Summer Camp

“Summer Camp” Trailer, Poster and Images

Castille Landon directed Summer Camp, which tells the story of Nora, played by Diane Keaton, Ginny, played by Kathy Bates and Mary, played by Alfe Woodard. They have been best friends since being inseparable at summer camp.

As the years have passed, they’ve seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others excitedly.

Summer Camp

Each of their lives might not be where they’d imagined, but one thing is for sure — Nora, Ginny, and Mary need each other, and summer camp reminds them why.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” Trailer and Poster

Joker takes a musical journey with Gaga.

Todd Phillips directs Joker: Folie à Deux with Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the Joker. Lady Gaga, as Harley Quinn, brings magic to the movie. Together, the film is supposedly a jukebox musical, according to Variety.

Phillips told Variety that this assumption is accurate, but the film features a wealth of song and dance numbers. Still, very little information is known about the sequel’s storyline.

Other films directed by Todd Phillips:

Joker

“Kill” Trailer and Images

Army commando Amrit, played by Lakshya, finds out his true love Tulika, played by Tanya Maniktala, becomes engaged against her will. He boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage.

But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani, played by Raghav Juyal, terrorize innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him — turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat directs Kill, a high-adrenaline film with riveting stunts. Most recognize Bhat for his work in Hindi film productions. The cast includes Hars Chhaya, Ashish Vidyarthi, Abhishek Chauhan and Parth Tiwari.

Disney's Tiger

Disney’s “Tiger” Trailer and Interviews

There is hardly any information about Disneynature’s Tiger movie. The trailer says most of what you need to know. The production went to India’s jungles and filmed tigers.

I included this interview because the co-directors explain what the film is about and where it was filmed.
Conti’s enthusiasm and joy of working on this film come through in this generic interview.

I am sure there is more to the story, but Lanthimos films appear skewed with abbreviated characters. As the reviews appear, the storyline becomes hashed out.

The cast includes Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.

Other movies by Lanthimos:

The Favorite

Poor Things

The Lobster
