I will be the first person in line to see this movie - have different and high levels of respect for all involved and LOVE John Madden. Question - do you think this film is getting made mostly because he won a Super Bowl as a coach, because of his broadcasting career or because of the Madden video g...

Awesome............
I'm not sure, Sam Sokolow. I don't know a lot about John Madden. I mainly know of him because of the video games.
I literally posted this same article, scrolled down, and saw that Sam Sokolow beat me to it. You win this round, Sokolaw.
But seriously, this is a wild casting that will either be incredible or abysma...

I like Cage and watched Madden but this pairing does not seem to fit. Sorry!
Sam Sokolow as someone who came to American Football, late in the game (1980s - the Redskins Superbowls, with Theismann and Riggins) I knew John Madden from his commentary. I always thought he was the...

It is impossible to know the mind of another man, but I firmly believe that Lewis disavowed this movie not because of its quality or content, but because of the backlash. I would love to see this. What are your thoughts? https://deadline.com/2024/08/the-day-the-clown-cried-script-set-up-funde......

Hi Maurice, those are some good movies
Hey, Billy Kwack. I like Hugo and The Hunger Games movies. I haven't seen The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes yet. I don't remember much from Iron Man 2, but Whiplash was cool!...

@Hatem Slick & intriguing. Neo noir feel adds to thriller. Your play with visual colour & words is cool, small details right down to the 2 pairs shoes in lift. The upside down world & everything not what it seems makes me want to know more. I’d watch this.
@Debbie Croysdale you are right, thanks Debbie

You're welcome, Geoff Hall. That's great! How did you hear about the film studio?
Hey, Filmmakers!
What was the movie that made you want to make movies?
For me, there have been many films and series over the years that inspired me and left me buzzing to create. However, my mom always said that the first time I declared that I wanted to make movies was when I was 5-years-old after I...

It started when I watched The Spund of Music. I was mesmerized by it, I wanted to be an actor but things evolve and now I am more interested in production.
The Jerk. haha! I like how he went from rags to riches because he had an idea that made him wealthy. Then he was poor again...lesson learned but had a great family that supported him. It's been a whil...

Maybe not make but write! I used to run to the movie house on rainy days. A dime in my pocket. That's all it cost in those days on a Saturday afternoon. The movie that played was "To Sir With Love." I...

In 2007 I was cruising from Sante Fe to Los Angeles deep at night. In those days the toyota Prius was something new and it felt like flying a spaceship. During the drive I got a phonecall from woman who asked if I was interested in directing Terminator. Of course I said yes.

That has a John Wick meets Terminator vibe, Maurice Vaughan. Now if a Terminator kills the guy's puppy, you have a franchise.
John Wick meets Terminator. That'd be a hit, Leonardo Ramirez!
