Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir reveals epic Star Wars pitch

Andy Weir thinks Star Wars can be saved by creating other stories from the original trilogy.The 54-year-old author, whose novels The Martian and Project Hail Mary have been turned into sci-fi blockbusters, has pointed out an issue with the constant reinvention of the iconic saga.He told Slash Film: "Star Wars is more about massive upheaval."One problem that happens is, if you're going to have a story about a monumental war, then when it's over and the good guys win, you want it to stay that way."So it's very unsatisfying if you roll into a new monumental war."Fans had similar concerns with J.J. Abrams' 2015 film The Force Awakens,

Sylvester Stallone On Casting Daughter In ‘Tulsa King’: “Of Course It’s Nepotism, You Idiot”

An interview with Sylvester Stallone from October 16 is going viral thanks to some candid comments the Tulsa King actor made about the casting of his daughter Scarlet Rose Stallone. Stallone has a blunt message to naysayers: “Of course it’s nepotism, you idiot.” The subject came up as Stallone was reflecting on comments he’s heard about the casting. “First they go, ‘Nepotism is terrible,’” he told USA Today. “I said, ‘Oh please, you’re not a good parent if you haven’t performed a little nepotism. Then obviously you don’t care about your kids, because they come first.’” Stallone added, “‘Of course it’s nepotism, you idiot. That’s why we’re parents. We want the best for our children. So obviously, we let them have every advantage.’” The “nepo baby” charge has increased in visibility in recent years, as the offspring of Hollywood celebrities grow in prominence.

44 Years Later, Steven Spielberg's Scariest Movie of All Time Is Officially Back on Streaming

Sometimes, the people who make movies don’t always get the credit they deserve. Carrie Fisher served as an uncredited script doctor on the 1998 Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer, and Quentin Tarantino did an uncredited rewrite of the Saturday Night Live sketch-turned-movie It’s Pat. This is more common with writers than directors, but it can happen to directors, too. For example, Richard Donner, who helmed the 1979 masterpiece Superman, shot a good deal of the sequel Superman II, but was fired partway through the movie. Richard Lester, who replaced him, received full credit. And while all the details about it still aren’t really known, there’s a certain 1982 horror

Conan O’Brien did little to manage expectations as he kicked off Sunday evening’s “30 Rock” reunion, a one-night-only benefit at Radio City Music Hall to celebrate the beloved sitcom’s 20th anniversary. “Welcome to the greatest night in the history of entertainment!” he said from the stage to raucous applause. “I’m Conan O’Brien, and I’m known to exaggerate.” His comments didn’t seem hyperbolic to the 5,000 rowdy fans in the audience, who spent a pretty penny and braved a rainstorm for a chance to witness the live, never-to-be-televised event. Cheers from the crowd were near-deafening as O’Brien introduced the cast — Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski — and they kept up the enthusiasm for surprise guests like Jon Hamm, Tom Hanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Will Forte and Brian Williams. “What you will see tonight is, in “30 Rock” fashion, an overly ambitious grab bag of nonsense,
