The Biggest Challenge For The Future Of Star Wars According To Lucasfilm S Executive Vice President

The Biggest Challenge For The Future Of Star Wars, According To Lucasfilm’s Executive Vice President Lucasfilm By Witney Seibold/July 25, 2022 5:56 pm EST “Star Wars,” as an ever-humming business franchise, has always found itself in an odd position, creatively. The 1977 film, inspired by director George Lucas’ fondness for the low-budget cinema serials of his youth, took place in a universe that hinted at gigantic possibilities. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) took a trip to the local bar to find a rogue’s gallery of unusual aliens and creatures, all engaged in bizarre, ineffable acts of varying vices....

Val Kilmer S Opinion On Batman Forever Has Warmed Just A Little Over The Years

Trapped in the suit Warner Bros. Following Michael Keaton’s run in two films as the Dark Knight, Kilmer figured the part would be a fun dream role. The moment he actually got into the suit, however, he realized just how bad the experience was going to be. According to his memoir, “Val Kilmer: I’m Your Huckleberry,” even wearing the suit itself was a torturous experience. The suit was more than a hundred pounds and rendered him nearly deaf and barely able to move....

Why Orlando Bloom S Pirates Of The Caribbean Character Wasn T Easy To Pull Off

Why Orlando Bloom’s Pirates Of The Caribbean Character Wasn’t Easy To Pull Off Disney By Lyvie Scott/Aug. 5, 2022 3:34 pm EST Playing the everyman isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re playing against a larger-than-life antihero like Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. The swashbuckler was the arguable selling point for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, at least at first. Most fans came for Depp’s swaggering, rum-gulping pirate — but they stayed for the equally-compelling characters in his orbit, like Sparrow’s longtime rival Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) or star-crossed lovers Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley)....

Why The Banshees Of Inisherin Has Such An Unconventional Soundtrack Searchlight Pictures By Mike Shutt/Nov. 2, 2022 1:33 pm EST “The Banshees of Inisherin” could not be more Irish if it tried. Even if you look beyond its Irish cast, filmmaker, and setting, the entire story of the picture essentially is a dark fable about the Irish Civil War. This is a film that could not exist without Ireland. However, the sound of “The Banshees of Inisherin” isn’t particularly Irish....

Update Hbo Reportedly Declined A Westworld Season 5 On Fast Due To Budgetary Limitations

Going the way of Batgirl and Carnivále HBO Though the fifth and final season of “Westworld” is not happening, we learned previously that the show’s main cast would still get paid millions for it. We also heard that HBO was mulling a move to FAST for “Westworld” and other shows like “The Nevers,” and this new report lends more credence to that, with THR reiterating that Warner Bros. Discovery is cutting costs and seeking out license partnerships in an effort to reduce its overhead....

5 Actors We D Love To See Play Wonder Man In The Mcu Series

Cheyenne Jackson FX Admittedly, my first instinct was to cast Matt Bomer, but since he’s already playing Larry Trainor in the DC series “Doom Patrol,” it’s a better idea to cast his doppelgänger, Cheyenne Jackson. Jackson got his start in musical theater so he’s already a proven physical actor, but the role that proves he’d be a killer Wonder Man is surprisingly another Disney property, the television film “Descendents 3” where he played the live-action version of Hades from Disney’s “Hercules....

Alfonso Cuarón Had Little Interest In Children Of Men Until Tragedy Struck Universal Pictures By Steven Ward/Oct. 16, 2022 10:00 am EST It’s a common lesson learned amongst directors that any judgment call on a script isn’t always final. One minute they’re tossing it aside out of indifference or disgust and the next they’re engrossed in its possibilities. Such was the tenuous relationship Alfonso Cuarón had with “Children of Men” when he was first pitched it....

Andrew Dominik Explains His Choice For Marilyn Monroe S Fate In Blonde

Andrew Dominik Explains His Choice For Marilyn Monroe’s Fate In Blonde Netflix By Jeremy Smith/Oct. 4, 2022 3:44 pm EST Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde” is easily the most controversial film of the fall. Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ fictionalized account of Marilyn Monroe’s brutally tragic life, Dominik leans way more into the brutality than the tragedy. For close to three hours, he treats his glamorous subject like a corpse on a slab; alas, he proves a poor coroner because, from frame one, it feels as though he’s made up his mind as to the cause of death....

Bedknobs And Broomsticks Let Angela Lansbury Give One Of The Most Enjoyable Performances Of All Time

Bedknobs And Broomsticks Let Angela Lansbury Give One Of The Most Enjoyable Performances Of All Time Disney By Danielle Ryan/Oct. 11, 2022 5:58 pm EST The 1971 Robert Stevenson film “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” often gets unfairly maligned as a lesser “Mary Poppins,” but that’s a huge disservice to the performance of the late, great Angela Lansbury. The late Academy Award-nominated actor had not yet become a household name with the 1980s television series “Murder, She Wrote,” but film and Broadway fans were sure to recognize her playing a wacky witch who goes on a magical animated journey with a family of children and a con artist/purported school of witchcraft professor named Mr....

Danny Devito Originally Wanted Edward Norton For Robin Williams Death To Smoochy Role

Danny DeVito Originally Wanted Edward Norton For Robin Williams’ Death To Smoochy Role Warner Bros. Danny DeVito’s 2002 dark comedy “Death to Smoochy” is an odd animal indeed. Caustic, misanthropic, and surreal, “Death to Smoochy” came at the tail end of the peculiar wave of cultural hatred directed at Barney the purple dinosaur (the recent Peacock documentary series “I Love You, You Hate Me” covers that particular chapter in 1990s history)....

Pictures By Debopriyaa Dutta/Sept. 26, 2022 5:00 am EST On the surface, “Prisoners” — director Denis Villeneuve’s 2013 English-language debut – is a revenge tale gone wrong, about a devout survivalist, Kelly Dover (Hugh Jackman), who finds out that his daughter Anna (Erin Gerasimovich), has been kidnapped. However, much like the film’s central metaphor, “Prisoners” is a labyrinth, wherein the characters are trapped in their own mental prisons made of internal tussles and moral quandaries....
