Stellan Skarsgård is almost unrecognizable in his role as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in Dune and its recently release sequel, Dune: Part Two. Skarsgård has undergone an impeccable transformation in the makeup room to turn into the overarching villain of these movies.
The hours spent in makeup is nothing new for the actor as he chose to do the same for his character, Bootstrap Bill Turner, in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Skarsgård’s Dune 2 co-star Austin Butler earlier revealed that he took almost 3 hours to transform into the sociopathic bald villain, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. However, this time appears insignificant compared to Skarsgård’s 6-hour process for Pirates of the Caribbean and 8-hour process for Dune.

Though Dave Lawrence will likely always be best known in these parts for his work in the Fubar movies the writer-performer is now adding director to his resume as well with comedy western A Legend Of Whitey.It's 1885. Wild bison are scarce in the North West Territories. Luther Giddings (Paul Spence), a scout of mixed blood returns to the buffalo ranch where he was born to reunite with his half brother, William Turner (Dave Lawrence). Greeted by a rag tag posse of racists, homophobes and gossips, the only kindness Luther receives is from the rancher's effeminate son. Whiskey floats more trouble than it drowns and before long, he is on the run, the bison rancher's inept outfit on his tail. When Luther discovers that...

Best known as hard drinking, hard rocking Terry from the Michael Dowse directed Fubar movies Dave Lawrence has got a few other tricks up his sleeve. He co-wrote those films, for one thing, and he's now making his directorial debut with comedy western A Legend Of Whitey.It's 1885. Wild bison are scarce in the North West Territories.

Since Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was released in 2003, I have been an enormous fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. No other film series in the last decade has captured my imagination the way Pirates did with its astounding special effects and swashbuckling adventure.
But it never would have been a success without Johnny Depp's inspired performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp practically invented his own pirate language as Sparrow, and indeed, Jack Sparrow costumes dominated Halloween parties that year (and the next). While the first three installments encapsulated the tale of William Turner and Elizabeth Swann, they were also undeniably the adventures of Jack Sparrow on his quest for fortune, reknown and life eternal.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End not only concluded the Elizabeth-William arc, it neatly set up a new adventure with the map to the Fountain of Youth.

Sometimes the what-could-have-been films that we dream up in our head far exceed what we're presented with on screen. As studios see it necessary to insert predictable subplots of romance, or try to push a blank slate protagonist on us, we let the better parts of a film become obscured. Perhaps there isn't enough time to explore the secondary characters and stories, and perhaps their limited time on screen makes them all the more memorable, but we still want more.
Attempting to ignore poor acting performances, the following movies provoke us to wonder what they'd be like without the main character moreso than without the headline actor. While this character certainly changes the context and events within the film, I'd like to believe these movies could still exist without too much alteration.

As his film Another Year continues to build hype toward awards season, director Mike Leigh is already on to "discussing" his next project. As he told L.A Times, Leigh is gathering interest and funding towards a period film surrounding the life of the influential 19th century British landscape artist, J.M.W. Turner. Many of Leigh’s films, such as Another Year and Secrets & Lies, tend to focus on the working, middle-class, however, a film about Turner, would fall more along the lines of Leigh’s two period films – Vera Drake and Topsy Turvy. About creating a film solely about an artist, Leigh stated, “I’d like to paint a bigger picture. The conceit there was to take these famous people and subvert the whole thing by saying they’re real people with problems and issues and relationships and vulnerabilities.” Gist: Joseph Mallord William Turner was a English Romantic landscape painter,...

[caption id="attachment_4953" align="aligncenter" width="451" caption="Orlando Bloom"]/caption] Orlando Bloom will not return to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ because his character is dead to him. The British actor, who played good guy William Turner in the swashbuckling flick, has no plans to return to the franchise, despite a clamour for his reprisal. He said: “No, I’m definitely not returning. William Turner is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.” Although the 33-year-old star won’t be joining Johnny Depp in the new movie, Orlando had a blast making the previous films. He added: “I had a great time making those movies. I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it’s going to be great. Whatever Johnny does, I think it’s fantastic.” Orlando is the second star of the franchise to confirm he won’t be in the next instalment of the series. Keira Knightly - who...
