Podcast appearances and mentions of Rupert Friend

From Oscar-winning director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Rushmore, The Royal Tannenbaums) comes his latest uniquely framed and acted adventure about a wealthy businessman (Oscar-Winner Benicio Del Toro) who's on a dangerous mission to not only preserve his wealth but also to possibly reconcile with his daughter played by newcomer Mia Threapleton.  Alongside his latest assistant (and insect expert) Bjorn (Michael Cera), they travel around the world encountering a genuinely unique assortment of rival businessmen and/or potential assassins played by an All-Star cast including Tom Hanks, Rupert Friend, Scarlett Johannsen, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, and Benedict Cumberbatch.  And what results is a colorful, quirky, and symettrical adventure which could only come from the mind of Wes Anderson.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Send us a textOn our 107th podcast, we here at the Triple FFF thought we'd try to once again attempt relevance and discuss a current big release, this time Wes Anderson's 2025 father-daughter high stakes business and espionage caper The Phoenician Scheme starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Scarlet Johansson, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend and Benedict Cumberbatch. As well as Mr. Anderson's troupe of good-natured bit players and walk ons which includes Bill Murray, F. Murray Abraham, Wilem Dafoe and now Charlotte Gainsbourg.  I'm your host Gino Caputi and my guests this week are the always dependable show regulars Joe Field, David Johnson DMD and Gordon Alex RobertsonThe Phoenician Scheme's plot unfolds as follows: After surviving yet another assassination attempt, this time with a glimpse of the afterlife, wealthy arms dealer and industrialist Anatole Zsa-Zsa Korda realizes his days are numbered and possibly without purpose. Hoping to reconnect with his estranged daughter Liesl—now on the verge of taking her final vows as a Catholic nun—he names her the sole heir to his estate. In exchange for long-withheld truths about her mother's murder, Korda convinces Liesl to accompany him on a whirlwind journey to secure funding from several colorfully shady investors for his grand, multi-layered Phoenician Scheme—plans for which are ingeniously stored in a series of shoeboxes.Where does this film rank within Wes Anderson's collection of stories about larger-than-life, big talking fathers of dubious emotional and financial sincerity?  Find out!Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/QVYj2zTif5o

Der phönizische Meisterstreich | Viele Stars, noch mehr Symmetrie Es wird wieder einmal symmetrisch – Wes Anderson kehrt am 29. Mai mit seinem neuen Film „Der phönizische Meisterstreich“ auf die Kinoleinwand zurück. In der skurrilen Komödie spielt Benicio del Toro einen exzentrischen Geschäftsmann, der gemeinsam mit seiner Tochter Liesl (gespielt von Mia Threapleton), einer Nonne, und einem Insektenexperten einen raffinierten Coup plant. Wie Schlogger, Stu und ihre Gästin Laura vom WILD Magazin den Film fanden, verraten wir an dieser Stelle nicht. Stattdessen nutzen wir den Raum, um all die illustren Namen zu nennen, die sich im hochkarätigen Ensemble tummeln. Also: einmal tief Luft holen, denn es folgt ein echtes Star-Feuerwerk.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Wes Anderson's latest film - The Phoenician Scheme - hit UK cinemas this past weekend and will have a slow international rollout over the next month or so. I am a bit of a Wes Anderson noob. I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox obsessively when I was younger and have seen The Grand Budapest Hotel but other than that, I don't have an exact recollection of whether I've seen any of his other movies. Because of the early release here, I thought I'd give The Phoenician Scheme a shot, especially because Anderson has such a passionate following and the plot description seemed interesting to me. Is it worth seeing at the cinema?

Ian and Michael from Lord Of Adders Black: A Black mo baadder Podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Ian's choice The Death of Stalin. The Death of Stalin (2017) is a satirical black comedy written and directed by Armando (The Thick of It) Iannucci. In the wake of the death of Joseph Stalin, the remaining members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union bicker and fight over who will succeed him. Its ensemble cast includes Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Paddy Considine, Rupert Friend, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko, Michael Palin, Andrea Riseborough, Dermot Crowley, Paul Chahidi, Adrian McLoughlin, Paul Whitehouse, and Jeffrey Tambor. The Death of Stalin attempts to condense a very complex period of what was then the Soviet Union into 1 hour and 47 minutes with added satirical comedy. Its sheer number of key players adds to its denseness. It's tricky balance of humour and people being shot in the head won't be for everyone and the recommendability scores reflected this. The Death of Stalin scores 4.23 overall.

On this episode, Matt & Eric review Companion starring Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén and Rupert Friend.

We finally received an update on the second of the two WandaVision spinoffs in development, with the news that Marvel has enlisted Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas as showrunner for the untitled Vision series. Details remain sparse, but we know that Paul Bettany will reprise his role as the albino synthezoid and Marvel Studios is eyeing a 2026 Disney+ release. The 2024 summer movie season continues to struggle as newcomers Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and The Garfield Movie, essentially tied for the number one spot for the holiday weekend, each debuting at a muted $31 million; the worst Memorial Day weekend at the box office in almost 30 years. Furiosa particularly came in lower than estimates as a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road and receiving the same B+ Cinemascore. Advance tickets for Deadpool & Wolverine became available last Monday, resulting in an estimated 200,000 tickets sold for roughly $9 million and enough to break the record for first-day, R-rated ticket sales. Subsequently, at still two months out, it leads 2024 in all presales with all signs pointing to it being the year's first $100 million plus opening weekend.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adam Wingard, director of the last two MonsterVerse films, will not return for the third installment due to timing issues. The split is amicable, with a future return possible. Netflix revealed a first look at Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher. Hemsworth replaces Henry Cavill for the final two seasons, with season 4's release date currently to be determined.

Damon Lindelof, one of the co-creators of Lost and The Watchmen is officially behind the creative team for the upcoming Green Lantern series for DC Studios. Chris Mundy, the showrunner behind Netflix's crime series Ozark, as well as long-time DC comic author Tom King round out the creative team. Netflix released the first trailer for Beverly Hills: Axel F, featuring Eddie Murphy returning as Axel Foley. The new film, following the original 1984 release and its sequels, will stream starting July 3. Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel to Showtime's Dexter announced casting of Patrick Gibson playing young Dexter, Molly Brown; his sister Debra, and Christian Slater portraying their adoptive father. The premiere date is yet to be announced. Warner Brothers dropped a new trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice that features a more extended look at the cast. The film debuts in theaters on September 6. Rian Johnson announces his next Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, releasing on Netflix next year with Daniel Craig reprising his role and lots of other big Hollywood names being added to the cast daily, including Fleabag's Andrew Scott.

They are The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, The Rat Catcher, The Swan, and Poison starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Rupert Friend, Richard Ayoade, and Ben Kingsley.

The Swan is about a 15-year-old boy who is tormented and bullied by two kids who are going around and killing birds with a hunting rifle. Poison is about two British soldiers stationed in India.

Following the death of her mother and pressures from her two younger siblings, Peggy is forced into trying to find a missing woman seeking the reward advertised by her brother. With the help of private investigator Harvey (Brad Garrett) she works to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of Guru Bob's (Rupert Friend) wife. In searching for the answers, she uncovers a massive forged art ring and learns that Guru Bob's former wife was a master art forger. Working through the trauma of her mother's death, Peggy begins working on a play to perform at her side job with a woman she meets on the bus who dramatically resembles her late mother (Bernadette Peters) and tries to drum up more business for her old west town theme park. On top of all of this Guru Bob is being extorted for money from the fake paintings he has sold to maintain his lifestyle, and Peggy's ex-husband Denny (Matt Dillon) is released early from prison and is trying to re-kindle their relationship while taking to criminal endeavors of his own. Through various misunderstandings and sleights, Peggy brings Guru Bob to the theme park to have him taken in by her PI friend, only for him to run off into the desert. Meanwhile, Peggy embracing her misleading tactics at her job, steps into a massive canon aimed at a large target as she works to do the right thing for the first time in her life.

Rupert Friend who plays the Grand Inquisitor, talks about playing the character in Obi-Wan Kenobi and reveals he deliberately didn't watch Rebels in order to portray the character in a fresh new way. I disagree with this but hey what do I know, I'm not an actor. With Dave Filoni and Deb Chow involved, I'm sure it'll be fine, but I feel it would be even better if all actors caught up on Rebels and the prequels. Ewan and Hayden Christensen rewatched the prequels and the Clone Wars (Hayden) to prepare for the role they originally portrayed, so I don't think newcomers should take liberties like this...but hey...I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just a nit picker.

On this special bonus episode of Cinemaholics, we discuss Asteroid City, the latest movie from writer/director Wes Anderson. His new feature has a few things in common with his previous one, The French Dispatch, particularly when it comes to his ability to convince almost every recognizable actor in Hollywood to show up. And show up they did for this quirky sci-fi romantic comedy drama about a Junior Stargazer convention in a 50s desert town where events take an alienating turn, so to speak. Asteroid City was directed and written by Wes Anderson and is based on a story by Anderson and Roman Coppola. The ensemble cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis, Steve Park, Rupert Friend, Maya Hawke, Steve Carell, Matt Dillon, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Margot Robbie, Tony Revolori, Jake Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum. The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and opens in limited release on June 16 through Focus Features. It will later go wide on June 23.

I disagree with this but hey what do I know, I'm not an actor. With Dave Filoni and Deb Chow involved, I'm sure it'll be fine, but I feel it would be even better if all actors caught up on Rebels and the prequels.  Ewan and Hayden Christensen rewatched the prequels and the Clone Wars (Hayden) to prepare for the role they originally portrayed, so I don't think newcomers should take liberties like this...but hey...I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm just a nit picker.
