Why the title change from Ex Machina to The Great Machine? Well, we can’t have anyone confusing the political adventures of Mayor Hundred with Alex Garland’s brilliant 2015 sci-fi movie of the same name, right? And funny enough, Isaac starred in Garland’s Ex Machina, which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with the story of Mitchell Hundred. Legendary has a development deal with co-creator Vaughan, though, and hopefully he’ll have some oversight as one of his coolest creations is brought to the screen. Isaac will also serve as producer alongside Jason Spire. Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel (who wrote the Kristen Stewart starring Jean Seberg biopic Seberg) will write the screenplay and there’s no director yet attached. Oscar Isaac ( Star Wars: The Rise of…oh, you know who he is) will play Mitchell Hundred (via THR), which is some extraordinarily perfect casting. That should change, because Legendary Entertainment is turning Ex Machina into a movie, under the title The Great Machine.Īnd for a project that was only announced last week, The Great Machine has already attracted significant star power. The book spent considerably less time on superheroics than it did on Hundred’s time as mayor in an alternate recent history, and it’s not talked about nearly enough in the pantheon of great comics work of the 21st century so far. Vaughan and Tony Harris’ Ex Machina, published by DC Comics between 20. And that hero? The Great Machine, who was none other than Mayor Mitchell Hundred before hanging up his jetpack and getting into politics. It’s a New York City where one of the Twin Towers still stands, in a world where there has ever only been one superhero. The fact that he only does so in ways that are tragic and not-at-all sexy just goes to show that the man is an artist through and through.Mitchell Hundred is the mayor of New York City in the early 21st Century. The Guatemalan-American star of Star Wars and Ex Machina plays a former. The actor inspires a lot of thirst from fans, many of whom would love to see him stripping in a movie. Oscar Isaac says he’s pleased to be making more use of his Spanish in his newest film, Triple Frontier. In both cases, Isaac's on-screen nudity is tinged with irony.
While this came mere seconds after an intense sex scene, the nudity itself was not included for salacious purposes, but rather to illustrate the mundanity and vulnerability that can follow such encounters.
A recent episode of the HBO drama miniseries Scenes From a Marriage featured a moment of post-coital, full-frontal nudity from his character Jonathan. It is the second time this month that Isaac has bared all for his art. He also spoke about the journey that this part of the movie took his character on, saying: "That was actually really exciting because in the book I've always loved this idea because you've also seen him so buttoned-up, and in control, and suddenly he's just this vulnerable Christ-like figure that's about to be sacrificed, I thought it was shot so beautifully." "I just bear it all," he said, adding: "I had a cock sock, so I was protected and everyone else was as well." In a recent interview with, Oscar Isaac spoke about the practicalities of filming his nude scene, joking that he had "an army of fluffers" on hand. Having been paralysed by an injection from Yueh, Leto is laid out in nude repose on a chair at the end of the dining table, unable to move, only able to express emotions through his eyes. Oh, and yeah, Leto is stark naked for this entire exchange. Oscar Isaac, left, and Jessica Chastain pose for photographers at the photo call for the film Scenes of a Marriage during the 78th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, Saturday. The Baron, however, is unaware of this impending reveal, and so when Leto is brought before him, he goes into arch-villain mode and taunts the man in his own house. Yueh (Chang Chen), but that the rependant medic gave him an ace in the hole: a false tooth which, when crushed, releases a poisonous gas into the air. We, the audience, know that Leto was betrayed and handed over to the nefarious Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) by Dr. One pivotal scene involves the captivity of Duke Leto Atreides, played by Oscar Isaac. The long-awaited adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic Dune is finally in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, giving audiences the auteur director's interpretation of characters and events from the seminal 1965 novel.
Spoilers follow for Denis Villeneuve's Dune.
