Abu Bakr Shawky on Egyptian Dad, Austrian Mother

Egyptian-Austrian filmmaker Abu Bakr Shawky (Yommedine, Hajjan) is back. After debuting movies at Cannes and Toronto, he world premiered his latest, The Stories, at the 29th edition of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) in Estonia on Sunday. Given the reputation he has developed with his past works, including 2018’s Yommedine being Egypt’s international Oscar submission, the writer-director’s new movie drew a big crowd, which used every second of a Q&A following the premiere screening to hear more about how The Stories came to be. Shawky and his creative team cinematically imagine the story of his parents – his father grew up in Egypt, his mother in Austria – and stories of their families, friends and acquaintances, starting with how the mother and first cam...

When a slice of Alpena was on thousands of movie screens | News, Sports, Jobs

Courtesy Photo A movie poster of Die Hard 2. Thirty-five years ago, Die Hard 2 appeared on over 2,500 American and Canadian movie screens, and a portion of the blockbuster movie was filmed in Alpena.

The 10 best Stephen King movies, in reverse order – The Irish Times

Hollywood has been churning out adaptations of Stephen King stories since Gerald Ford was president of the United States. The process began slowly – not least because there weren’t, at first, that many books to adapt – placing a good four years between Brian De Palma’s Carrie, in 1976, and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, in 1980. But, by the time Ronald Reagan left office, King Adaptation Inc was a subindustry in itself. One reason to attempt a top 10 now is that we’ve had four theatrically released King yarns this year alone: Osgood Perkins’s The Monkey in February, Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck in August, Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk in September and, out this week, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man.By one calculation (please don’t ask for our maths), The Running Man is the 50th movi...
