Viggo Mortensen broke two toes kicking a helmet in Lotr (Photo Credit – Facebook)
Viggo Mortensen’s commitment to The Lord of the Rings trilogy was legendary and sometimes downright painful. While filming The Two Towers, Mortensen’s Aragorn lets out an agonizing cry while kicking a helmet, thinking his friends Merry and Pippin are dead. That wasn’t just acting; Mortensen’s cry was an absolute scream of pain—he’d broken two toes in the process.
It’s become a classic Lotr trivia moment, shared (maybe too many times) by fans, but Mortensen’s injury was no small thing. Even director Peter Jackson couldn’t resist a chuckle, noting Mortensen’s reaction as he stayed in character despite his injury. Mortensen kicked that helmet with such force and precision that the pain became part of Aragorn’s journey.
Mortensen Took ‘Method’ to a New Level
Mortensen was no stranger to bruises.

JoJo Eusebio is making his directorial debut with the upcoming action comedy “Love Hurts.” Eusebio has spent nearly three decades coordinating stunts and choreography for blockbuster movies. He saw the directorial transition as a natural progression in his career.
The film stars Ke Huy Quan, known for his role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” as Marvin Gable. Gable is a successful real estate agent whose life changes when an ex-partner contacts him. Ariana DeBose co-stars as Rose, Gable’s former associate who is now a notorious crime lord.
The story follows Gable as he’s forced to confront his violent criminal past. He must face off against his brother Knuckles, played by Daniel Wu, who takes over the crime family business. Eusebio tailored the script to highlight Quan’s martial arts skills and action experience from his Hong Kong film career.
Despite being new to action roles, DeBose impressed the filmmakers in rehearsals.

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted a blog, which hopefully someone out there has noticed. I had to take a brief hiatus from my daily Days viewing to get a real job (temporarily!). But I didn’t completely leave the soap world behind. For the past six week, I served as the production coordinator for a civil war feature filming in middle Tennessee produced by All My Children veteran Alan Dysert (ex-Sean Cudahy) and featuring Dynasty legend John James (ex-Jeff Colby).
Yes, that’s right. Nashville is not just home to the Dimera warehouse in which all the dead bodies of Salems finest and not-so-finest are resurrected when the storyline serves. It is also home to quite a few daytime alums. Melissa Reeves, Scott Reeves, Jonathan Jackson. So it should come as no surprise a movie filming just outside of Nashville would feature not one but two former sudsers.

In the future, everyone will get their own “John Wick”-esque action comedy.

On Tuesday, Universal released a trailer for the film, which opens in theaters early next year. It features Quan’s impressive stunt work scored by the ironically easy-listening tones of Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.”

Nobody thinks they’ve got an accent, which means they really notice when someone is imitating their accent so badly that it borders on mockery. For instance, most Americans would describe their own speech as “normal,” but have you ever heard a foreign actor just completely bomb it? If not, go watch Iwan Rheon pretend to be an American rock star in The Dirt, Just his scenes, though. That movie is a lot.
That’s why it’s all the more impressive when they get it right, even if, by the nature of getting it right, you never even notice. “In high school, I remember people being shocked to learn Hugh Laurie was English when House was huge,” Redditor homeMalone89 told r/Movies. “I think Daniel Kaluuya’s American accent work is the best there currently is.”

Based on actual events of the serial killer Billy Mansfield Jr., this portrays a bone-chilling story of a young girl's unimaginable horrors and every parent’s worst nightmare.

Everyone’s politics is up for discussion these days and Mark Ruffalo is no exception.
The Marvel star is not one to shy from a fight, either as the Hulk or as himself – and especially in the political arena.
With 2024 election nearly upon us, Mark is revving up his efforts to encourage his followers to get involved and more importantly, get informed.
But what exactly are Mark Ruffalo’s politics? He’s taking swipes at republican nominee Donald Trump one minute and the next, he’s calling out Democratic governor Gavin Newsom.
Whose side is he on?

Winter may never come — if HBO’s release schedule continues to gestate at a glacial pace.
That’s among the running gags in the Saturday Night Live Cut for Time sketch titled “Blonde Dragon People,” which pokes fun at the network-streamer and its star prestige series House of the Dragon. In the six-minute-long video, a group of friends become increasingly confused with the show’s short runtime and long shooting schedule, extraordinarily similar-sounding names and continuity errors.
Dorgos, Dormos, Dargomos, Dorgon and Dorman are just a handful of the names that confuse the group, which comprises SNL stars Andrew Dismukes, Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker and newcomer Jane Wickline.
As they watch the show’s recap — as played by Chloe Fineman, Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang and a heavily accented and nonsensical James Austin Johnson (clearly parodying Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen in Hotd) — the friends start to lose track of plot points,...

Updated, with governor signing additional legislation: California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills today designed to give greater protections to performers and others over the use of their digital likenesses during their lives and to their estates.
Newsom signed the legislation at the Los Angeles headquarters of SAG-AFTRA, which has been one of the major champions of the new laws.
“We’re making sure that no one turns over their name, image and likeness to unscrupulous people without representation or union advocacy,” Newsom said.
Ab 1836 expands the scope of the state’s postmortem right of publicity, including the use of digital replicas, meaning that an estate’s permission would be needed to use such technology to re-create the voice and likeness of a deceased person. There are exceptions for news, public affairs and sports broadcasts, as well as for other uses such as satire, comment, criticism and parody and for certain documentary,...

Sometimes you just have to let sleeping dogs – or One-Eyed Willy – lie. Next year, The Goonies will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. But don’t expect a sequel to The Goonies, as one is neither in development nor being considered, according to two cast members from the original 1985 movie.
Word about a sequel to The Goonies has been swirling about the rumor mill this past week, but both Corey Feldman (“Mouth”) and Martha Plimpton (Andy’s best friend Stef) have sent those misconceptions to walk the plank. As Plimpton wrote on Instagram, “People, there is no Goonies 2 script, there is no one ‘attached’, Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real,” before encouraging people to vote. Feldman (who has been against the idea since Richard Donner’s death), meanwhile, posted on X earlier in the week, “2’Sday, Is #GOONIES2 Real?! EVERY1 Is Asking…I Can Officially Tell U 100% No! I...

Although Goonies never say die, there are few other words to describe the hopes for a potential sequel.
Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton, who starred together in Steven Spielberg‘s The Goonies (1985), recently responded to reports that a sequel to the beloved movie is in the works with the original cast expected to return.
“2’Sday, Is #GOONIES2 Real?! EVERY1 Is Asking…I Can Officially Tell U 100% No! I Hav No Info That A Sequel Is In The Worx,” wrote Feldman on X, promoting the long-awaited premiere of his 2004 film The Birthday.
Plimpton also shot down the news while using the opportunity to engage fans in their civic duty. “People, there is no Goonies 2 script, there is no one ‘attached,’ Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real,” she shared in a post on Instagram. “What Is real is Check Your Registration And Vote!!!!”

The Goonies is a 1985 adventure comedy about a bunch of kids trying to save their homes from foreclosure; they succeed after an unlikely series of events involving pirate gold, organized crime, and of course, friendship. The movie stars the likes of Sean Astin (who went on to be Sam in The Lord of the Rings), Josh Brolin (who went on to be Thanos in the MCU), Ke Huy Quan (who won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once), Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton. The cast have agreed in the past that a sequel seems pretty much inevitable, but it hasn't happened yet...or has it?
No!...I think. The Sun spread a rumor earlier this month that the cast were reuniting for sequel all these years later, and cast members are now denying it in the strongest terms...while at least one of them pulls for it to happen.

Sad news for fans of “The Goonies” as a viral report claiming a sequel to Richard Donner’s 1985 classic is in development is not true. At least not at this time. The Sun claimed earlier this month that “The Goonies 2” would be filmed next summer with many of the original cast returning, but actors such as Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton members shut down the report.
“People, there is no ‘Goonies 2’ script, there is no one ‘attached,'” Plimpton wrote on Instagram. “Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real. What Is real is Check Your Registration And Vote!!!!”
Feldman added in a post on X (formerly twitter) that he had “no information” whatsoever that a sequel was in development.
It appears one would have to go back to 2014 for the last time there was serious buzz about “The Goonies 2” being developed. Variety reported at the time that...

It didn’t take long for The Goonies to become a classic staple in cinema history. Who knew an adventure-comedy about a bunch of kids living in the Goon Docks would become such an important and nostalgic part of many lives? As the kids embark on a treasure hunt, their humor-filled and heartfelt moments resonate with the viewers on some level or the other. For many, The Goonies is a trip back to their own childhood.

According to numerous reports in UK tabloids, the greenlight has been given for a sequel to the 1980s classic The Goonies.
Considering this has been on the cards for many years in Tinseltown, we like to take this news with a pinch of salt. However, according to The S*n and ‘its sources’, “The plan is to start developing the ideas for the follow-up next summer, with a possible release date of 2026 or 2027.”
“The original is so culturally significant, Warner Bros’ knows they have to get it totally right.
“Major stars will likely come back but the possibilities of where to take the sequel are endless.”
If the story is true, production is likely to commence next summer for a 2026/2027 release.
For our part, we recently spoke to Joe Pantoliano about the idea of a Goonies sequel, and how the original film has endured. His answer is below, at the time-stamped link.

Live-show veterans Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss just came off a very strongly rated Democratic National Convention — more than 26 million people tuned in Thursday night to watch Vice President Kamala Harris accept the presidential nomination.
The Emmy-decorated pair (Kirshner executive produced; Weiss directed) fashioned a four-day event marked by both flash and substance. Though the DNC veterans don’t typically choose the issue-oriented speakers — this year that fell largely to political consultant Stephanie Cutter and her team — Kirshner and Weiss have a huge hand in crafting the show’s feel and influencing the messages that reach us. They also devised that viral Lil Jon roll-call moment.
With the convention over, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the pair on what they’re proud of, what they’d do differently and that Beyoncé rumor that wouldn’t go away.
The DNC felt a little different this year — the energy, the glitz.

Though the DNC veterans don’t typically choose the issue-oriented speakers — this year that fell largely to political consultant Stephanie Cutter and her team — Kirshner and Weiss have a huge hand in crafting the show’s feel and influencing the messages that reach us. They also devised that viral Lil Jon roll-call moment.
With the convention over, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the pair on what they’re proud of, what they’d do differently and that Beyoncé rumor that wouldn’t go away.

After July’s Republican National Convention attracted such luminaries as Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Amber Rose, this year’s Democratic National Convention is drawing arguably bigger stars like Oprah, Spike Lee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Stevie Wonder.
This year’s DNC, celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic presidential nomination, was hosted by Tony Goldwyn, Ana Navarro, Mindy Kaling and Kerry Washington, with each star emceeing one night of the event. The four-day convention featured performances by Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Patti Labelle and other major musicians; surprise appearances by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, who gave a speech urging those who are registered as independent like herself to vote; a daytime panel moderated by Julia Louis-Dreyfus; and more.
Besides the noteworthy political figures who made an appearance at the DNC, including President Joe Biden and Harris herself, these are the recognizable names who have been spotted at events around the convention.
