Raymond And Ray Will Make Ewan McGregor And Ethan Hawke Brothers In New Apple TV+ Movie

Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke are headed to Apple TV+ with a new original movie, "Raymond and Ray," which will see them showing off their dramatic chops as half-brothers. McGregor will play Raymond and Hawke will play Ray, and The Wrap reports that the film will follow the alliterative brothers as they "reinvent themselves following their terrible father's funeral."

Variety adds this logline:

"Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and [their father's] funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There's anger, there's pain, there's folly, there might be love, and there's definitely grave-digging."

Rodrigo Garcia is set to write and direct "Raymond and Ray," with Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón and Julia Lynn producing via Mockingbird Pictures. Garcia previously directed McGregor in "Last Days in the Desert," which saw the actor portray Jesus Christ during his 40 days in the wilderness.

McGregor memorably played his own twin brother in season 3 of "Fargo," but this time, he'll have Hawke to lean on. Stick a beard on them both and they could certainly pass for half-brothers, maybe even two Shakespearean gravediggers.

McGregor And Hawke Enter The Streaming Wilderness

We don't know much else yet regarding the plot of "Raymond and Ray," but in the meantime, McGregor and Hawke both have high-profile projects coming to Disney+ next year. McGregor will reprise his "Star Wars" role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a limited series, and Hawke will play the villain opposite Oscar Isaac in Marvel's "Moon Knight" series.

Chances are, Hawke's character in "Raymond and Ray" will be a good guy, since his recent villain roles are a drastic departure for him. He recently said that he had "a no bad guy policy as an actor," but that he broke it to reteam with "Sinister" director Scott Derrickson for "The Black Phone." It would appear that he's breaking the same rule for "Moon Knight," since his antagonist is inspired by cult leader David Koresh. Meanwhile, uber-producer Jason Blum has called "The Black Phone" "the scariest movie" he's ever worked on.

"Raymond and Ray" is just the latest Apple Original movie to woo a couple of big-name actors. We recently heard that the Apple TV+ service was in a bidding war with Netflix for the next Jennifer Lawrence movie, and it already has Julianne Moore and Sebastian Stan lined up for "Sharper." This comes in addition to other upcoming titles like "The Tragedy of Macbeth," starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, and "Killers of the Flower Moon," starring Jesse Plemons, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert DeNiro.

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...

A lounge chair you can ‘lean on’

Remember the Ovini Balance Stool from last year? The Sway Chair is the Ovini’s bigger brother with a backrest! Designed to be a lounging chair that has the flexibility of perhaps the beanbag, KI’s Sway Chair comes with a hemispherical base that rests on a freely rotating and swiveling base that has 4 legs. The contact points between the seating area and the base have ball bearings concealed within them that allow you to lean forwards, backwards, or even sideways in the chair, choosing a position that’s comfortable for you. With a simple physical action, you can change the chair from a work-chair to a lounger to lean back and relax in. There’s a certain bit of resistance/friction too, which means the chair retains the position you set it in, rather than swinging willy-nilly. Oh, and this one, unlike the Ovini, also comes with a rather nifty backrest as well as an adjustable foot-stool! Designer: KI Yanko Design https://ift.tt/2y1jNWK September 28, 2018 at 09:02PM

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema  is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
