8 inspiring films for a new beginning in the new year

Probably the most interesting MCU contribution in 2021 will be “Eternals”. Not only does the superhero film offer an unparalleled star line-up (including Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek), although, apart from geeks and genre connoisseurs, hardly anyone knows the characters appearing in the film, the director behind it also makes people sit up and take notice: Chloé Zhao has only just started staged three films. She is currently causing a sensation at film festivals with the road movie “Nomadland”.

James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy was also a risk. Today the range is considered one of the best within the MCU. You can see them on Disney +: You can subscribe here.

The thoroughbred filmmaker has always written the scripts for her films herself, and for “Nomadland” she adapted Jessica Brother’s book about US migrant workers who roam the country. And as the 38-year-old revealed in an interview with journalist Margaret Gardiner, she also wrote the script for her MCU debut “Eternals” herself. And for a good reason:

“I’m the scriptwriter on Eternals, the credits just haven’t been updated yet. I don’t know what it would be like if I didn’t write the films. It’s the writing process that I put my empathy into, which is a big part of it. I create situations that allow access to a certain cinematic language that I have acquired in my last three films. “

In fact, according to Zhao, she wrote the script for her debut film “Songs My Brothers Taught Me” for purely economic reasons. Her first steps in the film business were very pragmatic because as producer, screenwriter and director she had to get by on a very tight budget and one of her goals was always to “finish the film”. As she wrote, her thoughts always revolved around how to get the maximum visual impressions out of the budget, explained Zhao. The epic images of the American expanse, which she extensively celebrates in her films, were ideal.

“Eternals” is the ideal MCU project for Chloé Zhao

Currently Kaz and Ryan Firpo are still working as screenwriters Imdb listed, they may be co-authors at “Eternals”. The fact that Zhao has at least a large part of the script goes very well with this daring MCU project from Marvel Studios. Because Zhao, who was born and raised in Beijing, left her homeland early to find herself and her calling. A step she has not regretted:

“Some people find their fulfillment at home and in their community, others find it on the way. My personal identity consists in leaving a place and holding onto this place in my memory. “

Just as Zhao found each other far away, the Eternals left their homes centuries ago and found their true destiny as protectors of the earth. Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige and producer Nate Moore also gave her a lot of leeway to design the great potential blockbuster and supported her:

“I think Marvel was amazing, Kevin Feige and Nate Moore and the whole team. They knew from the moment I pitched the film that I wanted the size, the dimension as well as the intimate. They understood that I was aiming for both and they were amazing in the way they took me by the hand, walked me through the process and allowed me to go into as much and as much detail as possible. “

The expected German theatrical release for “Eternals” is 4. November 2021.
