Tom Hanks was nominated for an Academy Award for his 1988 film, Big. He was exceptional in the film as Josh Baskin, a 13-year-old boy who is magically turned into an adult man. However, the film almost made a major mistake by not casting Hanks in the lead role in the film. Instead, the film initially preferred Harrison Ford in the role.

However, it is highly unlikely that Ford could’ve given the same performance that Hanks did in the film. The film was a huge hit at the time, making $151.7 million at the box office against a budget of $18 million. It was a critical favorite as well, also thanks to the Forrest Gump actor’s performance.

Tom Hanks‘ Oscar-nominated turn as Josh...

Penny Marshall's 1988 comedy smash-hit "Big" had a fun, fantastical premise. A 12-year-old boy named Josh (David Moscow) is tired of being treated like a kid, feeling that the world condescends to people of his age group all too often. Despondent, Josh visits a carnival and finds a coin-operated fortune-teller/wish-granting machine called Zoltar. He inserts his money and wishes to be "big," only to awaken the morning after in the body of Tom Hanks, who was 32 at the time. Suddenly 20 years older, Josh flees his panicked mother (Mercedes Ruehl), who doesn't recognize him, and is forced to enter the adult work force to survive. The only person who knows his secret is his best friend Billy (Jared Rushton).

"Big" was a tour de force from everyone involved in its making and went on to be nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Actor (for Hanks) and Best Original Screenplay...

The best Jessica Alba movies and TV shows include everything from horror movies and superhero efforts to action thrillers, TV shows, and more. Alba started as a child actor when she was 13 and starred in the movies Camp Nowhere and The Secret World of Alex Mack. This led to her picking up her first major television role when she was only 19 and starred in the James Cameron-produced action series Dark Angel.

Since that time, Alba has starred in everything from comic book movies like Sin City and Fantastic Four to horror films like The Eye and romantic comedies like Valentine’s Day. While she has received praise for several roles she has played throughout her career, it has not resulted in many awards. At the same time, she has faced criticism, including picking up Razzie Award nominations in 2006, 2008, and 2011. Despite this, Alba’s work remains popular, and she continues...

It's time for a quick history lesson! In 1899, a newsboys' strike was held across New York City for two weeks. The strikers demanded increased wages for newsboys, who drove a chunk of the sales in the afternoons and evenings but ended up earning little to nothing. Circulation for Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst's newspapers was halted during this time, and the strike eventually succeeded/worked in favor of the newsboys, although other demands had to be met with compromise.

The impact of this event was so rousing that Disney made a film musical — "Newsies" — inspired by the strike in 1992, with Kenny Ortega helming the project. A young Christian Bale played strike leader Jack "Cowboy" Kelly, and composer Alan Menken — who has scored almost every Disney animated film you know and love — crafted 12 original songs for this now-beloved movie. Despite these promising elements, however, the film did not perform well in theaters,...

David Moscow’s travel and culinary show From Scratch is getting another season.

The show, hosted by actor and adventurer Moscow, is set to return to the Tastemade streaming channel in April with new episodes that explore locations around the world, from Sweden to Kansas City, Missouri. It gives viewers “an inside look into the planet’s complex and interconnected food supply, how it is sourced, who is involved in the process and why it matters.”

The show finds Moscow — who is also known for his roles as the young version of Tom Hanks’ Big character and as Davey in Newsies — presented with a meal that he learns to source from scratch. He works with local food producers to harvest, hunt, fish, forage and grow each ingredient in the recipe and brings those back to the chef, with whom he works to re-create the original dish.

This season will feature world-renowned chefs,...

Most romance movies present an idealized vision of relationships, but some of them are actually quite creepy when examined closely. Societal attitudes toward relationships are changing all the time, which means that some old classic romance movies are being reevaluated. Things which seemed fine years ago may now appear to be a little disturbing, especially if there are uneven power dynamics in a relationship.

Another thing which can contribute to romance movies seeming creepy is the tone. A playful, humorous movie can often conceal a story that's actually rather dark when it's taken at face value. It's easy to get swept away when a movie tells its story with charm and confidence, but sometimes there's just no ignoring the uncomfortable moments. If these movies had a slightly different approach, they could just as easily be horror movies about creepy behavior.

Big is a fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Penny Marshall from a screenplay co-written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg. The 1988 film revolves around Josh Baskin, a young boy who wishes to get bigger in size to a fortune-telling machine, and when the next day he wakes up he discovers that his wish has been fulfilled.

Tom Hanks is one of the most celebrated actors of his generation and possibly the most beloved American movie star from the second half of the 20th century. Over his four decades in Hollywood, he's proven himself capable of completely disappearing into a variety of roles across both comedy and drama.

Yet whatever role Hanks is playing, his reassuring warmness can always be felt emanating off the screen. Likeability can be a poisonous term in Hollywood, but Hanks has always had an uncanny ability to find the soul of his characters and present it completely openly on screen in a way that audiences can't help but root for. He's more than an actor; he's an American institution, and Hollywood would look very different without him.

Seasons 3 and 4 of David Moscow’s travel and food show “From Scratch” will premiere on Tastemade, set to release on the streaming platform on Oct. 18.

In “From Scratch,” actor David Moscow is presented with a recipe from a chef and he subsequently hunts, dives, forages and grows every ingredient to create the meal. He aims to reveal how much effort goes into bringing common ingredients into kitchens.

According to the show’s description, “In an effort to help us reconnect with the food that sustains our lives, Moscow has spent four years traveling the world, meeting with rock-star chefs, and sourcing ingredients within local food ecosystems.”

This journey has taken him to several different countries where he helps source a wide range of ingredients. The description continues to explain that Moscow has these experiences in “20+ countries that include milking a water buffalo to make mozzarella for pizza in Italy; harvesting...

Director Penny Marshall's "Big" was, in many ways, the film that made Tom Hanks. Released in 1988, Marshall's hit comedy centers on Josh (David Moscow), a 12-year old boy whose wish to be "big" results in him falling asleep one night only to wake up a 30-something adult (Hanks). Thanks to his child-like outlook, Josh is quickly able to snag a high-profile job at a lucrative toy company. He even begins a romance with his co-worker Susan (Elizabeth Perkins), who finds his sincerity and innocence a welcome balm after years of dating self-absorbed, insecure men.

Yes, Josh and Susan's relationship is kind of weird and creepy when you ignore the magical realist conceit, but Marshall was well-aware of that and took care to handle their love story as sensitively as possible. "Big" is equally thoughtful in the way it shows Josh struggling to adjust to the harsh realities of adult...

Exclusive: Fyi has given a 10-episode series order to Big star David Moscow’s From Scratch, which follows the actor, producer and adventurer on a worldwide expedition making meals literally from scratch. It’s set for premiere Sunday, February 16 at 6 Pm Et on Fyi.

In From Scratch, after being presented a recipe from a chef, David must hunt, dive, gather, forage and grow each ingredient to remake the meal, revealing the overwhelming amount of work, craftmanship and passion that brings everyday ingredients into the kitchen. In its first season, Moscow milks a water buffalo for fresh mozzarella, harvests salt from the ocean, presses olive oil, and dives for octopus in rough waters. Along the way he spotlights acclaimed chefs, restaurants and cultures around the world: from crafting a local sustainable Scandinavian feast with Chef Jari Vesivalo in Helsinki, to a statewide wild goose chase for a Northeast fall meal with New York Chef Dan Kluger,...

Abu-Assad, whose 2017 survival story The Mountain Between Us starred Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, told us he was attracted by the project’s “emotional and thrilling script, which we hope can be a modern-day answer to The Deer Hunter.”

If you can remember sitting in a movie theater watching Tom Hanks as a grown-up child, we’ve got some news for you: You’re Big! That’s a nice way of saying you’re all grown up now, too — because it’s been 30 years since the release of director Penny Marshall’s fantasy-comedy classic Big, and to mark the occasion the movie is returning to theaters this July.

Thirty years ago this summer, 12-year-old Josh Baskin uttered a secret wish to a carnival fortune-teller machine and made movie history as he grew up overnight, turning director Penny Marshall’s Big into a box-office smash and one of the defining films of the 1980s.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Big, Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and Twentieth Century Fox are bringing its magic back to movie theaters throughout the U.S. as part of the yearlong TCM Big Screen Classics series.

Big is returning to theaters in honor of its 30th anniversary. The Tom Hanks classic was released thirty years ago this summer, On June 3, 1988, to be precise. It's been a full three decades since an unsuspecting 12-year-old Josh Baskin uttered a secret wish to a carnival fortune-teller machine and he grew up overnight and now, those of us who never got the chance to experience Big the right way, on the big screen, will have the chance to do so next month.

Fathom Events has partnered with Turner Classic Movies and Twentieth Century Fox for the 30th anniversary screenings. On Sunday, July 15, and Wednesday, July 18, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. each day (local time), Big will play in more than 700 movie theaters across the U.S. The screenings are part of the yearlong TCM Big Screen Classics series. The screenings will also include pre and post-film commentary by TCM Primetime host Ben Mankiewicz.

In this edition of Canon Of Film, we take honor the release of ‘Ocean’s 8‘ by taking a look back at one of Gary Ross’ early screenwriting achievements in ‘Big‘. For the story behind the genesis of the Canon, you can click here.

Big (1988)

Director: Penny Marshall

Screenplay: Gary Ross & Anne Spielberg

Having seen ‘Big‘ so often, that the magic of it has worn thin on me, I notice on my latest viewing something I hadn’t thought of before, in that now that Josh has returned to being a normal 13-year old, what will happen to him. Is he a normal 13-year old anymore, after spending six weeks as an adult working in the corporate market, having sex with women, earning a paycheck, going on dates, exactly how will his life change after this experience? It’s probably not much of a point that people will observe watching the film,...

Exclusive: Actor-turned-producer David Moscow (Big), an executive producer on David Robert Mitchell’s Cannes Competition entry Under The Silver Lake, will produce Iraq war drama A Brotherhood, which is currently scouting locations in the Middle East.

The post David Moscow Explores Desolation appeared first on Dread Central.

There are plenty of fairy tales told about small town girls who cross paths with a famous actor or rock star and fall in love and the two live happily ever after. This is not one of those stories. Desolation is a nightmare, about a girl falling for a movie star and relocating with him to a very haunted Hollywood, and Et has the first trailer.

Katie (Dominik García-Lorido) ignores all the red flags when actor Jay Cutter (Pitch Perfect's Brock Kelly) boasts about the high-profile homicides that happened in his building and soon finds herself seeing dead people, ghostly children and, naturally, a seriously sinister priest. "Are you sick?" he asks. "Have you been having any nightmares? Have you been diagnosed with mental illness? Hallucinations? Loss of appetite? Voices? Paranoia?"

The cast and crew of Desolation have some noteworthy connections to Hollywood themselves. García-Lorido is the daughter of Andy Garcia, and David Moscow, who makes...

When David Moscow made his 'Big'-screen debut in 1988, it was huge. Penny Marshall had plucked this precocious, 11-year-old kid from the Bronx to play the younger version of Tom Hanks' character, Josh Baskin. This comic fantasy-fable about a boy who literally became 'Big' overnight, was a giant box-office hit. Moscow was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor in a Comedy. And in that same season, another kid won for Best Young Actor in a Drama Christian Bale for 'Empire of the Sun.'...

Body switch movies are probably some of the most fun, unsung films to ever grace the silver screen. They are simple tales of people (usually humans) switching bodies, often to hilarious effect when they have to live the other person's life. Then there's the aspect of how are they going to switch back? And suddenly you have a genre of movies that borders on the fantastic.

Another aspect of these films is precisely how the switch happens. Sometimes the actors merely bump into one another. Other times they get something that serves as a conduit to make the switch happen. Then there's those times (i.e. Mulholland Drive) where the actors become other people simply because that's just what makes sense for the story that a particular director is telling.

It is the fantastical nature of these films, the idea that a body switch of comedic (and sometimes tragic) proportions can happen,...

David Moscow has a new wish for Zoltar -- but this time, he wants money! The now-40-year-old actor, who stole our hearts in 1988 as Josh Baskin in "Big," recreated some of his more memorable scenes to raise funds for his Kickstarter campaign. Sporting his iconic red and white letterman jacket, the former child star tries his luck with Zoltar yet again. "I wish I had money to finish my movie," he tells the machine. "If only life was like a movie, I would have the money for post-production already."   Later in the clip, David describes the premise of his new movie -- a thriller called "Desolation." The film is about a small town girl, Katie, who follows a "heartthrob" actor to Hollywood only to have things take a sinister turn. "One of the reasons I loved the script is because it reminded me of the psychological thrillers in the...

Big remains one of our favourite Tom Hanks childhood movies (perhaps losing out to Turner and Hooch, boy did that make us blub, we barely held it together) so we're slightly unnerved by reports that a TV series based on the film has been commissioned.

Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce are now said to have received a script plus penalty commitment from broadcaster Fox for the half-hour comedy series, which will explore what it means to be both an adult and child in today's world.

The 1988 Oscar-nominated movie, written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg, sees a boy's simple wish to be big come true as a 13-year-old is transformed into a 30-year-old overnight.

We take a nostalgic look at the cast of the huge hit - including Tom Hanks and John Heard - and what came next below:

Fox is teaming up with Enlisted producers Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce for a half-hour comedy series based on the hit 1988 movie Big starring Tom Hanks.

Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce are writing the pilot episode, loosely based on the movie, which explores what it means to be a kid and also an adult in the 21st Century, and how confusing each part of one's life can be.

Tom Hanks played Josh in Big, a young boy who makes a wish to be big through a magical machine, only to wake up the next day as a full-grown adult. Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia and John Heard co-starred in the comedy, which was directed by Penny Marshall. The film earned over $150 million worldwide during its theatrical run.

Before working together on Fox's Enlisted, Kevin Biegel co-created Cougar Town and served as a writer and producer on the ABC sitcom Scrubs. Mike Royce...

The second audition of David Moscow's career involved Penny Marshall, Robert De Niro, and a script about a 12-year-old Jersey boy who wishes "to be big." Though De Niro passed on the role made iconic by Tom Hanks, "Big" became the most recognized film on Moscow's career resume. "Personally and professionally, it was a complete change," Moscow said in a recent interview marking the classic comedy's 25th anniversary. "At that period of time I was 12, and my mom would be scolding me for being bad on the street, and then suddenly people would come up to me and be like, 'Hey, can I have your autograph?' ... It was a wild time, it was a wild way to be introduced into the business."  Moscow has since turned his focus from acting. He produced indie horror comedy "Hellbenders" ("'Ghostbusters meets 'The Hangover'"), which premiered during Tiff 2012's Midnight Madness screening series,...

Heart and soul.

It’s what Josh Baskin and MacMillan play during the memorable dance scene in 1988’s Big but it’s also what the film is infused with, making it stand up to the test of time. Yeah, its look is dated thanks to bad hair and big shoulder pads, but the story of a 13 year old’s wish to become an adult endures.

20th Century Home Entertainment has released Big 25th Anniversary Edition this week, in time for last minute stocking stuffers. It belongs under every tree because it’s just so well crafted, explaining how Tom Hanks earned an Oscar nomination for his performance.

Walking into the after-party for her Saturday Night Live hosting gig in the wee hours of Nov. 3, Kerry Washington did something shocking: She grabbed the hand of her husband, former 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, and held it in public. For the very private star, who wed in secret this past June after a three-year courtship she'd kept quiet even from friends, it may be out of character. But then again, she has a lot to be happy about at the moment: her loving marriage, her popular TV series, Scandal, and a baby on the way. "Kerry's in it to win it,...

There was a time when Kerry Washington willingly shared the details of her love life - but those days are long gone.

The couple split in 2007. "But I couldn't just turn around and say, 'I only want to talk about the good stuff, but not the bad stuff,...

It's hard to believe "Newsies" has been around since 1992. Directed by choreographer Kenny Ortega (who you can also thank for the the "High School Musical" series), the film was a major box office flop, but later gained a cult following on home video. Now, it's been turned into a Broadway musical that has earned eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, winning Best Choreography and Best Original Score.

For those of you who have been waking up every day for the past 21 years with "Seize The Day" stuck in your head, this is for you. Scroll down to see where the cast of the beloved Disney movie is today.

E! Online and Us Weekly subsequently confirmed the marriage, with the latter citing records that show Washington and Asomugha filed for a marriage license in Idaho. Washington's parents reportedly served as witnesses.

"It has been recorded in the Blaine County clerk's office that Nnamdi Asomugha and Kerry Washington have been married on the 24th of June in the town of Hailey, Idaho," a representative for the clerk's office told Us Weekly.

Score one for Kerry Washington! A source confirms to E! News exclusively that the Scandal star is dating San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

The star of Django Unchained and Ray, Kerry Washington wasn't even going to audition for a new TV series set in the White House. Now she's the bad-ass spin doctor at the heart of America's favourite new drama. Prepare to become addicted

When the Scandal box set dropped on to our mat, my partner took one look and said he'd be having an early night. Seven hours later we peeled ourselves away from the screen, having watched the entire series together back-to-back – but when I report this to Kerry Washington, she doesn't look surprised, just amused. "Yeah," she smiles, "I'm finding a lot of people telling me that. They watch it with their grandmother, or their girlfriend."

Now into its third series in the Us, Scandal is the hit creation of Shonda Rhimes, who made Grey's Anatomy. Washington plays Olivia Pope, an elite crisis manager in Washington DC, part lawyer,...

Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of Big, the movie that boosted Tom Hanks from being just a funny leading man to an Oscar-worthy movie star. It’s also the comedy that put filmmaker Gary Ross on the map as he too earned an Academy Award nomination for this, his first feature script (co-written by Steven Spielberg’s sister, Anne). Directed by Penny Marshall, it was a word of mouth kind of hit, having opened in second place behind Crocodile Dundee II in its second week then going on to become the fourth highest grossing movie of 1988. For those of us around the same age as Josh Haskins (David Moscow/Hanks) at the time, it was a thought-provoking What If? situation even if most of us found a lot of the scenarios and behavior to be well-below the character’s maturity level. The tricky thing about Big in terms of highlighting its best moments is that it’s...

In creating fantasy worlds on the big screen directors have often sought out strange and bizarre inventions to tell their stories. Technology has played a vital role in communicating the future visions of many a filmmaker and thousands of invented oddities are piled high in the collective movie storeroom.
