Val Kilmer was cast in 'As Deep As the Grave' before his death, with an AI voice created from his old recordings and a visual deepfake developed in collaboration with his estate.

In the new film, he plays a hit man named Mike who is attempting to leave the business when he's framed for murder. He's sleeping with loan shark Nick's wife Alice, so Nick tricks him into pulling off one last job.

I'd love to play that character. Red Dead is a fantastic game. It's interesting because I didn't really have too much of an opportunity to get that heavily invested in the gaming culture... when I did get the rare opportunity, Red Dead was certainly one of the games that spoke to me.

"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.

Jack Black stated, "It would be, like, too easy to make them into great movies," expressing his belief that the cinematic nature of the games lends itself well to film adaptations.

Worthington describes his career as bizarre, stating, 'I've never had a plan in that regard. I think people have looked at my career and gone, 'What the f*** is he doing?''

The app is incredibly simple. I made use of the wonderful SimpleCSS for my design and then made use of the TMDB API. The TMDB APIs are pretty easy to use, but finding out how to get this information did take a bit of digging.

In a statement posted on social media, the family said it was keeping the circumstances around his death private, but added that the 86-year-old was surrounded by his family and was at peace.

He was the actor I wanted to play this role. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest. But Kilmer was unable to make it to set due to his battle with throat cancer. The film-maker is working in conjunction with the late actor's estate and his daughter, Mercedes, to bring Kilmer back to life with state-of-the-art, generative AI.

He was the actor I wanted to play this role. It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest. Voorhees emphasized that Kilmer had really wanted to participate in the filming, but was just going through a really, really tough time medically, and he couldn't do it.

The Fast Saga was born out of the creativity and community of Los Angeles car culture. Even as the series grew into a global phenomenon, the heart of the franchise has always been rooted in the city.

Cinematography isn't about beautiful images. It's about producing a whole series of images that serve a story. If I come out of a premiere and somebody says, 'Oh, I love the shot when such and such ...' I know I've made a mistake.

As the man who served as Kurt Russell's stunt driving double on Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof,' Buddy Joe Hooker deserves Hollywood canonization. There are few modern films featuring car stunts as impressive as those he choreographed and performed in Tarantino's imaginative, high-octane exploitation tribute.

I was floating around this idea in my head, I knew I wanted to tell a story about the last 24 hours of the simulated mission as part of the Army Ranger selection program. Then I had this horrific nightmare where I was being stalked in a forest with rain and lightning, and I just saw the foot of this giant metallic beast, and it was stalking me, and it had this laser that was sweeping over.

Crime 101 lifts heavily from the oeuvre of Michael Mann, particularly Heat, in setting this thriller in Los Angeles. The "101" in its title is for the 101 freeway, which our solitary jewel thief, Mike (Chris Hemsworth), uses to make clean getaways. That anyone could carve out a life of crime in a metropolis so choked by traffic is a silly concept at best, and the first of many plot holes at worst.

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.

I'm able to give this character the things that I want to be able to give this character, then you have the right guy. Russell says of his process in finding the vibe of the men he plays, emphasizing his intentional approach to embodying reluctant heroes across both Marvel and the Monsterverse.

The role, which spanned nine films, put him up among the world's highest paid actors and made him a global pin-up. Yet the confidence was, in part, a construction. The character you see in interviews, he says, easing into the chaise longue, and the presentation of myself over the last two decades working in Hollywood, it's me but it's a creation too. It's what I thought people wanted to see.

Is that his character from Babylon? No, that guy's dead (sorry). Is it Bullet Train 2? No, that movie doesn't exist yet. Toward the end of the trailer, however, Pitt's character slams down an Academy Award and that's when it all hit: That's Cliff Booth, the character for which Pitt won his Best Supporting Oscar in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. Booth is back, but this time he's on Netflix.

While the MCU's initial films were relatively loyal to their source material, the films and shows have since paved their own path, and Wonder Man is the latest hero to get a total revamp. In the comics, he gains his powers via exposure to ionic radiation. In his Disney+ debut, however, we never learn how he gained his super strength or his ability to generate ionic pulses - but he might have been born with it.

At the box office earlier this month, four out of the five top-grossing movies were not from big companies. There was Solo Mio, an inspirational romantic drama starring Kevin James from the faith-based distributor Angel Studios; a filmed concert from the K-pop group Stray Kids; and a French adaptation of Dracula from the director Luc Besson that had already made big money overseas.

Family might be forever, but the Fast & Furious saga doesn't have quite so much gas in the tank. After upping the ante for three decades, the biggest action franchise of the century has finally reached the end of the road. Back in 2020, star Vin Diesel announced that the Fast saga would conclude with a two-part finale. We got Fast X in 2023, and though its follow-up was meant to premiere in 2025, the franchise has hit a few snags along the way.
