Is Disney about to have its own “Before” series? Just as Richard Linklater’s day-in-the-life romances touch in on the lives of Celine and Jesse at different points in their lives, Amy Poehler would like to see the “Inside Out” sequels explore main character Riley’s emotions at different stages in her aging.
“I just think that they should make these films like ‘Seven Up,’ every couple of years in Riley’s life,” she said in an interview with Empire. “A young adult, and a young mother, and I think a middle-aged person — everyone’s having these very distinct new emotions that are showing up all the time.”
Speaking to IndieWire last month for a sneak peek of “Inside Out 2,” the film’s director Kelsey Mann echoed that idea of “new emotions showing up” being central to how he looked at this new chapter.
“I hated everyone looking at me,...

Of any Pixar film to sequelise, a follow-up to Inside Out makes perhaps the most inherent sense. In fact, the ending of the first film actively invites it. While a new status quo is established in Riley’s mind – with Joy and Sadness reconciled – there’s a big ‘Puberty’ button just waiting to be pressed, and a tantalising question from Amy Poehler’s Joy: “After all, Riley’s 12 now. What could happen?” The answer is, a lot. Hence, Inside Out 2 will see the influx of several new emotions in Riley’s headquarters, set to rock her world all over again – a reflection of the total upheaval that comes with adolescence.
As Poehler tells Empire, that process of emotional evolution never really ends – and her hope is that there’ll be many more Inside Out movies to come, reflecting that journey. “I just think that they should make these films like Seven Up,...

As a season of the Czech director’s remarkable Seven Up-style documentaries comes to a streaming channel, she talks about filming under communism, funding projects that take decades to complete and forging relationships with unruly protagonists
Over the course of a 40-year career making documentaries that shook the Czech Republic – but have gone largely unnoticed outside her native country – film-maker Helena Třeštíková has set one international record that is hard to dispute: she is likely to be the only director in world cinema who was robbed by her own protagonist.
In 1992, while working on one of her trademark long-term “time-lapse documentaries” about juvenile delinquent René Plášil, she had to travel to Germany for work and packed off her husband and their two children to the countryside for the weekend. René somehow got wind of the apartment being empty, broke down the triple-locked door and made off with all the electrical hardware,...

Nicholas Hitchon, whose life was chronicled in the celebrated British Up documentary films from a precocious age 7 in 1964 to 63 in the 2019 installment, died of throat cancer July 23 in Madison, Wisconsin, where he was a university professor. He was 65.
His death was only recently announced on the University of Wisconsin’s website. Hitchon had revealed his cancer battle in the most recent film in the series, 63 Up.
According to the university post, William Nicholas “Nick” Hitchon was a member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, having joined the faculty in 1982. He had earned his PhD in engineering science the previous year from Oxford University.
But for generations of viewers and fans of the beloved Up series, Hitchon might forever be remembered as the little boy from a farming family in Littondale, England, who, when asked on camera in Seven Up! if he had a girlfriend,...

In his early 20s Michael Apted began assisting on a film called Seven Up!, little realizing it would turn into the most ambitious documentary project ever undertaken. It focused on a group of seven-year-old British schoolchildren from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and became such a sensation on British television that producers decided to return every seven years to see how their subjects were faring.
Apted served as a researcher on that first film in 1964 and has directed every installment since. Now with the new film 63 Up, which finds the original kids approaching retirement age and coping, in some cases, with mortality, the monumental series may come to a close.
“No one can outdo me,” Apted, 78, says with a wink, a humorous nod to the improbability of anyone else attempting a project of such scope. He ascribes the endurance of the series to the period in which it was conceived—a...

This obscure 1972 thriller features excellent performances by Glenda Jackson and Oliver Reed, and marks the feature debut of the great director Michael Apted. The wartime home front drama takes a surprisingly precocious and sensitive view of a bizarre incident that probably happened in real life: to escape his military service, a reluctant soldier cross-dresses as a woman.

In 1964, director Michael Apted had a job as a researcher on Seven Up!, Paul Almond's groundbreaking television documentary in which 7-year-old British children, from all social and economic backgrounds, are interviewed about their lives. Apted had no idea at the time, but he would spend the next 55 years of his life with those children, and that documentary project.
Seven years after the original film, Apted caught up with the original participants for 7 Plus Seven, which he directed. Since then, the British filmmaker has dropped in every seven years. He's watched his subjects grow up and grow ...

LONDON -- Following a brief hiatus at the BBC, director Michael Apted's "Up" documentary series charting the lives of ordinary people every seven years is set to return to ITV, ITV network center director Nigel Pickard said Wednesday. First shown in 1963, Seven Up was made by ITV powerhouse Granada and has become a lifelong work for Apted (The World Is Not Enough, Gorillas in the Mist). Its most recent outing -- 42 Up -- was shown by the BBC but is returning to an ITV that has said it is keen to demonstrate its commitment to documentaries, news and current affairs. "It's great timing because it will form part of our 50th anniversary in 2005," Pickard said. "To have quality documentary strands in the schedule is important."...
