MENZANAS

.: iapygian deity associated with horses :.

[IMG TRANSCRIPTION: H Y Z I H … Δ Ε Λ Ε Μ Ε Ζ Η Ν Α Ι | DESCRIPTION: a ring found in the village of Duvanli, Bulgaria, depicting a horse with a rider. | SOURCE: Ivan Duridanov, The Language of the Thracians, VI: The Thracian inscriptions.]

.: :.

While Menzanas is also considered an epithet of Zis (Zeus), and the Roman grammarian Festus calls him Iuppiter Menzana, Menzanas may well have originally been a deity of his own. Just as Iuppiter and Zeus are kings among gods, Menzanas seems to have been super important in Messapia, so it’s….. plausible that your average Roman travel writer was like “oh so he’s Jupiter then, got it.” After Roman conquest, however, inscriptions in sanctuaries show that Jupiter and Menzanas truly were syncretized by worshipers.

“Menzanas” basically means “horse guy” in Messapic. Various Greek/Roman writers mention that a horse was sacrificed each year to Menzanas in Messapia. Even Messapus, the friend of Aeneas who Messapia is named for (by outsiders), was a horse-tamer in the Aeneid.

I’ve seen multiple scholars refer to Menzanas as “la somma divinità”—the supreme divinity of the Messapians. Greek- and Latin-speaking authors describe a yearly ritual among Messapians in which a horse is burned in sacrifice to Menzanas. This is one of the only etic descriptions we have of Iapygian ritual—the rest of our understanding of Iapygian religious practices comes almost entirely from archaeological evidence.

Rating Brazilian characters in foreign media (updated)

Jenny Kord (Blue Beetle)

Where do I start? Bruna Marquezine on her first Hollywood movie, playing a wonderful, brilliant important character in a DC movie. 10/10. I loved every second of Blue Beetle, I don’t care what anyone says, Jenny owns me. She spoke 3 words total in Portuguese and I was ready to give up my firstborn for her.

Iván Carvalho (Elite)

The whole “I’m in love with this guy who’s fucking my dad while I’m fucking his sister” thing? That could be the plot of a Brazilian soap opera any day, so 8/10 just for the pure chaos of that. I know it’s messy af, but it’s refreshing to see Brazilians that are not trafficking drugs or being thugs, so I’ll gladly welcome the chaos.

Also, I love how the show included the conversations in Portuguese between him and his dad. It makes no sense for two characters who are fluent in a language not to speak it with each other when they are alone or emotional, especially if they’re family.

Emilia Alo

I have been obsessed with Gigi for years now and she’s very talented, so I of course love Emilia. It’s great to hear her saying Portuguese words during her dialogues and singing Brazilian songs. I do wish the show gave her more screen time though, so I’m giving this a 8/10

Also, it’s amazing to see a Brazilian character that’s bisexual and an artist in a mainstream Netflix show!

Marlon Sousa (Surviving Summer)

I know nobody watches this show but it was a really good surprise, similar to Ivan’s case, it has dialogues in Portuguese between Marlon and his mom, which is always great to see! It even has a scene where the character briefly talks about how hard it was to adapt to a new country and language and how important surf was to him in that process, overall 8/10

Roberto da Costa/Sunspot (The new mutants)

Burn it. Burn the whole thing down. Shamelessly white washing one of the few Brazilian superheroes (are we even surprised though, coming from Marvel?) was ridiculous. What the hell were they thinking, -100000/10

Vanessa (Taxi)

Look, is this movie good, objectively speaking? No.

Was this character a robber and a criminal - very stereotypically so? Yes.

Was Gisele Bündchen drop dead gorgeous in this and my gay awakening? Also yes.

So I’ll give her 7/10 for this sole reason

Paolo Montes (Trials of Apollo)

Look he is a very minor character with barely any lines and quite stereotypical features. That being said, he’s quite Brazilian in his refusal to say things in English, just speaking Portuguese nonstop and leaving the gringos to figure it out, which I love. Also the Brazilian kid having the worst luck and being Hebe’s son is quite funny. So I’ll give him 7/10

Eduardo Saverin (The social network)

Okay. I get it. Andrew is great, the whole “smacking a keyboard down” scene is amazing. It’s a 2010 movie, made before representation was a hot topic.

All that being said, the character is based in a real person. Kid’s name is Eduardo. He was born in Brazil, even though he was raised in the states.

Rubs me the wrong way he’s not played by a actor with a similar background. However, Eduardo, just like Andrew, is of Jewish descent through his immigrant grandparents, which is very accurate. Win some, lose some, I guess. Give it a 5/10 I suppose?

Honorable mention:

Rio

It’s a movie about blue macaws (Araras azuis in Portuguese), not a character in itself, so no ratings.

Even though it’s an USA-made movie, Rodrigo Santoro (all of our mothers’ crushes and a famous Brazilian actor) plays the main human character and the director is Brazilian. The songs are great, but English simply doesn’t do this movie justice.

This film in Portuguese marked my childhood, which is a testament to how great Brazilian dubbing is. Please listen to Hot Wings (Brazilian version).

Note: I know there were a few Brazilians in Shameless, never watched the shows but know they were drug dealers - which, yeah, not fun. I did see some scenes where Portuguese was being spoken though and it was quite funny.

Diventerò una Stella premio Lorena Mangano

Tutto pronto a Gioiosa Marea per la XII Edizione del Festival Canoro Nazionale Diventerò una Stella” premio Lorena Mangano

Dopo la semifinale nazionale svoltasi a Capo d’Orlando il 04 Giugno 2023 che ha visto presenti un massiccio numero di semifinalisti provenienti da tutta la Penisola e la Sicilia portando all’ammissione alla finale del 22 Luglio 2023 presso il Teatro “F. Borà” di Gioiosa Marea ben 50 artisti divisi in quattro categorie: Kids – Young – Cover e Inediti.

Si esibiranno alla finale del 22 Luglio 2023 sul palco della XII Edizione : Gumina Greta -Gusmano Matilda - Mattia Dario - Maugeri Francesco - Musico’ Rebecca -Petrella Greta -Pizzardi Antonino -Ruggeri Denise - Santoro Sofia - Torrisi Carola - Scinardo Giorgia e Adele Dominicis - Bonsangue Giorgia - Cacciola Maria Luisa - Ferrante Mauro- La Manna Morgana - La Spina Alice - Massafra Gianmarco - Patti Davide -Puma Clara - Rizzo Bernardette - Salerno Angelo - Scarfi’ Giovanni e Gabriele - Segreto Iolanda -Tumello Federica - Anastasi Miriam - Assenza Desiree - Battaglia Giorgia - Sunrise-Candela Giusy -Cavallaro Luisa - Disio - Dorsa Antonio Francesco - Monastra Martina - Nicotra Silvia Martina - Alba Grey -Puma Gabriele - Rasa Francesca - Rosaniti Lucia - Sciortino Claudia -Tortorici Clara - Bacco Marie Nicole - Ceraolo Giorgia - Degnitti Francesca -La Ganga Senzio Antonio - Mannelli Aurora - Miele Viviana - Naldi Sara - Spadaro Rosangela -Tolini Andrea -Ventura Alessia.

Obiettivo del “Diventerò una Stella” è dare formazione ai ragazzi sin dalla semifinale, infatti si sono tenuti anche degli stage formativi, nei locali del LOC-Laboratorio Orlando Contemporaneo, tre incontri formativi, “L’importanza della presenza scenica dell’Artista” a cura del Maestro Francesco Mazzullo, “Pensare da Artista” con Salvo Battaglia e un corso organizzato con la collaborazione e partecipazione di Massimiliano Fiasconaro, Ispettore capo della Polizia Stradale di Sant’Agata di Militello, da sempre impegnato su questo fronte sull’educazione stradale utile a sensibilizzare i ragazzi ad un corretto comportamento in strada nel rispetto delle norme del codice della strada. Formazione che continua per tutti i ragazzi iscritti anche durante la giornata del 22 Luglio con i Maestri Nazionali.

“Diventerò Una Stella”, negli anni, è divenuto un punto di riferimento per tutti quei ragazzi che coltivano il sogno di salire su di un palco e la XII edizione ha registrato una folta partecipazione e interesse verso questa manifestazione alla quale accorrono giovani da ogni parte della Penisola e della Sicilia. Anche quest’anno un grande lavoro si sta svolgendo per la realizzazione della scenografia, diversa ogni anno, che con la sua dimensione immersiva, renderà il festival una bellissima esperienza oltre che musicale anche visiva e sensoriale. Sul palco della serata finale del 22 luglio a Gioiosa Marea, al vincitore assoluto, andrà una borsa di studio del valore di 1000 euro, e a decretarlo ci sarà una Giuria di altissimo valore dove il Presidente sarà il Maestro Beppe Vessicchio, mentre gli altri componenti saranno Ivan e Fabio Lazzara, Andrea Rizzoli, Luca Madonia, Marco Vito e Fabrizio Palma. Presente anche un altra Giuria, quella della Stampa che assegnerà il “premio Critica Sergio Granata” composta da Giornalisti e Critici Musicali come Salvatore Battaglia, Francesco Fiore, Roberta Fonti, Elisa Cortorillo, Manuela Varrica, Valerio Barghini, Massimo Scaffidi, Maria Elena Caliò, Antonino Muscaglione.

Ancora una volta ribadiamo la necessità e l’utilità di queste manifestazioni che con grandi sacrifici e dispendio di forze ed energie, aiutano chi vuole intraprendere la strada del canto e della musica in generale, dando risalto e formazione.

Il Festival canoro, assume anche una funzione sociale. “Diventerò una stella”, non solo musica . Un festival che dal 2016 (anno in cui si è svolto a Sant’Agata di Militello) è intitolato a Lorena Mangano, la 23enne di Capo d’Orlando che in una tragica sera di fine giugno di quell’anno perse la vita a Messina a seguito di un incidente stradale causato da due uomini che, sotto l’effetto di alcol, avevano inscenato in pieno centro cittadino una gara automobilistica. Lorena morì, ma i suoi organi, per volere della famiglia, furono donati, “consentendo ad altri di continuare a vivere ma anche a noi di vedere in queste persone Lorena”, come confermano le parole di Marilena, sorella di Lorena. Il “Diventerò una Stella” è musica unita al sociale un aspetto che nelle ultime edizioni ha trovato espressione anche nell’assegnazione di uno specifico premio, che quest’anno verrà conferito al Dott. Francesco Saporito commercialista di Patti (Me) dove risiede, quando nel 2013, poco più che quarantenne, ha scoperto di essere malato di SLA.

Sarà presente la giuria radiofonica di Radio Amore, una collaborazione consolidata con il Festival. Tra gli ospiti il cantautore siciliano Luca Madonia e il cabarettista Dario Veca. La presentazione sarà curat

a dal Direttore Artistico Maria Vitale e dal Giornalista e Attore Regista Francesco Mazzullo.

L’ evento avrà inizio alle ore 17,00 per i finalisti categoria Kids e Young e alle ore 21,00 per i finalisti categoria cover e inediti presso il Teatro “F. Borà” di Gioiosa Marea con ingresso libero.

New Post has been published on https://techcrunchapp.com/hollywood-looks-to-game-changer-tech-news-uticaod/

Hollywood looks to 'game changer' tech - News - Uticaod

New LED video wall technology used in making last year’s “The Lion King” and “The Mandalorian” series could become more widespread as Hollywood production ramps back up during the pandemic.

Instead of shooting on location with a full cast and crew and navigating stringent social distancing requirements, it allows filmmakers on a studio lot to spread out individual scenes captured virtually using a variety of techniques.

Unlike a traditional “green screen,” the actor can see the background and cinematographers can match perspectives and camera parallax to look like a location shoot.

“The Lion King” visual effects supervisor Robert Legato calls the video wall and move toward virtual production a “game changer” that’s being embraced by necessity during the pandemic.

“It is something that was going to happen anyway. It just would have taken longer because there would be no need for it immediately. Some people, you know, are stuck in their ways,” the three-time Oscar winner said.

More than half of “The Mandalorian” scenes were filmed with the technology. Emmy-winning visual effects specialist Sam Nicholson says it represents a “natural evolution” in the Hollywood effects world, where new technologies have been embraced after past crises — including a clampdown on travel after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

“We started taking shows like ‘E.R, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Walking Dead’ and saying, ‘Look, we don’t have to be on location to actually shoot there.’ It’s easier to bring the location to the production than the production of a location,” Nicholson said.

He believes the pandemic will move Hollywood “from the Cecil B. DeMille era where ‘everything is real’ and going to more of a George Lucas era.”

“If you’re a producer, can you really afford to have your entire crew and actors go and be quarantined for two weeks before you start shooting?” he said.

Film production is just one of many industries that have had to adapt so people can go back to work in person.”

The “Avatar” sequels that recently resumed filming in New Zealand are also using virtual camera systems.

“We’ve been helping the ‘Avatar�� folks for a while,” said Dave Hoffman of Blackmagic, an Australian company that makes cameras and video production hardware.

Director Thea Sharrock had to rely on virtual production to finish her latest film, Disney’s “The One and Only Ivan,” and she found the process “peculiar.”

“We had one extra element that we had to do with music that we had to deal with via Zoom, which was extraordinary and weird and peculiar not being in the room with people,” Sharrock said.

She added: “Doing what we do is all about collaboration. It’s all about being in a room with people, and that’s how you get the work done. That’s how you push projects forward. So, it’s very, very peculiar.”

Nicholson shares a similar feeling. While he understands these technologies can help resume production during the pandemic, he doesn’t see it as a complete substitute for returning to a normal workflow.

“It does represent a fundamental change in production towards the virtual realm where anything is possible. But by saying anything is possible, you still have to put the story up front. You still have to put the acting up front and use it as a supportive tool to put the wrapping on the story,” Nicholson said.

Still, virtual production can provide a viable solution during the pandemic, and perhaps become a useful production technique moving forward.

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who stars in the new Netflix film “Project Power,” agrees: “It’s about sort of finding a good pairing between the tech you’re using and the story you’re trying to tell,” he said.

Gordon-Levitt’s “Project Power” co-star Rodrigo Santoro has worked on visual effects-heavy productions including the “300” films and “Westworld.” He sees others in the industry open to adapting.

“The thing with the CGI, especially now during the pandemic, (is) that it’s teaching us so many lessons and so many things about how we can reinvent ourselves,” Santoro said.

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: MOVIE REVIEW: Project Power

(Image courtesy of Netflix)

PROJECT POWER— 2 STARS

Whether it’s initially scribbled on a shitty cocktail napkin in a fog of bong smoke while occupying a disheveled couch or composed neatly on a souped-up MacBook atop a Feng Shui desk in a posh nook of some creative person’s living space, a potent idea can propel a writer’s bender to attempt a screenplay. Netflix’s Project Power has one of those high concepts where the mere thought of it gets you to hear late announcer Don LaFontaine in your head. Putting on his pitch voice, imagine a world where people can gain temporary superpowers from a mere pill. Picture the intriguing implications, suspense, and spectacle and your popcorn starts cooking already.

Now, at the peak of such anticipation, go back and remember the high concept movies you’ve seen that had very little beyond that one good idea. Feel a burn or two? Is Andrew Niccol, or worse M. Night Shyamalan, spinning and killing your brain cells again? Regrettably, kind of like erectile dysfunction, this kind of thing happens sometimes. Add Project Power to the list of damn good concepts that stop short of critical mass.

What is Project Power like mixing urban drug culture with edgy comic book overtones? Funny you should ask. Take it back to when even a pro like Don LaFontaine couldn’t keep a straight face pretending to sell male enhancement drugs on The Tonight Show. The listed side effects he exaggerates with an invasive giggle for such medication could easily match this actioner from the Nerve and Paranormal Activity 4 directing team of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The pitfalls are the same.

In the Netflix flick, the Crescent City is beginning to percolate with an uptick of crime incidents coupled with fantastical tabloid-like reports of superhuman feats. The cause is the invasive use of a new street drug dubbed “Power” that an organized source (in the form of the slick black hats of 300’s Rodrigo Santoro and Transparent’s Amy Landecker) is starting introduce into the New Orleans market through low-level drug dealers like the twitchy Newt (Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly) and teenaged rap impresario Robin (the co-headlining and multi-talented Dominique Fishback). The pricy glowing capsule grants the consumer unbridled effects for an extended hit of five minutes.

LESSON #1: YOU GET WHAT YOU GET— Power’s reaction is different for every “I want to see what happens” user. One person could wield fire, become bulletproof, or have an animalistic bonus. The next could explode or melt into a puddle of deformity or fleshy goo. The only way to find out is to take the pill and see what happens, and that’s the crux of the movie’s buzz. Just like the pill, you get what you get with Project Power. Some school teacher out there (ok, it’s this one) will add a poetic rhyme after that line to say “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.” Well, so much for a warning label.

The long-arm of the law combating this rapidly growing mini-crisis is represented by Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s dedicated homer Frank Shaver. Robin is one of Frank’s undercover informants and his own supplier of Power that he uses to secretly get an edge on the job off the books from his overmatched captain (a grossly underused Courtney B. Vance). Clad in an ever-present Steve Gleason New Orleans Saints jersey under his necklace badge and a poorly-accented “not in my town” tough guy scowl, JGL plays this role, for worse more than better, as Mark Wahlberg Lite. The more Frank seeks the suppliers to level the playing field, the more he suspects larger clandestine governmental involvement.

The smoking gun enigma who knows the deeper implications of Power and the connected network controlling it is Jamie Foxx’s ex-Army Ranger Art. His own vendetta of investigations crosses paths with Newt, Robin, and soon Frank as his target is an urgently personal one, namely his missing daughter Tracy (Kyanna Simpson). Along the way, the three encounter the escalation of the drug’s pervasive use and the entrapment of its unchecked consequences.

In those collected moments of nonsensical chases against unmotivated heavies, there is some sizzle for the escapist thrills that have been lacking this summer movie season. There is one dynamite action scene of note where Michael Simmonds’ camera stays on the calamitous transformation of a side character in the foreground while the mayhem swirls behind them. Clever special effects from Ivan Moran and Yves De Bono paint manifested abilities over the stunts and fights coordinated by the team of Kevin Scott and Cory DeMeyers, all while Joseph Trapanese’s booming score sets the beatdown beats.

LESSON #2: KIDS, STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS— We get it. Superpowers are cool. We’d love some, but is it worth the risks just to see what happens for five minutes and a couple hundred bucks? Much like necessary exercise to get ripped and the hard work needed to get rich, there are no shortcuts. Nothing is free and drugs are too good to be true. Push the pills away. While you’re at it, don’t sell them either.

LESSON #3: BE SUPER ON THE INSIDE— Somewhere along the way, Art’s protective wing of wisdom extended to Robin tries to emphasize the greatness people have on the inside. Awww! Fishback is easily the core of the movie and Foxx is a lifting presence of integrity. Everyone has talents that don’t need to be super and they need to be fostered, shared, and used for the good of one’s self and others. Aww! That’s a nice higher place, but a clumsy pillar for a movie still dealing with more limited wrongdoers than heroes.

The fading buzz of Project Power comes from screenwriter Mattson Tomlin. Fair credit can easily be given to the future The Batman co-writer for that big bright central concept that grabs originality and attention. Project Power operates without comic book sources, though we’re all going to point our fingers at the borrowed logic, inspirations, and tropes. The movie makes an effort to form its own superhero sky above a grounded setting of tall buildings easy to bound. Like the chemical addiction on screen, you have at best, five-minute spurts here and there of those leaps from the concept. You’re likely left asking where all of the power goes.

Riceviamo e pubblichiamo questo appello contro al norma che prevede la carcerazione degli imputati per il reato di imbrattamento. Si, proprio così: chi scrive sui muri oggi rischia il carcere. Per aderire mandare mail a [email protected] “Arrestateli! Arrestateli!“ Occorre modificare la norma dell’art.639 del Codice Penale Italiano giacché, l’inutile e strumentale guerra contro le tante espressioni autonome, non commissionate e creative per le strade (writing, street art, poesia di strada…) non costituisce la premessa ad una società migliore. Semplicemente rappresenta lo svilimento delle aspirazioni dei giovani e dei creativi che lottano alla ricerca di spazi di socialità e di concreta realizzazione. Con una veloce escalation legislativa, conseguenza di una propaganda informativa e culturale votata al populismo, siamo arrivati di fatto ai primi casi giudiziari il cui esito probabile è la carcerazione degli imputati per il reato di imbrattamento. Si, proprio così: oggi si può finire in carcere per usare vernice su un muro, nel nome del decoro. Stiamo parlando dell’ennesima legge “riempi carceri” e crediamo sia arrivato il momento di riflettere sul vero valore di certi comportamenti: non si può distruggere la vita di una persona perché usa colore su un muro, la legge deve essere misurata per essere credibile. E’ arrivato il momento che la politica si occupi dei problemi veri delle città, delle diseguaglianze, della crescita scomposta delle metropoli, dell’avanzamento degli estremismi, della cancellazione dello spazio pubblico e luoghi di socialità in nome della gentrificazione: continuare a cercare capri espiatori non �� la soluzione. Nell’era dell’informazione e della disinformazione digitale, la politica ha deciso di accellerare la lotta al graffitismo, per mostrare il volto della propria efficenza e trovare consenso: un gioco basato su strategie di comunicazione che sfrutta l’assioma : decoro urbano = sicurezza, promuovendolo fino a farlo diventare elemento di paura. Non vogliamo certamente affermare che dipingere sui muri non debba essere normato o che lo spazio altrui dei cittadini non meriti riconoscimento. Stiamo al contrario chiedendo che quanto deciso dal mondo politico debba essere commisurato in modo da non svilire l’intelligenza che è propria dell’essere umano e che deve essere orientata alla costruzione di un mondo migliore e possibile. “La prigione è una fabbrica che trasforma gli uomini in animali. Le probabilità che uno esca peggiore di quando ci è entrato sono altissime.” (Edward Bunker) per aderire mandare mail a [email protected] PRIME FIRME: Moni Ovadia – Scrittore e Attore / Wu Ming – Scrittori / Caparezza – Cantante/ Ivan – Poeta e Artista / Andrea Cegna – Giornalista / Corrado Gemini – Produttore Ctrl / Massimo Carlotto – scrittore / Sandrone Dazieri – scrittore / Tito Faraci – Fumettista e Scrittore / Frode – Artista / Davide Atomo Tinelli – Artista / Andrea Marrapodi Kiv – Artista / Walter Contipelli Orticanoodles – Artista /Francesco Ferreri – Chekos’art – Artista / Mr.Wany – Artista / Pao – Artista / Endone Volks Writerz – Artista / Mister Caos – Artista / Vandalo – writer / Felipe Cardeña & Felipe Cardeña Crew – Artisti / Maurizio Tarducci EricsOne – Graffiti Artist / Mattia Bonora – calligrafo / Jacopo Ceccarelli 2501 – artista / Roberta Introvaia – artista, pittrice / Paolo Cerruto – poeta /Collettivo Tempi diVersi / Alessandro Augelli – Responsabile Politiche Giovanili Cooperativa Il Calabrone – Brescia / Davide Casavola DPA – Artista Urbano e Produttore / Stefano Bonora – Artista Illustratore / Marco Teatro” – Artista Pittore Scenografo Decoratore / Giovanni Candida (WallsOfMilano) – Fotografo / Simone Pallotta – Critico e Curatore / Piger – Artista / Rancy – Artista / Morkone – Artista / Ratzo – Artsita / Norberto – Artista / Mate – Artista / Soviet – Artista / Ctrl Project – Associazione Culturale / Artkademy – Associazione Culturale / Marco Tangocci – Scrittore / Andrea Candrian Saten – Sindacalista / ZAM – Spazio Sociale Occupato / A Mi Manera – serigrafia / Associazione 167b Street – Lecce / Giovanni Chiantera Awer – artista / Solid Vibes Raggae Crew – Produttori e Dj / Golden Bass Sound System – musicisti e produttori / Alessandro Bertoldi – Produttore / Sonika – Etichetta Discografica / Mara Di Noia – Scrittrice / Giulia Buonarrivo – organizzatrice / Giorgio Andrea Giannone – Architetto / Giacomo Spazio – Artista / Jet4 – Writer / Claudio Agostoni – giornalista Radio Popolare / Dario Cossutta – politico e imprenditore / Francesco Cellamaro El Crespo – Graffiti Artist / Und1c1 – artiere / Christian Gangitano – Curatore Indipendente /Giuliano Santoro – Giornalista/Alberto Guidetti – Musicista/Alberto Cazzola – Musicista/Enrico Roberto – Musicista/Lodo Guenzi – Musicista/Francesco Draicchio – Musicista/Fondazione Alfonso Gatto / Filippo Trotta – scrittore e produttore

Netflix’s Project Power, and the Creatures That Inspired Each Ability

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Spoilers for Project Power to follow

Not for nothing are we called Den Of Geek. So when we were given the chance to chat with Project Power directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost and discovered that for the film they basically became massive science and nature nerds in creating some of the effects, this was very much ‘our bag’.

Project Power imagines a world where a street drug, just known as ‘Power’ imbues the user with almost super-heroic abilities but for just five minutes. The trouble is, exactly what powers you are going to get can’t be predicted. Some get strength and speed, others get instant death.

Each person in Project Power is effected differently and Joost and Schulman explain that they used examples from the natural world to add to the realism of the piece.

“That was something that we developed with the writer Mattson Tomlin and with our VFX supervisor Ivan Moran,” says Joost. “It was really just a product of us wanting to understand how power works and what it did to the human body and where these powers came from. We really didn’t want it to be magic or an alien, something from outer space. We wanted it to be something that was at least kind of relatively grounded in reality. The more we researched these animal powers, we were like, “Oh my God, these things all exist in nature already. Why not just let ourselves be inspired by that?”

There are examples explained in the movie which sound incredibly cool – a man who runs as fast as a big cat, another who shoots sharp bones from under his skin like the real life so called ‘Wolverine Frog’. But it’s not all sunshine and roses.

“It all started from a desire to take superpowers and ask ourselves what would actually happen to your body if you had that ability? What would be the side effects?” Schulman explains. “In the world of Project Power, superpowers come with super side effects. If there are side effects, then that had us thinking of them as science-based superpowers. Then we asked ourselves, where could you actually get a superpower? Well, maybe it’s lying dormant in your DNA. If it’s in the animal kingdom, it could potentially be in a human strain, and maybe the pill just reawakens those abilities.”

It’s a smart starting point for a film that really leans into the idea, allowing for some amazingly fun set pieces. Joost and Schulman break down some of our favorite Power moments, characters and creature-based set pieces from the film.

(L-R) Henry Joost, Jamie Foxx and Ariel Schulman on set of Project Power

The invisible man

Early on in the movie we see a man carry out a bank robbery who appears almost invisible – he’s blending in with his backgrounds perfectly as he moves through the streets – chameleon-like, you might say, though the inspiration for his power was actually a fish.

“If you take, for example, the invisible guy who’s actually camouflage guy, we all know that in real life invisibility is not really a thing. But there are animals that have such sophisticated camouflage that they appear to be invisible, like the cuttle fish and different cephalopods and lizards,” Joost explains. “We really dove into, how does that animal produce that effect, and that’s what we were trying to replicate with the visual effects.”

“I don’t know if you can notice, but the patterns on his skin are meant to mimic the surface of ink pods that are on a squid’s exterior and those pods, which can produce any mixture of color, are reflections of its surroundings,” Schulman adds. “Whether the audience picks up on that or not, for us, it was the only way we could dig into a scene and figure out what was happening, if we could understand how it was working.”

The big bang

“Well, it’s a bit of a spoiler, but the inspiration for the final power of the film, I won’t even say whose it is, is the chemical reaction that occurs when you put two grapes in a microwave…” says Schulman. Yes that’s right, two grapes. We also won’t spoil exactly what happens, to whom and why, but it’s an explosive finale inspired not just by grapes but also an unusual creature.

“It’s an effect that occurs in the animal kingdom with this animal called the pistol shrimp, which basically moves so fast that it creates a bubble of air that becomes plasma,” he explains. “This is a tiny, little animal, but we were like, ‘What would it look like if you created that on a macroscale of a person?’”

The python

In one memorable action sequence Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s cop, Frank fights with a guy whose limbs seem to defy nature, bending in ways the human body usually doesn’t. The crazy thing about this scene is that much of it was done for real.

“That guy’s name is Xavier and he’s a dancer from New York City that we made a dance film with a few years ago,” says Schulman. “When it came time to figure out what power Joseph should fight and who was going to do it, we thought of Xavier because he naturally has this extraordinary ability to dislocate several joints in his arms.”

“We thought, Oh, that’s cool. Maybe we could turn that into a rubbery python power, where you can use that ability to strangle your foe like a snake does. Since he already did it, that checked another one of our boxes, which was trying to do as many of the action scenes practically as possible and then adding flourishes of CGI to that,” he explains.

The bulletproof cop

Gordon-Levitt’s power is one that’s particularly handy for a law man. When he takes the pill his skin thickens until it so strong it becomes impenetrable to bullets.

“It was inspired by two animals. It was inspired by the armadillo, which has the famously armored skin. Then it was also inspired by this microscopic creature called the tardigrade,” says Joost.

“It’s the most hardy organism on Earth. They find them underwater, deep sea, and in volcanoes. I think maybe they can even survive in space for certain amount of time. They’re also called water bears. They’re really cute. You can look them up. They’re invisible to the naked eye, but we gave Joe some homework on the tardigrade and armadillo to check out before.”

These tiny creatures even became part of the director’s aesthetic choices for Gordon-Levitts tranformation scenes.

“The patterns you see forming on his skin are very similar to the pattern of the tardigrade’s exterior,” Shulman explains.

Nature’s own hulk

“If you’re going to explore science-based versions of superpowers, you’ve got to figure out how to do a scientific version of the Hulk,” laughs Schulman. He’s referring to the painful-looking power bestowed on ‘Project Power’ boss ‘Biggie’ played by Rodrigo Santoro.

“That one was actually really tough. I don’t know that we have a specific animal version, although it’s a hyper-speed version of the growth any animal goes through and the growing pains that any animal endures,” says Schulman.

“It was inspired by conditions like gigantism and Marfan syndrome and stuff like that where the body is growing uncontrollably,” Joost explains.

“Mike Marino who did the special effects makeup, really had fun with that. I think he’s got six nipples, three eyeballs and nostrils…” [The Hulk, not Mike Marino, we assume]

“The Hulk is awesome, but the Hulk grows so uniformly that he looks like Mr. Universe. We thought it would be interesting if a huge man grew uncontrollably and at random, and that it hurt a lot,” adds Schulman. “That was something Rodrigo, the actor, thought he could really work with, which is the pain of growing that big and what it does to your clothes. That hurts the most when you’re a dandy.”

“That’s right. Sharen Davis, who is the costume designer, put him in a suit,” Joost explains. “If you look really closely, it’s got this cross-hatched material that expands. It’s designed to get bigger, but he gets so much bigger than his clothes, he still rips through them. If you look closely, you can see that he was anticipating that maybe he would grow big that night.”

Running hot and cold

Two major set pieces in Project Power involve extremes of the same power – that of thermoregulation and what happens if it goes wrong. It’s showcased with the character of Newt (Machine Gun Kelly) and later with a character known as ‘frozen girl’. He explodes, she freezes to death in spectacular style.

“They’re actually opposite sides of the same spectrum, the power of thermoregulation, which almost every animal in the animal kingdom has. It’s the ability to maintain your body temperature in extreme scenarios,” Schulman explains. “Some animals can do it better than others. A polar bear can keep itself regulated in freezing cold. But if you’ve taken too much power or you have a bad reaction, it’ll go bonkers.”

“The idea was what would happen if your thermoregulations went completely out of control,” says Joost. “This is stuff I don’t expect anybody to pick up on, but, with Newt, if you look really closely at some of those shots of him right before he catches on fire, you’ll see that there’s superheated steam shooting out of his pores.”

The Newt sequence occurs at the start of the movie and it was a key introduction to the world of Project Power.

“In our initial pitch to Netflix, we said, ‘With the first power in the movie, the fire guy, we’re going to set the bar for realism right away. The idea is that we’d like to come as close to setting the actor on fire as possible. CGI fire isn’t what we’re looking for here.’” Schulman explains.

“The ultimate solution was a full-burn bodysuit, integrated with LED lights to cast interactive light. After every performance by Machine Gun Kelly, a stuntman would step in, having watched the monitor, and would imitate his exact movements in bursts of 10 seconds, completely on fire.

“It was extraordinarily time consuming and lasted about a week for that two- or three-minute sequence. Ultimately, we had real fire in a real location. A lot of the people we’d worked with said they hadn’t seen that or done that in 20, 30 years.”

Schulman says this death, and that of the girl freezing to death – which he describes as a really intricate process – were the ones he was most proud of.

“Those were huge learning experiences for us,” he says. “I think, Henry, we, more or less, achieved what we’d initially imagined in our heads, which doesn’t always happen.”

Joost concurs: “Yeah, I’m happy where it ended up.”

Project Power is available to stream now on Netflix.
