In April 2013, the acclaimed Hollywood studio Warner Brothers opened its first facility in the UK, the Warner Brothers Studio in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. The stunning £100 million facility was opened by Culture Minister Ed Vaizey, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
Warner Brothers were founded in the Us in 1918 by four brothers named Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack, and found instant fame as a film studio thanks to their first star, the canine hero Rin Tin Tin. Since then Warner Brothers have gone on to produce some of the most successful films in movie history, such as Argo and The Artist, the 2012 and 2011 winners of the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards.
In the UK, Warner Brothers have produced Brit-based films such as the James Bond thriller Goldeneye, the first Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace and of course, all eight films in the Harry Potter series, from...

Sorry, Kanye — the Hollywood Walk of Fame doesn’t think your girl qualifies for a star of her very own.
The rapper recently declared on Jimmy Kimmel Live that his main squeeze Kim Kardashian deserves a square of sidewalk on Hollywood’s most famous footpath. Unfortunately, a representative for the landmark recently told the New York Daily News that the Walk has no category for reality stars: “They’re not giving a performance, it’s just them going through their daily lives and rituals on TV,” Walk of Fame vice president for media relations Ana Martinez explained. “We honor people...

Kanye West let the world know on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he’s furious that longtime love Kim Kardshian was rejected for a star on Hollywood’s infamous Walk of Fame. But think about it, he’s right — why doesn’t she qualify?
You may not agree with every opinion Kanye West has — especially when he compares himself to Jesus and Steve Jobs — but he’s right when he says Kim Kardashian deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Kim Kardashian Should Be on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame
He made this bold statement on his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Oct. 9: ”By the way, I want to shout-out the Walk of Fame, they said something like they’re not gonna put my girl on the Walk of Fame because she’s a reality star,” he told Kimmel. “People are so so dated and not modern.

Warner Bros's Burt Wonderstone is the studio's latest disaster Although the Halle Berry thriller The Call was good news this March 15-17 weekend, Steve Carell and Jim Carrey and their comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone were real bad news for Warner Bros. After all, the comedy budgeted at a relatively modest $30 million will actually have trouble reaching a measly $12 million at the North American box office this weekend. On Friday, Tibw took in $3.72 million at 3,160 sites. In fact, Don Scardino's Wonderstone, which also features Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, and Alan Arkin (coincidentally, a Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner for the 2006 family comedy Little Miss Sunshine, mentioned in the previous article) will quite likely be unable to match its budget domestically. Overseas prospects aren't exactly promising, either, as Hollywood comedies tend to perform better in the United States, while neither Carell nor Carrey is a major draw overseas. As for Warner Bros.

Whether you think of Warner Bros. as the studio that gave you talking pictures, Bugs Bunny, Bogart, or Batman, you have to acknowledge the studio's place at the forefront of Hollywood history. Indeed, it'll be hard to avoid acknowledging it this year, as the studio will be spending 2013 celebrating its 90th birthday. The celebration kicks off with the release of two massive boxed sets of 50-plus discs each, both entitled the "Best of Warner Bros." -- a 100-film set of DVDs and a 50-film set of Blu-rays. Both sets encompass the studio's milestones of the entire sound film era, which Warners itself kicked off in 1927 with the release of "The Jazz Singer." (The sets go all the way up to the 2010 classic-to-be "Inception.") As familiar as these movies are, there's still plenty you may not know about the legendary movie studio, from who the actual Warner Brothers were, to the stars the studio minted,...

Death Wish: Michael Winner’s movie vs. original novel [See previous post: "Michael Winner Dies."] "The point of the novel Death Wish," adds author Brian Garfield, "is that vigilantism is an attractive fantasy but it only makes things worse in reality. By the end of the novel, the character (Paul) is gunning down unarmed teenagers because he doesn’t like their looks. The story is about an ordinary guy who descends into madness." (Photo: Death Wish Charles Bronson.) A few years ago, Sylvester Stallone had plans to remake Death Wish, which (probably not coincidentally) has elements in common with Stallone’s (perhaps even more brutal and more pro-vigilantism) Cobra (1985). Stallone’s Death Wish remake, however, never came to fruition. Early in 2012, The Grey‘s director Joe Carnahan stated that he was planning an updated version of Death Wish. Michael Winner’s other ’70s movies: Directing Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, and more Charles Bronson Among Michael Winner...
