Nolan: "He just showed up on set one day dressed as Yul Brynner, so we figured we might as well write him some stuff."

He also sometimes complains about a certain group of chosen people running Hollywood. Just a barrel of laughs that guy.

People are saying...

Don't forget Michael Keaton. He'll have the Weinsteins playing up the "You owe him one!" narrative pretty hard.

If these comments are anything to go by, then the internet is readying a Scorsese backlash for some damn reason.

When I first read about this, I assumed Roberts would be playing the woman who did the framing and thought it would be a really good role for her. Kind of surprised she'd prefer to play what (on paper at least) seems like the duller part.

I thought the explanation in the movie was that they were just government agents of some sort, interested in using the guy's power.

Well, we now definitely know what type of movie gets Brad's eye wandering.

Ah, the workaround. Figured you’d do something like this since Trotter basically said “Hey, what if we do this?” in the interview from yesterday.

I'm sure if Roman calls Lana a whore just a few more times he'll finally win the crowd over.

He did. Bernie tells Tom that in his final scene, but it's delivered in such a hilariously tossed-off way that many don't notice. It's like the Coens got to the end of the script before suddenly realizing they forgot to explain that part and quickly added a couple of lines.

That character type is kind of a through-line on all of Fontana's stuff (see also Bayliss & Beecher).

"Why did Mink shoot Rug anyway?"

Callie Thorne was the Leo replacement (season 6). Michael Michele didn't come until the final season.

Rather shrewd the way they dolled out those network concessions over a period of years though, giving up just enough to get a renewal. Of course it eventually undid show, but it also allowed them to get a few more great (or at least very good) seasons out of the deal.

According to IMDB, his final performances was an episode of Major Crimes. His final movie was Big Eyes.

Off topic, but fuck: Jon Polito died.

There were reports last year that the Library Of Congress had acquired the film (along with the rest of Lewis's stuff) but agreed not to show it to anybody while he was alive.

I suspect most of the musicians in the cast will just be playing songs on camera.

Just looked up that Sound And The Fury movie, and I don't think it ever even got released. It played a film festival and got picked up for a VOD release by some small distributor, but it doesn't look like it ever happened.
