Nun hat sich „Leon – Der Profi“-Regisseur Luc Besson an Bram Stokers Kultstoff gewagt und präsentiert seine ganz eigene, nicht immer vorlagentreue Version von „Dracula“. Pascal und Stefan haben sich den Film angeschaut und plaudern im Podcast darüber, ob Bessons Blutsauger tatsächlich zum nächsten Vampir-Highlight taugt – oder ob der Biss diesmal eher zahm ausfällt.

Di nuovo?A quanto pare sì ma "Dracula-L'amore perduto" di Luc Besson è la dimostrazione che, a volte, la semplicità e il mestiere possono comunque portare alla visione di un film piacevole e pure divertente.

Luc Besson e Matilda De Angelis ospiti della puntata in occasione dell'uscita del nuovi film "Dracula. L'amore perduto"
Ils ont vu passer des productions prestigieuses comme The Killer de John Woo, The Last Mrs Parrish de Robert Zemeckis, Valerian de Luc Besson et des séries phares telles qu'Emily in Paris, Le Bureau des Légendes ou The Walking Dead et même des athlètes durant les derniers JO dans la capitale. Aujourd'hui, les Studios de Paris, dotés de 9500 m² de plateaux de tournage et plus de 15 000 m² d'ateliers, de bureaux et de loges, s'offrent une nouvelle tête d'affiche. Ou plutôt un président, Pierre Lescure.
From the smoky streets of Little Italy to the milk-stained benches of a hitman's apartment, Born to Watch takes aim at one of the most unique and controversial action dramas of the '90s with its Leon: The Professional (1994) Review. In this week's episode, Whitey, Damo, and Dan on the Land dive deep into Luc Besson's stylish, unsettling, and surprisingly heartfelt film about an unlikely bond between a hitman and a 12-year-old girl.Would this movie be made today? Probably not. But that's part of its enduring intrigue. The crew revisit the world of Jean Reno's stoic assassin, Gary Oldman's manic DEA agent, and Natalie Portman's breakout performance as Matilda, the orphan who turns vengeance into a calling.As the boys reminisce, they take a nostalgic trip back to 1994, the year that gave us Green Day's Dookie, Nirvana's Unplugged, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy, and The Offspring's Smash. It was also the year they thought they were "arty as hell" watching French cinema in suburban multiplexes. Cue the milk, the braces, and the John Wayne impressions; this episode delivers the perfect blend of pop culture, humour, and heartfelt nostalgia that makes Born to Watch such a cult favourite.Damo questions the fascination with milk-drinking hitmen, Dan lists the defining albums of '94, and Whitey recalls seeing the film in cinemas, not realising it would later feel very different once he had an 11-year-old daughter of his own. Together, they unpack the film's layered characters:Leon (Jean Reno): slow, gentle, and dangerous, with an oddly pure soul.Matilda (Natalie Portman): vulnerable yet vengeful, performing far beyond her age in a debut that stunned the industry.Stansfield (Gary Oldman): a villain so unhinged, it's impossible to look away. His Beethoven-fuelled rampage remains one of the most gloriously overacted performances in movie history.The trio debates whether the film's tone, which sits somewhere between action, arthouse, and morality play, could survive modern scrutiny. There's talk of Luc Besson's eccentric direction, Portman's controlled emotional performance, and the film's moral discomfort that keeps audiences divided decades later.They also share behind-the-scenes gems, such as Portman's parents' restrictions on smoking scenes, her early mastery of on-screen crying, and Luc Besson's knack for finding raw emotion in unlikely places. Damo draws parallels to The Exorcist, Dan applauds Reno's physical subtlety, and Whitey argues that Portman should have received an Oscar nomination if not for Anna Paquin's earlier win for The Piano.The gang laugh their way through some classic Born to Watch segments:The Cry-Meter: Whitey admits to misty eyes (7.5%) during the early tragedy.The Snorb's Report: Featuring Elle Macpherson in Sirens, naturally.The Hit, Sleeper, and Dud: With shoutouts to The River Wild, Wagons East, and Legends of the Fall.By the end, the trio agree that Leon remains both haunting and hypnotic, a masterpiece of tone, performance, and ambiguity. It's a film that feels both dangerous and tender, and is completely unforgettable.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was Gary Oldman the most unhinged villain of the '90s? Why do all hitmen love milk?

El passat dissabte ens va deixar la gran Diane Keaton als 79 anys i en aquest programa li rendim homenatge a la protagonista d''Annie Hall'. A la part de les estrenes destaquem la 'Caza de brujas' de Luca Guadagnino i 'Un simple accidente' de Jafar Panahi, l'última Palma d'or a Cannes. i per acabar fem un cop d'ull al festival de Sitges, on estem aquests dies i on hem vist coses com 'La vida de Chuck', 'Good boy', 'Gaua' o les últimes obres de Park Chan Wook, Luc Besson, Radu Jude i molts altres. 00.00 Intro i les noticies 08.00 Homenatge a Diane Keaton 31.00 Les estrenes: 'Caza de brujas', 'Un simple accidente' i 'La deuda' 48.00 Festival de Sitges
El festival porta ingressats més de 900.000€, en el que significa un nou rècord, en el qual hi té molt a veure l'augment en prop d'un 8% en la venda d'entrades. Ahir Mònica Garcia i Àngel Sala ho certificaren, i el director va apuntar el leit motiv de la 59a edició: les encarnacions del mal, celebrant el 50è aniversari de tres clàssics: 'La profecia', 'Carrie' i 'Quién puede matar a un niño'. Però això serà l'any que ve. Mentrestant, Carles Calvo compra el 'Drácula' de Luc Besson, tot i que és una pel·lícula molt irregular que, volgudament, prioritza la història d'un amor. L'entrada Dia 8. ‘Drácula’, menys Coppola del que s’esperava, i l’any que ve… ‘La profecia’, ‘Carrie’ i ‘Quién puede matar a un niño’ ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.
En el rerefons, l'expectació davant la versió de Drácula que ha realitzat Luc Besson i que ja apunta a opinions polaritzades, però abans en Carles Calvo ens acosta a algunes de les pel·lícules de la jornada d'ahir. Des de la singularissima 'Bulk' del britànic Ben Wheatley, que ahir va rebre la màquina del temps, fins a l'esbojarrada 'No other choice' de Park Chan Wook, tot passant per 'Opus', de Mark Anthony Green i protagonitzada per John Malkovich en, probablement, el paper més oblidable de la seva carrera. L'entrada Dia 7. l’inclassificable Ben Wheatley rep la màquina del temps, Park Chan Wook diverteix, i John Malkovich no hi ha per on agafar-lo ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.
Les thèmes sont censément les clés de voûte de la littérature, mais il existe pourtant des pans entiers de la fiction où ils ne sont pas spécialement centraux. Quelle place dans l'écriture à proprement parler : faut-il les décider à l'avance, ou bien les laisser se présenter si c'est le cas ? Lionel pense que qu'il est inévitable d'en avoir, ne serait-ce qu'à travers les préoccupations personnelles des personnages. Dès lors, autant les conscientiser pour s'en emparer au lieu d'en devenir esclave, voire risquer les biais inconscients. Il met en avant l'importance de l'inconscient dans leur émergence. Pour Mélanie, les thèmes incarnent le liant dans son travail de fiction ; ne pas les avoir cernés suffisamment entraîne souvent des blocages dans son processus. Estelle expose trois niveaux de lecture des thèmes : à la création, à la réception publique et à l'exégèse. Elle met en avant un équilibre à trouver entre l'importance de l'inconscient, l'incapacité fondamentale de tout contrôler dans la création, et la conscience nécessaire qu'il faut avoir de son travail et des courants sous-jacents dans l'œuvre des autres, surtout quand vient s'insérer le recul historique.

De derde aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. Het is alweer zo'n 23 dagen geleden dat we een podcast hadden opgenomen en William heeft ook nog eens last van z'n rug, maar William was ook gewoon op vakantie. Er zijn een aantal mensen uit de filmindustrie dood gegaan. Met Cinemaatjes zitten we in de Halloween-maand en doen we weer Oc2ber, waarin we steeds een deel twee uit een horrorreeks doen. De eerste film is Scream 2 en JP heeft een mooi verhaal over het Scream-masker. We hebben het ook kort over de Nederlandse actrice Tilly Norwood. Marino heeft weer een prachtig sonnet geschreven over een film. We zijn samen naar de bioscoop geweest om de nieuwe Nederlandse horrorfilm ‘Vleesdag' te kijken. JP zag ook de nieuwe Dracula film van Luc Besson en William gaf de film ‘Joy Ride' na 24 jaar toch nog een kans. We trokken de klassieker ‘Sunset Boulevard' uit de kast, die we beiden niet hebben gezien. In de Special gaan we verder met de Elm Street franchise en zijn bij het vijfde deel ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street - The Dream Child' en we beantwoorden natuurlijk ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. animatiefilms uit de jaren 70 en 80, films waarvan er één scene kan worden verwijderd of ingekort, bij welke filmopnames we graag hadden willen zijn, de Kijkwijzer en verkeersborden.

An interview podcast giving the inside scoop of what happens in comedy scenes across the globe and dedicated to speaking to the mavericks in the comedy world. Today, we're honored to sit down with Lee Delong—a true force of nature in the world of performing arts. Lee is an accomplished American and French actress, director, writer, and a globally renowned clown teacher. From sharing scenes with Mia Farrow in Luc Besson's films to winning awards for her one-woman show in Sarajevo, her career is a masterclass in creativity and resilience. Here is an overview of what we discussed:[[03:40]] Lecoq School finishing and my journey into Europe [[05:52]][[05:52]] Teaching 1000 clowns and finding your clown [[07:26]][[05:52]] Finding your voice [[08:18]][[09:43]] Your clown is you [[11:01]][[17:46]] Clowning and basic clown archetypes [[23:17]][[23:17]] Why do you need to know your universe as a clown and history of clown [[31:20]][[31:47]] The different types of clowns [[36:13]][[58:13]] Different archetypes of clown [[01:01:34]][[01:01:34]] How things change if your a professional clown [[01:04:35]][[01:04:35]] You need a boss for things to work [[01:07:07]]If you would like to know more about Lee Delong, you can go on her website at https://www.leedelong.com/.

Polemiche a non finire per la prima "attrice" creata con l'Intelligenza Artificiale: Tilly Norwood ha scatenato la protesta del sindacato degli attori, comprensibilmente preoccupato per la potenziale "invasione di campo". In realtà però c'è chi pensa che non sia poi una situazione tanto diversa da quella dei cartoni animati più evoluti… e a proposito di animazione "computer generated", continua a stupire il fenomenale successo del cartone "KPop Demon Hunters", che miscelando fantasy, arti marziali e demoni in salsa KPop, è il film più visto nella storia di Netflix! Da 15 settimane è ininterrottamente in Top 10. Spostando il focus su persone in carne e ossa, è in arrivo su Netflix la docu-serie "Victoria Beckham" incentrata sulla vita della stilista ed ex pop star. La rubrica "5 cose che non potete non sapere" è questa volta dedicata alla serie tv "Suits", legal drama di grande successo, nota anche per la presenza di Meghan Markle nel cast. Lo spunto per ripescare questo titolo è il recentissimo arrivo su Sky dello spin-off "Suits LA". Ma sono molte le novità in arrivo su Sky: si parte da “Love Bugs” il reboot con Brenda Lodigiani e Michele Rosiello, per arrivare all'annuncio che Gabriele Muccino firmerà una sua serie su Gucci. E a proposito di celebrities, la serie "Call my agent" torna con la sua terza stagione, mentre guardando alle serie d'importazione, sempre su Sky cresce l'attesa per la release di "It: Welcome to Derry". La serie horror, tratta dal celebre libro di Stephen King, sarà presentata in anteprima a Lucca Comics and Games. E proprio a Lucca, saranno presenti anche i protagonisti maschili di "Stranger Things" ed una notevole lista di altri attori e registi e di nuovi titoli che verranno presentati, tra i quali Luc Besson e Matilda De Angelis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mea Culpa In Pédo Veritas.En salle le : 30 juillet 2025 D'une durée de : 2h 09minÀ la réal : Luc BessonAu cast : Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz, Zoë BleuTitre original : Dracula: A Love TaleAu XVe siècle, le Prince Vladimir renie Dieu après la perte brutale et cruelle de son épouse. Il hérite alors d'une malédiction : la vie éternelle. Il devient Dracula. Condamné à errer à travers les siècles, il n'aura plus qu'un seul espoir : celui de retrouver son amour perdu.
Zo is in the 23rd Century (don't ask how he got there; it's not important). The important thing is that he was on a luxury cruise ship the Fhloston Paradise having the time of his life, surrounded by delicacies of every kind and rubbing elbows with some of the most powerful, popular and celebrated beings in the galaxy when, suddenly, the ship was boarded by Mangalore pirates and gunfire was everywhere. Being terrified, Zo found a table in a ballroom that he could hide behind and hope that someone would come along and defend him and the rest of the helpless passengers or that the criminal aliens would just grab what they wanted and go away. While he was hiding a man in a torn and bloodied tuxedo followed by a very skittish galaxy wide famous DJ, Ruby Rhod ,walked passed him. They seemed to know what they were doing. Hopefully, this would be all over soon.

En Dracula: A Love Tale, el director francés conocido por su estilo visual inconfundible y su manejo del ritmo narrativo, nos presenta una reinterpretación que promete romance, misterio e incluso acción.En este video, analizamos todo lo que rodea a esta nueva apuesta y las sensaciones que deja esta versión. Sin entrar en spoilers, discutimos si esta producción logra aportar algo nuevo al mito o si se queda en una propuesta más dentro de la larga lista de adaptaciones que ha tenido el vampiro más famoso del mundo.¿Logra Luc Besson capturar la esencia del Conde y, al mismo tiempo, darle un giro moderno? ¿O se pierde en su propia ambición? Acompáñanos en esta reseña para descubrirlo y conversar sobre lo que esta película significa para el género y para el propio legado de Dracula.Si te gusta este podcast y deseas apoyarnos a mejorar nuestro equipo o invitarnos unos tacos puedes apoyarnos en
We schedule another deep cut themed week titled No Holds Barred: Darren Gaskell (HD Movie Podacst) rejoins and helps do a mini-outline of The Transporter movie/TV franchise. Was this essentially the movie version of the whole GTA formula of delivering packages and getting to checkpoints in time while outrunning the police and rival criminal affiliates? What themes from Luc Besson's earlier action-crime movies come into play for this? Is Frank Martin still the best franchise character Jason Statham has portrayed to date?

Aujourd'hui, Luc Besson, réalisateur, était l'invité dans les Grandes gueules.
In this conversation, filmmaker James DeMonaco discusses his journey from writing the comedy “Jack” and working with Francis Ford Coppola and Luc Besson, to creating the successful “Purge” franchise. Up next is his latest, a psychological horror film, “The Home” starring Pete Davidson, which is releasing theatrically July 25th via Roadside Attractions. DeMonaco shares insights on genre forms in screenwriting - and a 30 year career as a Hollywood screenwriter, the challenges of production, and the importance of audience engagement. He reflects on his experiences with notable actors and directors, and the creative process behind his films, emphasizing the need for authenticity and emotional connection in storytelling.

“The four of us are on a one-way bullet train to Stupid City” - Andrew on covering this movie for the show On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza does indeed head to Stupid City as we're talking about the really silly, really short, sci-fi thriller, Lucy! How totally great is Choi Min-sik in this movie? Precisely how many seconds is Morgan Freeman standing on-screen? When Lucy gets so smart, why is she still unable to understand and speak multiple languages? With the action and fight choreography being as fun as they are, couldn't we have gotten more of that and less of Morgan Freeman giving that lecture? And do people at the front desk of a Westin care if you're going to eat at the hotel restaurant? PLUS: Lucy visits all the best Times Square chain restaurants and attractions! Lucy stars Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbaek, Lio Tipton, and Choi Min-sik as Mr. Jang; directed by Luc Besson.

"I try to serve life." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host A. J. Black and guest Sam Stokes travel back to 1997 for Luc Besson's eccentric science-fiction spectacular, The Fifth Element. A heady mix of Euro camp, Möebius colour and Hollywood pretensions, Besson's film remains a striking piece of work. But has it dated? Let's find out. Host / Editor A. J.

Die Franzosen können nicht nur Wein und Käse, sie können auch Action. Manchmal ist es Actionkäse, aber manchmal auch ein Gourmethappen wie "Ghettogangz" alias "Banlieue 13" alias "District 13", ein Film, in dem amtlich gekickt, geschossen und explodiert wird, in dem aber vor allem Parkour zelebriert wird, die Kunst der geschmeidigen Fortbewegung über alle Hinternisse hinweg. Luc Besson steht hinter dem Film-Projekt, ein Mann, der französische Action auf ein neues Niveau hob, sei es als Regisseur von "Nikita" und "Leon - Der Profi", aber auch als Produzent von "Transporter", Kiss Of The Dragon" oder der "Taxi"-Reihe. 2004 war "Banlieue 13" in Deutschland noch ein Geheimtipp, heute hingegen ist fast schon wieder etwas in Vergessenheit geraten. Grund genug also fürs Nachtprogramm, diesem europäischen Genre-Highlight eine Bühe zu geben und "Banlieue 13" sowie seinen fünf Jahre später veröffentlichten Nachfolger zu besprechen.Nachtküsse könnt ihr vergeben übernachtprogrammpodcast@gmail.comFolgt uns aufBluesky: @nachtprogramm.bsky.socialInstagramSergejs LetterboxMartins LetterboxUnd besucht:https://www.actionfreunde.de/https://liquid-love.de/forum/Music Intro: https://www.purple-planet.com
It's not even October and we've got monsters on the brain. From Guillermo del Toro's take on Frankenstein to a potentially derivative version of Dracula from Luc Besson (plus some monsters of the human and otherwise categories) we get a bit freaky in this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Este fin de semana, llega a pantallas de cine el famoso "proyecto secreto" que hizo Luc Besson durante la pandemia. Esperamos 5 años y siendo Luc Besson quien es, quizá esperábamos más y otra cosa. "June y John" es una película congraciable pero ¿la mejor versión del cineasta francés? Aqui con machete afilado la partimos en rebanadas para intentar responder esto.Se está llevando a cabo una pequeña muestra de Sundance en México y Reclu ha asistido a las funciones especiales que después llegaran a salas abiertamente. Primeros vistazos a "2000 metros para Andriivka", el nuevo y angustiante documental del periodista ucraniano Mstyslav Chernov ("20 días en Mariupol") que te deja con el estomago en la mano. También se lanzó a ver una opera prima bien interesante que se llama "Plainclothes" de Carmen Emmi. Todo lo que hay en estas dos obras independientes, lo contamos.Primeros vistazos a la serie de Netflix "Sirenas" pero eso da para mucha charla que tendremos para el siguiente episodio.Pase y "deje su amor suyo de sí mismo" para este su podcast de cine favorito.
What's New to Netflix gets into all of the titles for Netflix in May 2025, and it's a lot to cover, so be sure to listen, because you don't want to miss out! Then Scarlett Johansson uses 100% of her brain, leading to all sorts of action mayhem in Luc Besson's Lucy from 2014. Next, we did the first Sicario last month, so now we tackle Sicario: Day of the Soldado from 2018. And finally, Tom Hardy kicks all kinds of ass while also getting his ass kicked in the ass-kicking, Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans from 2025. All of this plus all of the Airport movies, all of the Twilight movies, Vince Vaughn's acting range, betting is cool, football parents, sneaky links, wild robots, and we put the dumb back in Tudum! got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com

Join us and dive headfirst into the chaotic, brain-melting acid trip that is Lucy (2014), Luc Besson's cinematic fever dream starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. Right from the start, we knew we were in for it: bad science, a “sketch services” level plot, and the kind of dialogue that feels like it was written by a dolphin with a grudge. We got the whole gang together to dissect this mess with our usual irreverent flair, roasting everything from the film's lazy international logic to its “USB stick of universal knowledge” ending. Honestly, it was like watching 2001: A Space Odyssey if Kubrick had been blackout drunk and obsessed with PowerPoint transitions. As always, the chaos around the table was half the fun. We went full throttle into the ridiculousness of ScarJo turning into a floating Fred Astaire balloon, controlling time and matter with 20% of her brain (because science), and ultimately becoming “Wi-Fi with titties.” The callbacks and inside jokes were flying faster than Lucy's totally-not-real powers. Between wild tangents about dolphins, King of the Hill, and awkward animal mating montages, it was the most we've ever laughed at a movie that made us question our life choices. The frustration was real though. Dan, our resident physicist, compared the experience to “watching your grandparents get assaulted.” Elise gave us the all-time review of Lucy as “an acid trip with a science fair poster taped to it.” And Manny… well, Manny owned up to nominating this movie after loving it once while, let's say, chemically enhanced. Rewatching it sober? Not so much. We collectively agreed: Lucy was a one-time ride, and even that was one too many. But hey, if you love our affectionate chaos and want to hear us go fully unhinged on a movie that somehow made $469 million worldwide, this episode is an absolute banger. It's the perfect blend of exasperated movie talk, relentless roasting, and pure group therapy. Come for the dolphin trivia, stay for the unfiltered pain. You won't regret listening… just don't watch the movie.

Once cool, now ick. That could describe so many things from 1995, but in this instance it's Luc Besson's thriller about a prepubescent girl and her assassin neighbour. But could it all have been so different? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
