Oh… true. This is an aspect of the job you might not even think about until you find yourself standing in front of Charlize Theron about to film a choreographed fight scene. As KiKi Layne told Variety, she was really excited and honored to share scenes with the Mad Max actress, but a lot of

Even with antibodies against COVID-19, Rita Wilson and her husband understand that this fact will diminish with time, and they could become infected and/or carriers of the virus yet again. So maintaining the strategic pillars of social distancing, hand-washing and mask-wearing is something that she is stressing for both those who haven’t had to deal

From there, the message became clear: the minions aren’t the sideshow anymore. They’re the main attraction, and that’s why they’ll get another movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru, next year. This sequel bridges the gap between the Despicable Me trilogy and its spin-off prequel, which will likely prove to be another astronomical hit. Certainly, Hollywood

Although social media allows fans to interact with their favorite creatives more than ever, there’s still often a barrier between the famous and… well, everyone else. But the writer of the new indie flick The Sunlit Night got lucky when she had a brief exchange with Jenny Slate that later turned into a filmmaking partnership

So the lack of Constantine 2 happening even a decade and a half after the first movie came out isn’t for a lack of interest from its lead star or director. As Francis Lawrence informed Slashfilm, John Constantine’s usage is complicated by “shared universes” (i.e. the character once being part of Vertigo, which was a

There is, of course, one significant problem, which is that the leader of the band of immortals isn’t actually immortal anymore. Andy is fortunate to discover that her healing abilities are gone after receiving a non-lethal injury, and she certainly seems like she is in good shape at the very end of The Old Guard,

Dan Stevens’ role in Beauty and the Beast was a particularly demanding one, not only because he’d be following a beloved animated character, but he also wore a motion-capture suit and sang some major notes for Alan Menken’s new song “Evermore,” which added dimension to Beast’s character. Stevens reflected:

Now that he mentions it, I can totally see the personality resemblance between Howard the Duck and Danny DeVito. The cynical and sarcastic approach seems to vibe pretty well with both Guardians of the Galaxy’s sense of humor and the oftentimes satirical comics. And fans are hoping to see more in the future.

Clint Eastwood Passed On Playing Superman, John McClane, Bond, And Apocalypse Now Just as it’s hard to imagine anyone besides Clint Eastwood playing Dirty Harry or The Man With No Name, it’s difficult to envision Eastwood playing John McClane in Die Hard, the Man of Steel, or James Bond. Yet, apparently, all those roles were

It’s no secret Dirty Dancing was a massive hit when it hit theaters in the late ‘80s, scoring the No. 10 spot on the highest-grossing box office earners in the domestic market, with a total of over $213 million worldwide. Made on a modest budget of around $6 million, Dirty Dancing also became the first

Twitter saw these supposed photos of the supposed transgression sent out to the world, with the potential smear to Amber Heard’s reputation on full display. With the supposed list of culprits including friends of Heard’s, as well as her Yorkshire Terrier Boo, there is no definitive solution to this murky mystery. Though in his own

About That Endgame “Natasha, Daughter Of Ivan” Reveal Right before Natasha sacrificed herself for the Soul Stone in Avengers: Endgame, the Red Skull revealed that she is the daughter of someone named Ivan, which she apparently did not know prior to that. It’s interesting the film would touch on Natasha’s lineage just prior to Black

Obviously there are no real rumors or speculation that Rian Johnson is even anywhere near being considered for Detective Pikachu 2. This all really stemmed from seeing how good of a job Johnson did directing that Pokemon Go spot, as well as his proclaimed love for Pokemon. However, those particular facts, in addition to the

Following the success of Blumhouse’s Halloween, two more movies were ordered: Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, which will be released two Octobers in a row. But with the future of movie theaters currently up in the air, the first sequel has already been pushed back a calendar year. Jamie Lee Curtis plays the iconic Laurie

And in case you watched Palm Springs’ ending thinking, “But what happened to Roy?” the good news is that a mid-credits scene offers a bit of closure. We reunite with the character at the wedding as he approaches Nyles at the bar. He tells his frequent homicide victim that he got the voice mail that

Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014) Based on the beloved children’s book of the same (very long) name by Judith Viorst, our titular misfortuned character (Ed Oxenbould) wonders why only bad things happen to him, only for the rest of his family to experience their own terrible, horrible, no good,

To the casual observer, it may seem like filming documentary footage is pretty cut and dry. You’re just filming stuff that’s actually happening, right? However, anyone who’s actually worked on a documentary will tell you it’s not quite that simple. In the case of Disney+’s Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II, changes to the blockbuster

Chris Perez Is Still Friends With Jon Seda, Who Portrayed Him In Selena During his two-decade streak of not watching the film based on his late wife, Chris Perez still had a connection to Selena through the man who played him, Jon Seda. The actor, whom modern audiences may recognize as Antonio Dawson from the

Anthony Ramos Initially Wanted To Be A Baseball Player/Coach Everyone has a different path, finding their talents and career destination along the way, though Anthony Ramos didn’t initially set his sights on being a young actor/musician of the stage and screen. No, in his early life, Ramos planned to be a baseball player, with aspirations

Jumanji: The Next Level originally had a strong start at the box office, as the film debuted with a near $60 million haul, making it the top film at the box office that weekend. The Sony-produced feature would eventually become the tenth highest grossing film of 2019. And even after theaters closed down following the

It’s especially exciting how experimental Universal is getting with its plans for monster films, and I’d imagine it’s stretching itself across multiple genres and types of filmmakers can only help the studio succeed, following scrapped plans to build an extended Dark Universe with interconnected characters after the highly disappointing reception of The Mummy remake, starring

I recently had a chance to speak with Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2 director Megan Harding about the process of creating the series. Since nobody knew where the movie itself was going, Harding and her team simply did their best trying to get the footage and the interviews that they thought would make for

While montages are commonplace in feature films, found in the majority of releases, they have a special significance in time loop stories. Why? Because as soon as a character is shown in a montage reliving multiple days in a short blast to move the plot along, all concept of chronological time is thrown out the

Why Hamilton Shouldn’t Be Eligible For The Oscars Putting aside various issues and systemic problems, the Academy Awards is about one thing: the celebration of film. All genres are taken into consideration, as are documentaries and shorts, and the art is highlighted on a great number of levels – from visual effects and production design,

It’s unclear what the ultimate reason was for Will Smith turning down Captain Hook. He may have simply not loved the role, or he may have decided that one Disney live-action remake is enough for him, especially considering that all indications are we’ll be getting a sequel to Aladdin at some point in the future,

We still have yet to see Halle’s look as Ariel one year later. The movie has been kept a mystery other than its incredible ensemble cast. Melissa McCarthy is playing Ursula, Hamilton’s Daveed Diggs is Sebastian, Awkwafina will be Scuttle, Jacob Tremblay is Flounder, Javier Bardem is King Triton, and British actor Jonah Hauer-King will

Hollywood is still in the midst of figuring out exactly how to move forward, with productions trying to be both safe and efficient in their operations, but one movie now exists that’s far ahead of the curve. It’s titled Malcolm & Marie, it’s written and directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, it stars John David

Around 1/3 into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Bruce Wayne falls asleep in the Batcave and sees a vision of a terrifying dystopian future. In the Knightmare Superman is an authoritarian leader, ruling over terrifying Parademons in a desert wasteland. But stunt performer Richard Cetrone recently revealed that the scene wasn’t originally in the

When Lin-Manuel Miranda first set out to adapt it into a film, he imagined it more so as a “little indie musical,” but when he collaborated with Chu he realized how rare the opportunity would be to turn the story into something filmed on a huge scale. The movie was shot on an anamorphic scale
