Star Wars has brought back a moment of George Lucas' Holiday Special, 47 years later, and here's how they lovingly recreated it. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is packed with Easter eggs, and one of the most remarkable is a hologram lifted straight from George Lucas' Holiday Special. It's an odd hologram of circus performers; in the Holiday Special, it was watched by Chewbacca's son Lumpy during Life Day. Viewers had never expected to see part of the Holiday Special, recreated for the present day.

Speaking to StarWars.com, Skeleton Crew's creators - Jon Watts and Chris Ford - revealed this became something of a passion project for them. "I was worried at some point that we were going to get a call that you can’t do that, but everyone was into it," Watts explained. "I was really surprised." The core problem, though, was that it wasn't possible to simply use the same footage.

Most sequels have a tough enough job just living up to their first movie, and this one would have had a big enough job just being a sequel to the original Shazam! What director David F. Sandberg’s first movie had was the novelty of the story of a boy having the power to just speak a magic word and finding himself in his now adult “ultimate form”, plus the power of being nearly Superman’s equal (some would argue even more), a fun novelty super hero movie. The story also had the subplot of young Billy Batson’s quest to find his mother after having been in foster homes his whole life, only to realize that the foster home he is in has provided him with the family he really needed by the end of the movie. In the end, he creates the Shazam family,...

Zachary Levi straddled the past and future of DC at the Shazam! Fury of the Gods premiere, a splashy affair that made good on the premise of Big meets supeheroes with a party that featured arcade games and a carnival-like atmosphere.

Levi, taking the stage at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, thanked leadership at Warner Bros., New Line and DC, which has faced executive shakeups since the days of Levi’s first film. Among those Levi thanked were new DC Studios co-head Peter Safran (a producer on Fury of the Gods) and former DC boss Walter Hamada, who exited his post as DC Films chief last year and who was instrumental in both Shazam! features. The executive, now overseeing a horror line at Paramount, was in attendance at the event.

Levi asked anyone who worked on the film to stand up before sharing a heartfelt message.

“Thank you from...

Check out the brand new trailer for director David F. Sandberg’s Shazam! Fury Of The Gods.

Hitting theaters on March 17, the film continues the story of teenage Billy Batson who, upon reciting the magic word “Shazam!,” is transformed into his adult Super Hero alter ego, Shazam.

Bestowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with having adult Super Hero alter-egos. But when the Daughters of Atlas, a vengeful trio of ancient gods, arrive on Earth in search of the magic stolen from them long ago, Billy—aka Shazam—and his family are thrust into a battle for their superpowers, their lives, and the fate of their world.

Check out the trailer breakdown Here with Sandberg where he talks about dragons, the daughters of Atlas and the magic word.

Shazam! is back!

Check out the first trailer for director David F. Sandberg’s Shazam! Fury Of The Gods.

The trailer appeared to a hyped up crowd during Warner Bros. Pictures’ theatrical panel in Hall H at the San Diego Comic Con 2022. Zachary Levi, Director David F. Sandberg, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer and Lucy Liu attended the panel to discuss the sequel set to open in theaters internationally beginning 15 December 2022 and in North America on December 21, 2022.

According to Variety:

The most energetic moment of the panel was when Helen Mirren and Rachel Zegler appeared remotely via video, and Mirren celebrated her female costars by saying,...

David F. Sandberg gave DC fans their first full look at the Shazam Family fully suited up for their appearance in Shazam: Fury of The Gods, with all new costumes that seems to have gone down a storm with Twitter users. With added texture and style, the new suits are a world away from the original movie's iterations, which many have said now look like "stunt doubles" in comparison. After the first official look at Zachary Levi, I'm not sure anyone expected the rest to be equally as slick.

They've done what they've had to do to survive on AMC's The Walking Dead, brining hope and despair to palpable life on the small screen with gritty realism every week. Covered in grime, splattered in blood, and trudging down the sun-baked backroads and brush-bordered trails this season, the stellar cast and crew of The Walking Dead have paid their dues and then some, and now they're getting a tip of the cap in return with seven nominations for the 41st Annual Saturn Awards.

Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Emily Kinney, Melissa McBride, Chandler Riggs, and Andrew J. West have all earned nominations, with the TV series itself receiving one as well. Also recognized in this year's nominations is Scream Factory's Nightbreed: The Director's Cut Blu-ray, NBC's Hannibal TV series, Only Lovers Left Alive, and many more.

Passionate Beauties and Sensual Bohemians

Kay Noske posts a dreamy Sunday...

It’s been two years. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are happily living uneventful lives at home. Tattoos have been lasered off, files purged. The last they heard from disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), he’d been tossed into a Thai prison and, with him out of the way, the guys have very nearly recovered from their nights prowling the seamy side of Las Vegas in a roofie’d haze, and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by drug-dealing mobsters in Bangkok.

The only member of the Wolfpack who’s not content is Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group’s black sheep has ditched his meds and given in to his natural impulses in a big way—which, for Alan, means no boundaries, no filters and no judgment—until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help he needs.

Director Bryan Singer has tweeted a revealing photograph of James McAvoy in costume as Charles Xavier on set of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Update (13/05/13): And now he has added another pic, this time of Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Days of Future Past is based on an Uncanny X-Men story published in 1981; part of the story takes place during 1973, part in the future as the original X-Men cast zip through time to stop the world being attacked by mutant sentinels. Xavier seems to be nursing a hippie hangover in this photo, somewhat reminiscent of a scruffier John Tavolta in Saturday Night Fever, although Singer himself used the hashtag #serpico. As for Hank and Logan, it’s brown, corduroy, patterns, blue, huge belt buckles and more brown. They compliment each other well.

McAvoy looks to be wearing a fitted geometric or floral pattern shirt,...

We’ve known for a while that X-Men: Days of Future Past would partly take place in the 1970s, roughly 10 years after the events of X-Men: First Class. We assumed the costumes would reflect the trends of the time, and that is indeed what director Bryan Singer and costume Louise Mingenbach have done. Say hello [...]

Read James McAvoy’s Xavier is looking hairy and groovy in latest set pic on Filmonic.

The next stage of evolution has begun for Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men movie series.

Filming began this week on X-Men: Days of Future Past, with director Bryan Singer tweeting several teaser pictures from the production as the cast began to arrive on set.

The images released by Singer included a shot of Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy aka Beast (above).

The look is less animalistic than in X-Men: First Class and a little more like Kelsey Grammer's older Beast in X-Men: The Last Stand, providing a bridge between the two versions and somewhat resembling the character's physical changes in the comics.

Among the most recent pictures was an image of Shawn Ashmore, who is on set reprising his role as Bobby Drake aka Iceman. Ashmore (as seen below) has markers on his face, used to track facial movement in motion-capture filmmaking.

The international trailer for The Wolverine was released this week. From a costume point of view the most interesting thing in it was Hugh Jackman wearing an awful lot of black. In the context of the story his character travels to Japan and falls in with a Yakuza clan. Black suits, shirts and ties are the unofficial uniform of the Yakuza, a look largely adopted from Hollywood gangster movies. The use of black in costume design denotes mystery, death and for want of a better word, ‘coolness’; it is as obviously symbolic as sexy red or cold blue.

To honour The Wolverine and his tendency to layer black on black (and black on black) we have compiled a list of the most interesting posts centred around this colour at Clothes on Film. As usual click the image to take you to the article.

The Joes are back.

After the Pakastani President is assassinated, insurgents seize the country’s nuclear arsenal and the Joes are sent in to retrieve the codes. After Duke, Roadblock and the Joes are ambushed by Cobra forces, retaliation is set in motion. In director Jon M. Chu’s 3D sequel to the 2009 movie, the team has to take on the Cobra enemy forces and expose an imposter in the oval office.

While the Cobra Commander is set on becoming ruler over all the Earth while causing global destruction through with his “Zeus” weapon, G.I. Joe: Retaliation also focuses on the relationship between Snake Eyes and his arch-enemy Storm Shadow, who was presumed dead at the end of Rise Of Cobra. When we first meet Snake Eyes (Ray Park) again, he is on a search for peace within himself after retreating to the Arashikage to train with the Blind Master (RZA). Once there,...

In G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the G.I. Joe team is not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. The film stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson. G.I. Joe: Retaliation is directed by Jon M.

Last November, when Bryan Singer revealed that his costume designer from X-Men and X2 Louise Mingenbach would be returning to design costumes for X-Men: Days of Future Past, many fans jumped the gun and complained that the leather, black suits would be returning. However, Singer quickly clarified a few days later and simply stated that there would be no leather suits. The fear pendulum quickly swung to the opposite end and some took that to mean that there wouldn't be any costumes in the film. However, not too long ago product designer and comic book artist Jock revealed that he's working on the costume designs for the film. This tidbit went unreported as back in January, the artist also shared that he was working on the film alongside Lee Garbett. You can check out Jock's work Here. You can check out Lee's work Here.

As The Wolverine reaches the final stretch of principal photography, the next team-based X-Men franchise installment pushes forward in pre-production with director Bryan Singer now at the helm. Serving as both a sequel to X-Men: First Class and a bridge between it, the X-Men trilogy, and potentially the Wolverine solo films, X-Men: Days of Future Past is the most ambitious X-project to date.

Singer began using Twitter this month and is taking advantage of the social media platform to divulge tidbits of exciting information on Days of Future Past, from photos of meetings with the writer Simon Kinberg and returning costume designer Louise Mingenbach to more recently, major casting announcements.

After officially welcoming back returning stars James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult from X-Men: First Class, Bryan Singer added a major followup announcement:

As much as I enjoyed Byran Singer's X-Men films, I never really cared for the leather X-Men suits that he used. The director is re-teaming with his costume designer from his first movies, Louise Mingenbach, for X-Men: Days of Future Past, but thankfully we won't be seeing those leather suits in it. Singer tweeted the following...

I appreciate that. It will be cool to see what the new suits do end up looking like. I loved the designs from X-Men: First Class, so hopefully they end up being some kind of cool updated version of those. Brightly colored spandex anyone?...

Before Marvel Studios existed as an independent studio, and before Sony even began the Spider-Man franchise, there was one movie which kickstarted the genre, proving to the world that comic book movies with superheroes (in costume) could dominate the box office: X-Men.

Since the debut of Bryan Singer’s story about mutants back in 2000, the X-Men film franchise has continued on with the release of four additional films, and two more in development, beginning with The Wolverine next July, and X-Men: Days of Future Past the following year. Bryan Singer has just officially stepped in as director of Days of Future Past and he’s bringing with him costume designer Louise Mingenbach.

My "X-Men" costume panic attack earlier this week appears to have been over nothing. Yes, director Bryan Singer and original "X-Men" costume designer Louise Mingenbach are reuniting for the filmmaker's upcoming sequel, "Days of Future Past," but the suits of old won't be coming with them.

"For those of you wondering," Singer tweeted on Wednesday, "no leather suits."

That's a big relief to hear. As I wrote earlier in the week, the leather suits worked fine at the time of those first two "X-Men" movies, but by today's standards, they're incredibly dated. When Batman can have a functional cowl, when Captain America can have a traditional costume that doesn't look ridiculous, there's no reason that full-on Cyclops and Wolverine costumes shouldn't be possible on the big screen.

There's no guarantee that we'll see anything that more closely resembles the comics in "Days of Future Past," no, but the lack of...

It really is a case of "out with the old and in with the old" in the "X-Men" movie universe, as the costume designer behind the first two X-films (as well as "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), Louise Mingenbach, is coming back for Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

So... am I the only one feeling a little bit worried?

Look, I'm as excited as anyone to see the old gang getting back together — especially if that means returns from Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen and the like. But black leather is not on the list of things I miss about the old "X-Men" movies.

Take a look at the costumes of old…

…versus the costumes of "First Class," designed by Sammy Sheldon.

The blue-and-gold uniforms of "First Class" aren't perfect, but they're closer to what we're used to in the "X-Men" comic books. Beyond that, the black leather of "X-Men" movies past just looks dated.

This week:

Hulu will begin offering series from CBS’ back library; another Daniel Wilson novel is being developed for the big screen; Rachel Weisz, Robert Pattinson, and Viggo Mortensen have signed on for David Cronenberg’s next film; a teaser trailer has been released for The Europa Report; Dark Knight Rises writer David Goyer has signed on to produce a new project; X-Men and X2 costume designer Louise Mingenbach will return for Days of Future Past.

Early last week, Hulu and CBS announced a partnership that would offer many of the network’s content on the streaming service.

X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer has just revealed via his Twitter account that he is set to reunite with costume designer Louise Mingenbach on the highly anticipated sequel to Matthew Vaughn's critically acclaimed X-Men: First Class. It's hard to say whether or not this is good news, especially when it seems that the majority of fans hated the generic black leather costumes which, to the chagrin of many readers, were later used in Grant Morrison's New X-Men run (before Joss Whedon gave the mutants back their costumes in Astonishing X-Men).

Costume design in comedy film is a delicate balancing act between straight and farcical. How far can an outfit go before a gag is too conspicuous? Floppy hats? Clown shoes? For Due Date, costume designer Louise Mingenbach worked closely with Zach Galifianakis to create his character’s look. Immature and unaware, yet still believable; Ethan Tremblay is the archetype of comic dress up.

Speaking exclusively to Clothes on Film, Louise explains her costume choices for the movie, how to keep a joke from becoming tired and the process of designer/actor collaboration:

Ethan’s costume is manifest in two stages, when he swaps out a plain grey t-shirt for a coral ‘Lilith Fair’ long sleeve t-shirt in the story’s second act. The Lilith Fair shirt tells us...

A few days back, Warner Bros. released the first official image and synopsis from The Hangover Part II – Todd Philips’ follow up to his own mega success comedy. You have no doubt read/seen both by now, but we do have a little something to add…

Clothes on Film recently had a quick chat with costume designer Louise Mingenbach as she was shooting The Hangover: Part II in Thailand. According to Louise, a safari suit with sandals and socks were exactly what she considered Zach Galifianakis’ character, well intentioned man-child Alan, would deem appropriate for a trip to southeast Asia (note too the Louis Vuitton luggage). Moreover we have plenty of exciting and hilarious costume choices to come. Adds Louise:

Moxy Creative has designed an extraordinary collection of movie posters based on iconic male costume. Whet your appetite here then pop over to EveryGuyed to view the rest.

They are all superb, but our personal favourite is this one for Dumb and Dumber (1994). A vastly overlooked film in terms of costume design; Mary Zophres’ barmy formal attire for Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) is hilarious.

This poster uses just a pair of plain black Derby shoes – an obvious nod to Verbal Kint’s (Kevin Spacey) costume as created by Louise Mingenbach for The Usual Suspects (1995). With one shoe cocked to the side, nothing more is needed to recognise a criminal mastermind.

Far more to see at EveryGuyed, including sartorially re-imagined designs for Shaun of the Dead, The Shining and – striped braces at the ready – Wall Street. Illustration credits go to James Alexander Mathers and Andrew Lau.

Since 19th July, The London Film Museum has been running an exhibition of props and costumes from 20th Century Fox movies to celebrate the studio’s 75th anniversary. Clothes on Film decided to make a visit, a bit late in the day, but we had a good look round anyway.

There were not that many costumes in the Fox exhibition (certainly considering the history of the studio), but the museum itself has plenty more to see. Just to be in the same room as some of these memorable outfits is a thrill, especially from more recent movies where memories are fresh. With this is mind, here is our pick of Fox’s lot and the best the museum has to offer:

Australia (2008):

One thing about Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, regardless of the quality of the film itself, is that the World War II era costumes are dazzling . This red...

Being as she is an extremely nice person, costume designer for The Hangover (2009), Louise Mingenbach, has answered more of your questions about who wears what in the movie. So with some help from her assistant designer Alison McCosh, here we go with the answers…

Clothes on Film: Where were Heather Graham’s costumes and sunglasses purchased?

Louise Mingenbach: I think most everything was bought and fitted in La before we left for Las Vegas, except the stripper’s costumes were purchased in Vegas. Her sunglasses were vintage too from a great store here in La. God, I can picture it…but what’s the name..? I don’t think I can come up with it on the fly. Sorry.

Cof: Can you recall the brand of sneakers Zach Galifianakis wears for his ‘Vegas outfit’?

Alison McCosh: I remember Zach’s sneakers being from the costume house. No label that I remember,...

Yesterday came the yearly announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it extended 134 invitations to several artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures" read the press release. Of course all of them can decline, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen as all who accept the invitation will be the only additions in 2009 to the Academy's roster of voting members. "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks." The list follows below and reading around the best analysis I saw of it came from Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience who, among other things, pointed out the addition of longtime Darren Aronofsky's...

On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued invitations to 134 members of the film community to join the group. There were a maximum of 166 open slots to fill this year, but the various branch committees endorsed fewer candidates than were proposed to them.

Hugh Jackman, who hosted the most recent Oscar show, has been invited to join. So have Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, James Franco and Michelle Williams. The list even includes a number of comic performers like Michael Cera, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd.

Voting membership in the organization has held steady at just under 6,000 members since 2003.

New members will be welcomed into the Academy at an invitation-only reception at the Academy's Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study in Beverly Hills in September.

"These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," Academy president Sid Ganis. Said. "It's...
