Tim posted screenshots from METROPOLIS back in Nov 22, 2019. As of Feb 10, 2023 it's still up there.
If the rumours are true and Apple has Sam Esmail helming a tv series with Timothee Chalamet in it then the world as we know it will change forever that wd be okay i guess 😅.
- Sam is a razor sharp writer (MR ROBOT) and intrepid filmmaker (COMET).
- And Apple's FOUNDATION shows they can do sci fi fantasy & adapt stories by updating them with just the right amount of respect.
- And given that Freder has that saviour thing going on as well, I cant wait to see how Tim makes him different from Paul Atreides.
I wonder if they might gender flip the story so that the rich kid rebel (Freder) is a woman and the working class saint (Maria) is a guy. Not for any reason other than those few minutes that the saint is shown as a seductress. And i think showing people getting whipped into a sexual frenzy over a woman is so eyerollingly cliche. Throw Timmy into that role and ... well... if ever there was a man who could seduce men and women into comitting sins... (Btw this film came out in 1927, nearly a century ago!!!!😲)
