New DVD releasearquette, considers, david, himself, killed, nearly, wrestling

If you’re a fan of pro-wrestling, you’re probably familiar with the time actor David Arquette (Scream) was part of the 2000 WCW season. During the Slamboree pay-per-view event, he even became the world heavyweight champion. The entire scenario was created to promote his new film at the time, Ready to Rumble, which saw two diehard wrestling fans help their long time hero return to glory after he’s unceremoniously ousted from their beloved wrestling franchise. Much like his character of Gordie Boggs in that 20-year-old film, wrestling fans can be overly passionate, and Arquette’s claim to the championship belt was met…

David Tennant on There She Goes: ‘Parenting is Often Sentimentalised’

New DVD releasedavid, often, parenting, sentimentalised, tennant, there

When the first series of Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford’s autobiographically inspired comedy-drama aired, they were prepared for a mixed reaction. Their dramatisation of life raising a severely learning disabled child would likely shock, cause discomfort, and – in these furious days of gladiatorial online parenting forums – almost certainly provoke judgment and criticism. What they weren’t necessarily expecting were stories about poo.  “The most common reaction from parents or siblings with a child similar to Jo [Sarah and Simon’s learning disabled daughter on whom the character of Rosie, played by Miley Locke, is based] is they’ll come up and…

Is it a crime to fall in love with Frankenstein? Martin Scorsese has, and hard. Pre-punk hard. The director is best known for movies with killer soundtracks, but he’s also brought such classic musical films as The Last Waltz–he even got Michael Jackson down a subway platform in the music video for “Bad.” Not to mention the work he did early in his career following Elvis Presley. Scorsese will next tilt his camera at the legendary David Johansen in a Showtime documentary, according to Rolling Stone. “I’ve known David Johansen for decades, and his music has been a touchstone ever…

When director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man successfully swung to cinemas in 2002, moviegoers by and large were still oblivious to the extent—both financially and artistically—in which comic book movies would succeed, even after coming off the hit genre breakthrough that was 2000’s X-Men. Now, eighteen years and two Wall-Crawler iterations later, it has been revealed that the film in question was originally designed to kick off a more focused and pathologically potent story. David Koepp, who wrote the screenplay to 2002’s Spider-Man, reveals in an interview with Collider that his original plans had paced the film to start a Star Wars-esque…
