Laurence Fishburne is reflecting on his time in Apocalypse Now, and he believes it helped to kickstart his career. Fishburne is a renowned actor who made his name with The Matrix (1999), The Color Purple (1985), Boyz n the Hood (1991), and more. His career truly exploded with his partnership with Apocalypse Now's director Francis Ford Coppola, as the 1979 war movie helped to establish him in Hollywood. He is preparing to reunite with Coppola for the upcoming Megalopolis movie.

Because his next work with Coppola is on its way to theaters, Fishburne spoke with Variety about the impact that the movie had on his career. Having been an "impressionable" young actor when he joined the cast, he spent two years learning from the incredible cast and crew. He specifically cites Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, and Francis Ford Coppola as influential forces. Check out his full quote below:

I was...

“Thank you to the voters in the TV academy, thank you mom and dad, you nurtured what I had in me. Dennis Lehane, Taron Egerton, your talent can move boulders. If I look tall it’s cause I’m standing on both of their shoulders,” rapped out Paul Walter Hauser starting one of the most unusual Emmy acceptance speeches of the night for Black Bird.

He’s taking home the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Or Anthology Series or Movie for his super creepy great nuanced performance as serial killer Larry Hall on the Apple TV+ show. Also unconventional, Hauser was crunching on something in his seat when they called his name and still chewing when he took the stage.

Paul Walter Hauser has made hamburgers the latest red carpet accessory.

The actor has found himself making the rounds lately thanks to his stunning turn as serial killer Larry Hall in Apple TV Plus’ limited series “Black Bird,” a role that has already netted him a SAG Award nomination and wins from the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards. After Jamie Lee Curtis asked him to bring her a burger to the next event, Hauser showed up at the Critics Choice Awards with a patty – only to learn Curtis couldn’t attend due to Covid. He later proposed to her with a smashburger at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards and brought 20 burgers to the SAG Awards, where he handed them out to the likes of Adam Sandler. When Hauser’s name was called amongst the nominees in his category, he perfectly timed a blissful bite on camera.

So...

In this week’s 20 Questions on Deadline, Taron Egerton reveals the effects of playing a real-life convict in AppleTV+ limited series Black Bird and the Die Hard-esque flavor of his new film Carry On opposite Jason Bateman.

He also digs into his past working in women’s retail, his doubts about method acting, a dream dinner guest, and his regrets about being starstruck meeting Paul McCartney.

Discussing what he would tell his younger self, he recalls struggling with body image and his weight and how “they should teach self love in school”.

Egerton first found fame starring alongside Colin Firth in Kingsman: The Secret Service, but is thus far best known for playing Elton John in the musical film Rocketman, for which he won a Golden Globe and a Bafta Award.

Right now, in Black Bird, he plays James Keane, who was recruited by the FBI to get information...

Apocalypse Now in 4K? After The Wild Bunch this is one title likely to get me to invest in a new format. Francis Coppola & John Milius’ Vietnam War epic may not be perfect, but it’s one of the most exciting movie experiences ever and one of the top achievements of the first film school generation of moviemakers. The release is agreeably all-inclusive: the original Road Show cut and the two revised versions are here along with the excellent making-of feature Hearts of Darkness. Re-tooled and polished up for picture and audio, this qualifies as a prime audio show-off disc too.
