That being said Howard is no slouch either and was the perfect casting for Ironman.Ī re-cast of this nature will make the general public(non-comic geeks) both confused and irritated. I love Cheadle but who doesn't? The guy has an amazing filmography so please don't hate. His earlier comments about a spin-off were misconstrued and that doesn't sound like it would be a viable reason for his departure. However, after listening to Howard's interview on NPR he does sound pretty genuine in his responses. Did Marvel really screw this one up?įirst off, you have to take everything you read on the web with a grain of salt(except,of course, ). And I think letting Howard lead on as War Machine would've been utter perfection. As I said, Cheadle just doesn't fit as well as Howard, in my own opinion. If they did bring Howard back yet again, I would come to forget all about this because I would be so much happier that he's back. Is there any chance that he could come back after they've already announced Cheadle? I don't know what to think - Hollywood is a bitch sometimes. I'm curious whether Marvel really had some sneaky agenda behind the curtains surrounding Howard's involvement. If you've got some time to spare and want to listen to a fantastic interview with Terrence Howard, then head over to NPR. Not that I'm completely opposed to Don Cheadle, but I truly loved Terrence Howard as Rhodey. Even friendships, people you support…" That's quite a sad response and it definitely puts a damper in all the faith that we had in Marvel all along. ![]() " Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up. But apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on, sometimes." If you think that's a brutal way to cut off an actor, just listen to Howard's semi-emotional response. Howard added that, "I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something. But it was gone… just up and vanished." The night after the news was announced, I was talking with another friend of mine, who firmly believed that Marvel had announced this just as a way to get Howard's attention - and that he might be back eventually. "Yeah, I found that out, too," he said in an interview with NPR recently. Not only was it shocking to all of us, but apparently Howard himself didn't even know until he read the news. James Rhodes in Iron Man 2, the reaction was severe - most people seemed to really like Howard.

In 2023, Downey is expected to star in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer alongside Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Matt Damon. The actor is also involved in the shows Perry Mason and Sweet Tooth as executive producer. Among the highlights, it is worth mentioning Dolittle and "Sr.", the documentary that explores the life of Robert Downey Sr. Over the years, Downey reprised his role as Tony Stark in films such as Avengers, Captain America: Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming, but he also went on to star in other productions. Fortunately, by the 2000s his career stabilized again, and Iron Man was just what he needed to become a worldwide star.

This production, directed by Jon Favreau, follows Tony Stark, a billionaire inventor and CEO of Stark Industries who, after being kidnapped by a terrorist group, develops a mechanized armor and becomes Iron Man, a superhero fighting against those who threaten society. Releasing this movie was a gamble that could have gone wrong, but paid off in every way: it kicked off the MCU and consolidated shared universes in cinema, launched a franchise, propelled its actors and filmmakers to stardom and, of course, became an absolute box-office hit. The premiere of Iron Man in 2008 was a landmark event in the history of cinema that dramatically altered the future of superhero movies.

And Swain County’s citizens gave the unfinished Lakeview Drive its popular, albeit unofficial name “The Road To Nowhere.” The environmental issue was eventually deemed too expensive and the roadwork was never resumed. And, of special importance to those displaced residents, it was to have provided access to the old family cemeteries where generations of ancestors remained behind.īut Lakeview Drive fell victim to an environmental issue and construction was stopped, with the road ending at a tunnel, about six miles into the park. Lakeview Drive was to have stretched along the north shore of Fontana Lake, from Bryson City to Fontana, 30 miles to the west. The Federal government promised to replace Highway 288 with a new road. ![]() The old road was buried beneath the deep waters of Fontana Lake. With the creation of the Park, their homes were gone, and so was Old Highway 288 the road to those communities. Hundreds of people were forced to leave the small Smoky Mountain communities that had been their homes for generations. Fontana Lake is actually a reservoir for Fontana Dam, which was built as a TVA project during World War II to produce electricity for ALCOA aluminum plants in Tennessee as well as for Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Manhattan Project. In the 1930s and 1940s, Swain County gave up the majority of its private land to the Federal Government for the creation of Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you plan to walk through the tunnel you might want a flashlight and be aware horseback riders use the tunnel. Walking through the quarter-mile-long tunnel takes you to Goldmine Loop, Forney Creek (great trout fishing), Lakeshore Trail and other connecting trails. About a half-mile before the tunnel at the end of the road, you’ll find great hiking and trout fishing on the Noland Creek Trail. It provides an overlook of Fontana Lake and access to a number of hiking trails. Lakeview Drive is a beautiful drive or strenuous bike ride – particularly in the Fall. On the map, it is called Lakeview Drive, but to the citizens of Swain County it is “The Road to Nowhere - A Broken Promise.” But should that happen, there is always The Road to Nowhere, a scenic mountain highway that takes you six miles into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and ends at the mouth of a tunnel.

In other words, he isn't saying "I wish I had never been born".Īs for the 'road to nowhere' part, I think he's saying he's trapped by his old habits.he isn't making any progress because his past keeps coming back to haunt him.

Franco copies the local's accent and odd speech patterns. He found what he was looking for in Dangeruss, a local rapper on whom Franco based his character, who drives a pimped-out Z28 and sports a shoulder tattoo shaped like Florida and 727 emblazoned on his chest. "Not a Southern white rapper, but a Southern white rapper specifically based in that area." "I wanted Franco's character to have a regional vibe," Korine said. "You took me to the ocean," says Mane's character, born and raised in St. They're talking about how they used to be pals. Franco's Alien meets his best-friend-turned-nemesis, played by rapper Gucci Mane, in a strip club dressing room.

You'll recognize the sunsets and magic-hour light and locations like Corey Avenue in St. More than that, it's a film that's specific to Tampa Bay. While the nudity and Skittles-colored party atmosphere is purposefully overdone, his movie is very Florida. I finally feel like I can be who I want to be here." "I never want to go home," Faith (Gomez) says later. Pete," Alien (Franco) tells the women after he bails them out of jail. We hear versions of this line throughout the movie. "It was almost like everyone was trying to become someone else," he said. He said he began to discover a bent version of the American dream. He'd drive around and get lost and knock on doors. He had also been thinking about creating a "humorous and sociopathic mystic gangster" role for James Franco, who had been a fan of Korine since he saw Kids in high school. He wanted to find iconic, familiar imagery on which he could hang a "hyper-poetic, hyper-warped" movie. "I just liked the world and the colors of it." He collected anything that mashed adolescent Florida debauchery against childish accessories, like fingernail polish or flip-flops or Hello Kitty bags. He said he had been collecting spring break imagery for several years, pulling photos from co-ed porn sites and fraternity sites. The inspiration for Spring Breakers, like much of Korine's work, was an assortment of pictures. The New York Times called his movie Gummo (1997) "the worst film of the year," which prompted a call from director Werner Herzog, who told Korine, "This movie is now destined to live forever." He's the same dude who dressed in an old-person mask and lurked around Nashville defiling Dumpsters for his "found" film Trash Humpers (2009). He's the same peculiar and talented filmmaker who picked fistfights with strangers in New York for Fight Harm, which ceased production when a bouncer broke Korine's leg. Those who know Korine, 40, who broke onto the scene with the screenplay for Larry Clark's Kids (1995) at age 19, never suspected otherwise. |
