Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult Vying to Be Youngest Batman Yet
Catch up on the caped crusader casting drama plus the rest of the week's big news, including James Wan's Mortal Kombat and Chris Rock's Saw spin-off.

This Week's Ketchup brings you another 10 headlines from the world of film development news (those stories about what movies Hollywood is working on for you next), covering such titles as The Batman and… wait, you only want to know about The Batman, right? OK, here we go…
This WEEK'S TOP STORY
Robert Pattinson In Talks for The Batman, Along with Nicholas Hoult

British actor Robert Pattinson made his film debut as Cedric Diggory in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but he's probably still most recognized for playing the vampire Edward Cullen in the five Twlight Saga films. Now in his 30s, Pattinson has lately been focusing on independent and non-Hollywood films like Good Time, High Life, The Rover, and The Lost City of Z. Thursday night, the news broke that Pattinson is now in talks to continue his relationship with Warner Bros. (which produced the Harry Potter films) in one of their highest-profile upcoming projects, the DC Comics adaptation The Batman. That report came from Variety, but some competitors are cautioning that the deal with Pattinson is not final, with Nicholas Hoult (Tolkien, About a Boy) also in the running, if Pattinson does not sign on. The Batman will be the first solo movie for the DC Comics superhero since The Dark Knight Rises, and will be directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In), whose most recent film was 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes. Pattinson's next film for Warner Bros. will be an untitled Christopher Nolan's project (July 7, 2020), with The Batman scheduled nearly a year later on June 25, 2021.
Fresh Developments
1. The Next Star Wars Trilogy, Kicking off in 2022, Comes Via the Game of Thrones Showrunners

Much has been made this week about the declining Tomatometer scores for the last two episodes of Game of Thrones, but seen from the big picture, the show still retains an impressive 91% Tomatometer score. Having said that, Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Pictures may have been better off announcing this week's news earlier in the month. Last week, Disney confirmed that the Star Wars franchise will take a three-year hiatus after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (December 20, 2019) with new films every two years thereafter (December 12, 2022; December 20, 2024; December 18, 2026). This week we learned that the first of these new Star Wars films in 2022 will be produced by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. That revelation came with almost no other details, but there are lingering rumors that their Star Wars project will be set in the same era as the Star Wars: The Old Republic video games. Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is also reportedly working on a new Star Wars trilogy.
2. The Real Mandarin will appear in the MCU

As it turned out, Thanos was the "big bad" of the first 20 or so films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If we look back to the original Iron Man, however, the villain that was being teased was the Mandarin, one of Iron Man's oldest arch-nemeses. The road to the Mandarin continued in 2013 with Iron Man 3, and the "All Hail the King" Marvel One-Shot short film, but we have not yet seen the Mandarin in his classic form. This week, in a Reddit AMA, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige directly addressed The Mandarin, answering "Yes" to a question about future plans for the character. As to when we might see the Mandarin, one strong and obvious possibility is the Shang-Chi movie, which is currently in active development.
3. Sebastian Stan Joins Lupita Nyong'o and Jessica Chastain in Spy Movie 355

Something that we point out all the time here is that there have been so many Marvel movies by this point that many new films have at least a couple of Marvel stars (especially if we can include the Fox movies). Jessica Chastain (who's joining the club with next month's Dark Phoenix) is producing and starring in a new international spy movie called 355, which will start filming on July 8 in Paris before moving to London and Morocco. 355 will feature several female costars, including Lupita Nyong'o (Black Panther), Penelope Cruz, and Fan Bingbing (Blink from X-Men: Days of Future Past). We can now also add to the cast Sebastian Stan, a.k.a. the Winter Soldier, and Edgar Ramirez (who costarred with Penelope Cruz in TV's The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story). (Marion Cotillard had previously been attached to costar but has recently dropped out.) The title 355 is a reference to "Agent 355," a female spy during the American Revolution.
4. Rami Malek Finds Denzel Washington's Little Things
Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek recently signed on to star in the next James Bond film as the its villain, and this week, he signed on for another new project. Malek is in talks with Warner Bros. to join Denzel Washington in the police crime thriller The Little Things. Washington will play "a burned-out cop up in Kern County who teams with Baxter (Malek), a crack detective from the LA Sheriff's Department, to catch a serial killer." The Little Things refers to Washington's character's ability to see the "little things that can help solve a case."
5. Emma Thompson Joins Emma Stone In Disney's Cruella

Walt Disney Pictures is proceeding, a few movies a year, in their far-reaching plans to adapt their classic animated movies into live-action films (including next week's Aladdin). Just last week, Disney announced a release date of December 23, 2020 for Cruella, their live-action reimagining of the villain character from 101 Dalmatians. Emma Stone has been attached for a while to play Cruella in the film, which will be set in the world of high fashion of the 1970s. Another Emma, Emma Thompson, signed on this week to play the film's antagonist, which also gives us a better idea about the premise (basically, it's a prequel to 101 Dalmatians). Stone's version of Cruella will be "a brilliant clothing designer who nonetheless toils as a lowly department store worker. One day, a posh woman known as the Baroness (Thompson) enters the store, wearing Cruella's special locket that was given to her by her mother," leading Cruella to plot against her. Cruella is scheduled to come out five days after Coming to America 2 and Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, and the same day as The Croods 2.
6. Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones, And Morgan Freeman Team Up on The Comeback Trail

Every few years or so, we get another movie that brings together a few older movie stars. Tommy Lee Jones starred in Space Cowboys (with Clint Eastwood, James Garner, and Donald Sutherland), and then in 2013, Robert De Niro and Morgan Freeman costarred in Last Vegas (for just two examples). The latest such movie is called The Comeback Trail, and the stars this time around will be De Niro and Freeman again, plus Jones. De Niro will play a man in debt to a mob boss (Freeman) who "creates an insurance fraud by casting washed-up, suicidal cowboy/movie star Duke Montana (Jones) in a poorly written Western with the intention of killing him during the first days of filming." Zach Braff (of TV's Scrubs) will also costar in The Comeback Trail as De Niro's business partner.
#7. Chris Rock (!?) delivering Saw Spin-off for 2020
(Photo by Kristin Callahan/Everett Collection, @ Lionsgate)
Way before James Wan directed movies like The Conjuring and Aquaman, he was actually the director of the very first Saw movie in 2004 (and he produced several of the sequels). The torture-trap horror franchise is on its way back to theaters for next year (October 23, 2020), but it's coming to us via a celebrity producer in the form of Saturday Night Live alum Chris Rock. Rock is reportedly a longtime fan of the Saw movies and came to the untitled Saw spin-off with his own pitch for how to start a new story that is not a reboot, but one that will "work within the existing Saw mythology." The new Saw movie will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, the director of Saw II (37%), Saw III (28%), Saw IV (18%), and 11-11-11 (7%) – but could the involvement of Chris Rock and James Wan turn things around?
Rotten Ideas
2. James Wan Producing Mortal Kombat Reboot
Joel Meares
Last week's Pokémon Detective Pikachu may have broken box office records, and also have the first ever "Fresh" Tomatometer score for a video-game adaptation, but one movie doesn't make for an instant rebound for the entire concept. Regardless, Hollywood is still chugging along with its collective plans for video-game movies, and this week, we learned that Mortal Kombat is one of the already attempted (a few times) video game franchises that's coming back. Producer James Wan is on board this attempt at rebooting Mortal Kombat, which is scheduled to start filming in Australia later this year. It's not yet clear which Mortal Kombat games or characters will be adapted for this new movie. The first Mortal Kombat was "Rotten" with 46%, and its sequel Annihilation was much lower with just 2%. With Wan on board, the reboot could nudge Fresh territory, but we're waiting to see.
1. Can Paramount Take On Marvel With Obscure Atlas Comics Movies?
The biggest challenge for any movie studio that's not Disney or Warner Bros. in challenging their superhero movies is that there is only one Marvel Comics, and only one DC Comics. Sure, there are other comic book companies, but none of them are the "big two." One company that briefly tried to get into their space in the 1970s was Atlas Comics, formed by Martin Goodman, the original founder of the 1930s company that later became Marvel Comics. Atlas Comics launched with dozens of titles and some notable writers and artists, but they mostly were all cancelled within three or four issues. Paramount Pictures has regardless started an agreement to adapt Atlas Comics titles into superhero movies. The possible movies include such titles as The Cougar, Ironjaw, Tigar-Man, Grim Ghost, and The Hands of the Dragon. We're calling this play by Paramount one of the week's Rotten Ideas just because taking on Marvel and DC seems crazy: Atlas Comics was never going to, and still isn't, ever going to compete with titles like The Avengers, Justice League, or X-Men. But then again, remember when folks thought Iron Man was too obscure to launch a franchise…

Prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases in primary school children in Ankara, Turkey: two cross-sectional studies, five years apart
Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 1999 Nov;10(4):261-5. doi: 10.1034/j.1399-3038.1999.00031.x.
A F Kalyoncu 1 , Z T Selçuk, T Enünlü, A U Demir, L Cöplü, A A Sahin, M Artvinli
1 Hacettepe University, School of Medicine, Department of Chest Diseases, Ankara, Turkey.
The prevalence of allergic diseases is reported to have increased worldwide. Two questionnaire surveys, five years apart, were conducted to evaluate the trend of prevalence rates and possible risk factors among primary school children in Ankara, Turkey. A previous survey in 1992 revealed the lifetime prevalences of asthma, wheezing, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis were 17.4%, 23.3%, 28% and 6.1%, and the prevalences for the last 12 months were 8.3%, 11.9%, 15.4% and 4%, respectively. The survey was repeated with the same questionnaire in the same age group (6-13 years) of the same school in May 1997. The parents of 358 boys and 380 girls completed the questionnaire. The lifetime and last 12 months' prevalences of asthma, wheezing, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis were 16.8%, 22.5%, 18.7%, 6.5%, and 9.8%, 13.3%, 14.1%, 4.3%, respectively. There was a significant change only for the lifetime prevalence of rhinitis (p < 0.001). The rate of indoor smoking had declined from 73.9% to 64%, and pet ownership had risen from 7.9% to 22.9% (p < 0.001 for both). Atopic family history was the most prominent risk factor for all types of allergic disorders. Male gender was a significant risk factor for current asthma and wheezing [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80 and 1.59; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.09-2.98 and 1.01-2.48, respectively], and passive smoking affected the occurrence of allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.84; CI = 1.13-3.00). The prevalence rates of allergic diseases among primary school children in Ankara stabilized during a 5-year period for all diseases other than allergic rhinitis. However, there are changing behavior patterns, i.e. indoor smoking and keeping pet animals, which that may have affected these rates.

lovehate: My First and Last Election Rant
While most people in the US are wrapped up in election fever as November approaches, few below the 49th parallel even know that Canada is going to the polls in three weeks. And perhaps the differences between our political systems, while many, would provide some encouragement for me to at least like one electoral process over the other, I somehow manage to hate them both.
Both systems trumpet "democracy" and try to convince voters of an Ancient Greek manisfestation of "by the people, for the people." Both systems sell their processes on the idea that an election is the opportunity for the "little guy" (as spatially misogynist as that term is) to have the same say as anyone else.
The fallacy of such claims rests on one simple fact: both the US and Canada are effectively constitutional oligarchies. Oh sure, we get the end-user choice, but how many coffee filters, strainers and sifting devices did that choice have to get through? Because quite honestly, in Canada, I don't get any say in which person will be my Prime Minister. Our parliamentary party system allows for a small group of people to decide on who, within the party, runs for party leadership. A slightly larger group chooses which of these elite actually get the title, and then, we don't even vote directly for the person who's leading the country - we vote for their party affiliation.
The US is slightly more effective in giving its citizens direct input as to the country's figurehead, but such a race invariably results in a popularity contest that is not reliant on policy and promises or, even worse, hearkens back to party lines etched in stone and swathed in fields of red and blue. So yes, US citizens do vote directly for a president, but what say did they have in the choices?
On both sides of the border, since the 1960's anyway, "new" media has been the cause of great consternation for political parties and the electoral process. The "new" media of television reared it omnipresent head in the infamous Kennedy/Nixon debate of 1960. Since then broader and burgeoning aspects of television (with the current pervasive onslaught of punditry) has morphed into our concept of new media to include blogs, podcasts, youtube and twitter accounts. The clear appeal of a politician's ability to successfully utilize technology is often grasped most readily by younger populations who, thinking they see a like-minded individual, will fill out online petitions and become friends on Facebook. The online component of a campaign can often be very lopsided for one candidate over another and, while it may be a noticable piece, it is often a largely irrelevant one as the demographic that constitutes online supporters are the LAST people to get out to vote.
I get that an electoral system will never be perfect, but when leaders can claim mandates from less than half of the eligible voters participating in the process I start to lose faith. If a candidate "stumps" on anti-poverty, and the impoverished are the least likely to register to vote, where is the accountability? If a platform policy speaks of immigrant rights and improving the situations of newcomers to the country, how likely are they to register to vote, even if they are eligible at all?
And, with all this said, my vote is crucial. I still don't buy the myth that people who don't vote don't retain the right to complain - that's complete bullshit. If I'm paying taxes (for the many social programs that I am thankful for) I have made my investment into my community and my country. I went through a common stretch of disillusion where voting was an afterthought for me and I was dismayed by the system enough to avoid even participating at the ballot. And while, I hate to adopt a cliche, one must pick their battles. I will never change the electoral system. The political will to do so has, quite simply, too many political angles for a sitting politician to tackle - after all, the old system has served most incumbents just fine thank you.
Instead, I participate though a vote and voice, and neither can be suppressed, and neither can be comprimised. If you've never found cause to drag your ass off your couch to get to a polling station and cast a ballot, I'm going to be the last one to criticize because I've been there and my couch has the indentation to prove it. My last word on the elections (in Canada and the US) is that I hate the electoral process, the political system, the lobbyists, pundits and backroom deals, but, when the writ is dropped, I will vote and vent and love and hate with the best of them.

I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them.
My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks.
I really wanted to be nasty and mean and bad. It's so much easier than being the good girl.
Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.
A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.
I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.
Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.

The Craft was what it was. People who respond to that movie respond to it really strongly.
I'm attracted to roles where I don't have to wear makeup.
I've been doing this long enough that you can tell when people have seen you in something they didn't enjoy, and when they have seen you in something they actually enjoyed.
People work really hard to get to a certain point. But they have to work just as hard to stay there.
I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.
I did a film about the Zodiac Killer. It turned out well.
I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.
My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.
Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.
In a theater, the part is mine and I can control it as I want to. In the movies, I don't have direct contact, and I am fighting technical machinery.
I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.
I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it's about the same proportion to books published that I care to read.
Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
There are many kinds of movies in Hong Kong. Some are commercial and others are more artistic.
Making movies is eating candy. It's a very expensive candy, so you value when you can do it. So when you can do it twice at once, it's like, you know, a kid in a candy store!
It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.
In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.
There were not fifteen people in the story department and twenty-five producers and stuff. And Roger had produced 1,000 movies and directed a couple of hundred, and their comments were always very, very specific.

Well, it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000, when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.
I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.
Racing Stripes was so much fun to do. It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a couple years.
I think the audience would like to see movies that are stunning to watch. I really think they'd like to see spectacles.
I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed.
After the war, there was no industry. We lost the war. We had our whole city destroyed. No money. No studio. No film. No camera. No equipment. We would shoot in the street. We had no actors. Nothing. But we wanted to do movies. And we did the best movies in the world.
Star Wars, the original movie, was all the various old genre of pictures: the swashbucklers, the war movies, all those things were put n there in a different look.
That is why it's so fun to make movies... you get to do lots of things you would never do in your normal life.
I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.
But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.

Climate protestors leave pile of manure in front of Doug Ford's constituency office
Extinction Rebellion Hamilton / Twitter
Climate protestors don't often mince words when it comes to Ontario's environmental policies, but now one group has decided to drop a serious load of minced something else on the premier's doorstep.
Extinction Rebellion, a group best known for blocking roadways across Canada as part of a nationwide protest against the government's inaction on reducing carbon emissions, has left an actual load of crap outside of Premier Doug Ford's Etobicoke North constituency office.
pic.twitter.com/AC9H7T06C7
— Extinction Rebellion Hamilton (@XRHamont) December 22, 2019
A picture posted to Extinction Rebellion Hamilton's Twitter account shows two smiling men standing next to a large pile of what the group says is organic cow manure they shovelled off a truck.
"We are here to deliver a message that the Ford Conservative government climate change plan is complete bullshit and total crap," said XR member Cameron Topp, in a release. "The Ford Conservatives base their climate change strategy on lies and crackpot theories rather than scientific fact."
Their grievances with the Ford government, according to the release, include the appointment of Joe Oliver as president of the province's Independent Electricity System Operator, Energy Minister Doug Rickford's use of a "climate-science denying website in the Ontario Legislature to support the government's cancellation of 750 renewable energy projects," and the recent cancellation of Hamilton's Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system.
By their own telling, Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience to achieve progress on issues related to the environment.
Daily Hive reached out to Toronto Police Service to determine if it's against the law to shovel poo onto a storefront. They did not respond by the time of publication.

Q: TreeView Not Storing Expected State I am encountering the following behavior which I do not understand. I have data that is correctly displayed in the TreeView as follows.

Sport
  > BaseBall
    > Apparel
    > Equiptment
        Glove
        Bat
  > Football
    > Helmet
  > Soccer

However, when I click on any node, the underlying node data is that of it's first child.

    Node Clicked            Actual Data
-------------------------------------------
    Sport                       Baseball
    Baseball                    Apparel
    Football                    Helmet
    Bat                         null

I have looked at many examples on the web and in books, but I cannot spot the issue; and I'm sure it's very simple.
Edit I have visually inspected each node in the debugger, as well as using a handy little code snippet from Mathew MacDonald's Pro WPF in C# 2010 that actually displays the types and value of every control in the TreeView.
Edit I have replaced initial code with an actual full application that reproduces the issue. It is the simplest example I could come up with.
The code(irrelevant sections removed):
<Application x:Class="WpfApplication1.App"

            {

                OrgChartNodeViewModel vm = ((OrgChartNodeViewModel)((TreeViewItem)it).Items.CurrentItem);
                if (vm != null)
                    Debug.WriteLine(vm.Position.Title);
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(it);
            }
        }
    }
}

public class MainWindowViewModel
{

    public MainWindowViewModel()
    {
        Position ceo = new Position { Title = "CEO" };
        Position vp = new Position { Title = "VP" };
        Position boss = new Position { Title = "Boss" };
        Position worker = new Position { Title = "Worker" };

        OrgChartNodeViewModel root;
        OrgChartNodeViewModel node = new OrgChartNodeViewModel { Position = ceo };
        OrgChartNodeViewModel child = new OrgChartNodeViewModel { Position = vp };
        root = node;
        node.Subordinates.Add(child);
        node = child;
        child = new OrgChartNodeViewModel { Position = boss };
        node.Subordinates.Add(child);
        node = child;
        child = new OrgChartNodeViewModel { Position = worker };
        node.Subordinates.Add(child);

        OrgChart = new List<OrgChartNodeViewModel> { root };
    }
}

-
public class OrgChartNodeViewModel
{
    public Position Position { get; set; }
    public List<OrgChartNodeViewModel> Subordinates { get; set; }

    public OrgChartNodeViewModel()
    {
        Subordinates = new List<OrgChartNodeViewModel>();
    }
}

-
public class Position
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
}

Here is the output on my machine...

A: Try switching
OrgChartNodeViewModel vm = ((OrgChartNodeViewModel)((TreeViewItem)it).Items.CurrentItem);

to
OrgChartNodeViewModel vm = ((OrgChartNodeViewModel)viewItem.DataContext);

In your while loop, you want the TreeViewItem.DataContext rather than Items.CurrentItem which points to it's children(and only one exists until expanded firstly). Hence why you're seeing VP instead of CEO.
I'd prolly switch out the entire function to something like:
private void theTree_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
  var clickedItem = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
  if (clickedItem == null)
    return;
  var chartNode = clickedItem.DataContext as OrgChartNodeViewModel;
  if (chartNode != null)
    Debug.WriteLine(chartNode.Position.Title);
}

than iterate through the Visual-Tree to get a TreeViewItem. DataContext gets inherited in your xaml setup, so might as well use it to save doing redundant work.

What Are The Benefits Of Owning A Whole House Backup Generator?
The idea was that digital filmmaking would save someone something. Most people understand that the cost of camera equipment and consumables are a fairly trivial part of many production budgets, but it'd be a bit shocking if we'd gone through that much change without just as much of a payoff. Perhaps part of that is that it's now possible to make productions in a way that's entirely recognisable to film and TV professionals, but also achieves what businesspeople call efficiencies.
Some productions don't necessarily take as much advantage of that as they might. One of the people who does is writer-producer-director-editor Richard Boddington, whose approach embraces the benefits of the new while remaining carefully observant of the second part of the word "showbusiness". His opener will sound like a note of caution to anyone keen to grab a copy of Resolve and a DSLR and make a direct assault on Hollywood.
"It all starts with the producer," Boddington begins. "Without the budget you can't do anything, and that holds back 98% of filmmakers." Progress in engineering has, apparently, made no dent in the sheer administrative effort involved. "I actually carry with me, on my cellphone, a photo of the bank closing documents. I tell would-be filmmakers 'if you want to make movies, this is your future'. and that's not uncommon with any producer."
The world of producing in one eight-inch stack
The advantage of combining so many roles is that "I control 100% of the financing and 100% of the creative on every film. If, say, I want to have two helicopters out instead of one, it doesn't have to be signed off by an exec in LA. You have to make sure there's sufficient funding but... if I wanted to allocate the contingency to something else I can make that call." It involves, he says, "A tremendous amount [of trust.] They're not checking on me on a regular basis. I'm pretty much operating entirely on my own once everything is signed off. The banks are trusting that I will get their money back, and the distributors are trusting that the script they read will be what they get."
That sort of control is not for its own sake. "Since I'm also the editor, I've developed my technique of shooting the edit. I'm literally shooting what's going to be the final edit in my head. I'm covering the edit. It allows for us to increase our shooting efficiency, cram more stuff into a day and not feel like we're rushing. We're getting what I know we're going to use." The production works "the usual 12 hour day, seven to seven. They will start loading the trucks, moving to location, getting set up. I try to have actors arriving at 8.15, very close to when we start rolling, and I try to get the first shot off by 8.30."
On the set of Against the Wild III - The Journey Home. L-R Zackary Arthur, playing Max Davis, Richard Boddington, and Elliott Boddington, his son, and Morgan Dipietrantonio (playing Erin Davis.)
It sounds obvious that a production should shoot only what it needs, but anyone with knowledge of what can happen will know that it isn't universal, or even particularly common. Boddington frowns at "the whole idea of eight point coverage and spending hours doing scenes. Number one, it just exhausts the actors – how could it not – and how much of that ends up on the cutting room floor?"
Most of Boddington's films have so far averaged "twenty days of principal photography, which means that's when I have the lead cast. I've done some that were twenty-five days. I will do a unique sort of process with the second unit. I am the second director – the director of photography, I, and a small splinter unit will spend three to five days doing pickups."
Boddington shoots a lot of movies in natural environments and averages, he says, "thirty-five to fifty setups a day. Day exteriors are definitely a huge plus, but shooting under full sun the crew is continuously putting up a huge silk and moving it around, we can't shoot with our lead actresses under full sun." This part of the production, at least, is conventional: "In the Canadian forest we still have a full generator and cables running throuhg the woods everywhere. For all our coverage we have lights. There is a grip and electric team to handle that."
The glamour of Hollywood
Editing remains the same discipline it ever was, but progress has made the technology trivial. Breaking with precedent, though, Boddington does not use a script supervisor. "I've had them [in the past] and we still had some pretty significant continuity errors. The fact is, they weren't caught... They generate a huge amount of reports and things like that which I never even bother to open and look at. I look at every take anyway. It's my edit system. It's in my house, so I go into every take anyway. It's amazing the hidden gems I find."
"I have an old laptop runing Final Cut 7 that I cut everything on," Boddington says, "and I can't run 4K on it. The DIT outputs daily proxies, something low res that my system can handle without rendering and play back quickly. It's a simple step to export an EDL and send it to the assembly house, and it takes them four or five hours to assemble a 90 minute movie with 1000 cuts in it." Grading and final audio mix must be done out of house, at conventional facilities, to meet distributors' requirements.
Productions are usually finished in three or four months of post production, and Boddington still enjoys the process even given the workload of combining so many roles. "When you're an independent filmmaker, you're juggling some crisis every day… it's an ability match when you can creatively write and direct something and switch over your brain to handle the business side as well." And while the process can be gruelling, Boddington describes finishing his productions in good form. "Surprisingly I feel pretty good. My wife always says 'you thrive on crisis'."

Extreme cold kills woman walking home from next-door neighbour's house in -41C
The woman died in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada after walking home from her next-door neighbour's home when temperatures dropped below –41 C according to weather reports
Brendan Mcfadden
A woman has died in British Columbia, Canada after walking home from her next-door neighbour's home in extreme temperatures.
The woman didn't make it back to her house in Dawson Creek on Sunday after drinking booze and died of exposure to the cold, according to The Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
According to weather records temperatures dropped below –41 C in the early hours of Sunday in the area.
Police received a call about the woman at 10:50 a.m on Monday and found her dead outside her home.
Staff Sgt. Damon Werrell told CBC: "Our investigation determined the female had been visiting a friend the night before and had been consuming alcohol. She departed the residence at around 1 a.m. ... and unfortunately did not make it home."

Werrell added that the two houses were not that far apart.
Dawson Creek is under an extreme cold weather warning, with temperatures expected to dropped to an eye-watering –45 C.
Extreme cold conditions can be a threat to life after only minutes of exposure and those who have to travel in are warned to take precautions when travelling in it.

Advice given to people to survive in the conditions include packing warm clothes, avoiding travelling alone and maintaining contact with a friend or family member.
In December, a teenage boy died of severe frostbite in -50C weather when his sat-nav told him to take a wrong turn on Russia's notorious Road of Bones.
The Google Maps instructions sent Sergey Ustinov and friend Vladislav Istomin, both 18, on a disused shortcut in the world's coldest inhabited region, say reports citing police investigators.

They had not taken precautions for the extreme conditions, and were quickly frostbitten when their radiator was damaged by a wooden spike on the old road.
Ustinov was found frozen solid in his Toyota Chaser, while his friend was miraculously alive but suffering from acute hypothermia
The pair had been driving from the world's coldest city Yakutsk to the port of Magadan, on a highway known as the Road of Bones built in the Josef Stalin era by political prisoners.

Concept and direction: Didier Ruiz. Choreography: Tomeo Vergés.
This is not the first time that stage director Didier Ruiz and choreographer Tomeo Vergés have created a show based on their work with groups of teenagers. They did it in Paris in 2013, in Avignon in 2014, and now come to Barcelona with an event that involves pupils from three of the city's secondary schools. Over the last three months, students have voluntarily attended workshops, learning to move on stage, to project their voices and to master the techniques they need in order to express their thoughts. They will talk to us about the city and their neighbourhood, their relationships with each other, their dreams and their daily lives, becoming at once actors and witnesses of their own transition to adulthood. Do they feel accepted by others? What do they think about love? What do they expect from the future? We will find out in a stage show in which young people speak directly to the audience, but also listen and make themselves heard. The city, the world and life, through teenage eyes.

To determine if the length of stay accounts for this risk, daily infection rates were computed per decade of life and rates for patients over and under 60 were compared using risk ratios. Four thousand thirty-one nosocomial infections in 2,567 patients were identified for a 1980 through 1984 admission cohort in an acute-care hospital. The daily infection rates were 0.59 percent in patients over age 60 and 0.40 percent in younger patients (relative risk = 1.49). The daily incidences of urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and septicemias were all significantly increased in elderly patients with risk ratios of 2.78, 2.07, and 1.36, respectively. Further analysis revealed that elderly patients experienced significantly more nosocomial infections for each day of hospitalization after Day 7. These data show that elderly patients experience an increased daily rate of nosocomial infection, and suggest that efforts be directed at identifying clinical conditions that predispose this population to hospital-acquired infections.
