Shawn Levy ist mit "Free Guy" ein intelligenter Film gelungen, der sicherlich auf den Schultern von Riesen steht: Zu nennen sind da vor allem zwei Werke, die Filmgeschichte geschrieben haben: "Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" und "Die #TrumanShow". In dem einen erlebt Bill Murray den immer gleichen Tag, in dem anderen muss Jim Carrey erkennen, dass er sein gesamtes Leben in der Kulisse eines Fernsehstudios verbracht hat. In "Free Guy" sieht plötzlich #RyanReynolds - dank einer Sonnenbrille, womit auch John Carpenters #TheyLive" die Referenz erwiesen wird, dass er sich in einem Computerspiel befindet. Schlimmer noch: Er ist lediglich ein NPC. Hollywood reagiert nun immer häufiger auf die inzwischen einflussreichere Gaming-Industrie, doch "Free Guy" ist keineswegs eine weitere Anbiederung an ein Game-affines Publikum, sondern eine raffinierte Auseinandersetzung mit den verschiedenen Medien und großen gesellschaftlichen Fragen.

Gespickt mit weiteren hochkarätigen Darstellern wie Robin Williams, Dick van Dyke, Owen WIlson und einem damals noch unbekannten Rami Malek, erschuf man eine charmante Komödie für Jung und Alt.

Sophia hat sich Onno geschnappt, um über den Charme der Trilogie zu sprechen und ob alle drei Teile das Level halten können und heute noch funktionieren.Wenn Ihr also wissen wollt, was nach Schließung in einem typischen Museum so passiert, verpasst nicht die aktuelle Episode von RUHE IM SAAL!——

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesWith the MCU's latest big screen offering now in theaters, as rabid fans, it only makes sense to look to the future, and apparently Marvel and Sony agree, as myriad fresh details surrounding the franchise's next film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day began hitting the internet all weekend. First, last Friday morning Sony released a 9-second video teasing features of Spidey's new suit, which was quickly followed up with a 23-second video with star Tom Holland, in suit, performing some minor acrobatics the next day. Finally, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the longstanding rumor that Mark Ruffalo is reprising his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk for the film, while Better Call Saul actor, Michael Mando, was also announced to be returning as Mac Gargan/The Scorpion.The Fantastic Four: First Steps continued its box office reign, raking in $39.6 million its second weekend for a $368 million total global haul. While far from a defeat, the staggering 67% drop from the flick's first weekend presents a significant loss in momentum and is in stark contrast with expectations, which were largely fueled by positive reception and strong word of mouth among critics and fans. Elsewhere, Superman crossed the $550 million milestone internationally, and Jurassic World: Rebirth passed $750 million at the global box office after 5 weeks in theaters, becoming only the third film of 2025 to do so behind Lilo & Stitch and A Minecraft Movie. Amazon MGM's upcoming James Bond film being directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, is quickly coming together as Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has been hired to pen the script. Apart from Peaky Blinders, Knight has enjoyed a storied career on the small screen as a screenwriter, director and producer involved with projects such as Apple TV's See and Netflix's All The Light We Cannot See, while also co-creating Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? As far as big screen contributions, he wrote the screenplays for Eastern Promises and Spencer, which were both Oscars-nominated, and directed the films Hummingbird, Locke and Serenity, the 2019 film starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. Considering candidates for our new Bond, as if we could ever get enough of Tom Holland, the actor went on record to voice his reverence for the role as the “pinnacle” for British actors, while seemingly disqualifying himself by announcing another break from acting in 2027.Per Deadline, Matt Smith has joined the cast of Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter in a villain role, set to appear alongside Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth in the film set for May 28, 2027. The House of the Dragon star gets another shot at the Star Wars universe after previously being cast in The Rise of Skywalker but ultimately not appearing in the final film.John Krasinski announced he's returning to direct, write and produce A Quiet Place Part III, set for release on July 9, 2027; no cast or story details have been revealed.Disney and Lucasfilm announced Star Wars: A New Hope will return to theaters on April 30, 2027, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film.Aaron Sorkin has his sights set on Oscar winner Mikey Madison and Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White to star in The Social Network Part II, with Madison potentially playing a whistleblower and White as journalist Jeff Horwitz behind the explosive Facebook Files exposé. While no formal offers have been made, sources say these are Sorkin's top choices for the sequel that will explore Facebook's role in various controversies rather than serving as a direct continuation of the 2010 film.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we're breaking down the exciting casting news for Lucasfilm's upcoming film, Star Wars: Starfighter. Matt Smith, best known for House of the Dragon and Doctor Who, has joined the cast as the film's villain. He'll star alongside Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth, with direction by Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Deadpool & Wolverine). We speculate on Smith's potential role—perhaps an Imperial leader or Tie fighter pilot—and highlight the creative team that's making Starfighter one of the more promising Star Wars projects on the horizon.Timestamps and Topics:00:00 – Matt Smith cast in Star Wars: Starfighter00:05 – Potential role breakdown and how he fits in with Ryan Gosling00:17 – Shawn Levy's direction and previous work00:31 – Release expectations and other Star Wars projects00:45 – Why Starfighter might be a win for LucasfilmKey Takeaways:Matt Smith is confirmed as the villain in Star Wars: Starfighter.He joins Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth in the cast.Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Deadpool & Wolverine) is directing.The film's script is by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee, Warrior).Projected release window could be late 2026.Compared to other upcoming Star Wars films, Starfighter feels more stable and promising.Memorable Quote:"Matt Smith is going to be either a Tie fighter pilot or maybe like some Imperial leader.

My interview with Shawn Levy, author of "Clint: The Man and the Movies"

“He's a little hobgoblin in this one!” - Steve on Mickey Rooney On the season 15 finale of WHM, we're chatting about the hyper-successful, super-weird family film, Night at the Museum! How obnoxious is this day-dreamer, inventor character they have Stiller playing? Has no one else ever worked late at this museum besides the security team? Is there no overnight janitorial staff? Did anyone else have “Mickey Rooney Fight Scene” on their Night at the Museum bingo card? Could this script have cared any less about Carla Gugino's character? And dear lord, Ricky Gervais in Big Box Hollywood films, glad those days are gone! PLUS: Should we bring back Mickey Rooney Old Man insults like “hopscotch” and “hot dog” and “cement mixer”? Night at the Museum stars Ben Stiller, Carla Gugino, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs, Jake Cherry, Ricky Gervais, Patrick Gallagher, Rami Malek, Charlie Murphy, Steve Coogan, Mizuo Peck, Paul Rudd, Anne Meara, Brad Garrett, Crystal the Monkey, Owen Wilson, and the late, great Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt; directed by Shawn Levy.

CLINT is the first major biography of Eastwood in over twenty years. Two of the most prominent earlier biographies were both comprehensive in covering the work and the life, but approached Eastwood with wildly different perspectives. One was fawning and overly respectful, ignoring any of Eastwood's faults, while the other one came at Eastwood harshly and didn't reckon with Eastwood as an actor and director as much as it focused on his personal missteps and failings. These books were also, obviously, unable to cover the substantial and award-winning work that Eastwood has produced in the 21st century. In covering the life and work of Eastwood, Levy's CLINT takes the middle ground, "where Clint and his work could be described and evaluated from a position of neither acquiescence nor denigration. It was possible for a book to celebrate the man and his work and deeds while acknowledging the flaws-and worse-in him, his choices, and, yes, his films."In a career spanning more than six decades, Clint Eastwood has captured the rugged essence of American manhood and morality, both on and off the screen. We picture him most immediately as he has appeared to us on screen: squinting through cigarillo smoke in A Fistful of Dollars or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly imposing rough justice at the point of a .44 Magnum in Dirty Harry; sowing moral vengeance in The Outlaw Josey Wales or Pale Rider; abandoning farming for murder-for-hire in Unforgiven; grudgingly training a woman boxer in Million Dollar Baby; standing up for his neighbors despite his racism toward them in Gran Torino. But those are roles, however well-cast and convincing, and they are two-dimensional in comparison to the whole life. The reality of Clint Eastwood is far more rich, knotty, and absorbing-a saga of cunning, determination, and conquest, a great American story about a man ascending to the Hollywood pantheon while keeping a gimlet eye on its ways and habits and one foot firmly planted outside its door.Yet, the story of Clint Eastwood is far more than his cinematic characters. As a director, he has crafted masterful narratives, winning thirteen Oscars, including two for Best Picture. His films explore American cultural and political climates with depth and understanding, embodying the contradictions and triumphs of contemporary America.But beyond the screen, who is Clint Eastwood?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A towering figure in the history of the Western, Clint Eastwood redefined the image of the lone hero with his portrayal of the flint-eyed, morally ambiguous gunslinger in Sergio Leone's influential “Dollars Trilogy.” Later, as a director, he fused the stylized detachment of the Italian subgenre with the classic structure of the Hollywood Western — and created a series of unforgettable films that deconstructed the myths of the Old West and earned critical acclaim, including the Academy Award for Best Picture. On this very special episode, bestselling author Shawn Levy joins us to discuss his brand new biography, Clint: The Man and the Movies.And stick around for a bonus interview with returning guest Mark Swan, who shares his thoughts about Eastwood's Westerns and offers a behind-the-scenes look at his new album, All the Gold in the West!Click HERE to purchase Shawn Levy's book. Click HERE to purchase Mark Swan's album.You can find and follow Shawn Levy HEREYou can find and follow Mark Swan (aka Rex Hooper) HERE

In the wake of that announcement Gunn took the opportunity to address fan questions surrounding the film's runtime, which he confirmed to be 2 hours and 9 minutes including credits and post credit scenes, while also kiboshing any speculation that Warner Bros had forced a shorter, mandated runtime, saying there was zero truth to it and that Warner Bros could not have interfered even if they wanted to, as it's a DC Studios film.
