Until Hulu did the lord's work and brought back Glenn Gordon Caron's "Moonlighting" last year, the series that launched Bruce Willis' career and solidified Cybill Shepherd's had been languishing for seemingly ages in a digital netherworld where its fans could not access it and potential newcomers had zero chance of discovering it. This would've been unthinkable during the show's 1985-1987 heyday, when the live-wire romantic chemistry of its leads and the inventive mystery plotting of Caron and his writers -- who once plunged their "Moonlighting" protagonists into a Shakespearian reverie -- made it must-see television. "Moonlighting" was hilarious, smart and ridiculously sexy.
And just as fast as it peaked, it was gone.
While the rerelease of "Moonlighting" on Hulu confirmed that it was every bit as fresh and funny as we remembered, bringing it all back meant revisiting its untimely demise. How could a show with two dynamic...

Emma Heming, who tied the knot with Bruce Willis over a decade ago, has been pretty vocal about the issues that have stemmed from the Pulp Fiction star’s Frontotemporal Dementia (Ftd) diagnosis. After being diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, which impacts a person’s ability to speak, read, and write, six months later, Willis was additionally diagnosed with Ftd, which currently has no cure.

For most of his career, Bruce Willis was known as an action hero, often playing cops, soldiers, or other leather-tough gentlemen of fortune. When Sylvester Stallone's nostalgia-based actioner "The Expendables" was released in 2010, Willis was one of the most prevalent credits, listed right next to Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's names. He was, in the eyes of the public, one of America's top leading men when it came to guns and mayhem. Willis played action heroes so well, though, because of a smirking, self-deprecating quality that often undercut his capacity for violence. Willis always lent a twinkling sense of humor to his gun-toting roles, making his genre pictures unique.
It's worth remembering that before "Die Hard," Willis was best known for the 1985 TV series "Moonlighting," a romantic caper show he starred in with Cybill Shepherd. He also appeared in the critically panned but widely successful comedy "Blind Date" wherein...

25 years ago, writer/director Alan Rudolph realized a decades-long dream when he finally got to make his adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut‘s “Breakfast of Champions” with a cast that included Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte, Albert Finney, and Barbara Hershey, all operating at the peak of their talents. The tale of a smiling car dealership mogul (Willis) in the midst of a breakdown, “Breakfast” was one of Rudolph’s best films, a hilarious, prescient, and audacious portrait of not just a man, but a country losing its mind.
“Breakfast of Champions” was a deeply personal, fully realized work from one of the most interesting American filmmakers of his era. It was also a complete flop with audiences and critics.
“The film came out for two or three days and was radioactive,” Rudolph told IndieWire. “Breakfast” was so buried by the studio that released it that even its director couldn’t get...

It has been about a year since Bruce Willis’s daughter Tallulah Willis was diagnosed with autism at the age of 29. In a recent interview, Rumer Willis talked about her sister’s diagnosis and how it wasn’t a bad thing at all. In fact, Rumer says it was the opposite and was like a “homecoming” for Tallulah.

Demi Moore and Rob Lowe are counted among the best stars that came out from the Brat Pack genre of films in the 1980s. Brat Pack referred to a group of young actors who co-starred in many coming-of-age films of that time. While Moore and Lowe were a hit on-screen pair after co-starring in St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night, they also “had a thing” off-screen.

Timing is everything, horses for courses, styles make fights, and every movie, no matter how packed with potential on the page, is subject to the whims of fate. And here's a casting "what if" that, had it gone a different way, might've turned one of the most beloved movies of the 1990s into a colossal flop.
Let's take a trip back to late June 1988. The summer movie season is in full swing. After a pokey start thanks to Ron Howard's Memorial Day dud "Willow," the box office has picked up under the power of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Big," and "Coming to America." Moviegoers were gearing up for the July releases, which, with the likes of "Short Circuit 2," "Arthur 2: On the Rocks," and "License to Drive" on deck, did not look particularly promising.

Back in the 80s, Stephen King adaptations ruled the theaters. You could barely go a few months without hearing about a new film that was coming out. One that many would be surprised to find out was a King adaptation would be the testosterone-infused murder game show The Running Man. Released under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman, the book was hardly a hit. Once King was outed as the author, sales went through the roof. Hollywood came calling. With King being popular once again, another adaptation of the book is in the making.
What’s It About?
In the 80s adaptation, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a wrongfully convicted police officer. He gets a chance at freedom if he can survive the game show The Running Man. Of course, the game is rigged so that no one ever wins, but this time is different. They don’t know who they are messing with.

From 2020 to 2022, Bruce Willis cranked out a huge number of movies, most of them low-budget sci-fi/action films that all went straight-to-video, and usually playing brief, supporting roles. The many films were, by and large, panned by critics and mocked by baffled fans, all of whom wondered by Willis didn't appear to have much on-camera dialogue, or why he wasn't the lead character. In three years, he appeared in 22 movies.
In March of 2022, it was announced that Willis had been diagnosed with aphasia, a brain condition that affected his ability to speak and comprehend language. Many of the above fans expressed their deepest apologies, and even the Razzies, in a rare show of good taste, retraced Willis' Worst Actor nominations. Willis retired from acting because of his condition. In February 2023, Willis, now 69, was also diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, and he remains in the care of his family.

When talking about Pulp Fiction 30 years later, Bruce Willis’ performance is not something that immediately comes up in discussions. Willis’s character Butch was one of the more conventional characters in the film, which was filled with image-breaking performances. However, Willis’ stardom gave a significant boost to the film at the time of its making.

Interestingly, Willis was not a name that Quentin Tarantino ever had in mind for the role. It was Harvey Keitel, who played the role of Winston Wolfe, who introduced the Die Hard actor to Tarantino. At the time, Willis was one of the only A-listers among the cast.

Image Source: 20th Century Studios Despite a recent interview with 20th Century Studios head Steve Asbell leaving fans with more questions than answers, the possibility of another Die Hard film hasn’t been completely dismissed. When questioned by The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit about the future of the franchise, Asbell offered a cryptic “No, not yet,” a response that has reignited speculation among those who’ve followed John McClane’s explosive adventures. Since its debut in 1988, the Die Hard series, starring Bruce Willis as the unforgettable John McClane, has delivered four action-packed sequels. Sadly, Willis’s premature retirement, due to a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, seemingly brought the franchise to a halt. Before his departure from acting, however, whispers circulated about a potential Die Hard film that would bridge the past and present. Entertainment insider Daniel Richtman hinted at a prequel being in development. As Cbr.com highlighted this ambitious project,...

Bruce Willis is one of the all-time great movie stars, a guy who could fill theater seats with a sarcastic one-liner and a charming but grumpy grin. Over the years he starred in all kinds of films, from zany dark comedies like "The Whole Nine Yards" to the Christmas action classic "Die Hard," but towards the end of his career, it seemed as if he was just putting out as much as he could without paying much attention to quality. It was a move that initially came under fire from fans before Willis's family announced his retirement in March of 2022 due to a diagnosis of aphasia, a condition that causes progressive cognitive decline. Though there were some questions as to whether Willis wanted to do these films to save up for retirement and help his family or whether he was being taken advantage of, otherwise the movies from this...

In Pulp Fiction Salary Discussed: Why John Travolta Was Paid $150,000 While Bruce Willis Got $800,000 (Photo Credit – Instagram)
When Pulp Fiction dropped in 1994, it wasn’t just the plot twists that had us all abuzz—it was the crazy salary disparity. John Travolta walked away with a mere $150,000. But Bruce Willis? He got a cool $800,000.
Let’s talk about Willis. By the time he stepped into the role of Butch Coolidge, he was already Hollywood stuff. He’d scored a Golden Globe for Moonlighting and defined action heroism with Die Hard, which grossed $143M. But, plot twist: Bruce needed a comeback like a boxer needs a second wind after a series of six cinematic flops.
Enter Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction. Bruce slashed his usual $10M salary to just $800k—but it did pay off! After the film blew up, he returned to the ring, earning between $20M and $25M per flick.

When Billy Crystal regularly hosted the Academy Awards, he liked to begin the show with a montage where he was inserted into the nominated films. The 2000 opening leaned more on Hollywood history, with Crystal appearing in vintage films like The Graduate and Psycho. There were still jokes about that year’s movies, though, like when a Charlie Chaplin homage included a title card where Crystal quoted the most famous line from The Sixth Sense: “I see dead people.” Crystal later had some more fun with the M.

Quentin Tarantino once said that good actors always rise to the occasion. His 1994 masterpiece Pulp Fiction gave a lot of would-be A-listers that platform to prove their worth to the world before the world knew them as Hollywood G.O.A.Ts. Now, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman, and Tim Roth walk in the hallowed halls beyond Sunset Boulevard.

Pulp Fiction proved so monumental to the reinvention of Hollywood genre movies after the ’60s that even the then-washed John Travolta found a renaissance within the unforgiving film industry. Tarantino quickly rose from the ranks of a novice video store clerk to one of the greatest directors of all time, with such independent attention to detail that even his crime films are reconciled in the public eye as art films.

It’s been over 50 years since The Day Of The Jackal became a classic of the political thriller genre – a gripping cat-and-mouse pulse-raiser about a master assassin, known simply as ‘The Jackal’, and the officer intent on taking him down. Now, all these years later, the story returns in series form with a stellar duo in those predator-and-prey roles: Eddie Redmayne as the seemingly shape-shifting sniper, and Lashana Lynch as his law-abiding nemesis. The chase is back on.
As Redmayne tells Empire in the Mickey 17 issue, the series both updates the story, now set in the present day, while keeping the old-school nature at the heart of it. “What I love about [the show] is this thrilling, very contemporary quality,” he explains, “but it has that analogue spycraft.” And in series form, the audience really has time to get under the Jackal’s skin. “What Edward Fox does so stunningly [in the ’73 film] is...

Ray Nicholson, the son of the legendary actor Jack Nicholson, recently shared insights about his connection with his father while promoting his latest horror film, Smile 2.
During the movie’s premiere on Monday, October 14, Ray, 32, spoke with Deadline, calling his father, Jack Nicholson, 87, both his “inspiration” and “hero.”

As you’ve probably heard by now, last week Elon Musk staged a tech event heralding his bold new vision for the world of tomorrow. Unfortunately, that “bold vision” was really just designs from a 20-year-old Will Smith movie that only has 57 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. You may as well try to base a futuristic utopia on Michael Bay’s The Island, or Surrogates starring Bruce Willis.
But the big star of the “We, Robot” event was Optimus, Musk’s exciting new artificial intelligence creation that can do our chores for us, throw dance parties and even serve drinks. Musk suggested that Optimus could one day be cheaper to buy than a car. But at least no Toyota Corollas have ever tried to murder John Connor.
It later turned out that these Optimus units were really being controlled by human beings, a detail that was conspicuously omitted from Musk’s presentation,...

What does "Pulp Fiction" have to do with low-budget horror movies? Well, the film's $8 million budget might seem like a fairly significant amount of money, but it's not the kind of figure you'd expect for a film starring Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, and Uma Thurman. Of course, at the time those actors weren't the bonafide megastars they'd become, or, in Travolta's case, king of the 0% Rotten Tomatoes score. Still, $8 million is more the kind of budget you'd expect for a mid-range horror movie, so it's impressive Quentin Tarantino managed to make $212 million from his off-beat postmodern pastiche.
That's not the only connection between "Pulp Fiction" and horror, either. Aside from the film's often striking depictions of violence, there's a surprising link between one of its stars and an ultra low-budget horror movie that debuted the same decade as Tarantino's film.

Demi Moore moved around a lot in her childhood, and her life wasn't wholly rosy. As she's described it, Moore frequently relocated around the U.S., struggling with her mother and her stepfathers, and often finding herself malnourished. When she was 16, Moore dropped out of high school and took a job as a receptionist at 20th Century Fox. She signed a modest modeling contract and was making ends meet. Her next door neighbor was, it turned out, Nastassja Kinski, and the German actor encouraged Moore to take acting classes. She continued to model while working her way into films, making her debut in the 1981 movie "Choices." The following year, Moore appeared in the 3-D monster movie "Parasite."
These were the first two steps in a career that experienced a massive upward trajectory. By 1984, Moore was already playing lead characters in major studio productions.

Happy 30th to Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino made a grand entrance with Reservoir Dogs, but it was 1994’s Pulp Fiction that solidified him as the director to watch with his unique brand of intermingling stories and 70s-inspired aesthetics. For the 30th anniversary, Pulp Fiction is returning to the silver screen in October for special presentations featuring pristine new 35mm prints in select theatres across the U.S. In addition, the film will be released on 4K Ultra HD in a 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition on December 3, 2024, from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Pulp Fiction was such a milestone that not only did it catapult Tarantino’s career immensely, but the film would also become the comeback for John Travolta and it would be the breakout for Samuel L. Jackson. He would be a standout early on in the film with a Bible verse monologue right before executing an unlucky individual. Jackson...

John Travolta has paid tribute to ‘Pulp Fiction’ for giving him "a second chance at a high-end career" in Hollywood.The 70-year-old actor starred as gangster Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 picture and has thanked the film for being "a next-level, upper echelon opportunity" that revived his career after a lean period following his 1970s success in 'Grease' and 'Saturday Night Fever'.In a retrospective look back at the flick in celebration of its 30th anniversary, Travolta told Variety: "The last success [I’d had] before ‘Pulp Fiction’ was the ‘Look Who’s Talking’ films, so getting the ‘Pulp’ offer was certainly a next-level, upper echelon opportunity more along the lines of the Oscar nomination-type performance of ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Blow Out’ integrity."I was one of his [Tarantino’s] favorite actors growing up on ‘Welcome Back Kotter’, ‘Saturday Night Fever’, ‘Grease’ and ‘Blow Out’, and he wanted to work with me.

Samuel L. Jackson recently remembered and recited a memorable monologue from the 1994 cult classic film “Pulp Fiction.” In a video posted to social media, Jackson casually sits on a couch and flawlessly delivers Jules Winnfield’s chilling speech from the Bible passage Ezekiel 25:17.
Released 30 years ago, “Pulp Fiction” tells intertwining crime stories set in Los Angeles. Quentin Tarantino’s directing earned widespread acclaim and seven Academy Award nominations. Jackson played Jules, a philosophical hitman, in an unforgettable performance. In a pivotal scene, Jules uses the biblical verse as a pre-execution ritual.
Jackson’s video commemorates the film’s 30th anniversary this year. Without pausing, he precisely speaks the entire monologue with the same intensity and dramatic flair seen in 1994. Fans were amazed that Jackson, at age 73, could still remember and deliver such a long speech from memory. His performance underscores how deeply the character and scene affected both viewers and his own career.

There’s no breaking Samuel L. Jackson’s concentration.
After 30 years, the Oscar-nominated star has “still got it,” reciting the iconic Ezekiel 25:17 Bible verse from memory in one of his standout scenes in a commemoration post for Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
In the clip for the seminal crime-comedy’s 30th anniversary, Jackson is seen sitting on a couch casually reciting the passage that describes the extent of the Lord’s anger and vengeance.

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper, and the finder of lost children.

Samuel L. Jackson is the most successful movie star ever -- he has the box office receipts to prove it. However, his winning streak doesn't begin quite when Jackson first began acting in the 1970s, but it definitely steps up about 20 years later when he played philosophical hitman Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction."
Oh sure, Jackson already had some memorable performances to his name, from "Do The Right Thing" to "Jurassic Park." But "Pulp Fiction" is when Samuel L. Jackson became a household name. That's what makes Jackson's small part in "Goodfellas" a few years prior -- as a barely-there, swiftly-killed criminal -- so surreal nowadays. Thanks to "Pulp Fiction," Jackson simply doesn't play those parts anymore.
But the part of Jules, the one that got Jackson his first and only Oscar nomination, came close to not being his at all. Tarantino originally wrote Jules with Laurence Fishburne...
