Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman Remake Coming From Tim Burton And ... Gone Girl Author Gillian Flynn?
If you've been missing the acidic wit of "Gone Girl" and "Sharp Objects" author Gillian Flynn lately, don't worry: she's reportedly back in the screenwriting game, this time with a script that's set to become a Tim Burton movie, per Variety.
According to the outlet, Burton is set to direct a new version of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" penned by Flynn, with Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper producing and Kai Dolbashian on board as an EP. Mittman and Harper worked with Burton on Netflix's smash hit "Wednesday," and hopefully the unlikely director-screenwriter duo will bring new life to the story (which comes from the 1958 B-movie of the same name).
Apparently, it's unclear as of yet how much Burton and Flynn's "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman" will follow its predecessor, but it's worth noting that the Nathan Hertz-directed original featured a literal 50-foot woman who was...

Matthew McConaughey is barely in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. But back in 2013, you probably wouldn’t have guessed this after watching the trailer. Marketed around McConaughey beating his chest as if he were part-caveman and part-that guy who thinks he can appropriate a Native American chant, the actor’s rhythmic hum while pounding his pecks is strangely hypnotic. And as it turned out, it’s at the heart of the movie, even if McConaughey only appears in three scenes.
Entering and exiting the film inside of The Wolf of Wall Street’s opening 15 minutes, McConaughey’s Mark Hanna is positioned as a semi-mentor of all things Wall Street (at least as far as Scorsese sees it): corruption, avarice, lust, and, of course, cocaine. In a more heavy-handed movie, Hanna might be positioned as Lucifer, a dark angel who would buy the soul of Jordan Belfort...

Matthew McConaughey delivered one of his most praised performances as the melancholic and somber officer Rust Cohle in True Detective.
He’d also developed a bond with the show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto. It was a bond that might have only gotten stronger after the two spent the night out drinking.

McConaughey forged an open friendship with the True Detective series showrunner Nic Pizzolatto. To McConaughey, one of Pizzolatto’s most endearing traits was his honesty, which the showrunner seemed to value over manners.
“That’s one of the reasons I really like the guy,” McConaughey said in a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone. “It’s not about manners and grace. That’s part of where he and I get along, because we can be brutally honest, and we don’t think it’s brutal.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is full of eye-catching moments that capture the excess of the titular character's life. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the filmmaker treats the audience to the most ridiculous parts of this (mostly) true story without mincing any lavish detail. By every measure, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a larger-than-life cinematic spectacle elevated by inspired performances across the board. Every moment of the film sparkles with the energy put forth by its creatives. Nor, for that matter, did it take long for the ultimate tone of "The Wolf of Wall Street" to become apparent to Scorsese. In fact, one of the movie's most memorable scenes was just as impactful for the director during production.

Only once in a generation do we behold a classic such as this! The ’embiggened’ adventures of Nancy Archer lack technical sophistication, but good direction and a very direct story — female revenge writ large — grab us every time. Let the absurdities pile up, because Allison Hayes cuts a mean fifty-foot figure in that white two-piece, and saucy Yvette Vickers really warms up the clientele down at Tony’s place. It’s a terrific piece of late ’50s exploitation anti-art. The fantastic Reynold Brown poster is a key expression of the monsterrific worldview.

Ask people what they remember about Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street and they’ll usually tell you about moments from the biopic where the cast utterly committed to their parts, whether it’s Matthew McConaughey endlessly punching his chest over brunch as Mark Hanna, or Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort crawling along the floor after taking expired Quaaludes. Somehow on another plane of existence, however, is Jonah Hill’s version of Donnie Azoff aka former stockbroker Danny Porush. If it seemed at the time as though no one quite pushed the envelope in terms of swearing like DiCaprio and Hill in The Wolf of Wall Street, you weren’t imagining it.
A new study from BuzzBingo (uh) examined 3,500 movie scripts to find out which actor curses the most on the big screen, and Hill ended up taking the crown, boosted by his performance in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Actor Matthew McConaughey has started a weekly quarantine video series on Twitter entitled “McConaughey Takes” in which he reexamines a signature role in his filmography; this week, the Oscar winner’s attention turned to his memorable supporting turn in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.” McConaughey has one significant scene in the film where his character, Mark Hanna, has a lunch meeting with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort. The scene became one of the breakout moments in the film’s nearly three-hour running time, thanks in large part to McConaughey’s firecracker performance.
“They had this one line that was written, and I call it a launchpad line,” McConaughey said, “I had one in ‘Dazed and Confused’ and I had one in ‘Magic Mike.’ Sometimes you get a line in a script and the imagination just soars. If you can unpack that line, if this character means that,...

Matthew McConaughey is essentially a human soundboard.
The actor’s verbal habits and smooth, sibilant ‘s’s have produced many impersonations. However, without uttering a word, McConaughey’s voice is recognizable even through his grunts, laughs and guttural hums.
YouTube channel “Owenergy” has collected clips of the actor just “making noises,” and mashed them together into a video totaling more than 10 glorious minutes of the actor. From his low, gravelly hums to his wailing screams, McConaughey showcases his vocal range beyond his signature catchphrase “Alright, alright alright” — of which the YouTuber has also created a compilation.

Paul Henreid: From Eleanor Parker to ‘The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ (photo: Paul Henreid and Eleanor Parker in ‘Between Two Worlds’) Paul Henreid returns this evening, as Turner Classic Movies’ Star of the Month of July 2013. In Of Human Bondage (1946), he stars in the old Leslie Howard role: a clubfooted medical student who falls for a ruthless waitress (Eleanor Parker, in the old Bette Davis role). Next on TCM, Henreid and Eleanor Parker are reunited in Between Two Worlds (1944), in which passengers aboard an ocean liner wonder where they are and where the hell (or heaven or purgatory) they’re going. Hollywood Canteen (1944) is a near-plotless, all-star showcase for Warner Bros.’ talent, a World War II morale-boosting follow-up to that studio’s Thank Your Lucky Stars, released the previous year. Last of the Buccaneers (1950) and Pirates of Tripoli (1955) are B pirate movies. The former is an uninspired affair,...

After all the debates, controversies, and stereotype accusations have cleared, looking back on Blaxploitation cinema today it’s easy to see healthy portions of the crime and action genres. Using these genres and the struggles of the black community, these films were created for those that wanted to see African American characters on the big screen not taking shit from the man, “getting over”, and–above all else—being the heroes in movies. In the documentary Baad Asssss Cinema, Samuel L. Jackson gives his take on the heroes of Blaxploitation: “We were tired of seeing the righteous black man. And all of a sudden we had guys who were…us. Or guys who did the things we wanted those guys to do.”
The unsung supporting players in these films that backed Fred Williamson and Pam Grier and many other stars were people acting and making a living off of it.

Roger's 1956 trip to Hawaii resulted in two movies (naturally) and this one was so well plotted by Chuck Griffith and Mark Hanna that he remade it several times under different titles and in different locations. Look for later leads Dick Miller and Jonathan Haze in supporting henchmen roles. Then- girlfriend Beverly Garland stars in the fourth of five pictures for Roger.
