Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling are one giggly pair.
Ford, 75, and Gosling, 36, struggled to contain their laughter during an appearance on the UK talk show This Morning. The two laughed their way through the interview while talking about their upcoming film Blade Runner 2049.
The fun started after host Alison Hammond admitted that she’d “never seen” the original 1982 film.
“I appreciate your candor,” Gosling said as he burst into laughter.
Once the interview was officially ready to start, Gosling cracked open a miniature bottle of whiskey and poured it into his cup.

Fox’s time-travel comedy Making History hops across centuries to show us the highlights of American history, but a word of warning: If you actually learn anything, that’s purely by accident.

He has a secret life, though: Using a duffel bag he found among his dead father’s belongings, he’s able to time-travel to any era he chooses.

It's hard to believe but the popular film Jerry Maguire has hit the two-decade mark after originally premiering on Dec. 6, 1996 (yes, we're feeling pretty old, too). It's officially been 20 years since Cuba Gooding, Jr. yelled, "Show me the money!" and Renée Zellweger told Tom Cruise, "You had me at hello," through teary eyes—a scene that's caused us to reach for the tissues time and time again. Other mega stars like Regina King and Jerry O'Connell also made their appearances in the '90s flick, and thus, the anniversary has us wondering one thing: Where is the whole cast now?

James Corden and Tom Cruise lit up the small screen by reenacting every iconic scene from Cruise’s lengthy big screen career on Wednesday’s “Late Late Show.” They kicked things off strong with a scene from “Top Gun,” followed shortly by Corden taking over for Dustin Hoffman in “Rain Man.” The pair then ably made their way through the “Mission Impossible” franchise, then transitioned to “Jerry Maguire,” but Cuba Gooding Jr. had to make a special guest appearance in order to effectively recreate the infamous “Show me the money!” scene.

On the 20th anniversary of the film starring Tom Cruise, the director publishes the exhaustive 5,000-word mission statement he wrote for his crisis-hit sports agent
Jerry Maguire’s mission statement? For those who have not seen the film in a while, the memory of that could be a little sketchy. Surely Jerry’s mission statement is the movie’s own legendary mission statement. And in fact Hollywood’s mission statement, summarised by the four brash words that sports agent Tom Cruise is forced to shout by his mercurial, recalcitrant client, the football star played by Cuba Gooding Jr. Show me the money!
Don’t bullshit me with the earnings I could possibly earn in the future, make it happen right now, or I move to another agent … Maybe Cameron Crowe, the writer-director of Jerry Maguire once said it to his own agent. Or maybe his agent said it to him,...

Manuel here. In a lot of people’s minds, a great screenplay requires at least one quotable line. Look no further than the poster for the 2006 awards which celebrated great lines from Academy Award winning films. Lines like "Rosebud", "Show me the money!" and "I coulda been a contender" — or more recently, "You know what's cooler than a million dollars?" and "Argofuckyourself" — immediately remind you of the film's in question, functioning as helpful shorthand. A good line is sometimes all you need. And so, since we know Tfe readers love themselves a list, we had to rank the 10 films nominated for screenplay categories in order of quotability:
10. Ex Machina
Is there such a thing as "visually" quotable? Because that's certainly the case here.
9. Bridge of Spies
The one truly iconic catchphrase in these screenplays but otherwise, not much else, no?
8. Brooklyn
News of that TV spinoff means more vintage banter!

Even a five-country co-production such as The Lobster isn’t the logistical nightmare you’d imagine, producer Ed Guiney of Element Pictures told the Screen Film Summit during today’s Show Me The Money! panel.
Even with four producers, five co-producers and four executive producers, adding up to 18+ sources of finance, without including Eurimages, Guiney says there weren’t too many cooks in the kitchen.
“We developed it and it was clear we were the lead producer, everyone respects that. You set out to support that lead producer to get on with their film. Lots of credits doesn’t have to mean too many voices in the room. And with so many financiers, no one has enough money to jump up and down and impose their will.
“The spirit of European co-production most of the time is congenial and mutually respectable,” he continued. “The ethos of it isn’t to have lots of voices in the room...

Jonathan Lipnicki, who got his start as the precocious kid in "Jerry Maguire," hasn't forgotten his roots ... because Hollywood won't let him! As part of Screen Junkies' "Dads of Our Lives" series, the now-24-year-old star pokes fun at his child star past while paying tribute to his TV dad, Tom Cruise. "I'm here to thank you, Jerry Maguire, for everything you did for me - from drunkenly brooding on my mom's couch having a nervous breakdown to dropping completely unnecessary f-bombs when I wanted to go to the zoo," he says in the clip below. "Sure, you were probably experiencing an episode of clinical mania, but hey, it was never a dull moment." Lipnicki goes on to explain how hard it is to only be remembered for his role in the movie. "How could one child be so ludicrously, almost illegally adorable? And who could forget those glasses, am I right?...

Read More: Here's the Trailer For Cameron Crowe's 'Aloha' Cameron Crowe used to make good movies. His tender character studies took life's fleeting, seemingly insignificant moments and made them profound — not to mention iconic. Let us count the ways: John Cusack hoisting the boombox above his head to the tune of "In Your Eyes"; the flurry of quotable lines from "Jerry Maguire" that have entered pop culture lexicon ("Show me the money," "You complete me," "You had me at hello"); the nostalgia for the halcyon days of rock 'n' roll in "Almost Famous," arguably his best work. Fourteen years later comes the achingly bad "Aloha," in which Crowe seems to have expunged all evidence of his distinctive filmmaking talents. Equally hobbled by an amateurish script and vaguely defined characters, the movie's long list of mediocrities have an anonymous quality, as though the director has been completely reborn as a.

The Third Annual First Time Fest took place over the past weekend in New York City, from March 5th to March 9th. The festival, which celebrates first time filmmakers, had numerous panels that discussed topics such as financing films to getting the right marketing for the film to even talks from established filmmakers sharing their advice. The festival concluded with the honoring of Harvey Weinstein, as a tribute for “his support of first time filmmakers.”
A purely New York City centric film festival, the festival’s founders of Johanna Bennett and Mandy Ward chose to show the films at the Core Club, the Village East Cinema, and the Wild Project, while the discussions and panels were featured at the B Bar and Grill. The festival allows for a five day competition among films that were completed by first time filmmakers for the chance to win international sales and theatrical distribution.

Getting paid is the top concern for indie filmmakers who responded to the 2015 Independent Film Survey, released Tuesday by the Writers Guild of America East.
More than 60 of the 100 respondents said they have had problems receiving initial compensation and or backend payments on a film.
And while the majority had a producer credit on at least one of their own productions, less than a third of those paid themselves any sort of compensation. That furthers the notion that payment for filmmakers is not a “normal” expense in an independent film’s budget, several pointed out.

Spoiler alert, but Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) was, in fact, not my favorite film of the year. I figured I should just get that out of the way at the start for those of you who feared I might have the same #1 film as Brad and Mike, both of whom listed Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's latest as their favorite film from 2014. Don't get me wrong, I really liked Birdman, but in a surprise to even myself, it didn't make my list, which I think you can pretty much chalk up to the surprisingly good year 2014 wound up being. I was certainly among the scoffers last fall about it being a bit of down year, and just a month or so ago I was of the opinion 2014 offered a lot of films to like, but very few to love. After going through and finalizing my list, I'd like to retract that statement.

A quarter-century ago, Kevin Costner hit a double-play, following up "Bull Durham" with "Field of Dreams" and becoming king of the sports movie. Twenty-five years later, as "Field of Dreams" marks its 25th anniversary (it was released on April 21, 1989), Costner is back with "Draft Day." The movie's about football, not baseball, and Costner's character plays in the executive suite, not on the field, but his mere presence still offers a reminder of great sports movies past.
And after all, isn't nostalgia a key element of sports movies? "Field of Dreams" makes this explicit -- we long for the sports heroes of our childhood, for a supposed long-gone golden age of our preferred sport, as a way of connecting with our past and bridging the generational divide that separates us as adults from our parents. Sports movies offer more than just the drama of winners and losers, or the journey from dream to achievement,...

Plus, Aria falls deeper under Ezra’s control! Will he find a way to turn her against the girls?
Determined to prove Ezra’s (Ian Harding) connection to “A,” Spencer (Troian Bellisario) spent the Feb. 4 episode of Pretty Little Liars compiling a collection of damning evidence and planning to tell Aria (Lucy Hale) the truth. Unfortunately, no one was really in the mood to listen to the insane rantings of a pill-popping lunatic who looks like she hasn’t slept in 25 years.
It’s a shame, too, because Spencer was dead-on — about everything. She even figured out that Ezra was watching her from a distance, which is why she and Hanna (Ashley Benson) decided not to break into his apartment, after all.
I guess sometimes you can be too smart for your own good.

The crowd funding of creative projects in Australia is growing rapidly although the average per-person contribution is relatively small.
The Australian crowd funding platform Pozible is facilitating investment of $1.2 million per month into creative projects, according to co-founder Alan Crabbe.
.We.re seeing phenomenal growth,. Crabbe told the panel Show Me the Money- The Art of Film Financing, at the Australian Directors Guild conference. He said film is the No. 1 category and he estimated the platform has triggered $3 million for features since it launched in 2010. The average sum invested is $6,000.
Asked why Pozible insists that funding targets are reached for each project before the money flows to the producers, Crabbe said, .Supporters don.t tend to like the flexible model. The all-or-nothing model is much more credible and successful..

Show me the money... The first trailer for comedy thriller Dom Hemingway has landed, featuring a slightly chubby Jude Law as a gangster not to be trifled with. The story centres on the titular Hemingway (Law), a London gangster recently released from prison who dedicates his time to getting his hands on the money he believes he's owed from the heist that got him locked up.

If you learn anything today, have it be that "Machete don't tweet." Good thing he does a lot of other stuff in the trailer for Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills. He wields a machete, catches knives, and, well, kills. He also takes an order from President Charlie "Carlos Estevez" Sheen to take down Mel Gibson. Gibson's henchmen include Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Sofia Vergara. Though Cuba is actually just Lady Gaga in a mask, which maybe has always been the case: "Show me the money, Judas Maguire."...

Does "Untitled Cameron Crowe Project" have a cute cast ... or the cutest cast ever?
"To the Wonder" cutie Rachel McAdams is officially in talks to join fellow cuties Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone in the "We Bought a Zoo" filmmaker's cute new project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Crowe's new film was first announced last July when Emma Stone was cast and has since been confirmed to be a project that the writer-director has been trying to get made for several years. Formerly titled "Deep Tiki," the story follows a military contractor (Cooper) who's assigned to a top-secret military satellite launch in Hawaii and gets involved with an uptight military liaison (Stone) and local spiritual leaders who are preparing for the fulfillment of a prophecy involving the gods Lomo and Pele.
Awesome.

“This is our house!” “This is our time!” “It all comes down to this.” They’re phrases we’ve all heard before, and they’re phrases we’ve come to expect from sports movies and television shows, along with an epic training sequence and at least one injured player. But every now and then, a sports production steps up its game with a speech that makes us cheer and, at least briefly, want to get off the couch and do something athletic.

New Orleans -- Misdemeanor battery charges related to a bar dust-up in New Orleans' French Quarter have been officially dropped against Academy Award-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr.
City spokesman Ryan Berni said an arraignment hearing was held Friday but there was no one to press the complaint. As a result, he said, the city moved to drop the charges.
"This ends the case," Berni said.
Police say the bartender told them that Gooding became upset after patrons started asking him to pose for photos with them at about 3 a.m. The bartender told investigators that Gooding pushed her after she asked him to calm down and again after she told him he should leave and that police had been called.
Gooding won the 1997 Academy Award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of a fictional pro football player in "Jerry Maguire" starring Tom Cruise. In the film, he says the now-familiar line to his agent,...

The star of "Crazy Stupid Love" is making a movie with the director of "Say Anything"? Well, we've been overdue for a new rom-com classic.
Deadline reports that Emma Stone is accepting her fate and joining forces with Cameron Crowe for a currently untitled project that really couldn't end up as anything but awesome.
The film is being described as being in the same vein as "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire," though The Playlist thinks it might be a remix of "Deep Tiki," a project that Crowe was attached to back in 2008 and which was originally set to star Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon.
"Deep Tiki" follows a military contractor (the part Stiller would've played) who's assigned to a top-secret military satellite launch in Hawaii and who gets involved with an uptight military liaison (the part Witherspoon would've played - and that will perhaps now be played by Stone?) and...

Once upon a time, Cameron Crowe made perky but punchy pop-literate movies such as Say Anything and Singles which married a rebelliously youthful sensibility with a surprisingly mature tang of melancholia. In the mid-90s he hit the big time with the Oscar-feted Jerry Maguire which gave us two of the period's defining movie catchphrases ("Show me the money" and "You had me at Hello"), and cemented his success with the semi-autobiographical Almost Famous, earning an Academy award for a script which revisited his former days working for Rolling Stone magazine.
And then, like the sudden onset of middle-age spread or male-pattern baldness, the wheels came off Crowe's credibility, with Elizabethtown leaving former fans wondering how someone with such a rock'n'roll past (he penned sleevenotes for Led Zeppelin as a nipper) could have made something so vomit-inducingly maudlin, mawkish and just plain misjudged.

Jason Mountney goes on the set of Channel Nine’s talent search series, The Voice, to see how the format, based on an international franchise, has come together. What ingredients have gone into making this certified hit that’s rated more than two million viewers on three consecutive nights?
Mike Goldman has one of the toughest jobs on the set of the Nine network’s new talent show, The Voice. He not only has to narrate the show, but also keep the audience from losing their enthusiasm as they realise shooting TV programs takes a lot longer than the one-hour bursts they see in their lounge rooms. A lot longer.
An ecstatic audience in the background is just one piece of the puzzle Nine and production company Shine are using to elevate the talent show to the much-vaunted “water-cooler TV” status that brings big advertising bucks and gets viewers to stick around.

Working with, and learning from, other established actors has proved useful for Cuba Gooding Jr.
The "Jerry Maguire" Oscar winner makes a rare television appearance Sunday, April 22, in ABC's fact-inspired new Hallmark Hall of Fame drama "Firelight."
In playing Dwayne "DJ" Johnson, a counselor at a correctional facility for young women, Gooding is teamed with a number of actresses just starting to make names for themselves ... a situation he says he knew how to handle from his experiences with such stars as Laurence Fishburne (in "Boyz N the Hood"), Dustin Hoffman ("Outbreak") and "Jerry Maguire" himself, Tom Cruise.
"They are real artists, and they allow you to create without stifling your creativity," Gooding tells Zap2it. "That was the main lesson I took from them. Making 'Outbreak' with Dustin and Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey, we really kind of sang when we were on the set together. It...

"You had me at hello."
"Show me the money!"
Since they were featured in 1996 in "Jerry Maguire," these two lines have become widely popular, and may end up being remembered long after the Cameron Crowe film is forgotten.
But their fame wasn't inevitable. A new study by computer science graduate students at Cornell University shows how many ways Crowe, the screenwriter, could have gone wrong.
He could have phrased actress Renee Zellwegger's heartwarming declaration of love, "When you said hello to me, I thought, 'I will take that man back.'" Or, "I forgave you at the moment when you said 'hello' to me." He could have written Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Oscar-winning exclamation as, "I've been hoping that when you negotiate my salary, you work hard to make sure I get paid more." Or "I'd like more money."
Each conveys basically the same meaning as the original. The...

Cuba Gooding Jr. recalls the night he won his Oscar as "transformative."
Fifteen years ago, the performer who added "Show me the money!" to the list of legendary movie lines gave an acceptance speech with all the energy of his "Jerry Maguire" character -- Rod Tidwell, the arrogant football player steered toward bigger bucks by the title sports agent (Tom Cruise) -- when he accepted his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1996 comedy-drama.
"I look back at it in the obvious, positive way," Gooding tells Zap2it, "with all the prestige and the opportunity that came with it, but also in a negative way. Before that, I was never asked, 'What do you want to do?' It was always like, 'Here's your assignment.' I'd started in theater, doing 'L'il Abner' in the morning and 'Twelfth Night' at night.

It’s after midnight on a Thursday evening in Sydney’s Cbd. The streets are largely deserted as the final day of the working week looms. While the nine to five set are safely tucked up in bed, in the heart of the city, Seven’s Martin Place studio is quiet, although never sleeping. Several journalists staff the newsroom on the first level and one flight of stairs above, two producers work the overnight shift for Seven’s market-leading breakfast program, Sunrise. Soon they will be joined by line producer David ‘Dougie’ Walters who is about to begin his day.
At a time when hospitality workers and university students contemplate calling it a night, Walters is at his desk.

Cuba Gooding Jr. took home the gold at the 1997 Oscars for his portrayal as the brash, catchphrase spinning football star, Rod Tidwell. But now Gooding revealed that his father that may have actually said the most memorable line, behind the scenes.
The "Red Tails" actor told Graham Norton that he "almost fainted" during his father's visit to the set of "Jerry Maguire" when he asked Tom Cruise if he was gay.
"He gave Tom Cruise a hug and said, 'I love you man. Now seriously, are you gay or not?'" Gooding recalled, saying that Cruise played it cool; laughing off the interaction, he said no.
Gooding told Norton the comment led him to ban his father from future set visits. (No kidding.)
Also -- just in case you run into Gooding at a bar -- he is not terribly fond of the movie's actual catch-phrase, "Show me the money!
