Talking with Deadline Hollywood, director Jean Dubont reflects on the challenges of creating the original movie, Twister, with its groundbreaking effects. The success of the movie relied heavily on the innovative and realistic effects that convinced the studio to move forward with the production. The film, grossing $494 million and earning two Academy Award nominations, featured an ensemble cast, led by Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, as amateur storm chasers facing Oklahoma's severe tornadoes. Dubont emphasized the authenticity of the storm scenes, using powerful jet engines and real-life debris to capture genuine reactions from the actors. The filmmaker also detailed the use of real effects, such as dropping giant combines from helicopters during intense driving sequences, to enhance the realism of the film. While not involved in the sequel, Twister, Dubont praised the direction and cast of the new installment, helmed by Lee Isaac Chung.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Nicolas Cage sat down with The Hollywood Reporter, telling them, if you only watch one movie of mine, watch this one. Known for his extensive filmography, spanning nearly 120 movies, Cage recommended the 2021 drama, Pig, as a must-watch for those unfamiliar with his work. In the film, Cage portrays a disillusioned loner and former chef seeking retribution for his stolen truffle pig, earning critical acclaim and a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Cage highlighted the film's emotional depth and relatability, describing it as a poignant exploration of tragedy and a departure from his more eccentric roles. Emphasizing the contrast with his public persona, Cage praised Pig for its quiet and contemplative nature, likening it to a folk song that resonates with universal themes of loss and resilience. KTLA 5 reports the August theatrical release of the second chapter of Kevin Costner's western epic, Horizon, an American saga, has been canceled following the underwhelming performance of the first film in theaters. New Line Cinema decided to halt the release of Horizon Chapter 2 to allow audiences more time to discover the initial installment. The proposed back-to-back release strategy was abandoned after the first chapter only garnered $23 million in its first two weeks. Costner's ambitious project, costing $100 million to produce, faced profitability challenges leading to the postponement of the sequel's release. Despite Costner's dedication to the project over three decades, the future of Horizon may transition to television as a serialized format. Costner, involved as director, co-writer and actor in the films, confirmed his departure from the series Yellowstone and expressed the project's planned evolution into a multi-installment TV series after the theatrical releases. The Huntsville item calls Fly Me to the Moon a dose of movie star charisma. Fly Me to the Moon brings together Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in a classic romantic movie premise set against the backdrop of the space race. Directed by Greg Berlanti, the film follows the story of Kelly Jones, an ad executive tasked with popularizing NASA's Apollo program, and Cole Davis, a dedicated flight director at NASA. As they navigate their differing approaches and a growing attraction, the film explores themes of patriotism, public relations and personal ambition. Despite some noticeable flaws in pacing and character development, the movie excels in building romantic chemistry between the leads, capturing the nostalgic atmosphere of the 1960s. While not a cinematic masterpiece, Fly Me to the Moon seems to offer an enjoyable cinema experience and a pleasant way to spend a summer evening.
