I had to rewatch Demolition Man after the release of an Out of Frame short that explored all the ways Demolition Man predicted the future. When all the hostages are found dead following an explosion, Spartan, along with the criminal he was trying to stop, Simon Phoenix (Snipes), is sentenced to be cryogenically frozen.īoth Spartan and Phoenix are unthawed in 2032-36 years after being frozen-in a world that looks much different. Stallone plays John Spartan, a Dirty Harry-style police officer whose life takes a sudden turn when his attempt to rescue a bunch of hostages goes awry.
The movie has a delicious if ludicrous plot. Featuring a star-studded lineup that included Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock-not to mention up-and-comers like Denis Leary and Benjamin Bratt, as well as stage actor Nigel Hawthorne and the guy who played the warden in Shawshank Redemption (Bob Gunton)-the movie was a hit, raking in $159 million worldwide.
Made by filmmaker Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut, Demolition Man is one of those movies that manages to be simultaneously campy and ingenious. His Maandi House Studios is described as a Next-Gen digital media content manufacturer with deals at WME Studios and NBC/Universal.I haven’t thought about the movie Demolition Man in a long time, but this changed recently when it was brought to my attention that the film is now nearly 30 years old. Snipes next appears opposite Eddie Murphy in Netflix’s Dolemite Is My Name and is one of the stars of RZA’s Cut Throat City, whose ensemble cast also includes Ethan Hawke, Terrence Howard and Eiza Gonzalez. Stated Cherubini: “As we look to develop the next generation of media content, we know that it doesn’t just need to be diverse and exciting, but its production must support and protect the communities where it’s created.” Snipes and the producers want to debunk the idea that it costs more to make a sustainable movie than a “normal” production. “This is a vehicle to demonstrate the next generation of indie filmmaking in a 5G powered world,” said Snipes in a statement. “It is our goal to show how a 100 percent Certified Renewable Energy film production can show love for the environment, community and still produce a kick-ass popcorn movie.” The project aims to use sustainable methods that will make the planned production an environmentally friendly affair. It will be his first turn as a villain since Demolition Man, the 1993 sci-fi action movie that also starred Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock. Snipes will play the leader of a group of ex-soldiers robbing the casino. Oscars: Wesley Snipes, John Travolta Added to Presenters Lineup
