I’ve heard (from a friend with a bike) that the Blitz post-production process is a disaster and people have been quitting left and right. We’ll see but it’s not a good sign.

I can’t stand Lanthimos’ films but I might forgive him if we get a Joe Alwyn Best Supporting Actor campaign just for fun lol

One not mentioned here that I just found out about and am interested in is Marielle Heller’s Nightbitch starring Amy Adams. Could this be her time? Apparently the book is really weird but after the last two Best Actress winners I’m not sure that it’s a problem and Marielle Heller is a consistent director who hasn’t had a real miss yet.

Oh no. Not happy about that Blitz news. Foe was so bad. I don't want to see Saoirse in another flop.

noooo, i came in to this post specifically to say i am really excited for blitz and want it to be good! (but i'm nosy so i still love bts gossip)

one thing that worries me about nightbitch is it wrapped filming in late 2022 iirc, so it's been sitting around for a long time. obviously a lot of studios decided to sit on completed movies when the strikes happened, so maybe it's nothing, but there's been so little news at all. i want to be wrong because amy deserves an oscar.

yeah they were doing test screenings for Nightbitch a while back, I'd forgotten about that! sad if it sucks.

I hope your friend loses their bike for breaking this bad news. Rooting for Saoirse to get her Oscar so badly. 🥲

[squirrels_oh_no]

Nightbitch was at one time rumored to be going straight to Hulu and keeps getting pushed back with no info so I doubt they're going to campaign it at this rate.

[donaestrangera]

Yeah after I left that comment I went to look for the latest Nightbitch updates and it’s not looking promising…

Amy has the worst luck I swear. It’s a role that looked good on paper with a director who hadn’t missed before but here we are 😭

[squirrels_oh_no]

Iirc i saw someone who saw a test screening and said it was too weird but i could be mixing it up. After she was robbed of a nom for Arrival has just lost all her luck. New agent time?

[i_am_nerg]

I need Amy to get a better fucking agent. She hasn't done anything good since Sharp Objects.

fwiw i loved the book nightbitch but have a hard time envisioning a successful screen adaptation - it is weird and it is also VERY internally driven… not to say it can’t be done with a creative approach to the material but it’s a high difficulty bar. (i did love the book tho)

[rihaty]

I thought though some people had seen a cut and saoirse is the front runner for best actress?

[donaestrangera]

i think you're thinking of the outrun which she got really good reviews for and could maybe be a best actress contender if the distributor plays its cards correctly

blitz is finished filming but still in post-production
