By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Jan. 20, 2022 12:49 pm EST In the words of Gilderoy Lockhart, “Fame is a fickle friend,” a sentiment that echoed in the hearts of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the three young child actors who became famous overnight, thanks to their central roles in the “Harry Potter” franchise. Warner Bros. Pictures recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the first of eight blockbuster films that earned the actors their global star status....

Who is Glossu Rabban? Warner Bros. Glossu Rabban is part of the Great House Harkonnen. As the nephew of Baron Harkonnen, he is tasked with governing the planet of Arrakis and managing the harvesting and production of spice for the Empire — at least until his brother and favored nephew Feyd-Rautha can take over.

The RRR Acronym Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means Variance Films/Sarigama Cinemas By Natalia Keogan/June 23, 2022 1:08 pm EST Everyone is talking about “RRR,” the Indian Telugu-language epic that chronicles the fictional exploits of two real-life revolutionaries. The three-hour-long, $72 million action-musical is massive in every way, save for its alliterative, catchy title. But what does it actually stand for? It would be easy to assume that the acronym serves as a shorthand for the film’s official title, “Rise Roar Revolt,” but it’s actually more rooted in straight-forward audience marketing....

What The I Am Legend Monsters Originally Looked Like Warner Bros. By Anya Stanley/March 8, 2022 10:02 pm EST “I Am Legend” made a killing at the box office upon its release in 2007, pulling in nearly $600 million with its loose adaptation of Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel. The story, ostensibly of a virologist navigating the world after a pandemic has turned most of humanity into a race of blood-feasting mutants, is less about vampires or viral outbreaks than it is about loneliness, and nothing demonstrates this better than the uncanny, feral monsters antagonizing star Will Smith....

Straight from the Uncanny Valley Lucasfilm The technology behind recreating Hamill’s voice for young Luke was first revealed after he returned in “The Mandalorian” season 2 finale, and it’s pretty creepy. The voice was completely synthesized using an application called Respeecher. Matthew Wood, an sound editor on the franchise, explained how the program worked in the “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian” featurette on Disney+: “It’s a neural network you feed information into and it learns....

30% Think This Is The Best Live-Action Spider-Man Movie – Here’s Why They’re Wrong Sony Pictures By Kristian Lin/Feb. 1, 2022 5:21 pm EST Which of the live-action Spider-Man movies is the best? We posed that question to hundreds of random people through SurveyMonkey, and the winner was surprising: more than 30% of the vote went to the original “Spider-Man” that came out in 2002. It’s understandable that our readers have a soft spot for the film where the series began — after all, the other films might not have come to us at all if audiences didn’t like the first one....

Cox has led the ensemble series, which has won no fewer than nine Primetime Emmy awards....

Alan Grant’s Famous Brachiosaurus Reaction In Jurassic Park Was Sam Neill’s Idea Universal Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/June 9, 2022 1:44 pm EST Perhaps the greatest joy of having a new “Jurassic World” movie set to release is revisiting the original “Jurassic Park” again and praising its enduring charms. Steven Spielberg is perhaps the master of crafting thoroughly entertaining but also deeply meaningful blockbuster fare, and much of that comes down to his strengths in directing actors....

Bill Murray Became A Different Person For Where The Buffalo Roam Universal Pictures By Danielle Ryan/April 4, 2022 2:38 pm EST Bill Murray is a comedy legend, the kind of actor who’s not only famous for the many incredible roles he’s portrayed, but also for his sometimes affable, always eccentric personality. Murray has had an amazing career, starring in classics like “Caddyshack,” “Ghostbusters,” “Stripes,” and “Tootsie” before going on to be a Wes Anderson regular and arthouse favorite....

Brad Pitt Isn’t Exactly Proud Of His Performance In Troy Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/June 9, 2022 9:29 pm EST Wolfgang Petersen’s 2004 peplum flick “Troy” is a large, clunky, gorgeous hunk of oiled-up idiocy that, while financially successful, failed to gain traction in the critical consciousness. Petersen’s version of “The Iliad” was a Hollywood-ready battle movie with Orlando Bloom as Paris, Brian Cox as Agamemnon, Eric Bana as Hector, Sean Bean as Odysseus, and Diane Kruger as Helen of Troy....
