How Hot Is Matthias Schoenaerts?

Matthias Schoenaerts is so hot...

... he steams.

Matty's working hard in the gym these days getting big for something or other - last time we checked in on him he was flexing for his life in a shirtless seflie looking bigger than he has in a bit so my guess is it was for his Russian Spy Thriller with Jennifer Lawrence, but who knows - he's a busy boy! 

That shot's actually a few months old, posted by his trainer in Antwerp, but it's new to these eyes. And worth sharing! Anyway earlier today Matthias shared the first poster for his upcoming flick The Racer and the Jailbird, which co-stars Blue is the Warmest Color's Adele Exarchopoulos - previous post right here.

Jailbird is from director Michaël R. Roskam, who previously directed Schoenaerts in Bullhead and The Drop - why work with anybody else when you've got the an actor like Matthias at your disposal? I totally get it. (Thomas Vinterberg, director of Far From the Madding Crowd, is also making his next movie again with Matthias - once you're hooked you're hooked!) But here's how The Racer and the Jailbird is described via IMDb:

"Set against the background of a brutal crime gang in Brussels, a tragic love story between Gigi, a high-flying gangster, and Bibi, a young racing driver with very upper-class roots."

How much do I love that Matty's character is named Gigi? (Very much.) Jailbird is out some time this year - we will obviously be staying on top of it.

But here's a thing I just learned, looking at Matthias' IMDb page -- I guess it was announced a couple of weeks ago but totally slipped by me that Schoenaerts is making a movie with Terrence Malick next! Or.. already? I think it might have already been shot; The Playlist seems to think it will be hitting festivals this year.

"“Radegund” is currently set to make its festival debut sometime in 2017. A return to World War II for the “Thin Red Line” writer/director, the film is based on the life of Franz Jägerstätter... Opening at Jägerstätter’s home in the idyllic Austrian countryside, Radegund (working title) follows Franz (August Diehl) and his beloved wife, Fani (Valerie Pachner), along their remarkable path of resistance. Told through real wartime letters, this stirring love story finds the couple in conflict with the members of their close-knit town, their church, their government, and even their friends — all of which brings them to a dramatic choice. Set in World War II-ravaged Europe, ‘Radegund’ is a timeless story of bravery, conscience, and romantic love.”

August Diehl (pictured above left) you probably recognize from Inglourious Basterds or Salt or Allied or a bunch of other things. Valerie Pachner on the other hand I was unfamiliar with, but it appears I will be more than familiar with her very soon - besides this Malick movie she's also in the upcoming bio-pic of the painter Egon Schiele (aka my favorite painter), which I just recently discovered was happening as a friend of the blog told me to keep my eyes peeled for Noah Saavedra, who's playing the painter. For...

... clear and obvious reasons. 
But he is very good casting!

And from what I hear he aces the scenes of Schiele's oft-exposed self-portraiture. Something big to look forward to, you guys! That movie doesn't have a US release date yet but it does have an International trailer (without subtitles but whatever)...
.
.
Gosh, this post is all over the place! My apologies. I just have so many many things to say! Anyway back from that tangent - the Malick movie. It being Malick who knows how big Matthias Schoenaerts' role will be, or if he'll even end up in the final cut, but he's obviously not the lead character - IMDb lists his role as "Herder," whatever that means. Still it's good to see great directors are continuing to clamor to work with him - how long do you guys think it'll be before he gets an Oscar nomination? I'll be your date, Matty!

A happy 41st birthday to It's Always Sunny star Charlie Day today. Have you guys been watching Sunny this season? I don't know how they keep it so damn funny after all these many years but there have been episodes this season that are as good as anything they've ever done. The Gang Goes To a Water Park!!! You don't know how often in the past two weeks I have screamed out apropos of nothing, "AIDS blood in the pool! AIDS blood in the pool!" Ahh, funny.

High-Rise (2016)

If you haven't seen Ben Wheatley's film High-Rise yet then you might maybe have no idea what you're seeing there in these frames that I have edited together in my own fashion (these images come from few different shots over the course of a couple minutes of film) so let me spell it out - that is Luke Evans in his underwear drowning a dog in a swimming pool.

I'm feeling as if High-Rise is in need of a re-watch in light of these past few months real-world events - it feels especially prescient right now. I liked it when I saw it a year ago at Tribeca, but I felt somewhat removed from it -- given the state of my mind these days I don't think that will be a problem in 2017.

Have you all seen the film yet? Thoughts? Opinions? Ideas? Entreaties to any violent revolutions? I'll take any of it today. Oh and a happy birthday to Tom Hiddleston or whatever. Hit the jump for links to all of the previous Ways Not To Die...

Today I'd rather be...

Doesn't Idris look like he could use a good pounding?

After watching this clip-reel from
his boxing show, I know he can sure take one.
.

There's been so much distracting me in the real world that I somehow forgot Idris' show had begun airing in the UK - I haven't gotten around to watching any yet, so it was with great  pleasure that I stumbled upon this seven minutes of footage somebody gathered up from just a single episode - to think that there's more...

... of this out there in the world for me to take in... it's a bright spot amid a bunch of not-so-bright spots, anyway. Yeah in case it wasn't clear my mood's pretty down today, so spending the past hour and a half making 70-ish gifs from this footage? It wasn't the worst way to spend the past hour and a half, is my point. And now I gift it to you - hit the jump for them all...

I still have not started watching The Expanse like I said I might when I posted those pictures of shirtless Thomas Jane last week, and here we are and they're gifting us with another shirtless Thomas Jane scene - I should feel ashamed. They're going all out like this, and all. Hmm maybe if I wait another week they'll have Steven Strait flash his ass like he did in the first season? Maybe me waiting will be to the betterment of us all? Well while I contemplate such deep, deep thoughts (as Steven Strait's ass) you all can go ahead and hit the jump for another dozen gifs or so...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:


Amy: Some days you feel like the world is against you. And everyone around you seems so mean. And Ugly. There are times I just burn with hate. In those times, I am ugly too. I don't want to hate. I want to be kind, and wake in the kindness of others. This says if I meditate, and look upon every person as having once been my mother, my heart will soften. She was my mother, when I was sad she held me. My mother who sacrificed so much for me, there she is. There she is. There she is. She is all around me. 

I started re-watching Enlightened earlier this week right after I watched Rambling Rose for the piece I wrote on it at The Film Experience, because a little Laura Dern is never enough Laura Dern once you've started. Anyway Enlightened retains all of its spectacular humanistic marvel - it is maybe the most honest show ever made about how wonderful and horrible each and every single one of us is at any given moment. Watch it and be in awe that something so funny and deeply felt ever existed, at all, even if its life was too short by half. And join me in wishing Laura Dern, the blessed gift of Laura Dern, a happy 50th birthday today!

PS I forgot that our pal Manuel was covering Dern's performance as Amy Jellicoe today too, for The Film Experience's week-long celebration -- click here to read his lovely thoughts!

--- Down With Daddy - Multi-sexual fur-trade Nico Tortorella has signed on to play Lyle Menendez in the upcoming Lifetime movie about the Menendez brothers (in case you're too young to remember first off, fuck you for making me feel old, and secondly they killed their parents and got press because they were hot or something). Oh and last week Courtney fucking Love signed on to play the Menendez' mother. That set is going to be a hot hot mess. (thx Mac) Also it needs to be noted, as long as we're using the word "hot," that the dude playing the other brother Erik is an actor named Myko Olivier, and he was on Glee, and he is very very attractive. Sexy Killer Central...

--- Gun Nuts - It seems kind of insane to me that anyone could watch Paul Verhoeven's Robocop and not get its razor sharp satirical take on the police - same goes for the anti-war sentiment of his Starship Troopers. But what the fuck do I know - I don't seem to understand half this country (the mean, dumb half anyway). On that note here's a take arguing that Robocop is the movie of our moment, and having just re-watched the film I can only vigorously agree.

--- Here's The Beef - Thanks to our pal Jarett for calling our attention to this sizzling fresh news - Jai Courtney is starring in a movie called BEEF. It's not actually capitalized like that but I kind of feel like it oughta be, so I will type it like that every time I talk about it. BEEF. Jai's bringing the BEEF. Anyway the movie also stars Timothy Olyphant and okay I died. I died typing that. The two of them play comical scary thugs or something, it's a fast-food caper? I don't know, who cares, please please make the two of them make out. I don't ask for much!

--- Matty's Malick Made - When I posted about Matthias Schoenaerts being in a Terrence Malick movie earlier this week I didn't even realize the film was showing at Berlinale next week - Variety's got the news that the movie has just sold to a distributor, even before showing, and they have the first image from the film too. If Matthias was in the picture I'd be posting it but he's not, it's the film's main stars August Diehl and Valerie Pachner, so you can click over for it.

--- The Nose Knows - It's been a very very long time since I have seen Walt Disney's Pinnochio but I gotta fix that after reading my pal Tom Blunt's piece on the movie's weird weird weirdness - donkey black markets and bipedal kittens and all manner of fantastical oddities that only add up to more and more insanity the more you think about 'em.
.
--- Woolf in Green Clothing - Eva Green is making a movie about one of Virginia Woolf's lesbian love affairs, which is a sentence that makes me wish I was a lesbian, because I'd love to get off to such a thing as that. I kind of will anyway! Playing her lady amour is Gemma Aterton, who I never really got until I saw that Neil Jordan vampire movie she was in - she was fantastic in that, so it is possible. Not that anybody can ever hold the screen opposite Eva. Somebody nominate this woman for a goddamned Oscar already!

--- Slash N Burn - There have been two big bits of Slasher Movie news this week - first off Paramount has effectively dumped Jason Voorhees in the dumpster, abruptly canceling this year's film that was about to start filming. Breck Eisner, who made the very fine Crazies remake, was just about to film the thing; no word on what happened. But in Michael Myers Land there's been an enormous development - David Gordon fucking Green has signed on to write and direct a new Halloween movie! His co-conspirator in nuttery Danny McBride is co-authoring the script. For a long time Green was trying to remake Suspiria, a task which eventually got taken over by Luca Guadagnino (who's already filmed the thing) - I guess he really wants to make his horror movie! I don't even know how to wrap my head around this one.

--- Dancing Girls - Oh but speaking of that Suspiria remake one of its actresses is Mia Goth (she played the young Charlotte Gainsbourg in Nymphomaniac) and she's currently giving interviews for A Cure For Wellness, which she also stars in, and she told BD that Luca Guadagnino isn't really "remaking" Argento's film, technically.

"People are going to be really pleasantly surprised to realize that it’s really not a remake at all. I think people are going to be really shocked. It’s a nod of the hat to Dario Argento and his version of ‘Suspiria’, but we really do take it to a completely different place"

I have absolutely no clue what she means, but I'm certainly curious. (Duh.) No word yet on when this movie's out but I am hoping for Halloween-time, although Luca might be too busy Call Me By Your Name related duties this fall.

--- Livin La Vida Refn - Nicholas Winding Refn is about to make a series for Amazon - ten episodes called Live and Die Young which is about the seedy underbelly of the Los Angeles crime-world; they say it will be a lot like his Pusher series of films, only with less Mads Mikkelsen rubbing his balls on-screen. Or at least I assume - maybe Nicholas can throw us a bone on that tip. Anyway they say three big name actors have already been offered roles, but they're not giving up names yet. Fingers sniffed crossed for a reunion!

It's Brothers Again For Jake

Jake's just starting his great big Broadway musical this weekend but that's not stopping him from signing up for more movies -- he's just signed on to co-star opposite Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly in a film called The Sisters Brothers, which most excitingly of all will be directed by Jacques Audiard, the brilliant French director behind A Prophet and Rust and Bone. The Sisters Brothers is based on a book (anybody read it?) and it's about:

"The story follows two brothers — Eli and Charlie Sisters — who are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. The story takes place in Oregon in 1851."

I was picturing beards, lots and lots of beards, after reading that description - the word "prospector" just conjures up beards - but then I looked at the book's cover and there are no beards! I don't know what to think! Anyway I haven't a clue via that description which actor would be playing which role -- my guess is Reilly & Joaquin are the brothers since they were signed up first, and Jake's the prospector (beard?) but I suppose we will found out when we find out. Right, Jake? Right, Jake. (thx Mac; pics via)

Tell me that Alexander Skarsgard and Peter Dinklage have signed on to make a "Renaissance action movie" called The Dwarf and sure, I might side-eye you for a hot second, but I'll still pencil it down for future consumption. For sure. But then you go and tell me that the film will be directed by the wholly underrated Brad Anderson, he who made Session 9 and Transsiberian and The Machinist, and I'll scratch out that pencil and I will re-write it in permanent marker, I will! (pic via) Here's how the movie's described (thx Mac): 

"Dinklage will play a fearless man who proves his mettle and earns the trust of a prince after he conquers an all-time wrestling champion in a contest. Once he has jockeyed for position next to the seat of power, the dwarf pledges his undying loyalty and resorts to assassinations and subterfuge in his merciless quest to protect his new master."

I have no idea what's going on in this video for GQ Germany of Game of Thrones actor Tom Wlaschiha taking a bath with some dude named Simon Lohmeyer (whose GQ profile describes as a "Model, Globetrotter and by his own description '21st-Century Hippie' -- sighhhh) but it sure is hot, so here it is...
.

Googling Lohmeyer only took me down a rabbit-hole of weird German shit I don't understand, so if anybody knows what the hell he's all about, please do share. Because it's hot weird German shit...

... but weird nonetheless. Seems like he maybe does a whole series for GQ that's about him taking baths with dudes? I'm in! As long as Tom's there too.

Today would have been the 79th birthday of the great bearish thespian Oliver Reed, who starred in the first movie to use the word fuck (1967's I'll Never Forget What's'isname) and the first British movie to be Rated X for violence (1972's Sitting Target) as well, you know, being the first penis slapped on a mainstream movie screen along with Alan Bates in their sparring match in 1969's Women in Love. So basically he's a goddamned legend and don't y'all forget it.
