This scene from a Spielberg classic still amazes James Cameron

It’s always interesting to hear what one legendary filmmaker has to say about the work of another legendary filmmaker. This is what happened in an interview between Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, via video broadcast on YouTube. Avatar director says he could watch Close Encounter of the Third Kind “on cable at 3 a.m.” and would still be amazed by the mothership scene, and the sense of awe and wonder it conveys arouses. “I still have a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye,” he said, remembering the sequence. Spielberg’s film, which was a huge box office success, tells the story of a man whose life is turned upside down after an encounter with an unidentified flying object.

The sequel to The Tomorrow War still under construction

The Amazon Prime Video original film “The Tomorrow War” was the biggest success on Jeff Bezos’ platform in 2021. That’s all! Directed by Chris McKay and recently broadcast on TF1, this science fiction feature film was originally released in the middle of a pandemic. After the release of the first film, the question of a sequel was quickly put on the table. Although this was indeed made official, little news has been given since. The most we know is that the script was being written last year. Despite everything, we know that Chris Pratt will still be there, and that a spin-off is under discussion.

Actually, Doctor Who is terrifying

Former Doctor Who series showrunner Steven Moffat gave an interesting take on the main character’s actions, indicating that they could be considered scary in another context. In any case, this is what indicates Screenrant, repeating an interview with the Times. Moffat, who has been linked to the franchise for 12 years, said the Doctor could be seen as a frightening entity if you took away the comedic aspects of the series. “If you take away the comedy, the Doctor is terrifying. This guy rushes into the middle of every fight he can find and decides who should win. People have one chance, and then he wipes out their species,” he explained. This is a description that is ultimately not very common and has the merit of highlighting the sometimes cruel actions of the character.
