Glen Powell fooled Richard Linklater with his crazy 'Hit Man' personas. The 35-year-old actor stars in the movie as Gary Johnson – an undercover police officer who adopts various alter egos as a fake assassin – and he delved so deeply into some of the characters that he got the director confused. Speaking at a screening of the Netflix movie in New York City on Wednesday (17.04.24), Glen said: "My favourite part was, I was on set one day, when I was playing Tanner, the redneck guy with the missing back teeth, such a fun character. "I was talking to Rick, and Rick literally interrupted the conve...

[turns to dust like the dude in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade who drinks from the wrong Holy Grail]) In a recent interview, Black indicated that he is intrigued by the notion of revisiting his 2000s hit about a struggling rocker who finds his calling as a music teacher to elementary school kids. Black told JOE “I wish there’d be a School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo … I’m ready.” The movie was certainly successful enough...

Richard Linklater has urged people to see 'Barbie' multiple times. The 'Dazed and Confused' director was a big fan of Greta Gerwig's record-breaking movie - which starred Margot Robbie in the title role opposite Ryan Gosling as Ken - and thinks the hype surrounding that and the release of 'Oppenheimer' at the same time was great for the movie industry. He told NME: “I liked the musical numbers. I liked the movie a lot. It’s worth seeing a couple times. The best thing that happened to cinema in a while is ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Barbie.’ Sends a good message.” Though the 63-year-old filmmaker is "gl...

The director - best known for 'Before Sunrise' and 'Boyhood' - has shared his worries that indie and arthouse movies aren't valued in the same way any more and he puts it down to changes in Hollywood as well as with viewers themselves - questioning whether cinema-goers truly value quality filmmaking any more. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "It feels like it’s [independent cinema] gone with the wind - or gone with the algorithm. Sometimes I’ll talk to some of my contemporaries who I came up with during the 1990s, a...

Richard Linklater has thought about making a ‘Boyhood’ sequel that starts when its lead character is 30. The ‘Before Sunrise’ director, 62, famously filmed the epic coming-of-age tale featuring Ellar Coltrane as Mason Evans Jr over the course of 12 years from 2002 to 2013, and said the six-time Oscar winning project still “breathes” for him. He told Empire magazine in an interview to mark the Arrow Video release of the film when asked if there could be a follow-up: “There were things we could have done – it just hasn’t really grabbed. “For all we know, we could just jump in at age 30 or someth...
