Link Tank: How a Movie Theater’s Mistake Changed Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner

New DVD releaseblade, changed, mistake, movie, ridley, scott, theater

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982) would’ve gone down in history as a mediocre cult classic had one movie theater not made the best mistake in 1992. “Upon its initial theatrical release in 1982, director Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner met with only middling success. The movie—the story of Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who is dispatched to eliminate androids dubbed replicants that have gone rogue in the year 2019—was reportedly caught between the wishes of Scott and executives at Warner Bros., who wanted less of the filmmaker’s ambiguous narrative and more clear exposition.” Read more at Mental Floss.

Andrew Scott Reveals His Dark Materials’ Chilling Behind-the-Scenes Secret: Show Tunes

New DVD releaseandrew, behind, chilling, materials, reveals, scenes, scott

His Dark Materials is the Dune of the TV world, which is to say: extremely selfish with its cast. As if His Dark Materials didn’t already have more than its fair share of charismatic talent in Season 1, they’ve gone ahead and added Andrew Scott to Season 2 of the epic fantasy series as Colonel John Parry. (Scott’s Fleabag boss and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be voicing his character’s daemon, which, again: let other shows have some talent, would you?) I jest, of course. It’s been one of 2020’s few joys to see the second season of this show come…

New DVD releasebudget, derrickson, horror, scott, story

Director Scott Derrickson will adapt a Joe Hill short story called “The Black Phone” into a feature film for Blumhouse, according to Deadline. Derrickson is penning the screenplay with his regular writing partner, C. Robert Cargill, with whom he also wrote Sinister and Doctor Strange. The story was initially published in Hill’s first book, a 2005 short story collection called 20th Century Ghosts that put the young author on the horror map before it was widely known that he was the son of Stephen King. The tale follows the plight of John Finney, a young boy kidnapped and held prisoner…

Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix Reteam for Napoleon Movie ‘Kitbag’

New DVD releasejoaquin, movie, napoleon, phoenix, reteam, ridley, scott

Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix appear determined to meet their Waterloo… or at least film it with the pair mounting a new historical war epic about French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The news was broken by Deadline, which filed the story on the last day of filming of production for Scott’s current historical epic, The Last Duel. The name of Scott’s Napoleon movie is Kitbag, apparently taken from the saying, “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.” And the movie is coming together quickly for Scott, who’s already working with screenwriter David Scarpa, the writer of Scott’s previous…

Raised by Wolves: Ridley Scott and Aaron Guzikowski Talk Parenting on a New Planet

New DVD releaseaaron, guzikowski, parenting, raised, ridley, scott, wolves

HBO Max’s new science fiction series Raised by Wolves is the kind of genre collaboration where it’s fascinating to trace its disparate elements back to their various sources. Showrunner Aaron Guzikowski broke into Hollywood with the 2013 film Prisoners, about the lengths to which a father will go to rescue his kidnapped daughter—themes that are just as relatable whether it’s a pair of androids or space Crusaders on that same parental journey. Then there’s Sir Ridley Scott, who describes his process as “shifting from visual image to visual image in my head.” The iconic director brought everything from childhood remembrances…

Scott Cooper and Guillermo del Toro Want to Make Edgar Allan Poe Movie

New DVD releaseallan, cooper, edgar, guillermo, movie, scott

The current pandemic has brought many industries to a standstill, moviemaking included. Scott Cooper might tell you as much considering he has several projects on the backburner—two nondescript movies with Christian Bale and another with Elisabeth Moss—yet he isn’t sure which will get made next in the current climate. Even his last movie, horror-thriller Antlers, was supposed to be released already. Yet it was while talking about that latest one, alongside producer Guillermo del Toro, during a virtual Comic-Con@Home panel that Cooper revealed his dream project: a movie about young Edgar Allan Poe’s time at West Point. To be clear,…

San Diego Comic Con may not be the same this year, as the pop culture event is being held completely online, but that doesn’t mean it can’t pull out some exciting and unexpected surprises. One such reveal came during today’s His Dark Materials panel. The HBO/BBC series based on Philip Pullman’s iconic children’s fantasy series will be returning for an already-filmed second season and the cast and creators were on hand to promote the upcoming release (which has yet to get an official date). Amongst them was Andrew Scott, who will be playing John Parry in the series based on…

Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor Get Payback in Exclusive Clip

New DVD releaseadkins, exclusive, louis, mandylor, payback, scott

We imagine it’s never thrilling to be recognized for your past work. Yet when you have action movie talents like Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor on hand, it makes absolute sense a certain type of fan will crop up—and likely need a likely beat down in some circumstances! That’s at least one humorous takeaway from a new exclusive clip of Payback: Debt Collectors 2, an action-thriller starring Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor. In the film, Adkins and Mandylor star as a pair of debt collecting heavies who are muscle for a particular type of bad men—all while avoiding another group…

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director Edgar Wright hopes we may see the Sex Bob-Omb bassist back in action sooner rather than later, if plans for a new anime project take off. In an interview with EW celebrating the film’s 10th anniversary, Wright confirms that he, Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, and the film’s producer, Jared LeBoff, have been mulling the possibility of making a Scott Pilgrim anime for some time. “There’s some plans — and there’s nothing official yet — but there are some plans to revisit the material in an animation way. We’ve been talking with Bryan…

Gladiator 2 Still a Priority for Ridley Scott

While speaking with Douglas Wick about Gladiator during its 20th anniversary, the producer said the first answer to any question should be having Ridley Scott in the meeting. Apparently that holds true for the long-gestating Gladiator 2 as well, which Wick confirmed is still very much alive. “Yes, we’re working on it, and we’ve just all vowed that we’ll only proceed if we get something great on paper,” Wick tells me about the possible sequel. “We’re too respectful of the first movie to ever do anything cynical.” The idea of a Gladiator 2 has been floating around since almost the…

Labyrinth Sequel in the Works, Doctor Strange’s Scott Derrickson to Direct

Jim Henson’s 1986 classic fantasy film, Labyrinth, has achieved something that its initial box office performance would never in a million years justify: a sequel. TriStar Pictures is set to take moviegoers back to the world of fairies, goblins and baby-napping glam-rockers who put on random musical numbers within the confines of enormously ominous oubliettes, with a sequel to Labyrinth now officially in the works, according to Deadline. Additionally, the studio has already found a creative team to tackle the project, tapping a director who’s put in work exploring appropriately labyrinthine fantastical worlds in Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson. He’ll…
