "mores" too. Picks are happening again this week with Chris' pick of Joe Carnahan's Copshop and Joe's pick of the Robert Redford film Sneakers.  Sure, it takes him a minute to get there, but he makes it.
