With much anticipation, Top Gun: Maverick triumphantly returned as one of the biggest box office hits of 2022, and the receipts were positively astounding. The film, which was nominated for six Oscars, had some incredible aerial action, but not all of it was in the skies. Did you know that at the request of Cruise, a particularly stirring scene featuring Jennifer Connelly was reshot?
Connelly recently unveiled the cinematic alchemy that turned a potentially tedious moment into a standout scene under the fastidious eye of Cruise. It is not every day that the latter describes a scene as “boring”, but that is exactly what happened during the filming of this eagerly anticipated sequel to the 1986 hit, Top Gun.

Despite Taylor Sheridan’s many faults, his creation of the Paramount flagship series, Yellowstone, has been one of the exceptions during this era of creative block in Hollywood. With a never-ending, expansive, beautiful, and mostly forgotten landscape of Montana serving as the backdrop, a story builds in the cradle of the valley as opposing factions vie for power and control through violence.

With the Broken Rock Indian Reservation serving as the mouthpiece and physical manifestation of the Native American community, Taylor Sheridan crafts a hauntingly tragic tale that cuts through the politeness and exposes the subversion of the community.

“Hit Man” director Richard Linklater knew Glen Powell was a movie star the moment the young actor, with no profile, walked in to audition for “Everybody Wants Some” almost a decade ago. Linklater explained what makes the Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio movie stars go beyond their good looks and acting ability, but their charisma and how we are drawn to them.
“You look at Brad Pitt, ‘Oh, I want to hang out with him,’” said Linklater. “They attract you, you’ll follow them somewhere. You want to be wherever, whatever they’re doing. Some personalities have that quality, most don’t… Glen does.”
Linklater would need every ounce of Powell’s star power to pull off “Hit Man,” a sexy screwball comedy in which the audience is rooting for Madison (Adria Arjona) and Powell’s Ron to be together, but who do some questionable things to get their happy ending.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been an A-list talk of the town ever since he starred in 1996’s Romeo + Juliet. He has only grown in his craft, morphing from a romance actor to one of the greatest talents to have ever existed in Hollywood. While such attention has always been beneficial for his career, it would seem that there was one instance where he seriously backfired.

Even before the awards ceremony began, as talent started filing into the Citizen News venue in the heart of Hollywood, it was a marvel to see “Palm Royale” star and Vanguard Award recipient Carol Burnett hold court as fellow honorees like “Under the Bridge” producer/star Riley Keough, recipient of the Maverick Award, and “Abbott Elementary” creator/star Quinta Brunson, recipient of the Visionary Award (and whom Burnett presented an Emmy to in January), came to greet the comedy legend.

Several actors from Leonardo DiCaprio to Yellowstone‘s Wes Bentley were considered for the role, but Raimi was impressed with Maguire’s performance in The Cider House Rules. The studio didn’t think Maguire was the adrenaline-pumping superhero for the film, but The Great Gatsby actor proved them wrong.

Forrest Gump, helmed by Robert Zemeckis, became an instant hit in 1994, even though Hollywood insiders had doubts about its chances of success. The endearing portrayal of Forrest by Tom Hanks will commemorate its 30th anniversary next month.
Imagine if you had the flu and had to endure the demanding schedule of a movie set. That’s precisely the grit Hanks displayed, once sharing an intimate behind-the-scenes anecdote about how he soldiered through iconic scenes with sickness. Despite struggling with flu, the acclaimed actor, 67, remained true to his enigmatic character & his admirable professional motto, “show up, and be on time”.

Actress Kate Winslet is synonymous with the character of Rose from James Cameron’s disaster epic Titanic. The film saw her paired up with Leonardo DiCaprio in the doomed romance set aboard the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic in 1912. The film garnered her a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars and the film was the highest-grossing movie of all time then.
Despite earning billions, Titanic remains one of the many in Winslet’s amazing filmography. Though she is best known for her role in Cameron’s film, she has delivered far superior and mature performances since the big blockbuster. Here are three performances from Kate Winslet’s extensive filmography that are far better than Titanic.

In the late 1980s/early 1990s, Avatar, Aliens, and The Terminator director James Cameron had ambitious plans for a live-action Spider-Man movie.
After writing the screenplay with Barry Cohen and Ted Newson, he'd have directed the movie. While we've heard about many possible casting ideas the filmmaker had, Leonardo DiCaprio was expected to play Peter Parker.
It's one of those movies fans will likely always wonder about; instead, Sam Raimi helmed 2002's Spider-Man, with Tobey Maguire playing the web-slinger and a tone more in line with Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's comics instead of the R-Rated adventure Cameron likely had planned.
Electro and Sandman were expected to be Cameron's villains, though a quote attributed to the director at Cinematheque Francaise in Paris confirms he also had plans for Venom.
"And then there's Spider-Man, the greatest movie I never made," he said. "Because my version of the project didn't get off the ground,...

"And then there's Spider-Man, the greatest movie I never made," he said. "Because my version of the project didn't get off the ground,...

The director shot to fame as a writer, creating the Lethal Weapon franchise and also writing the Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer Last Action Hero.

One of Black’s most expensive sales was the screenplay of the Samuel L. Jackson starrer The Long Kiss Goodnight. The film also starred Geena Davis and Brian Cox and the screenplay reportedly sold for $4 million at the time. However, the failure of the film at the box office reportedly made Shane Black a Hollywood pariah.

Martin Scorsese is one of the few industry vets who has been around for several decades hitting the audience with brilliant movies and sweeping all the prestigious awards, so his praise is nothing but a real golden ticket to overall success in Hollywood.
Though the proclaimed filmmaker is mostly known for his numerous collaborations with the modern cinema’s giants like Robert De Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio, there’s yet another big figure who actually owes her skyrocketed career to Scorsese’s high-rated big hit.
Ironically, her debut fierce improvisation is what mesmerizes Scorsese to this day.
In one of his interviews a few days ago, Scorsese revealed that he’d been left in shock by Margot Robbie’s improvised performance for The Wolf of Wall Street’s audition. In the movie released back in 2013, Robbie, at that time a very young, yet aspiring actress, starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as his on-screen wife Naomi Lapaglia,...

Have you ever been so moved by the impact of the power of cinematic stories that you ended up crying and thinking about the intricate details of a plot long after the film ends? Leonardo DiCaprio’s scene from Inception, the masterpiece by Christopher Nolan, does exactly that, encapsulating an emotional resonance that can still leave many of us affected.
A quick recall: After spending so many years in exile overseas, veteran dream thief Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) finally came clean of murder charges. To make sure he is not still dreaming, Cobb chose to give his totem one last spin as he entered his house.

But as soon as our hero saw the expressions on his children’s faces, he forgot everything and rushed to embrace them. The camera then momentarily lingered on the spinning top, bringing us back to reality.

While Oppenheimer was Christopher Nolan’s first biographical drama to hit the big screens, this wasn’t the Oscar-winner’s first time penning a script surrounding a real-life figure. Before changing the superhero landscape with The Dark Knight, the director had plans to make a biopic about the American aerospace engineer Howard Hughes, for which he even wrote a script.
But as the story goes, Nolan’s passion project never materialized as before the director could make his pitch, Martin Scorsese was already working on Hughes’ biopic, The Aviator. However, it wasn’t all in vain for Nolan, as his experience working on the script for his Howard Hughes biopic came in handy while penning Oppenheimer.

There is a notorious movie principle that says every element of the plot must be there for a reason, while the details that are unnecessary to the plot should be removed. Some films follow this rule in a way they put some hidden easter eggs to call on them in the most important scene to the audience’s excitement.
Here are 5 movies where Chekhov’s guns shot us right in the heart.
1. Shaun of the Dead (2004) - The Gun
Edgar Wright’s zombie comedy is probably the best example of using this technique. Here Chekhov’s gun appears to be a real gun that is hanging on the wall of a local bar. It is introduced in the movie’s beginning and is of much help to the main characters in the climax, as they are trapped in the bar and surrounded by the army of zombies.
