Charlie Heaton, alias Jonathan Byers dans Stranger Things, prêtera ses traits à Joseph Merrick pour la mini-série “Elephant Man”, produite par la BBC.

Charlie Heaton, alias Jonathan Byers dans la série à succès Stranger Things, abandonnera provisoirement le look eighties de son personnage pour le costume plus disgracieux de Joseph Merrick dans la mini-série Elephant Man. 

Produit par la BBC, ce 2×90 minutes reviendra sur l’incroyable histoire de l’anglais Joseph Merrick, pendant l’ère victorienne : d’abord ouvrier dans une manufacture de cigares, il est contraint d’abandonner son poste en raison de son handicap. Après un court séjour à l’hospice, il devient un phénomène de foire et est exhibé sans vergogne sous le nom de “l’Homme Elephant” jusqu’à sa rencontre et son amitié avec le docteur Joseph Treves, déterminante.

Si la vie de Merrick a inspiré bon nombre d’auteurs et a été maintes fois adaptée sur les planches, elle n’a fait l’objet que d’un seul long métrage avant ce projet de la BBC, le Elephant Man de David Lynch, sorti en 1980. Charlie Heaton succède ainsi à John Hurt, devant la caméra de Richard Laxton. Le comédien britannique s’est dit “impatient de prendre part à cette aventure et ramener Joseph Merrick à la vie.” La diffusion n’est pas prévue avant l’année prochaine.

Ce sont des icônes de la nostalgie des années 80 qui frappe le cinéma et les séries, et le hasard a voulu qu’ils soient à Deauville le même jour. Raison de plus pour interroger Tye Sheridan et Elle Fanning sur ce revival.

Grâce à Ready Player One pour l’un, et Super 8 pour l’autre, Tye Sheridan et Elle Fanning sont devenus deux des icônes de la nostalgie des années 80 et de sa pop culture que l’on retrouve dans bon nombre de films et de séries, Stranger Things en tête. Et ce alors qu’ils n’ont pas vécu cette époque, étant nés pendant la seconde moitié des années 90. Mais cela ne les empêche pas d’avoir un avis sur la question, et le hasard a voulu qu’ils soient de passage au 44ème Festival du Cinéma Américain de Deauville le même jour. Raison de plus pour leur poser à chacun la question suivante : mais pourquoi les gens sont-ils aussi nostalgiques de cette époque ?

Tye Sheridan : Je pense que les années 80 étaient une ère très colorée. De mauvaises choses se passent tous les jours, et ce peu importe où vous êtes dans le monde. Mais je pense qu’à l’époque, les médias et le divertissement étaient bien plus présents que la politique. Il n’y avait pas cette peur d’une Guerre Mondiale et les style étaient très colorés. C’était une ère très unique dont nous pouvons être nostalgiques, car cela représente une ère joyeuse, où il y avait moins de gravité en-dehors des médias, du divertissement et de tout ce qui pouvait vous intéresser, le cinéma comme la musique.

Elle Fanning : Il y a beaucoup de classiques issus des années 80, comme Breakfast Club ou Rose bonbon. Moi je suis une enfant des années 90, mais quelque chose de révolutionnaire s’est passé dans le cinéma de la décennie d’avant, et c’est pour cela que tout le monde cherche à recréer ces films aujourd’hui. Je ne saurais pas expliquer vraiment pourquoi, mais il y a comme un effet “waouh” et le souvenir d’une époque pendant laquelle tout le monde aimait aller au cinéma. Un peu comme ce qu’il se passe aujourd’hui avec la télévision.

Elle Fanning sera de retour au cinéma le 10 octobre avec “Galveston”. Un drame policier signé Mélanie Laurent présenté en avant-première au Festival de Deauville :

Après avoir perdu l’an dernier sa date de sortie puis purement et simplement annulé, le Reboot de l’increvable franchise “Vendredi 13” refait surface. Le carton au BO d’Halloween n’est sans doute pas étranger dans cette idée…

La saga des Vendredi 13 est vraiment increvable; à l’image de son boogeyman de légende au fond, Jason Voorhees. En 2017, le Reboot de la saga, dont on parle depuis un moment, avait d’abord perdu sa date de sortie, avant de se voir carrément annulé purement et simplement. Il se murmurait alors que le mauvais départ au Box Office de Rings avait précipité la décision d’annuler le Reboot.

Mais, à la faveur du carton au Box Office américain d’Halloween, qui vient de récolter ce week end plus de 77 millions $, l’idée du Reboot de Vendredi 13 refait surface… Toujours est-il que le site Deadline révèle que Vertigo Entertainment et SpringHill Entertainement sont actuellement en discussion pour faire revenir une énième fois Jason Voorhees d’entre les (non) morts. Victor Miller, scénariste du dernier opus de Marcus Nispel (et aussi derrière le script de Freddy contre Jason), sera à nouveau à la barre du scénario du futur opus.

Midnight Special de Jeff Nichols avec Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton (TCM Cinéma, 20h45) : “Jeff Nichols tisse un sombre et magnétique portrait d’un père de famille prêt à tout pour sortir son fils des griffes d’une secte de fanatiques religieux. Michael Shannon est parfait et porte avec force cette histoire complexe, possédant de nombreux niveaux de lecture, à la fois spirituels et métaphysiques, à l’image de l’étrange pouvoir de cet enfant, projetant une vive lumière à travers ses yeux, comme un projecteur de cinéma. Passionnant et mystérieux, Midnight Special est haletant de bout en bout et se termine dans un final halluciné, entre thriller et SF.” Vincent Formica

Limitless Bande-annonce VO

Limitless de Neil Burger avec Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro (RTL9, 20h40) : “Un thriller amoralement efficace et visuellement audacieux porté par un formidable duo d’acteurs (Bradley Cooper / Robert De Niro). A consommer sans modération, l’effet secondaire n’étant ici que pur plaisir.” Guillaume Martin

Gazon maudit Bande-annonce VF

Gazon maudit de Josiane Balasko avec Alain Chabat, Victoria Abril (NRJ 12, 20h55) : “Gazon Maudit est une des meilleures comédies françaises sorties durant les années 90 ! Le trio Alain Chabat, Victoria Abril, Josiane Balasko fait des merveilles. Le film ose traiter de l’homosexualité de manière frontale, sans foncer tête baissée dans les clichés et nous gratifie de scènes savoureuses à souhait comme celle où Chabat se balade à poil et se prend un coup de boule magistral par Balasko. Hilarant !” Vincent Formica

DENVER — 

He has seen all the clips, watched the games from 2018 and shared the same practice field.

On Sunday, though, Thomas Davis — a 15-year veteran, past Super Bowl participant and Walter Payton Man of the Year winner — is going to experience a career first.

He’s going to line up in an NFL game and have Derwin James out there with him.

“The guy is a 100-mph guy, 100% of the time,” Davis said. “I’ve seen the tapes from last year. He’s always going to bring high energy.”

As a group, the Chargers could be in unusually lofty spirits against Denver, particularly for a team that has lost two in a row and is 4-7 and barely breathing as a playoff hopeful.

They’re about to welcome back James, their All-Pro strong safety who turned his rookie season a year ago into a crusade of highlights.

James last appeared for the Chargers in early August, during their 2019 preseason opener, playing 11 forgettable snaps in a mostly meaningless loss at Arizona.

A week later, he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot during practice, had surgery and began the season on injured reserve.

The Chargers on Saturday activated James, meaning he’ll make his much-anticipated, more-belated 2019 debut in Week 13 against the Broncos.

It took until the first day of December, but the Chargers defense finally has its full swagger back.

“He’s always going to be where he’s supposed to be,” Davis said of James. “He’s a sure tackler. He makes plays when the ball is in the air. He’s all that you would want in a safety.”

The Chargers also activated Adrian Phillips from IR on Saturday, bringing back another key member of their defensive backfield and a 2018 All-Pro on special teams.

Phillips had been out since breaking his right arm in a Week 2 loss at Detroit. He replaced James at strong safety to start the season but played only 111 snaps before getting hurt.

Now, the Chargers defense is as complete as it has been all season, even with starting cornerback Michael Davis beginning a two-game suspension because of a substance abuse violation.

On offense, the Chargers also are close to having their starting tackles return. Russell Okung (groin) and Sam Tevi (knee) both practiced to some degree last week and are listed as questionable for Sunday.

With James and Phillips back, the only full-time starter still on IR is center Mike Pouncey.

It might be too late to salvage their season, but the Chargers are at least in position to now go down with most of their pieces finally in place.

“We kind of know the odds are stacked against us,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “But this group’s gonna fight, I can tell you that. … We’re gonna figure out a way to win some of these close games that we’ve been losing.”

With the team’s physical health at a season high, the next question is the health of Philip Rivers’ game.

The veteran quarterback is coming off a two-week stretch in which he threw seven interceptions, a glaring, career-worst performance that has brought rampant speculation that Rivers’ abilities are dwindling.

This game against the 3-8 Broncos is not one that will capture the interest of the rest of the country or even notable chunks of the NFL.

But that doesn’t mean it lacks significance to a franchise icon who is unsigned beyond this season and wants to remain with the franchise.

“I’ve been through rough stretches before,” Rivers said. “It’s by no means any fun. But I think you can find something [in] it. You grow from it, and you keep going.

“I’m not the first person who’s dealt with some tough things in this sport. You hate it from our team standpoint … [but] there are a lot of worse things that could be going on than a rough two-game stretch in a football season.”

Rivers has 14 interceptions and two lost fumbles, his 16 turnovers the second-most in the NFL. The opposition has scored on seven of those miscues, with six touchdowns and a field goal.

As a team, the Chargers have 15 turnovers since Week 5. Only Tampa Bay has more during that stretch.

“Guys know what we have to do,” Lynn said. “We’re turning the ball over and not taking it away enough. They know I’m not going to keep talking about it, too. We’re gonna take care of the football or else.”

He didn’t specify what “or else” could entail. But it’s clear that the 4-7 Chargers, as a whole, have reached a point of “or else,” the return of someone as important as James perhaps coming too late.

Asked what he expects to see from Rivers on Sunday, Lynn said: “Most great athletes respond well. I believe Philip’s going to respond well.”

Responding otherwise will only further advance a story that threatens to eclipse a season that’s already quickly setting.

Etc.

The Chargers placed wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday and promoted wide receiver Jalen Guyton to the active roster.

Defensive tackle T.Y. McGill and safety Shalom Luani were waived.

Breaking down how the Chargers (4-7) and Denver Broncos (3-8) match up on the field heading into Sunday’s game at Empower Field at Mile High:

When the Chargers have the ball

Philip Rivers has spent the last two weeks being told he’s fast approaching the conclusion of a career that figures to send him into the Hall of Fame. Rivers, however, insists he hasn’t heard — or, at least, listened to — the chatter regarding his sudden decline. Asked about the critiques, he said talk of his career crash landing “makes me laugh really.” All of this has come as the result of back-to-back losses during which Rivers’ accuracy and decision-making have been sharply dissected. He threw seven interceptions in those two games, half of his total for the season. Including his two lost fumbles, Rivers has 16 turnovers, the second-highest total among quarterbacks behind Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston. With the Chargers alive for a playoff berth only mathematically, Rivers should have plenty of motivation Sunday. When these teams met in Week 5, Denver won 20-13 after severely limiting Rivers’ deep options. That was the game in which running back Austin Ekeler caught 15 passes. Rivers threw 48 times, completing 32, and the Chargers somehow didn’t score a touchdown on offense. The veteran quarterback has a ton of reasons to want to play well and be productive this time around.

When the Broncos have the ball

The Chargers have faced running back Phillip Lindsay twice, and he has averaged 7.4 yards in 26 carries and scored three touchdowns against them. Undrafted in 2018 out of Colorado, Lindsay is the Denver edition of the Austin Ekeler story. “When he breaks through the line,” Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said, “he runs like he knows he’s fast.” Free safety Rayshawn Jenkins, coming off a stellar game against Kansas City’s speed, again will be counted on to take the proper angles and approaches to limit Lindsay. The Broncos rushedfor 191 yards and averaged six yards per carry against the Chargers in the teams’ first meeting. On the plus side, the Broncos are expected to start rookie quarterback Drew Lock, a second-round draft pick in April. Lock, who has been sidelined by a thumb injury, has yet to make his NFL debut. On the negative side, the Chargers already lost to a rookie quarterback, one making his first NFL start, during Week 6. Pittsburgh’s Devlin Hodges finished 15 for 20for 132 yards and one touchdown on a night when Steelers fans hijacked Dignity Health Sports Park.

When they kick

When these teams played each other in October, the Chargers’ only touchdown came on a 68-yard punt return by Desmond King. That play and a 43-yard kickoff return by King are about the only notable moments for the Chargers’ special teams when returning kicks this season. And King is coming off a game in which he struggled just to catch punts, an issue coach Anthony Lynn blamed on the Aztec Stadium lighting in Mexico City. Punting in the thin air of Denver hasn’t been an advantage for the Broncos’ Colby Wadman, who ranks 28th in the league in average (43.8 yards) and 32nd in net average (38.4).

Jeff Miller’s prediction

Picking the Chargers in this spot is difficult because they’ve lost five of the last six games in which they’ve been favored. That includes the first meeting between these two, when the Broncos’ defense stifled the Chargers. But, at some point, the Chargers should more closely resemble the team so many people thought they’d be this season. And now they’re matched up against a 3-8 Denver bunch dealing with a variety of injuries, turning to a rookie quarterback and lacking anything significant for which to play.

New England’s Matthew Slater, an All-Pro special teams captain, has changed several games with blocked kicks, open-field tackles and balls downed near the opponent’s goal line. We don’t often hear much about special teams. I was wondering, is a guy like Slater, a career special teams star, unique now or even in NFL history?

John Thompson, Downey

Farmer: No question, Matthew Slater is phenomenal, both as a player and an influence in the locker room. His dad, longtime Rams tackle Jackie Slater, is in the Hall of Fame, and Matthew is assembling a convincing case for Canton on his own. He’s a rare player, but not a unique one. Every relatively recent era seems to have a handful of special teams stars, beyond kickers and punters, who routinely affect games.

To get more insight on the topic, I reached out to Steve Tasker, a Hall of Fame semifinalist, to get his thoughts on what kind of players are built to succeed on special teams, on the fringes of the spotlight. Tasker, who spent most of his career with the Buffalo Bills, was a seven-time All-Pro selection — Slater is a four-time first-teamer — and made his biggest impact as a sure-tackling gunner on kick and punt teams.

“You get kids nowadays who will say when they’re in high school or college that they’ll do anything to play in the National Football League,” Tasker said. “But when they get to an NFL training camp, they decide that they won’t cover kicks to make an NFL team.

“They won’t try and block kicks, they won’t block for a kick returner, there’s a ton of things they won’t do to play in the NFL. That was always really puzzling to me because I did anything they would ask me to to play in the NFL.

“There’s a ton of guys out there who literally turned their backs on an NFL career because they didn’t want to cover kicks.”

Outstanding special teamers didn’t always have the status they do now. From 1964 to 1973, teams had a game-day roster limit of 40 players — six fewer than now — and special teams was more of an afterthought, often a way for second-stringers to get playing time. But when the rosters expanded, teams had the luxury of signing or developing some special-teams aces, and in a league so competitively balanced, strength in those areas often made the difference between winning and losing.

“Marv Levy used to tell us there was a difference of about 2% between the best and worst teams in the league,” Tasker said, referring to the Hall of Fame Bills coach.

“It’s not very much. They all draft their players from the same pool, sign their free agents from the same pool. It’s hard to get an edge. He made a point to us: ‘Listen, that 2% is 100% of the difference. So you’ve got to get it whenever you can.’

“And for us at the time, particularly when I got to Buffalo, special teams was the big difference maker.”

If booth reviews are decided in New York, why does the referee watch on a monitor?

Corey Ellyn, Long Beach

Farmer: If the on-field officials are out of the loop on a play that’s being challenged and/or reviewed, it might be faster to exclude them completely and let the officials on the fifth floor at the league’s Park Avenue headquarters quickly make their decision.

I asked league spokesman Michael Signora about that, and he said the referee watches the replay “for consultation purposes” while officials in New York make the call.

All games are monitored by league personnel in the Art McNally Gameday Central nerve center at NFL headquarters.

When a coach throws a red challenge flag, Al Riveron, the league’s head of officiating, is patched through to that game’s referee. Riveron has a wall of touch-screen monitors and looks for the best angle to judge the play.

Those video feeds are limited to what the networks provide, so Riveron does not have access to any coaches tape or in-house cameras.

Riveron is looking for “clear and obvious visual evidence” that would warrant changing a call. Absent that, the league won’t change it. And while he will listen to the opinion of the on-field official, who is also looking at the video, Riveron has the final say.
