Brian De Palma To Direct QED’s ‘Key Man’

COMMENTS (15)

• Cahiers du Cinéma named Carlito’s Way and Femme Fatale as the best pictures of their respective decade. The most original and underrated auteur still working today.

• classy choice! nice to see classic filmmakers booking gigs rather than some random music video director or a guy who has just done one short.

• Awesome news. I always look forward to De Palma’s latest. I only wish he worked more.

• Except that “The Black Dahlia” was TERRIBLE! One of the biggest disappointments I saw that year (whatever year it was).

• DePalma has been attached to a dozen films since REDACTED and not a single one of them has come to light. I’m highly skeptical this one will either. That’s not to say I wouldn’t want to see a new DePalma thriller, but I won’t be holding my breath, either.

• My parents took me to see Scarface in the theatre when I was 8 and Body Double when I was 9. Have loved this man ever since. So happy to hear he is doing a new thriller.

• This one sounds good. I love De Palma. I loved The Black Dahlia. Redacted was The Hurt Locker before The Hurt Locker was. I hope this one actually makes it.

• DePalma has failed miserably time and time again since the unforgettable “Dressed To Kill”. “Body Double” was an attempt to cash in but it became disturbingly apparent that Brian was continuing to promote violence against women. His “Mission To Mars” was absolutely idiotic and dreadful. Brian…you are all washed up.

• I have always thought that DePalma was a criminally underrated director (Black D notwithstanding – yuck). If he was some french guy, he would have been treated like the second coming of Christ.

• 98% of the younger Directors working today would not know how to handle this kind of material. But no matter how much they pressure you Brian, please, no more than 10% CGI.

• I love Brian DePalma. I’ve seen all his fims. I remember seeing the Untouchables at the Cinadome. I told my husband when we stood up during the credits “Sean Connery will win the Oscar for his badass preformance.”

  Excellent preformances all they way around for Untouchables !
