So much so that he has had a career that has spanned five decades. One can imagine that this led to a lot of lessons, be it learning them or teaching them. Recently, the actor gave an interview where he talked about a very big lesson he learned when he was working on his very first film.

Method acting is one of the most famous and well-known forms of acting in the film industry. It has gained quite a reputation through the years, becoming well-known for its ruthlessness and demanding nature.

Disney+ – Nov. 1

John Williams is the elder statesman of film music. His scores conjure memories and transport you to different times and places. Just think about what he’s contributed over the years, from “Jaws” to “Star Wars” to “Indiana Jones” to “Harry Potter” to “Jurassic Park” to “Home Alone.” Even lesser-known scores crackle with intensity, technical proficiency and creative flair (think Brian De Palma...

The highly anticipated “Wicked” film adaptation is here. After a tear-filled press tour, Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba and Ariana Grande’s Glinda will finally take audiences by storm.

The two leading ladies have become true sisters in the rollout of the film, even revealing several matching tattoos together. While the duo seem picture perfect for the musical adaptation, a list of stars admitted to being in the running for the powerhouses, including Dove Cameron, Renee Rapp and Amanda Seyfried for Glinda.

Jon M. Chu’s adaptation is chalked full of musical theatre trained actors, here’s your guide to the “Wicked” cast.

TMZ caught up with Wayne Knight — Seinfeld’s Newman — at an airport recently, but it’s an interaction that almost didn’t happen. Why not? The site’s intrepid reporter almost didn’t recognize Knight thanks to his significant weight loss. “From about Jurassic Park to now,” Knight revealed, he’s lost about 110 pounds.

That’s great for Knight’s health, but not necessarily fantastic for his career. When asked if his weight loss was affecting his career in a good way or a bad way, Knight candidly replied, “In a bad way. But it takes time for people to accept you as you are. Then they find out whether or not you can still do things without being fat.”

Knight joked that he’d lost about 7,000 pounds over the years — just not all at once. “I lose 10, I gain 50,” he explained. “I lose 100, I gain 12.”

However you do the math,...

Universal Pictures surprised us back in January when they announced that not only was a new entry in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise in the works, but the screenplay was already finished and the project was aiming for a 2025 theatrical release. July 2, 2025, to be exact. This new movie is called Jurassic World Rebirth, and it was assembled in a mad scramble so it can stay on track to reach theatres next July. Details have been kept under wraps so far, but Universal just revealed some plot and character information the other day, so now it’s time for us to put together a list of Everything We Know About Jurassic World Rebirth:

Plot

One of the most interesting things about this new Jurassic movie is the fact that it boasts a script written by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, returning to the franchise for the first time...

Jeff Goldblum shocked passersby with an impromptu piano performance at London’s St. Pancras International train station on Wednesday, in celebration of the release of Wicked.

The Jurassic Park alum, who stars as the Wizard of Oz in Jon M. Chu’s impending musical adaptation, performed an intimate rendition of a Wicked number and two Christmas tunes as travelers and shoppers watched on.

Goldblum is a musical talent as well as an actor. Performing as part of The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, his band is known for their contemporary arrangements of classic jazz and American songbook standards.

The station he performed at on Wednesday unveiled a Wicked themed Christmas tree in partnership with Universal Pictures, to celebrate the movie’s release. In taking to the St. Pancras piano, Goldblum followed in the footsteps of Grammy award winners Alicia Keys and Nora Jones, and dynamic duo Rod Stewart and Jools Holland, who also performed there.

Ever since Jurassic Park roared into theaters, it changed cinema and lives forever, birthing one of the biggest franchises on the planet. While Jurassic Park was a groundbreaking hit, its successor, Jurassic World films, has sparked mixed reactions over the years.

Among the franchise’s most controversial and jaw-dropping moments is the death of Zara Young, played by Katie McGrath. And the interesting fact is that she actually asked for it! Here is the full story!

The Most Unnecessarily Gruesome Death in Jurassic World History!

Fans can all unanimously agree that Katie McGrath left quite an impression in Jurassic World, and not just because of her role as Zara Young, Claire’s British assistant. Zara from the get go was different, and unique, that made her stand out.

There’s a new entry in the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise heading our way, with Jurassic World Rebirth set to reach theatres on July 2, 2025 – and during an interview with Empire, director Gareth Edwards said that the new movie goes back to what he loved about the original Jurassic Park.

News of the new Jurassic World movie first hit back in January, when it was revealed that the screenplay – by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, returning to the franchise for the first time since The Lost World: Jurassic Park – had already been written. The project was assembled in a mad scramble after that, with Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards ending up at the helm. This new Jurassic World movie won’t be featuring any returning lead characters from the previous Jurassic Park / Jurassic World movies, so describing it as a “Rebirth” could be accurate.

One of the biggest movie events of the fall is upon us. "Wicked," which is adapted from the famed Broadway musical of the same name, is hitting theaters after being talked about for years. Now, it's a reality. Cynthia Erivo ("Harriet") and Ariana Grande ("Don't Look Up") lead the cast of director Jon M. Chu's star-studded musical. It's a big movie that already has a sequel on the way. So, did Universal do a little extra something to help tee up the ball for next year's "Wicked: Part Two"?

Credits scenes are a pretty regular thing these days, with Marvel films and other franchise fare often using them to help set up future installments. Given that "Wicked" was split into two parts in 2022 (with good reason), it wouldn't be surprising if such tactics were employed by Chu here. With that being the case, we're here to offer up a...

Josh O’Connor has joined the cast of the untitled film from Steven Spielberg, where he will star alongside Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Colin Firth (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Colman Domingo (Euphoria) and Eve Hewson (Hedda).

We don’t know much about the project itself, only that it’s said to be a UFO movie based on Spielberg’s own original idea, with David Koepp (Jurassic Park) writing the screenplay. A UFO movie from the man who gave us Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and War of the Worlds is pretty much all I need to know. Bring it on. Universal Pictures has already slated the project for a May 15, 2026 release.

Exclusive: On the back of Smile 2‘s box office success, Raúl Castillo has come aboard for a supporting role in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, 20th Century Studios’ remake of the classic 1992 psychological thriller, starring Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Castillo takes over the part of Michael Bartel as the architect husband of Winstead’s character, portrayed in the original film by Annabella Sciorra. Claire Bartel is happily married and pregnant for the second time when she becomes the target of a dark plot on the part of a nanny — originally portrayed by Rebecca De Mornay, and now by Monroe. Directed by Curtis Hanson, the original watches as Peyton infiltrates the lives of the Bartel family after experiencing personal and professional ruin, slowly gaining their trust while manipulating them from within. Her ultimate goal? To destroy Claire and assume her place within her family.

At the time, Universal were quick to note that Production Weekly's cast listing didn't constitute official confirmation of anything, and the rumour mill swiftly wound down for a spell.

Here at JoBlo Horror Originals we talk a lot about gateway horror films. Depending on the generation you belong to, that can be a few different things. Kids of the 70s will always have Jaws as an introduction to horror and that movie is still a great way to introduce newer generations to the genre after almost 50 years. Two of my favorites from the 80’s, and two films that both my sons have seen, are The Gate and The Monster Squad. Again, both great and both still hold up as not only fun horror flicks but great ways to ease in the younger crowd. As a kid born in 1985, I am much more a child of the 90s so even if you hadn’t read the title of the video you clicked, you could probably guess that I saw Jurassic Park in theaters, it scared and enthralled me and made me want more.

The Jurassic Park franchise is one of the biggest in Hollywood history. First exploding onto the scene in 1993 with Steven Spielberg's triumphant box-office champion Jurassic Park, the film series continued with two sequels throughout the '90s and early 2000s before going dormant for over a decade. It then returned with a vengeance in 2015 with Jurassic World, which exceeded its iconic predecessor at the box office and subsequently produced two more larger-than-life sequels.

The Jurassic World chapter concluded with Dominion in 2022 but its success ensured that the franchise would continue beyond that. A new sequel titled Jurassic World: Rebirth was announced for the summer of 2025, and it has since added a very star-studded cast to its name. That cast includes Marvel icon Scarlett Johansson, Bridgerton sensation Jonathan Bailey, Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali, and Dead Boy Detectives star David Iacono.

Real cinephiles know that Letterboxd, where you can log movies you've watched and discuss them, is the best social media site, and one of the best things Letterboxd does is ask celebrities to list their four favorite movies. Before the release of her romantic comedy "No Hard Feelings," Letterboxd caught up with Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence to ask about her four favorite movies, and the entire concept seemed to deeply stress her out.

"Oh my god, that is so much pressure, because I'm really bad at remembering the titles," Lawrence exclaimed in the YouTube short before remembering the titles of three different movies. "I mean, 'Jurassic Park,'" she began, shouting out Steven Spielberg's beloved science fiction adventure flick, before naming Renée Zellweger's romantic comedy "Bridget Jones's Diary" next. Third on her list? Director Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel "Pride & Prejudice" featuring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen,...

DreamWorks Animation often goes toe-to-toe with Walt Disney Studios to produce spectacular films. The former holds an appeal for producing more mature and out-of-the-box characters along with political and pop-cultural jokes in their storylines.

The Prince of Egypt is considered to be a classic, featuring a star cast of Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren, and more. Based on the Book of Exodus, the story closely follows the journey of the heroic messiah Moses as he learns of his ultimate destiny. However, most fans don’t know that Steven Spielberg had a huge role in the early draft of the plot, though he went uncredited.

We’re just over a month away from 2024 end, and with the New Year on the Horizon, Empire Magazine is jumping ahead with some previews of some of the significant franchise content coming in 2025. The first of them? The new “Jurassic World Rebirth” installment, the latest continuation in the “Jurassic Park” saga, takes place after “Jurassic World Dominion” and introduces an entirely new cast.

The next installment in the Jurassic World franchise is officially titled Jurassic World Rebirth, and Empire Online has exclusively shared the very first image this afternoon.

Scarlett Johansson plays covert operations expert Zora Bennett in Jurassic World Rebirth, and you can check out the full image below for a sneak peek at her dino-hunting adventure.

Universal will release Jurassic World Rebirth in theaters on July 2, 2025.

The studio previews, “This action-packed new chapter sees an intrepid team racing to secure DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air.”

Here’s the full official plot synopsis: “Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug...

The Jurassic franchise has been through all kinds of evolutions already. There was Spielberg’s classic original Jurassic Park, which led to The Lost World and Jurassic Park III. And then in 2015 began the Jurassic World trilogy, giving us a fully-fledged dinosaur theme park before letting the pre-historic beasts loose on the world. Now, Jurassic is about to be reborn – quite literally, with Jurassic World Rebirth ready to bare its teeth. This time, Godzilla and Monsters director Gareth Edwards is putting his scaly-beast expertise to good use, working from a script by original Park scribe David Koepp – ready to take the saga back to the source.

“It goes back to what I loved about the original,” Edwards tells Empire in our Andor Season 2 issue, “with an embarrassment of riches of different set-piece-type scenarios and tense, fun action moments. There were a lot of opportunities as a filmmaker to have a...

Early on in Denzel Washington's brilliant career, he gave critics a preview of how he was going to play the movie star game going forward -- and they weren't pleased. In between making acclaimed dramas like "Cry Freedom," "Glory," and "Mississippi Masala," Washington cut loose and sought to build up some box office cred in formulaic action movies like "Heart Condition" and "Ricochet." Reviewers who viewed Washington as a major star in the making were disappointed with, if not aghast at, his choices. What a colossal waste of the man's time and talent, they reasoned, to run around in his boxer shorts after John Lithgow in full glazed ham mode. Then he'd go and make "Malcolm X," and everyone would hush up until a frivolity like "Virtuosity" dropped.

Washington had it right. If he wanted to ensure more movies like "Malcolm X" or "Philadelphia" got made further down the line,...

Jeff Goldblum’s film career started in a particularly auspicious manner since his first four films were all highly regarded works of the early 1970s: “Death Wish”, “California Split”, “Nashville” and “Next Stop, Greenwich Village.” He continued to work in film and television for the next four decades and even returned to Broadway a few times, most notably in the highly regarded Martin McDonough play “The Pillowman.”

Along the way Goldblum has picked up a number of award nominations including an Oscar nomination for Best Live Action Short Film for “Little Surprises.” He received an Emmy nomination for a guest appearance on “Will and Grace” in 2005. He also was a nominee for Best Actor for two of the most prestigious critics awards groups for his work in “The Fly.” Both the New York Film’s Critics and the National Society of Film Critics named him as one of the top three actors of the year.

The courtroom has not only given out justice, but some of the very best films cinema has to offer. Legendary, and brilliant films such as 12 Angry Men, Witness for the Prosecution, Anatomy of a Murder, and my personal favourite, The Verdict. There was a time when the courtroom drama was a staple piece of the cinematic world, recently that staple has faded away… along with many other genres. The courtroom drama is hard to find in modern times, and Clint Eastwoods new film Juror #2, is also, in its own way hard to find. Limited screen releases have made the legendary filmmaker’s latest film hard to find at your local cinema, and its limited release is questionable, when it feels...

And while Spielberg’s Jurassic Park was not a horror movie, the fact that you are isolated on an island with a bunch of dinosaurs definitely sounds scary. In light of that, we are glad to inform you – if you are a fan of horror movies and dinosaurs – that a new horror movie focused on humans battling dinosaurs is coming soon.

Primitive War might not be a title you’ve heard of or a title that will sweep the box office, but the premise certainly seems interesting and we are certain that horror fans will like the movie, which is coming out next year.

The movie’s first teaser trailer has just been released, and that is what actually inspired this report, in which you are going to see the trailer, as well as get all the necessary information about the movie and its cast and crew. So, if you’re interested,...

Jonathan Bailey revealed the star who has played a special role in his career and more in a new interview.

The 36-year-old actor has lined up a string of impressive projects in recent years, culminating in his starring role in Wicked and an upcoming one in the Jurassic Park franchise.

Of course, his elevated status makes him very recognizable to fans. He opened up about that experience, too.

When it comes to the box office battle between Universal’s Wicked, in which Jeff Goldblum plays the Wizard, and Paramount’s Gladiator II, it will not be a survival of the fittest.

Deadline’s Natalie Sitek asked him at Saturday night’s Wicked LA premiere about the Glicked effect that’s expected to take place at the box office on Nov. 22 with Wicked expected to do $85M+ and Gladiator II north of $65M, and Goldblum emphasized, “”Nobody’s in competition — it’s an abundance mentality world with enough to go around.” Also, don’t forget, Disney’s Moana 2 is opening five days after Wicked with female moviegoers expected to do another go-round at cinemas over the Thanksgiving 5-day period.

“That’s part of the theme of our show!” he continued.

Duly note, that the actor of Annie Hall, The Fly, Transylvania 6-5000 and Jurassic Park said, “I want to see Gladiator II!

Jeff Goldblum is handing off the dinosaur-sized torch to “Wicked” co-star Jonathan Bailey.

Bailey is taking on the role of paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis in the latest “Jurassic Park” film, “Jurassic World Rebirth” – and nobody’s more excited to see it than Goldblum.

“The hope of the world resides, and I can think of no better baton receiver to carry on the ‘da da da da da,'” Goldblum tells Variety, singing the iconic “Jurassic Park” theme by John Williams. “It’s Jonathan Bailey! It’s like no other!”

Bailey shares that he and Goldblum chatted about the role for the first time while they were en route to CinemaCon earlier this year. “I had the invitation to join the ‘Jurassic’ world, to join the conga line led by Jeff,” Bailey said. “The original film was a seminal cinematic moment, purely because of Jeff, but also, I went with my family,...

Apart from pricey trips to Universal Studios and the odd Spanish “Krasty Burger” location, it’s basically impossible for us humans to enter the cartoon world of The Simpsons. That being said, one lucky person somewhere in America is driving around in Homer Simpson’s car, hopefully keeping their eyes peeled for chestnut trees.

For the entire time that the show has been on the air, Homer has been driving around in his trademark pink sedan, although there’s been some debate as to what type of car it is exactly. One fan wiki page called it a “1973 Plymouth Valiant” until a Season 28 episode referred to it as a “1986 Plymouth Junkerolla.” Oh, and it was apparently built in Croatia using “old Soviet tanks.”

Simpsons fans recently noticed that just last month, an exact replica of Homer’s car was listed for sale in Muskegon, Michigan, according to an ad posted on Facebook Marketplace.

Last month, 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell confirmed that a sequel to director Fede Alvarez’s recently released Alien: Romulus is in the works – so when The Hollywood Reporter mentioned in an article that producer Ridley Scott “revealed he’s developing a new Alien movie for 20th in the wake of Romulus’ success,” they’re probably talking about that Romulus sequel… even though Scott thinks a better choice would be to make a follow-up to his 2017 film Alien: Covenant.

Scott told THR, “Covenant is the best one [for a sequel] because it leaves the girl in the [cryo pod] and [Michael Fassbender’s killer android] David has alien eggs and 2,000 colonists hanging around. It’s a perfect beginning.” Interviewer James Hibberd suggested that the next film could be a sequel to both Covenant and Romulus, since “both films ended with ships headed to a planet we’ve never been to; there’s no reason...

During an interview, Steven Spielberg reflected on his decision not to watch his own movies (Photo Credit – Amazon Prime Video)

Steven Spielberg doesn’t watch his films! Ahan, who brought us Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Schindler’s List, would rather skip right past them if they pop up on TV.

So, what gives? Spielberg shared his “no rewatch” policy while promoting Spielberg, the HBO documentary chronicling his legendary career. He explained to E! News that his approach is simple: he doesn’t “dwell.” As soon as one movie’s done, it’s onto the next project—no rewinds, no replays. For Spielberg, it’s all about looking forward. “I don’t dwell,” he said, hinting that reliving his past films might feel like revisiting old homework.

The one exception to Spielberg’s hard rule is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. But even then,...

Emily Blunt is one of the biggest actors in the business right now. Not only has she been starring in beloved movies such as "The Devil Wears Prada" or "Edge of Tomorrow" for nearly two decades, but she's also now an Oscar winner thanks to her work in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer." Like most people who star in movies, Blunt is also a big fan of movies. No surprise there. But what's her favorite movie? Demonstrating good taste, it's an absolute classic directed by none other than Steven Spielberg.

"I always say 'Jaws,' people are sick of hearing me say that," Blunt said when asked what her four favorite movies are during a red carpet interview at SXSW 2024 with Letterboxd. "It's an incredible, perfect film." Indeed, she has been vocal about her love of "Jaws" for a long time.

If you've never seen "Goodfellas," it's probably best you stop what you're doing and watch Martin Scorsese's seminal mob flick now. The film is only one of the best mob movies you need to see immediately, and alongside "The Godfather" occupies a hallowed space within the genre. Luckily, for those that are somehow uninitiated, "Goodfellas" is now streaming over on Max, where it's managing to prove its worth as an undisputed classic all over again.

Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, who co-write "Goodfellas" with Scorsese, the film tells the story of Henry Hill, a Brooklyn kid whose dreams of joining the mob are fulfilled after Robert DeNiro's Jimmy Conway takes him under his wing. Spanning three decades, the movie is a sweeping look at the life of a gangster, depicting all the glamor that comes with it while also not shying away from the brutality...

Warner Bros. is seeking to throw out a lawsuit filed by the estate of Michael Crichton, which argued that the forthcoming Max series “The Pitt” is an unauthorized reboot of “ER.”

Crichton was a creator of “ER,” having written the original pilot script based on his own experiences as a medical student. His widow, Sherri, sued in August, accusing John Wells, Noah Wyle and others of going behind her back to create “The Pitt,” which she alleged is “ER” in all but its title.

The studio filed a motion Monday arguing that the two shows are distinct and the lawsuit is doomed to fail.

“‘The Pitt’ is a completely different show from ‘ER,'” the motion states. “Plaintiff cannot use Mr. Crichton’s ‘ER’ contract as a speech-stifling weapon to prevent Defendants from ever making a show about emergency medicine.”

Chris Pratt published an op-ed a few days before Election Day on his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s website, Sunday Paper, in which he said that he’s focused less on who becomes our next president and more on making sure Americans continue to help one another regardless of the election outcome. Pratt did not publicly endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in his op-ed, which resulted in some fan disappointment on social media.

“I write this now because about half of the voting population is going to be incredibly disappointed on November 6th,” Pratt wrote. “But for me, the question is not, ‘Did your candidate win or lose?’ but rather, ‘Will you wake up the next morning and help an old lady move?'”

“It’s Ok to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror. But if we...

Hayden Christensen is going to have to use more than the force if he’s going to be part of a championship NASCAR team. But he’s giving it a go, leading a promotional video for the new Darth Vader-inspired Star Wars car and helmet for NASCAR. Check out the car:

For the design, Doug Chiang, an executive designer at Lucasfilm, had to figure out how to incorporate Darth Vader – and, thus, the Dark Side – into the vehicle’s scheme, which would then be complemented by the Star Wars title on the hood of the NASCAR . As for his love of both Star Wars and Hayden Christensen, Chiang said, “I just love Hayden. I love his character and I love what he brings to it, and so I’m hoping that this design will pay respect to both Hayden and Vader.” You can check out the promo video below:...

John Williams “has made a gigantic contribution to the world of music at large, beginning with making film music legitimate but also his concert work.” For our recent webchat, director and producer Laurent Bouzereau makes that claim about the subject of his new documentary “Music by John Williams,” which now streaming on Disney+. In fact, Bouzereau ranks Williams as the #1 composer of the 20th century, ahead of Gershwin, McCartney/Lennon and Simon, adding, “My argument is that there are very few people” (especially who started in the 1960s and 1970s) who “have survived the test of time.”

He admits that he’s “been preparing for this my entire life” by watching the films of Steven Spielberg with the scores by maestro Williams. He adds that it’s “an honor to be the one who tells this story, because I’m not the first one to approach John. He said ‘no’ many times,...

As commercially successful as the "Jurassic World" trilogy was, it was creatively bankrupt. Sure, it had some good ideas, like exploring what would happen if a version of Jurassic Park actually opened to the public. Be that as it may, those films squandered their coolest elements by going instead with the safest and most boring route at every opportunity — like basically forgetting about the dinosaurs and ending with "Jurassic World Dominion," a movie that focuses on ... prehistoric bugs.

This last bit is important, because the idea of dinosaurs free in the world was without a doubt the best thing the "Jurassic World" movies promised, and we are finally seeing it happen — just not on the big screen. That's because it's the animated series "Jurassic World: Chaos Theory" that's taking up the mantle of delivering on the promise of the movies, which was only briefly hinted at in the "Battle at Big Rock" short film.

Fans of dinosaur movies are going to love The Invisible Raptor, a film which really is just as crazy as it sounds. Directed by Mike Hermosa, who also helmed Dutch Hollow and Wildflower, the plot of The Invisible Raptor focuses on an invisible velociraptor which was created by scientists before breaking free from captivity and slaughtering everything in its path.

With law enforcement not being able to determine the culprit behind the attacks, it falls to failed palaeontologist Dr. Grant Walker (Mike Capes) and his security guard friend, Deniel ‘Denny’ Denielson (David Shackelford), to save the day. As the bodycount continues to rise (with the spectacular gruesome kills being one of the film’s strongest qualities), Walker and Denielson are forced to resort to drastic measures in order to stop the invisible reptile.

In addition to playing the lead role of Dr. Grant Walker, Capes also penned the screenplay for The Invisible Raptor,...

The internet is reacting to a “new” rumor from World of Reel that indicates a new Pirates of the Caribbean film will start shooting in 2025 without Johnny Depp. While this isn’t surprising, fans’ reaction to this “news” has not been good.

Does this mean Johnny Depp is not returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in a Pirates of the Caribbean Film?

Currently, no.

If the report is true, this film would be the reboot with an all-new cast and no Captain Jack (Johnny Depp.)

But what about the plans for the two films?

There have been plans to do two “Pirates of the Caribbean” films for a while now. One was meant to be a reboot with a new cast, and the other was a female-centric film that was originally to star Margo Robbie.

While it looked like the Margo Robbie one could be canceled, “Barbie” came out, and now...

Disney+ has released Music by John Williams, a new documentary that honors the legendary composer whose music has defined cinema for more than 70 years. With over 120 films and countless accolades, John Williams has set a standard in film scoring that few have even come close to matching. From Star Wars and Indiana Jones to Harry Potter and Jurassic Park, Williams’ soundtracks have become iconic and unmistakable. Here’s a look at five key takeaways from this intimate look into the life of one of the most celebrated composers of all time.

1. A Journey from Jazz Pianist to Oscar Legend

Williams’ path to becoming a film-scoring giant began with his love for jazz. Starting as a jazz pianist, he later found his way into film scoring and achieved extraordinary success, with 54 Oscar nominations and five wins. Williams’ versatility in genres and his adaptability over the years are evident in this documentary,...

(L-r): John Williams and Steven Spielberg in Lucasfilm’s Music By John Williams, exclusively on Disney+. ©2024 Lucasfilm Ltd. & Tm. All Rights Reserved. If you’re a movie fan, chances are you’ve spent more time listening to John Williams’s music than the Beatles, Taylor Swift, or any other musician. Over the course of his 70-year career, Williams has written the scores and/or themes to hundreds of films, earning an amazing 54 Oscar nominations along the way. (He’s won five times.) He had a Top 10 pop hit with the main title theme from Star Wars back in 1977, and his music has been featured in all of the Star Wars films, but Williams’s most enduring partnership may well be with Steven Spielberg. Three of Williams’s Oscar wins came from Spielberg’s movies — Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Schindler’s List — and they’ve worked together on several other films,...
