David Duchovny says he feels like he “discovered” Angelina Jolie, his Playing God co-star.
The X-Files alum recently revealed in a new interview that he was part of the casting for the 1997 film directed by Andy Wilson.
“I feel like I discovered Angelina Jolie,” Duchovny said on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy when asked what he thought about his former co-stars.
Host Andy Cohen asked Duchovny to explain, with the actor saying, “Yeah, cause I was casting, I was part of the casting. I didn’t discover her, but… she came in, and I just knew she was a movie star, and I told everybody [that] we’ve gotta cast her.”
The Touchstone Pictures film written by Mark Haskell Smith revolved around “a disgraced surgeon [who] leaves his former life and reinvents himself as a gunshot doctor in the criminal underworld.” According to IMDb, the film’s casting directors were Elaine J. Huzzar and Johanna Ray.

Although Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland are loved as the web-slingers in their own respective places, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man was just a bit different. Maybe it was his physique or just his impeccable performance in the role, but what can’t be denied is just how distinctive his version of Peter Parker was — something that further made fans yearn for his unmade third installment.

That being said, the third installment in his film series would have unarguably further explained the greatest mystery related to his friendly neighborhood superhero. But since the film never came to be, fans thought it better to ask Garfield to unwind that mystery. However, as surprising as it may be, it turns out that even the 40-year-old actor is as much in the dark about this as everyone else!

The remake of the 1994 movie, The Crow starring Bill Skarsgård is garnering major attention. While there’s still time for the movie to arrive on the big screen, original film director, Alex Proyas has recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming reboot which is far from positive.

If you're an Og comic book fan and one of the lucky people born in the 1900s, you likely remember the frenzy revolving around the '94 film adaptation of the comic book The Crow, starring Brandon Lee.
While the original filming remains shrouded in the tragedy of the on-site death of the lead actor, that hasn't stopped movie makers from taking a stab at yet another version here in 2024.
The Crow is receiving a 2000s remake with a new face behind the supernatural being and an extended plotline suited to the current century. Here's everything we know about the 2024 version of The Crow.
Why Is The Crow Movie Being Remade?
The Crow franchise was heavily targeted in the '90s with several storylines that feature the Crow symbol.
The original '94 film garnered a lot of attention after the lead actor, Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee), tragically died on set during filming.

Yesterday, we saw the first images of what Bill Skarsgard of the It films is going to look like as goth rocker Eric Draven in director Rupert Sanders’ (Snow White and the Huntsman) remake of the 1994 classic The Crow (watch it Here). There weren’t a lot of positive reactions, with many fans comparing Skarsgard’s look – which Sanders said was a mixture of his own look in the ’90s, “when we were squat-raving in London,” with modern influences like Post Malone and Lil Peep – to Jared Leto’s poorly-received version of The Joker in Suicide Squad. One person who took to social media to blast the look of the new Eric Draven was Alex Proyas, who directed the ’94 version of The Crow.
Sharing one of the images, Proyas said, “Eric Draven’s having a bad hair day. Next reboot thanks.” In the comments, he continued to mock the look:...

We recently heard that Lionsgate has picked up the distribution rights to the reboot of the classic film The Crow (get it Here), which was released by Miramax back in 1994. Before Miramax acquired it, The Crow had originally been set up at Paramount. They decided to let go of it due to the controversy surrounding the on-set death of star Brandon Lee and the amount of violence in the film. So when Paramount acquired Miramax back in 2020, gaining the rights to The Crow in the process, it was like the film had gone full circle. It came back to Paramount. Recently, cinematographer Dariusz Wolski, mentioned a 4K restoration of The Crow would be on the Paramount Plus streaming service soon. While it hasn’t hit streaming yet, Blu-Ray.com announced that the 4K Blu-ray is set to come out on May 7th to mark the film’s 30th anniversary.

On the evening of July 23, 1982, “Animal House” director John Landis was filming a tricky nighttime helicopter scene for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” The wide-open spaces of Indian Dunes, now part of Santa Clarita, Calif., were standing in for Vietnam, and the scene called for soldiers in a helicopter to pursue actor Vic Morrow, who was carrying two children. When the copter made a turn just above a large mortar round, the special effect explosive detonated, bringing down the helicopter and killing Morrow along with 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen.
The devastating accident shook Hollywood, and several months later, Variety announced that “Landis, pilot, others face ‘Twilight’ accident charges.” Landis and other “Twilight Zone” movie crew members were charged with involuntary manslaughter — the same charges “Rust” actor and producer Alec Baldwin and “Midnight Rider” director Randall Miller faced for their roles in on-set deaths.

Get your eyeliner out and throw on your favorite Cure album, because it's looking like the seemingly-cursed remake of "The Crow" is actually going to be released. That's because Deadline reports that a new financier, Ashland Hill Media Finance, has boarded the project to help assist with post-production on the Rupert Sanders-directed film.
Sure, the news of a new financier might not mean much, but the fact that "The Crow" has entered post-production absolutely does. While the dark comic adaptation has had previous installments released, they have been relegated to direct-to-video and forgotten about on television. However, plans for a major theatrical reboot have been in the works since 2008. Since then, the project has flown through actors and directors, the most recent being Jason Momoa and Corin Hardy. Needless to say, when news of yet another attempt at the project broke earlier this year, many were skeptical that it...

Many fans of “The Crow” have had mixed opinions about the upcoming reboot of the original film tentatively titled “The Crow Reborn”. Some feel that the studio should just leave well enough alone, while others are incredibly excited to see what can be done to bring this iconic character back to life.
The upcoming reboot is said to begin filming in February of 2018 after the project was resurrected by Sony Pictures after it was dropped by Relativity Media back in early 2017. It has all but been completely confirmed that Jason Momoa will be taking on the role of the title character Eric Draven and that author James O’Barr who created the original “The Crow” comic book series will most definitely be heavily involved.
There has been some that are criticizing Momoa as the choice to play Draven, as many feel that it would be impossible for anyone to possibly...

[To get you into the spooky spirit, the Daily Dead team is spotlighting double features that we think would be fun to watch this Halloween season. Check here for more double feature recommendations and other Halloween 2017 coverage.]
In horror movies, things usually go so very wrong on October 31st when it comes to the Halloween-themed offerings of the genre. But what about the night before? October 30th, or “Devil’s Night”, can also bring about its own horrific consequences, which is the theme I went with when it came time to put together my double feature of Alex Proyas’ The Crow and Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses. Both are coincidentally feature film debuts for each director, they feature killer soundtracks, and this pair of films is also centered around a storyline where the characters will never be the same after their experiences on the night before Halloween.
Based on the comic by James O'Barr, The Crow finds aspiring rock star Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) rising from the grave a year after his death to take revenge on the four thugs (David Patrick Kelly, Angel David,...

Michael Massee, an actor whose growling voice and intimidating mien made him one of Hollywood’s go-to portrayers of villains, murderers, and serial killers, has died. According to Variety, Massee was 61.
Appearing in everything from Criminal Minds to Rizzoli & Isles, to memorable cameos in the Amazing Spider-Man movies and a lead role on the first season of 24, Massee was an expert at projecting unwholesome and predatory intent. Whether he was playing 24’s darkly comic Ira Gaines, trading quips and bullets with Jack Bauer, or the satanic villain on NBC’s mid-2000s miniseries, Revelations, Massee captured the reptilian glee of pure evil with a commitment and relish matched by few character actors of his generation.
Unfortunately, Massee will most likely go down in history not for his skill as a performer, but for his involvement in a famous on-set tragedy. While co-starring as Funboy in the 1993 ...

Michael Massee, who died Wednesday at the age of 61, is unfairly known as the man who killed Brandon Lee on the set of the 1994 film, “The Crow.” According to the New York Times, Lee was 28 years old when a prop gun was improperly prepared and discharged at him from 20 feet away, firing a bullet into his stomach. He died after several hours of surgery on March 31, 1993. The gun was supposed to fire a blank cartridge. Bob Rosen, the executive producer of the movie, told the Times that when the blank is fired, a “piece of soft wadding normally comes out of the.

Rest in peace, Michael Massee.
Although he had a long and fruitful career in both movies and television, the beginning was enough to send a lesser man running for the exit.
Massee's second credited role was as Funboy in the feature film The Crow opposite Brandon Lee.
It was into his hands the fateful, improperly loaded gun was put, out of which a live round was shot directly into Lee's stomach.
Lee died later that day in the hospital after an unsuccessful surgery.
If all had gone well, the shot would have turned Lee's character into The Crow, and perhaps another type of movie history would have been made. It just wasn't meant to be.
Massee did take some time off from acting after the incident, and he never did see the completed film. He later admitted in a 2005 interview that he still suffered from nightmares over the incident, as...

He was 61. The news was first announced by French actor Anthony Delon, Massee’s fellow cast member on the 2014 French series Interventions.

Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn served as the main antagonist in 2002’s Spider-Man, but when Chris Cooper’s version of the character was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, he didn’t get nearly as much screen time as his predecessor. After giving one final "pep talk" to his son Harry, he passed away from his mysterious illness, and Harry became the Green Goblin instead. However, when set pictures of Norman’s frozen head showed up, it hinted the series wasn’t quite done with him, and it turns out there was an epic deleted scene that was definitely meant to set up his return. Chris Cooper informed Comic Book Resources that he was "guaranteed" a bigger role in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, and the scrapped post-credits scene with Norman’s head (as well as Michael Massee’s mysterious Gentleman) ...

We know Sony has been working on an "Amazing Spider-Man" spin-off film featuring the "Sinister Six," a kind of 'Avengers' of villains from the Spider-Man comics.
During the end credits for this year's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," we also saw sketches that seemed to reveal who these bad guy are - Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter and... it's unsure. The last one on the list was a mask which lead to suggestions it could be either Mysterio or Chameleon.
Now, word comes of a new video featurette on the bonus disc of the Target-exclusive Blu-ray release of the film. In said clip, Webb confirms Kraven and Mysterio are a part of The Sinister Six line-up.
Webb also confirms there was a deleted scene where The Gentleman, a.k.a. Gustav Fiers (Michael Massee) visits the cryogenically frozen head of Norman Osborne (Chris Cooper). "The Sinister Six...

When the end credits rolled on The Amazing Spider-Man nearly every one's mind flashed to where the hell Norman Osborn, who as alter ego the Green Goblin (already portrayed by Willem DeFoe) is probably the most important Spider-Man villain ever, was. O.K., he was mentioned, and people speculated that the mysterious man, played by Michael Massee (best known as Funboy in The Crow), featured in the post credits scene was in fact Osborn. It turns out we were wrong, as Chris Cooper (who stole the show as Tex 'maniacal laugh' Richman in The Muppets) has just been announced to stepping into the no doubt expensive shoes of Norman Osborn for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. There is no word on whether Cooper will don the Green Goblin mask, but with Norman's son, Harry (played by Dane DeHaan), also making an appearance, there is no doubt their dangerous family legacy will be addressed.

Following studio confirmation earlier today that Jamie Foxx will be playing Electro in Marc Webb's upcoming sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man comes, via Et , details from the actor himself about the role. "[He's a] genius electrician-type person," Foxx says, "and he gets the short end of the stick from the whole world... [T]he next thing you know, he turns it on." Though the character of Electro has never definitively appeared on the big screen, some fan speculation has suggested that the mysterious figure (played by Michael Massee) featured in The Amazing Spider-Man 's end credits was, in fact, our first look at the character.

With director Marc Webb and star Andrew Garfield back for Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Emma Stone in discussions about returning as Gwen Stacy, other pieces are beginning to fall into place.
Variety is reporting that The Descendants actress Shailene Woodley (right) is in "early talks" to play Mary Jane Watson and that the studio is looking for an actor to play Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend and eventual enemy. Kirsten Dunst and James Franco filled those roles in the earlier trilogy.
It's also rumoured that Electro is one of the villains the filmmakers are considering. In the comics, Max Dillon takes that name after he is struck by lightning and gains the ability to control electricity.

Sony is also seeking an actor to play Harry Osborn, the friend and eventual enemy of Peter Parker played by James Franco in the original trilogy.

This is surprising news. With Marc Webb back in the director's seat for The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, Sony Pictures are preparing the casting process for the film (which will begin production early next year). According to Variety, Shailene Woodley (who previously starred in The Descendants) is in early talks to play none other than Mary Jane Watson. The character, who is the most well known love interest of Peter Parker, was played by Kirsten Dunst in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Woodley is said to be the studio's leading choice for the coveted role. Sony are also looking for an actor to play Harry Osborn (previously played by James Franco), Parker's best friend. Additionally, the rumored villain for the currently untitled sequel is Electro.

Beware of spoilers ahead as we dissect that much-discussed mid-credits scene in this week’s hottest release, The Amazing Spider-Man.
Over at Ain’t It Cool, an interview with Dr. Connors himself, Rhys Ifans, points to a few interesting details about the scene, especially as most all of the Internet was already adamant that the shadowy figure in Connors’ institution cell was the future Green Goblin himself, Norman Osborn.
Swatting down all manner of web speculation in one fell swoop, Ifans confirms that the man in the shadows, played by Michael Massee, was in fact not Osborn, but rather a character familiar to us who is in some capacity involved with Oscorp. Whether he is himself the planned villain for Spidey’s next outing or merely a conduit for something more sinister is anyone’s guess.

Well, the following excerpt from an interview with Rhys Ifans over at Ain't It Cool News certainly makes This editorial (written by yours truly) a little pointless, eh? The Welsh actor has confirmed that the "Man in the Shadows" played by Michael Massee was in fact Not Norman Osborn. However, he goes on to hint that it is instead an established character of some sort involved with Oscorp who Might end up being the villain in the planned sequel currently being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Okay, what do you think about that ending? Well, Connors is basically locked up in a very high-security mental institution. We were debating whether it was a prison or a mental institute. It's not a zoo. [laughs] I kept seeing it as maybe a mixture of both. Then a representative from OsCorp appears miraculously in the room. How he gets in there and how he leaves,...

Who was that in the mid-credits scene of The Amazing Spider-Man? Well, in case you didn't recognise the voice or checked out the cast list on IMDb immediately after seeing the film, it was actually actor Michael Massee (credited only as "Man in the Shadows"). He's best known for playing small screen baddies in the likes of 24, Flashforward and Supernatural. He even has prior experience with the Marvel Universe, having voicied Bruce Banner in both Ultimate Avengers animated movies. Most of you will have probably seen the film by now, but here's a reminder of how the mid-credits scene plays out. As Curt Connors is led into a jail cell, lightening strikes and a mysterious figure appears... Man in the Shadows: Hello doctor. Did you tell the boy? Curt Connors: Tell him what?

Every sunset is just the prologue to another sunrise, and every superhero movie is just the prologue to another post-credits scene featuring a first look at a potential sequel villain. And so, the angsty web-swinging reboot The Amazing Spider-Man concludes with a brief tease for the already-in-development Amazing sequel. As far as post-credits scenes go, Amazing wins points for pure non sequitur obscurity. Very little is revealed, although much is teased. Let’s unpack it a little bit, shall we? (Spoilers from here.)
The scene begins with the captured Dr. Curt Connors being locked away in a prison cell. Lightning strikes.

I have some hope for a Shawn Levy comedy. Odd, I know, but all we’ve heard about his next behind-the-camera effort, The Internship, makes the thing sound wholly tolerable — even if it’s mostly due to the presence of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. But there’s more reason to be optimistic, since Variety has pegged Max Minghella (The Social Network) as being in early talks; Tiya Sircar (Friends with Benefits), Josh Brener, and unknown Tobit Raphael have already signed.
The Vaughn-scripted film revolves around two middle-aged company employees (he and Wilson) who, after being laid off, start working for an up-and-coming website. While, overall, a good job, the presence of “wily, fresh-faced 22 year olds” creates some office tension; Minghella fits in as “a ruthlessly competitive intern” with the drive to play dirty in order to get ahead. Sircar and Brener will be seen as other employees, with the...
