Morgan Freeman Reviews, Interviews & More
Oblivion serves as a great opener for the summer film season, containing the kind of big budgeted sci-fi thrills that popcorn munching movie-goers would expect with a twisty plot that will keep many chatting about the picture long after it's over. While the plot has its flaws, the movie is still enjoyable to watch from beginning to end.
A sci-fi world isn't complete without engaging characters to keep your attention at bay. When director Joseph Kosinski selected the cast for Oblivion, he needed the perfect people for its world. In came Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko, both accomplished actors who have starred in blockbusters before. ScreenCrave recently spoke to the duo about taking part in such...
There's nothing particularly awful about Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen, mainly because it does what it's supposed to do. It's a very loud, action-packed thriller that never relieves you of the constant tension built in the narrative. But at the same time the wow factor leaves the film shortly after the half hour mark and leaves you antsy for more, which is never...
A director is captain of their movie ship. There's a lot they have to handle in order to keep it afloat. Luckily for Antoine Fuqua, director of Olympus Has Fallen, he had a spectacular cast behind him. Fuqua and actors Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and Angela Bassett recently sat down and revealed how fun it was being part of such an...
The trailer for Olympus Has Fallen is the latest in the long line of “Die Hard in a (insert location here)” films (other include Speed, Air Force One, all of the unnecessary Die Hard sequels, and this year’s White House Down, which looks identical to Olympus), featuring a down and out...
We’ve finally got some concrete casting news for the LEGO film set to be directed by Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Now, thanks to info from Village Roadshow Pictures and Warner Bros. four names have been confirmed the for film, and they are; Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks,...
The Dark Knight Rises is Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy. In a franchise-minded film industry that's a bold choice as most films these days are left open for more. But Nolan swears he's done so we have to believe that he and most of his cast are hanging up their capes and cowls. But do they send Batman out on a good note, or a brown one?
All of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies have had one absolute thing in common – an all-star cast. These high-profile actors have some pretty impressive resumes. So, with The Dark Knight Rises hitting theaters tomorrow and Nolan's trilogy finally coming to a close, we decided to look through Batman & Co.'s body of works and pick out the best,...
Well, it finally happened—the long-awaited final entry into Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises, had its world premiere in New York City. And, in case you couldn’t be there—and you probably weren’t—we’ve got the full video of the event below.
Just how many trailers can one film have? A teaser? Sure. A full trailer? Of course. A second full trailer? Why not? A third full-length trailer? Well… OK. A fourth trailer? Apparently so, because that’s what dropped late Tuesday: a trailer that begins as an ad for the entire Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, before jumping into two minutes of new The Dark...
Well, we’re less than two weeks away from the release of 2012’s most anticipated film: The Dark Knight Rises. And while we don’t have anything too spoilery to give away—Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Robin! Catwoman kills Alfred! It was all a dream of Commissioner Gordon’s! (I’m making these up, don’t panic)—we do have something pretty cool: the entire score for The...
It seems as if the marketing department behind The Dark Knight Rises has set its sights on total worldwide dominion as, four full-length trailers and about 15 teasers/ TV spots later, they’re still churning out new teasers, sneak peeks, and TV spots for the upcoming film—and each one contains a bevy of new footage. Today’s clip: a one-minute Hong Kong TV spot (in English),...
During last month’s 2012 MTV Movie Awards, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt appeared in order to debut new footage from the insanely anticipated The Dark Knight Rises. Unfortunately the footage was pulled offline almost as quickly as it appeared online—meaning that if you didn’t subject yourself to the horrors of...
Let’s start with the movie’s tag line: “Don’t Ever Cross… Alex Cross.” When that’s the best a film can come up with, you know you’re in trouble. Further, when the film is a reboot of the Alex Cross franchise (Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider) that replaces Morgan Freeman with Tyler Perry (a.k.a., the guy who writes, directs, and stars...
As the countdown to the July 20 premiere of The Dark Knight Rises continues, the onslaught of semi-spoilery Dark Knight Rises TV spots marches onward. Continuing the trend of revealing more and more of the film via TV spots rather than trailers, the newest TV spot features all-new footage of “The Bat” (essentially, the Bat-Plane), Anne Hathway’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman,...
The marketing campaign for The Dark Knight Rises has certainly been a fascinating one, as it’s seemingly broken all the traditional rules—first, the trailers were ambiguous and revealed very little (imagine that—a modern trailer that doesn’t spoil the film); second, the theatrical poster was, well, crap; third, the TV spots, normally 30 second bits of recycled trailer footage,...
Just when you thought Vegas movies were all about young people living it up à la The Hangover, something comes around the corner to make you think again--say, Morgan Freeman joining Robert De Niro and Michael Douglas for a Grumpy Old Men meets The Hangover comedy, to be directed by Jon Turteltaub (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) from a...
Last night's Golden Globes Awards (check out the list of winners) were just about as boring as, well, the Golden Globes from last year and the year before that and the year before that. Surprisingly, somehow, watching a bunch of celebrities celebrating their celebrity just doesn’t have the luster you’d think it would, and the show was a total snooze—with one or two exceptions (watching...
Dolphin Tale hits theaters this weekend with a bit of a splash, though possibly a little too much splash and not enough rippling. The stories tells the remarkable tale about the true-to-life dolphin "Winter" who lost her tail in a a fisherman's net and was saved by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida, which was not only represented in the film, but where they...
It's been nearly a decade since Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd made a movie together, but the two are back at it, this time in A Dolphin's Tale, which opens September 23. The film also stars Harry Connick Jr. and Kris Kristofferson, and is directed by Charles Martin Smith. The trailer has just come out for this 3-D movie, check it out...
