Billy Idol claims he was asked to play Spike in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. The 68-year-old rocker believes the spiky-haired vampire - who was ultimately played by James Marsters - in the hit TV series was entirely based on him and while he was keen to take on the role, his management felt it wouldn't be the right career move. Asked if he was flattered by the similarities between himself and Spike, he told The Guardian newspaper: "They wanted me to play Spike, to be quite honest. I wanted to do it because I believed I could learn to act by doing it. "But my manager didn’t want me to do televis...

Blockbuster 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' could not have been achieved without 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. Director Wes Ball has revealed the research and development that went into James Cameron's 2022 'Avatar' sequel paved the way for the CGI water used in the first flick in a new trilogy in the sci-fi action series. The filmmaker told ComicBook.com: "We could not have done water if they hadn't done a major kind of R and D on Avatar: The Way of Water. And we took that and went further with it." He continued: "There's about 30 to 35 minutes minutes of full CG in the movie. I mean, every...

Elon Musk has predicted that superhuman AI will outsmart us all by next year. The 52-year-old billionaire businessman had previously suggested super intelligent robots would emerge in 2029, but now he's warned it could be as soon as 2025. During a live-streamed interview on his X platform, he said: “My guess is that we’ll have AI that is smarter than any one human probably around the end of next year. “Last year it was chip-constrained. “People could not get enough Nvidia chips. This year it’s transitioning to a voltage transformer supply. In a year or two, it’s just electricity supply.” When ...

James Cameron has hailed 'Dune: Part Two' as "pure cinema". The 'Titanic' filmmaker was very impressed by Denis Villeneuve's sequel - the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far - and he believes that the 'Sicario' director has been far more faithful to Frank Herbert's 1965 novel with his movies than David Lynch was in his "disappointing" 1984 picture. Speaking to the French publication Le Figaro, James said: "David Lynch's adaptation was disappointing. It was missing the power of Herbert's novel. "Villeneuve's films are much more convincing. The characters are sketched out, they are very identif...

Jayne Wisener used "artistic licence" to add more background to her 'Unsinkable: Titanic Untold' character. The 36-year-old actress features in the new film – which focuses on the aftermath of the 1912 disaster – as Maggie Malloy and had to put herself in her character's shoes as there was only limited detail about her role. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Jayne said: "I play Maggie Malloy, who is a real person, she's a senator's assistant, and she's first generation Irish. There's not a lot of information about her. So I was able to take some artistic licence and give a lot of myself to...

The 67-year-old actress played the role of heroine Sarah Connor in three movies in the sci-fi action series but has no desire to reprise the part after the disappointing response to the 2019 flick 'Terminator: Dark Fate'. Speaking to Business Insider, Linda said: "I'm done. I'm done. I have nothing more to say. The story's been told, and it's been done to death." Director James Cameron previously revealed that he was "in discussion" for a 'Terminator' reboot but Linda sees little point in reviving the franchise once aga...

The 48-year-old actress shot to fame with her role as Rose DeWitt Bukater in James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster when she was just 22 and admits to being unsettled by the attention that followed. Kate told PORTER magazine: "I felt like I had to look a certain way, or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant.

James Cameron has already made plans for the sixth and seventh 'Avatar' films. The 69-year-old director has the future of the epic sci-franchise mapped out until the release of 'Avatar 5' in 2031 and revealed that he has ideas beyond that – even though he is likely to have stepped away from directorial duties by then. James told People magazine at the Saturn Awards on Sunday (04.02.24): "We're fully written through movie five, and I've got ideas for six and seven, although I'll probably be handing the baton on at that point. "I mean, mortality catches up. But I mean, we're enjoying what we're ...

OJ Simpson was originally cast as The Terminator. The ex-NFL star-turned actor, who had roles in films including ‘The Naked Gun’ film trilogy, was set to play the cyborg in James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi classic, according to Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76, who landed the role. Arnie told the ‘Smartless’ podcast about how he had originally been cast as rebel soldier Kyle Reese instead of The Terminator: “I think OJ Simpson was cast, not yet a contract signed, but was cast already to play The Terminator. “So Cameron was trying to talk me into playing the Terminator and I said, ‘Nah, I want to play Rees...
