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.

On the April 1, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Ryan Scott to talk about the latest film and TV news, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Morbius and Bruce Willis.

In The News: Ryan: Morbius On Track For A $40 Million Opening Weekend At The Box OfficeMorbius Pulls in $5.7 Million at Box Office in Preview Screenings Peter (og Rafael): Obi-Wan Kenobi's First Two Episodes Will Premiere Later Than You Thought"Obi-Wan Kenobi" is no longer premiering on May 25. Instead, the show is set to premiere two days later on Friday, May 27. Star Wars Celebration is Thursday May 26 to Sunday May 29. Why the move? 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.

On the March 29, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman to talk about the latest film and TV news, including the future of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond. Opening Banter: In The News: Morbius Director Says Venom's Universe Has A Spider-Man (And We'll Meet Him 'Soon')Which Spider-Man do you think exists in Venom’s universe? 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?
