GODS OF EGYPT 2 (2024)

Gods of Egypt is a 2016 fantasy action film directed by Alex Proyas based on a fantastical version of ancient Egyptian deities. It stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brenton Thwaites, Chadwick Boseman, Élodie Yung, Courtney Eaton, Rufus Sewell, Gerard Butler, and Geoffrey Rush. The film follows the Egyptian god Horus, who partners with a mortal Egyptian thief, on a quest to rescue his love and to save the world from Set.

Filming took place in Australia under the film production and distribution company Summit Entertainment in conjunction with Thunder Road Pictures and Proyas’ production company Mystery Clock Cinema. While the film’s production budget was $140 million, the parent company Lionsgate’s financial exposure was less than $10 million due to tax incentives and pre-sales. The Australian government provided a tax credit for 46% of the film’s budget. When Lionsgate began promoting the film in November 2015, it received backlash for its predominantly white cast playing Egyptian deities. In response, Lionsgate and director Proyas apologized for ethnically inaccurate casting.

“Goodfellas” (1990)

“Goodfellas” (1990), dirigida por Martin Scorsese, es una obra maestra del cine de gánsteres que sigue la vida de Henry Hill (interpretado por Ray Liotta), un joven que se adentra en el mundo del crimen organizado. La película está basada en el libro “Wiseguy” de Nicholas Pileggi, quien también coescribió el guion. A través de una narrativa envolvente, Scorsese ofrece una visión cruda y realista de la vida dentro de la mafia, mostrando tanto los atractivos como los peligros de este estilo de vida. El elenco estelar, que incluye a Robert De Niro y Joe Pesci, ofrece actuaciones inolvidables, con Pesci ganando un Oscar por su papel como el violento Tommy DeVito.

La película es una exploración profunda de la ambición, la lealtad y la traición, y ha sido aclamada por su precisión histórica y su atención al detalle. “Goodfellas” no solo es una de las mejores películas de gánsteres de todos los tiempos, sino también una de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos, destacando la maestría de Scorsese en el género.

GREYHOUND – First Battle

In the film “Greyhound,” which was released in 2020, Tom Hanks plays Commander Ernest Krause, a naval officer during World War II. The movie is based on the 1955 novel “The Good Shepherd” by C.S. Forester.

In “Greyhound,” the first battle sequence portrays the intense action and strategic maneuvers of Commander Krause and his crew aboard the USS Keeling, codenamed Greyhound. The film focuses on the Battle of the Atlantic, where Krause leads a convoy of ships through treacherous waters while being pursued by German U-boats.

The “First Battle” scene likely depicts one of the initial engagements where Krause and his crew confront the enemy, showcasing the tension, tactics, and heroism involved in naval warfare during that era. Tom Hanks not only stars in the film but also adapted the screenplay, bringing to life the challenges and bravery of naval officers during World War II.
