 ARMAGEDDON TIME TRAILER 
WITH ANTHONY HOPKINS
The film opens wide in USA this November
And he is just one of the famous names in the cast that also includes Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong. Screened first this year over at Cannes, it is a deeply personal coming-of-age story about the strength of family, complexity of friendship and the generational pursuit of the American Dream. The film is out November 11th. The film, directed by James Gray, is a semi-biographical story inspired by Gray’s upbringing in Queens, New York during the 1980s! Hathaway and Strong play Irving and Esther Graff — versions of Gray’s parents — with Hopkins as a version of his grandfather, named Aaron Graff. The film will also compete at New York Film Festival after it visited Telluride as well.

  1. I grew up in Queens in the 80s. Maybe they should film my story. I've seen two versions of All Quiet..both very good, excellent pacifist manifesto, but it leaves me cold. It's not my favorite Remarque novel, and yet it was his best

    1. You did? When did you move to USA? I thought you grew up in Chile and moved to USA later on.

    2. I came to Queens in 1974 (I was fourteen) and lived here until 1996. I returned to the States in 2016. So I spent my adolescence here and went to high school here. I count that as growing up.

    3. Oy, must have been fun going to a US high school than to some in Chile.

    4. I wouldn’t know. My father and my cousins had great experiences in Chilean high schools. I hated elementary school, but it was due to systematic bullying. High school in America was also not very representative. I attended two schools quite different from each other. My freshman and sophomore years were spent at the United Nations School, a sort of Gossip Girl elite joint, and on my last two years I attended a Jewish School. In the latter, I learned a lot and met true friends and true love. High school in Chile today is a nest of political activism. Students spend more time on the streets protesting than studying. Yesterday the Instituto Nacional’ students had taken over the metro stations of Greater Santiago.

    5. Wish our students would riot and protest too. Back in my days students were the starting point of all political upheaval and change, we threw down Milosevic that way too (I went to high school during his rule, then to college during NATO bombings and to elementary school during Yu wars). Today's students are superficial and powerless, probably because we have been brainwashed by the government and our tyrant for a decade now. I spent part of my first year at college in Otpor, our guerilla student resistance which pretty much brought fight against Milosevic to the streets where we rioted for a long time and forced him to accept his loss of elections. We would march the streets every night, no such spirit in today's little brats.

    6. Student manifestations (mind you these are underage highschoolers) are ok as long as they are conducted in a coherent fashion, and the demands are coherent. Since 2019, students have been demanding a change of government, in the interim they have looted stores, set places in fire, destroyed public property, toppled statues, and wrecked their schools. Finally, this year they got a president that they liked; a thirtysomething college dropout/Daddy’s boy, former student leader who until elected to congress had never held a job in his lifetime. And now, the kids riot against him and what are their demands this time? That the schools they destroyed be rebuilt by the government.

  4. I'm surprised Anthony Hopkins is still acting. Isn't he like 200 years old? Though I have always loved his work, I'll definitely make sure I make time for Armageddon Time.

    1. I think he plays a good guy for the first time in this one. I much prefer Ian and Derek to Hopkins.

  5. I'm all in on the first one, but will be skipping the second. Even if my girl Anne Hathaway is in it!
