The Machine, A Stand up comedy Routine so funny it became a movie.

The Machine, A Stand up comedy Routine so funny it became a movie.

, , , , , , , , , 4

  Hollywood’s is currently having a reputation for running out of unique ideas. “The Machine.” is a proof there are still fresh ideas out there. This adaptation, unlike many others that are based on books, comic books, or old TV episodes. The Machine originated from a stand-up comedy routine by Bert Kreischer. It’s notable that A Twilight fan fiction and a tweet feed inspired movies. Anything can be a source material if discovered by the right people. Thanks to the power of word of mouth, Kreischer’s skit went viral and caught the attention of Legendary Entertainment.  Yes that company famous for producing epic Kaiju movies. They acquired the film rights to the routine, and the result promises to be something truly unique. One thing that sets “The Machine” apart is that Kreischer will be playing himself , adding a meta twist to the story. It’s not the first time an actor has played themselves on screen, of course – John Malkovich and Nicolas Cage have both done it before. But

New Child’s Play Trailer Reveals Chucky’s Face

New Child’s Play Trailer Reveals Chucky’s Face

, , , , , 0

We have a visual on the plastic menace set to terrorize the neighborhood this summer. MGM’s latest trailer for the Child’s Play remake was released today, and for the first time in the entire campaign, the “new” Chucky has been revealed. The problem with having a chubby plastic doll as your serial killer is that you can never take him completely seriously. This trailer certainly attempts to create tension with its death traps punctuated by jump cuts, but when those things are mixed in with a little toy hand reaching for a knife, the frights are somewhat dissipated. The promos have suggested MGM’s Chucky is different from the traditional version (who is still alive and coming to SyFy soon). This one appears to be some kind of corrupt computer AI instead of the spirit of Charles Lee Ray. This means ol’ Chuck can have more than one body, and that he can take control of any electronic device around him. In a present where just about everything is “smart,” this

There’s a point in Futurama where Zapp Brannigan is condemned to death by Snu-Snu, and the news causes his face to contort into a wildly fluctuating expression of both happy and horrified at once. We had a similar reaction this weekend when Mark Hamill was confirmed as the voice of Chucky in the upcoming Child’s Play remake. “People let me tell you ’bout my best friend…”?The wicked fun begins when @ChildsPlayMovie is unleashed in theaters: Friday, June 21st 2019. #SoLuckyImChucky ? @MGM_Studios @OrionPictures pic.twitter.com/ExOYuwj9sP — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) March 31, 2019 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Anyone familiar with Hamill’s voice work over the past 30 years knows he’s one of the best in the field. His Joker may never truly be topped. He’s a master at sending you into fits of laughter one second, then giving you chills in the next. If Chucky had to be someone new, this is EXACT perfect casting. That doll is going to sound amazing. But….does it have to happen while Brad Dourif is still alive? As we’ve

Early Experimental Star Wars Posters Revealed

Early Experimental Star Wars Posters Revealed

On the occasion of the release of Solo, Mark Hamill sent out a tweet this afternoon revealing four early Star Wars posters, cooked up by the marketing team back when they were still trying to figure out how to sell Lucas’s now-iconic creation to an audience that had never seen it before. Coming up with the perfect tagline is hard — just look at how many would-be catchphrases the Alien team had to go through before they finally found “In space no one can hear you scream.” Hamill mentions in the tweet that he had trouble describing Star Wars to his friends before the movie came out. This prototype poster errs on the side of familiarity: “Did kids know who Flash & Buck were in ’77?” asks Mark. Probably not, and a big factor in the success of the first movie was that it took old serial tropes and made them fresh again to a new generation. If Fox had gone with directly revealing the inspiration, people might not have

You’ve all seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi by now, correct? If not, then duck out of here to avoid the spoilers. Only people who’ve seen the movie are left now? Good. As we all know, Luke Skywalker passed on Jedi-style at the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Cause of death was implied to be strain from a super-extensive Force-powered hologram projection of himself. Or he just felt like kicking off. During a new interview with IGN, Mark Hamill revealed George Lucas also had plans to show the end of Luke Skywalker — though they would come much later. According to Hamill: “I happen to know that George didn’t kill Luke until the end of [Episode] 9, after he trained Leia. Which is another thread that was never played upon [in The Last Jedi].”‘ It’s unknown which version of Episode 9 Mark is talking about. Lucas originally wrote an outline for a sequel trilogy while the original trilogy was being filmed — but decided to abandon those ideas

You might think that every celebrity possible has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but you would be wrong. True 2,629 stars have their names immortalized in history, but there are many who aren’t on it yet. One of the biggest ones though is about to have his name checked off that list. The one and only Mark Hamill. That’s right, Luke Skywalker, the Joker, and numerous other characters Hamill has represented over the years is about to be enshrined in history via this star. The event will take place on March 8, and will be hosted by George Lucas and Harrison Ford, who are, of course, tied to Mark Hamill via Star Wars. It’s important to note that Hamill isn’t just known for Luke Skywalker, or even the Joker (though both are important to his career). He’s voiced numerous characters over the years, including several in video games and animated series that are key parts of our culture. He was Wing Commander, he was in a Scooby-Doo

Mark Hamill Refutes Rumors Of Him Being Forced To Say Things About Last Jedi

Mark Hamill Refutes Rumors Of Him Being Forced To Say Things About Last Jedi

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has proven to be a very divisive film. Some people call it the “best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back”, others call it a film “filled with plot holes and terrible twists”. Everyone has an opinion on it it seems, including some of the actors. Mark Hamill, for instance, noted that after talking with director Rian Johnson about how Luke Skywalker was going to be portrayed in the film, he noted that “this isn’t my Luke Skywalker.” Later on though, Hamill noted that just because he didn’t like the interpretation doesn’t mean that he didn’t like the movie, the director, or his role. However, some fans were unconvinced, and thought that Disney/Lucasfilm forced him to spin the conversation so that more anger couldn’t be flung at the film. Well, Hamill took to Twitter to debunk this rumor: “I’m really enjoying the conversations about #TheLastJedi both Pro AND Con. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion-but let me make one thing perfectly clear: Neither @Disney or

We are but days away from the arrival of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, and early reviews cite the film as one of the best films in the franchise, which is no small compliment. This is fascinating as after the prequels were done, many felt the saga was truly complete, and no new films would come. But, when Disney bought Lucasfilm, they made sure it happened, and in bulk. And no one can argue with their success, but, that doesn’t mean the path they took was technically right. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) for example noted in an interview that while he’s happy for the new films, it’s clear that Disney didn’t listen to Star Wars creator George Lucas in regards to the new trilogy. “What I wish is that they had been more accepting of his guidance and advice,” Hamill told Metro. “Because he had an outline for [Episodes] VII, VIII and IX. And it is vastly different to what they have done.” This is interesting for numerous reasons, not the least of

So, when Star Wars: The Force Awakens came to be, and it was revealed the original trio of actors from the first films would be back in the forms of Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker, we all knew they would have to be older versions of themselves, as 30 years had passed since Return of the Jedi. Sure enough, that was true. But what you might not know, is that for Luke Skywalker, he was originally going to look MUCH older. Mark Hamill was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the other night and let loose the details on what happened. “Well, in the script it says, ‘He turns, removes his hood; with white, flowing hair and a white beard, it is Luke Skywalker,’” Hamill said. “I said, ‘Wait a minute. Chronologically, if this follows Return of the Jedi, I’m only in my early fifties. What’s this Methuselah look you have planned for me?’” So, what was he to do? Go natural of course. “I don’t color my hair, but when

Mark Hamill Was “Really Scared” Of Returning To Star Wars

Star Wars has a very interesting history when people really start to examine it. The original film was delayed from original release spots, and it was projected to be a flop, yet it succeeded in a big way. Empire Strikes Back brought the universe to a crescendo, while Return of the Jedi is debated as being either really good, or kind of bat. The prequels are often criticized for “losing the magic” of the original films. The cartoons however started out rough, but then became a phenomenon all their own. And then, there’s the new trilogy. MANY thought this was a simple cash grab for Disney, who bought Lucasfilm and then ordered a new slate of films set in the timeline of the original six films. But what’s more, they wanted to bring back as many characters from the original films as possible. This of course included Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker. But as he revealed, he wasn’t certain this would work: “I was completely stunned,” Hamill recalled to The New

Hamill Recants Statement about The Last Jedi Director

It’s not uncommon for actors and actresses to disagree with some things about a movie script, especially when it concerns the characters they’re portraying, as they have a connection to them and want them to be portrayed right. This goes double for those who have played a certain character for a long time, like Mark Hamill. He is going to be back as Luke Skywalker (in an actual speaking part) in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and he was quoted in May as saying he didn’t agree with what director Rian Johnson was doing to him: “I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character.” he was reported to have said. Well, at the Tony Awards, Hamill basically recanted and clarified the statement, saying: “I got into trouble because… I was quoted as saying to Rian that I fundamentally disagree with everything you decided about Luke, and it was inartfully [sic] phrased. What I was, was surprised at how he saw Luke. And it took me a

Adam Driver Wouldn’t Hang Out With Mark Hamill

There’s a lot of camaraderie in films among the actors and actresses that work in them. Now sure, not everyone has to get along, but often times long friendships are made on these films. One that may not be happening though is Mark Hamill and Adam Driver, for as Hamill noted to Vanity Fair, he offered to have lunch with Driver, but was turned down: “I remember saying to Adam, ‘I don’t know how you work, or your technique. But, at some point, you were my nephew. I probably bounced you on my knee. I probably babysat for you. There’s that side, and now we’re both estranged from the Skywalker family. All I’m suggesting is, if you’d like, maybe we could go to lunch, we could get together and hang out.” A heartfelt request wouldn’t you say? But, Driver said no. But don’t worry, Hamill didn’t seem to mind, he actually noted. “More power to him”. But why did he say no? Well, because Driver was trying to embody who Kylo Ren
