Fans got a first glimpse of the production of Marvel’s Thunderbolts* after Florence Pugh posted a behind-the-scenes video on her social media. The BTS video was a welcome move from Pugh, as it helped fans regain confidence in the film after its several production issues. However, the video also allegedly spoiled one of the major plotlines of the film as Pugh unintentionally showed a structure behind her during the set tour.

After the promotional tours for Dune: Part Two, Florence Pugh joined the sets of Thunderbolts* in Atlanta. The filming was significantly delayed due to the strikes and the extensive rewriting of the film’s script.

Before Star Wars, Harrison Ford had a mysterious role in American Graffiti that perfectly foreshadowed his iconic Han Solo character. Ford's small yet impactful cameo as Bob Falfa in George Lucas's film showcased his rebel demeanor and vehicle prowess, like Solo. American Graffiti's influence on Ford's career highlights the lasting power of his filmography and his collaboration with George Lucas.
Before Harrison Ford starred in 1977's Star Wars as the iconic Han Solo, a previous George Lucas movie brilliantly foreshadowed the actor and director's future collaboration success. Although there are plenty of movies by Star Wars writers not about the series, Lucas's early career is one of the shining examples of breathing life into projects that aren't set in a galaxy far, far away. Furthermore, despite his limited filmography, some of the best movies directed by George Lucas have contributed to cinematic history in ways that continue to...

Each season of Jack Ryan spins a world-dooming conspiracy, but season 4 had convoluted plotting and an overstuffed story. Season 2 saw Jack transition into a more political role, losing some charm, but also introduced memorable new character Mike November. Season 3 was the most espionage-heavy, with intense action and compelling new characters making it the most Bond-like installment.
Separating the best seasons of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan from the worst requires more than just a head for numbers and a blatant disregard for authority, whatever Jack himself might say. From Harrison Ford to Chris Pine, many A-list actors have played the role of Jack Ryan, and John Krasinski joined that prestigious list when he made the surprise switch from comedy to action for Amazon's TV adaptation in 2018. Jack Ryan season 4 ended the show in 2023, with Krasinski's performance and the series itself broadly enjoying positive reactions throughout its run.
Nevertheless, Jack Ryan did waver in quality.

If you’d have to guess, you would not probably get closer to the movie that terrified George Clooney. Of course, in our heads, Batman & Robin would pop up to be the scariest movie in his career but it was far from it.

Certainly, Clooney would hate to talk about his disastrous 1997 DC movie playing Batman against Arnold Schwarzenegger’s supervillain Mr. Freeze. However, the decorated Hollywood actor has opened up about the movie that sent shivers down his spine.

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas stand as two of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Alongside their remarkable careers, the pair shares a decades-long friendship and a collaborative effort on the action-adventure franchise starring Harrison Ford. Lucas is credited with crafting the story for the initial four Indiana Jones films, while Spielberg took the helm as director.
Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls
Despite the overwhelming success of their collaboration, the fourth installment has garnered criticism as the least favored entry in the franchise. Spielberg seemingly attributed the film’s reputation to his friend and collaborator, suggesting he was just translating Lucas’ vision to the screen.

Anthony Mackie has confirmed that Captain America 4 will not feature Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes. Bucky's absence in Captain America 4 makes his role in Thunderbolts more crucial as the latter needs to prove Bucky is a character that works outside the Captain America franchise. Thunderbolts is a good enough reason to have Bucky be absent from Captain America 4, with the continuation of Sam's story also meaning a new supporting cast for Cap makes sense.
An update about the cast of Captain America: Brave New World has made another upcoming MCU movie even more important than it was before. Captain America 4's release date will see it be the first MCU film in 2025 after it was delayed from 2024. This delay has made the wait for the film even greater, spurring anticipation to see Anthony Mackie's first solo outing as Captain America even further.

The wooden slab that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet hang onto in the last scene of filmmaker James Cameron’s 1997 film ‘Titanic’ has fetched over Rs 5 crore at an auction.
Heritage Auctions announced that its recent Treasures From Planet Hollywood auction collected Rs 1,56,80,000 ($15.68) million in total, reports people.com.

While the prop item is referred to as the “floating door” by fans of the movie, the item is actually “part of the door frame just above the (ship’s) first-class lounge entrance,” as per the auction.

No one who has ever seen the movie Titanic could ever forget the gut-wrenching scene of Rose, portrayed by Kate Winslet, floating on the door of the icy waters. The now-infamous door was recently part of an auction. The Heritage Auctions’ Treasures held an event at Planet Hollywood. That is where the door Kate Winslet made famous was sold.
The Titanic Controversy
The movie Titanic was not without controversy. Surprisingly, people did not sit around debating whether or not the movie starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio was historically correct or not. Instead, fans of the movie debated as to whether or not Jack, the love interest of Rose, could have survived the icy waters on the door.
Even though Titanic was released over two decades ago, fans are still debating as to whether or not Jack had to die. This topic was also a debate during the filming of the movie.

The fateful chunk of balsa wood from 1997’s Titanic fetched a whopping $718,750 during Heritage Auctions’ Treasures from Planet Hollywood event and was the piece of memorabilia that brought in the highest amount — beating iconic props like Indiana Jones’ bullwhip from Temple of Doom and Jack Nicholson’s ax from The Shining. While commonly referred to as a door, the auction notes the ornate structure was “in reality part of the door frame just above the [ship’s] first-class lounge entrance.”
In addition, Winslet’s chiffon dress that she wore during the film’s final act sold for $125,000.
Fans have famously debated whether both Jack and Rose could have fit on the panel, which would have in theory saved Jack from freezing to death in the final moments of the Oscar-winning film. Last year around the film’s 25th anniversary,...

Making a place for himself among critically acclaimed directors like Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, Denis Villeneuve has turned himself into an extraordinary icon following his take on Dune. While previously the novels were considered “unadaptable” following David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed attempts, Villeneuve proved his capabilities with his sequels.

Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation" is his masterpiece in between masterpieces. The legendary filmmaker wrapped principal photography in late February 1973, just one month before he would win the Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars for "The Godfather" (Albert Ruddy took home the Best Picture Oscar as the mafia classic's producer). Had Paramount released the film that year, it almost certainly would've received nominations for Best Picture and Director (over the wholly forgotten "A Touch of Class"), giving Coppola three consecutive nods in the latter category, a feat only accomplished once in Academy Awards history (by William Wyler). Instead, he wound up competing against himself a year later, when he added three more Oscars to his trophy case with "The Godfather Part II."

Known for his adventures as the world-renowned archaeologist, Harrison Ford reprised his role as Indiana Jones after 15 years in James Mangold’s 2023 film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. However, despite the anticipation surrounding his return, the film failed miserably at the box office, which has been attributed to the lack of appeal to a wide audience and its excessive budget. Reports suggested potential losses of around $100 million for Disney.

However, the projected losses for the film could have been even more severe if the director had pursued his initial title for the film, which involved naming it after The Beatles album, Magical Mystery Tour.

He recounted how dysentery caused him to lose a staggering 22 pounds in weight over just two days. The severity of the situation was evident as he described lying in a hotel bed, wracked with fever and discomfort, with ants crawling over him due to a room infestation.

The mantle of Captain America has been passed to Anthony Mackie’s Falcon, marking a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). After inheriting the shield from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, Wilson’s journey as Captain America began in the 2021 series “Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”
Anthony Mackie || Captain America: Civil War
There, he worked alongside some talented stars like Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes) and Daniel Brühl (Baron Zemo). As Marvel has forayed from the TV to the movies and will focus more on Captain America, there are fewer chances of these two actors making a bigger impact in the future. Thus, their absence will be felt, not only by fans but by Mackie as well.

While many of us are still experiencing the cold of winter, things are heating up for Harrison Ford on the set of Shrinking. The Apple TV+ series is officially shooting its second season, and a recent social media post shared by Discussing Film shows what appears to be Ford’s Dr. Paul Rhoades bringing some Hawaiian cheer into his office. Throughout life, you’re bound to encounter more than one thing that will make you say “I didn’t know that I needed that” and the iconic actor dressed in a hula skirt is certainly one of them. After putting the final touches on his costume, Ford rushes over to his character’s desk while the production crew cheers him on. Never one to let us down, Ford gives a sarcastic “Let’s shoot this piece of shit!” before the cameras presumably start rolling, and the clip cuts out.

Actor Michael Keaton has spent the last two years reprising his iconic roles from Tim Burton films. The actor will be seen as the beloved ‘bio-exorcist’ Beetlegeuse in the upcoming sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the teaser of which debuted earlier this week. Keaton also starred as Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman in last year’s Dceu film The Flash.
While fans were ecstatic to see Keaton don the cowl again, his casting in the original 1989 Batman did not receive the same fanfare. When he was cast as Wayne in the adaptation, many fans reportedly were outraged at the casting as he was known as a comedic actor. Fans reportedly wrote thousands of letters to Warner Bros. to dissuade them from casting Keaton.

There are several chilling quotes about the dark side of the Force in the Star Wars canon. Fear of loss can lead one to the dark side, as seen with Anakin Skywalker's journey and corruption into Darth Vader. The dark side has been seen as unavoidable due to its nature, bloodlines, and power - yet it can still be resisted as proven with Anakin Skywalker and Ben Solo.
The core of the Star Wars saga has always been the struggle between the light side of the Force and its dark opposite. The dark side of the Force is as tempting as it is corruptive in the established canon. As such, there have been some truly chilling and iconic quotes about the dark side across the entire franchise.

Unused designs for characters like C3-po, Chewbacca, and Yoda offer insight into the evolution of the Star Wars universe.

Captain America: Brave New World is going to be released on February 14, 2025, as things stand now as one of the first movies of the MCU’s Phase Five. The movie will star Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, taking over from Steve Rogers, who was played by Chris Evans in the earlier movies. Now, while Mackie will be joined by some old and some new faces, it seems that MCU veterans Sebastian Stan and Daniel Brühl won’t be returning as Bucky Barnes and Baron Zemo, respectively. The news comes from a recent interview Mackie gave to RadioTimes.

Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro are two of the most accomplished actors of all-time. Ford is the ultimate hero, due to his roles as Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and Jack Ryan. De Niro has often played darker characters in movies like Taxi Driver, The Godfather Part II, and Goodfellas. Even in a comedy like Meet the Parents, De Niro is undeniably terrifying. Over the course of his career, De Niro has frequently collaborated with the iconic director, Martin Scorsese, including 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon. So it was no surprise when, in 1991, they joined forces again for Cape Fear, a remake of the Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck classic. Not only would De Niro and Scorsese be together once more, but arguably the most famous actor of the 80s, Harrison Ford, was almost brought on board as well.

M. Emmet Walsh is dead at the age of 88, his manager Sandy Joseph told IndieWire. The grizzled character actor appeared in Hollywood movies across 55 years and was one of the most recognizable “oh yeah, that guy!” performers in the industry. Even just by saying “grizzled character actor” you probably pictured him, even if you didn’t know his name.
Walsh had bit parts in “Midnight Cowboy,” “Little Big Man,” “Serpico,” “What’s Up, Doc?” and “The Gambler” at the start of his career. But it’s two films from the early 1980s that put him on the map and truly lodged him in the consciousness of cinephiles: “Blade Runner” and “Blood Simple.” In Ridley Scott’s film he played Capt. Bryant, who sends Harrison Ford’s Decker on his quest to terminate the escaped, murderous replicants. Or “retire” them, rather. That’s the kind of euphemism Walsh, in his rumpled way,...

M. Emmet Walsh, the wily character actor who became an audience favorite for his deliciously despicable performances in such films as Blood Simple, Blade Runner, Brubaker and The Jerk, has died. He was 88.
Walsh died Tuesday in St. Albans, Vermont, his longtime manager, Sandy Joseph, told The Hollywood Reporter. The cause was cardiac arrest.
With his distinctive lumbering form and droll delivery, Walsh was an ideal supporting player. A master of off-kilter comic delivery and dogged edginess, he excelled at roles that dwelled in the darker corners of humanity. No matter whom he played, he made a colorful impact.
“A consummate old pro of the second-banana business, Walsh has left his mark on 109 movies and counting, with the grin of that big bastard who stands between you and something else — and knows it,” Nicolas Rapold wrote in a 2011 profile of the actor for L.A. Weekly.
