Sorry for posting another random thing here today but I’m searching for new info about it and apparently there is this backlash against Guadagnino right now thanks to an interview, that I actually read MONTHS AGO (someone posted scans somewhere), that was just officially posted on Internet in which he very directly says why he hates a few modern movies including The Revenant, La La Land, The Lobster and Nocturnal Animals! It’s in general a very bitchy but frivolous interview in which he also said he doesn’t like filming, wants his partner to became rich so he doesn’t have to work anymore, wants to see Emmanuel Macron naked, wants to talk with Disney to direct a new version of Bambi (which he considers a gay film, OF COURSE!!!) and that he doesn’t like to talk with actors because they don’t have real personalities (except Tilda, of course!). In some ways it’s very funny and to be sincere I didn’t take it very seriously the first time I read it but apparently Twitter is angry at him! There are old interviews of him attacking practically all leading Italian filmmakers working right now and another in which he sounds very cynical about Xavier Dolan (who doesn’t seem to had taken it seriously anyway! Good for him!) and others but people who claimed were his fans are just discovering he can be or just sounds very bitchy in written interviews!!! And I said written because in audio he is charming and entertaining but most important knowledgeable about cinema, a little like Del Toro except that I doubt Del Toro can say publicly something negative against anyone, except the Weinsteins, of course!
Apparently he also said, in another interview, that he would had liked to direct Black Panther and Creed and someone asked to the real director what he thinks about it!!! I don’t know the context of this other interview but I doubt it’s serious! C’mon!!! Anyway I read two disapproving tweets. One of them referring to his attitude as typical of “white men narcissism” I wanted to told her that even when he is not African American so he doesn’t look like the characters in those two movies he is NOT white! His mother is from Algeria so he actually has African blood. Arabic, of course but still not “white”! Of course I didn’t say anything because Twitter discussions are dumb and useless but also because the point seems to be once again that you can’t understand any human feeling when it’s not about your own tribe and being joking is never an excuse for people without sense of humor!
Another crazy day in social media! I hope we could have real news soon instead of hysteria!!!

Thanks for all you do to keep us updated on the new productions.
As for this Twitter tempest... twitter and tumblr aren’t really conducive to intelligent debates so just consider the source and don’t even try to argue with anyone there. It’s manufactured outrage by people who don’t have enough “drama” in their lives, which will be forgotten about when the next “big issue” comes along.

Could it be that she just isn’t mentioned because they are only focusing on the two main protagonists? It may be official and everything but it really isn’t a detailed write up about the film and JG and BC are the two biggest draws if they were trying to get people interested in buying the distribution rights.

That's probably it.

Maybe. They originally said there was an important female role but they never said if it has the same prominence that the male roles.
I think Williams said they will begin the shooting in March but Gyllenhaal had another project so I guess, if true, it should be at the ending of the month. We should have more info soon. There is not too much noise but considering it’s an indie it’s not a surprise.

Even if her role were important in the context of the film, that wouldn’t necessarily mean that it would be used to promote the film to potential distributors (which seemed to be what this listing was focused on). The really big names of JG and BC would be the ones used to do that, I would think. They were, after all, the priority names that were first secured for the film and there was a reason for that I assume.
I’m not saying she isn’t a well-known and respected actress, she has garnered a lot of nominations and awards. It’s just that I don’t think her “name” carries the same world-wide cache as JG or BC, IMO. I don’t know any of this for sure of course, I am just speculating and it’s just an opinion. BTW I really hope she is in the film because I like what I have seen of her work. I loved her in “Synecdoche, New York”, “My Week With Marilyn”, and “Shutter Island” and she was pretty good in “Manchester by the Sea” and “Blue Valentine” (better than the actual films).
