Confusion over scene; theatres put up warning
Los Angeles: Theatres in the US have have attached a warning with the film The Last Jedi after one of its scene caused confusion among the moviegoers. The Rian Johnsondirected film features a scene where the sound completely cuts out for 10 seconds as a way to underscore the action of a certain sequence.
Many fans thought it to be a technical fault in the movie halls but AMC theatres have posted warning to clear the air over the scene. “Please note: The Last Jedi contains a sequence at approximately 1 hour and 52 minutes into the movie in which ALL sound stop for about 10 full seconds.
“While the images continue to play on the screen you will hear nothing. This is intentionally done by the director for a creative effect,” said the warning, a screenshot of which was posted by actor Paul Scheer. Luke would never say that. I’m sorry. “Well, in this version, see I’m talking about the George Lucas Star Wars.” — PTI Los Angeles: Actor Diane Kruger says the fact that powerful men have lost their jobs in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal in Hollywood is a sign of positive change. The actor said unlike the past these men are no longer being given
a chance to come back. “We’re seeing the change as it’s happening. All these men are gone.
I’m actually amazed how many companies have severed ties with those men immediately. “They don’t get just a slap on the back and then come back. Actually, you know, it’s happening,” she said at the Hollywood Reporter’s Live Roundtable.
Kruger, who won the best actress award at Cannes this year for her film In the Fade, said she did not go into it looking at it like a revenge film. “To me this is a movie about grief and a woman’s journey of how to find a way to keep going, or not keep going,” she said. Directed by Fatih Akin, the film revolves around a German woman.
