Robert Eggers to direct ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’
Kinda gay
>>223349334This guy only has the one gimmick
>>223349334I don't care about this guy at all
>>223349334Based but I hope he takes on Dickens work next
>The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde EnglishQuite a bold decision considering Old English ceased to be spoken centuries before Romeo & Juliet was written.
fuck euro this shit, he needs to make a movie set in America like Witch and Lighthouse
>>223349334>we'll have a bunch of blacks and jews talking olde english aren't you chuds HAPPY?
>>223349441And it's brilliant
if vvervvülf sucks i'm never trusting this asshole again
>>223349470yeah what the fuck is this article talking about
>>223349480That's not his style at all
Surely we need another adaptation of that story.
>>223349520>indian in The Vvitch>black guy in Nosferatu
>>223349334Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English thoughbeit. Even if the dialogue was changed to reflect the time period of R + J (maybe in the 14th century) then it would still be Middle English
>>223349334>it's the legit DiscussingFilmGuess I'll have to be the nerd and say actually.... it's probably gonna be spoken in Early Modern English, actual Old English is extremely different from what is English today
>>223349646I mean they're italians anyways who cares.
>>223349334Juliet should be played by a kpop idol.
HISTORICALLY ACCURATE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE IT WILL BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEpeople in verona will be talking english and it will be dark and grim and have a grey tint as this was the style at the time
>>223349470>In fair Verona where we lay our scenethe deadend of nolanisms and neggerisms a historically accurate film about Italian people speaking Chaucerian english (not a spoken language but a written register of the literati)
>>223349334Utter waste of his talents.
>>223349566>indian in The VvitchWhat? You mean that group of native americans who were seen for like 2 seconds in the first few minutes of the film?
>>223349441Setting movies in eras specifically so he doesn't have to film a car?
>>223349334This is suppose to be "playing it safe"?
>>223351093> The human form and voice of Black Phillip in The Witch (2015) were portrayed by Daniel Malik (formerly known as Wahab Chaudhry or Daniel Chaudhry), a Canadian actor and model of South Asian descent.
Mehhhh he should try to run from that overused slop.
>>223349441Being esoteric AF?
>>223349486It's currently getting praise for having a "mute" protagonist, so I'm not holding my breath
>>223351154Sooner or later most directors end up adapting classic literature or Shakespeare because they desperately want to be respected by the "high culture" people.
>>223349334I don't want to get a bad perspective on live from someone who married a shrink. He's unfit for the story.
>>223349470>The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde EnglishOh fuck off
Wait, the thread used for the hem of Romeo's vest is completely wrong. Eggers has failed his mission for realism.
>>223349470They already did this in that shitty Baz Luhrman film.
>>223349441>one gimmickMaking Kino
>>223349334this guy is a one trick pony meme already, he's done for good. cinema is dead once again.
>>223349334I thought it took place in Italy
>>223354344yes, it's set in 14th century italy, where they spoke 7th century olde english.
Linklater would be a better pick.
>>223349334>Olde English1. Romeo and Juliet is set in fictionalized Italy2. Shakespeare wrote and spoke Early Modern English, not Olde English which would be incomprehensible to most contemporary English speakers
>>223349646The story itself could be set in old English times thobeit
> A horror director making a non horror film.Has this ever turned out good? This guy is known for one thing which is horror and putting historical accurate white people where they need to be. It will flop.
>>223354482All kinos flop. You aren’t ready for it yet, but your kids will love it
>>223354319That wasn't even Olde English because Shakespeare didn't write in that, meaning this is basically going to be fanfiction.
>>223354344Would be kino if Eggers had them all speaking Latin.
>>223354456The story is in FUCKING ITALY
>>223354682is that better or worse than regular italy
>>223349334why are retards so one-shot by early modern english
>>223349334Bro no way he should have done Richard III, its been like 25 years since the McKellen version, Olde English Dick 3 would sound amazing. Oh well its too late tho. I just think this will just be too pretentious a love story with a silly archaic English form. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYiYd9RcK5M
>>223356185Am I crazy or is Olde English seriously an American Accent a lot of the time? That is wild to know that our language is a lot like the olde english was.
>>223356218not a single bit of that guy reading hamlet was an american accent. it sounded more irish than anything.
How do people understand Olde English? It drives me mad trying to make sense of that nonsense.
>>223349441And its making pure unadulterated kino>invents the oner>orchestrates oner shots>invents videogame cinematography>makes /tv/ seethe with his innovations>father of the A24 aesthetic>exposes toxic masculinity>takes vikings back from white supremacists>groundbreaking videogame shots like Gears of War>appreciated by both plebs, midwits, and high IQ simultaneously>routinely analyzed on r/truefilm and r/criterion>invited multiple times to the Criterion closet to show off his taste>legendary top 10 list of cinema.>beloved across the entire world except for two autists on /tv/>invents bone chilling slow burn horror>creates video game cinematography>composes oner shots>conceives Eggersian color theory>innovates historical aesthetic realism>designs the Egger-oner>pioneers folkloric surrealism>revolutionizes grimdark lightingpure fuckin genius. Bow down to the king /tv/.
>>223356699you spent more than 5 minutes writing a retarded post on 4chan so you could bait people to leave yousThink about that
>>223349470The retarded intern probably wrote it down wrong, they almost certainly meant original pronunciation.
>>223356760he baitied you, so he won
>>223351152>Indian playing a literal demonI fail to see how that is bad casting
will eggers commit to the bit and have underage actors or is he just a hack?
>>223349334I liked this dudes Nosferatu (although never saw the original) so I might check this out
>>223349470I never actually saw romeo and Juliet but wasn't it a period piece? Set well before it was written
>>223356185Only Shakespeare play I have seen is midsummer nights dream (although I did see the movie Gnomeo and Juliet) he should do that.
>>223349334He can't stop winning
>>223349334Oh Christ. Can't wait for the brown hordes to suddenly have opinions about Shakespeare plays they couldn't understand in high school.
>>223349334Kinda boring ngl
>>223349470I'm sure there will be nudity in see-through gowns again, Romeo showing VPL and ripped abs, etc.
223356699Dum ESL
>>223349334>Olde EnglishIt will flop hard.
>>223358005Analphabets shouldn't watch movies either way.Decades ago any analphabet would have had no problem with that btw. What kind of retard would want those stories spoken in modernshit languange?
If Nosferatu is anything to go by, he doesn't understand romance at all
>>223349334the story's set in Italy.
>>223349480Youre severely delusional
>>223354482I mean his viking film wasn't horror either and that was fine. Don't know what he wants with an overdone and overadapted piece of schlock like Romeo and Julia though.
Is he going to do Othello eventually?
>>223349480Eggers is the one director known for all-white casts you fucking victim complex mongoloid
Who is Defoe playing?
>>223349334they should be speaking italian, embarassing coming from mr. historical accuracy
>>223350185Onions!
>>223358209No you are
Americans will get Aneurysms hearing olde english. Do you niggers even read in shools anymore or is everything a big zoo nowadays??
>>223358394some weird magical bum in the sewers, juliet goes to to abort a baby
>>223349334Holy kino. This guy is the best living director under 50, or in their 40s.
>>223349334most pretentious director to direct most pretentious movie
