Kevin Milne feared he might “never see my wife again” as she drove off in a car with Sir Sam Neill for horse-riding lessons, but the equally shy pair were instead like “two 15-year-olds on a first date”. The former Fair Go presenter this morning shared a touching story of when his wife Linda Milne helped the future movie superstar prepare for his role in the 1979 Australian period drama My Brilliant Career. Linda's experience matched the contrast between the “commanding characters that the great man played and the quiet, almost shy, person he was personally”, Milne told Newstalk ZB's Saturday Mornings with Jack Tame. Tributes for the Kiwi star of the big screen best known for his leading role in Jurassic Park have been shared around the world since he died aged 78 of pneumonia in a Sydney hospital on Monday. “I've a story that goes back to when Sam had just become a household name in New Zealand [after] he had played the lead role of Smith in Sleeping Dogs [in 1977]”, Milne told Tame. The couple had known Neill for a year or two when he called asking if Linda could coach him on how to manage a horse on hills, as he'd just landed a role in My Brilliant Career. Sam Neill needed to hone his horse-riding skills for a starring role in 1979 Australian period drama My Brilliant Career. “Sam was a lad of gentle charm and exceptionally good looks. For Linda, a very shy 22-year-old, the thought of spending an afternoon on her own with the gorgeous Sam Neill freaked her a bit. “Anyway, they head off in the car together, two gorgeous people on the journey to where Linda kept her horse. I feared I might never see my wife again.” But Linda quickly discovered the accomplished actor whose future credits would include The Piano and Hunt for the Wilderpeople was “every bit as shy as she was”. “As they drove along, not only was she struggling to get a sentence out to Sam, but the star of Sleeping Dogs was having equal difficulty thinking of what to say to her. “They were like two 15-year-olds on a first date. For a long time, she says, there was awkward silence.” A stop at the dairy helped break the ice when his wife Linda Milne, left, helped actor Sam Neill prepare a role in 1979's My Brilliant Career, says former Fair Go presenter Kevin Milne, centre. Also pictured is Tommie Milne, the youngest of Kevin and Linda Milne's four children. Photo / Hagen Hopkins Fortunately, a shop came into view, Milne said. “Sam broke the ice … ‘Shall we stop at the dairy and I'll buy some Summer Rolls?' A very sweet offer from the movie star, which Linda accepted. “Communications must have improved enough for Linda to show Sam how to handle a horse on hills, because the following year we watched him do it up on the big screen, so strikingly, so elegantly in the highly successful My Brilliant Career.” Cherie Howie is an Auckland-based reporter who joined the Herald in 2011.

As you no doubt will have heard, yesterday we lost perhaps the finest actor New Zealand has ever produced, Sir Sam Neill, at the age of 78. From Kiwi classics like 'Sleeping Dogs' and 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople', to arthouse darlings like 'Possession', and blockbuster hits like 'Jurassic Park', the breadth of Sam's career was astonishing. Tributes have been pouring in from around the world today from the likes of Steven Speilberg, Jeff Goldblum, Toni Collette, Cillian Murphy, Jacinda Ardern, Christopher Luxon. Kiwi screen legend and a close friend of Sam's Ginette McDonald spoke to Emile. [picture id="4JLJJFY_GettyImages_129738219_jpg" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

New Zealand icon Sir Sam Neill has died and tributes are flying in from all over the world. The Jurassic Park actor passed away unexpectedly on Monday 13th July in Sydney surrounded by his family. Nick Mills spoke to NZ film producer and founder of Gibson Group Dave Gibson who shared his memories of Neill. While Neill was well-known for his international roles, Gibson says what really cemented him as a NZ icon was his "very, very kiwi parts", like Uncle Hec in Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Gibson said was "the top of the mountain" of Kiwi film and a great guy. "We don't have a lot of people like Sam." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EDITORIAL: I start the programme this morning with incredibly sad news that last night, New Zealand lost one of its true greats. Sir Sam Neill has died. Now, I'm not going to spend the next hour listing every film he made or every award he won, because, quite frankly, we already know what Sir Sam Neill achieved. We know the remarkable career he built. We know the incredible body of work he leaves behind. From Sleeping Dogs to The Piano, from Jurassic Park to Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and so many memorable performances in between, he became one of the most recognisable Kiwi faces worldwide. He didn't just represent New Zealand. He represented us with dignity, humour, intelligence and class. I'm so proud to think he was the person representing us on the world stage. Only a few months ago he was talking about beating cancer again. His family said he died suddenly, surrounded by those he loved, peacefully and with the dignity that defined his life. There's some comfort in that, even though the loss feels enormous. I've never actually met Sir Sam. The closest I ever came was years ago. There were always rumours he owned a house at the end of the street where I lived. One day I happened to see him standing quietly at the top of his driveway, waiting for a taxi. That was it. No conversation. No introduction. Just one of those little moments you remember. I'll remember exactly where I was when I heard he'd died. I was sitting in the car at the traffic lights outside Rutherford & Bond. Funny how news like this freezes a moment in time forever. Some people leave an impression on your life even if you never met them. Sir Sam Neill was one of those people. He was an extraordinary actor, a proud New Zealander, a storyteller, an internationally acclaimed winemaker, an advocate for the places and people he loved, and by all accounts, a genuinely decent human This morning isn't just about remembering a brilliant actor. It's about remembering one of us, one of our own, who became a true, true international icon. Sir Sam Neill. Rest in peace. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Neil opened the Total Celebrity segment with a re-aired call from Australia (9:30 PM local time) with Jurassic Park's Sam Neill on the New Zealand feature Hunt for the Wilderpeople from Boy and What We Do in the Shadows director Taika Waititi, then in select theaters. Sam played Hec, the grumpy old geezer paired against Julian Dennison's Ricky, a hip-hop-raised Māori foster kid who lands with Sam's isolated New Zealand couple as his last resort before tragedy strikes and the two end up on the run in the bush. Sam described the film as unsellable to genre (technically a comedy, but the emotional payoff is a warmth he had never gotten back on any of his previous credits), pointed to the Flight of the Conchords lineage that Taika comes out of, flagged its 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating, and the audience awards it kept collecting festival to festival. His wine label Two Paddocks is at TwoPaddocks.com and he is at @TwoPaddocks on Twitter; the film lives at #WilderPeople and Facebook.com/ForTheWilderPeople.Neil then welcomed retired first responder James Meuer, brought in by Books to Life Marketing, for his memoir Damaged: A First Responder's Experiences with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. James defined PTSD as a normal response to abnormal situations (a brain-based amygdala injury, not a physical wound), walked Neil through his own symptom cluster (unexplained explosions of anger over a dropped spoon, sleep loss, nightmares that replay calls, the "deer in the headlights" freeze his wife learned to recognize, hypervigilance he still cannot switch off in restaurants or in his own shop, and the pain-medication and alcohol addictions that followed a broken back and four or five broken hands from punching walls), the coping stack that finally worked for him (a PTSD service dog from Texas, part Great Dane part Dutch Shepherd; woodworking as therapy in his garage shop; music from Evanescence to Meghan Trainor to the Backstreet Boys at bedtime; and a fourth marriage to a wife who found him the dog), and the pivotal 1988 pediatric call that stayed with him through the rest of a 1986-2011 career until he found the little girl's memorial page in 2018, left a note as the paramedic who was there that day, and two weeks later heard from her mother, who sat down with him and released him from decades of guilt. His through-line: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and no first responder is 10 feet tall and bulletproof. Pick up Damaged on Amazon or email him at damagedthebook@outlook.com.Neil closed with the Dr. Robert E. Marx Show simulcast, on which oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Marx welcomed his former University of Miami chief of dentistry and dental implantology, Dr. Arun Garg, DMD, founder and president of Implant Seminars and the International Dental Implant Association out of Aventura, Florida, for a full consumer-facing walkthrough of dental implants in 2026. Dr. Garg traced the discipline's arc from a few thousand specialists two decades ago to more than 100,000 general dentists offering implants today, warned that the pendulum has swung to marketing-driven, promotion-heavy offices where the patient must ask sharper questions (how many cases like mine, what training on this load protocol, do you have a hygienist and a real maintenance recall, how long has your team been here), and walked Neil through the full price ladder (from a $1,000 upper or lower denture through a snap-in overdenture on two-to-four implants, up through the $17,000-30,000 per arch screw-in prosthesis, and finally to eight individual implants with three-tooth bridges at roughly 20-30 percent more, which most closely mimics natural teeth). He and Dr. Marx flagged screw fatigue on the tiny watch-size retention screws (take the whole prosthesis out every two years to clean and re-screw rather than waiting for a break),

This week on Framed, we're taking a little trip to hell. After a more personal start talking about grief, death and saying goodbye, we head straight into Dante's Inferno, Botticelli's illustrations of the Divine Comedy, and the increasingly unhinged circles of hell. A weirdly kismet planned episode, considering. Sit back and relax while we discuss eternal damnation. Weekly whimsy: honestly, not a very whimsical week but Joel does mention Hoppers if you need a cry, and there's also a side note that Hunt for the Wilderpeople is very good if you want funny, then not funny, then funny again.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

He's been considered one for years - but last month Sir Sam Neill was officially designated a Screen Legend. The honour marking his stellar fifty year career was handed out at the New Zealand Screen Awards and followed his Logie for 'Best Lead Actor' in the series The Twelve at the Australian TV awards in August. From Sleeping Dogs and Reilly, Ace of Spies.... to Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Tudors....his CV is a veritable chocolate box of roles from which fans can pick their favourites. When he's not filming, the Central Otago resident can be found on his Two Paddocks farm and vineyard surrounded by his celebrity-named animals. Most recently Sir Sam has been outspoken in his opposition to plans to fast-track a goldmine in the local Bendigo area. Kathryn speaks to him about his concerns about that project, his latest screen honours and what he can detail about his upcoming projects.

Kiwi actor Julian Dennison's built up an impressive acting resume between Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Deadpool 2, and How to Train Your Dragon, but he's about to make the switch to music next. Dennison is confirmed to be playing a DJ set at the upcoming Rhythm and Vines festival in Gisborne at the end of December. He says he needed another hobby to keep him going between acting gigs, and he felt inspired to explore the world of DJing after getting some advice from a friend. "He's like - man, why don't you pick up some DJing, it's a fun hobby, you get to listen to music, curate music, you can kind of do whatever you want with it. And that's kind of how it started."

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-nominated editor Tom Eagles, ACE, about editing the film Nuremberg.Tom was on Art of the Cut previously to talk about The Harder They Fall. Before that I spoke to Tom about his BAFTA and Oscar-nominated film - and WINNER of the 2020 ACE Eddie for Best Edited Feature film, JoJo Rabbit.Tom has also edited films like Hunt for the Wilderpeople and TV series like What We Do in the Shadows,  Ash versus the Evil Dead and Spartacus: Blood and Sand.This interview discusses choosing performances to hide story revelations, the importance of POV, and using less intercutting to actually break an un-desired connection between characters.You can read along with this interview and see exclusive photos and timeline screenshots on the BorisFX blog site:borisfx.com/blog/aotc

In episode two of our Manhunt series, we explore two international films. From South Korea, New World (2013), a topsy-turvy crime drama. From New Zealand, the playful and whimsical, Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016).Crime dramas have been a staple of cinema since its inception. We find comfort in categorizing characters as good or evil. It provides order in a convoluted world. Actual morality is often murky and challenging to decipher. New World offers a crystal clear reflection of how the world truly operates, rather than a saccharine imagined one. Deep Loyalty and petty betrayal are commonplace, and the lines between good and evil blur, like a spinning merry-go-round. Taika Waititi's distinctive style is evident throughout Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016). This is both a pleasure and a frustration. While the story of two unlikely companions going on the run in the Kiwi woods is delightful, the narrative often seems to lose its way despite the simplicity of the story. The plot path is clearly laid out, but Waititi can't resist taking detours down every zany spur, leaving little room for emotional resistance and refinement. Nevertheless, it remains an entertaining joy ride with a quaint conclusion.

I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about. Movies discussed include Moonrise Kingdom (2012), Welcome, or No Trespassing (1964), A Little Romance (1979), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016), and Riddle of Fire (2023).

Actor, comedian, and podcaster Rhys Darby returns to the show to talk about new episodes of The Cryptid Factor show, and all things monstrous and extraterrestrial — as well as the significance of his show Our Flag Means Death, which ended far too soon. You know Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords, the Jumanji reboots. the What We Do in the Shadows film, The X-Files revival, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and most recently as the gentleman pirate Stede Bonnet in Our Flag Means Death alongside his buddy Taika Waititi. But Rhys Darby is also a fan of high strangeness, and is one-third of the long-running podcast The Cryptid Factor with Dan Schreiber, and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck. Since 2008 they have passionately (and often awkwardly) been discussing 'cryptids' and monsters like Yeti, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and Nessie - as well as weird news of the world, UFO's, time travelers, robots and space stuff. Though they take these pseudosciences as seriously as they can, they struggle to take themselves seriously at all.

We watched What We do in the Shadows and were treated to the best horror comedy since Shaun of the Dead. @dgoebel00 on Instagram provided this amazing artwork. Follow him and check out his website. https://youtu.be/3uBc1Dk0hwI Synopsis You might not know it, but the life (or death) of a vampire is a lot less romantic and sometimes much more petty and small than you might think. Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are old vampires trying to make it in a new world. Making it the same way you or I are trying to make it, really. Just trying to make ends meet while accomplishing something akin to a nightlife. While they manage the chore wheel and keeping their familiars in check, they manage to get caught up in the wacky hijinks of other somewhat mundane horrors that roam the night. Everyone gets more laughs than they bargained for. Review What We do in the Shadows is a mockumentary by notable New Zealanders Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords)and Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople).  It's fun, tight, and hilarious. It's shot the way a normal documentary might be, but because the setting for much of the movie is in a vampire's lair it has a spooky ambiance.  Apart from some funny jumpscares, there is nothing scary about this horror adjacent romp. What We do in the Shadows is just for fun and it's great at it. So much of this had me rolling around the room, shaking my wife about how this is the best thing I've seen since Shaun of the Dead.  Watch What We do in the ShadowsBuy or Rent on AmazonClick Here to Watch Comedy isn't easy, and comedy horror can feel pretty clunky sometimes, but this is sleek and fun. It smacks deeply of the comedy from a show that I miss deeply, Flight of the Conchords. What We do in the Shadows pays close attention to making all the characters “real people” which takes away a lot of the sexy emphasis of normal vampires and replaces it with questions like, “How shitty of a roommate would a vampire be?” Overall, this is an easy watch that is best experienced with friends and family. The R rating is only earned with comically gratuitous blood and occasional curse words. Definitely rent this one if you haven't already. Score 8/10
