Twisted Metal: Who is Anthony Mackie’s John Doe?

New DVD release, , ,
Deadline is reporting that Marvel star Anthony Mackie will join PlayStation Productions’ live-action Twisted Metal series in the role of John Doe. While we still, unfortunately, don’t know much about the series at this time, all current reports indicate that the John Doe character is expected to be one of the show’s leads. So who is John Doe? That’s a great question that John Doe himself would also like to answer. Sony officially describes John Doe as “a smart-ass milkman who talks as fast as he drives.” They also note that the character has “no memory of his past” and…

How Star Trek: Discovery’s Anthony Rapp Found Dungeons & Dragons Again

New DVD release, , , , ,
During the pandemic, one thing has become clear: the need for play is great and can’t be denied. The nerds of yesteryear who played Dungeons & Dragons, grokked Spock, and looked for ways to express their geekiness, have found themselves in this time, reaching out and finding their people online to resort to playing a game they all knew well and loved “I guess it all started in junior high for me. In the early 80s, I was part of my ‘nerd crew,’” Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp, who plays science officer and chief engineer Paul Stamets in the…

Oscars 2021: Anthony Hopkins Win Shows Danger of Relying on Predictions

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It was supposed to end like a movie. That was certainly one of the buzzwords used by producers of 2021’s Oscars telecast in the run-up to tonight’s Academy Awards. Other terms included “cinematic” and “joyful.” The broadcast began like an Ocean’s 11 movie, with producer Steven Soderbergh’s camera following Regina King to the Oscar stage. Yet if this was a movie, it’s probable even Soderbergh didn’t expect the twist ending when Anthony Hopkins beat Chadwick Boseman for Best Actor. Yet that is how the final award of the night played out. Because despite nearly every Academy Awards since 1948 ending…

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Season 2 Is Unlikely, Anthony Mackie Confirms

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While Marvel fans (and the world at large) continue to be fixated on WandaVision, perhaps it’s time to concern ourselves with a post-Wanda world. The Disney+ series’ ninth and final episode will premiere this Friday and the show is, by all accounts, unlikely to receive a second season. Thankfully, the TV landscape won’t be without Marvel content for long. March 12 sees the arrival of the behind-the-scenes documentary Assembled: The Making of WandaVision. Then the following Friday, March 19, is the premiere of the second Disney+ Marvel series: The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. As those who can still remember…

Silence of the Lambs: Anthony Hopkins Reveals His Real World Inspiration for Hannibal Lecter

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s fair to say audiences were not quite ready for a character like Anthony Hopkins’ Dr. Hannibal Lecter in 1991. Obviously there had been killers and madmen in movies before; there was even another credible version of Hannibal Lecter a few years prior to that in Michael Mann’s Manhunter. But when Hopkins appears on screen in The Silence of the Lambs, he’s as still as a python lying in wait, yet also as cordial as a beloved college professor. Audiences instantly recoiled… and then leaned in. Hopkins was aware of the effect he and Jonathan Demme cultivated for the character,…

Anthony Mackie Pushes for More Diversity on Marvel Movies

New DVD release, , , , ,
Anthony Mackie will soon reprise his longtime big screen role as the co-star of Disney+ team-up series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, he thinks that the expanding and evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which the show exists, lacks diversity… behind the cameras, anyway. In an “Actors on Actors” Variety interview opposite Daveed Diggs, star of TNT series Snowpiercer, Mackie discusses the responsibilities of representation tasked with black actors when starring on platforms as prominent as theirs. Yet, in a musing that may be seen as critical of his Marvel Studios home, Mackie also believes that the company’s endeavor…
