The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again – including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates’ mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins’ face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another – leaving them to wonder if they’d ever really seen it at al

Between superhero movies, the upcoming revival of the Star Wars franchise and the preponderance of YA science fiction novel adaptations like Divergent and The Maze Runner headed to theaters over the next few years, the sci-fi genre is going to be pretty well served in the immediate future. Not to be left out, the rebooted Star Trek universe is also returning in 2016 with Star Trek 3 , which will be directed by Justin Lin ( Fast & Furious
Although many of the references in Disney movies are to characters from their animated classics collection or Pixar films, occasionally the animation studio will add in a nod to other characters under the Disney banner. In the scene in The Little Mermaid when King Triton makes his entrance in Atlantis to a room full of guests, many have spotted Goofy and Donald Duck sitting in the crowd. But, a second before they become visible, Kermit the Frog is shown seated farther back in the audience, recognizable by his green collar. We can only wonder why the Mickey Mouse and Muppets characters chose not to sit toget
That’s what’s getting lost in the shuffle. Abrams is showing a single character asking Han about all the rumors she has heard. And given the backgrounds of the new characters, having Rey be the one unsure of it all makes the most sense. Much like Luke at the start of the original film, she’s not a player in a widespread war. How she gets drawn into it remains to be seen, but the footage clearly indicates she comes from humble beginnings. Abrams isn’t making it as if none of the fresh faces are aware about what happened three decades ago, just one. And both in-universe and for the movie itself, it’s an extremely logical decision that should benefit The Force Awakens as a wh
The previous two movies in the rebooted Star Trek franchise were filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, so the change of locale is most likely due to the hefty tax incentives offered in British Columbia (which have made Vancouver a popular destination for both film and TV productions). It makes sense that Paramount would try to rein in the budget of Star Trek 3 where possible; anything that cuts down the costs of such an effects-heavy movie is no doubt an attractive prosp
As shocking as this may be to read: not everyone who will see The Force Awakens is overtly familiar with the Star Wars mythos. Whether they’re adults who never caught on, or children whose first real exposure to the franchise will be Episode VII , they’ll need someone in the movie to act as their guide and ask the questions they’re wondering about. Abrams would be unwise to just assume that everyone watching knows the story up to this point. This is very similar to how Luke was portrayed in the original film, as he – like everyone watching – had no idea what The Force was or how expansive the galactic war really was. He was that fish out of water character that was a conduit for the audience and allowed them to understand what was happening throughout the f
Film Divider ‘s sources also indicate that the new villain will be a male character and that the studio is looking for a Bryan Cranston-esque actor to play him. In fact, Cranston himself has apparently ” had words ” about taking the role, but what those words were and which direction they took remains a mystery for now. If Cranston does get the role then hopefully he’ll get a bit more screen time than he was given in Godzil
Understandably, some viewers were confused when the new Force Awakens characters asked Han about the old Galactic Civil War and the existence of the Force. But in a way, that’s because these elements have become so ingrained in our popular culture that it’s almost inconceivable to come across someone who has never heard the term “Jedi Knight” or knows who Darth Vader is. In the Star Wars universe, knowledge of such things really isn’t all that commonplace. It’s easy to see how this could all be new, especially to someone living alone in the des
Now, while all this should be taken with a grain of salt… it doesn’t sound too far-fetched. Lucas film’s VP of Development has indicated that the Star Wars spinoffs will encompass multiple genres , and a Star Wars heist movie would do just that. It’s also been rumored that Edwards’ film is a Boba Fett movie Facts|https://movietriviafocus.com/ ; the Fett character could well be part of a Suicide Squad -style team of bounty hunters responsible for stealing the Death Star plans, seeing as his origins have already been explored onscreen (in Episode I
