In the vast realm of Hollywood, Steven Spielberg is an exemplary filmmaker who is never afraid to break the boundaries of conventional filmmaking. Using his singular talent, the director has crafted several impeccable features and movies that continue to resonate and entertain the masses. Yet, the director has had more than a few hit-and-misses and underrated films.
Amistad (1997) | DreamWorks Pictures
One of his movies, the 1997 Oscar-nominated classic Amistad not only made his family walk out of the film but also seems to have been released way too early. As per the lead, Djimon Hounsou, not only was the movie ahead of its time but the audience and critical reaction to him would have been way different today.

When it comes to novels being adapted into movies and television shows, Stephen King’s name stands on a throne for the gripping horror stories. Each and every book finds a place within the fans and their adaptations too get a twist like no other. Having seen so many different adaptations, there was one that he kept urging Warner Bros. Discovery to make but to no avail, Salem’s Lot.

While his own works keep getting adaptations, so much so that the year 2019 saw 4 of his books being adapted. Seeing so many of his own books getting adapted. There is one particular novel by another author that he wants none other than Taylor Sheridan to make. Interestingly enough, Blood Meridian was once almost adapted by Ridley Scott.

Of all the titles credited to Robert Downey Jr.’s name to date, perhaps the one that perfectly aligns with his real-life personality is that of Tony Stark in his Iron Man saga. But while that is still regarded as one of his best performances to date despite him last playing it almost half a decade ago, his iconic portrayal of the fan-favorite character wouldn’t have been possible due to one movie.

This one movie was none other than his 2005 masterpiece Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which pretty much brought his career back on track. But his success through the film wasn’t the only thing that made Downey Jr.’s superhero debut possible, because what seems to have further added to his star-studded portrayal of Stark must have been the genius performance by Val Kilmer in the 2005 film!

The eight-seasons-long Game of Thrones series is widely regarded as one of the most popular and successful novel-based adaptations of all time, with writer cum producer David Benioff credited as one of the show’s executive producers, showrunners, and writers. But while most of the saga was a masterpiece, they somehow managed to mess up the series finale, which didn’t sit well with fans.

That being said, infuriated fans still blame Benioff and D.B.

This was reflected during his time in Star Trek: Nemesis, which remains his first and only appearance in the franchise, as Hardy would spend most of his time in his trailer when the cameras were off.
As a result, his costar Patrick Stewart thought he might never hear of the Venom star again after Nemesis, as the actor hardly communicated with his costars on set.

Bruce Timm is widely regarded as one of the most important figures when it comes to the overall DC Animated franchise, and is the face behind several highly-praised projects. From his work on Batman, which includes Batman: The Animated Series, to the various iterations of Superman, and Justice League, the DC animated franchise would have looked starkly different had it not been for Timm.

However, even a creator as gifted and celebrated as Bruce Timm has his fair share of regrets, when it comes to his career. Speaking in an interview back in 2017, the 63-year-old had revealed how he regrets the fact that the 2008-released Justice League: Frontier did not get a second part.
This led to Timm and his team failing to inculcate the entire story from the DC comics, leading to them picking and choosing what they could include in New Frontier.

Of all the contenders to play James Bond next, many would argue that Tom Hardy is effortlessly one of the best choices ever. His wit, charming demeanor, and overall personality make him stand out among everyone else and seem like the perfect choice to embody the peerless spy. Plus, he’s British, so that checks out another box of requirements for the character.

However, even after all these similarities, one thing still stands in the way between everyone deeming him to be the perfect choice for this role. This one thing is his 12-year-old $156 million box office disaster with Chris Pine, This Means War, which featured him as a CIA agent but failed to garner many appraisals for Hardy in the role because of his lackluster performance.

If you’re a fan of the Mission: Impossible franchise, you owe a debt of gratitude to none other than Steven Spielberg. That’s right, the legendary filmmaker, 77, not only inspired Tom Cruise to offer the directing gig to Brian De Palma for the first film in the series, but he also played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of Cruise’s career.
Mission: Impossible, which was released in 1996, is one of Cruise’s most notable films. This marked not only his first work as a producer, but also his first serious attempt at a major franchise. But above all, it is an exceptional flick that set the standard for the greatest franchise that continues to this day.

From co-directing the pulse-pounding John Wick and seamlessly transitioning to headlining major projects like Deadpool 2, David Leitch’s trajectory in the film is nothing short of remarkable. Playing Brad Pitt’s stunt double in a number of movies, including Fight Club, Leitch began his career in Hollywood as a stunt and fight coordinator.
Needless to say, his enlightening journey with his producer wife, Kelly McCormick, is just as enchanting as the films they make. Not so recently, when the dynamic duo spilled the beans about the casting experience of Deadpool 2, including the role that Brad Pitt almost graced, we got a rare glimpse into the ‘what-ifs’.

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani asked the owner of a local radio station for more money and airtime several days before he was suspended for violating an on-air conduct policy.
This week, Wabc (770 Am) owner John Catsimatidis said Giuliani made the demand via text message on Tuesday, May 7, two days before Catsimatidis suspended him for making conspiratorial comments about the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election.
The comments violated an internal policy issued by Red Apple Media earlier this year and re-stated in writing last week by Catsimatidis himself, according to a statement sent to The Desk on Monday. The policy cautioned Giuliani and others from making unfounded claims about the 2020 Presidential election in on-air broadcasts.

In the world of comic book movies, there has never been a stranger relationship than the one between Jon Watts and Spider-Man. One of the most critically as well as commercially favored and strongest IPs of Marvel Comics, Spider-Man’s entry into the MCU was placed in the hands of a creator with the strangest IMDb credits under his directorial section.
Known for directing music videos, shorts, a claymation movie, and television series, Watts couldn’t have been placed at a more substantial position and with a more high-risk, high-reward IP than directing Spider-Man’s first debut under the Marvel banner after the controversial 12-year-long saga at Sony.

James Cameron is currently one of the highest-rated filmmakers in the entire entertainment industry, having helmed fan-favorite masterpieces like Titanic and 1986’s Aliens. But he wasn’t always this famous, nor were his outstanding directing skills garnering interest from audiences for at least a few years after he kicked off his directorial debut with Xenogenesis in 1978.

That said, besides The Terminator film series, what actually made him super famous in the industry was his brilliantly helmed Avatar saga, which quite literally surpassed the Star Wars lore by flying colors. But that wasn’t Cameron’s first attempt at outshining George Lucas’ universe, because the first attempt came nearly three decades earlier in 1980 through one of Cameron’s poorly-rated films.

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has lost his daily radio talk show after being suspended by the broadcaster over policy violations.
The suspension came after Giuliani received repeated warnings to not offer unsubstantiated views about the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election. Giuliani is one of several figures who painted the outcome of the election as fraudulent, and has been criminally charged in two states for allegedly helping then-incumbent Donald Trump overturn certain election results. Trump lost the election to then-Senator Joe Biden.
Giuliani’s show was one of several hosted by right-of-center personalities as part of a strategy to develop Wabc Radio into a conservative powerhouse under the guidance of the station’s current owner, Red Apple Media founder John Catsimatidis.
But Wabc is not an outlet where anything goes, Catsimatidis said...

Needless to say, his very charming personality and physical features are also the reason why a lot of the roles he has donned have been in rom-coms. But even through those rom-coms, Grant has displayed quite a bit of action.

However, one time, this display of action in a similar ruthless manner as Tom Cruise almost ended up killing him. This happened in the iconic film that set him up as the King of rom-coms and is still regarded as a masterpiece, Four Weddings and a Funeral. But that isn’t the only surprising fact, because Grant was actually never the first choice to play the protagonist in that movie!

The first and original Dune live-action movie from 1984, based on Frank Herbert’s novel series of the same name, may not have been as perfect of an adaptation as Denis Villeneuve’s, however, Kyle MacLachlan’s performance as Paul Atreides in it was nothing short of epic. This was perhaps because of his nerdiness and ever-lasting love for the superhit science fiction book series.
Dune (1984).
That being said, MacLachlan obviously had some advice for Timothée Chalamet as well, when he heard that the younger Hollywood heartthrob would be the one replacing him in the iconic role for Villeneueve’s reboot of the saga.

It would not be incorrect to say that George R.R. Martin’s criticisms of Game of Thrones gave rise to the ‘dragons’ in House of the Dragon.
When David Benioff & D. B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones first hit our screens, one of the most awe-inspiring elements was undoubtedly the dragons. These mythical creatures may have won the hearts and imaginations of many fans as we watched Daenerys Targaryen raise them from tiny hatchlings to massive, fire-breathing beasts.
However, it appears that Martin, the mastermind behind the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, regrets these things the most.

He had some valid reservations about the dragons’ portrayal in the original show, which he believed improved in the prequel series, House of the Dragon. According to Martin, Game of Thrones’ dragons lacked “personality” and were all too similar to one another.

David Benioff and D. B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones transcends boundaries as a beloved historical fantasy series. However, while captivating fans with a story based on uncertainty of life, ruthless wars, and politics, the HBO show unfortunately ended up failing to justify a few deaths that weren’t even a part of the original storyline crafted by George R.R. Martin.

One such death occurred when Daenerys Targaryen’s loyal bodyguard Ser Barristan Selmy was killed off midway through season 5. The character’s tragic death occurred during an ambush by the Sons of the Harpy, which left fans of George R.R. Martin’s novels scratching their heads since it was a major diversion from the source material.
