We did this Posterized episode five years back but who would have thought that Terrence Malick of all people would need regular "updates" in filmography respective. Until this decade, Malick was like a ghost of the cinema, or perhaps more appropriately the Brigadoon of auteurs, emerging from the ether after long intervals only to vanish again just as quickly. But he's been working non-stop this decade so time's have changed.
To date Malick has made nine films with a tenth nearing completion. The posters and a still from his next project after the jump. How many have you seen?
Badlands (1973) | Days of Heaven (1978) | The Thin Red Line (1998)
The New World (2005) | The Tree of Life (2011) | To The Wonder (2013)
Knight of Cups (2015) | Voyage of Time (2016) | Song to Song (2017)
What do you think accounts for this recent burst of activity? And do you wish he'd slow down again since this decades movies have been less awesome then what came before?
In other news, Malick is currently in post-production of his new film tentatively titled Radegund. Since it's Malick we're guessing we'll see it in 2020 instead of 2019? The movie is about a conscientious objector in Austria who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. Since it's a war movie in Austria it's heavy on famous European men. Since it's Malick we don't know if any of them will still be in it when it's finished since the enigmatic auteur sometimes leaves name actors on the cutting room floor! But at least in terms of who was in it at the film of filming you can look forward (maybe) to a bevvy of European thirst-traps (Matthias Schoenaerts, Alexander Fehling, Franz Rogowski), character actor regulars (Michael Nyqvist) rising stars (Joel Basman) and two enduring international treasures (Bruno Ganz, Jürgen Prochnow).
First still from "Radegund"

August Diehl in "Inglourious Basterds"One person we know WILL be in it, because you can't leave your protagonist on the cutting room floor, is August Diehl. The name might not ring a bell but you'll recognize him as soon as you see him because he's had memorable small roles in not one but two Brad Pitt World War II movies Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Allied (2016), as well as the Angelina Jolie picture Salt (2010), and a leading role in the Oscar-winning Austrian film The Counterfeiters (2007).
So... Malick! DISCUSS.
