Demme Filled The Cast With Lucky Charms, Mentors And CrewWhile Foster and Hopkins are given their proper due for their tremendous performances, the entire cast of The Silence of the Lambs is fantastic. To fill out all the roles, Demme made some fun and meaningful choices. Demme cast his “lucky charm” Charles Napier as one of guards who is killed by Lecter. Per IMDb, Napier had been in every Demme film between 1977’s Citizens Band and Silence of the Lambs (he would star in nine Demme films in total). He...

Once in a while, a meme goes viral and takes the world by storm. Many have come and gone, and the most recent has put Bernie Sanders at the forefront. The U.S. senator was one of many to attend the recent Presidential Inauguration of Joe Biden and, during the event, someone snapped a photo of Sanders sitting and bundled up, complete with a warm-looking set of mittens. Since the image hit the web, many have taken the senator’s likeness and placed it in various settings, leading to some incredible memes....

I definitely look back on it fondly. It was a challenge, in that the script was changing at a certain point.... There was a certain point early on where the story shifted. A new writer was brought in and things were changed. And so, I had met Jyn Erso’s character one way, and they even used it in the trailers where I say, ‘Hello, Cassian said you are a friend. I will not kill you.’ And people, when I would go to Comic-Cons would say, ‘Could you write that?’ I’m...

Multiple Characters Throughout Multiple Titles In The Video Game Series Will Play A Major Role In The StoryThat said, it wouldn’t be Mortal Kombat without the fan favorites. As of right now, the ones who are definitely confirmed are Sonya Blade, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kano, Liu Kang, Jax, Shang Tsung, Mileena, Kung Lao, Nitara (Interesting) and Kabal (Yes!). Now, if you’re looking at that list of characters, you’re probably wondering, wait, where’s Johnny Cage? Where’s Shinnok? No love for Ermac? I can’t even get me some Bo Rai Cho in...

Under the pandemic, where two-thirds of U.S. theaters are still closed, big movies have struggled to make any money. After a month in theaters, Wonder Woman 1984 has only made $142.5 million, with only $35 million coming from the domestic market. By comparison, 2017’s Wonder Woman made $822 million globally, with about half of its earnings coming from domestic dollars. Tenet, last summer’s only blockbuster, made $363 million worldwide against a production budget of over $200 million....

A new website dedicated to Monarch, the human organization that studies the massive kaiju in the current film franchise, has gone live, and while the site itself is incredibly simple, it should get fans pumped for the upcoming movie. The site looks like any other professional website with a home page asking guests to enter to learn more about the Monarch organization. However, once you click "Enter" the page goes into an alert mode, a klaxon begins to sound and the following image is splashed across the page....

Serving as a direct sequel to the original two Ghostbusters movies (unlike 2016’s Ghostbusters, which was a full-on reboot), Ghostbusters: Afterlife sees a single mother and her two children moving to a farm in Summerville, Oklahoma, and in the midst of some unexplained earthquakes, the kids uncover their family’s connection to the original Ghostbusters. Its main cast includes Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Paul Rudd, Logan Kim and Celeste O’Connor, as well as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts all reprising their respective roles....

When it comes to modern franchises, we generally see directors staying with successful franchises for the sequels. Patty Jenkins has directed both Wonder Woman movies so far, and she's already signed for the third. The first two Thor movies had different directors, but following Taika Waititi's success with Thor: Ragnarok, he was locked in for the next one as well. As a producer, Colin Trevorrow certainly could have directed Fallen Kingdom if he'd wanted to, but instead he let somebody else do it. We might have expected somebody entirely new...

The 41-year-old actress and comedian has been saying “She Ready” for as long as we can remember and quickly made the catchphrase and instant association we have with her. One of her comedy specials, which aired on Showtime in 2017, was titled Tiffany Haddish: She Ready! From the Hood to Hollywood. Haddish has also used the words to create her Netflix comedy series They Ready, as well as for her recently launched She Ready internship program. So it belongs right on her head, for sure....

The genre faced a major shakeup when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, with fans hoping to see heroes like the Fantastic Four and Deadpool join the MCU. It was recently revealed that Ryan Reynolds' R-rated character will be doing just that, and now Colossus actor Stefan Kapicic has responded to the...

Ok, hear me out: this could be a really fun direction for Liam Neeson to go in next. The actor has been playing different versions of this hardened hero archetype for eons, so I would not mind seeing him go in a comedic direction with it after he’s all tired out from all the serious stunts. If you’re unfamiliar with The Naked Gun film series, it was from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and based on the Police Squad! show, following Detective Frank Dreblin, a bumbling and hollow-minded official...

If there was ever a time when you knew Don Cheadle by his face, but not his name, I would hope that seeing him show up in Iron Man 2 as War Machine put an end to that. Yet, as any other Marvel movie star can surely relate to, the actor would spend a good deal of his career’s infancy as merely a face we couldn't quite put a name to.Luckily, the 56-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri, has become one of the most acclaimed stars of both the big and...

An Education - IMDb TVFittingly enough, the film that represents Carey Mulligan’s lone Oscar nomination to date (something Promising Young Woman may change) is available to enjoy, as 2009’s An Education can be watched for free (with ads) on IMDb TV. Directed by Lone Scherfig, An Education sees Mulligan star as Jenny Mellor, a teenage girl who becomes involved with an older man (Peter Sarsgaard), who reveals different aspects of life in 1960s suburban London to her. Alfred Molina, Olivia Williams, Dominic Cooper and Rosamund Pike co-star. An Education received...

Michelle Pfeiffer (Selina Kyle – Batman Returns, Janet Van Dyne, Ant-Man and the Wasp)Last, but certainly not least, is Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in the highly underrated Batman Returns. With her catlike movements and fantastic acting, she probably pulls off the anti-heroine better than any other actress who's played the role. So, it was an absolute pleasure to see her return to the comic universe, but this time as Janet van Dyne, a.k.a., the first Wasp (Evangeline Lilly plays the second such hero). While we never really get to see...
