Ghostbusters Left Bill Murray Feeling ‘Radioactive’ Columbia Pictures By Travis Yates/March 28, 2022 3:51 pm EST One would think an actor would want to capitalize on the most popular role of his career. Of course, when you’re talking about Bill Murray, you’re dealing with someone playing by a different set of rules. The quirky actor got his start in television as one of the early players on “Saturday Night Live.” He found moderate success in the early 1980s with roles in “Caddyshack” and “Stripes....

‘There’s certainly more there to explore’ Lucasfilm Ever since Disney acquired “Star Wars” and jump-started the franchise once again, every hint and tease and brief appearance of Darth Vader has managed to set the fandom on fire, leading to renewed calls for either a new movie or a new series of his own. (Never mind that George Lucas himself once gave us an entire trilogy of films fully centered on the villain’s origin story, of course!...

The Sucker Punch effect Warner Bros. Perhaps it’s the breakneck pace of the modern blockbuster that has scared modern audiences away from intimacy. Action heroes are often placed in situations of constant movement. Stopping to boink is anathema to their quest of violence. A savvy filmgoer might have sensed the tide turning in 2011 with the release of Zack Snyder’s horrendous action clunker “Sucker Punch,” a film about young, exploited strippers who have been forced into sexual slavery by a sputtering would-be pimp (Oscar Isaac)....

Only now, at the end, do you understand Lucasfilm “It was nice to know that I wasn’t dead. Well, he wouldn’t be, would he?” McDiarmid said at the panel. He continued: A lot of people said, ‘You can’t bring him back, he was dead! Did you see that fall? How could anyone survive that?’ Excuse me… [audience laughs] He’s the Emperor of the Universe. Anyway, nobody’s going to tell me he wouldn’t have had a Plan B, should someone — unlikely though he may have thought — manage to semi-destroy him....

Pictures By Lex Briscuso/April 29, 2022 1:29 pm EST In news that is sure to make you look back mournfully at your childhood, I regret to inform you that it’s official: the iconic song “Barbie Girl” by Aqua will not feature in the upcoming film “Barbie.” Cue the tears. I’m not kidding. “The song will not be used in the movie,” Ulrich Møller-Jørgensen, who manages Aqua lead singer Lene Nystrøm, recently confirmed to Variety in regards to the 2023 Greta Gerwig release....

The greenhouse scene Warner Bros. Johnny Carson handily describes the scene to his “Tonight Show” audience: Lemmon’s character has fallen off the wagon, and he goes to his greenhouse to find a bottle of whiskey he had stashed in one of the potted plants. Only Lemmon can’t quite remember which potted plant the booze was hidden in, and — in an extended sequence marked by two unbroken shots — he grows frustrated to the point of smashing things....

Friday the 13th (1980) Paramount Pictures Inspired by the success of John Carpenter’s “Halloween,” Sean S. Cunningham and Victor Miller concocted a story about a group of teenage camp counselors who are murdered one by one by an unseen killer just weeks before the reopening of an abandoned summer camp. Originally titled “A Long Night at Camp Blood,” the film that would become “Friday the 13th” was shot on a budget of only $550,000 and sparked a bidding war over distribution rights between Paramount Pictures, United Artists, and Warner Bros....

Neo Still Knows Kung Fu In This Matrix Resurrections Featurette Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 15, 2021 4:14 pm EST Keanu Reeves is doing it all these days. As if it wasn’t enough to earn the accolades of practically every director he’s ever worked with, put it on his own shoulders to turn “John Wick” into a big original franchise, and most recently talk up his interest in reprising his underrated “Constantine” role once more, the “Matrix” star most recently earned even more goodwill (if that’s possible at this point) for thumbing his nose at the NFT crowd....

Fans who were all in on the original are all in on every new iteration, sight unseen....

The Captain Marvel Scene You Likely Didn’t Know Was Improvised Marvel Studios By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Jan. 18, 2022 9:41 am EST Actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are famously known for their improvisation skills. From Robert Downey Jr.’s “I love you 3000,” to Tom Holland’s “I don’t want to go,” and Dave Bautista’s “Why is Gamora?” there are plenty of moments in the MCU where actors ad-libbed their way out of a scene....

The Lesson Paul Newman Taught Tom Cruise On The Set Of The Color Of Money Touchstone Pictures By Mike Shutt/Feb. 3, 2022 2:35 pm EST Acting classes can be a little weird.

By Witney Seibold/March 16, 2022 12:34 pm EST The storied production of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” has already become the stuff of filmmaking legend.
