Why Alan Ruck Was Working At Sears After Shooting Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Paramount Pictures By Shae Sennett/May 14, 2022 11:01 am EST Nearly 40 years after his role as Cameron in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” actor Alan Ruck has reentered the cultural zeitgeist with his role as Connor in HBO’s “Succession” and Jay Rosen in Hulu’s “The Dropout.” There are no big gaps in Ruck’s resume — the actor spent decades bouncing between supporting parts in moderately successful television shows from “Spin City” to “Greek” — but Ruck had a hard time finding a project as exciting as “Ferris Bueller” to follow up his breakout role....

Why Jerry Lewis’ The Day The Clown Cried Was Never Released Library of Congress By Lee Adams/Dec. 22, 2021 2:39 pm EST In the early ’70s, Jerry Lewis made a Holocaust drama so controversial that it still provokes lively debate today, even though almost no-one on the planet has seen it. The film is “The Day the Clown Cried,” the story of Helmut Doork, a third-rate German clown who finds himself in Auschwitz, where he is given the task of leading Jewish children to their deaths in the gas chambers....

Why Wesley Snipes Walked Away From The New Jack City Sequel Warner Bros. By J. Gabriel Ware/June 12, 2022 4:53 pm EST In fall 2021, “New Jack City” screenwriter Barry Michael Cooper announced in a tweet that he was working on a prequel to the 1991 neo-gangster flick. The tweet came two years after Deadline reported that Warner Bros. had tapped filmmaker and “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” actor Malcolm M....

The Best Threesome - On any other night, this would have easily been a 10-to-1 sketch, but when Will Forte hosts “SNL,” you let him get weird as much as he wants to. From the moment Forte enters the hotel room as Gannon, who could easily be Guy Fieri’s gigolo brother, this sketch never stopped with the laughs. I can’t tell you how hard I laughed as Gannon shook the bed vigorously, and his nonchalant attitude about being a third in this arranged threesome only made it that much funnier....

10 Legendary Moments In Sidney Poitier’s Life That Should Be Celebrated Columbia Pictures By Witney Seibold/Jan. 7, 2022 6:10 pm EST Sidney Poitier led an enormous life. In addition to being a overwhelmingly awarded actor, he was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Honor, received knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, sat on the board of directors at the Walt Disney Company, and served as Bahamian ambassador to Japan, while also serving as the Bahaman ambassador to UNESCO....

5 Marvel Characters We’d Love To See Timothee Chalamet Play A24 By Miyako Pleines/Feb. 18, 2022 9:52 am EST I’m going to be perfectly honest. I would watch Timothée Chalamet play the boot on Captain America’s foot. I literally do not care how he makes his big debut in the MCU, I just care that he does. I mean, let’s be real, ever since Timmy made us all swoon over his depiction of Kyle in Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” we’ve all been obsessed....

Apple TV+ Lands A Feature Documentary About Formula One Racing Champion Lewis Hamilton 1091 Pictures By Kaylee Dugan/March 10, 2022 11:18 am EST If you like watching documentaries about people who engage in horrifyingly dangerous and unimaginatively exhilarating hobbies from the comfort and seclusion of your couch, boy does Apple TV+ have something for you! The streaming service/behemoth has just acquired an unnamed documentary about the Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, who won seven world champions and is the only Black driver currently in the Formula One racing class....

Bradley Cooper’s Maestro Adds Matt Bomer USA By Shania Russell/March 16, 2022 11:04 am EST The last we heard of Bradley Cooper’s second stint behind the camera, his Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro” was set to begin filming in May — just in time for production to kick off, the film is solidifying its cast. According to The Wrap, Matt Bomer is in talks to join the cast of the upcoming film, which features Cooper as both director and star....

Capturing Attack On Titan’s Massive Scale Was A Struggle Behind The Scenes Crunchyroll By Rafael Motamayor/April 12, 2022 4:36 pm EST “Attack on Titan” has always been a show about scale, about facing something bigger and hard to beat. From the very first episode when we get the iconic shot of the Colossal Titan towering over the giant walls protecting the city of Shiganshina, the anime has always used the imagery of the small humans and the monstrous Titans to create terror....

The Last Duel Searchlight Pictures “The truth does not matter, there is only the power of men.” Ridley Scott still has it, and “The Last Duel,” one of two films the 84-year-old filmmaker released in 2021, has him at the top of his game. Working with a clever script from Nicole Holofcener, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon, Scott’s “The Last Duel” is based on the true story of the final officially recognized judicial duel fought in France....

Christian Bale Learned From The Mistakes Of Past Bruce Waynes For The Dark Knight Trilogy Warner Bros. Pictures By Devin Meenan/May 13, 2022 10:43 am EST While “The Batman” has taken the world by storm, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson still stand on the shoulders of Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale. The “Dark Knight” trilogy, especially its eponymous middle chapter, has yet to be surpassed. With how much Batman and superhero stories since have worked in its shadow, “The Dark Knight” is the most influential thing to happen to Batman since Frank Miller....

Colin Farrell Went To Starbucks In His Penguin Make-Up For The Batman Warner Bros. Pictures By Jenna Busch/Feb. 23, 2022 9:23 pm EST As we’ve seen in the trailers for “The Batman,” Colin Farrell is absolutely unrecognizable in his makeup for the role of Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin. I wouldn’t recognize him on the street. Honestly, I’d look though and worry that he was one of the mob guys who used to go to a restaurant I worked at in NYC....

Erin Moriarty’s Scariest Scene In The Boys Had Nothing To Do With Superpowers Prime Video By Jeremy Mathai/May 24, 2022 11:09 am EST Even for those viewers wholly unfamiliar with the original comic source material, “The Boys” didn’t take long at all to quickly establish exactly the kind of no-holds-barred series that it would be. Under creator Eric Kripke’s steady guidance and over the course of two seasons, viewers have been subjected to dozens of gruesome kills, a blown-up whale carcass, the massacre of countless innocents, highly disturbing implications surrounding The Deep and his, ah, intimacy with aquatic animals, and plenty of unflinching commentary on the most bigoted views that have become sadly normalized in modern society....

I Am Legend Caused Some Real-Life Chaos For The Citizens Of New York Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/April 22, 2022 9:09 am EST When it hit theaters in late 2007, “I Am Legend” was something of a mixed bag. The movie was an unqualified commercial success, scoring the biggest December opening ever at the time, but its star, Will Smith, was still disappointed in its box-office results and questioned whether a different ending might have made it a bigger hit....

Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Will Feature Hobbit Ancestors Called ‘Harfoots’ New Line Cinema By Sandy Schaefer/Feb. 10, 2022 12:17 pm EST With the first trailer for “The Rings of Power” due to debut at Super Bowl LVI this Sunday (February 13, 2022, for those who could use a reminder, like me), Vanity Fair has gone ahead and unveiled a collection of first-look photos and details for the much-discussed — and very costly — fantasy show....

Matthew McConaughey Went Primal Committing To His Reign Of Fire Role Disney By Rafael Motamayor/May 16, 2022 1:39 pm EST Sometimes, it feels like we are past the era of prototypical action movie stars. Sure, there’s Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, Keanu Reeves, Jason Statham, and more, but they seem to appear in fewer movies than stars of the ’80s and ’90s like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, or Jean-Claude Van Damme. Then there are actors who definitely should be considered bigger stars, like Frank Grillo and Scott Adkins, but aren’t....

New Battlestar Galactica Movie Will Share A Universe With The Upcoming Series Syfy By Jenna Busch/Jan. 6, 2022 2:28 pm EST Shared universes are a common thing these days. Heck, even Marvel and Sony have characters that link in the superhero world, meaning world peace might actually be attainable. Though it’s been a good decade since we last saw “Battlestar Galactica” on our television screens, we’re going to get a lot more of it soon....

Nope Trailer: Jordan Peele’s Latest Horror Is Almost Here Universal Pictures By Lex Briscuso/June 9, 2022 9:07 am EST The story is finally starting to take shape. A little less than two months out from the release of Jordan Peele’s third feature film, “Nope,” we now have a final trailer that has put together the pieces for us — which leads me to believe there is a lot still left to be discovered when the film actually releases....
