Maggie Grace, Josh Holloway & Ian Somerhalder Celebrate “Lost” at PaleyFest - imdb

Image
It has been way too long since we've seen this crew together, and last night (March 16) Maggie Grace, Ian Somerhalder and Josh Holloway reunited with their "Lost" costars at The Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest 2014 Honoring "Lost: 10th Anniversary Reunion." The beautiful trio was joined by Jorge Garcia, Henry Ian Cusick, Yunjin Kim and Malcolm David Kelley while honchos Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse fielded questions about the mysterious series finale. When asked if the characters had been dead the whole time, Cuse declared, "No, no, no. They were not dead the whole time. At the end of the series finale, [an ABC exec] thought it would be good to have a buffer between when you have the end of the show and when they cut to say, a Clorox commercial." "We didn't have a lot of extra footage lying around, but we had footage of the plane wreckage on the beach.

RETRO REVIEW: The Mummy is the Last Great Adventure Film of the 20th Century and Brendan Fraser's Best Film - CBR

Image
Stephen Sommers' The Mummy (1999) begins in 1290 BC. Courtesy of Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), voiceover sets the scene: " Thebes, City of the Living. Crown jewel of Pharaoh Seti I. Home of Imhotep, Pharaoh's high priest, keeper of the dead; birthplace of Anck-su-Namun, Pharaoh's mistress ." As it turns out, Anck-su-Namun (Patricia Velasquez) is also the object of affection of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) -- which is strictly verboten. A smudge in the mistress' gold body paint tells the Pharaoh that Anck-su-Namun has been tarnished. Moments later, Imhotep and Anck-su-Nanum kill the Pharoah. Imhotep absconds into the night, promising to resurrect Anck-su-Namun as she stays to face the wrath of the guards, the Medjai. Later, in Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead -- where most of The Mummy 's action will occur -- Imhotep and his loyal subjects, fanatical cultists who worship the Book of the Dead, attempt to revivify Anck-Su-Namun. But t...

Michael Gandolfini Looks Nearly Identical to His Late Father on Set of 'The Sopranos' Prequel - Yahoo Singapore News

Image
This brand-new photo of Michael Gandolfini on the set of The Sopranos prequel is making us do a double take. The 19-year-old actor was recently spotted filming The Many Saints of Newark in New York City, and he looks just like his late father, James Gandolfini. (In the movie, Michael portrays a young version of Tony Soprano, a role that his dad played for six seasons on the popular HBO series The Sopranos .) The pic shows Michael on the set of the prequel wearing brown pants, a gold chain and a green-striped shirt, and he could practically pass as his father's twin (with hair of course). We first learned about Michael's involvement back in January when he announced that he's following in his father's footsteps (literally). The young actor released a statement in which he revealed that he couldn't be more thrilled to reprise the iconic character. "It's a profound honor to continue my dad's legacy while stepping into the shoes...

Why Jurassic Park Made Richard Attenborough Come Out Of Acting Retirement - Screen Rant

Image
If a representative of Jurassic Park had not run interference, the late Richard Attenborough would have stayed in acting retirement instead of appearing in the role of John Hammond. By the time of his unforgettable stint in the 1993 Jurassic Park blockbuster, Attenborough had already boasted an extensive career in Hollywood. After serving in the Royal Air Force in the Second World War, the young Attenborough would go on not only to act, but to produce, direct, and head drama schools and associations. His performance as Jurassic Park 's wealthy CEO may be one of Attenborough's most recognizable roles, but he is also well remembered for his parts in Doctor Doolittle , The Sand Pebbles , The Great Escape , and countless more. Alongside building a notable acting career, Attenborough forged his own production company and would later proceed to direct several nominated/award-winning movies, at which point his interest in acting gradually subsided.

All About Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin's Children - PEOPLE

Image
The Baldwin bunch is big and bonded. Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, share seven children together — welcoming their youngest, daughter Ilaria Catalina Irena, on Sept. 22, 2022. "Our new baby is a very bright spot in our lives. A blessing and a gift during such uncertain times," wrote Hilaria on Instagram ahead of the baby's arrival. The lengthy caption was paired with a video that featured Alec and Hilaria playing with their kids after she told them a baby was on the way. The uncertain times Hilaria was referring to were related to the accidental shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Baldwin's film Rust . Having held the gun that caused the fatal wound, Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023. The charges were eventually dropped. However, he was charged a second time in January 2024. Hilaria Thomas Baldwin/Instagram The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, shares t...

‘Fire Country’ Star Max Thieriot Likes to Watch Things Grow - The New York Times

Image
For Max Thieriot, one of the creators and the star of the CBS series "Fire Country," all roads lead back to his roots. He was raised on a vineyard off the coast of Sonoma in Northern California. And for a while, he lived nearby on 90 acres of his own with his wife and two sons. But "Fire Country" — about prison inmates joining elite firefighters to battle the region's blazes in exchange for shorter sentences — shoots near Vancouver, British Columbia. So Thieriot, 35, moved his family to rural Washington, where his kids could continue to run around with the chickens and the goats. "I wanted to try and keep the same lifestyle for my wife and my boys, and not to totally upend their world," he said. Alas, Thieriot still has wine in his blood. About 14 years ago, he and a couple of childhood friends started their own vineyard. The big lesson? "It's much faster to do, and makes a lot more sense, when you have an entire crew," he admitted before...

Hayden Christensen Goes Back to the Bacta Tank in New ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Behind-the-Scenes Clip (EXCLUSIVE) - Variety

Image
In "Obi-Wan Kenobi," Lucasfilm resurrected more with its 2022 series for Disney+ than just the eponymous Jedi Master, who'd gone into hiding after the events of "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith." The show also rekindled his greatest conflict — perhaps his greatest failure — with former apprentice Anakin Skywalker, transformed by the dark side of the Force into Sith Lord Darth Vader. And it additionally brought back multiple elements of franchise iconography that go all of the way back to the original films — in particular, the bacta tank. For many years identified by the water-filled tube where Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) convalesced after his wampa encounter in "The Empire Strikes Back," the bacta tank has since become synonymous with the healing of his yet-unbeknownst father Vader, who first appeared in it in Gareth Edwards' "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." In "Obi-Wan Kenobi," audiences get to see the Sith ...
