'The Lost City': Sandra Bullock Says Women Won't Be Invited to Franchise Table (Exclusive)

Sandra Bullock says women are "generally not invited" to work on major franchise blockbusters, which is why she's particularly proud of original films like The Lost City.

In the Nee Brothers' epic adventure, she plays romance novelist Loretta Sage, who is stranded in the jungle after being kidnapped for her archeology skills by Daniel Radcliffe's eccentric billionaire.

Bullock, who is also a producer on the project, tells Yahoo that working on a major film that isn't based on a novel, comic book, or other film was "more than" appealing. She added, "Nothing I've done has been intellectual property."

"Women are generally not invited"
“Women are generally not invited unless they belong to the second or third row. It's only recently that they have their own spinoffs.” In 2018, Bullock starred in Ocean's 8, the female spin-off in the Ocean's Eleven franchise, alongside Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and more.

It was frustrating that there was nothing to compare working on the film with, Bullock said. But at the same time, it also spurred her on to "prove it to everyone." Namely "that something was created here that is worth people's time."

She continued, "It's entertainment. we are clowns We are professional clowns. Our job is to provide entertainment."

Bullock's character in "The Lost City" is joined in the jungle by the somewhat dopey cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who flies to her to rescue her from the clutches of the villain played by Radcliffe.

Given Bullock and Tatum's remarkable comedic skills, it's not surprising that they were given the freedom to go overboard in their scenes together: "We were given permission to do whatever we wanted to do. Most of it didn't work. We thought we were hilarious most of the time," Bullock said

"You want the feeling of improvisation"
“You want the feeling of improvisation. We had incredible lyrics that were written in such a way that we quickly felt like we were improvising. I would say it was about 50/50.”

In the wake of Uncharted and other recent adventure blockbusters, one of Hollywood's oldest genres seems to be returning to the big screen. Bullock blames "cynicism and hubris" for the muted response to action-adventure stories in recent decades.

She added: "I think we took ourselves too seriously and forgot that the purpose of entertainment is to be entertained and to forget about everything else for a while. Maybe our cynicism has diminished a bit after being at home for so long.”

To the death of Michael Degen: success with a lot of character

He was known not only from "Donna Leon" as an elegant grand seigneur with gray temples. Now the popular character actor Michael Degen has died at the age of 90.

He could be the "Führer" Adolf Hitler in the television film "Geheime Reichssache" in 1987 - and not much later the bon vivant surrounded by women in the advertisement for a traditional Cologne perfume: Michael Degen, who, as has now become known, died on Saturday at the age of 90 died years ago, was always good for a surprise as an actor and maneuvered with amazing skill between character subject and ratings Sunday films à la Pilcher on ZDF. "We mourn and bow to a person and artist who touched and carried away with his warmth and enthusiasm, and whose multifaceted work will remain," said the Rowohlt publishing house in Berlin on Tuesday.

With his autobiography Not All Were Murderers, filmed by ARD in 2006, Degen, who as a Jew survived the Nazis in hiding in Berlin, became even more famous than before. He was last seen in the cinema in 2018 in Florian Frerichs' historical drama "The Last Meal", in 2019 he had his last television role in the "Donna Leon" film "Ewige Jugend". Degen also proved his double talent with the biographical novel "Family Ties" about the youngest Thomas Mann son, Michael Mann.

Films with Michael Degen, whom almost everyone knows as the vain Vice-Questore Patta from 15 films of the ARD crime thriller "Donna Leon", are very often a tightrope walk between melodrama and thriller or even a doctor's novel. In one of these films, "The Wild Girl", Degen was already a graying psychiatrist in the 90s who doubted the meaning of his profession. A hard-to-educate girl of animalistic wildness helped to solve the doctor's dilemma, a love affair developed without a happy ending, the viewer inevitably had to think of the sad end of Heinrich Mann's "Professor Unrat".
A good actor in a bad series?
"I could never be a psychiatrist myself, because I would never want to penetrate so deeply into other people's souls and private lives," Degen said on the occasion of the film. Nevertheless, he repeatedly delivered impressive psychostudies early on on the theater stage. Under Ingmar Bergman he played "Hamlet" in 1983, in Peter Zadek's "Ghetto" he embodied the chairman of the Vilnius Jewish Council, in Vienna's "Theater in der Josefstadt" he shone in 1988 as Schnitzler's "Professor Bernardi". Michael Degen even took his first acting steps in 1954 in Bertolt Brecht's "Berliner Ensemble".

In the 1980s, television films such as Dieter Wedel's "Mittags auf dem rote Platz", Egon Monk's "Die Geschwister Oppermann" and Peter Beauvais' "The Eternal Feelings" made him known to a wide audience. In artist circles, however, his engagements in popular TV series such as "Die Drombuschs" or "Auto Fritze" caused incredulous shaking of the head: How can an actor of this quality sell himself so cheaply? Degen himself saw it rather calmly: the pay was good, and besides - that's when he became almost aware of the program - "a good actor has to take part in series today in order to raise their generally poor level a bit".

The tireless warner
Michael Degen appreciated his later privileges. Once he barely escaped the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, which his father did not survive after being tortured. After the end of the war it seemed impossible for him to live in Germany. At the age of 17 he went to Israel, did military service and acted in the theatre. Due to severe language problems, however, he soon returned to the Federal Republic. Since then, threatening letters have been part of the artist's everyday life. In 1986 one said: "We will shoot you on the open stage".

An announcement that forced Michael Degen to put his engagement at the Hamburger Schauspielhaus on hold. Experiences like this left a lasting impression on him: "Tomorrow it may already be 'Jews banned on television' and I'm no longer able to fulfill the contracts," said the star, who was a tireless warner.

Degen, father of four, lived with his third wife in Hamburg. He died there last Saturday, as the Rowohlt publishing house announced on Tuesday.

“365 days: that day”: the sequel to the film that was all the rage in 2020 arrives

This second part will premiere on Netflix. S*x abounds again in this continuation of the relationship between Laura and Massimo. The original film was accused of promoting r*pe culture

The film 365 days premiered on Netflix in 2020 and returned shocking numbers. It entered the daily Top 10 in more than 90 countries and was ranked on Google as the fourth most searched movie in the world for the year.

With these numbers it was almost impossible for there not to be a second part and this is how 365 days now arrives: that day. Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and Massimo (Michele Morrone) were the protagonists of this film in which s*

 

x scenes abounded in the middle of a gangster fight. In the sequel we will see this couple again, but the relationship between the two will not be rosy.

Jealousy and betrayal will be integrated into this bond, and to this will be added the complexity that Massimo faces with his family. The appearance of Nacho (Simone Susinna), a mysterious man, in Laura's life, will generate a new conflict.

Blanka Lipinska, author of the novels on which both films are based, told Variety about this new story and the role that Laura will play: “This is, without a doubt, a story about a woman. About how we can be naive, blind; about how much we love; about how we learn from our mistakes and have the opportunity to correct them.”

365 days: that day is directed by Barbara Białowąs and Tomasz Mandes, while the script was left to Mojca Tirs, Blanka Lipińska and Mandes. Also returning to the story are Olga (Magdalena Lamparska), Laura's best friend and her most faithful confidante, and Domenico (Otar Saralidze), Massimo's lieutenant.

In Sieklucka's words, 365 Days: That Day "offers a new look at the character of Laura, who has matured" and "goes much deeper to tell us more about the relationship between the lovers." In the sequel, she added, "she is stronger." Perhaps this comment derives from the memory of the reactions to the first film, accused of contributing to rape culture due to its scenes of sexual violence. Although Netflix was asked to remove it from its catalog, the platform left it arguing that it was not an exclusive production but an acquired fiction and that it has a warning about the content at the beginning.

But it seems that this sequel will not be the only one. In the words of its author, we could have more chapters on the future of Laura and Massimo. “I created a story that is now known all over the world. I am proud of the actors for their dedication to the project and proud of the team that worked so hard on the film. One thing I can promise you is that it's not over yet!” she announced.
