STAR WARS---celebrating the original movie's premiere on May 25, 1977, production crew members reminisced about its filming.
David Lester, spaceship explosion specialist, said 20th Century Fox executives boarded a bus after watching the movie when filming in London had finished, "About two hours into the session, this sad looking bunch of Fox executives — they looked like sad penguins — they all went down to that bus. I think they thought they had the world's greatest piece of sh*t on their hands."
Garrick Hagon, who played Rebel pilot Biggs Darklighter, commented on working with Alec Guiness, “I didn’t really have a lot to do with him, I just sat beside him in awe, but I told him I’d worked with him once before as a child and I expected that to maybe start off a conversation but he just said, ‘That’s a long time ago,’ and that was pretty much the end of that conversation, so we just sat in silence."
Richard L. Anderson, sound effects engineer, said George Lucas used film footage from World War II movies that would later be replaced by X-Wing and TIE fighters, "When I was hired, there were still two airplane shots left in the reels. It was funny to be engrossed in this high-tech space battle and then suddenly cut to a German Stuka diving towards Poland during the Blitzkreig. I wonder if a copy of the original cut, with only duped airplanes, still exists. That should go in a museum."
Christopher Tucker, an animatronics specialist said he and Stewart Freeborn, another animatronics specialist who worked on the apes in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, designed Chewbacca because George Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz didn't know what Chewbacca should look like, "Chewbacca ended up looking a bit like a monkey originally. From that, we decided the only thing we could do was get a body suit, knotted with hair like a gigantic wig, so we had all these long-haired body suits and it fitted on a part-time hospital porter. His name was Peter Mayhew. He was 7'10 or something. He was very tall and so that was how Chewbacca got born."
Publicity assistant Craig Miller said 20th Century Fox tried to promote the movie using Marvel Comics writer Roy Thomas and artist Howard Chaykin, from the STAR WARS comic book, at a table selling STAR WARS posters, "I think they were $1.75 and that poster now is still available on the collector's market — and it's one of the two most expensive posters you can buy on the collector market because people didn't keep them. It sells for two or three thousand dollars now."
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI---Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo commented on the movie's lightsaber, “Either way, the blade is no longer considered Anakin’s lightsaber by the Lucasfilm marketing department. It has now been officially dubbed ‘Rey’s’.”
Also, Joseph Fiennes claimed Ewan McGregor got the Obi-wan Kenobi role because of the director's daughter, “I auditioned for a great director. It was whittled down after many auditions to myself and another fine actor [Ewan McGregor] who I was at that time at drama school with. [At the final audition, I met] a lovely, delightful child. Must’ve been around age five — and he introduced me, ‘this is Joe and he’s quite possibly Obi-Wan Kenobi.’ His daughter turned around and said ‘I don’t like this guy. He’s weird. I don’t like him.’ And that’s how my audition went.”
TOP GUN 2---Tom Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski, who worked together on OBLIVION, are expected to reunite for the TOP GUN sequel. Kosinski also directed TRON: LEGACY.
Val Kilmer said that he's ready to return as Iceman for the sequel by posting a photo of him wearing an Iceman t-shirt and a caption.
"friends said it's official - #TOPGUN2 was announced today. I'm ready Tom- still got my top gun plaque! Still got the moves! Still got it!"
THE BATMAN---a source gave the following rumor about the movie, "Although there have been rumors of the script being thrown out, there have been rumors around the executives that Matt Reeves wants to incorporate many Batman villains. These villains will include Deathstroke, Joker, and Scarecrow. The studio has already been working on Deathstroke (obviously) and has mockups of a potential new Scarecrow.”
Another rumor concerned THE FLASH, “The script has been completed and approved after MANY drafts and rewrites. The studio has finally approved a very good script, with some calling it ‘a perfect coming of age story regarding a young man trying to control his power’. There have not been that much more conversation regarding this film, although they have been very excited.”
JOHN WICK 3---director Chad Stahelski said the third movie in the franchise is underway, "We’re currently in the middle of writing it right now…It’s more of a how fast can we get our sh*t together. But I would assume that if not by the end of this year, the beginning of next year.”
THE DARK TOWER---Stephen King said an Easter egg for the movie includes a character from another of his novels will appear in THE DARK TOWER, “If viewers who are familiar with my work look very closely, they might see Cujo. Keep an eye out for Cujo in New York City.”
THE NEW MUTANTS---director Josh Boone commented on the movie, "We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe,” Boone says. “There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.”
Rumors claim Rosario Dawson and Henry Zaga will join the cast.
MAJOR LEAGUE 3---Charlie Sheen said most of the original cast is ready to return for the sequel if funding can be found, “We’re looking to get MAJOR LEAGUE 3 done...We’re just looking for someone to write a check.” Sheen said David Ward, the original movie's director, will write and direct the sequel.
KUDZU ZOMBIES---synopsis released for the latest zombie movie:
"Kudzu was originally brought to the U.S. as an ornamental plant in the 19th century, but was used planted heavily by southern states for erosion control and as a cheap feed for livestock. The vine turned out to be a real survivor type and began to dominate the American South, choking off the native species of plants and making it tough to farm the land. Enter GloboBioTech, a large agrochemical corporation that has chosen Charleston to test its new herbicide, Quadoxin, that’s been designed to kill the foreign and invasive Kudzu vine (and nothing else) once and for all. Only this year Quadoxin unwittingly enters the human food chain. Creighton’s goats have been feeding on the kudzu and the herbicide metabolizes in their bodies. Once humans consume the goat meat it turns them into zombies — “Kudzu Zombies.” While “healthy eaters” like vegans, vegetarians, and those who didn’t eat the meat pies are untouched by the chemical change, they are now forced to defend themselves against their friends and fellow town citizens who are turning into zombies left and right, eventually becoming a large horde of killer Kudzu Zombies. Will the survivors find a way to safety and be able to alert others to the horror of Kudzu Zombies?"
THE EXTINCTS---animated movie underway based on the young adult novel about a boy on a secluded farm who discovers supposedly extinct, mythological creatures.
WONDER---Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Mandy Patinkin star in this movie about a disfigured boy who changes the lives of others.
CLEOPATRA---synopsis released for the Amazon tv series underway from the creators of BLACK SAILS, “After nearly losing her life in a bloody coup, Cleopatra must use her natural wit and political genius to take back her throne and restore honor to her family and kingdom”.
THE GET DOWN---Netflix canceled the series.
