Russell Crowe Reveals He Fractured Both Legs During 'Robin Hood' Shoot - PEOPLE

Image
Russell Crowe has always been game to do a lot of his own stunts. But there was one "small mishap" on the set of his 2010 Robin Hood that later became a much bigger deal. "I jumped off a castle portcullis onto rock-hard uneven ground," the Oscar winner, 59, tells PEOPLE for One Last Thing in this week's issue. "We should have prepped the ground and buried a pad but we were in a rush to get the shot done in the fading light." Crowe, who is currently starring in the new action thriller Land of Bad , didn't realize the precarious situation until he was about to jump. "With hundreds of extras around, arrows flying and burn pots setting the castle on fire, there was no pulling out," he recalls. "As I jumped, I remember thinking, 'This is going to hurt.' " Russell Crowe. Pool Insabato Rovaris/Mondadori Portfolio via Getty Aiming to land on the balls of his feet to help ...

Christopher Nolan Originally Developed Inception as a Horror Movie - Yahoo Entertainment

Image
Christopher Nolan recently set our goosebumps all aquiver by stating (via Variety ) that he'd "love to make a horror film." While Nolan's previous efforts have contained elements of terror (think Scarecrow's Fear Toxin hallucinations in Batman Begins , Joker's homicidal psychopathy in The Dark Knight , the existential threat of a dying planet in Interstellar , and even the specter of nuclear annihilation in Oppenheimer ), the acclaimed storyteller has yet to craft a piece of cinema meant to curdle an audience's blood from start to finish. "I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea. And those are few and far between," the acclaimed storyteller explained at an event hosted by the British Film Institute. "So I haven't found a story that lends itself to that." What really fascinates Nolan about the genre is the fact that Hollywood financiers are willing to provide more creative leeway for horror projects, whic...

Enemy At The Gates' Shows Soviet Propaganda At Work - Coffee or Die Magazine

Image
But once the film came out, it was pilloried by historians who knew how unlikely it was that the story was true. When Annaud invited a highly critical Antony Beevor to a screening of the film, Beevor explained to Annaud all the evidence that Zaitsev's exploits were exaggerated. Konig, or Konings, or Thorvald, or Thorwald — whatever his name, he was almost surely fictional. According to Beevor, Annaud's response was, "But Antony, who can tell where myth begins and truth ends?" Annaud explained his logic to Salon : "You have the old Vassili Zaitsev who, 10 years ago, stood in front of BBC cameras in Volgograd at the place he said he killed this German. He spent his whole life writing and doing interviews about this duel, which was at the epicenter of his fame. So it's difficult for me to say it's untrue." Indeed, what reason would a Soviet war hero and vocal Bolshevik have to not come clean about the fact that his fame may have been a lie? The echoes o...

Karate Kid 2024: Release Date, Cast, Story & Everything We Know - Screen Rant

Image
The first Karate Kid movie was released in June 1984, and 40 years later the franchise is still going strong with the Cobra Kai series on Netflix and new Karate Kid movie news on the way. The original movies followed Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) as he trained in karate and overcame those bullying him. Another Karate Kid movie in 2010 saw Jaden Smith play a similar character, though he studied kung fu instead of karate. Now, after over a decade, a new Karate Kid movie is releasing in 2024. Sony has announced a new Karate Kid movie on the way, though it's still not clear how it will tie into the existing movies. Sony promises a " return to the original Karate Kid franchise " with the Karate Kid 2024 movie, although there is also some sense that it will be a soft reboot. This is somewhat unsurprising too, since the direct story of the original Karate Kid has been continued significantly by Cobra Kai — which has itself led to speculation on how the Karate Kid m...
