Graham Greene, the Canadian First Nations actor who garnered an Oscar nomination for his work in Kevin Costner’s “Dances with Wolves,” died Monday after a long illness, according to media reports. He was 73.

Greene was born in Ohsweken, on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario in 1952. By the 1970’s he was working in professional theater in Toronto and England. His first film credit was the Canadian film “Running Brave” in 1983. By the end of the decade Costner had cast him in “Dances with Wolves,” based on the novel by Michael Blake, which earned Greene an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Throughout the next few decades, he appeared...

Robert Downey Jr.’s highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes is surprisingly not any of the Marvel films but the 1995 movie Richard III. An adaptation of the Shakespearean play of the same name, the film was set in 1930s England and saw Sir Ian McKellen play the titular character, while Rdj played Rivers, the brother of Queen Elizabeth Woodville.

The movie received a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the Iron Man star’s highest-rated movie on the site. Rdj is known best for playing Iron Man in the MCU, which revived his career after several legal troubles. The actor has played many characters beyond Marvel, which have been overshadowed by his role of Tony Stark.

Frank Price, the writer-producer who emerged from the world of TV Westerns to preside over the television and movie divisions at Universal and serve two terms as the head of Columbia Pictures, died Monday. He was 95.

Price died in his sleep of natural causes at his home in Santa Monica, his son Roy Price, the former president of Amazon Studios, told The Hollywood Reporter.

As a movie boss, Frank Price had a hand in such critical successes as the Oscar best picture winners Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), Gandhi (1982) and Out of Africa (1985) and huge money-makers including Tootsie (1982), Ghostbusters (1984), The Karate Kid (1984), Back to the Future (1985), Boyz n the Hood (1991) and A League of Their Own (1992).

Earlier, Price had spent nearly two decades as a writer, producer and then head of Universal Television. His idea put The Virginian — one of TV’s longest-running Westerns — in motion, and he executive produced Ironside and It Takes a Thief.

With the release of "Jurassic Park" in 1993, Steven Spielberg created an all-time cinematic classic. The definitive dinosaur movie, "Jurassic Park" adapted Michael Crichton's novel of the same name, telling the story of a futuristic theme park gone wrong. Thanks to some flashy cloning tech and some dino DNA found in mosquitoes encased in amber, the scientists at Jurassic Park are able to bring dinosaurs back to life, letting them walk the earth alongside human beings in the confines of John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) island theme park. What could possibly go wrong?

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't know exactly what went wrong at Jurassic Park...

Joe Caroff, the legendary graphic artist who designed the famous 007 logo and several movie posters and title sequences for the likes of Martin Scorsese, Bernardo Bertolucci and Woody Allen, has died. He was 103.

Joe Caroff’s name might not have the heft as some other notable poster and title card designers, but that’s because he rarely took credit. With that, he could never receive residuals, something that no doubt would have earned him a lot more money – and fame. For his James Bond design, he earned just $300. As far as how he came up with the James Bond logo, Caroff once said, “I knew [Bond’s] designation was 007, and when I wrote the stem of the seven, I thought, ‘That looks like the handle of a gun to me.’ It was very spontaneous, no effort, it was an instant piece of creativity.”

And while Joe Caroff’s contributions to original James...

Joe Caroff, the unheralded graphic designer whose iconic creations included James Bond’s 007 gun logo, posters for West Side Story and A Hard Day’s Night and typography for Last Tango in Paris, Manhattan and Rollerball, died Sunday. He was 103.

Caroff died one day short of birthday No. 104 in hospice care at his home in Manhattan, his sons, Peter and Michael Caroff, told The New York Times.

Caroff also cooked up the opening title sequences for such films as Richard Attenborough’s A Bridge Too Far (1977), Volker Schlöndorff’s Death of a Salesman (1985), Gene Saks’ Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986) and Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), which pulled back to reveal a crown of thorns.

His portfolio of posters included those for a dozen or so Woody Allen films plus Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad (1963), A Fistful of Dollars...

Despite now encompassing more movies than the original "Jurassic Park" film trilogy, the "Jurassic World" franchise hasn't been quite as successful at establishing memorable characters. That's no shade to Chris Pratt or Bryce Dallas Howard, who do a fine job playing Owen Grady and Claire Dearing through the first three "Jurassic World" movies. It's simply true that those characters and the films' supporting players haven't entered the cinematic pantheon the way that Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) have. Need proof? Just look at how many classic "Jurassic Park" characters got brought back over the course of the initial "Jurassic World" trilogy, as if the newcomers in those movies couldn't carry the weight of their blockbuster budgets on their own.

To be sure, though, there have been some standout supporting performances in these films, most of them from 2015's "Jurassic World.

With the last full month of summer underway, Netflix has updated its film slate accordingly with several humorous films, some that do delve into back-to-school feelings and even a murder mystery.

In addition to the arrival of new seasons of Wednesday as well as My Life With the Walter Boys this month, two new Netflix originals will book-end August as well.

Find five of the best new movies on Netflix in August 2025 below:

Happy Gilmore 2 – July 25

Adam Sandler in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Netflix

Yes, technically this one’s left over from July, but the return of Adam Sandler to the titular golfer role was much anticipated. Christopher McDonald also returned as Happy’s nemesis, and Julie Bowen’s Virginia Venit was back as well. New faces in the sequel film included musician Bad Bunny, football star Travis Kelce and Margaret Qualley as well as Ben Stiller.

Jeff Goldblumhas starred in many films, but one of his most iconic projects has recently become a streaming hit. Before fans tune in to see him play The Wizard of Oz in Wicked: For Good later this year, they're flocking to HBO Max and turning Jurassic Park into a streaming hit once again, 32 years after it was originally released. Goldblum plays chaos theorist Ian Malcolm in this science fiction feature, which landed him a "Best Supporting Actor" nomination at the Saturn Awards, and starring alongside him were Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough, and Samuel L. Jackson. It seems fans are revisiting this classic as Jurassic World Rebirth is at the tail end of its theatrical run.

Jurassic Park landed at 8th on HBO Max's Top Movies as of writing, worldwide, sitting between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Until Dawn. Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton,...

Let’s be real, Denzel Washington is straight-up Oscar royalty. With nine Academy Award nominations and two wins under his belt, he’s proven time and again that he’s not just a movie star, but a genuine acting powerhouse. What’s even more impressive? He’s one of only nine actors to snag nominations across five different decades.

That’s the kind of staying power most actors can only dream of. From his breakthrough role in Glory to his recent Shakespearean turn in The Tragedy of Macbeth, Washington has consistently delivered performances that leave audiences and critics speechless.

9. Cry Freedom (1987) – Best Supporting Actor (Nominated) Stills from Cry Freedom (1987) | Credits: Universal Pictures, United International Pictures

Okay, so this one might feel a bit unfair to rank last, but hear us out. Washington’s portrayal of South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko in Richard Attenborough‘s Cry Freedom was nothing short of magnetic,...

There’s just something inherently creepy about dolls, and filmmakers have had a lot of fun over the decades crafting horror stories around that creepiness. Audiences clearly love to see it, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many creepy / killer doll movies out there. So to celebrate this sub-genre, we decided to put together a list of some of the all-time best killer dolls. Not killer doll movies, but specific dolls. Here is our list of the Top 10 Killer Dolls!

Annabelle (The Conjuring Universe)

This is a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” list entry if there ever was one. If we don’t include Annabelle – who scared people so badly in the opening scene of The Conjuring, she got her own spinoff franchise – there will be a lot of fans asking, “How could you leave Annabelle off a top 10 doll list?” If we do include her,...

One of Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan's best projects is a World War II epic that's unfortunately leaving streaming very soon. Fans of the historical thriller Dunkirk only have a few days to check out the critically acclaimed movie via Netflix.

PerCollider, Dunkirk is one of several movies leaving Netflix on Aug. 1, having been added to the streamer in January. The 2017 blockbuster has been a streaming hit this summer, having climbed Osn's global top 10 chart earlier this month.

Chronicling the famous Dunkirk evacuation during World War II, Dunkirk isn't the first movie to examine the event, as Richard Attenborough starred in an acclaimed film of the same name in 1958. However, Nolan put a visual twist to his retelling of the evacuation, depicting it from various perspectives, including from land, sea and air. The film also limits dialogue to create greater suspense among audiences and plays up the music by longtime...

This August, Netflix is bringing you a lot of entertainment, from the highly anticipated next chapter of the worldwide hit series Wednesday to the much-awaited murder mystery film The Thursday Murder Club. However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Netflix next month and have an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the eight best films that are coming to Netflix in August 2025 with an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Dazed and Confused (August 1) Rt Score: 94% Credit – Gramercy Pictures

Dazed and Confused is a coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Richard Linklater. The 1993 film is set in the 1970s in Austin, Texas, and it revolves around a group of teenagers on their last day of high school as they try to attend a party at the local pool.

Exclusive: Jurassic World Rebirth is juicing up the rest of the franchise on Peacock.

Since the summer blockbuster hit theaters on July 2, the Jurassic Park franchise has seen a 51% increase in viewing hours week-over-week, Deadline can reveal exclusively.

Jurassic World Dominion, the previous outing in the franchise, has seen some particularly dino-sized gains with a 186% boost in viewing hours in the week immediately following the newest film’s New York premiere on June 23.

Even before Rebirth‘s theatrical release, that premiere event also rejuvenated the franchise’s overall viewing as well as audiences geared up to head to the cinema. In the week following the New York jaunt, franchise viewing increased a whopping 82% week-over-week.

“Jurassic World Rebirth is a true summer blockbuster event driving audiences to theaters, and we’re thrilled to see them craving even more from this beloved franchise on Peacock. As the streaming home of the Jurassic empire,...

With Jurassic World: Rebirth taking a bite out of the box office, Jurassic Park fans get welcome news as the earliest installments of the dinosaur-heavy franchise land a major streaming home. Netflix is set to house the first Jurassic Park films later this summer.

Per ComicBook.com, Jurassic Park, The Lost World and Jurassic Park III are each coming to Netflix on Aug. 1. The trio of films joins Jurassic World entries such as Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion on Netflix, plus the animated series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, allowing fans to enjoy an abundance of content from the Jurassic Park franchise.

Starting in 1993, the Jurassic Park film series has been a gem for Universal Pictures ever since the rights to its titular book, penned by Michael Crichton, were bought three years earlier. Much like the book, the original Jurassic Park film, directed by Steven Spielberg, became a smash hit.

If the latest PVOD charts are any indication, dinosaurs will never go out of style. 32 years after wowing audiences in theaters, Jurassic Park has once again become a hit, this time on iTunes.

According to FlixPatrol, as of July 9, Jurassic Park is ranked No. 9 on iTunes' Top Movies list. Steven Spielberg's 1993 sci-fi classic is in good company, as two of its sequels, 2015's Jurassic World and 2018's Jurassic World Dominion, are slightly above it at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Based on Michael Crichton's 1990 novel of the same name, Jurassic Park follows a group of visitors as they struggle to survive and escape Isla Nublar — home of Jurassic Park — after a catastrophic power failure shuts off the safety precautions, allowing the de-extinct dinosaurs, including the vicious T-Rex and velociraptors, to roam free.

Jurassic Park was led by Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill, who respectively portrayed Drs. Ian Malcolm,...

Did you know Jurassic Park only featured 14 minutes of dinosaur footage in its entire 127-minute runtime? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, directed by Gareth Edwards, is now roaring into theaters. But even after more than three decades, Steven Spielberg’s original 1993 movie remains the highest-rated entry in the iconic film series, with a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. It’s one of those films in Spielberg’s illustrious directorial filmography that will always stand out for its intriguing subject, immaculate execution, and pathbreaking CGI.

Jurassic Park’s Smart Use of Dinosaurs

But Jurassic Park used surprisingly little of what most people think made it iconic – dinosaurs. You’ll be surprised to know that the entire film featured only 14 minutes of dinosaur footage out of a 127-minute runtime (via Business Insider). Interestingly, just four of those minutes were CGI. With dinosaurs on screen for barely 11% of the film,...

In Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking 1993 blockbuster "Jurassic Park," the billionaire behind the titular hoped-for attraction, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), is practically buzzing with giddy anticipation at how successful his venture will likely become. He crows that his team who helped bring dozens of extinct species of dinosaurs back to life "spared no expense," and that everything in the park boasts "absolutely spectacular designs." Although the small group of experts Hammond has invited to tour the park are indeed impressed with what he's done, having strong emotional responses to the sights of actual living dinosaurs walking the Earth, they begin to have serious doubts as reality begins to set in. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) sums up the potential folly of Jurassic Park succinctly: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

"Jurassic Park," both the first movie and Michael Crichton's source novel,...

Jurassic Park is one of the most beloved movies of all time, having spawned a franchise that continues to this day with the recent release of Jurassic World Rebirth. The original film was adapted from the book written by Michael Crichton, who collaborated on the screenplay with co-writer David Koepp. Adapting the book came with some big changes, however, which included sparing two characters who were killed off in the original story.

Koepp returned to the franchise to pen the script for the new film, Jurassic World Rebirth, for director Gareth Edwards. In an interview with THR, Koepp was asked about changing the fates of both John Hammond and Ian Malcolm. He explained the different reasons why these characters were spared in the film, in which they were respectively played by Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum. With Hammond, Koepp noted how the movie version of Hammond was more innocent compared...

This article contains some spoilers for "Jurassic World Rebirth"

I wonder if, when Michael Crichton wrote "Jurassic Park," he could have ever imagined the bloated, decades-spanning, merch-filled megalith it has become. I think of the shots of branded lunch boxes, backpacks, plastic toys, and t-shirts glimpsed in the vacant, powerless gift shop of the first film's park -- items that only foreshadowed what was to come in our own world. There's no question that, no matter your feelings on the more recent "Jurassic World" movies, they have ventured far from Crichton's original narrative focus. However, the latest entry, "Jurassic World Rebirth," still finds time to give the briefest possible shout-out to the series' creator.

The Easter egg arrives very early in the film, as big pharma exec Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend) sits in dino-induced traffic near Brooklyn Bridge Park. As he begins his in-car meeting with Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson...

In 1993, Steven Spielberg released a cinematic adaptation of Michael Crichton’s hit novel “Jurassic Park.” Co-written by Crichton and David Koepp, Spielberg’s film remains in high esteem to this day, one of the most rewarding and brilliantly constructed blockbusters in cinema history. Beyond the beauty and fear of the dinosaurs themselves (portrayed through a mix of digital and practical effects that holds up to this day), the film provided poignant commentary on the dangers of mass consumption, expansion and commercialization.

“You read what others had done, and you took the next step,” Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm says in one of the film’s most iconic scenes. “You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now you’re selling...

This week sees the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth, and it seems like it’s being met with a bit of a shrug from fans, even if it’s still going to make a solid amount of cash—these movies always do. Jurassic Park has become a franchise for Universal, and a profitable one at that. Yet, none of the films have had the magic the first one did. But what magic was that? I’m glad you asked.

You see, younger audiences may not appreciate it now, but Jurassic Park gave us Dinosaurs. The new Jurassic World movies are full of CGI dinosaurs, but we had never seen them convincingly portrayed on the big screen before. At best, we’d seen—admittedly impressive—stop-motion versions such as those made by Willis O’Brien and Ray Harryhausen, but Spielberg’s Jurassic Park truly brought them to life in a way no one could have ever imagined.

When director Steven Spielberg unleashed “Jurassic Park” on audiences in 1993, the sci-fi blockbuster quickly became the highest-grossing film ever at the time – and created a franchise that’s still running today.

With six films in total, the “Jurassic” franchise spans nearly three decades, with four different directors putting their stamps on what the world would look like if dinosaurs walked alongside humans.

Spielberg’s initial adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel showcased visual effects that were groundbreaking at the time, and each successive film in the franchise has attempted to one-up and/or recapture the magical mix of awe and terror that’s so effectively pervasive in the original movie.

With “Jurassic World Rebirth,” a brand new reboot of the franchise, hitting theaters this summer, there’s no time like the present to revisit the franchise. Below, we’ve put together a handy list of where every “Jurassic” movie is currently streaming.

Jurassic World Rebirth has massive footprints to fill. Ever since Universal Pictures' storied three-decade franchise debuted with Steven Spielberg's masterful Jurassic Park, there have been significant ups and downs in its subsequent outings. The latest, from director Gareth Edwards and writer David Koepp, creates some strong innovations, but muddles itself in the effort to recapture series magic. 

The Jurassic franchise has frequently suffered from a little bit of plot repetition, balanced against interesting new developments. Jurassic Park introduced audiences to John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), bringing archaeologists and a mathematician to check out his ambitious park of resurrected dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. It endangered everyone when security failed, including Hammond's grandchildren. The Lost World saw tragedy befall another island, Isla Sorna, including Ian Malcolm's (Jeff Goldblum) young daughter, Kelly.

Easter eggs in movies are an interesting thing. Sometimes, they are there only for the most hardcore of fans to spot. Rather famously, a "Guardians of the Galaxy" Easter egg has still never been spotted, at least not that director James Gunn has admitted to. At times, modern blockbusters can feel more like Easter egg hunts than anything else. Sometimes, though, an Easter egg is so subtle, yet so compelling, that it warrants a great deal of discussion. Such is the case with one from John Woo's 1997 action classic "Face/Off." And buckle up, because things are going to get weird.

Though this particular Easter egg has been pointed out in the past, it began making the rounds online again recently. We'll dig into it more in a moment but, in essence, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot from "Face/Off" suggests that the...

Milan Luthria’s Deewaar: Let’s Bring Our Heroes Home is largely set in a prison camp in Pakistan. As in Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, the barbed fence plays a pivotal part. Prisoners jump on it in frantic attempts to escape, the heroes get their hair hands, limbs and torsos bloody and swollen over it.

If you're a filmmaker in 1993 having one of the best years in your entire career, then congratulations, because your name must be Steven Spielberg. On top of winning over seven Academy Awards for the highly acclaimed WWII historical drama "Schindler's List," Spielberg was also one of many faces behind adapting Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" for the big screen. The film not only won three Oscars in the very same ceremony, but it also cemented itself as the pinnacle of CGI wizardry that visual effects artists still look up to. Of course, Spielberg was already a Hollywood staple at this point, having previously pioneered the modern blockbuster as we know it with 1975's "Jaws." All the same, the filmmaker was about to show audiences something they had never seen before, much like Richard Attenborough's ambitious dinosaur mogul John Hammond.

"Jurassic Park" simply doesn't happen without VFX artists Dennis Muren,...

David Attenborough, one of the greatest nature filmmakers of all time, is headed back to the big screen this summer. The British naturalist's newest film, Ocean with David Attenborough, will premiere on National Geographic on June 7, right in time for World Oceans Day on June 8 and the United Nations Ocean Conference, which begins on June 9. It will arrive on Hulu and Disney+ the following day. Before you jump in, Collider has an exclusive sneak peek of Attenborough's introduction to the film.

In the clip, the 99-year-old Attenborough stands at the seaside, introducing the most important place on Earth: the oceans. He guides the viewer through the changes in ocean exploration in his near-century lifetime. While early filmmakers' ability to explore the oceans was quite limited, the invention of Scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) gear in 1952 opened up a new world for explorers, allowing humans to stay underwater for much longer durations.

Neena Gupta’s film career began with bit roles 30 years back in Raman Kumar’s Saath Saath and Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi . She suffered a mid-career crisis but made a suitable comeback with Badhaai Ho.

“Rather than count the number of candles on my cake, I would rather count blessings. A fabulous life, a good career at a time when the biggest of stars are facing a career crisis a satisfying family life and a beautiful daughter who is doing well in life. What more can I ask for?” Neena Gupta couldn’t be in a happier place.

She admits Amit Sharma’s Badhaai Ho changed her life. “It happened late in my career, but it was the break I was looking for. I am a different person now, more confident…I could write my autobiography Sach Kahun Toh because of Badhaai Ho. Success gives you confidence of another level.

However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Peacock next month and have a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the five best films that are coming to Peacock in June 2025 with a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Hot Fuzz (June 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91% Credit – Focus Features

Hot Fuzz is a buddy cop action comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Pegg. The 2007 film follows Nicholas Angel, a brilliant London police officer who is re-assigned to a West Country village. At first, Nicholas doesn’t encounter much crime, but soon people begin gruesomely dying.

Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor is said to be a faint inspiration for Sanjay Bhansali’s forthcoming Love & War. The war epic, released on May 25, 2001, recreated the attack on Pearl Harbor in a pulp format.

In a key sequence of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt tells his cabinet that America must attack Japan in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Everyone looks askance. So what does the President do? He throws a metaphysical tantrum. He raises himself out of his wheelchair and bellows, “Don’t tell me it can’t be done.”

Well, it can, actually. The Pearl Harbor incident is something that America and Hollywood just can’t get out of their system. There have been other films on the subject, like Richard Fleischer’s Tora Tora Tora, but none so flashily comic book. Pearl Harbor can comfortably be divided into three parts—the romantic triangle, the attack on Pearl Harbor,...

Billy Williams, the British cinematographer celebrated for his Oscar-winning work on Gandhi and his evocative imagery in On Golden Pond, passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 96. It is with deepest sadness that the British Society of Cinematographers announced the loss of “our friend, member and former President” Billy Williams Bsc, whose pioneering spirit shaped generations of image-makers.

Williams began his career apprenticed to his father before serving as a photographer in the Royal Air Force, then joined British Transport Films, where he honed a documentary eye for light and movement. His first feature credit came in 1965, and by 1967 he was director of photography on Ken Russell’s Billion Dollar Brain. He earned his first Oscar nomination for Women in Love (1969) and won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for Gandhi (1982), a distinction he shared with Ronnie Taylor.

Billy Williams, the esteemed British cinematographer who shared an Oscar for shooting Gandhi and also was nominated for his work on the Glenda Jackson-starring Women in Love and Henry Fonda’s final film, On Golden Pond, has died. He was 96.

Williams’ death was announced in British Cinematographer magazine. No details on the cause of death were provided.

“With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to Billy Williams — an outstanding British cinematographer, laureate of the ‘Golden Frog’ for exceptional achievements in the art of cinematography at the Camerimage Festival in 2000,” tweeted the official X account of Camerimage, the Poland-based film festival dedicated to cinematography.

Williams also served as the director of photography on John Milius’ The Wind and the Lion (1975), Stuart Rosenberg’s Voyage of the Damned (1976), Martin Brest’s Going in Style (1979) and Peter Yates’ Suspect (1987).

Suddenly two of India’s most celebrated filmmakers are keen on making a bio-pic on the founding father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke.

Raj Kumar Hirani is all set to make the Dadasaheb biopic with Aamir Khan, while down South, the redoubtable S S Rajamouli is prepping to tell the Phalke saga with Ntr Jr. in the eponymous role.

The almost simultaneous timing of the two biopics on a man who was born 155 years ago seems more than a coincidence.

Sources close to the development have some somewhat startling details on the double Dadasaheb aspirations.

According to a source close to the development, Rajamouli was planning his biopic for more than two years. “Then he suddenly hears that Aamir Khan and Raju Hirani are doing it. This came as a shock to Rajamouli, and not a pleasant one. This is not the first time Rajamouli’s ambition was in the...

Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park" actually began its life as a 1983 screenplay about a graduate student that accidentally recreated a pterosaur in a lab. Crichton put it down, however, when he noticed the overwhelming volume of dinosaur media in the world. He picked it back up again when he realized that no one will ever get tired of dinosaurs and eventually turned his screenplay into his successful 1990 novel.

The rest is history. Steven Spielberg adapted "Jurassic Park" to film in 1993, and it became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. In the ensuing 32 years, Spielberg's film gave rise to six "Jurassic Park" sequels, two animated TV shows, two live-action shorts, and a merchandise empire that is only outstripped by those of Marvel and the "Star Wars" franchise.

The canonical, live-action entries in the "Jurassic Park" property are as follows:

Jurassic Park is one of those films in Steven Spielberg’s illustrious directorial filmography that will always stand out because of its intriguing subject, immaculate execution, and pathbreaking CGI. But did you know that a top Hollywood actor was once considered to play a major role in the film, but turned it down? Read on to know which popular Hollywood actor he was.

The Hollywood Actor Who Turned Down Spielberg’s Jurassic Park

It was none other than the iconic Hollywood actor Harrison Ford, who turned down an important role in Steven Spielberg’s cult film Jurassic Park. Harrison Ford was Steven Spielberg’s first choice for the role of Dr. Alan Grant. But as they say, every film has its destiny, and every character has an actor’s name stamped on it.

When Richard Attenborough first read Louis Fischer’s biography of Indian activist and attorney Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1960s, he was around 20 years into an acting career that included work with David Lean (“In Which We Serve”), Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (“A Matter of Life and Death”), and John Sturges (“The Great Escape”). Attenborough hadn’t directed anything himself at that point, but discovering Gandhi’s story gave him the desire to mount a biopic on the epic scale of his mentors.

It would take Attenborough another couple of decades to find the necessary funding, but when he finally made “Gandhi” in 1982, it was worth the wait, both for him and for audiences worldwide. A literate three-hour drama for adults that was, amazingly, a box-office blockbuster as well as an awards behemoth, “Gandhi” was one of those rare films that seemed to please just about everybody.

Whether you’re rewatching Jurassic Park for the hundredth time or jumping into the chaos of Jurassic World, there’s one thing the entire franchise does spectacularly: letting dinosaurs run wild and mess everything up. These movies aren’t about calm zoo tours; they’re about massive, ancient creatures stomping, chomping, and reminding humans they should’ve been left well enough alone. While the human characters may change from film to film, it’s always the dinosaurs that steal the show (and sometimes people’s limbs).

With the Jurassic World trilogy after the Park franchise, bringing in hybrid monsters like the Indominus Rex and Giganotosaurus, the danger level went off the charts. But not all threats come in the shape of a giant T Rex lookalike. Some sneak in through the bush, others fly in from above, and a few look so cute you’d want to pet them—until...

In the early- to mid-1970s, a number of prominent filmmakers found modest success with star-studded whodunnits. In 1972, Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine in a splendid adaptation of Anthony Shaffer's intricately plotted play "Sleuth." A year later, Herbert Ross directed the wickedly clever "The Last of Sheila," a mystery concocted by Anthony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim, and featuring such marquee names as James Coburn, Dyan Cannon, Richard Benjamin, Raquel Welch, and James Mason. Then in 1974, moviegoers got a double dose of Agatha Christie with Sidney Lumet's "Murder on the Orient Express", and Peter Collinson's "And Then There Were None".

There was no cultural development driving this sudden spate of whodunnits; it was just a reminder that people love to watch a bunch of great actors get thrown into the same location where foul play has been committed, and then try to work out...

Tomas Alfredson’s anticipated psychodrama “Séance on a Wet Afternoon,” starring Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (“The Favourite”), has been boarded by FilmNation ahead of the Cannes Film Market. Domestic rights are being repped by UTA Independent Film Group and CAA Media Finance.

Penned by “Adolescence” writer Jack Thorne, “Séance on a Wet Afternoon” is based on Mark McShane’s bestselling 1961 suspense novel of the same name. Weisz will star as Myra, a self-proclaimed medium who convinces her husband Billy to kidnap the son of a wealthy family so she can lead the police to the “missing” child and legitimize her psychic abilities. When Myra’s true intentions come to light, however, Billy realizes her plan threatens to consume them both.

The novel was previously adapted into a critically acclaimed 1964 film starring Richard Attenborough and Kim Stanley, who earned a best actress Oscar nomination for her performance.

Alfredson, who is best...

When Robert Downey Jr. was up for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the 96th Academy Awards for Oppenheimer, it was his third time getting nominated. He was first nominated for a movie three decades ago for the Best Actor category. He depicted the real-life legend Charlie Chaplin on the screen in Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin.

The film itself was not that great. Not all critics were happy, and the film bombed at the box office. But what none of them could deny was the brilliant performance of Downey Jr. in the titular role. The Iron Man actor shared that he was terrified of the role because of its challenging nature.

The majority of the political ramifications that occur within the "Star Wars" universe during the Rise of the Empire era are based on the development, construction, operation, and destruction of the original Death Star. First introduced to audiences in 1977 in "Star Wars: A New Hope" (and chronologically through its schematics in "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones"), this space station and superweapon was the physical embodiment of the Empire's supremacy over the galaxy.

Naturally, the construction and operations of the Death Star would cost, well, an astronomical amount of money. As Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) from "Jurassic Park" would say, the Empire "spared no expense" regarding the superweapon that destroyed the planet Alderaan. But what would the actual budget for the space station be, vis-à-vis the Imperial credit-to-u.S. dollar conversion?
