The Cary Joji Fukunaga Thread

That acne scarred face drives me wild!!

god i want to be inside him. deeply.

r1 oh miss priss. you are gonna die a virgin!

Rude, r1. Perhaps not the best picture he's ever taken, but there's no denying that he's a very good looking man.

R3: that's rich coming from someone lusting after some random on the Internet.

Sweets, I've forgotten more partners than you've had even in your tumblr fantasies...

... and another. Yes of course, r5, you sound like you must be quite the catch.

Now [italic]anyways [/italic], the only work of his I've seen outside of TD as of yet is Jane Eyre. There were aspects of the story itself I didn't really care for, but everything else was on point. Solid acting, good cinematography, etc. I feel like I've seen some mixed reviews for BoNN around, but I'd like to make some time for it soon.

He has a gorgeous nose.

r5 written like a virgin braggart if I am not mistaken.. and i seldom am!

And some more. So handsome.

The ladies @ LSA have a thread for him that I've been following for a while. They post some good interviews with him, like the one I linked in the OP. As far as gossip goes, I don't think there was anything particularly juicy being spilled. Pretty private guy. Straight, I'm assuming.

I don't know about rude, R1 is just a dumbass. Those aren't acne scars, it's called stubble. Fukunaga's skin is gorgeous.

Beasts Of No Nation was riveting. Really fantastic performance from Idris Elba, but the kids broke your heart. I thought it was well done and really fascinating. Fukunaga is definitely talented. His direction is so assured from very early on, with Sin Nombre, and Jane Eyre was beautiful. The fact that he's gorgeous and intelligent is just the icing on the cake.

I believe Pizzolatto targets Fukunaga in TD's second season when Annie and Ray visit the filmset and the director is painted as something of a pussyhound.

Glad to hear that about BoNN, r10. Yes, there's been a lot of speculation that Pizzolatto was making some thinly veiled jabs at him this past season. So petty. Cary brushes it off pretty well.

god i want to spread those legs and eat his ass like rosie o donnel eats at a buffet

R12 hear, hear!

😍

From his Man of the World shoot. I'm actually not all that fond of the editing here. The oversharpening is a little harsh.

Idris is among the SAG nominees for his role in BoNN!

id rather have my dick be a beast inside his nation!

In the tub.

Beasts of No Nation is getting a little more love this award season. Four noms from the NAACP Image Awards: Outstanding Motion Picture, Outstanding Independent Motion Picture, and both Outstanding Actor/Supporting Actor for young Abraham Attah and Idris.

Only one GG nom for Idris's performance.

15, he looks like he smells in that picture. 18, glad he's taking a bath.

Shut up, R20.

He's so dreamy

sigh

Beautiful man.

He's good-looking. The eyes are a little close together but glasses help disguise that. He has a girlfriend, she's Latina and not in the industry. He is from lower class Oakland but now plays polo at some fancy country club outside of Manhattan.

R23, I don't think any mating produces a higher percentage of truly stunning faces than the Asian (but especially Japanese)/Scandinavian blend. They always seem to get the best of both worlds.

[quote]Because all the other threads for this gorgeous, talented man appear to be old and closed.

Why is he closed?

i want to fuckanaga fukunaga

Hold the phones, DL! It looks like we can add [italic]actor[/italic] to his resume. Cary is making his onscreen debut in So Yong Kim's film Lovesong, which is currently in competition at Sundance. He's playing the husband of one of the main characters. Just a bit role by the sound of it, but it's cool to see him involved in these lgbt themed projects.

Huh, r26? The few threads about him are locked due to inactivity. Outside of True Detective he's not a very popular topic of discussion here. One of his upcoming projects will probably make him a little more relevant to DL, though I remember the news of him teaming up with the Brokeback Mountain screenwriters wasn't all that well received.

He def has a face for in front of the camera, not just behind.

The best part of the Lovesong review: It may sound cheesy, but as a snapshot of a dawning attraction it's more vivid and convincing than anything in Carol, a movie Lovesong calls to mind in theme if not in style, tone or setting.

Cary looking hot AF for Vogue Italia 😍😍😍

More.

Who is going to translate the article for us?

There's still nothing up on the English version of the site, unfortunately, and what google translate gave me was pretty rough. Not really anything new to talk about tbh. The article was mostly about BoNN with the same old mentions of TD. There was some info about a new TV project he's involved in, though:

[quote]Although another series in the pipeline have it. "A project for TNT, is titled Alienist ". Inspired all'omoni- mo novel by Caleb Carr, investigates on the first serial killer in New York at the end of 1800.

Cary @ the American Society of Cinematographers Awards Nominee Dinner.

Clear skin:

Braids:

Man bun:

The corporate look:

Loving the curls here.

Do we suspect he is gay?

Cary at the ASC Awards.

His category was LOL. There were three guys nominated for the Spotlight award... and the other two guys tied for it. *cringe*

Cary @ the Independent Spirit Awards. Both Idris and Abraham won for their performances..

Well, the academy could not bring themselves to vote for Sly. Dark horse Mark Rylance wins! Score one for the real actors.

Sorry girls, the cock is acorn-sized.

He won the genetic lottery.

Sin Nombre has some incredibly nasty-hot gangbangers.

He took his adorable, very short, Japanese American dad as his date to Emmys.

more Cary.

Vanity Fair, March 2016

Finally some news on The Alienist: Garret Hedlund may be snagging up the lead role!

Jane Eyre, which Cary directed, is one of my favorite movies of the last decade.

More info on the source material:

[quote][italic]The year is 1896, the place, New York City. On a cold March night New York Times reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and former Harvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or “alienist.” On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan’s infamous brothels.

[quote]The newly appointed police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the two men in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler’s intellect and Moore’s knowledge of New York’s vast criminal underworld. They are joined by Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in the police department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emerging discipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best), the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology– amassing a psychological profile of the man they’re looking for based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before, and will kill again before the hunt is over.[/italic]

And it looks like his name might be attached to another TV series -- this one a dark comedy with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. Already a thread about this one, but w/e.

Cary serving us Blue Steel!

His WWII project now has writers.

Also. Cary at the Met.

His movies are sooo boring.

I am laughing at that being the only pic that they took of him at the Met Gala. His star has dropped considerably in the last year.

Another HBO gig for Cary in the works?

[quote]HBO is preparing a miniseries based on Stanley Kubrick's research for a film dubbed his "greatest never-made film" — a planned story on French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's 19th century struggle to bring Europe under his total control. True Detective Emmy winner Cary Fukunaga is in talks to direct the mini, which is in development at the premium cable network.

In other news, it looks like True Detective is dead in the water. Lol.

From OP's Interview article

[quote] Throw a dart at any point along the eight-hour running time of True Detective Season 1 and you are bound to hit someone’s favorite frame, favorite shot, favorite moment. ... So rich was the lemony and lavender Louisiana bog Fukunaga constructed, and so arresting his cinematography of it, that every one of those eight episodes still rewards repeat viewings, reinterpretation. Really, so good was that show that it may have changed the way television and films are made and watched from here on out.

I watched Season 1 only after seeing the more or less terrible Season 2 and quite frankly I wasn't that impressed. It wasn't anything totally new but rather a well-made cop show with movie stars giving great performances. They did nail the mood but still, nothing we haven't really seen before. That said I wasn't there when it first aired and obviously missed the zeitgeist of the moment

I tried to get into Season 3 but one episode of acteurs SERIOUSLY ACTING WE'RE REALLY SERIOUSLY ACTING HERE was more than enough. Anyone who hasn't seen the show at all should just do themselves a favor and treat Season 1 as a limited series and forget other seasons even exist. I did like Taylor Kitsch on season two, though.

Oh shit, I didn't notice how old this thread was. I just followed a link and didn't realize the latest post was from 2016.

Just anyone saying season 1 of True Detective is just OK is silly. It earned its credibility by the extended scene they did with the raid half way through the season. Brilliant direction
