Great (Ridley) Scott! Casey Affleck joins THE KIND ONE!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We're seeing a return to the period crime dramas... Michael Mann has PUBLIC ENEMIES in the works with Depp and Bale, Clint Eastwood has CHANGELING with Angelina Jolie and now Ridley Scott has THE KIND ONE, with Casey Affleck in the lead. He won't be the title character, though. Affleck will play an amnesiac working for a gangster in 1930s LA. The gangster is known as The Kind One... an ironic moniker as he will be far from kind.
Warner Bros is releasing the project, based on a book by Tom Epperson, who will also pen the screenplay. Thoughts?

is the man.

The debate sucked worse than casey affleck'sn awful rasp.
-
No more debates. Please.

I think it's about time. Or maybe he's smart not to. It's hard to top the perfection of Blade Runner. But still...
-
Ridley Scott worries me. He's like an Oliver Stone clone, making period pieces that are generally rife with bullshit.
-
Hey Harry & co.! How's that idea coming along; the one about starting a petition to save Spike Jonze's "Where the Wild Things Are?"

I thought he was fantastic in gone baby gone.i still have yet to see taojjbtcrf but i hear his performance in that is brilliant
-
All seem to add a movie to their plate each day. And when is QT ever gonna get to Inglorious Bastards?
-
according to a few reports but not many sites have picked up on it so could be bollocks.

which is the last '30's crime movie i remember being released. I also remember it sucking a major amount of ass.

Granted, our expectations of them are always high, since they've both made their share of great movies. I just wish they'd go back to basics, especially Tony. Drop that acid-trip bullshit and go back to making movies like The Last Boyscout and Crimson Tide, man. Old-school action movies are making a comeback. Go watch John Rambo and take a few notes, Tony. The time is now, motherfucker. You're not getting any younger.

Damn You Michael Bay

Ridley was going to be the one doing a new Dune...I'd love to see him do a new SF movie...
-
as gone baby gone?
-
...if it means that Ridley Scott never ever directs Blood Meridian.
-
If we could only hear what he's saying...
-
He says it's because he can't find a good sci-fi script but I know that's B.S. because he's been saying it for years now. The truth is he knows it will be nigh impossible to top such feats as Alien and Blade Runner, and he may be right. Why climb the mountain a third time? As much as I would like to see him take another crack at it, he could end up embarrassing himself badly.

Just saying.
