Directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling alongside Emily Blunt, the upcoming action comedy film The Fall Guy is set to pay homage to the daring work of stunt performers who risk their lives to create thrilling action scenes for the silver screen. Stepping into the role of a stuntman in the movie, Gosling also took it upon himself to perform a few sequences on his own, including one that forced him to confront his fear of heights.

While it’s hard to top Tom Cruise in the stunt department, his Interview with the Vampire costar isn’t too far behind in terms of respect in the stunt community. Even though most don’t associate Oscar-winner Brad Pitt with death-defying stunts, the actor bears huge respect for stunt performers and even helped his Flight Club stunt double to rise the ranks.
Before becoming a prominent action filmmaker, David Leitch, notable for his work on The Fall Guy, Deadpool 2, and Hobbs & Shaw, worked as a double for Pitt during the ’90s. And reflecting on the change of attitude of Hollywood stars for the stunt community over the years, the director expressed his gratitude to the Bullet Train Star.

The protagonist of David Leitch’s entertaining new action-comedy The Fall Guy doesn’t have many complaints about life as a stuntman. Sure, he does most of the hard work for half the recognition, but Colt Seavers (an ace Ryan Gosling) gets hype about jumping out of helicopters, diving off balconies and performing other dangerous physical feats that make movies look cool. He’s not an adrenaline junkie; he just understands the critical role stuntmen play on set.
Colt has been a stunt double for Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), an international superstar with a lethal combo of arrogance and insecurity, for six years. The two share the type of sacred bond that’s only possible with someone who is paid to risk major injury and possible death for you.
At the beginning of The Fall Guy, Colt, through voiceover, walks us through some details of his life. He excitedly introduces...

Its ungainly final twist and unreal violence sequences dim a film with a brilliant premise and rage that still stings
Twenty-five years ago, the ultimate bro film came out; it is now rereleased for the anniversary. David Fincher’s bone-splintering, soft-tissue-pulping Fight Club is the ultraviolent hipster-fantasy about a depressed white collar nerd befriended by a supercool alpha male and inducted into a secret bare-knuckle combat cult whose purpose is to restore real masculinity. It was adapted by screenwriter Jim Uhls from the uncompromisingly pessimistic novel by Chuck Palahniuk and, after a slow commercial start, became the movie that launched a million gags about all other clubs whose first rule was that you couldn’t talk about them. It is a comic meme which survived into Emma Seligman’s recent comedy Bottoms.

When Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, 57, saw Brad Pitt having an alleged affair with his now ex-wife, he was prepared to administer the final rites to Pitt.
Well, apart from his combat skills, Iron Mike has demonstrated his acting abilities. Numerous beloved classic films have featured cameos from him. Meanwhile, Pitt is an acclaimed name in the entertainment industry, who rose to fame due to his charisma and acting prowess and quickly gained widespread recognition.

Helena Bonham Carter's iconic role as Marla Singer almost didn't happen due to doubts and hesitations. Fight Club explores themes of identity, consumer culture, and the search for authenticity in a postmodern world. Marla Singer's character in Fight Club was inspired by Judy Garland in her later troubled years.
Helena Bonham Carter is irreplaceable as Marla Singer in Fight Club, but she almost didn't play the character. Fight Club delves into themes of identity, consumer culture, and the search for authenticity in a postmodern world. In the movie, an anarchic all-male underground fight club is founded by the Narrator and Tyler Durden. This club becomes a crucible for men to express their primal aggression and escape the ennui of their lives. In the middle of it all, Fight Club's Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) emerges, embodying chaos and unpredictability but also a stark reality the characters cannot escape.

Iconic films like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Fight Club" initially flopped at the box office, but gained cult classic status over time. Jennifer Lawrence starrer 'The Thing' may have struggled at the box office against the cultural phenomenon of 'E.T.' in the '80s. 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' failed to impress at the box office, but developed a devoted fanbase over the years, showcasing its lasting appeal.
Box office success is not always indicative of a film's lasting legacy. Movies such as Gone with the Wind, Jaws, and Star Wars dominated the box office and have stood the test of time, remaining paramount works of cinema. On the other end of the spectrum, franchises such as Fifty Shades of Grey, Transformers, and Twilight have grossed in the billions, yet they frequently appear among cinema's worst films.

The move could signal a shift in strategy by Apple to finally incorporate more library titles into its catalog.
Is Apple TV+ finally getting non-original titles in its streaming library? Yes, at least temporarily, at any rate, as the streamer has added a total of 51 movies to its streaming catalog, spanning every genre and including some true blockbusters. Apple stresses that these titles will only be available for a limited time, but it could be providing a glimpse into its own future with the additions. Having long focused on high-quality originals without the studio archives or licensing library of its competitors, Apple V+ has been a somewhat different type of streamer since it launched in November 2019.

As Hollywood agencies and production companies increasingly turn to artificial intelligence to evaluate screenplays, a group of writers and creatives have come together to design a so-called barrier against the incursion.
Shane Black (“Iron Man 3”), Jim Herzfeld (“Meet the Parents”) and Akela Cooper (“M3GAN”) are among two dozen industryites who collaborated on the development of a new tech platform, dubbed the Gauntlet, in an effort to keep humans assessing screenplays at the gate-keeper stage rather than AI.
ScriptHop, a Hollywood tech company founded by former UTA story department head Scott Foster and tech entrepreneur Brian Austin, is launching the Gauntlet Tuesday with 30 freelance script analysts from such high-profile companies as HBO and Lucasfilm, becoming the largest organized group of professional readers in the industry.
ScriptHop advisory board member and screenwriter Herzfeld came up with the idea that sees screenwriters pay a $380 fee to run their script through a “gauntlet” of professional story analysts.

Fight Club's twist ending redefines the entire narrative, revealing the inner conflict within the Narrator. The symbolic destruction at the end represents the Narrator confronting his issues for a sense of peace. Marla's existence is left open to interpretation, reflecting the Narrator's struggles with self-destructive behavior.
The ending of Fight Club explained a wealth of thematic depth beyond the film's infamous mind-bending twist. Based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk, David Fincher's Fight Club combines a complex story with social commentary and an exploration of the toxic nature of modern society that has led to serious analysis. Told from the perspective of its unnamed narrator, it details his life spiraling into anarchy after founding the titular club which builds to the iconic Fight Club ending.

Kristen Stewart's Love Lies Bleeding marks a thrilling genre comeback after a series of films that didn't quite hit the mark. The movie showcases Stewart's return to her thriller roots, playing a complex character in this much-anticipated and well-reviewed film.

It started as a practical joke among friends, a way for superstar Brad Pitt and acclaimed director David Fincher to playfully mess with their inner circle on New Year’s Eve as the year turned to 2000. But the elaborate prank, involving staged Y2K chaos and fake federales with automatic weapons, ultimately left some psychological scars.

According to rule numbers 1 and 2, "you do not talk about Fight Club." But can you make a movie about it? What about a sort of B-movie version set in 2024 Los Angeles? Frank Grillo might be the one to star in said idea. The household name and NYC native has worked with almost every action superstar these days, so it's too bad none of these guys appear alongside him in his new B-movie.
Lights Out, which hits the masses this week, follows a drifting ex-soldier who turns into an underground fighter. Grillo isn't alone either, as a few known Hollywood actors also co-star here, but the talent isn't enough to solidify Christian Sesma's new feature as a standout amongst the countless other gritty action flicks out there.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and David Fincher’s Fight Club seem worlds apart. While Fight Club is often seen as a celebration of tough-guy attitudes, it’s actually a critique of toxic masculinity. Whereas Barbie, based on the eponymous fashion dolls, is successfully wrapped up in the traditionally girly hue.
The difference between the two films (besides 25 years of cultural change) is mainly how they convey their message. Fight Club ends tragically, with the main character causing chaos in society.
On the contrary, Barbie gives its characters more control and shows a way to find a better sense of self. Yet, both are linked by one main goal—criticizing a society where men hold more power.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt is said to be living with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon. The ‘Fight Club’ actor, 60, was first linked to the jewellery executive, 34, in 2022.
Multiple sources have now said that the pair have taken the huge step in their relationship, reports Female First UK.
An insider close to Ines told People magazine: “It’s pretty recent. They are going very strong, and she is happier than ever.” The source added Anita Ko vice-president Ines did not give up her own home when she moved in with Brad.
As per Female First UK, Brad and Ines first sparked dating rumours in November 2022 when they were spotted looking intimate at a Bono concert in Los Angeles.

Disney’s Mary Poppins is 60 years old in 2024 – and it’s returning to UK cinemas in March to mark the occasion.
The joyous Disney favourite Mary Poppins is approaching a special birthday this year, with the movie – as the headline to this very piece suggests – now 60 years old.
Directed by Robert Stevenson, penned by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi – based on the work of P L Travers of course – the movie is best known for the mighty Julie Andrews in the lead role. That and, of course, Dick Van Dyke’s entirely convincing Londoner.
It’s a much-loved movie that technically hits 60 this August. However, no problem with getting the party started early: we now learn that the film is returning to over 100 UK cinemas on March 29th 2024.
The re-release isn’t coming direct from Disney, rather through Park Circus. We don’t have the exact cinema count, but over...

David Fincher’s modern classic Fight Club is returning to UK cinemas – and it looks to be getting a wide re-release in March. More here.
A film that cost 20th Century Fox a lot of money, that didn’t instantly turn a profit, and that apparently infuriated Rupert Murdoch? Ah, Fight Club. Not only an outstanding movie, but an absolute beacon as to why a film should never be judged by its box office take.
Since its initial release in 1999, the film has consistently made Fox money, via its assorted home releases. And it’s on such stature that for its 25th birthday this year, it’s getting a really rather wide cinema re-release.
Pretty soon, too.
Park Circus is putting the movie onto over 100 UK screens from Friday 15th March, just over a month from now. You can expect pre-booking to crop up soon, and hopefully, the release is...

The Game, a cult classic thriller from the 80s directed by David Fincher, will be adapted into a television series by Kevin Williamson, known for the Scream saga. The movie, despite being overshadowed by Fincher's other films, is still captivating and intriguing, which is why it was chosen for the television adaptation. This deal with Universal Television also includes a series adaptation of Rear Window and The It Girl, showcasing Williamson's creativity and success as a producer.
80s cult classic thriller directed by David Fincher, The Game, will become a television series thanks to the writer and producer of the Scream saga, Kevin Williamson.
The movie, which stars Michael Douglas, Sean Penn and Deborah Kara Unger, was the third project in Fincher's career as a director, after Alien 3 and Se7en, and just before Fight Club, which may have caused it to also be forgotten among his filmography. But...

Clever Easter Eggs in movies fuel fan theories and provoke further discussion about symbolism and major themes. In Fight Club, the constant presence of Starbucks cups critiques consumerism. The references to canceled Disney movies in Meet the Robinsons add a meta quality to the main character and serve as a commentary on abandoned fictional characters.
Many movies include barely noticeable Easter Eggs, some of which add a new layer to the story. Studios such as Disney like to include characters and images from other properties within a movie, which often have no bigger meaning than being a fun visual reference for the fans. However, some references like this will completely change the way the audience sees the movie.
Clever Easter Eggs elaborate upon a story by making it spookier, alluding to a new detail about a main character, connecting it to another setting, and more. These details fuel fan theories...

Some actors, despite their talent and acclaimed roles, haven't had the opportunity to star in breakout or lead roles in films. Some actors become known for certain iconic roles or as "character actors" who excel in supporting roles across different genres. While these actors have showcased their abilities and experience, they have yet to be given the chance to play significant lead roles in films.
Despite their recognizable talent and having acclaimed roles in their filmography, some actors still haven't been able to star in a breakout or notable lead role. Though they sometimes star as the lead in a television series, their film work has mostly been limited to supporting roles. The reasons for this vary depending on the actor.
Some actors, such as Danny Pudi or Benedict Wong, have become largely associated with one of their more popular roles, therefore it's difficult to connect with any other character portrayed by them.

The 2007 movie Zodiac starring Robert Downey Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal, and Mark Ruffalo not only joins this lineup of impressive Fincher films, but is also inspired by one of American history's most infamous serial murderers.

Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth star in director William Eubank’s action thriller, Land Of Bad. Here’s an intense, shooty red band trailer.
Russell Crowe arguably gets the cosier end of the deal in the upcoming action thriller, Land Of Bad. While Liam Hemsworth wades through water, gets shot at, and seemingly gets involved in Fight Club-style fisticuffs, Crowe sits in a gamer’s chair and barking advice in an air conditioned military building.
Land Of Bad is the latest film from director William Eubank (who also co-writes with David Frigerio) – a filmmaker who broke through with the low-budget yet ambitious sci-fi Love in 2011. He later made sci-fi thriller The Signal (2014), the actually-pretty-good ocean bottom sci-fi horror Underwater (2020), and chiller sequel Paranormal Activity: Next Of Kin (2021).

FX Networks has not officially renewed Dave for season 4, and the show is currently on pause. Lil Dicky, the star of the show, will be taking an extended break to focus on music and other ventures. Despite the pause, FX Productions will continue to work with Lil Dicky on future projects through their overall production deal.
Dave season 4 gets a disappointing update nearly a year after the premiere of the show's third installment. Co-created by Jeff Schaffer and rapper-comedian Dave Burd, known by his stage name Lil Dicky, the FX comedy show debuted in March 2020. The story follows Burd, who plays a fictionalized version of Lil Dicky. A neurotic man in his late twenties when the show begins, Lil Dicky is convinced that he's destined to be one of the best rappers of all time.

Brad Pitt is the first actor to be cast in Quentin Tarantino's final movie, The Movie Critic, but his role is likely to subvert expectations. Pitt's previous collaborations with Tarantino and comments from the director suggest that he will likely play a supporting role rather than the main character. The Movie Critic is based on a real writer from the 1970s who died in his late thirties, making it unlikely for Pitt to play the lead due to his age. However, Pitt has proven his ability to deliver outstanding performances in supporting roles in Tarantino's past movies.
Brad Pitt has been cast in The Movie Critic, but although he's the first actor with official ties to Quentin Tarantino's final movie, his role is likely to subvert expectations. Story details for The Movie Critic are minimal so far, with only vague plotlines being teased by the iconic movie director.

In 2005, Brad Pitt (Fight Club) and Angelina Jolie (Maleficent) starred together in the classic spy movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The chemistry was so intense on set that the two actually started their relationship around the time the movie was released. However, when Donald Glover (Atlanta) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) decided to create and star in the show together, with the help of Francesca Sloane, the connection wasn’t as compelling. Weller-Bridge said in an interview with Vanity Fair that the decision to step down as a creator wasn’t with any ill will but just a minor change in heart. It didn’t discourage Glover either, as Maya Erskine (Pen15) stepped in to take over the role of Jane Smith.

David Schwimmer makes a bold choice with this ambitious, if not entirely seamless psychodrama. Starting out as a hyperactive life-in-crisis movie, like a more melancholy, introspective Fight Club, it swaps horses in midstream with a shocking twist that will likely alienate any viewers seduced by seeing the Friends star’s face on its promo imagery. Those willing to follow first-time director Jack Begert down the rabbit hole into the film’s surprising second half — which may seem completely unrelated at first, but soon reveals the film’s deeper themes of opioid use and the butterfly effects of addiction — will find it strangely satisfying.
In light of recent events involving Schwimmer’s former co-star Matthew Perry, Begert’s film has acquired an unintentionally meta level that, sadly, only underscores its main theme, which is the human cost of the pursuit of happiness in contemporary America. Schwimmer plays Martin Solomon, a screenwriter...

In January of 1999, two teen movies opened back to back and kicked off what would be one of the most extraordinary years for youth-oriented movies in the history of Hollywood. Both were No. 1 at the box office their first weekend. Both boasted remarkable casts of rising stars — they even shared a star in Paul Walker. And both whipped ancient genre conventions into new combinations that made them fresh and new. Yet for all their similarities, “Varsity Blues” and “She’s All That” couldn’t have been more different: one an R-rated sports drama that tempered its inspirational coming-of-age drama with surprisingly harsh depictions of misogyny and physical and mental abuse, the other a sweet, good-natured romantic comedy nearly as innocent as a Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland vehicle from the 1940s. In their similarities and differences lies the key to why 1999 was such a great year for movies of their type — the 1939 of teen movies.

This year celebrates 25 years since the final year of the 1900’s. A year that brought about such classics as The Matrix, Fight Club, American Pie, and Office Space as well as my personal favorite movie of all time: Arlington Road. The year was so successful that 20 years later it would inspire a book titled Best Movie Year Ever.
With a vast cannon of films ranging from highly anticipated block busting prequels (Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace) to that years’ eventual Best Picture winner American Beauty and a movie that changed the meaning of twist endings forever (The Sixth Sense) 1999 truly was a year for the ages.

The original Matrix's groundbreaking marketing campaign, centered around the question "What is the Matrix?", cannot be replicated in the sequels. The Matrix's marketing capitalized on its premise by creating a sense of discovery and mystery for viewers, fueling their curiosity to see the film. The sequels lacked the freshness that made the original Matrix a must-see, ultimately disappointing fans of the franchise.
One of the key ingredients that made The Matrix a smash was impossible to repeat for the sequels. 1999 is considered a banner year for movies, thanks to the likes of Fight Club, The Insider, Toy Story 2 and many more. A defining film from that year is The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world around him is a computer simulation. The film mashed up everything from existentialism to anime, with the result being an exhilarating blockbuster that was much smarter than it needed to be.

Some cliche somewhere said that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ This has proven to be the case for me and especially when it comes to fan art. I have always sought out great fan art and have wanted to share it with as many people as possible. “Awesome Art We’ve Found Around The Net” is the outlet for that passion. In this column, I will showcase the kick-ass artwork of some great artists, with the hopes that these artists get the attention they deserve. That’s the aim. If you have any questions or comments, or even suggestions of art or other great artists, feel free to contact me at any time at theodorebond@joblo.com.

Looking at director Gregory Hoblit’s filmography, it’s hard to not notice this man has a type and it’s not just movies starting with the letter F. Hoblit worked in the bygone era of original dramatic thrillers with storylines that occasionally bumped elbows with the horror genre. None more so than his 1996 feature debut, Primal Fear.
The film followed seemingly conscience free hot shot defense lawyer with an axe to grind, Martin Vail (Richard Gere). Vail takes on the case of altar boy Aaron (Edward Norton), who’s caught damn near red handed having allegedly brutally murdered a Catholic archbishop. Vail takes on the case because he knows it will give him the attention he craves and thereby another middle finger to the establishment that he feels wronged him. In other words, he’s driven by more than is on the surface but less than a noble cause.
