Jeff Garlin on His First Comedy Inspiration and New Netflix Movie Handsome

Image
ABC’s The Goldbergs star Jeff Garlin uses his acting, writing, producing and directing talents in the mystery movie Handsome , now streaming on Netflix. Garlin plays a bumbling homicide detective who is sharper than people think. The Chicago-born comic, 54, will also return to his role as Larry David‘s manager on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm later this year. What sparked the idea for Handsome? It started with talking to the head of Netflix about how much I loved Columbo. We also talked about doing a stand-up special in a unique way. So I was combining a stand­up special with a Columbo-type thing, but I cut the stand-up. You have two sons in real life—James, 20, and Duke, 16. How would you compare your parenting style to your character Murray on The Goldbergs? I am a very loving father and I don’t call my kids names. On the flip side, my kids are the same age as the kids on the show, so when I come home, I say, “Did I leave work? What the heck’s going on?” lt kind of blurs the

You Will See Me In A Whole Different Light In The Next Few Years: Dave Bautista

Image
Wrestler turned actor Dave Bautista, who is currently featuring in Guardians of the Galaxy series, says in the coming years he will evolve more as an actor, thanks to his role in the Guardians of the Galaxy films.  "They are actual actor roles...That is some of the stuff that I fought really hard for and they are the doors that 'Guardians...' opened for me. They showed my range as an actor and not just a musclehead," Bautista said during an interview. "I fought hard not to get typecast and these are the doors that are opening for me. In the next few years, you will see me a whole different light." He added. Talking about his works and future projects, Bautista said, "I have worked a lot in the last few years actually. It has not been released yet and this year also I will continue." "I am very proud of the role I play in 'Blade Runner 2049'. I am proud of being a part of the project with such brilliant actors. I will also be

India's 'Baahubali 2' set to compete Hollywood movies

Image
Dozens of animators work into the night in India's southern city of Hyderabad, fuelled by caffeine and huddled over computer screens in a darkened studio to put the finishing touches on India's biggest and most ambitious film. The makers of ' Baahubali 2 ' hope its top-notch visual effects will wean Indian audiences from Hollywood blockbusters, enticing them with the magical kingdoms, rampaging armies and towering palaces of a home grown fantasy epic. "If art was easy, everybody would do it," said Pete Draper, co-founder of Makuta VFX, which is stitching the film's live-action scenes together with computer-generated imagery. "Every single shot has its own challenges. Working hours right now are crazy. We are finishing daily at 4am." Agencies that closely track the box office say 'Baahubali 2' is the most highly awaited Indian film of the decade. But the competition for Spider-Man and other movie franchises from overseas isn't

Here’s an Amazing Short that Bridges Prometheus and Alien: Covenant

Image
Fox released a prologue short to Alien: Covenant called The Crossing and in it we find out what happened to Dr. Elisabeth Shaw and David after Prometheus . Now that’s what I call a tease, too bad Alien: Covenant isn’t just this, David and Elizabeth Shaw going after the Engineers. What we see here will only be a small part of Alien: Covenant, with most of the action revolving around the crew of the colony ship Covenant. Now say what you will about the rest of Prometheus (I personally liked the movie), but that ending was very promising and it’s actually what I’m most looking forward to seeing in Covenant, the David and Elizabeth parts. What the hell happened with the Engineers (I’m guessing something bad happened to Elizabeth and David did not take it well) and how does that tie into the Covenant story (they might have landed on the same planet)? Those are questions that will hopefully be answered very soon. Ridley Scott directed this newest installment in the Alien franchise w

Including Wednesday the film is up to $794.2 million internationally and $965.6 million worldwide. That means as early as Friday, but most likely on Saturday, The Fate of the Furious will become the 30th movie to ever gross more than $1 billion. Unsurprisingly the film’s top international market is China, already at $340.5 million after 14 days. Back in 2015 Furious 7 made $390.9 million over there, a number the new one should ultimately surpass before it leaves the country. The Fate of the Furious was big in other markets too with $30.3 million in Mexico(F7 finished there with $51.7 million), $29.5 million in the UK ($59.9 million for F7), $27.4 million in Brazil ($46.6 million, F7), $24.1 million in

Bahubali 2: Just one day to go for the film to release

Image
Seems like it's the season for re-releases for Bahubali. The makers of the film today posted a Tweet - a poster of the film that has already been released, but with minor modifications. Well, worry not. There's nothing with respect to the characters - it's just that the makers are equally excited as the audience about the release of one of the most anticipated films in the history of Indian cinema. The re-released poster of Bahubali 2: The Conclusion has additions to it, saying "Just 1 day to go". The prequel, Bahubali: The Beginning was released two years ago and it became a much bigger than anticipated hit. Featuring Prabhas, Sathyaraj, Rana Daggubatti, Anushka Shetty and Ramya Krishnan, the first part earned a whopping Rs 600 crore plus in box office collections. The SS Rajamouli directorial which is set to release in 6,500 screens is the highest ever screens in Indian history.

New Release Dates for Star Wars IX, Indiana Jones 5, Frozen 2 and The Lion King

Image
Today Disney dated three of its biggest 2019 releases, Star Wars: Episode IX , The Lion King and Frozen 2, and then proceeded to delay Indiana Jones 5 to 2020. Until now we didn’t actually have a release day for Star Wars: Episode IX, just a year, 2019. Well the day will be May 24th 2019, only 18 months after The Last Jedi. Also this confirms that starting with the still untitled Han Solo movie Star Wars has left the December slot for good. That is unless they fall behind schedule on Episode IX and push it to December 2019. It could happen. Jon Favreau’s new The Lion King remake is as expected coming just in time for the original’s 25th anniversary, July 19th 2019. Technically that anniversary would be on June 15th, which is probably when they’ll have the world premiere (or something along those lines, maybe a special re-release of the original). Frozen 2 is coming November 27th 2019, exactly 6 years after Frozen‘s wide theatrical release. Love it or hate it Frozen was a huge
