IMDb listed four future movies for Matthew Goode in starring or co-starring roles. I'm anxiously awaiting their airing on the big screen. Or on Netflix (DVD.)
Hopefully they will actually make these movies not just plan to make them.
The reason I'm questioning it is because some of the future movies that IMDb listed for Gerard Butler never materialized. Though it's hardly IMDb's fault. I waited for those movies since I was totally in love with Gerry before I abandoned him for Matthew Goode.
Movie stars really do need to make movies now and then or people will forget them.
By the way, there really is a difference between actors and movie stars.
I just love that funny story George Hamilton told about himself. He was walking some place--maybe the beach?--and a little girl said, "Hey. You're that actor." George laughed and said, "I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!"
Matthew is has evolved into an amazing actor. He doesn't merely play a role, he becomes a character. Watch The Lookout or Watchmen. As I've said before about Leap Year, I still can't believe Declan is really Matthew Goode. He's that good.
I sure wish they'd hurry up and release Burning Man. I've heard from other fans through this blog that it was filmed in Australia. I assume it's a British movie. It's not about THE burning man (like the big straw thing they lit on fire in ancient times -- the wicker man and/or Zozobra) but about a guy that owns a diner. I hope he doesn't really burn the hamburgers despite them name (where did they get that name anyway?) This guy has a daughter which is good since Matthew now has a real daughter and knows how a father ought to behave (One would hope.) (Wait, I just found out it's a son in the movie. Same difference. I also think he plays a broken-hearted man which is usually the usual for Goode movies.
Matthew played a pub & restaurant owner. He was a minor cheft chef in Leap Year. Maybe that's why they hired him for Burning Man. He looks good with a knife. He also had a knife in The Lookout, I believe. For different reasons.
Burning Man may just jump to DVD in the United States and never open in theaters here--the way some of Gerry Butler's movies did. (Dear Frankie, Shattered/Butterfly on a Wheel.)
DVD's are okay with me. I can watch a DVD over and over as many times as I want. I must have seen Leap Year 100 or 150 times.
I often exaggerate to make a point, a funny point.
I think actors like Matthew and movie stars like Gerry ought to stick to the British movie industry. American movies, especially romantic comedies, are so immature and well... I hate to say it, bad. (Though Lear Year was NOT bad. It was a movie you either loved or hated. Not many people ever said "Oh, it was ok.")
A stupid romantic comedy can ruin someones career. Look what happened to Gerry. That was quite a step down from 300 to dumb comedies. I won't mention those, you know which ones.
I'm glad Chasing Liberty didn't nip Matthew's career in the bud. It was a practice movie. A long screen test. Those don't count as real movies. I can forgive him for that one since he made up for it in Imagine Me and You where he played a real person. Well done.
Here's the movies IMDb lists on their Matthew Goode page:
2011 Burning Man (post-production)
2012 Overdrive (pre-production)
2012 Stoker (pre-production)
2013 Crooked House (pre-production)
Yipee and hurry, hurry.
