WEDNESDAY, JULY 6
HACKSAW RIDGE---poster released for the Mel Gibson movie about Corporal Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington. Vince Vaughn, Teresa Palmer and Hugo Weaving star.
THE DOWNSLOPE---the first of an anti-war movie trilogy based on Stanley Kubrick's undeveloped 1956 project set during the Civil War. The plot involves a series of battles in the Shenandoah Valley and the bitter rivalry between Union General George Armstrong Custer and Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby. Marc Forster (WORLD WAR Z) is the director/producer.
Also, Vivian Kubrick, Kubrick's daughter, denied conspiracy theory claims that her father helped NASA fake the first lunar landing in 1969 in which Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon, “Surely (!?) an artist, such as my father, whose profound degree of artistic integrity is self-evident, whose political/social consciousness is manifestly present in nearly every film he made. Whose highly controversial subject matter literally put his life at risk, and yet he continued to make the films he made … don’t you think he’d be the very last person EVER to assist the US Government in such a terrible betrayal of its people?!?”
