One of Hollywood’s greatest living actors, Michael Caine, is sending his fans into a tizzy over a photo posted to his personal Twitter account. The image depicts an impressive stack of Caine’s films on DVD and Blu-ray, encapsulating the highs and lows of his storied career as an entertainer. While gems like Get Carter, The Last Valley, and Harry Brown adorn the pile, cinematic blights like On Deadly Ground, Jaws: The Revenge, and The Island sit among the crowd.
The variety of films in Caine’s collection speaks volumes about the actor’s sense of humor and accomplishment. While some actors tend to want to cast their cinematic sins to the fiery depths, Caine proudly displays several of his biggest box office bombs and critically panned misfires. For example, Peter Benchley’s The Island is an insane bit of cinema featuring Caine as a kidnap victim of inbred pirates.

I have had a strong appreciation for the 1990 sci-fi action thriller I Come in Peace, which is also known by the title Dark Angel in some territories, ever since it first came out when I was a kid, and several of my cohorts here on JoBlo are fans of the film as well – with John “The Arrow” Fallon recommending it and Chris Bumbray calling it “The Best Christmas Action Movie You Never Saw.” So we’re excited to hear that Shout Factory will be giving the film a 4K release on July 9th – and if you’re also a fan of this movie and want to add the 4K release to your collection, it’s available for pre-order at This Link!

Start calling him Sir Christopher Nolan from now onwards. The Oscar-winning filmmaker and his wife producer Emma Thomas are to receive a knighthood and damehood for their services to the movie industry.
Suggested“The film has lost none of its power”: Steven Spielberg’s War Movie is so Legendary Even Christopher Nolan Didn’t Want to Compete With It
Nolan and Thomas have collaborated on all of his major feature films, including The Dark Knight trilogy, 2010’s Inception, 2014’s Interstellar, 2017’s Dunkirk, and 2020’s Tenet. However, Nolan is not the only member of The Dark Knight trilogy to receive this honor from the Royal family.

Three years after the first James Bond film, "Dr. No," a handful of folks who were working on the existing James Bond movies temporarily splintered off to make a completely different kind of spy film. 1965's "The Ipcress File" stars Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, a British secret agent who is much more interested in cooking a high quality meal than skiing off a cliff or dropping quippy one-liners after creatively killing his enemies. There are no scantily clad women, no suggestive double entendres, and no laser beams or gadgets -- in many ways, it's the anti-James Bond movie.
All the more interesting, then, that a handful of key Bond players helped bring this story to the big screen. "The Ipcress File" was scored by John Barry, who was responsible for that iconic James Bond theme song and composed the score for several early Bond pictures, including "Goldfinger" (coincidentally, Michael...

Cillian Murphy’s Oscars win was special on many grounds, primarily his first Christopher Nolan film as a lead in their sixth collaboration. Oppenheimer is a remarkable film, and Nolan’s vision added to the aesthetic grandness of the biopic, turning it into a cinematic masterpiece.

John Wick has been one of the most iconic action franchises in all of Hollywood. Keanu Reeves’s portrayal of the titular character was incredible, to say the least. Not only were the fight sequences captivating, but the world that the story built and the dynamics were some of the most interesting in the genre.
John Wick
While the series had an excellent run, the main story of Wick finished with the fourth part, which ended with Reeves’s character passing. It is only natural that fans cannot let this be the end of his character when the series is still going on. Recently, a fan-made trailer was released online for a hypothetical John Wick 5 and the concept is quite interesting.

With Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy marked their sixth collaboration. Celebrating the biggest movie of Murphy’s career as a lead, the movie secured 13 Oscar nods. However, there is still a void in their collaboration and Murphy has not shied away from pouting about it.

Fans may believe that the unavoidable bond between Murphy and Nolan has been the longest and everlasting, of course, it is but the Irish actor still has a complaint. Murphy was opted out of the cast of one of Nolan’s sci-fi epics that redefined the space narrative and is considered one of the best since Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Daniel Craig is an unquestionably charismatic actor, demonstrating remarkable acting prowess since his career’s inception with Casino Royale. His James Bond movies, in particular, have achieved widespread success, with Craig leaving an indelible mark on the franchise. He redefined James Bond with his charming and charismatic action sequences and performances. With him out of the picture now, it appears Michael Caine has one specific Marvel star in mind to portray James Bond.
Casino Royale
Daniel Craig starred in five films as part of the James Bond franchise over the years. Beginning with Casino Royale in 2006, he continued with Quantum of Solace in 2008, followed by Skyfall in 2012, Spectre in 2015, and concluding his run with No Time to Die in 2021.

Christopher Nolan’s latest awards contender Oppenheimer markets itself as the director’s sixth collaboration with actor Cillian Murphy. But notably missing from the A-list ensemble is Nolan’s most frequent star and popcorn movie muse, Michael Caine. Accepting a career honor recently, Nolan fondly recalled Caine jokingly “breaking up” with him over not casting the actor in his biopic of the atomic bomb’s creator. It seems after eight iconic joint projects spanning nearly 20 years, Caine is ready to end their shared run unless Nolan can coax him back.

Since the duo had worked together for several years, Michael Caine joked that he would not like to work in Oppenheimer and would like to sit this one out. In response, Christopher Nolan stated that he needed 7 different actors as replacements for Michael Caine’s absence in Oppenheimer!

“Oppenheimer” was notably marketed in the press as the sixth collaboration between director Christopher Nolan and star Cillian Murphy, who was finally getting his chance to lead a Nolan movie after five supporting turns in films such as “Batman Begins” and “Dunkirk.” Nolan has another longtime collaborator in Michael Caine, who got a special shoutout when the filmmaker accepted the BFI Fellowship this week at the British Film Institute chairman’s dinner (via The Independent).
Nolan, who many awards pundits agree is the BAFTA and Oscar frontrunner for best director and best picture thanks to “Oppenheimer,” remembered Caine joking to him about not being able to star in the atomic bomb epic.
”Okay, enough is enough,” Caine told his frequent collaborator.
“I had to go off on my own,” Nolan said about his reaction to Caine sitting “Oppenheimer” out. “So, okay, I haven’t got Michael Caine, I’d better get Matt Damon,...

Classic 1970s television series Kung Fu is heading to the big screen, and Donnie Yen will star – more here.
A feature film based on the classic 1970s TV series Kung Fu has been in development for some time, and now it seems to be moving forward at Universal Pictures and 87North.
According to Deadline, John Wick director David Leitch will helm the film from a screenplay by Stephen Chin, with Ip Man star Donnie Yen set to play Kwai Chang Caine, a role first inhabited by David Carradine.
Martial arts icon Bruce Lee famously auditioned for the lead role in the original 1972 series, but lost out, of course, to Carradine. He played Caine, a spiritual monk who roams the Old West in the 1800s, wandering into confrontations and fist fights every week. The show proved popular, with phrases like ‘grasshopper’ making their way into the cultural lexicon.

With a film based on one cult TV series on the way, it appears that David Leitch is not done digging into nostalgia for movies. He and his 87North production partners are now developing a film based on 1970s series Kung Fu, with Donnie Yen lined up to star.
Stephen Chin has written the script for the new film, which will put a new spin on the show. Created by Ed Spielman, the original series ran between 1972 and 1975 on ABC and starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a master martial artist who fled China after his master was murdered.
He wandered the Old West helping the downtrodden and weathering rampant racism while eluding assassins trying to kill him. He was a peaceful man until provoked, which happened at least once an episode.

David Leitch’s 87North is getting ready to reboot the classic martial arts/ western series Kung Fu, and it looks like they’ve found their Caine: the one and only Donnie Yen. The press release doesn’t reveal if Yen is actually playing Caine, but it seems like a no-brainer. The series was infamously developed by Bruce Lee as a starring vehicle for himself, only for the role to be eventually cast with David Carradine in the lead. In the end, it worked out fine, with Bruce Lee gaining immortality with his kung-fu movies for Golden Harvest in Hong Kong (which would have never happened had he been tied to a series), while Carradine became iconic as the enigmatic Caine.

Sarah Rice, who performed the pivotal role of the endangered Johanna in the original Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, died Saturday of cancer. She was 68.
Her death was announced in an Instagram post by her friend and fellow performer Rebecca Caine, who remembered Rice for her love of animals. “May you be greeted by every animal you ever loved on the other side and may green finch and linnet birds sing you to your rest,” wrote Caine, referring to the Sweeney number “Green Finch & Linnet Bird” performed by the Johanna character.
Rice, whose Sweeney role in 1979 was her first and only Broadway performance, revisited her signature song just two years ago at the Sondheim Unplugged concert staged at New York’s 54 Below.

While we were all sad to hear that Michael Caine is retired, he most certainly earned the right to just kick back and just spend his days reading…or writing. And that’s just what Michael Caine has done, releasing his first novel at the age of 90.
Michael Caine’s thriller, Deadly Game, finds career criminal catcher Dci agent Harry Taylor tracking down a mysterious box of uranium and various nefarious types who might be tied to the contents. While I haven’t read the book in its entirety, the first few pages – and the plot itself – give off the sort of vibe of the movies that Michael Caine would have starred in in the ‘60s and ‘70s.

"John Wick" is the little action franchise that could. The series has become so huge and operatic that it's easy to forget that at one point, no one seemed very interested. When it came to the first film, producers struggled to find theatrical distributors, and star Keanu Reeves was coming off a stirring of box office disappointments. There was talk of sending the first film to VOD, where it might die an ignoble death. And then Lionsgate swooped in to distribute the flick theatrically, and everything changed. While the first film was not a box office smash, it was a hit.
Beyond that, though, it garnered a passionate fanbase wowed by both the killer action scenes and the world-building. Things would only go up from there, with each subsequent sequel growing larger and expanding the mythology further, while also helping turn Keanu Reeves into a superstar again. In the series,...

And so, another year is in the books, with 2023, the year of Barbenheimer now ending. It was a dramatic one for entertainment, with shelved movies, surprising hits and misses and dual strikes that brought the industry to a standstill for months. Nevertheless, there were plenty of great films, so here’s JoBlo’s official top 10 for the year. Before we start, there are a few honourable mentions to get out of the way. Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One was a surprising box office disappointment, to the extent that the next film is set to drop Dead Reckoning from the title, but it was still an expertly assembled action film with some of the best stuntwork and style of the year. I also thoroughly enjoyed Creed III and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, with both just falling a tad short of making my top 10. At the same time, other films like Bradley Cooper’s Maestro,...

I Come in Peace… You Go in Pieces!
So goes one of the coolest one-liners I have ever heard, and it’s part of one of the most unheralded Christmas action movies ever. Now, Christmas action movies have always been a thing. Something about the juxtaposition of the holidays and ultra-violent action has always been irresistible to Hollywood. In movies like First Blood and To Live and Die in LA, the holiday theme makes the desperately violent scenario all the more grim. At the same time, other classics like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard ultimately have Christmas messages about friendship and family that come through just as strongly as in a straight-up Christmas movie like It’s a Wonderful Life.
Yet, not every Christmas action flick becomes a classic, which brings me to this special Christmas edition of The Best Movie You Never Saw, where we tackle the Dolph Lundgren Actioner I Come In Peace,...

John Wick: Chapter 4 became the entry that solidified the franchise as a big moneymaker. And although the ending had left the future open for possible sequels, Keanu Reeves has not been secretive about how much harder it is to keep up with the action and begged for a definite ending for the character. However, despite several spin-offs being released, the studio now smells the money and wants to immediately develop a direct follow-up to Chapter 4 with Reeves in tow. People keep asking if he’s back, and he hasn’t really had an answer, but yeah, the studio is thinking he’s back.
ScreenRant has reported that Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake has stated at a recent earnings call, courtesy of ComicBook.com, that the studio is now including a Chapter 5 in the development of future franchise content. Drake has said, “On the Wick side we got multiple spin-offs and a Wick Five.

"...when a 'US Naval Captain' shows signs of mental instability that jeopardizes the safety of his ship, the first officer relieves him of command and faces court-martial for mutiny.
"'Greenwald', a skeptic lawyer, reluctantly defends 'Maryk', an officer of the navy who took control of the vessel from its dominant 'Captain Queeg' while caught in a violent sea storm.
"Greenwald becomes increasingly concerned as the court martial proceeds and questions if the 'Caine' was a true mutiny or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors that could not trust their unstable leader..."

Copland was supposed to be Sylvester Stallone’s comeback movie. Despite earning decent box office and generating Sly’s best reviews in decades, it seemed to be the final nail in his coffin as a leading man, and I don’t understand why. Before Copland, Stallone was headlining huge action movies like Daylight and Judge Dredd, and while they underperformed domestically and overseas, they were still big. One would think that Stallone would have been given an old-school action film to revive his career, but all of a sudden, he was slotted into cheap movies, such as the slasher thriller D-tox, which is also called Eye See You. That movie was so bad that it went direct-to-video, which pretty much meant the end of Stallone’s career for half a dozen years until he managed a major comeback with Rocky Balboa. It would get pretty dire for Sly, but Warner Bros...

While it didn’t hit North American shores until a year later, Japanese gamers got their taste of 16-bit power at home with the Sega Mega Drive on this day back in 1988. Once it did arrive in North America, thanks in part to Sega of America’s marketing campaign, and its decision to cater towards a more mature and “cool” audience over Nintendo’s kid friendly approach, the Mega Drive/Genesis for a time had the upper hand in the “console wars” of the 90s. The results of Sega’s efforts? In addition to having superior sports games compared to the Snes, Mega Drive/Genesis fans received their fair share of horror games, which weren’t bound by Nintendo’s often draconian code of censorship.
So, much like with the Snes, here’s a sampling of some of those genre titles that Sega fans can dive into for a trip...

Director William Friedkin‘s 2023 legal drama The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is a remake of Herman Wouk‘s 1952 The Caine Mutiny novel and his 1953 play.

The movie follows the court-martial of Lieutenant Maryk, who is charged with mutiny for relieving his commanding officer, Lt. Commander Queeg, as Captain of the Caine vessel.

In a recent interview with BBC Radio 4 Today, acting legend Sir Michael Caine discussed his upcoming film, "The Great Escaper," along with some shocking (or not) news: it will also be his last film.
As Caine tells it, he already considered himself retired when he received the script and turned it down three times. Reading it eventually won him over. Caine fell so "in love" with the script that he decided it would be a good high note to end his 70+ year career on. Caine said:
"I kept saying I'm gonna retire. Well, I am now because I figured, I've had a picture where I've played the lead, and it's got incredible reviews. The only parts I'm likely to get now are old men, 90-year-old men — well, maybe 85, you know? And I thought, 'Well, I might as well leave with all this. I've got wonderful reviews. What am I gonna do to beat this?...

Sir Michael Caine has announced that he has officially retired from acting, and that his latest film, The Great Escaper, is his last… and, this time, he means it. “I keep saying I’m going to retire,” the 90-year-old said. “Well, I am now.”
The announcement arrives via a new interview with BBC Radio 4, which aired just a week after the debut of The Great Escaper itself. The film stars Caine as Bernard Jordan, a real-life World War II veteran who “escaped” from his nursing home in 2014 to attend the 70th anniversary of D-Day in France. After hitting theaters in the UK on October 6th, Caine’s performance has been praised… which, according to him, impacted his decision to finally ride off into the sunset.
“The only parts I’m liable to get now are 90-year-old men. Or maybe 85,” he joked, before explaining: “I’ve figured, I’ve had...

Michael Caine’s part in the upcoming World War II drama “The Great Escaper” is the largest role that the 90-year-old actor has taken on in years — and he was never shy about the fact that it could be his last.

Sir Michael Caine has confirmed he is officially retiring from acting.
The Oscar-winning actor made an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Today talk show to discuss his upcoming and now-final film, The Great Escaper. The Warner Bros. movie is based on the true story of World War II veteran Bernard (Bernie) Johnson, who, in the summer of 2014, snuck out of his nursing home to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France.
“Funny enough, I’d retired when I was sent the script, and I turned it down three times, but I kept falling in love with him every time I read it, and so I did it,” Caine said on the radio show of William Ivory’s script. The film is directed by Oliver Parker and co-stars the late Glenda Jackson.

Michael Fassbender had his sights set on fully embodying an anxious serial killer, according to “The Killer” cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt.
Messerschmidt, who has worked with director David Fincher on “Mindhunter” and “Mank,” told Empire Magazine (via IGN) that Fassbender is the “perfect actor” for the “Seven” auteur — and said the actor didn’t blink while on camera.
“The focus puller highlighted something remarkable: the actor didn’t blink on camera for the entire shoot,” Messerschmidt said of Fassbender, who portrays an assassin who has a psychological crisis.
Director Fincher added, “Michael’s eyes betray a lot. He can hold a lot of conflicting things in his mind and his eyes allow you access to it.”
He continued, “I thought the character’s nihilism was interesting because it was tied to his self-loathing. Then I started thinking about this inner monologue. He has this whole thing he tells himself, which is...

Hollywood star Michael Caine says he was familiar with “every mafia guy in Las Vegas” at the height of his fame and he tells how. The star, who turned 90 in March and who famously portrayed a London gangster in ‘Get Carter’, said he got close to mobsters after taking a trip to Sin City with Frank Sinatra, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I’ll tell you who liked a laugh – Frank Sinatra. He was very nice, he became my friend, and he loved to laugh. But he never did many things that made you laugh. He was very tough. He took me to Las Vegas on his private plane, and then I knew every mafia guy in Las Vegas. I had dinner with them all,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
Caine first met Sinatra when the actor went to Hollywood in the mid-1960s, where he said he was amazed to be mixing with stars he idolised.

Veteran star Michael Caine believes every man should be forced to do National Service and hates “wokery.” The 90-year-old was 12 when World War Two ended and was called up to the army when he was 18 and sent to occupied Berlin – before he was sent to fight in Korea a year later, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I think every young man should be made to do it. It truly makes a man of you,” he told the Daily Mail’s You magazine.
But Caine said he soon fell in love with the money he could make from acting when he came out of service. He added: “I only became an actor after I left the army… I got a movie and was like, ‘F*** this! I love films more. I liked the money and all.”
Caine’s latest film is ‘The Great Escaper’, in which he plays real-life World War Two veteran Bernard Jordan.
