Sam Raimi Thought He Was Done With Superhero Movie After Spider-Man 3

Director Sam Raimi is often credited with making some of the best comic book films ever in the form of Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, but following Spider-Man 3, Raimi was unsure he’d ever return to the world of comic book movies.

RELATED: Actor’s Website Reveals Possible Doctor Strange 2 Villain

Speaking to Collider in a recent interview, Raimi was asked why he would want to get back into the world of comics with the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially after Spider-Man 3 was widely panned by both critics and fans alike.

“I didn’t know that I could face it again because it was so awful, having been the director of Spider-Man 3,” Raimi said. “The Internet was getting revved up and people disliked that movie and they sure let me know about it. So, it was difficult to take back on. But then, I found out that there was an opening on Doctor Strange 2. My agent called me and said, ‘They’re looking for a director at Marvel for this movie and your name came up. Would you be interested?’ And I thought, ‘I wonder if I could still do it.’ They’re really demanding, those types of pictures.

“And I felt, ‘Well, that’s reason enough.’ I’ve always really liked the character of Doctor Strange. He was not my favorite, but he was right up there with the favorites. I loved the first movie, I thought [director] Scott Derrickson did a wonderful job, an incredible job. So, I said, ‘Yeah.’ They left the character in a great place. I didn’t think I would be doing another superhero movie. it just happened.”

While it remains to be seen if Raimi will succeed with the upcoming Doctor Strange film, the stories that have come out regarding the behind-the-scenes issues with Spider-Man 3 have been enough for most fans to ease up on blaming the director for the film. Now, he’ll have another chance to wow audiences with another comic book film entry.

Described as the first MCU horror film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sees the return of Cumberbatch as he reprises his role as Dr. Stephen Strange. This time the Sorcerer Supreme will be joined by Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlett Witch, portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen, who is coming off from the critical success of WandaVision. The sequel is expected to tie into the events from WandaVisionLoki and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently slated to debut on March 25, 2022, as part of Marvel Cinematic Universe’ Phase 4.

Ellen Pompeo Recalls Grey’s Anatomy Argument with Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington is one of the most iconic and legendary actors of our time, but even with all the pedigree that he carries, he isn’t immune to the occasional spat between other actors.

RELATED: Abigail Spencer & Kate Walsh to Reprise Roles in Grey’s Anatomy Season 18

Speaking during the debut episode of her new podcast Tell Me (via Vulture), actress Ellen Pompeo spoke about an incident that occurred a few years ago on the set of the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. According to Pompeo, she got into it with Denzel — who was on set as a guest director for an episode — during a scene.

“He made this choice to speak very softly,” she said of a particular scene partner. “And I was pissed that I had to sit there and listen to this apology, and he wasn’t looking at me in the eye. Again, we love actors who make choices, right? And I yelled at him, and I was like, ‘Look at me when you apologize. Look at me.’ And that wasn’t in the dialogue, and Denzel went HAM on my ass.”

Pompeo went on to note that Denzel told her that he was the director and that she shouldn’t be telling people what to do. According to the actress, that set her off and led to an argument between the two.

“And I was like, ‘Listen, motherf——, this is my show. This is my set. Who are you telling?’ Like, ‘You barely know where the bathroom is,’” Pompeo said. “And I have the utmost respect for him as an actor, as a director, as everything, but like, yo, we went at it one day.”

Pompeo ended the story by noting that at the end of the day, it was an amazing experience working with Denzel, and chalked the entire incident up to a case of actors being actors.

John Benjamin Hickey Joins Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot Adaptation

John Benjamin Hickey is set to join the cast of New Line’s upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, according to a recent report from Deadline.

RELATED: Salem’s Lot: Game of Thrones Vet Pilou Asbaek Joins Stephen King Pic

The recent Tony Award-nominated actor is set to portray Father Callahan in the film. In the novel that the film will be based on, Callahan joins the fight against vampires in the town after meeting with Ben Mears, the protagonist of the story.

Hickey joins a cast that already features the likes of Lewis Pullman, Alfred Woodard, Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Spencer Treat Clark, and Pilou Asbæk. In the 1975 horror novel, author Ben Mears returns to the town of Jerusalem’s Lot to write a book about a house that has haunted him since childhood only to find his isolated hometown infested with vampires. While the vampires claim more victims, Mears convinces a small group of believers to combat the undead.

Gary Dauberman is directing and writing the screenplay for producer James Wan (Conjuring universe, Saw franchise). This will be the latest King project Dauberman has adapted after writing the screenplays for 2017’s IT and 2019’s IT Chapter Two, both of which were directed by Andy Muschietti.

RELATED: Salem’s Lot: Gary Dauberman’s Stephen King Adaptation Sets Release Date

Salem’s Lot was previously adapted into a miniseries in 1979, directed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, with David Soul playing the role of Ben Mears. The movie was followed up by the 1987 film A Return to Salem’s Lot from Larry Cohen. In 2004, the story was adapted into another TV miniseries starring Rob Lowe as Ben Mears. This adaptation was written by Peter Filardi, who currently serves as a co-creator, co-writer, and executive producer for Epix’s Stephen King series Chapelwaite, based on King’s short story Jerusalem’s Lot.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Remasters Listed on South Korean Ratings Board

Rumors of a remastered version of three classic Grand Theft Auto titles have been floating around for some time, but a recent listing may have confirmed that the games are in the works.

RELATED: The Forgotten City Is a Clever GOTY Contender You Shouldn’t Miss

Recently, a listing for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was spotted on South Korea’s game rating board’s site (via Nibel on Twitter). The details of the listing reveal that the application for an official rating was made by Take-Two Interactive, with the game being rated “18 or unavailable” for youth in South Korea.

The listing comes just a month after a report from Kotaku stated that Rockstar was planning on rolling out remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. According to the report at the time, these remasters would apparently have a mix of “new and old graphics,” and would look like more heavily modded versions of the games.

Rumors have also been swirling about the unannounced Grand Theft Auto 6. And while those rumors point to that game being far away, remasters of older and beloved titles might be a decent stopgap for fans desperate for more of Rockstar’s open worlds.

The Guilty Interview: Jake Gyllenhaal & Antoine Fuqua Discuss Netflix Thriller

Acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua’s latest film The Guilty arrives on Netflix on October 1. The thriller is a remake of the 2018 Danish film of the same name and stars Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role.

“The film takes place over the course of a single morning in a 911 dispatch call center,” reads the official logline. “Call operator Joe Baylor (Gyllenhaal) tries to save a caller in grave danger—but he soon discovers that nothing is as it seems, and facing the truth is the only way out.”

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with The Guilty director Antoine Fuqua and star Jake Gyllenhaal, who also produced the film, about its unique story, how the film was shot, and the difficult acting challenge that excited Gyllenhaal.

Tyler Treese: Jake, Jake, I was so impressed by your performance and this seemed like such an interesting challenge for an actor to be in a film where your performance isn’t just so pivotal, but it’s largely you having these phone conversations while looking at a monitor. It’s almost like a play to an extent. How intriguing and difficult was this role for you?

Jake Gyllenhaal: I just love the whole idea that at a certain point, the movie required a deep imagination from the audience that challenges your perception of who was calling in, what they looked like, just because of how they sounded, were they, this person, that person, who were they? To me, it just challenged all the things we’re so used to seeing. We’re so used to seeing everything. We’re shown everything in movies at this point. The frame is packed with stuff and the more, the better. I just felt like the story was so strong that you could rely on it completely.

All I had to do is really sit there and listen. I just loved that idea. It was about listening, not just the audience listening, but the characters, too. I didn’t really have to do a whole lot. We just had to hire great actors to listen to, which we did and that’s what happened. But if I’m really honest about it, listening is a whole lot harder than I thought it was going to be for all hours of the day, but it was quite an interesting experience.

Antoine, what was the biggest challenge in making the film visually interesting throughout? Do you feel like the plot’s confines made you be more creative as a director?

Antoine Fuqua: Yeah. I’m always trying to be more creative as a director. It all comes from the material. It all starts with the material. And then of course the actor you have in front of you that inspires you to be more creative as well, you know? But yes, the environment was limited, which was part of the story. So as a director, you have to find ways to keep it interesting for the audience.

What I discovered about it was less was more when you have a great actor like Jake and other great actors on the phone because you don’t want to do anything to distract from the story and the performance. And part of what was fun about it was to constantly check myself to do less so that the audience can enjoy the story and the journey of the characters.

Jake, while this abduction is happening, your character’s own court case is looming. You’re clearly seen as struggling. What went into portraying this character that’s very stressed out and dealing with his own demons while trying to save a life?

Gyllenhaal: What I loved about the movie was that it was about not earthly redemption. It was about a sort of spiritual redemption in that way in the end. In the end, the truth is not gonna always be easy and may not provide comfort in the reality that we’re in, but it’s essential to making the systems work and healing the systems and I think that was what I loved about it. It’s hard for me to make a film where there’s not another undercurrent. I like a number of different layers and at the first layer of this movie is this crazy thriller. And then as it reveals itself, it ends up being about going back inward.

I just love it is like this big wave that comes at you and then it comes right back at you. That’s how I always felt about it, and it just felt so important to transpose even the original film into an American context, because I think a lot of the things that are undercurrents in this movie, we’re dealing with as a culture as well and it’s so important to kind of start to begin to speak about in an artistic way.

The Last Duel Clip Features Matt Damon and Jodie Comer

20th Century Studios has released the first clip from acclaimed filmmaker Ridley Scott’s upcoming medieval epic drama The Last Duel, which is currently slated to arrive in theaters on Friday, October 15.

The Last Duel clip, which you can check out in the player below, features Matt Damon’s Jean and Jodie Comer’s Marguerite as they argue about the dire consequences of Jean’s potential defeat. Marguerite makes him realize that she will also face death and their child will become an orphan if he loses the duel.

RELATED: House of Gucci Trailer Teases A Legacy Worth Killing For

Based on Eric Jager’s novel of the same name, the film brings the turbulent Middle Ages to life. When etiquette, social aspirations, and justice were driven by the codes of chivalry, the consequences for defying the institutions of the time – the Church, the nobility at court, a teenage king – could be severe. For a woman navigating these violent times, one who had no legal standing without the support of her husband, the stakes were even higher.

The Last Duel is being led by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) as Marguerite de Carrouges, and Oscar nominee Adam Driver (Marriage Story) as Jacques Le Gris, along with Oscar-winning duo Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) as Jean de Carrouges, and Ben Affleck (Argo) as Count Pierre d’Alençon. It also features Harriet Walter, Nathaniel Parker, Sam Hazeldine, and Michael McElhatton.

“The historical epic is a cinematic and thought-provoking drama set in the midst of the Hundred Years War that explores the ubiquitous power of men, the frailty of justice and the strength and courage of one woman willing to stand alone in the service of truth,” reads the official synopsis. “Based on actual events, the film unravels long-held assumptions about France’s last sanctioned duel between Jean de Carrouges and Jacques Le Gris, two friends turned bitter rivals. Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Le Gris is a Norman squire whose intelligence and eloquence make him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Carrouges’ wife, Marguerite, is viciously assaulted by Le Gris, a charge he denies, she refuses to stay silent, stepping forward to accuse her attacker, an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat, a grueling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God’s hands.”

The Last Duel is directed and produced by visionary filmmaker and four-time Oscar nominee Ridley Scott (Gladiator) from a screenplay adapted by Affleck, Damon, and Oscar nominee Nicole Holofcener (Can You Ever Forgive Me?). Producers are Affleck, Damon, Holofcener, Kevin J. Walsh, Jennifer Fox, with Kevin Halloran, Drew Vinton, Madison Ainley serving as executive producers.

WB’s The Bodyguard Remake to Feature a Young Latina Protagonist

In a recent interview with Variety, Tony winner Matthew López (The Inheritance) opened up about Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming The Bodyguard remake of the 1992 romantic drama thriller, revealing some new details about its’ potential story. The scribe went on to confirm that unlike the original film which centered around an established singer, the upcoming project will instead be led by a young Latina protagonist who is trying to deal with her newfound fame.

“When Warner Bros. approached me about the idea, I quickly said I would but I wanted the protagonist to be Latina,” López said. “They agreed to that.”

He also talked about the remake’s more timely and modern story, while also expressing how it was important for him to be able to give more Latin representation on screen.

“Instead of focusing on an established star like the one Whitney Houston played, this is about a young Latina performer who has just become famous,” López revealed. “It’s about how her life has changed because she is an overnight sensation. In the 21st century, that means she’s in immediate need of protection. It was important to me to use this opportunity to get Latin faces up on that screen and to get their stories told in a big way.”

RELATED: I Wanna Dance With Somebody: Kasi Lemmons to Helm Whitney Houston Biopic

Described as a reimagining, The Bodyguard remake will be written by Matthew López (The Inheritance). It will once again be produced by the original film’s producer and writer Lawrence Kasdan for Kasdan Pictures, along with Dan Lin & Jonathan Eirich for Rideback. It will be executive produced by Rideback’s Nick Reynolds.

Further details about the plot and characters are still being kept under wraps, but the project has been in the making for over a decade now, with Lin attached to the project since 2011. It remains to be seen if the remake would also cast a prominent singer or not, just like the first film with award-wining singer Whitney Houston.

1992’s The Bodyguard was directed by Mick Jackson, from a screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan. The film starred Houston and Kevin Costner, where it followed the story of a former Secret Service agent who gets hired to protect a famous personality from a stalker. Interestingly, Kasdan originally wrote the film in the 1970s as a Steve McQueen and Diana Ross-led project.

The film was best known for its original soundtrack which includes the songs “I Will Always Love You,” “I Have Nothing,” and “Run to You,” which were all performed by Houston. The latter two earned the film an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

Steven Soderbergh’s heist comedy trilogy had earned a combined gross of over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Interview: William Ludwig on Playing Young Tony Soprano in The Many Saints of Newark

October 1 will see the release of The Many Saints of Newark in theaters and on HBO Max. A prequel to the legendary television series The Sopranos, the film stars Michael Gandolfini in the lead role as Tony Soprano. However, the film also sees William Ludwig (check out his Instagram) as a younger version of Tony. ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese had a chance to speak with Ludwig about The Many Saints of Newark, how casting went, and the pressure of playing young Tony Soprano.

Tyler Treese: The Many Saints of Newark is such an exciting film. How did this role come together and what was the audition process like for you?

William Ludwig: That’s a great question. I had been auditioning for two years and then this audition came around and it was really interesting because it wasn’t like any audition I’d been on before, because I walked in and they normally have you stand up like behind this big blue wall. But this casting director, Deborah Dion, who’s so nice and amazing, sat me down in this chair. And I sat back and then we started reading the lines and I think she started to feel a connection with me and we started talking more. She gave me a little bit of direction and told me to be a little bit more dramatic, a little bit more excited. And then we moved on to my favorite scene, which is the F-word scene where I say a bunch of F-words.

And we started talking more so she could give me a little bit more direction and it was like a 15-minute audition, which never happens. They’re usually at most like three minutes long. And after the audition, she came out and she talked to my mom and that was another thing that never happens. And it was really cool and it was looking up. And then, two weeks later I was like, “I probably didn’t get it.” And I was sitting down doing my math homework, and my mom comes in with her phone recording and an envelope and she hands it to me. And it reads with the Sopranos big title on the front, “Congratulations. You booked the role of young Tony in The Many Saints of Newark Sopranos prequel movie. We’re so F’n excited for you.”

For somebody my age, The Sopranos has such reverence and you’re obviously much younger. So before this role came around, how much did you really know about The Sopranos? I don’t imagine you were allowed to watch it. Were you?

Yeah, it ended the year I was born, which is crazy to think about.

When we got the audition, it was “Untitled New Jersey Project” and it said “Michael Gandolfini lookalike.” And so we did a little bit of researching and we figured out that it was the Sopranos prequel movie. And so my parents got excited, obviously. My parents got excited and I was like, “What’s this Sopranos?” They like, “It’s this awesome, legendary show about Italian mobsters and family.” And my dad sat down with me and we watched a few episodes of the show, obviously skipping past a lot of big parts and covering my eyes. I had to learn his mannerisms like how he hunches his back like this and sort of get a feel for the accent and his rolled lips and stuff. After I booked the role, we watched the whole first season together, my mom, my dad and I, and then we watched a few extra episodes throughout the series and I got a really good feel for how Tony is as an adult. And so the challenge was then to figure out how to portray him as this kid.

James Gandolfini’s role as Tony Soprano was legendary. So after your parents explained to you and you saw the show, was there a lot of pressure because you’re playing such an iconic character?

Stepping into the shoes of Tony Soprano was honestly pretty terrifying at first, but pretty much the instant I booked the role, Michael Gandolfini, who plays teenage Tony, reached out to me. And he really helped me feel a lot better about stepping into these big shoes, because he explained to me what Tony means to people and how we can portray Tony and do a really good job.

I did want to ask you about Michael because I saw that you thanked him for embracing you as his younger self. What did it mean for you to have that contact with Michael Gandolfini and for him to take you under his wing and fully support you?

From the beginning, he always referred to Tony as “our character,” which was really generous because I know this means a lot to him and his family. And personally, all I wanted to do was make Michael proud of me and make him feel happy with what we did together.

I saw some of the set photos of you throwing a football around and I was like, “Wow. This is what I’d imagine Tony Soprano to look like.” It blew me away. You were playing football with Jon Bernthal. He’s such an incredible actor. How was it like working with him?

Jon Bernthal is just so nice. He’s such a big guy, so he’s a little bit intimidating, but once you get to know him, you realize he’s got this nice side. He’s such a great actor and he gets into his character so much when we’re filming. But then right after they cut, he goes back to being like, “Hey, how’s it going? It’s good to see you.” And he’ll give you a little side hug and rough you up a little bit. And he’s such a classic guy. It was really amazing working with Jon Bernthal.

There are so many great actors involved in this film and like Ray Liotta. You got some great career advice from him. How was it like with him?

I did. I got some amazing advice from Ray Liotta. I don’t have very many scenes with him, but one day he was talking with me and he gave me this really valuable piece of advice. And he said to not take yourself too seriously, because all we’re doing is we’re putting some gel in our hair or dressing up and we’re playing pretend, and that’s all we’re doing. It’s just an awesome job. And we should be grateful for what we’re doing. And we’re not special because we can talk in an accent. We’re just having fun. That’s our job.

You brought it up, so about the accent. How difficult was it? How was it like working with a coach for getting that accent down?

Kohli Calhoun was the dialect coach for this movie and she’s just so awesome and nice and amazing. She really taught me like how Tony’s face looks when he talks, like how his lips are in a circle and how he kind of scrunches his face up like this. She taught me how to say the F-word right in an Italian accent. She would have me go around the house and point to certain things and be like, “F’n computer! F’n phone! F’n table! F’n dog!” And my parents weren’t exactly thrilled about that. They would be like, “Really? Do you have to say it so much?” I was like, “Hey, I’m just doing my work, guys. I’m sorry.”

Did that get you in trouble? Were you just like, “I’m just doing my F’n work!”

Exactly! That’s what I always said. And my little brother was also very excited. My little brother, Jack Jack. He would always want to run lines with me. He’d be like, “Hey, can I run lines with William, please?” And they were like, “Yeah, OK.” And he would be like, “Can we do the F-word scene, please, please, please?” I would like, “Yeah, let’s do it!” And our parents wouldn’t like it.

Amazing. This sounds like such a fun experience to film. I read you play a lot of video games and I’m a huge gamer. What do you usually play?

I was really into playing Red Dead Redemption 2 a lot. I was playing that a lot during the quarantine. I have like $4,000 now and I’m really proud of that. I grinded. But I just recently started playing ARMA 3 with my friend and we’re really getting into that game now. We’re making our own game modes and like doing prefabs and stuff, and it’s really fun.

This is such a huge feature film to be in, especially for your first feature. You’ve done TV work before. Did the process of shooting a film surprise you any? Or was it mostly similar?

What surprised me the most was seeing how much work goes into just one shot. Like there’s costume, hair and makeup, a director has to figure out what the shot is going to be like, the director of photography. There are the PAs who are probably some of the most helpful people on site. They help a lot. But just to get to saying “Action!” takes so much work. It was really interesting to see that whole process

Your dog tried to make a cameo earlier, so I have to ask. Tell me a bit about your dog.

He’s a really fat, chunky yellow lab. He’s got a lot of extra skin and so you could literally pull up his skin and he looks like a stegosaurus. His ears are so big. We’ll call him “Dumbo” sometimes because he’s really stupid. His name is Bo and he has really big ears.

Without going into spoilers, obviously, did any scenes really stand out for you about the film? Anything that was a lot of fun to film?

I did really like filming the F-word scene a lot. That scene was actually in front of Holstein’s, which I think will resonate with a lot of Sopranos fans. And another really interesting scene is the scene between Alessandro Nivola who plays Dickie Moltisanti. In Tony’s bedroom, there’s a really intense heart-to-heart scene. And it really shows the relationship between Dickie and Tony and how they’re connected and how Dickie has so much influence on Tony.

David Chase is a legendary director. How was it like receiving direction from him and working with him?

Working with Mr. Chase was just so rewarding because he’s tough guy to impress. I’ll be honest. There was this one day where we didn’t have very much ad-libbing available because he picked out all these words so specifically and placed them in the script. But this one day he came up to me, it was the F-word scene, and he goes, “Hey, William, instead of saying ‘high school,’ how would you say ‘F’n high school?’ You know?” And I went like, “Yeah. OK. That’s great.” So I had an extra F-word to say. I was very proud of myself.

I’m so excited for this film, but I think most of all, you’ve built it up so much, I’m excited to hear you say the F-word in the film.

I am excited for people to see the movie and to hear the F-word.
