Disney secretly owns nearly all the homes on the east side of Keystone Street, creating a living picture of single-family paradise in sunny Los Angeles. The long run of houses, driveways and front lawns looks that way because the Walt Disney Company demands it.

"Cinematic Immunity" offers a workers'-eye view of Hollywood on the Hudson, revealing the intricate dynamics of filmmaking in New York City from 1954 to 9/11.

'Deep Cuts' follows a romance between two young music lovers in the 2000s. The film is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Holly Brickley.

I have long been in awe of fighters, and astounded by the discipline, intensity and isolation the sport demands of them. I am excited to explore this world, especially so with A24 as my collaborators.

I will respect Frank Herbert's idea to jump in time. That's what I would love to do. The [first] Dune book ends with the beginning of something that is out of control, and I thought this was a very powerful ending. I feel that both movies complete the adaptation of the book, and I feel very good about that.

He has brought up tariffs for the movie and television industry many times, and I've hopefully talked to him the way out of them. Healthy incentive programs attract a lot of production, and you've seen a lot of them move from California to Georgia to New Jersey. Having the incentives versus tariffs is much better.

So proud to be a part of this A Quiet Place Family... old and new! Here we go!

The Hunt for Gollum is a new theatrical movie in the Lord of the Rings franchise, currently set for a December 17, 2027, release date. Andy Serkis, of course, will reprise his role as Gollum; Ian McKellen recently confirmed that he had been approached to reprise his role of Gandalf, and there are even rumors of Elijah Wood.

It's with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I'm finally able to share this. Honoured and ecstatic don't begin to express how I feel.

It's far from lucrative, but a behind-the-scenes glimpse of actors 'mastering their craft' on hit shows makes it worthwhile for the people who do it On a grey day in a remote forest, a bus pulls up and dozens of extras spill out in puffer jackets and trainers. Within an hour, they will be transformed into Norse peasants waiting for Vikings to ride into a built village. They have left their homes before dawn, and most will not be back for 10 or 12 hours.

Everyone in Half Moon Bay seemed to know that something was going on. Some saw the casting call for extras circulating on Nextdoor: locals only, appearing to be ages 20 to 50. Others noticed the street closures on Tuesday, as heavy rains pummeled the small city. And a few, biking on the bluffs overlooking Wavecrest Beach on Wednesday, stumbled across a film crew clustered under a row of canopies, complete with a camera crane and several generators.

I wrote and directed the Mel Gibson film Payback but got fired during post-production. It was my first film as director and I thought my career was over. It was during this downtime that I wrote A Knight's Tale. I loved the idea that jousting tournaments were medieval sports, but I had never figured out what to do with it.

So many tourists he picks up want to talk about the hit comedy and, as a fan himself, he's happy to oblige. We're stuck in traffic, which is odd for this small city on a wet Tuesday morning. It's because all the media are here, he jokes. But there is some truth to it. I'm visiting for the world premiere of How to Get to Heaven from Belfast,

"Every time people visit San Francisco, they're blown away by our city's beauty and energy," said Lurie in a statement. "Film takes that feeling and carries it far beyond our city limits. And when productions choose San Francisco, they do more than showcase our city's outstanding beauty. They invest directly in our workers, our neighborhoods and our creative economy."

The 1993 erotic thriller Sliver should have ended differently: Zeke, played by William Baldwin, was scripted to fly a helicopter towards an active volcano, after Sharon Stone's character, Carly, reveals she's the killer. The pilot, Craig Hosking, had been tasked with flying low over Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, accompanied by the director of photography, Mike Benson, and his assistant Christopher Duddy, to film the bubbling lava and white plumes of smoke escaping from the Puu Oo vent.

PARK CITY, UTAH - San Francisco may be one of the most cinematic cities in the world, but it isn't necessarily the easiest place to film a movie. Or is it? This year's Sundance Film Festival saw two breakout hits that filmed in the city: "Josephine," which was filmed fully in SF, and "The Invite," which spent two days in the city on location. Along with the recent filming of "Artificial" and 2024's "Man on the Inside," there's a growing mound of evidence that despite popular belief, San Francisco can be a welcome place for filmmakers.

Swift also allegedly offered her status as one of the world's famous entertainers in the world to urge Baldoni, Lively's so-called doofus director, to use a revised version of an early scene in the script that Lively said she helped write, according to Lively's deposition in the case. I'll do anything for you, Swift reportedly said, according to the deposition.

It's nice that you are asking about props, because they're not really acknowledged, says Jode Mann, a TV prop master in Los Angeles. When Mann worked on the children's comedy show Pee-wee's Playhouse in the 1980s, she got a call from its star, Paul Reubens, who said he was nominating her for an Emmy. It was only after Mann told her mother and promised to thank her if she won that Reubens called back to say he couldn't nominate her because there's no category for you.

"By reinvesting in downtown Shreveport and upgrading existing assets to create state-of-the-art entertainment and production facilities, we are creating jobs, inspiring hope, attracting new productions, and giving the entire entertainment industry a reason to build their futures right here," said Jackson in a press release. "My goal is to turn Northwest Louisiana into the premier destination for film, music, and live entertainment on a national scale. All Roads Lead to Shreveport."

Every epic romance needs its stage, but the Canadian phenomenon Heated Rivalry built an entire global arena. The television series, which has quickly moved from queer TikTok to just about everywhere beyond and spawned a thousand "meeting at the cottage" memes in the process, follows rival hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as they navigate a narrative that's part coming-of-age saga, part fever dream in which Toronto masquerades as Manhattan, Hamilton doubles for Russia.

I met the dude at [a] dinner with his wife, who was genuinely a wonderful person and he was thinking of moving to Los Angeles and being a movie producer, Allen said. Really? an amused Maher said. Allen said the dinner with the president and Melania Trump happened around his last or second-to-last season starring on The Apprentice which would put the meal in the 2014-15 range. And he was talking about movies. He said I really like the film business.'

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

"We had a stand-in ass and a fake paddle that supposedly would not put the full force," O'Leary said. "All of a sudden, Chalamet came on set and said, 'No, if this ass is going to be immortalized, it's my ass.'"

I don't think it's super kosher copacetic to just kind of rob freely under the auspices of acceleration or China,

It was in a market square in the Colombian city of Cartagena when Georgi Banks-Davies wondered if she had bitten off more than she could chew. The director of The Night Manager's second series was shooting a scene in the bustling location, with just a few minutes to capture the action. Her lead actors, Tom Hiddleston, who returns as the traumatised spy Jonathan Pine, and Diego Calva, his new nemesis, had to walk among market-goers who at first were peering down the camera lens.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dennis Maguire, who worked as Rob Reiner's first assistant director on "Misery" and the reshoots for "Stand By Me." On Sunday, Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Los Angeles home. The following has been edited for length and clarity. People liked Rob, and Rob liked people. He enjoyed life, and I know he gave back. Rob wasn't really flashy. Yes, he was born into royalty in Hollywood, but he wasn't pretentious at all, at least not in my experience with him. He was the real deal.

Hollywood director Carl Erik Rinsch was convicted on Thursday of defrauding Netflix out of $11 milion (8.2m) for a science fiction show that never got made. A federal jury in Manhattan found Rinsch guilty on multiple counts of wire fraud and money laundering, concluding that Rinsch, 48, had siphoned off the funds intended for his long-delayed series White Horse and used them to fund a life of luxury.
