Denzel Washington to Star in ‘Gladiator 2’

música
Ridley Scott’s long-awaited Gladiator sequel has gotten a big boost of star power with the news that Denzel Washington is in talks to co-star in the film. Washington was not a part of the original Gladiator, the 2000 historical epic that became the Academy Award winner for Best Picture that year. He has worked with Scott before; he starred in his 2007 film, American Gangster (which co-starred original Gladiator actor Russell Crowe). And Washington had an even longer relationship with Ridley Scott’s brother, the late Tony Scott, with whom he made numerous thrillers, including Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. According to Deadline, Washington is in “final negotiations” for a starring role in the f...

A New Film Reveals How the ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’ Happened

música, news
If you thought Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was bad, you ain’t seen nothing. The Rise of Skywalker was practically The Empire Strikes Back — hell, it was practically The Godfather — compared to The Star Wars Holiday Special, still the most notorious disaster in the history of Star Wars. The TV special was made in 1978 by CBS, and was technically the first official continuation of Star Wars after the original 1977 film. It was also an abject horror show, with bizarre musical numbers, random guest stars, horrible special effects, and a tedious story about Chewbacca heading to his home to celebrate “Life Day” — his planet’s equivalent of Christmas. The special aired only once, and was such a titanic failure that it was nev...

Watch Roger Ebert Predict The Rock Would Be a Huge Movie Star

Dwayne Johnson is now the the biggest movie star in the world, literally and otherwise. For years he has remained at our near the top of lists of the highest-paid actors, thanks to a string of hits like Fast Five, Moana, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Johnson’s success is all the more impressive because he came to Hollywood by way of professional wrestling, which to that point had had produced exactly zero crossover movie stars. Sure, a wrestler might have one good supporting role here or there (like Andre the Giant in The Princess Bride), or they might pick up some work doing action films, but even the sport’s biggest names, like Hulk Hogan and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, fizzled out quickly as leading men. Several other WWE wrestlers have follow...
