As far as child actor debuts, it's not quite Hailee Steinfeld in Joel and Ethan Coen's "True Grit." But now that the whole world knows full well that Glen Powell is a bona fide movie star (a fact getting slammed home with a tempestuous fury this week in "Twisters"), we can look back at his first big-screen appearance in Robert Rodriguez's 2003 film "Spy Kids 3: Game Over" and kind of see it.
Powell's big scene arrives early in the movie, when Juni (Daryl Sabata) wanders into a massive arena. It's here Juni meets the Long-fingered Boy (identified as such only in the credits), who zips the Spy Kid up to the top of a tower, throws him into a robotic suit, and informs him he'll be doing battle with a formidable combatant named Demetra (Courtney Jines). The 14-year-old Powell is plenty comfortable on screen, though the broadness...

Glen Powell is paying tribute to Bill Paxton as Twisters get released in theaters.
In a post on social media, Powell remembered the late Twister actor and tipped his hat to his Red Wing co-star.
“As we release Twisters into the world today, I just wanted to look up and tip my hat to the legend that is Bill Paxton,” Powell shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “A great friend of mine who saw poetry in the natural world. His boots are impossible to fill, but this life is all about chasing the greats.”
Powell shared a photo with Paxton to accompany the post. The actors shared credits in 2013’s Red Wing, a Western directed by Will Wallace which also starred Breann Johnson, Joelle Carter, Luke Perry and Frances Fisher.

Octavia Spencer reiterated her steadfast support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at a July 12 campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan calling the current president “a fighter.” The event was held at Renaissance High School, where Biden campaigned ahead of the 2020 presidential primary.
Spencer said Biden has a “bold, positive vision for the future where freedom and democracy are strengthened and where the economy works for everyone.” The Oscar-winner and “Hidden Figures” star pointed to the last election, where Biden narrowly defeated former President Donald Trump in Michigan, with 50.6% of the state’s votes versus Trump’s 47.8%.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have delivered,” Spencer said. “They’ve delivered. They’ve rebuilt a battered economy and brought manufacturing back to our shores. And listen up, ladies: they’re fighting each and every day for our fundamental right to make our own decisions about our own bodies.”

Yes, I see that title and I immediately picture “ole’ blue eyes”, a trench coat draped over a shoulder, crooning that catchy 1954 Bart Howard classic. And that’s just what the producers want to evoke, to get you in a nostalgic mood for a frothy romance set against the backdrop of the “space race”. Mission accomplished, but could a “rom-com” really work against the somber historical backdrop we’ve seen in heavy, serious films like First Man, A Million Miles Away, Hidden Figures, Apollo 13, and the HBO miniseries, “From the Earth to the Moon”.Now, that’s the trick, much like the possible results facing NASA, Will it blast off or crash land? But it’s “star power” rather than rocket fuel that propels Fly Me To The Moon.

Hollywood icon Kevin Costner has recently disclosed the extraordinary circumstances under which he filmed his role in the acclaimed 2016 biographical drama “Hidden Figures.” In a revealing interview with People magazine, Costner shared that he battled severe kidney stones throughout much of the production, often relying on morphine and intravenous medication to manage his pain.
“I’ve never worked drunk on a set. I’ve never worked high on a set, but I was on morphine the last two weeks that I worked on ‘Hidden Figures,'” Costner stated, shedding light on the challenging conditions he faced while portraying NASA official Al Harrison in the film.
The 68-year-old actor, known for his unwavering work ethic, detailed how he “worked 10 days under an IV drip” without missing a single day on set. Costner recounted, “About three days of it I was normal and then something happened to me.” He described spending time between scenes in his trailer,...

It’s gonna take more than a few kidney stones to keep Kevin Costner down.
The Academy Award winner revealed that he “worked 10 days under an IV drip” while filming his role as Al Harrison in the 2016 biographical drama Hidden Figures, but he “never missed a day of work.”
“I’ve never worked drunk on a set. I’ve never worked high on a set, but I was on morphine the last two weeks that I worked on [Hidden Figures],” Costner told People, adding: “I don’t even know how. About three days of it I was normal and then something happened to me.”
In between scenes, Costner said he “sat in my trailer with a morphine drip in my arm” and soon had to keep his sleeves rolled down to cover up the IV bruising. “Eventually I had to. I wanted to cry, but there was everybody watching, so I didn’t,...

Some of our younger readers might not remember this, but in the early 1990s, Kevin Costner was objectively the biggest thing in Hollywood.
The impressive streak of Field of Dreams, Dances With Wolves, JFK, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and The Bodyguard cemented Costner's place as one of the most bankable box office draws of his generation.
The fact that Costner wrote, directed, and starred in Wolves -- which went on to win several Oscars, including Best Picture -- had many industry scribes drawing comparisons to a young Orson Welles.
A Walking Cautionary Tale
But even the brightest stars can be eclipsed by a string of historic flops, and by the end of the decade, Costner's name was synonymous with "box office poison."
1995's Waterworld and 1997's The Postman -- both written, directed by, and starring Costner -- were such colossal (and colossally expensive) failures that they combined to make...

With Horizon: An American Saga Part 1 out this weekend, many may be thinking back to other Kevin Costner movies that have made up the actor, director and producer’s career. While the Western genre played a very big part in Costner’s acting, he also starred in a number of sports-themed films, action movies, political thrillers and more.
More recently, Costner went through a range of playing Clark Kent’s father in Man of Steel (2013), a grandfather in Black or White (2014) a cross country coach in McFarland, USA (2015) and then a NASA director in Hidden Figures (2016). Western films he is known for include Silverado, Open Range, Dances With Wolves, Wyatt Earp and more.
The actor’s development can be traced through 20 films in which he starred, listed below.

Glen Powell was “barely getting by” before his breakout role in “Top Gun: Maverick,” even after appearing in other Oscar-nominated films.
Powell had a small role in 2017 historical feature “Hidden Figures,” which the actor recalled was the only film he starred in for a year’s time. That means his “Hidden Figures” salary of $35,000 had to tide him over for a whole 12 months.
“I had a small role in ‘Hidden Figures,’ but I had such a good feeling about that movie and what it would become. It’s that point in your career where you’re barely getting by,” Powell told Interview magazine. “I think I made $35,000 on that movie, and it was the only movie I made that year.”
He added, “There’s a lot of things I could have done in terms of guest spots, but basically, I made a decision to use my old Ut [University of Texas] economics class,...

Pharrell Williams has always done things differently in his music and his fashion, so why would his movie be different?
The singer-producer-designer is doing a biopic about his life. Focus Features just released the trailer for it. But it’s not your average musician biopic of the kind “Walk Hard” parodied. No, Williams is telling his life story through Legos. The movie is called “Piece by Piece,” but a more descriptive title would be “The Lego Pharrell Movie.”
The film follows Williams’ artistic journey, from growing up in Virginia Beach to the peak of the music industry, but tells it in an unconventional way, with impressionistic animation that combines psychedelia and Legos. The film is directed by Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville in his feature debut.

Actor Glen Powell was propelled to new heights of stardom when he starred as Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick. The Tom Cruise-starrer was the highest-grossing film of 2022 and was even nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Powell’s role as an arrogant yet principled Navy pilot received positive responses from fans and critics alike.
Though Powell portrayed Hangman to perfection, that was not the first role he auditioned for. The actor reportedly first hoped to star as Rooster, the role that eventually went to Miles Teller. However, after being rejected from the role and not being impressed with Hangman on the page, Powell was convinced by Cruise to take the character.

Glen Powell is an American actor, writer, and producer who is involved in almost every part of filmmaking. Recently, he’s been known for his roles in ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Anyone But You.’ One of his big breaks came in 2016 with the movie ‘Hidden Figures,’ where he played astronaut John Glenn. This film, which shows the contributions of African American women mathematicians at NASA during the Space Race, was a big hit.
Powell started acting much earlier, appearing in a ‘Spy Kids’ movie when he was 13. Now, after finally making it big in Hollywood, the actor is stepping back and ready to give it all up.
Previously, the actor said he was ready to retire from acting and didn’t want to be in Marvel movies or films aimed at winning Oscars. However, in a recent interview with GQ, he said he’s willing to make an exception.

Glen Powell is sharing why he worried he ruined 2016’s Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures.
The actor, who portrayed astronaut John Glenn in the movie, made a recent appearance on the Therapuss With Jake Shane podcast where he recalled his first time watching a rough cut of the historical drama.
“It does get in your own head,” Powell explained. “People forget that when you’re watching a rough cut of a movie, it’s probably like watching the footage of yourself that you’re having to edit. So you sit there and you’re like, ‘I hate myself.’”
He continued, “I remember watching [Hidden Figures] for the first time on the Fox lot — and this was before all the effects were done, the music was in [and] the sound design — and I literally left the movie, and I puked in the bushes.”

It’s taken a while for Glen Powell to truly step into the spotlight. After popping up in the likes of Hidden Figures, Set It Up and Everybody Wants Some!! (the last his first collaboration with Richard Linklater), it was 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick that saw him really take flight, giving an unforgettably hissable-yet-heroic performance as Lt Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin. Major turns have come since — box-office-busting romcom Anyone But You and another aviation adventure, Devotion — but it is with Hit Man that Powell announces himself as a movie star and a filmmaking force to be reckoned with.
Inspired by the true story of teacher-turned-pretend-assassin Gary Johnson (as reported by journalist Skip Hollandsworth in a 2001 article for Texas Monthly), Hit Man sees Powell re-team with Linklater, this time on a deeper creative level as co-writer. It takes the real-life nugget of Gary’s unusual side-hustle and expands it into a tale of murder,...

Octavia Spencer has said that her aspirations in the film world were initially much smaller than being the Oscar-winning actress she became. In fact, she initially aspired to just work behind the scenes in the film world in an office capacity.
After working office jobs on a few films that shot in her native Alabama, Spencer eventually got a job in the casting department of “A Time to Kill” starring Matthew McConaughey. She convinced director Joel Schumacher to let her audition, and he cast her in a small role in the film. Her friend Taylor encouraged her to move to Los Angeles, and she began to get steady work as an actress. While she worked for 15 solid years in small parts on films and guest appearances on television shows, her career trajectory didn’t seem to be one that would make her a three-time Oscar nominee.

If you appreciated Barbie’s eye-popping zaniness but its virtuous speechifying set your teeth on edge, have I got a sugary treat for you. And by “sugary,” I mean empty calories, not saccharine sentimentality. Gleefully silly — this is, after all, the directing debut of TV’s master of the domain of nothing — Unfrosted takes the origin-story template, wrings it dry of emotion, mixes basic facts with goofy fiction and serves up a bit of toasted history about the search for a “fruit-filled pastry dingus,” the 20th century creation we now know as the Pop-Tart.
Teaming again with his Bee Movie screenwriting collaborators, but this time without the strained punning and belabored narrative mechanics, Jerry Seinfeld has lured a cast of thousands to play characters both real and invented, often a hybrid of the two, in a straight-up comedy — no therapeutic underpinnings or civic lessons — that’s funniest when it isn’t trying too hard.
