There’s an action sequence in director James Gray’s sci-fi thriller “Ad Astra” that’s packed with thrills but also rife with nuance. Brad Pitt is Roy McBride, an astronaut who finds himself saving mankind from a threat deep in outer space. U.S. intelligence has asked him to send a message from Mars to a long-forgotten mission captained by his father (Tommy Lee Jones). To get to the Red Planet he must first travel to the moon, and while on it, he’s chased down by rover-driving vigilante pirates.

Here, the filmmakers reveal how the death-defying pursuit came together, along with script excerpts by James Gray and Ethan Gross.

EXT. LUNAR BASE
The lunar roving vehicle (LRV) departs, bursting forward with ferocity.

Production traveled to the Dumont Dunes of the Mojave Desert for six days to shoot with stunt doubles driving rovers that would be blended with close-ups of Pitt and the other actors shot in studio. “James wanted this movie to be informed by science where every detail had a purpose,” says production designer Kevin Thompson. “For the moon, we wanted it to feel conquered by contractors, the private industry and national projects. To have a real mix of things that feels slightly familiar.”

In the desert, cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema used a 3-D rig to mount two cameras; one capturing 35-millimeter film, the other digital, recording infrared. Instead of configuring the cameras side-by-side they were overlaid so each camera captured an identical image. “With Hoyte shooting infrared it turned the desert blue skies dark and the sandy terrain a grayish white,” says visual effects supervisor Allen Maris. “It gave us something great to start with. Then we extracted the color information from the film camera to composite the infrared footage to create the high-contrast look of the moon.” Visual effects then removed the sand dunes and hills in the image and replaced them with the correct geography and texture found on the lunar rock.

EXT. THE MOON – MOMENTS LATER
A caravan of rovers appear on the horizon, coming toward our GUYS.
They open fire on our LRV.

Boom! The first shot just misses Roy, and the team led by Willie Levant (Sean Blakemore) calls in a mayday that they’re under attack. More shots are fired and two of the rovers go down. Another shot punctures Roy’s oxygen supply. He must close it before he dies. The Max Richter score magnifies the intensity.

“We made sure we stayed within Roy’s point-of-view as much as we could as it all unfolds,” says co-editor Lee Haugen, who worked alongside co-editor John Axelrad. “Whether it was visuals or sound, we felt the action was built better around his perspective.”

Supervising sound editor Gary Rydstrom says, “One of the keys to it all is that you’re hearing things from what Roy would hear and what would resonate in his suit or through his microphone.” In creating the sound palette, Rydstrom aurally detailed feedback and distortion. “It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit as a sound designer because there’s nothing easier to create than feedback and distortion, but the scene is almost completely made up of all the sounds I tried to avoid in my career,” he says.

The driver can’t react in time. SLAMS INTO THE BARRICADE.

A pirate rover drives straight toward Roy’s vehicle. Roy pumps the brakes and the pirate rover zips by, slamming into a concrete structure. It flips into the air, shredding into pieces. To replicate the atmosphere, filmmakers referenced the Al Reinert documentary “For All Mankind,” which follows the true story of the moon landing.

“The moon is about one-sixth the gravity of Earth, and we took that into consideration,” Maris says. “We wanted to re-create the real thing so the rovers are moving the way they should on the moon’s surface.” Van Hoytema detailed the look further by shooting the entire sequence with a slightly higher frame rate to subtly add slow motion to the accelerating vehicles and impacts.

The picture editors intercut shots of Roy’s visor that reflected the destruction. “It was storyboarded that way and added to the perspective. Even the voices that were not Roy’s were filtered so that only his was left clean,” Haugen notes.

It took several months to finish cutting the sequence, and the editors admit it felt claustrophobic when they first put it together. It wasn’t until the addition of sound, music and overhead angles, which added to the geography and tension, that they started feeling the shape of the scene.

“The whole movie was challenging and a test in how to get internally into a character,” Axelrad says. “The further Roy goes out into space, the deeper we dive into the conscious mind. But even with the action sequences, we wanted to find a balance between making it entertaining and finding the emotion.”

We call the Hinoki our apocalyptic holiday candle. Even the wax is a smoky hue. It’s spice heavy and more about renewal than nostalgia. I’m a big believer that something amazing can be reborn from the ashes this year.” Boy Smells is hosting a pop-up through December at Poketo at Row DTLA featuring their full collection, seasonal scents, new products and free gift wrapping.

How to turn your candle holder into an up-cycled planter

When the candle has finished burning, place the glass container upside down on a lined cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 200-degrees, so any leftover wax can melt onto the sheet. This works better than the freezer method. Allow container to cool, and clean before filling with soil and succulents. (The lack of drainage holes means very little water is needed to keep the succulents thriving.) Pilea peperomioides cuttings work well too. You now have a repurposed gift for the plant-loving millennial in your life.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, expects the panel to vote soon, possibly this week, on at least two or more charges against the Republican president.

The Big Impeachment Reveal

This morning, House Democrats plan to announce their impeachment articles against President Trump after a high-level meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last night. Democrats are widely expected to accuse Trump of abuse of power and attempting to obstruct congressional investigations.

The announcement follows yesterday’s final House Judiciary Committee hearing, which began with a protester accusing the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, of treason and grew only more rancorous from there.

Republicans repeatedly tried to grind down the proceeding with objections, while Democrats accused Trump of jeopardizing the nation’s democracy in a reckless bid for political survival.

17 Problems, but Partisan Bias Isn’t One

In the latest investigation of an investigation, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog has issued a 434-page report that sharply criticizes the FBI for its clandestine surveillance of a former Trump campaign advisor suspected of working with Russian intelligence.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz cited 17 “significant errors or omissions.” But Horowitz also said his investigators uncovered no evidence that the mistakes were intentional or influenced by political bias, as Trump has repeatedly alleged.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

On this day in 1939, Los Angeles voters passed a law banning pinball games by a wide margin, with about 161,000 votes for and 113,000 against.

The Times reported the next morning: “Pin-ball games, marble boards, scoop claws and similar devices, under the ordinance approved yesterday by the people, will be declared nuisances in public places, and therefore subject to seizure by the police … Mayor Bowron and his Police Commission urged the adoption of the anti pin-ball law on the grounds that the machines are used for petty gambling, so widespread that the police are totally insufficient in number to enforce the law.”

The ban would eventually be overturned decades later, in 1974 — but in the meantime, plenty of pinball machines were destroyed.

The 25-year-old is in a sharp run of form in front of goal and wants it to continue, while he has lifted the lid on his much-discussed celebration

Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic has said that manager Frank Lampard wants him to become a regular source of goals for the club.

The 25-year-old ended a goal drought of more than 1,000 days when he struck against Valencia in the Champions League a fortnight ago, then netted against Everton in the Premier League at the weekend.

It had been nearly three years since he had previously found the target, while playing with Real Madrid in the 2016-17 season.

During his playing days, Blues boss Lampard was a master of arriving at the perfect time in the box to score goals, netting more than anyone else for the club, and he is hoping to add a similar edge to the game of the former Real Madrid man.

“He has joked about that before but I also think he was being serious, because he knows I should score more goals,” he told the club’s official website.

“He has been preparing me to arrive late in the box to score more goals and it is just a consequence of training hard and preparing myself.

“I think mentally I have become stronger this season. Last season I was obsessed a little bit with not scoring because people were always asking when I was going to score.

“This summer I was just focused on preparing well and having a good season for the team and, as I said before, the goals are just consequences of training well and preparing myself.”

Meanwhile, Kovacic’s cock-a-snook celebration caught the eye and brought much discussion as to who it might be aimed at. The truth has a heart-warming side to it.

“It’s actually for my nieces. I have two nieces, one of which has Down’s Syndrome, and they do that [hand action] with me a lot. I love her a lot and the celebration was for them,” he said.

“It’s nice when you score and you can celebrate with the family. They have waited a long time but now I hope I can continue like that.”

Kovacic will want to remain on the goal trail against Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday as the Blues seek to secure progression against an opponent already eliminated

Ce mardi 9 juillet, Bernard Tapie a été relaxé pour escroquerie. Un délibéré annoncé en l’absence de l’homme d’affaires affaibli par un double cancer, qui a confié toute son émotion à son avocat Maître Hervé Temime par téléphone.

Ouf de soulagement pour Bernard Tapie. Ce mardi 9 juillet, le tribunal correctionnel de Paris a rendu son jugement et relaxé l’hommes d’affaires pour escroquerie. “Aucun élément du dossier ne permet d’affirmer que cette sentence a été surprise par la fraude” : une nouvelle qui a enchanté l’ancien patron de l’OM.

Absent lors du délibéré, Bernard Tapie étant terriblement affaibli par son double cancer de l’oesophage et de l’estomac n’a pu se déplacer. C’est donc son avocat, maître Hervé Temime qui lui a annoncé la bonne nouvelle par téléphone. Saluant son “courage remarquable“, l’avocat a expliqué qu’il avait prévenu son client immédiatement. “Il était très très ému. La certitude qu’on avait raison, qu’il avait raison, était si grande chez lui, que malgré les craintes que l’on pouvait avoir compte tenu de toutes les décisions qui étaient intervenues avant celles-ci, était si forte que ça a été une joie extraordinaire !” a confié l’avocat de Bernard Tapie au micro de CNews.

Son épouse Dominique a également réagi sur BFMTV, confiant au sujet de son mari qu’il s’agissait du “plus beau jour de sa vie,” précisant avec joie : “Nous sommes tous très émus et bouleversés.“

Laura Smet a épousé, pour la seconde fois, son compagnon Raphaël Lancrey-Javal, le 15 juin dernier lors d’une cérémonie religieuse au Cap Ferret. Une date hautement symbolique qui correspond à l’anniversaire de Johnny Hallyday. Cependant, le choix de celle-ci a beaucoup fait jaser, mais était-ce réellement un choix délibéré de Laura ?

Après avoir épousé son compagnon Raphaël Lancrey-Javal le 1er décembre 2018 à Paris, Laura Smet a souhaité consolider cette union avec une cérémonie religieuse, en se mariant une seconde fois à l’église Notre-Dame-des-Flots au Cap Ferret, le 15 juin dernier. Or le choix de cette date hautement symbolique – il s’agit de la date anniversaire de Johnny Hallyday – a beaucoup fait jaser.

Beaucoup ont reproché à Laura Smet un véritable coup de communication, volant ainsi la vedette à Laeticia Hallyday qui était également de passage en France, ce jour-là, pour inaugurer une place au nom de Johnny Hallyday à Toulouse. Mais selon Laura Smet qui a accordé une longue interview à Madame Figaro, la vérité serait toute autre. La comédienne et réalisatrice a en effet confié que le choix de cette date n’avait rien de calculé, bien au contraire.

“Il s’est passé quelque chose d’assez dingue, comme tous les signes que je peux avoir de mon père : je n’avais pas choisi la date, mais on voulait que ce soit au Cap Ferret, où je vais depuis vingt-trois ans, chez des amis très proches, les Bartherotte. J’appelle Benoît Bartherotte – qui est un peu pour moi un père spirituel – et il me dit avec son accent bordelais qu’il n’y a qu’une date disponible dans l’église Notre-Dame-des-Flots : ‘Le 15 juin !’ C’est le jour où est né mon père. Se marier le jour de son anniversaire, sans l’avoir fait exprès ? Je me ‘suis pris la tête’ en me disant que que cela allait être mal interprété et, finalement, j’ai laissé faire la vie,”a ainsi révélé la soeur de David Hallyday au magazine.

Les deux cinéastes américains s’unissent pour produire un film reconstituant le destin d’une réfugiée syrienne et adapté du livre de Melissa Fleming “A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea”.

Le site The Wrap annonce que Steven Spielberg et J.J. Abrams vont à nouveau joindre leurs talents pour un projet inhabituel : l’adaptation d’un ouvrage écrit par la porte-parole du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés, Melissa Fleming.

Intitulé “A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea” (“Un espoir plus puissant que la mer”), ce livre revient sur l’authentique et ahurissant périple de Doaa Al Zamel, une jeune Syrienne qui a fui l’Egypte pour rejoindre la Suède, dérivant avec ses deux enfants dans les bras sur une bouée en pleine mer.

J.J. Abrams et Steven Spielberg produiront ce projet à travers Amblin Entertainments et Paramount Pictures, qui ont acheté les droits. Le film sera distribué par Dreamworks.

Indiana Jones 5, Ready Player One… Où en sont les projets de Spielberg ?

Aucun scénariste ni réalisateur n’est encore attaché au projet. L’agenda de Steven Spielberg est actuellement trop chargé pour s’attacher à cette mise en scène : le cinéaste doit encore boucler la post-production de son prochain film de science-fiction Ready Player One et du nouvel épisode d’Indiana Jones. Il a également annoncé qu’il réaliserait prochainement un film avec Tom Hanks et Meryl Streep sur le rôle du Washington Post dans le scandale des Pentagon Papers en 1971.

J.J. Abrams, de son côté, vient d’achever la production de God Particle, le projet volet de la saga Cloverfield, qui sortira en octobre. Il travaille actuellement sur Mission : Impossible 6 mis en scène par Christopher McQuarrie, bientôt en tournage à Paris.

Mais où est donc passée Laeticia Hallyday ? Alors que la veuve de Johnny nous avait habitué à partager son quotidien sur Instagram, elle semble aujourd’hui faire profil bas. Alors, vrai désir d’intimité ou nouvelle stratégie ?

Depuis la mort de Johnny Hallyday, le moins qu’on puisse dire est que Laeticia Hallyday occupe le terrain médiatique. Interviews, clashs dans la presse, messages cryptiques sur Instagram : de la bataille qui l’oppose à David et Laura, la veuve du chanteur et ses avocats n’ont rien épargné au public. Laeticia avait même pris pour habitude de partager régulièrement sur les réseaux sociaux une grande partie de son quotidien, un jour à Saint-Bart, le lendemain au Vietnam, la semaine suivante à Paris. Mais alors que l’été bat son plein, la jeune femme a semble-t-il décidé d’amorcer un virage à 180°.

Après un séjour très médiatisé en France, au cours duquel elle a notamment inauguré une esplanade rebaptisée au nom du chanteur à Toulouse et s’est octroyée une pause détente avec Jade et Joy à Disneyland Paris puis au Puy-du-fou, Laeticia Hallyday est aujourd’hui de retour à Saint-Barth. Mais ne cherchez pas sur Instagram, elle y est muette et n’a posté aucune photo depuis un cliché célébrant l’anniversaire de sa grand-mère Elyette Boudou. Et si la raison de ce silence était simplement l’expression d’une nouvelle stratégie de la veuve de Johnny ? Alors que son train de vie fastueux défraye la critique depuis plusieurs mois, et pourrait bien lui avoir porté préjudice au tribunal, Laeticia a donc décidé de faire profil bas.

Dans un documentaire consacré à Johnny et diffusé sur C8 en juin dernier, Bernard Montiel racontait justement que Laeticia était un véritable panier percé : “Jade et Joy, quand elles auront 18 ans, il y aura un petit problème avec maman. Parce que si maman dépense tout…Maman est quand même très dépensière…” Maman aurait donc apparemment décidé de mettre un frein à ses dépenses, ou en tout cas de cesser de les afficher à la face du monde.
