Richard Linklater’s - Apollo 10 1/2

[Rip76 4943]

I just got my new subscription of “Texas Highways.”  And there’s a piece in there about Linklater’s new movie (coming out in 2021), called “Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Adventure.” It’s about a boy (largely autobiographical), growing up in the Houston suburbs, in the late ‘60’s.  
The entire movie is shot on green screen.

Interesting, I had no idea.  I’ve always enjoyed Linklater’s mind.

Anyway, if anyone knows more I’d like to hear about it.

All green screen, eh?

Please step away from Robert Rodriguez.

Yeah.  I would really rather it be shot normally.  Just regarding the content.

All green screen worries me, but it is Richard Linklater and I think he's earned our trust.

Its currently in the process of being rotoscoped... so green screen doesnt really matter

 

Will hit theatres late next year iirc

Sounds like it's more of an animated film like Walking Life:

Saw this on Netflix. Didn’t know about it until I saw it was on a top ten list of best movies in 2022. 
 

Brings back memories of growing up in 60s and early 70s no matter the location.

Astroworld memories were on point.

Realistic representations of Houston had quite a year with this and Mo.

Thank goodness they didn’t get cute with Mo and try to film it in LA with stock exterior shoots in Houston. It’s a decent show. The subject matter isn’t my favorite, but it feels authentic because they film in Houston. 
 

Linklater’s attention to detail in Apollo 10 1/2 is incredible. I remember getting that Galveston tar shit all over my feet and my dad having to rinse it off with paint thinner. 

[YChang 3455]

I hope there’s a season 2 of Mo

Ohhh man… Nonetheless I hope this launches him into more non-standup roles.
