Indiana Jones 5

Antonio Banderas revealed to Collider his function in Indiana Jones 5 is “almost a cameo.”

My character may be very little; it’s nearly a cameo. He’s only a good friend of Indiana’s character, and he’s searching for him as a result of he wants one thing from his good friend. But he simply takes up little or no time of the film, however very completely happy to be a part of a saga that’s of the historical past of movement footage, clearly.

Violent Night

Speaking with /Film, director Tommy Wirkola promised every henchman in Violent Night receives their very own “moment to shine.”

I really feel like motion motion pictures within the ‘80s and ‘90s, every character had a great moment or a moment to shine and a great line, or a henchman had a great — nowadays, I feel a lot of the movies have about three or four main characters and that’s it. The relaxation are simply thrown away, in a approach. I at all times love motion pictures the place you will have tiny arcs for aspect characters or a fantastic second for the henchmen or a fantastic scene. So we actually truly put plenty of thought in that and attempt to make it really feel like these motion pictures that all of us beloved rising up.

The Willow novels had their followers, but when they’ve a loyal viewers that may solely get pleasure from the brand new sequence if it faithfully follows their storyline, I haven’t come throughout them but.

Star Trek: Picard

I really like the outdated Next Gen font. I’ve missed titles on episodes and seeing them and going, ‘hmm, I wonder what that means…?’ And the music was terribly essential to me. If we have been going to say that is the final Star Trek: The Next Generation movie, or 10 of the final Star Trek: The Next Generation motion pictures—as a result of all of the episodes are very totally different—then it wanted to sound like that, too. And that required [composer] Stephen Barton. Then, later within the season, the rating will get so large because the story grows that we had to herald some assist from Frederik Wiedmann, who’s an excellent composer as properly. I grew up with legends [like] Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner. Not to say Dennis McCarthy and Cliff Eidelman. All these Trek composers have nods.
