Regissörens hårda ord om Val Kilmer: "Den värsta personen jag någonsin träffat"
Drygt ett år efter Val Kilmers bortgång har en tidigare samarbetspartner riktat skarp kritik mot den avlidne stjärnan. Det handlar om regissören Adam Marcus, mest "känd" för Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, som nyligen beskrev Kilmer som den värsta människan han någonsin mött.
Kilmer och Marcus arbetade tillsammans under produktionen av thrillern Conspiracy från 2008, där de två uppenbarligen inte dragit jämnt, och i ett inlägg på sociala medier beskriver Marcus hur Kilmers problematiska beteende inte skulle ha accepterats i dagens filmbransch.
På sociala medier skrev Adam Marcus bland annat att:
"Worst human being I've ever known... and that is really saying something. And to any of you rolling your eyes because of the whole 'don't speak ill of the dead bullsh--', f--- that. If he did one-tenth of what he did on my set today, he would have been cancelled in a blink"
Det är inte första gången Kilmer har beskrivits som svår att jobba med och flera personer från Hollywood har genom åren gjort liknande uttalanden. Bland annat har Joel Schumacher varit starkt kritisk mot Kilmer och hans beteende under tiden de två arbetade tillsammans med Batman Forever.
Kilmer själv kommenterade sitt rykte i dokumentären Val, där han erkände att han emellanåt betett sig dåligt, men att han inte heller ångrar något.
Thermaltake has built a PSU that splits in two… on purpose
Thermaltake says it's bringing innovation back to power supplies with its latest unit, shown off at its booth right in the centre of Computex's busiest intersection. It was hosting a surprise visit by Jensen Huang at the time of my visit—chaos. Luckily I could hide away from the action down the company's power supply aisle.
The Dockpower series looks to be more or less your standard power supply. Available from 750 to 1200 watts, in black or white, and including a 12V-2x6 connection, it's got most gaming rigs covered. Though remove one screw from the end with all the ports and it reveals its hidden talent: this part comes away from the body entirely.
The idea is that you can fit the PSU inside the case without this part, which Thermaltake calls the dock module. Then you fit whichever cables you need to it and reattach, saving having to fiddle around with each individual connection in what can be a cramped space inside a PC or under a PSU shroud. The dock modules uses, what I'm told is, a server-grade gold-plated connection. It's secured in place with a provided screw (which has a d-ring to make it easier to tighten by hand).
"Last time when the power supply had innovation was 20 years ago," says Thermaltake representative Mingkei at the booth. "When modular units came out."
"There's no innovation at all until now."
Those are fighting words, as I'm sure some of the power supply products from Seasonic (Connect), Corsair (Shift + AX1600i), and Lian Li (Edge) could claim innovative aspects to their designs over the years, to name a few.
In a press conference from its Computex booth, Thermaltake called the PSU the "next generation of PSU architecture." It also noted the upgradeability of the power supply: rather than rewiring your entire PC, you just swap the power unit and reconnect the dock module.
I do wonder about the overall utility of Thermaltake's design. For one, you can fit most of the cables you need onto a modular PSU before you install it with fairly little effort. Similarly, how easy will it be to secure the connection module into place with the screw once the PSU is installed and cables are attached? Lastly, upgrading a PSU is such a rare occurrence, I doubt most mind the odd bit of cable management that comes with it.
Nevertheless, I get what Thermaltake is reaching for here: it's trying to do something different with what is usually, but not always, a fairly boring black box. How well this works will be clearer once it's out into the hands of PC builders. The Dockpower series—FS, FC, and FI—launches this September.
Nicholas Hoult har hovedrollen i David Leitchs neste stilige actionfilm, How to Rob a Bank
Man kan si hva man vil om David Leitch, men regissøren vet hvordan man lager en underholdende actionfilm. Filmografien hans har opp gjennom årene inkludert Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw, Bullet Train og nå sist The Fall Guy, og i september er han klar med noe nytt.
Denne actionfilmen, kjent som How to Rob a Bank, følger en gruppe kriminelle som har blitt berømte for sine hjelpsomme videoer som deles på sosiale medier, og som lærer folk hvordan de skal gjennomføre et vellykket bankran. Det hele blir naturligvis snart for mye, og skurkene blir store mål, noe som fører til at en føderal agent forsøker å jakte på dem sammen med en talentfull hacker som kanskje har ferdighetene som trengs for å finne den unnvikende gjengen.
How to Rob a Bank har Nicholas Hoult i hovedrollen, og inneholder også en rekke andre store navn og ansikter, inkludert Zoe Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rheny Feliz, Christian Slater, Pete Davidson og John C. Reilly.
Filmen har planlagt premiere 4. september, og du kan se det offisielle sammendraget og en trailer for filmen nedenfor.
"En gjeng med bankranere som er flinke til å bruke sosiale medier, kringkaster sine dristige ran, uvitende om at deres voksende virale berømmelse har satt dem i siktet til en veteran FBI-agent og en briljant programvareingeniør. Til tross for at den usannsynlige duoen nærmer seg, overskrider forbryterringen sine egne grenser og setter alt på spill for troen sin - og for sitt mest ambisiøse kupp noensinne."
