Neil Jordan on Tom Cruise’s ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Casting Controversy: “He Liked the Challenge of Proving Them Wrong” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Interview with the Vampire filmmaker Neil Jordan pulled off a dream casting coup with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. But much to Jordan’s chagrin, Cruise immediately found himself at the center of a casting-related nightmare. It wouldn’t be the last time he faced scrutiny over playing an iconic literary character, but his go-round nearly two decades later as Jack Reacher came with one notable distinction. Jack Reacher series author Lee Child endorsed Cruise’s casting at the time, despite the actor no
Ethan Hawke Talks Making ‘The Weight’ the Hard Way and Potential ‘Black Phone’ Trilogy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ethan Hawke’s The Weight is proof they can still make them like they used to. Hawke remembers his 19-year-old self trudging through snowy Alaska for White Fang. He remembers cruising around Los Angeles with Denzel Washington in a 1979 Chevy Monte Carlo for Training Day. Those experiences, among many others, taught him the value of real-world immersion, something that’s gotten lost in an age of manufactured environments and digital backdrops. There’s an unreplicable quality to putting actors in a

Zoe may present as a South Asian woman, but she’s really the last remaining Manhunter — a synthetic shapeshifter originally created by th
‘Resident Evil’ Filmmaker Zach Cregger Reveals the Key Adjustment He Made After Test Screenings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When The Hollywood Reporter first caught up with writer-director Zach Cregger in the lead-up to Barbarian’s 2022 release, he detailed the struggles he faced in getting the inventive horror movie off the ground. The film was part of a larger effort to reboot his career after, by his own admission, he wasn’t particularly proud of his previous co-directorial work in the 2010s comedy space. Since then, Cregger has gone on one of the most charmed runs of any filmmaker in town. He followed Barbarian’s
Paul Greengrass Talks ‘The Uprising,’ Robin Hood and the Timeless Power of Rebellion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul Greengrass has long been drawn to ordinary people standing up against forces greater than themselves. It’s a theme that runs through Bloody Sunday, United 93 and Captain Phillips, among others, and one that continues in his newest film, The Uprising. As a schoolboy in the U.K., the future journalist-turned-filmmaker learned about the Peasants’ Revolt, the 1381 uprising that swept across England. In the aftermath of the devastating Black Death, Wat Tyler, John Ball and other rebel leaders ro
