We all know Harrison Ford as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise. However, he was not the first person who was offered that role.
Who was it? Recently, when Lorraine’s Ross King sat down with the acting legend, he asked him if it was true that he turned down the iconic role.
“We don’t want Harrison Ford to hear this,” Scarface said. “Harrison, you are a great actor, and I love you, but I am sorry, I made your career. Let’s face it.” And by facing it, we can all agree that he made Ford’s career!
Pacino then admitted that during that time, he was offered roles because of that one little movie he starred in, The Godfather.
I wonder if Star Wars would have done as well had Pacino sat next to Chewy. I don’t think it would have because Harrison made him so lovable, and Pacino has never done that in a part.
The first trailer is out for House of Gucci, and I am sure there will be a lot of Oscar buzz about the based on a true story movie. Mostly because there are so many Oscar winners like Al Pacino, Lady Gaga, and Jared Leto in it. I have a feeling the latter will win his second Best Supporting Actor for his part in this film because he is so unrecognizable.
When it comes to the film itself, I hope it streams the same day it comes out on November 24th. Because it feels more like made for TV movie than a big screen one. Therefore, I would rather watch it from bedroom than in a theater
Al Pacino, 80, fell asleep while waiting to find out if he won Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama for Hunters at the Golden Globes. Does anyone blame him? They were a real snoozefest.
Not that I watched, but my Twitter feed didn’t blow telling me something exciting happened during the first big awards show in 2021.
BTW He should have one. I am not a fan of his, and I loved him in Amazon Prime’s Hunters. If you haven’t seen the series, watch it now. I promise it won’t put you to sleep as the Globes did.
I am not a Godfather fan. The only thing I know about the third movie is that some say it is the worst sequel ever made.
Well, Francis Ford Coppola is hoping to rectify that in December. Paramount Pictures is releasing a new edit of the film that has been remastered. Godfather: Part III also has a new name. It will now go by Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Type that without copy and paste.
“‘Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone’ is an acknowledgement of Mario’s and my preferred title and our original intentions for what became ‘The Godfather: Part III,'” said Coppola. “For this version of the finale, I created a new beginning and ending, and rearranged some scenes, shots, and music cues. With these changes and the restored footage and sound, to me, it is a more appropriate conclusion to ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Godfather: Part II’ and I’m thankful to Jim Gianopulos and Paramount for allowing me to revisit it.”
THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleon will be in theaters and on home video in the final month of the year of the film’s 30th anniversary. Be prepared to go to the mattresses to watch it.
Are you looking forward to seeing the new edit of the movie, or do you think it should swim with the fishes? I am tempted to watch the first two films and then go see the new version of the final film in the triology. I wonder if I would enjoy it more.
Amazon Prime announced today that they picked up their killer show Hunters for a second season, and I want to know what they are going to do next. The first season ended perfectly with several jaw-dropping moments. With the last one being the biggest surprise of them all. It is because of that, I cannot wait to see what they do next and how they do it.
I know I am being vague, but it is something you have to see because it is that stunning. The whole episode was the best hour of television all year. I have never seen a show wrap things up as brilliantly as they did. Why it was not nominated for any Emmys, shows that those schmucks don’t know anything about great television.
Don’t believe me that it is great TV. I hate anything that Al Pacino is in and normally cannot watch anything with Nazis. However, the first scene in the series (see above video) had me hooked before the final shot rang out. Watch it, and then binge the whole series. When you are done with the first season, email me and tell me what you think will happen next. That and now you get why I didn’t say any more than I did?
Thank you, Amazon Prime! 2020 isn’t all bad with news like this.
