The pee breaks began taking so long that it was slowing down filming so a compromise was made for him to use a wheelchair. “Yeah. Because I think that what Jared thinks, what Jared believes, is that somehow the pain of those movements, even when he was playing normal Michael Morbius, he needed, because he’s been having this pain his whole life. Even though, as he’s alive and strong, it has to be a difference.

Peter (og Jeremy): Pixar Maestro Andrew Stanton Wrote An Episode Of Obi-Wan Kenobi  Peter (og Danielle): Bruce Willis Is Retiring From Acting Following Aphasia Diagnosis  uh · fay · zhee · uh LA Times ArticleIn interviews with The Times this month, nearly two dozen people who were on set with the actor expressed concern about Willis’ well-being. These individuals questioned whether the actor was fully aware of his surroundings on set, where he was often paid $2 million for two days of work.  Filmmakers described heart-wrenching scenes as the beloved “Pulp Fiction” star grappled with his loss of mental acuity and an inability to remember his dialogue. An actor who traveled with Willis would feed the star his lines through an earpiece, known in the industry as an “earwig,” according to several sources. Most action scenes, particularly those that involved choreographed gunfire, were filmed using a body double as a substitute for Willis. He appeared in 22 movies over the last 4 years Mike Burnes, director of Out Of Death, was tasked with compressing all of Willis’ scenes — about 25 pages of dialogue — into one day of filming assistant-turned-handler Stephen J.

Do you think it’s Tom Holland’s Spider-Man? Do you think it’s either Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire? Do you think Sony would recast the role again so soon? Could Espinosa have meant “spider-person” instead of Spider-Man, given the upcoming Silk movie? Will Miles Morales be introduced in live-action before or after the completion of the Spider-Verse movies? More broadly, what do you think about the future of Spider-Man in the MCU after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home? Do you think Spider-Man will factor into the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, given that film was originally going to come out before No Way Home? Will Tom Holland continue on as Spider-Man in a new trilogy now that the Uncharted franchise is a success for Sony? Will Zendaya and Jacob Batalon return?   Also mentioned:      All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.
