Max von Sydow’s character, as noted by /Film in its report, is a prime suspect for the spinoff’s protagonist, given the actor’s age; whoever he’s playing in Force Awakens would be a younger and more active man, around the time of A New Hope (i.e. when the Death Star’s plans were stolen). Alternatively, the Force Awakens rumored storyline indicates that Sydow could be playing an older “Jedi Hunter” – the rumored Force Awakens villains whose ranks, at one point, included Rebels antagonist The Inquisitor – so if his character does show up in Edwards’ spinoff, he may or may not be the protagon
Although most of the film is set on a remote tropical island, Cast Away begins in the heart of Texas, introducing an unknown woman sending a FedEx package. The choice makes sense when the camera follows a FedEx package from there all the way to Russia, where the film’s hero Chuck Noland is introduced. When Chuck finally makes it back to civilization, little of his old life remains, and he decides to start over from scratch – but first, he has to return a package that washed ashore on his desert island along with him. That brings him to the exact same intersection the movie opened on, where Chuck finally encounters the woman who he says saved his life. After considering which direction to head, Chuck turns to the woman’s disappearing truck with a smile, and the film’s final shot gives another look down the deserted road it opened on – plus Ch
Before anyone starts panicking about what movies might secretly be doing to their brains, here’s the twist: no one has ever been able to reproduce the original study’s effects, with the researcher later admitting he actually fabricated the entire study. So rest easy: there’s still no evidence subliminal advertising really works. Seen any subliminal messages in movies that we missed?

Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves’ found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
There have been countless examples of people finding sexual imagery hidden in the frames of Disney movies, and not every one of them is convincing. But one film that definitely has a sexy subliminal secret is 1977’s The Rescuers . The animated adventure about two mice on a quest to find a kidnapped girl has a not-so-innocent image inserted during a sequence where Bianca and Bernard are flying on the back of Orville the albatross. A topless woman was superimposed onto two of the windows flying past during the movie’s post-production. This discovery of the image in 1999 led to Disney issuing a recall of 3.4 million home release copies of The Rescuers – but thanks to the internet, it’s still easy to find out here now the c
… On the other hand, we’ve also long heard that Lawrence Kasdan – screenwriter of The Empire Strikes Back and co-writer on The Force Awakens – is the one penning the Boba Fett movie ; meaning, Edwards’ spinoff (as written by Whitta) could well revolve around the operation to steal the original Death Star’s plans, but it might not involve Jango Fett’s “son”/clone (or any bounty hunters for that matt
A good witch or wizard needs a trusty pet, and for Harry Potter, Hedwig the Owl went above and beyond the call of duty. The bird’s dedication to the boy wizard made her a hit with fans, and broke their hearts when she sacrificed her life to protect Harry in The Deathly Hallows . A righteous death for the boy she loved should have been expected. In the books, Hedwig takes her name from a medieval witch or wizard. But in the real world, Hedwig is the patron saint of orphaned and abandoned children – making her the perfect guardian for the movie’s h
The Force Awakens picks up 30 years after Return of the Jedi , meaning that some time has passed since we’ve seen old friends like Han and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) – but seemingly not enough time for their exploits to have become myths that people doubt ever happened . It reads as an oversight on Abrams’ part, but is there a reasonable explanation for how this happened? There just might
Keeping that in mind – do you like this proposed Star Wars spinoff movie storyline? Does it sound like a fitting compliment to the upcoming “Episodes”, which should play out as more traditional Star Wars film narrati
Gore Verbinski’s remake of this Japanese horror film takes the idea that watching movies affects us, and stretches it to a terrifying extreme. The meta concept is reinforced when single frames from the haunted videotape flash up during other scenes in the movie. Again, not all copies of the film feature the same frames. But fans can all catch a flash of The Ring at the very start of the movie, where it meshes with the crescent moon in the DreamWorks logo. These hidden frames are worth re-watching the movie all on their own – just don’t answer the phone when you’re finis
