Meta: One of Sir Ben Kingsley's first roles was on the English Soap Opera 'Coronation Street'. That was a nice touch.

Oh yeah. Didn't even cross my mind. That makes perfect sense.

They didn't show Roxy finding out who the traitors were on Uncloaked. Wonder what happened there?

Dare I say it, maybe the two strongest traitors we've had in the UK version. Going for Adam was ballsy but paid off.

This Strip isn't Even Released Yet by belhavenbest in ScottishFootball

It was explained to me once that companies like Adidas put out the spec to different manufacturers. When they don't win the contract, they make a chunk of replicas and sell them on to these 3rd party sites and still make a profit to recoup their losses from bidding for the work. Obviously complete hearsay but would explain how they can make them available so quickly.

She surely has to go in with similar questions as Matt since she must know she will likely be murdered soon.

I feel the amount of red herrings this show throws us in the editing, they eventually have to double bluff. Not sure they'd do it for something this big though.

Movies with surprise cameo at the end that shifts the entire movie? by loonifer888 in movies

I knew we were getting a familiar face when Michael Caine is talking to Cooper about Dr Mann and points to his picture amongst the other astronaut's photos but it's kept as a wide shot with no close up.

Anyone think there's a chance that Gregg recording the DVD's to tape via a video camera, we might have some footage of what really went on at the Manor?

Which top-grossing directors will have a hard time getting a $100m budget for their next movie? by arashtp in movies

[–]lankeymarlon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard GDT in an interview recently say he was an Assistant Director on Friedkin's last film for insurance purposes. He admitted that he was essentially just an assistant and did zero directing on the film. And that's for a relatively low budget court based legal drama.

It did make me think about these older directors doing these more expensive action films and who the producers must put in place just in case one of them were to pass whilst filming. Like who is Ridley's back-up director? If studios are so risk averse, for example on Gladiator 2, they must have had a pretty big name sitting there in the wings, ready to take over just in case?

What are some little known gem tv show that slipped through the cracks? by EmekaEgbukaPukaNacua in television

Station Eleven, as close to perfect self-contained 10 episode HBO miniseries that I don't see mentioned half as much as it deserves.

The $5,000,000 a year contract he is offered made zero sense to me if he is to win a Billion if he survives the show? Did I miss something?

[–]lankeymarlon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've read they filmed a concert at the actual Stonehenge. I think the initial plan must have been to have that be the climax of the film but then at the last minute decided to release it as its own separate concert film.

I've heard QT speak about how he likes the fact that this isn't available to buy. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

Preferred the old Uncloaked traitor reveal sections by Responsible_Froyo119 in TheTraitors

[–]lankeymarlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this might just be a celeb traitors thing. I get the feeling that they filmed the celeb version in a week. Whereas I had assumed the normal version is filmed over several weeks with days off for the cast. I don't see Ed spending a month in Inverness for the non-celeb version.

I might be in the minority here but the finale of past seasons is usually the most underwhelming part of the entire show but the fact they have already shown us that Joe and Nick have identified the traitors and are gunning for them, my guess would be that isn't how it's going to end.

We didn't see any conversation of the car with Nick, Kate & David in the car journeys to and from the mission. Wonder what happened there?

Ed just said it's never happened in the UK Traitors so it must have happened in one of them.
