Colin Farrell has often talked about what first drew him to acting, and he credits one movie in particular for inspiring him as a young boy growing up in Dublin.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he recalled seeing Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster Et the Extra-Terrestrial for the first time.

Farrell said, “I cried and I just loved it. I was taken away completely to another world. It inspired in me all sorts of thoughts, emotions, and it has stayed with me very much. Et really did it for me.”

Spielberg’s film, a story about a young boy who befriends an alien, was inspired by the director’s own imaginary friend from childhood.

Tubi is kicking off September with dozens of familiar titles, including a range of horror films like “Crawl,” “Fright Night” and “Lake Placid” ahead of the fall season.

The streamer also plans to add the popular animated action-comedy, “Archer, which follows super spy Sterling Archer and the global missions of his dysfunctional team of secret agents.

In 2019, Edivan Guajajara, Chelsea Greene, and Rob Grobman began filming “We Are Guardians,” a documentary about Indigenous forest guardians fighting to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.

The directors followed various forest guardians of Brazil as they fought to protect the Amazon rainforest from destruction.

“Through the smoke and confusion of the media coming from Brazil and the international community, we decided to mobilize and uncover the truth,” Greene and Grobman said in a joint statement.”We wanted to hear from those closest to the forest, and the fires, what was happening, from their perspective.”

After a year, Guajajara, Greene, and Grobman showed producers Zak Kilberg, Maura Anderson, and Fisher Stevens a reel of what they had captured in the Amazon. The producers, who at the time were forming their production company Highly Flammable, were immediately intrigued and decided to make “We Are Guardians...

Yellowstone‘s Rip Wheeler is making some big bucks. The stocky ranch hand-turned-family member, played by Cole Hauser, quickly rose to fame in Taylor Sheridan’s Western show. After nearly three decades of pursuing an acting career, Hauser’s odds began getting bigger and better with this lead role. And he is currently looking to become one of the highest-paid TV actors.

While Hauser’s recent money and fame may come from Yellowstone, it should be noted that Hauser comes from a family of show business. And he is best friends with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. So, how much did Hauser earn from his last 30 years in the industry?

Colin Farrell is a versatile Irish actor who has excelled in a variety of genres, from action films to dramas and from wild comedies to very very dark comedies.

Farrell has had the good fortune to work with many of the best directors out there, including Terence Malick and Steven Spielberg. Two writers/directors in particular have been instrumental in pushing Farrell to new artistic ground. Martin McDonagh directed Farrell to his first Golden Globe win (Best Actor for "In Bruges"), and Yorgos Lanthimos led Farrell to his second Best Actor Globe nomination, this time for "The Lobster."

He also received acclaim for "The Banshees of Inisherin" with his first Oscar nomination and become a DC villain in "The Batman." That film role led to television with excellent reviews and big ratings for the HBO Max limited series "The Penguin."

Quick Links Joel Schumaker Had a Hard Time Moving Past Batman & Robin What is the Story of Tigerland? Tigerland Was One Of Joel Schumacher's Most Acclaimed Films

The late Joel Schumacher directed many iconic films throughout his career, from The Lost Boys to A Time to Kill. It's almost impossible, however, to hear the director's name and talk about him without making his involvement with DC part of the conversation. Despite the acclaim he received for his direction in thrillers and dramas, his brief time in the comic book/superhero genre wasn't quite met the same way. Batman Forever opened to mixed reviews in 1995, but it was 1997's Batman & Robin that received the biggest amount of backlash. Although his two Batman movies have come to be seen in a better light than how they were initially upon their release, the negative impact that they had on his career is undeniable.

Hulu offers a wide array of films and series refreshed monthly, with over 100 new movies and TV shows coming to the platform in November. Launched in 2007, Hulu has been at the forefront of the streaming service boom since the very beginning, and it's one of the most popular services thanks to its rich catalog of new and classic movies and shows. From hosting series from networks like FX and ABC to producing original films and shows, Hulu has become an indispensable source of entertainment.

October 2024 was a busy month for the platform with the return of some popular series, including What We Do in the Shadows and Abbott Elementary. There were also plenty of horror titles for the Halloween season. Looking ahead to November 2024, Hulu is once again getting into the festive season with the addition of a variety of Christmas content, including TV movies, reality specials, and holiday movie favorites.

November 2024 brings a diverse array of movies and shows to Hulu, catering to a wide range of tastes and interests. From classic holiday films to gripping dramas and entertaining reality series, there’s something for everyone. Viewers can dive into beloved titles like A Christmas Carol (1984) and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. For fans of action and adventure, the month features iconic films such as Aliens, Ghost Rider, and the Chronicles of Narnia series. Those seeking laughter can enjoy comedies like Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Grown Ups, while romantic and family-friendly options like La La Land and Elf add a touch of warmth. Additionally, Hulu is expanding its lineup with complete seasons of popular reality shows like Are You The One?, Hoarders, and Marriage Boot Camp. The month also includes special premieres, such as the 58th Annual CMA Awards and a series on The Stanford Prison Experiment,...

October was huge for Disney+ and Hulu — but which month isn’t? After the weekly installments of “Agatha All Along” and the staple that is Huluween, the bundled streamers gear up for winter programming this November.

Disney+ continues to be the home for live episodes of “Dancing With the Stars” and the original series “Ayla & The Mirrors,” which continues to air new episodes. Along with new children’s programming and holiday specials like “An Almost Christmas Story,” the streamer will premiere “The Music of John Williams” on November 1, celebrating the acclaimed film composer and his decades-long career with new footage and interviews from those he worked with and inspired.

It’s another big month for movies coming to Hulu, as well as beloved shows like “Ally McBeal” (complete series). Stay tuned for an adaptation of Charles Yu’s “Interior Chinatown” and the docuseries “It’s All Country,” as well as...

Colin Farrell is an actor with a multitude of acting ranges. Sometimes he is known for his intense and dramatic roles, such as in In Bruges and The Lobster, while at other times he showcases his versatility in more light-hearted films like Horrible Bosses or The Gentlemen. But more recently, he has been amazing viewers and critics with his portrayal of Oz Comb in The Penguin.

While the actor has been earning rave reviews for his performance, despite the layers of makeup and prosthetics, this isn’t the first time he showed off his acting genius. Ages ago the actor portrayed a character trapped in a public phone box, taking inspiration from Samuel L. Jackson’s Star Wars comment.

Colin Farrell, who has garnered widespread acclaim for his Oz Cobb/ Penguin in the DC Universe, has had his fair share of moments, be it his professional or personal life. One such instance happened in the early 2000s when the actor’s X-rated video was leaked online, leading him to indulge in a lawsuit.

The legal battle involved his ex-girlfriend and former Playboy model Nicole Narain, with whom he created the video. His case garnered immense media and public attention, with the actor admitting that he was offered a staggering sum for the rights to the tape.

Colin Farrell’s journey from a young and ambitious actor to a respected star in Hollywood is a tale filled with transformation, determination, and a touch of self-deprecating humor! The actor is known for his intense roles and charm, but his career has seen its share of ups and downs, which is only expected when you work in the show business.

However, it’s his candid reflections on his past, particularly about choices he made early in his career, that will give you a unique insight into the man behind the roles. As he continues to evolve both personally and professionally, his latest venture as the Penguin promises to be another significant milestone in his storied life.

Reflecting on his earlier years, Colin Farrell recounted...

There are a ton of prolific actors in the film industry, but only a handful of actors can rival the stardom of Matt Damon. The actor has worked in a number of films, which have left the audience mesmerized, and have led to a huge fan following all over the world. Damon has worked in films such as Good Will Hunting, Air, The Martian, Ocean’s Eleven, and many more, where he has proved his acting range.

Needless to say, working in films of various genres earned him the golden opportunity to work with names such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Robin Williams, and many more. However, he was quite close to working with Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg, until scheduling disagreements forced the filmmaker to find his replacement.

Scheduling Conflicts Made Matt Damon Lose Out on His Only Opportunity to Work...

The Vietnam War was a notoriously long event that was felt worldwide. Between 1955 and 1975, the central conflict of North and South Vietnam fighting each other captivated the world and resulted in several other nations, including the United States, sending in troops. Full of controversy and casualties, the Vietnam War left a serious mark on world history. With a war this consequential, it is no wonder that audiences have received many films about the event. Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, and Good Morning, Vietnam are just a few movies that came out years after the war's conclusion.

Films about the Vietnam War were primarily released in the 1970s and 1980s, yet the 21st century has still found some room for more stories to tell. For example, the new HBO series The Sympathizer has been hooking viewers with its exploration of the Vietnam War at its near end. Along with following soldiers in combat,...

Sugar boasts an all-star cast like Colin Farrell, blending classic noir with modern thrills. Series earns high praise with 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, showcasing success. Apple TV+ continues to deliver top-notch series led by movie star casts.

Apple TV+'s latest crime drama, Sugar, boasts an all-star cast headlined by Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell. Over the past five years, Apple has put its stake in the streaming service game, with many of the best TV series on Apple TV+ led by movie star casts. Sugar is no exception, with an outstanding ensemble of veteran talent and rising stars. The series blends the classic film noir detective genre, akin to Chinatown, with riveting modern action, making for an engaging thriller. It's produced by Mark Protosevich, who previously wrote I Am Legend and Thor.

Sugar's first two episodes have proven successful, with the series earning an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It...

Colin Farrell continues his streak of critical success with an impressive 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes for Sugar. The show blends modern storytelling with classic noir formula, earning praise for its unique take on the private detective story. With the first two episodes now streaming on Apple TV+, Sugar promises to unravel family secrets alongside the mysterious disappearance storyline.

Colin Farrell's recent critical success streak is continuing with Sugar's Rotten Tomatoes score. Created by I Am Legend's Mark Protosevich, the Apple TV+ show centers on Farrell's titular private detective as he's hired to investigate the disappearance of a movie producer's rebellious daughter, only to get wrapped up in a decades-old conspiracy while grappling with a big secret of his own. Alongside Farrell, the ensemble Sugar cast includes Kirby, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris, Alex Hernandez, Ana Gunn, Lindsay Pulsipher, James Cromwell and Nate Corddry.

With the show finally airing on...

Since he made his Hollywood debut in the 2000 Vietnam War drama "Tigerland," Colin Farrell's career has had some downs and some ups. All in all, though, he's largely outgrown his 2000s playboy reputation and is deservedly recognized as one of the best movie stars we've got. Farrell's got the eloquent soul of an artist, the way only an Irishman does.

After Farrell's earlier and fruitless efforts to be an action hero, he's learned to not let his occasional franchise gigs distract him from more personal work. Not all his work is on film either. In 2024, he'll be returning to television with two crime drama roles.

He plays Oz Cobblepot in the Max series "Penguin," spinning out of his supporting role in 2022's "The Batman." Before he returns onscreen as the Penguin, though, he's going to star in (and executive produce) "Sugar" for competing streaming service Apple TV+.

The American Film Institute has its sights set on Matthew Libatique.

The Oscar nominated cinematographer, who graduated from the institution in 1992, has been tapped to receive AFI’s Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal. It will be presented during the AFI Life Achievement Award tribute to Nicole Kidman at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 27.

The medal is awarded annually “to an alumnus of either the AFI Conservatory or the [AFI Directing Workshop for Women] who best embodies the qualities of the late director: talent, taste, dedication and commitment to quality filmmaking.” Schaffner, who died in 1989, won a best director Oscar for Patton in 1970. Recipients of the Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal include David Lynch, Edward Zwick, Amy Heckerling, Terrence Malick, Darren Aronofsky, Patty Jenkins, Paul Schrader, Janusz Kamiński, Caleb Deschanel, Lesli Linka Glatter, Rachel Morrison, Melina Matsoukas, Siân Heder and others.

The honor comes as Libatique has earned raves for working on Bradley Cooper...

Streaming services are now trying to ration their upcoming original content due to the ongoing actors strike and the only recently-resolved writers’ strike, so we’re going to see a thinning-down of new releases across the board over the next six months at least. Hulu will be adding a lot of library TV shows and movies in November, but there are only a few new major original projects hitting the streamer this month.

Hulu’s spotlight streaming series in November is Black Cake, which is based on the bestselling book by Charmaine Wilkerson. Part family drama, part murder mystery, the show features a globetrotting story that will cover decades of events after a bereaved family find a flash drive that contains some shocking secrets about the hidden history of their late matriarch.

Also dropping on Hulu this month is the original film Quiz Lady, starring Sandra Oh, Awkwafina, Jason Schwartzman,...

What makes a sex scene sexy? More to the point, what makes a sex scene good? That’s become an especially thorny question in recent years, with detailed accounts of what goes on behind the scenes of movies we love complicating our relationship with their most memorable moments. And though we’re ever so slowly moving away from the male gaze serving as the default perspective on love, sex, and everything between, there’s still a long way to go.

That is, if sex scenes still appear in movies at all. They do, but with greater infrequency, certainly in Hollywood studio productions. Though many think-pieces have been written about “the death of the sex scene” there’s still been a lot to celebrate over the last 23 years. A number of sex-positive, LGBTQ-friendly, and otherwise forward-thinking filmmakers have directed scenes that are as steamy as they are moving. There’s nothing...

Even some great directors have terrible debut movies, as proven by a look back at the less impressive films of a few illustrious filmmakers. Everyone has to start somewhere. Even future Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone began his career with a role in the adult movie The Party at Kitty and Stud’s. At the same time, directors can often have an even more challenging time breaking into the industry. Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham, who eventually helped invent the slasher sub-genre with A Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th, first met while working together on an adult movie.

However, while these inauspicious debuts might have been less than family-friendly, they weren’t necessarily bad movies. The same cannot be said for the first onscreen efforts of many great directors. While some filmmakers started strong, plenty of great directors have made terrible debut movies. Like movie actors who starred in forgotten TV shows,...

On paper, "Alexander" looked like a surefire hit. Colin Farrell, who starred as the titular world-conqueror in the 2004 film, certainly thought so. And who could blame him? Helmed by an acclaimed director in Oliver Stone and featuring a stacked cast that included Sir Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Rosario Dawson, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto, and Christopher Plummer, it seemed like the perfect vehicle to catapult the young Irish actor to superstardom. The film also featured a very robust budget of 155 million, and every bit was needed to capture the scale and scope of Alexander the Great's life.

And then, the terrible reviews started to come in. The box office receipts didn't. Stone's epic biopic managed a measly 34 million domestic, and barely scraped past its budget worldwide with 167 million, all told. A mere four years after his breakout role in "Tigerland," Farrell started to question his own talent and the future...

Colin Farrell has the Brad Pitt curse; he has the talent of a character actor but he's too hot to be anything but a leading man. As such, Hollywood didn't quite know what to do with him during his breakout in the 2000s.

I'd point to two directors who best understand how to use Farrell. First, there's the man who discovered him: Joel Schumacher. In their second collaboration, "Phone Booth," Farrell played Stu Shepard, a sleazy PR operative who has to confront his sins. Some early proof he was more than just a pretty boy.

Then there's Martin McDonagh, director of "In Bruges" which is, for my money, still Farrell's best movie. When I watched Farrell play Ray, a fledgling hitman hiding out in Belgium after a job gone wrong, I realized what a great, and hilarious, actor he can be. The resulting story is the funniest movie ever made...

Since beginning his career in the late 1990s, Irish actor Colin Farrell has been on a proverbial rollercoaster. Following a handful of early film and TV appearances, Farrell first gained the attention of Hollywood when he starred in Joel Schumacher’s 2000 war drama Tigerland. And his breakout role came in 2002 when he played Agent Danny Witwer in Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report. His excellent work, good looks, and onscreen charisma quickly positioned Farrell as a potentially huge leading man. But a string of moderate successes, outright failures, and mixed critical responses with films like Phone Booth, Daredevil, S.W.A.T., Miami Vice, and the universally derided Alexander cooled the actor’s jets for a while, while Farrell also rode out some personal relationship drama and a trip to rehab.

He came out the other end of that phase with more managed expectations, transitioning from standard leading man fare to more wide-ranging character...

Joel Schumacher was an immensely talented filmmaker whose slick visual style earned him loads of high-profile assignments during the 1980s and '90s. He could deliver the sensuous perfume commercial aesthetic of A-listers like Alan Parker, Ridley Scott, and Adrian Lyne sans the auteurist demand for total creative control. He possessed the crowd-pleasing instincts of Tony Scott. He worked with the biggest movie stars of the day: Julia Roberts, Michael Douglas, Jim Carrey, Matthew McConaughey, and Mr. T. He discovered Colin Farrell with 2000's "Tigerland." He both saved and killed the "Batman" franchise.

That Schumacher had any kind of career is something of a miracle. He survived a wild youth that included a near-fatal meth addiction, and by his own admission, thousands of sexual partners as the 1980s AIDS epidemic took hold. This experience gave him valuable insight as he landed major studio assignments packed with volatile young talent. On "St. Elmo's Fire,...

When Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson played hit men in the 2008 black comedy “In Bruges,” it was an inspired pairing, letting both actors shine in ways they hadn’t before. Farrell’s good looks had won him the lead in “Tigerland” over 20 years ago, but directors shied away from exploring his talents as a character actor. Gleeson had won an Emmy for playing Winston Churchill in an HBO movie, “Into the Storm,” and was nominated as Best Actor by the New York Film Critics Circle in 1998 for playing Irish folk hero Martin Cahill in “The General,” but the big buzzy movie part eluded him. Together “In Bruges,” they were hilarious and the Hollywood Foreign Press nominated both Farrell and Gleeson for Golden Globe awards in 2009; Farrell won as Best Actor in a Comedy.

Nearly 15 years later, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are reunited in sublime form in Martin McDonagh’s...

Colin Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) could finally be on his way to his first Oscar nomination more than two decades after his 2000 international breakthrough in the film “Tigerland.” He currently ranks third for Best Actor according to the predictions of the Expert journalists we’ve surveyed from major media outlets thus far. Do you agree that his wait is finally over?

Farrell stars in “Banshees” as Padraic, who is shocked when Colm (Brendan Gleeson) abruptly ends their years-long friendship. The film screened at the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, where it was greeted with glowing reviews: 90 score on MetaCritic so far based on 22 reviews counted, 100 fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 44 reviews. Rt summarizes the critics’ consensus by saying, “Featuring some of [writer/director] Martin McDonagh‘s finest work and a pair of outstanding lead performances, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ is a finely crafted feel-bad treat.”

“If we got rid of every gay man in the military, there would be no military,” a sympathetic officer tells Marine recruit Ellis French in “The Inspection.” That’s an exceptionally open-minded take on the United States’ “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, seeing as how pretty much everyone else French encounters at boot camp is openly hostile to there being a gay man among them. But writer-director Elegance Bratton made it through the system — like the character, he’d been lost and homeless for a decade before enlisting — and this deeply personal narrative debut is one gay Black man’s way of showing how he not only survived the experience, but was strengthened by it. “The few, the proud,” as they say.

To play himself — er, French — Bratton tapped Emmy nominee Jeremy Pope (“Hollywood”), soon to be seen as Basquiat on Broadway in “The Collaboration.” Pope gives a...

When Wolfgang Petersen burst onto the scene with his WWII submarine masterpiece "Das Boot," Hollywood came calling. Any director who could pin audiences to their seats for two-and-a-half hours with a film that rarely leaves the interior of a U-boat surely had the skills to enthrall viewers with a mainstream blockbuster. While Petersen proved more than reliable with smashes like "In the Line of Fire," "Outbreak," "Air Force One," and "The Perfect Storm," he occasionally found himself attached to ambitious projects that, for one reason or another, failed to launch or launched without him at the helm.

Petersen, who died on August 12, 2022, at the age of 81, left behind a litany of what-ifs. He was in the mix on several tantalizing projects that could've changed the complexion of superhero and YA filmmaking; there's an alternate universe in which Petersen revived the DC universe with a Batman and Superman mash-up in the early 2000s.

Much of the ink printed about Showtime’s prestige series The First Lady has (deservingly) been in reference to its female creative team, whether it be stars Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gillian Anderson, director Susanne Bier or producer Cathy Schulman. But there’s a good story to be told about two men on The First Lady, specifically creator Aaron Cooley and co-star Kiefer Sutherland.

Cooley cut his teeth in entertainment by starting out as an assistant to filmmaker Joel Schumacher in 2002. By that point, the in-demand auteur had already churned out a long list of high-profile Hollywood films including St. Elmo’s Fire, The Lost Boys, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, A Time to Kill, Flawless and Tigerland, to name a few. But there’s one more feature that’s worthy of mention because it left quite an impression.

Chris Huvane, a partner and manager at Hollywood firm Management 360 and former magazine editor and PR executive, died Sunday night. He was 47.

The cause was an apparent suicide, according to Deadline. Huvane had been open about his battles with depression. He is survived by two brothers: Slate PR partner Stephen Huvane and CAA managing partner Kevin Huvane.

His clients at Management 360 included Margot Robbie, Julianne Moore, Zoey Deutch, Zach Braff, the late Chadwick Boseman and Margaret Qualley.

Shere Khan in The Jungle Book Photo: Disney It was International Tiger Day yesterday, so we're earning our stripes this week with a Streaming Spotlight dedicated to these Asian big cats. The animals are still under global threat, with their numbers dropping by more than 95 per cent since the beginning of the 20th Century according to the WWF, although they are now, thankfully on the rise again - and if you're looking for a film charting conservation efforts, Tigerland is well worth watching, although sadly not currently available to stream. You can read more about International Tiger Day on the WWF website.

The Jungle Book, Disney+

Surely the Goat of cinematic tigers, Shere Khan first prowled his way into the hearts of a generation of children with the 1967 Disney animation - and he was given a whole new lease of silky menace by Idris Elba in this live-action remake. "Live...

Matthew McConaughey has paid tribute to the late Joel Schumacher. The actor starred in 1996's A Time to Kill, which was directed by Schumacher, and served as McConaghey's big break in many ways. While he had starred in movies before that, the courtroom drama represented his shot at a leading role. McConaughey says he owes his career to Schumacher.

Following a year-long battler with cancer, Joel Schumacher passed away at the age of 80 recently. In an interview following the filmmaker's passing, Matthew McConaughey discussed how Schumacher put up a fight to get him the leading role in A Time to Kill. Here's what McConaughey had to say.

"Joel not only took a chance on me, he fought for me. Knowing the studio might never approve a relatively unknown like myself for the lead in 'A Time to Kill,' he set up a secret screen test for me on...

When most people hear the name Joel Schumacher, their mind instantly turns to the near-irreparable damage he did to the Batman franchise, taking the Gothic aesthetic established by Tim Burton and turning it into a neon and nipples extravaganza designed to sell as many toys as possible and banishing the Dark Knight to cinematic purgatory for close to a decade.

However, The Lost Boys director’s legacy stretches much further and wider than simply making two Batman movies, and his filmography is about as diverse and varied as you’d expect from anyone that spent over 40 years in the business. Two of his first credits were for writing Car Wash and Michael Jackson musical The Wiz, both of which went on to become firm cult classics.

Schumacher was also responsible for two of Hollywood’s finest John Grisham adaptations in The Client and A Time to Kill, directed the best...

After battling cancer for a year, Joel Schumacher passed away this week at the age of 80, and some of the more famous people he helped in his long career have been remembering the different ways his work, friendship and support affected them.

Schumacher directed a number of memorable films over the decades, including St. Elmo’s Fire, The Lost Boys, Flatliners, Falling Down, Tigerland and A Time to Kill. In a statement, Matthew McConaughey has opened up about his breakout role in that 1996 John Grisham adaptation, crediting Schumacher with altering his professional trajectory against the odds.

“Joel not only took a chance on me, he fought for me,” McConaughey told Variety. “Knowing the studio might never approve a relatively unknown like myself for the lead in A Time to Kill, he set up a secret screen test for me on a Sunday morning in a small unknown studio because as he stated,...

Joel Schumacher and the star he made, Colin FarrellI once walked across the street in the East Village with Joel Schumacher. I didn't say anything though I immediately recognized him; as directors go he was hard to miss -- very tall with long silver hair. Anything I might have wanted to say would surely have been too belabored in a street crossing. "I love your work," is rote and in this case untrue though I loved some of his work enthusiastically in a formative (St Elmo's Fire) or camp (Batman & Robin) or moment-in-time.

Sometimes I loved his work in all of those ways at once -- Love you, Lost Boys!

It's been curious to see so much appreciation spring up on the internet today, particularly because Schumacher was never a director to inspire reverence in the masses though he made several popular pictures...

Veteran and beloved filmmaker Joel Schumacher has died at the age of 80 after a year-long battle with cancer.

Having started out his career as a costume designer, Schumacher soon saw his love of film take him in a new direction landing up in the director’s chair. He rose to fame after directing three hit films that wrapped up the 80s’ in a nutshell with 1985s’ ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ which starred Brat packers, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez alongside Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham. It centres on a clique of recent graduates of Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown University, and their adjustment to post-university life and the responsibilities of adulthood.

The Vampire classic ‘The Lost Boys’ followed in 1987, it starred Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes. The film was a critical and commercial success,...
