From Director to Producer Warner Bros. Columbus said he “could barely speak” and felt “emotionally and physically exhausted” after “Chamber of Secrets.” He told THR: “I wasn’t seeing my kids, who were young at the time, growing up. I was missing dinners with them. I thought, ‘I can’t do another six, seven, eight years of this. My kids will grow up and I’ll never get to know them.” Alfonso Cuarón took over as director of the third film, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” while Columbus happily transitioned into the role of a producer....

How Brad Bird Almost Helming ‘Star Wars’ Resulted In Colin Trevorrow Directing ‘Jurassic World’ By Peter Sciretta/April 28, 2015 9:00 am EST Many people have wondered how Colin Trevorrow ended up directing Jurassic World. I loved his indie dramedy Safety Not Guaranteed when I saw it at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival (you can read my Sundance review here) but even I didn’t expect that film to launch his career as the director of a mega sequel/reboot the size of Jurassic World....

Olaf Presents Trailer: The Frozen Snowman Retells Disney Classics Disney+ By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 15, 2021 8:22 am EST Do you want to watch a snowman? “Olaf Presents” is betting that you do. If you live in a place that gets snow, maybe you’re used to building snowmen, or singing along with songs about building them like the appropriately titled “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” But if you’re here reading this, then it must mean you have some interest in watching more of the irrepressible snowman from “Frozen” and “Frozen 2,” voiced by Josh Gad....

A guest from a faraway kingdom… Disney The scene in question, which you can see screencapped above, takes place in the first act of the movie. Anna is prancing around outside singing “For the First Time in Forever” as the palace prepares to open its doors for Elsa’s coronation. Among other things, she interacts with several visiting royals and commoners — and apparently, Tangled’s Rapunzel and Flynn are among them. There’s also word that The Princess and the Frog’s Tiana makes an appearance, though her cameo has not been verified....

T.J. Miller’s ‘Ready Player One’ Character Is Basically Boba Fett By Jack Giroux/May 16, 2017 3:30 pm EST Steven Spielberg is a T.J. Miller fan, as he should be.

After that comedy, Spielberg decided to bring Miller into the OASIS for Ready Player One....

Mary of Scotland RKO Looking back, Katharine Hepburn may not have been the obvious choice to play Mary, Queen of Scots in “Mary of Scotland.” Although she’s certainly Hollywood royalty, Hepburn has a very distinctive New England accent that doesn’t exactly make her fit in amongst the heather of the Scottish Highlands. But while she’s not able to disappear into the role, Hepburn’s interpretation of the tragic Scottish queen is nonetheless fascinating....

The First Cast Announcements, But Not the Last Disney Deadline broke the news about Harrison Jr. and Pierre’s casting, but said that “additional casting is in process.” We know little about the storyline of the prequel other than it will give us Mufasa’s origin story and “explore the mythology” of other characters. That’s pretty vague, but given the fact that Jenkins decided to come on board the Disney project in part because he loved the script, that gives me confidence it will be a compelling story....

This Week In Trailers: Percy Vs Goliath, American Oz, A.rtificial I.mmortality, Together Together, Moby Doc By Christopher Stipp/April 4, 2021 9:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

She even ends the trailer by using a car to electrocute a man in the groin....
