Jones directed and co-wrote Warcraft, based on the video game series of the same name, which was released in the summer of 2016. His next film would return to the science fiction genre and be called Mute, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Paul Rudd. Jones had been developing the project for years and described it as a "spiritual sequel" to Moon, and was inspired by Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
The film, set in Berlin forty years in the future, follows a mute bartender investigating his lover's disappearance. The film was produced and released by Netflix, and became available to stream world-wide in February 2018. Likely, this concept would do much better today in a pop culture climate where superhero subversions like The Boys and Watchmen have thrived.
Sadly, this wasn't to be the fate for Mystery Men, which made only $33 million at the box office against a budget of $68 million. The cult classic may yet find its time to shine on the Netflix Top Ten and, if not, it will always be able to boast its connection to Smash Mouth's "All Star" music video, which features characters from the film.

The film, co-starring Jennifer Connelly as a teenage girl out to save her baby brother, is officially on Netflix starting this month. Spike Lee's sophomore film, after his micro-budgeted and critically acclaimed debut, "She's Gotta Have It," was this big, bold ensemble musical set on the campus of a Historically Black College over a busy homecoming weekend. Though steeped in the specific politics and activism of its 1988 release, stubborn issues like classicism, colorism and misogyny are very much in the conversation.

The film, co-starring Jennifer Connellyas a teenage girl out to save her baby brother, is officially on Netflix starting this month. The story behind the last film ever directed by the great Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone is as fascinating as the picture itself. Having made his reputation as the king of spaghetti Westerns—and then transcending the genre with films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West—Leone set his sights on gangsters in 20th century America. But his nearly four-hour epic was severely truncated down to 139 minutes and rendered almost incomprehensible in America where it failed spectacularly. Meanwhile the original version remained largely unseen until it was restored in 2012. But there's more than red dye in the water to enjoy in the below outings for those content to stay home as things continue to stay weird out there.

We start with one of the newest Netflix Original Movies,Afterlife of the Party.
This is a fun movie for those who like the second-chance stories. Victoria Justice plays Cassie, a party girl who dies in a freak accident. She's brought back for five days as a ghost to make things right with the important people in her life. The drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne, inside a car driven into a pond and then abandoned by Senator Ted Kennedy, was one of the darker moments in a family history plagued by tragedy — and one in which a Kennedy was not the victim, but the villain. Most important, Curran vividly recreates the atmosphere of that fateful weekend in 1969, the same weekend as the moon landing, a moment in which anything seemed possible — except undoing what Ted Kennedy did. In the mid-aughts, Ricky Gervais used his cultural cachet to land a series of all-star cameos in this cringe-comedy look at the life of an actor.
In the first season, Andy Millman is a struggling nobody, working as an extra and dreaming of something better; he gets it in the second season, landing a catchphrase-spouting starring role in a bad sitcom, and discovers he might've preferred anonymity. The series co-creator and co-writer Stephen Merchant appears as Andy's wildly ineffective agent, while such stars as Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Stiller, Daniel Radcliffe and David Bowie entertainingly send up their own personas in guest roles. See where to watch and find great movies and TV shows with David Bowie.

Though Netflix has some big originals also dropping in this same week, as the Michael Keaton drama Worthbrings to life the story of the 9/11 Compensation Fund's creation. Just a couple months after David Bowie's death, director Sonia Anderson told the story of one of the most mystifying personalities the music industry had ever seen. When a young teenager decides to read her baby brother a storybook so that he'll fall asleep, she unwittingly summons the Goblin King from the fantasy story.
The King steals the baby and takes him to his castle, forcing the girl to enter a frightening world in order to save her brother. Regardless of your musical taste, the story of the people behind stardom on this scale is always hugely fascinating. Megan is a public librarian by trade obsessed with the intersections between art, culture, and society.
She's a nerd for horror, obscure memes, weird history, graphic novels, and binge-worthy science fiction series. Bowie tends to be cast as some of the most provocative characters throughout history, so it makes sense he'd play inventor Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan's period drama The Prestige. This German feature provides a firsthand look into German 70s subcultures, which were fueled by drugs and live music.
The film focuses on a teenage girl in West Germany who wanders from party to party in West Berlin. David Lynch's prequel to the cult classic Twin Peaks television series delves into the traumatic backstory of Sheryl Lee's character Laura Palmer, the dead teenager who haunts the series. Bowie plays FBI agent Phillip Jeffries, a colleague of Kyle MacLaughlan's Agent Dale Cooper who goes missing.
Bowie plays a POW in Japan during World War II in this tense drama from director Nagisa Oshima. The film's source material comes from Sir Laurens van der Post, a South African native of British descent who was captured by the Japanese during the war. David Bowie is perfectly cast as a space alien corrupted by television, alcohol and sex in Nicolas Roeg's trippy science fiction film. It's a busy time for Flynn, who alongside juggling home-schooling his three children with his wife, has a second movie coming out this month - The Dig - starring Carey Mulligan, Lily James and Ralph Fiennes.
He turned down the role when he was first offered it, not because the estate wasn't on board or because of the focus on the star's family history, but because Bowie is such an intimidating character to take on. A new month means more movies to devour from Netflix's extensive catalog, ranging from some old favorites to some new editions. We've sorted the best movies on the streaming service for the month of September 2021.
All of these movies are on Netflix, unless they are noted with an arrival date. If you are of a sure age and grew up in a PBS family, you seemingly have fond recollections of watching light artistBob Ross paint his "happy little trees" on his academic present The Joy of Painting. For these people, this new Netflix documentary could also be troublesome to sit down by, because it reveals how Ross' business companions allegedly took benefit of him as he was being weakened by most cancers earlier than his 1995 loss of life. Fans are already boycotting products made by Bob Ross Inc. in protest after seeing the movie. Renée Zellwegergained her first Oscar for 2003'sCold Mountain, an adaptation of theCharles Fraziernovel from late director Anthony Minghella of The English Patient fame.

Former teen star Victoria Justice headlines this fantasy comedy about a spoiled party girl who dies in a freak accident at her 25th birthday soiree. A guardian angel shows up in her individualized purgatory to tell her that she has to mend her ways and fix some relationships in order to find out what's next. At its heart though, Love and Monsters is a rollicking rollercoaster of a road movie. Our hero's trek involves threats and colourful characters and beasties at every turn, writers Brian Duffield and Matthew Robinson stuffing the story with memorable moments, witty one-liners and, sometimes, a real palpable sense of danger.
The latter is immensely assisted by the Oscar-nominated visual effects that bring the giant bugs and other creatures to life. Through his social media, Jones announced in July 2018 that his next project would be a science fiction film, based on the 2000 AD Comics character Rogue Trooper. In July 2019 he told Entertainment Weekly, "The script is really looking pretty good now. It's getting to the point where we're going to have to start casting and making the thing." Upon its release, the film - directed by Jim Henson - was seen as a box office failure, charting at number eight and taking just over half of its $25million budget. That's the chill of fall creeping in as August fades into September.
Yes summer is finally behind us, and with the turn of the seasons comes a fresh crop of new films to watch this September. From Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Nia DaCosta's Candyman, to Paul Schrader's forthcoming The Card Counter and James Wan's Malignant, there are plenty of exciting new releases to catch in theaters this month. … Stephen Chow, who co-wrote, co-produced, directed and starred in this 2005 international hit that mashes up Lee-style action, Chan-style slapstick and Looney Tunes-style cartoon high jinks. Chow stars as a would-be gangster in 1940s Shanghai who attempts to ingratiate himself with the infamous "Axe Gang" but finds his skill doesn't quite match his aspirations. Chow can execute an action beat with the best of them, and he packs plenty of them into the picture's lightning-fast 98 minutes.
But he also eschews the solemn seriousness of too many contemporary action movies, embracing goofy special effects and broadly comic characters to keep his audience on its toes. Every month, dozens of movies and TV shows expire from the streaming service. Though he's primarily known as a pioneering figure of glam and progressive rock, Bowie's acting career predates his rise to musical fame in the late '60s and early '70s. A student of theater, Bowie got his start on the London stage in productions like Peirrot in Turquoise, which was later made into the TV movie The Looking Glass Murders. In 1976, Bowie impressed audiences and critics alike in Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, playing the role of planet-less vagabond alien, Thomas Jerome Newton.
The part, fittingly, earned the rock star a Saturn Award for Best Actor. Renée Zellwegerwon her first Oscar for 2003'sCold Mountain, an adaptation of theCharles Fraziernovel from late director Anthony Minghella of The English Patient fame. Netflix scored the 25th anniversary digitally remastered edition of 1982's sci-fi classic Blade Runner, which is the only one in the franchise that was completely controlled by director Ridley Scott. The movie, considered a milestone in the genre, is an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I'd love to play Debbie Harry; people tell me I look like her often, which means so much to me; she's a hero, too. The supreme appeal of the movie, however, is the interest and affection Linklater showers onto Black as well as his entire cast of talented youngsters, who all get to shine and help build this Zoomer touchstone.
That includes future iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove as Black's pint-sized nemesis turned frenemy. Part of the problem may have been hiring Casino Royale director Martin Campbell—known for bringing Bond back to Earth—to helm what is essentially an uneasy mix of superhero origin story and space opera. Campbell does his best, as do actors like Reynolds, Strong, Tim Robbins, and Angela Bassett, but the script is too saddled with stuff.
The primary villain is a cloud and the secondary villain—Peter Sarsgaard in a puffy head—is chewing the scenery in another movie entirely. We may get a good Green Lantern movie one day, but this one is best enjoyed while cleaning the house or getting drunk. A movie that it's hard to imagine folks making today, Cold Mountain is a Civil War epic which eschews the usual trappings of dramas set during that era. The film's main characters are North Carolinians who find themselves drawn into the Confederate cause of secession , although Jude Law's Inman is no slaveholder.
In fact, he has no real reason to be fighting the war, which is why after seeing years of carnage he goes AWOL, embarking on a Homeric quest to return to his Cold Mountain home and the sweetheart waiting there for him, Ada .

This film follows five years of his early career, from the late 1960s through to the on-stage death of Ziggy Stardust in 1973. It shows how many of the ideas that originated during these early years and features never seen before archive interviews with some of Bowie's earliest collaborators.

Described in the film as the most important record in hip-hop, Incredible Bongo Band's Apache has since been sampled hundreds of times by the genre's most seminal artists. Sample This is both its story and a celebration of the culture it unwittingly helped to create. Bowie plays the evil Goblin King Jareth, who orchestrates the kidnapping of a young boy.
