Vince Vaughn's crime dark comedy Bad Monkey is adding an Oscar-nominated actor to its cast for season 2. Bad Monkey focuses on Vince Vaughn's Andrew Yancy, a former Miami detective turned health inspector who takes it upon himself to investigate a grisly discovery. Bad Monkey season 2 is set to begin filming this fall.

Thanks to the show's story lifted from Carl Hiaasen's novel of the same name, Bad Monkey has gotten great reviews. The series' cast is also a clear highlight, with Vaughn's performance especially lauded. Bad Monkey's cast will soon become even better now that an acclaimed actor is joining the series.

John Malkovich may have been cut from Fantastic Four: First Stepsafter being cast as the Red Ghost, master of the Super-Apes, but he's about to have an encounter with a Bad Monkey instead. The two-time Oscar nominee is joining the second season of the hit AppleTV+ crime comedy. He'll menace Vince Vaughn's Andrew Yancy, a cop-turned-health-inspector, as a Floridian crime lord.

According to reports, Malkovich will star as Spencer, the head of a major South Florida criminal organization, in the show's second season. The first season was based on the 2013 Carl Hiaasen novel of the same name; while that novel got a sequel in 2016, Razor Girl, which sees...

John Malkovich has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s “Prodigies.”

Malkovich will guest star in the upcoming romantic comedy series, which stars Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri as two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children. Malkovich reunites with Edebiri after the pair starred in A24’s “Opus,” where Malkovich played ’90s pop superstar Alfred Moretti and Edebiri played journalist Ariel Ecton.

In addition to Sharpe and Edebiri, Malkovich joins “Prodigies” cast members Andrene Ward-Hammond, Yumi Asō, Tobias Menzies, Rina Sawayama, Sophia Di Martino, Reece Shearsmith, Nabhaan Rizwan, Meera Syal and Lolly Adefope.

Billed as an unusual take on a classic romantic comedy, “Prodigies” follows Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe) in their early 30s as they start to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood, and, inevitably, they find themselves asking the same questions of their relationship,...

Long before Clint Eastwood became the legendary gunslinger of American cinema, his off-screen life was already marked by passionate turns. His private life was already filled with complex relationships, including a 14-year-long affair with stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis. It began in the early 1960s during the rocky start of his marriage to Maggie Johnson and led to the birth of their daughter in 1964, though the public has been unaware for years.

The source shared (reported on Radar Online):

Roxanne was one of Clint’s true loves. He maintained a healthy relationship with Roxanne until the end, and is devastated by the loss and for his daughter Kimber.

Eastwood also discreetly fathered two children with former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves. Let’s take a closer look at the many women who walked through Clint Eastwood’s life.

One must be wary of the rating systems on IMDb. As one can see from the website's list of the 250 highest-rated movies (which is selected by its users), IMDb tends to favor ultra-masculine stories centering on criminals, cops, or soldiers. The top-rated film on its list is Frank Darabont's "The Shawshank Redemption," a 1994 drama about prisoners. Next is Francis Ford Coppola's mafia epic "The Godfather," followed by Christopher Nolan's superhero flick "The Dark Knight." Also hovering near the top are films like "Fight Club," "The Matrix," "12 Angry Men," "Pulp Fiction," and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." These are all excellent films, mind you, but when clustered together, they reveal something about the taste of the average IMDb user: Crime, violence, and male protagonists all seem to rule the roost. In short, the list is very basic.

To be fair, though, when taken individually, many...

In between looking after the well-being of the nation and forging strong relationships overseas, the President of the United States sometimes finds a few spare hours to catch a flick. Luckily, they don't need to catch a motorcade down to the local multiplex and queue up like the rest of us. Instead, there is a small movie theater in the East Wing of White House where the President can enjoy a movie with his family and guests. Harry Truman was a fan of "My Darling Clementine" while John F. Kennedy preferred the adventures of James Bond in "Dr. No." More recently, Bill Clinton loved "High Noon" so much that he screened the classic Western 20 times during his residency at the White House. He also had some very positive things to say about another more contemporary movie directly related to his day job: Wolfgang Petersen's "In the Line of Fire.

If you're Clint Eastwood and you're thinking of leaving the action genre after decades of being one of the most recognizable and celebrated movie heroes of all time, you better make sure you go out with a bang. Luckily, Eastwood's last action movie role has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, in fairness, the famed actor would go on to star in movies that had their share of action, but 1993's "In the Line of Fire" felt like the last fully-fledged Clint Eastwood actioner, and it's a doozy.

After winning Best Picture and Best Director at the 1993 Oscars for "Unforgiven," Eastwood returned to the director's chair with "A Perfect World," his highly anticipated directorial follow-up to "Unforgiven" which debuted in November that same year. The Kevin Costner-led crime drama was yet another critical hit for Eastwood, but it wasn't quite the box office success that "In the Line of Fire,...

It's not easy to make a name for yourself in the world of film and television, especially when everyone else is trying to do the same thing. Some talent, whether they be actors, writers, or filmmakers, get lucky in their first few projects, while others won't get to see the fruits of their industry labor until much further down the line. Clint Eastwood technically made his big screen debut in 1955 in an uncredited role in "Revenge of the Creature," yet kept finding himself in bit parts over the next few years. Even "Rawhide," the television western career gig that got his foot in the door, would take up seven and a half years of his life on CBS. But not only would the experience of starring in those eight seasons serve as a testing ground as for his directorial sensibilities, it would also prompt him to travel to Spain, where...

If you feel like watching a political thriller this Independence Day, Pluto TV has you covered — and they'll even let you stream it for free. In the Line of Fire, the critically acclaimed 1993 movie starring Clint Eastwood as a Secret Service agent and John Malkovich as a would-be presidential assassin, is coming to the Fast streamer starting on July 1.

The movie was the brainchild of producer Jeff Apple (The Recruit), who was inspired by a childhood memory of seeing Lyndon Johnson surrounded by Secret Service agents. Apple commissioned writer Jeff Maguire (Escape to Victory) to pen the script, which was eventually directed by Das Boot's Wolfgang Petersen, who would tackle Presidential action again a few years later in Air Force One. The movie was one of the first to use digital effects: footage of Eastwood from the 1960s was digitized and inserted into old news footage to depict his character's early career.

One of our go-to free streaming options, Pluto TV, is getting into the summer spirit with a lineup that’s hard to beat. July is shaping up to be a big month, loaded with fan-favorite blockbusters, feel-good summer flicks, and a special birthday celebration that’s sure to put a smile on your face.

Rick Hurst, who portrayed the good-hearted Deputy Cletus Hogg on the long-running CBS action comedy The Dukes of Hazzard, died Thursday. He was 79.

Hurst’s death was announced by the Cooter’s Place museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. He had just canceled a scheduled July 3-7 appearance there.

“To fans, he was more than a character — he was family,” reads a Dukes of Hazzard post on Instagram. “His gentle smile, impeccable comedic timing and kind-hearted spirit made every scene brighter.

“Offscreen, Rick was known for his generosity, humility and love for connecting with fans at events across the country. Whether it was a reunion special or a meet-and-greet at Cooter’s, he never stopped sharing his joy with the people who adored him.”

Before his most famous role, Hurst played a prisoner named Cleaver alongside Tom Poston and Hal Williams on the 1975-76 ABC sitcom On the Rocks, which revolved...

It’s been two decades since Brokeback Mountain first hit our screens, breaking hearts and barriers across the global box office. But sadly, despite being such a hit and winning most best film prizes of the awards season, the film shockingly lost the Academy Award in 2006, to Crash. Well, thanks to co-writer Diana Ossana’s recent revelation, we finally have a clearer picture of when and why its Best Picture hopes slipped away.

On the film’s 20th anniversary, Diana Ossana recalled a gut-punch moment that made her realize the odds had turned. It happened at a party for Oscar nominees, when she learned Clint Eastwood hadn’t even seen Brokeback Mountain before voting ended. For Ossana, the answer was clear: homophobia. Despite packed theaters and audiences leaving in tears, Ossana realized that the film lost because of the biases that lingered beneath the surface of the industry

While the world was excited (but not surprised) when a publication claimed that Clint Eastwood was working on a new movie at the age of 95, it turns out that the news is fake. A statement from Eastwood himself says that he never gave an interview to the Austrian publication Kurier, which published the apparent interview with the veteran star.

Eastwood recently turned 95 on May 31 and released his apparently last film as director in 2024, Juror #2. The legal drama had a lot of controversy due to Warner Bros’ limited release of the movie, resulting in a less-than-stellar box office performance. The allegedly false interview claimed that Eastwood was against the current trend of sequels and remakes.

Clint Eastwood’s final pure action hero performance, In the Line of Fire (1993), is a critically acclaimed thriller that grossed approximately $187 million worldwide. In this film, Eastwood portrays Frank Horrigan, a seasoned Secret Service agent haunted by his failure to prevent President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

While Clint Eastwood went on to star in and direct many acclaimed films, In the Line of Fire was the last movie where he portrayed a traditional action hero and was involved in gunfights, chases, and one-on-one confrontations. What made In the Line of Fire stand out wasn’t just its box office success or its high-stakes narrative, but the way it captured Eastwood’s aging hero persona with sincerity and suspense.

1993 was Clint Eastwood's victory lap year. After winning the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for "Unforgiven" in March, he would be the toast of Hollywood as he promoted two very different movies: "In the Line of Fire" and "A Perfect World." The latter was the most eagerly anticipated of the two, if only because it would mark his directorial follow-up to "Unforgiven," as well as pair him onscreen with 1990's Best Director winner Kevin Costner.

"In the Line of Fire" was not, on the surface, an odd movie. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the celebrated German director of "Das Boot," it was an action-thriller with an irresistible hook. Eastwood had been cast as Frank Horrigan, a long-in-the-tooth Secret Service Agent who finds himself being targeted by a psychopath who plans to kill the President of the United States. Horrigan is no longer on protective detail, and this is for...

Gary Jensen, a stunt coordinator who collaborated with Bryan Singer on The Usual Suspects and the first two X-Men films and with Kevin Smith on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and four other movies, has died. He was 74.

Jensen recently spent two months in the hospital for back surgery and died April 11 at his home in Acton, California, his daughter-in-law Laura Jensen told The Hollywood Reporter.

He did stunts on films including Tron (1982), The Beastmaster (1982), Independence Day (1983), Hoosiers (1986), Peacemaker (1990), The Rookie (1990), In the Line of Fire (1993) and Due Date (2010).

Jensen also worked with Singer on Apt Pupil (1998) and with Smith on Dogma (1999), Clerks II (2006), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) and Red State (2011), and he was a coordinator on 14 Perry Mason telefilms at NBC from 1989-94.

Born in San Francisco on Dec. 11, 1950, Gary Peter Jensen graduated from Chico High School in 1969, where his 100-yard dash record still stands,...

There aren’t many things that Clint Eastwood cannot do. ‘The Man with No Name’ could shoot the rope flawlessly multiple times to save Tuco. ‘Harry Callahan,’ on the other hand, once hijacked a school bus in something as stifling as a suit and tie combo. Yet, when The Bridges of Madison County premiered in 1995, few expected cinema’s ultimate tough guy to break character and become its most surprising romantic hero.

Well, Eastwood’s emotional range in the movie would do much more than just stun the critics post-release. It was a risk that paid off with a global box office of $182 million against a $22 million budget, plus an Oscar nomination for his co-star Meryl Streep. But what’s even more surprising? According to Streep, The Bridges of Madison County made Steven Spielberg weep “for 40 minutes” straight. Now, that’s no ordinary feat.

A weepy romance in Iowa… made by Dirty Harry?...

Has there ever been a more iconic big-screen presence than Clint Eastwood? I’d be hard-pressed to name one, as while others like Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, and maybe Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne – if you go old school – can compare, there’s a lot more to Eastwood than anyone else. How so? Well, while most of his contemporaries were happy just to act in their films, Eastwood became the auteur of his work, directing many of his post-The Outlaw Josey Wales vehicles. When he opted to semi-retire from screen acting, he was able to carry on as a director, and in fact, despite being well into his nineties, he’s still directing movies, with his recent Juror No 2 being a little gem.

However, when In the Line of Fire was made in 1993, Eastwood was at something of a crossroads in his career. For the thirty years prior, starting...

Robert Snow, a veteran Secret Service agent who served as a technical adviser on films including In the Line of Fire, The American President and Air Force One, died March 22, his family announced. He was 93.

Snow had retired after spending 33 years with the Secret Service when he was called on for his expertise during the making of Wolfgang Petersen’s In the Line of Fire (1993), starring Clint Eastwood as a CIA agent haunted by the JFK assassination.

“In Taxi Driver and other films, we were portrayed as monosyllabic idiots who can’t complete a full sentence and [only] stand on the corners with dark glasses,” Snow told the Chicago Tribune in a 1997 interview. “Until In the Line of Fire, there was nothing to show what the Secret Service really did.”

He worked with Petersen and Eastwood again in the 1997 films Air Force One and Absolute Power, respectively, and on two X-Men movies,...

As a legendary Hollywood superstar, Clint Eastwood has adapted to changes in the film industry for decades. When his 1992 Western masterpiece Unforgiven won the Oscar for Best Picture, the original Man With No Name proved he could successfully transition from movie star to cinematic auteur. His 1993 thriller In the Line of Fire, however, would show Hollywood that he could rival his enduring charisma against the younger action stars of the time.

When a Hollywood actor is big and making lots of movies, it kind of feels like they'll stick around forever. There are plenty who do, but so often a familiar face will enjoy a hot streak before vanishing from the limelight. Back in the '90s we had a number of such actors. Alicia Silverstone, Meg Ryan, and Bridget Fonda all hit their peak during the decade and became household names thanks to their hits. And then they were gone, either suffering from a string of poor choices (Silverstone), taking a break from acting (Ryan), or retiring altogether (Fonda). Another Hollywood star who enjoyed her heyday in the '90s before vacating our multiplexes was Rene Russo. But why exactly did she disappear from Hollywood?

Russo was one of several models who crossed over into acting during the '90s. Some made a big splash in their breakthrough roles, like...

John Malkovich will be starring in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps this summer and recently opened up about why it took him this long to act in one.

In a new interview, Malkovich revealed the real reason he had not appeared in the MCU until now was due to pay.

“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich told GQ. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”

He continued, “These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else.”

A White House set made for just $90,000 ultimately became one of the most ubiquitous backdrops of the 1990s…

Clint Eastwood prowled his cameras around it for the tepid 1997 thriller Absolute Power. Lloyd Bridges stood in the middle of it as ‘Tug’ Benson in Hot Shots! Part Deux. It’s on display in 1990s hits The Pelican Brief and In The Line Of Fire. Yet the $90,000 White House set that was designed by a production designer called J Michael Riva was actually built for a rather sweet comedy: Ivan Reitman’s 1993 hit, Dave.

If you’re unfamiliar with the movie, Dave sees Kevin Kline in the title role, as an everyday man who becomes President of the United States. He uses this office for kindness, doing good, and fighting for the impoverished rather than the ric… okay, I’ll move on. Co-starring Sigourney Weaver, the $28m movie earned over $90m at the box office,...

John Wick is the cinematic action hero of the 2020s. His Hollywood status has reached the levels of McClanefrom Die Hard, Riggs from Lethal Weapon,and the T-800 from The Terminator franchise. John Wick is a legendary hitman, who gives up his violent career in favor of a quiet, ordinary life. In the years since his retirement, he becomes the bogeyman of the criminal underworld, a horror story that bad guys like to tell each other around the campfire. But in the first film, 2014's John Wick, the hitman is thrust out of retirement after his dog is unjustly murdered. He then leads a bloody, vengeful one-made crusade against the Russian gangsters who wronged him.

Screenwriter Derek Kolstad came up with this premise after struggling for years to sell a screenplay. His story was influenced by some of his favorite films, including Die Hard,Predator, and Miller's Crossing. He also found inspiration in revenge films,...

Flight Risk has become the latest Mel Gibson-directed movie to make number one at the box office over the weekend. However, despite taking the top spot, its numbers were very humble at $12 million. For a movie that takes place in a singular location of a plane, that number might sound like a rousing success, but with a budget of $25 million, it has a bit of a way to go to recoup its expenses. In the scaled-down thriller, Mark Wahlberg would make a rare turn as a villain after his career in action movies saw him primarily saw him as the hero. Wahlberg would last play a bad guy in the 1996 thriller Fear.

According to People Magazine, Wahlberg was so determined to get this part right that he later had to apologize to his co-stars for staying in character. The star admitted, “I was locked into the part the whole time.

Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he apologized to his Flight Risk co-stars for being “locked into” his villainous character on set. Wahlberg stars opposite Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace in the pulse-pounding thriller.

Flight Risk's action unfolds as U.S. Marshal Madelyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) accompanies a mob accountant, Winston (Topher Grace), on a flight to testify against his former employers. Harris is forced to protect Winston when they discover their pilot (Mark Wahlberg) is actually an assassin who has been paid to take out the accountant.

A 28-year-old Harrison Ford thriller film that was incredibly popular in the 1990s is reportedly being rebooted. Sony may be developing a new Air Force One movie.

The scoop comes from industry insider Daniel Richtman's page, who has reported: "Sony [is] developing a new Air Force One movie. It's not clear if this is a remake or a sequel." The original Air Force One movie debuted in 1997, with the political thriller movie directed and co-produced by Wolfgang Petersen, whose other films included Das Boot (1981), In the Line of Fire (1993), and The Perfect Storm (2000). The plot of the film follows the aircraft carrying the President of the United States as it is hijacked by a group of terrorists.

The 1990s were some of the best years in movie history, with some of the greatest movies of all time coming out in that decade. Iconic directors like Quentin Tarantino, John Singleton, the Wachowskis, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sofia Coppola, and even Wes Anderson made their directorial debuts in the 90s. Films like The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Toy Story, and Heat all came out in that decade, proving just how incredibly strong it was.

These are just a handful of the films that people instantly recognize and love, with countless more that can be added to the list. It's worth not forgetting the incredible ones that seem to have left the public consciousness, as the 1990s provided some of the greatest movies and movie references that no one seems to talk about anymore. Perhaps they slipped away because they were overshadowed by the director's other films, or the lead...

Clint Eastwood has technically been one of the most in-demand movie stars of the last 60 years -- "technically" because, throughout that long time span, he slowly ceased working with other directors. Starting in 1980, Eastwood almost exclusively made movies through his Malpaso Company shingle at Warner Bros., and that tendency functioned like a flashing "do not inquire" sign. Obviously, if filmmakers had any sense that Eastwood was on the market as an actor, a considerable number would've at least passed along a screenplay to gauge interest. But he seemed content to generate his own material and direct it himself.

It's intriguing to consider who would've had the best shot at getting Eastwood to take a break from the Malpaso ranch (I bet Tony Scott could've nabbed him in the 1990s), but the better question is who would Eastwood have worked with if he felt like being directed for a change. The...

The world of politics has long served as the basis for some of Hollywood's best films, from All the President's Men to JFK. Whether based on true stories of fictional events, these films can offer audiences a window into the world of government, tackling topics like corruption and war. Typically focusing on politicians, government agents and reporters, these films show how even the smallest of characters can make a big difference and challenge the highest rungs of power.

Political thrillers can cover anything from presidential assassinations to investigations into scandals, exploring the best and worst of government. The world of politics is practically defined by conflict, so making a thriller out of the genre often comes naturally, and appeals to fans of all ideologies. Ranging from conspiracies to the true stories behind key events in world history, these movies remain some of the most compelling of the genre.

The Sentinel...

On Sunday, October 27, 2024, Clint Eastwood will premiere his fortieth feature directorial effort, "Juror #2," at the American Film Institute Festival. This feels like a landmark number. It's certainly a landmark achievement, given that Eastwood is 94 years old, an age at which most people are interred. So it's frankly despicable that Warner Bros-Discovery, headed by noted enemy of cinema David Zaslav, has chosen to unceremoniously dump "Juror #2" on 50 screens over its opening weekend, with no plans for expansion or an awards campaign.

While it's possible the film is not, in the eyes of its studio, an awards contender, it has a commercially viable hook (as evidenced by its compelling trailer) and a killer cast headed up by Nicholas Hoult. Moreover, it's a film by Clint Eastwood, a man whose films have earned WB loads of money over the last 50-plus years. He's had an office on the lot for nearly as long,...

There are three movies that Clint Eastwood considers to be his biggest career risks, but only one paid off at the box office. Despite the stardom Eastwood achieved as the "Man with No Name" in Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy, it still took a few years for him to break through in America. The movie that truly cemented him was Dirty Harry, a controversial 1971 thriller that nonetheless was a gigantic success, and led to one of the few Clint Eastwood movie franchises.

Eastwood's screen persona quickly became that of the stoic man of action who said little - but always had a dry quip ready when required. From the 1970s through to the 1990s, most of his biggest hits came in the thriller or action genres, from The Gauntlet right on down to In the Line of Fire. That's not to say he didn't take any chances as a performer though,...

Since his rise to stardom in the 1960s, Clint Eastwood has been one of the most successful actors -- and directors -- in Hollywood, thanks to movies like A Fistful of Dollars and Unforgiven. While best associated with the Western genre, the icon has played a variety of roles across almost every genre, from comedy and action to thriller and musical. Although some of his characters were forgettable, others are among the most interesting and compelling of their respective genres.

Clint Eastwood has been seen by many of his fans, as well as the film industry overall, as a symbol of American masculinity, adopting a variety of rugged and gruff personas. From gunfighters and detectives to soldiers and criminals, the actor has headlined some of the best movies of all time. Some of these characters are notably better written and more entertaining than others, with some representing the tone of his overall career.

The best Clint Eastwood movies showcase why he is considered one of the most prolific and successful actors in film history. Now a 93-year-old filmmaker, Eastwood has been focusing on directing and is renowned for the speed at which he's developing new movies at this stage of his life. While Clint Eastwood has directed some great films dating back to the 1970s, he's best known for his acting roles, rising to fame in the 1960s as a charismatic, tough leading man in movies like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and later the Dirty Harry series.

Eastwood's acting is recognized for being synonymous with the Western genre, or more specifically, the Spaghetti Western and revisionist Western subgenres. Sergio Leone's Man with No Name trilogy is iconic, and Eastwood continued to develop the genre with films like The Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven, which he directed and starred in.

It is borderline impossible to define the six-decade-long artistic legacy that Clint Eastwood had painstakingly mapped, as his stacked filmography includes everything from certified classics to overlooked gems. Of course, no artist can have an impeccably perfect run, but some, like Eastwood, inch very close to that ideal by re-defining entire genres that will always have a place in cinematic history. Not every good film that Eastwood helmed or starred in made a ton of money at the box office, but artistic success cannot be solely measured via such narrow metrics, as his name is embedded into the public consciousness, for better or worse.

It is tempting to dissect Eastwood's artistry purely through the Western genre — works like "A Fistful of Dollars" or "The Outlaw Josey Wales" capture his contributions succinctly — but there is much more to him than a drawling accent or laidback gunslinging. The actor has often been...

But one movie out of this lot had a deeper meaning for the actor, which stopped him from giving up on acting. The movie in question is Million Dollar Baby and has a unique Sandra Bullock connection.

Clint Eastwood‘s acting prowess is not a surprise to many, given the actor has several awards under his belt, including five Academy Awards. But while he’s a legendary actor, he also showcased his filmmaking talents with his directorial debut project Play Misty for Me in 1971. Since then,...

With a career spanning over 6 decades, Clint Eastwood is an undisputed icon in Hollywood. His contributions to acting and filmmaking are widely revered by fans worldwide. The Dirty Harry fame also has 4 Oscars attached to his name. Strangely, despite having such a celebrated career, he is one of the rarest celebrities who does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been one of the greatest honors in the industry. While several fans consider it as a publicity stunt, it makes the celebrities believe that they have attained a certain level. However, Clint Eastwood’s case is different as he never cared much about materialistic success. He has been nominated for the honor numerous times but he has always emphasized more on his craft rather than the accolades.

Clint Eastwood, the man who made squinting an art form, once thought he’d ride off into the sunset, leaving acting behind for good. But then, a script with an epic tale came along—so irresistible, even this Hollywood legend couldn’t turn it down. Enter the $216 million blockbuster that roped Eastwood back in front of the camera, a film so powerful it not only reignited his passion but also landed him two Oscars.

The original Childlike Empress from The NeverEnding Story supports plans for a series reboot to inspire creativity and keep the dreamer alive. The franchise faced past failed reboots, making fans wary, but a new approach could stay true to the original source material. The hope is that the new NeverEnding Story reboot will introduce Fantasia to a new generation of fans successfully.

The NeverEnding Storys original Childlike Empress weighs in on plans for a series reboot. Based on the 1979 fantasy novel by German author Michael Ende, 1984s The NeverEnding Story would originally only receive modest box office success in the US, despite a strong reception from critics. It eventually became a much beloved cult classic. Spawning two sequels and a short-lived television series, plans for a fresh reboot were first announced as far back as 2009. Despite rights issues causing those plans to fall through, a new series of live-action films...

The drama and intrigue of an attempt on a president’s life gripped moviegoers when In the Line of Fire debuted 31 years ago.

The thriller from director Wolfgang Petersen (Air Force One) stars Clint Eastwood as Frank Horrigan, an aging Secret Service agent tormented over his inability to stop President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Frank finds himself in a battle of wits with a former CIA agent (John Malkovich) intent on killing the current president.

Producer Jeff Apple was drawn to the idea of a Secret Service film based on a high school memory of seeing President Lyndon B. Johnson in person in Miami in 1965. “These guys jump out of the car with dark glasses and dark suits, and I was so amazed,” Apple tells The Hollywood Reporter.

During the early 1980s, he reached out to Robert Snow, then-deputy director of the Secret Service, who offered guidance and later...

Since the 1960s, Clint Eastwood has been a major box office draw, tackling genres like Western, action and comedy. Rising to fame through his performance as Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" protagonist, The Man With No Name, the actor became one of the key, defining performers of the twentieth century. Succeeding John Wayne as the face of the Western genre, Eastwood is often associated with gunslingers of the Old West. However, those aren't his only roles, and some of his best are from completely different genres.

Clint Eastwood has as strong a directorial career as an acting one, taking a very hands-on approach to every movie he works on. Ranging from action-packed thrillers to tense dramas, the actor has demonstrated an impressive range of talent, though his action, gunslinger roles remain the favorite. Outside of Westerns, the actor/director continues to have a profound impact on cinema and maintains one...

Breaking out in the 1960s for Rawhide, Clint Eastwood has since gone on to become one of the most successful and acclaimed faces in Hollywood. Boasting an illustrious career spanning the roles of actor, director, producer, and composer, the Million Dollar Baby star has enough experience when it comes to the art of making movies and appraising the ones rightfully deserving.

In terms of the latter, he has earmarked a note of fame for a classic 1981 movie, terming it as a fine example of quality film-making.

Rather, the German action and war thriller had such an impact on him that he collaborated with its director, Wolfgang Petersen, in the times ahead. The acclaim for the latter director came largely because of his genius techniques that perfectly captured the tension...

Terry Matalas will direct a remake of the 1985 sci-fi Enemy Mine, which marooned a warring human and alien on an unoccupied planet.

It was a good year as far science fiction, 1985. There was Back To The Future of course, but also Weird Science, Explorers, Brazil and Enemy Mine. The latter film starred Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr, and was about a human space traveller (Quaid) who crash lands on a seemingly deserted planet along with a scaly alien. The twist is that the human and alien species are at war with each other, and the pair have to put their differences aside in order to survive.

Enemy Mine may not be quite as widely remembered as its 1985 contemporaries in the sci-fi genre, but its impact certainly lingered with those who saw it. Wolfgang Peterson directed the movie and Enemy Mine built up something of a cult following in the years after its release.

Hey, do you remember "Poseidon"? The 2006 action pic from director Wolfgang Petersen is a remake of the 1972 disaster epic "The Poseidon Adventure," as well as an adaptation of Paul Gallico's 1969 "The Poseidon Adventure" novel. The story focuses on a cruise ship that gets hit by a tidal wave and flips upside down. The survivors have to then claw their way to the bottom of the ship, which is now the top. Lots of characters die horribly along the way. It's fun for the whole family!

The star-studded remake cast includes Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, Richard Dreyfuss, and the late, great Andre Braugher. Russell is probably the biggest name of the bunch, and the actor plays Robert Ramsey, a character who is both an ex-firefighter and the former Mayor of New York City. His history allows him to sort of take command of the situation, although he's really mostly concerned...

John Malkovich could excel in a number of roles in the upcoming The Fantastic Four movie with his intense acting skills. Malkovich could potentially play a lighter character like mailman Willie Lumpkin, humanizing the Fantastic Four in a fun way. With Malkovich's talent for playing villains, his portrayal of Doctor Doom, one of Marvel's greatest villains, could make a huge impact in the MCU.

Casting for Marvel Studios The Fantastic Four has been heating up. The official cast for the titular hero team was announced on Valentine's Day 2024, with Julia Garner as the Shalla-Bal version of the Silver Surfer. On May 9, 2024, fans got two major pieces of casting information. The biggest was the news that Ralph Ineson would be playing the villain Galactus, but a few hours earlier, it was confirmed that legendary actor John Malkovich had joined the cast in an unknown role.

Malkovich is an accomplished actor. He...
