The Midnight Sky: How George Clooney Made His Emotional and Timely Sci-Fi Movie

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
George Clooney has a relatively simple answer when asked by Den of Geek what inspired him to make his first science fiction film as a director, The Midnight Sky. “I thought I had a take on it, you know?” says Clooney, who also stars in his seventh outing behind the camera. “I felt like there was a story that I understood in a way about what we’re capable of doing to one another if we don’t pay attention, if we don’t listen to science, if we don’t pay attention to divisions and hatred and pay that forward.

The Midnight Sky Review: George Clooney Returns to Space in Netflix Movie

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Until until now, George Clooney’s efforts as a director have stayed firmly planted on Earth, with the stories that attract him being either inspired by true events (Good Night, and Good Luck) or tapped directly into the zeitgeist (The Ides of March). With The Midnight Sky, Clooney not only expands his horizons as a filmmaker, literally, but he also takes a giant leap into the speculative. In the process, he’s made a film that doesn’t always hang together, yet it ends up as possibly his most moving feature to date. To be sure, Clooney’s track record as a director is…

Midnight Sun Review (Spoiler-Free)

New DVD release, ,
Like Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun is older than it looks. Stephenie Meyer’s retelling of Twilight, her iconic YA novel of female desire, from the perspective of the smoldering vampire lover was first teased back in 2008, around the release of the final book, Breaking Dawn. At the time, Meyer announced that she would not be finishing the manuscript, as the first twelve chapters had leaked online and she felt like she had lost control of the story. By the time she warmed again to the idea, over the intervening years, the project was again derailed by the emergence of E.L.…

New DVD release, , , ,
There’s a very good chance we’re going to read Midnight Sun, the companion novel to pop culture juggernaut Twilight that retells the first story in the Stephanie Meyer YA vampire series from Edward Cullen’s perspective.

From short stories to book series, hopefully there’s something…
