https://stayclose.social/RobynBain40734/ Latest updates from Robyn Bain https://stayclose.social/blog/134344/behind-the-scenes-of-tron-legacy-the-actors-talk-about-making-the-film/ Some New Gods fans have lamented that Thanos will likely hit the big screen before Darkseid, which could make Darkseid’s inevitable appearance in a DC movie less impactful. Then again, it’s entirely possible - if DC gets its movie-making act together, that is - that both Thanos and Darkseid could appear in The Avengers 2 and Justice League , respectively, around the same time, as the two tent-pole superhero projects are expected to hit theaters in 2

It's worth noting that this isn't the first time rumors about an Obi-Wan spinoff have popped up online. Rumors that the character would appear as a Force Ghost in Force Awakens (then known as Episode VII ) began to circulate back in Summer 2013, along with a report that asserted McGregor was pushing for Obi-Wan to get his own standalone feature.

David Fincher had an incredible challenge adapting the novel Gone Girl to film, but the opening shot is a hard one to forget. Showing what should be a loving scene between a husband and wife, star Rosamund Pike’s sudden stare into the camera and Ben Affleck’s narration put audiences on edge, warning them that the story about to unfold was anything but simple. A kidnapping, lies, and murder all led the estranged couple back to eachother, forced to decide just how willing they were to keep lying for the sake of a marriage – and public perception. Having the couple end up right back where they started from may have been a hard pill for viewers to swallow, but Fincher makes the message loud and clear, ending the movie with the exact same shot he opened on – but the audience’s opinion of the woman in frame has completely chan


There are multiple theories circulating the web about all the connections between Disney and Pixar films, and certain easter eggs lend more credence to these theories than others.

No other actor embodies the age of American Westerns like John Wayne, Https://Gamedealhq.com/ with his role as Ethan Edwards in The Searchers considered one of his finest roles. The film opens inside a West Texas homestead, revealing a stunning landscape as Ethan first returns home after leaving years earlier to fight in the Civil War. When his brother’s family is killed not long after, and their two daughters kidnapped, Ethan sets off to find them no matter how long it may take. The youngest daughter Debbie is finally tracked down years later, and Ethan personally delivers brings her back home. Although it’s technically a different home, she is welcomed with open arms, and the future, for once, looks bright. With no place for an aging soldier inside, Ethan is left to walk into the wild all by himself. The shot is a perfect mirror of the one which started the film, and director John Ford’s iconic closing image is just one of the reasons The Searchers would go on to be seen by many as a masterpiece, and one of the greatest films ever m


... On the other hand, we've also long heard that Lawrence Kasdan - screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back and co-writer on The Force Awakens - is the one penning the Boba Fett movie ; meaning, Edwards' spinoff (as written by Whitta) could well revolve around the operation to steal the original Death Star's plans, but it might not involve Jango Fett's "son"/clone (or any bounty hunters for that matt


Now known as one of the greatest action movies of all time, it's easy to forget the softer side of Die Hard hero John McClane. When the New York cop flies to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his family, he brings a gift with him: a large stuffed bear, complete with a red ribbon tied around its neck. If the movie followed the novel it was based on, that bear should have made it to John's daughter, but director John McTiernan never got to show that scene. Apparently, nothing said fatherly love to the director like a teddy bear, since his next movie The Hunt For Red October doubled down on the idea. When Jack Ryan had saved the day and headed home to his wife and daughter, he did what any good dad would do: picked up a teddy bear of his own, red ribbon and

It's established early on in The Princess and the Frog that southern belle Charlotte La Bouff has an obsession with storybook princesses, and especially their dresses, which is how she comes to be friends with Tiana, the daughter of a seamstress. When Tiana kisses a frog claiming to be a prince, and makes a mess of Charlotte's room after breaking the spell doesn't go according to plan, more of Charlotte's book collection can be seen. If you look closely, one storybook on a shelf is revealed to be Rapunzel, the fairytale Disney's next princess film would focus on in Tangled , giving a nod to the following rele


For an added level of fun for fans, movies and television shows have been known to include easter eggs or subtle references that only the most diligent of viewers will find. But, Disney and Pixar take the inclusion of easter eggs and hidden details to another level. For example, Pixar includes references in its films to the next movie slated for release from the studio, while both Disney and Pixar often include easter eggs of other Mouse House characters in their animated featu


Most of the hidden easter eggs inside Disney movies only manage to reference one movie at a time, but one shot in Tangled features nods to three other princess films. When Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are poring over an atlas while at the festival of lights in Corona, books referencing other films can be seen. One open book displays the story from the opening sequence of Sleeping Beauty , and two others are the storybooks containing the tales of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid . It's unclear if Rapunzel has read the fairytales of her fellow Disney princesses, but it's a nicely hidden references to their fi


To be clear, movies on our list are more than simple easter eggs (such as the Egyptian etching of R2-D2 and C-3PO in Raiders of the Lost Ark ), set/costume designs that might not have been an actual "message" to the audience (like the The Bride's "F*** You" sneaker soles in Kill Bill, Vol. 1 ), or Illuminati/thematic abstractions about the "true meaning" behind a particular film (i.e. Harry Potter is a platform for anti-family subliminal messaging). For our purposes, we're focusing on frames, text, and audio that is literally hidden in each mo


Look, in my own opinion, I've never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we've never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before - and if we're going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan's spirit doesn't seem like all that bad of a cameo to


Backstory: When Simba flops down on a cliffside, a cloud of dust is pushed out into the air - where, for a brief second, a series of three controversial letters appear. For years, the frame was scrutinized as a subliminal message ( SEX ) intended to promote sexuality to children. However, the film's animators have since claimed that the letters were intended to spell SFX - a nod to the Lion King 's special effects departm


George Lucas knew that the Millennium Falcon was as iconic as anything else in his original trilogy, so when it came time to flesh out the world of Naboo in Attack of the Clones , he didn't disappoint. Fans can spot not one, but three Corellian YT-1300 light freighters in Naboo's spaceport. It's apparently a more popular model than you might think, but in the following movie, fans can catch the real Falcon landing on Coruscant, years before Han Solo would ever get behind the wh


Backstory: While on their mission to the Sun, the Icarus II crew receives a distress signal from the long-missing Icarus I and decides to rendezvous with the ship. When Capa (Cillian Murphy), Searle (Cliff Curtis), Harvey (Troy Garity), and Mace (Chris Evans) board the Icarus I, their flashlights periodically shine directly into the camera (and out at the audience). At each instance, roughly 49 minutes into the film, director Danny Boyle spliced in hidden frames of (now deceased) Icarus I crew memb

Backstory: In the final moments of Cloverfield , Rob and Beth seek refuge from the creature under Central Park's Greyshot Arch. Moments later, an air raid strike buries the couple (and the camera) in rubble from the bridge - presumably killing the Cloverfield monster. However, following the film credits, director Matt Reeves included a brief, 5-second, piece of garbled audio that hints at a different outcome. When reversed, the audio recording (which sounds like a military mission report) clearly states: "It's Still Alive" - indicating that the creature was not killed in the airstrike (while also setting the stage for a possible, though yet to be released, Cloverfield

If you look closely at the bulletin board in Andy's room, there's a postcard from the couple that includes the address of their beloved yellow house, before it's transported to South America, of cou


In the Marvel comic book universe, Thanos is considered to be one of the major villains, though perhaps not quite top-tier. Visually-speaking, he’s a bit derivative of Jack Kirby’s Darkseid from the New Gods of the DC Universe. Thanos’ creator, Jim Starlin, admitted as much in an intervi


"[Gale has] written six Stab books and she has writer's block, and she's pretty bored, pretty miserable, pretty desperate, and all of a sudden some murders start happening and her life starts to look up. She likes a good murd


The 2013 Disney film, Frozen , catapulted to massive popularity with help from the catchy and inspirational "Let It Go." The film also features a handful of references to previous Disney and Pixar movies, like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled attending Elsa's coronation. Some even argue Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog also attend the event.

At Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna a wooden figurine of Mike Wazowski is sitting on the counter, while a Micky Mouse doll is hidden on a shelf. However, Anna decides to buy winterwear instead of these references to other Disney and Pixar characters, which we're sure was the best cho


In the video, Courteney Cox reveals some minor plot details about her character, Gale Weathers, and her character’s husband, Dewey, played by her actual husband, David Arquette. Apparently, in the new movie, Gale has given up her career in broadcast journalism to marry Dewey and write books for a liv


Although most of the film is set on a remote tropical island, Cast Away begins in the heart of Texas, introducing an unknown woman sending a FedEx package. The choice makes sense when the camera follows a FedEx package from there all the way to Russia, where the film’s hero Chuck Noland is introduced. When Chuck finally makes it back to civilization, little of his old life remains, and he decides to start over from scratch – but first, he has to return a package that washed ashore on his desert island along with him. That brings him to the exact same intersection the movie opened on, where Chuck finally encounters the woman who he says saved his life.
