Tim Robbins is shutting down any “deranged” comparisons between his 1992 film “Bob Roberts” and the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Conspiracies surfaced on social media after Thomas Matthew Crooks killed a Trump rallygoer and tried to assassinate the former president, injuring two others in the crowd as well. Robbins weighed in after one theory claimed the shooting was arranged by convicted felon Trump to boost his campaign for re-election, much like the plot of Robbins’ political drama “Bob Roberts.”
“To anyone drawing a parallel between my film ‘Bob Roberts’ and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life,” Robbins wrote. “Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks.

Tim Robbins is strongly condemning conspiracy theorists attempting to link his 1992 political drama Bob Roberts to the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.
Robbins wrote, directed and starred in the film, which chronicles the rise of a populist conservative politician running for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania. In the film, the fictional Roberts stages being shot by an assassin, and surviving, in order to boost public support and win the election. Some on X (formerly Twitter) have suggested that Trump similarly staged Saturday’s assassination attempt in order to boost his poll numbers, just like in the film Bob Roberts.
Robbins — a longtime progressive activist and no fan of Trump — stated on X: “To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life. Those that are...

Actor-director Tim Robbins is calling out the conspiracy theories following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, including that it was a staged event akin to a plot point in his 1992 movie Bob Roberts.
Robbins wrote on X/Twitter, “To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear.

Actress and lifestyle blogger Eva Amurri, daughter of Susan Sarandon, has responded to critics of her wedding dress, defending her choice of a strapless gown with a plunging neckline.
Amurri, 39, married chef Ian Hock on June 29 in New York’s Hudson Valley. The intimate ceremony, attended by about 40 guests, including Sarandon and her former partner Tim Robbins, took place at Windrift Hall despite rainy weather.
Following the nuptials, Amurri shared photos on Instagram showcasing her Kim Kassas-designed dress, which featured a corset-style bodice. Some followers expressed disapproval of the revealing nature of the gown, prompting Amurri to address the criticism directly.
“To anyone scandalized by my breasts not being ‘put away,'” Amurri wrote on her Instagram Story, accompanying a close-up image of her dress’s neckline. She invited critics to “screenshot this for later,” indicating her unapologetic stance on her fashion choice.

Who says 1994 was a classic year for cinema? Netflix begins today to make that argument, curating a release of 17 films that turned 30 this year. The streamer has its list below. I have mine, and with the exception of the seminal Farrelly Brothers-directed Dumb & Dumber with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, and Luc Besson’s Leon: The Professional, the film that stars Jean Reno and a sinister Gary Oldman and introduced the world to the outsized talent Natalie Portman, and maybe Ron Howard’s The Paper, there’s a lot missing. How about Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, The Lion King, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Clear and Present Danger, Sicario, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Interview With the Vampire, Speed, Ed Wood, and the other two films in a starmaking year for Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask.

For those of us who have been here for a decade or two, it’s remarkable to consider both how much and how little the city of Los Angeles has changed over the years. There are still plenty of the old landmarks—the Hollywood Sign, Pink’s Hot Dogs, that dude who rollerblades around is white robes and plays guitar on the Venice boardwalk—while other, seemingly indestructible, institutions have tragically bitten the dust.
So! With local issues perpetually at the forefront of our mind this week, here now are ten films that remind us of life in Los Angeles during a very particular and only recently bygone era: the ’90s and early 2000s. These films are honest portrayals of what livin’ la vida loca LA-style is all about, whether they’re a glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the realities of showbiz or struggles within SoCal’s toughest ‘hoods.

We’re getting a look at some of the first footage for Season 2 of both Severance and Silo. It was released today at the 2024 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as part of a “Coming to Apple TV+” teaser video.
The video opens with the return of Adam Scott’s Mark Scout to Lumen Industries. Director and executive producer Ben Stiller took to Instagram in January to confirm that the Apple TV+ drama series had returned to production after a months-long delay due to the Hollywood strikes.
From creator and writer Dan Erickson and Stiller, Severance stars Scott as Mark Scout, who leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to...

The detective genre is by far considered to be one of the most captivating out there, and it doesn’t matter which tropes are used in films: it’s always thrilling to see the drama behind the controversial crimes committed.
There’s also a huge variety of ways to keep the story interesting: you can go with a whodunit plot twist, or on the contrary, focus on the main character trying to solve the mystery while the viewers already know all the answers.
Sometimes, though, the answers are unclear even after the movie ends, like it was in Zodiac, the movie which many consider one of the bests in the genre.
Is Zodiac Really the Best Detective? Reddit Begs to Differ
However, there is another movie that Reddit believes is the absolute best, and it’s Clint Eastwood’s 2003 detective crime drama called Mystic River. The 89%-rated film was even an Academy Award nominee.

For over half a century, Clint Eastwood has been one of the world’s greatest movie stars. Comfortable in both westerns and contemporary roles, his measured growl of a voice has been a key part in creating such iconic characters as The Man With No Name and Dirty Harry. This photo gallery ranks his best films as a director.
Eastwood made his first foray into directing in 1971 with the thriller “Play Misty For Me,” earning him a newfound critical respect for his clear directorial skills. And over 35 films later, Eastwood has become one of the most acclaimed filmmakers working today. Of his 11 Oscar nominations, four have been for Best Director with two wins (1992’s “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby” in 2004). He also won producing Oscars for the same two movies.

And over 35 films later, Eastwood has become one of the most acclaimed filmmakers working today. Of his 11 Oscar nominations, four have been for Best Director with two wins (1992’s “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby” in 2004). He also won producing Oscars for the same two movies. He has received seven Golden Globe nominations for directing, winning three times. His peers in the Directors Guild of America...

Clint Eastwood, the actor-turned-director and producer, has had one of the longest and most varied careers of anyone working in the entertainment world. In addition to his film work he has also amassed an impressive resume as a musician and composer and even served as the mayor of the California town Carmel-by-the-Sea during the 1980s.
Eastwood began his film career in westerns and later also found success in crime dramas. He was mostly known for his striking good looks and stoic demeanor though and was not really considered a serious or talented actor. He would slowly work to change that fact and would eventually receive two Oscar nominations for his acting, both as Best Actor for “Unforgiven” in 1992 and “Million Dollar Baby” in 2004. While he didn’t win either of those acting awards, he would win two Oscars for each of those films as Best Director and as a producer...

When Andy Dufresne crawled to freedom through “five hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness” in The Shawshank Redemption, it was the ultimate act of hope. As the story’s tagline has it, “Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.”
As the movie turns 30, one small Midwestern town is throwing a celebration this summer — call it a big thank-you. Because filming took place over the summer of 1993 at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield (population 47,000), a onetime manufacturing boomtown in north central Ohio, fans continue to flock from all over the world, eager to tour the former prison, which opened in 2019 as a museum.
Like the town, and like Andy, the movie itself went through a rough patch. Upon release in 1994, Shawshank was initially a box office flop. Seven Academy Award nominations, including best picture and best adapted screenplay, gave it a seal of approval. But then, steadily, by word-of-mouth,...

Morgan Freeman’s presence in movies usually attracts audience, but even his charisma and soothing voice could not save his 1998 action thriller film, Hard Rain. Directed by cinematographer-turned-director Mikael Salomon, the movie emerged as the biggest flop of that year.

On a more interesting note, fans who have seen the film were so angry they demanded to change the ending. They did not want the legendary icon’s character to die so the studio decided to do a reshoot.

Morgan Freeman revealed the most frustrating moment of his career and it also happened to be his career’s biggest regret. Freeman’s career took off with his Oscar-winning film Driving Miss Daisy. Before the role happened, Freeman wanted to play one particular character in a book-based movie and approached Miloš Forman, the director, to convince him to cast him.

On a recent episode of Jeopardy!, Grant DeYoung was looking for his third straight win. However, his two challengers left a little to be desired. In the final round, only one was left and his answer caused Ken Jennings to get short with him as DeYoung won again.
Here is the final Jeopardy! question and why Jennings was frustrated by this moment in the show.
Ken Jennings Short After Bad Jeopardy! Answers
By the time the Final Jeopardy! rolled around, only two competitors remained. The third, Rachel Shelton, had $0 heading into the finals, so she had to leave the game at that point. This means that Grant DeYoung was trying to win his third game in a row against Nick Coombs.
Jennings had already expressed disappointment when Rachel Shelton bet it all on the Daily Double. She went all-in with $7,000 and then missed the question. Ken seemed sad to see her fall,...

Sometimes it’s tough to classify a movie in terms of the genres, as it may blend a number of various elements and stylistics. The 90s obscure movie that has recently been recalled by Redditors is a perfect example of a multi-genre gem.
Even though this film is attributed to the genre of horrors, it’s also much of a mystery thriller and, what’s most interesting, of a war drama about post-traumatic stress disorder. It’ll be of great interest for the most curious cinephiles and horror lovers.
Its plot revolves around Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran, who returns home and tries to continue his usual life, as if the war has never happened. However, he gets plagued by terrifying hallucinations, fragmentary visions and flashbacks from Vietnam.
Jacob’s world starts to gradually fall apart, with people and objects of the real world around him morphing with hallucinatory glimpses...

It has been three decades since The Shawshank Redemption was released, yet the movie remains one of the best movies of all time. A timeless classic, the film starred Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in the lead and is based on a Stephen King novel of similar name.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
While throughout the movie, those who have read King’s book, will understand how perfectly the story was adapted by director Frank Darabont, King’s name is largely missing from the credits. A small ‘Thank You’ does appear at the end, but there is no mention of the novel’s name. This lack of connection was apparently a marketing tactic, that continues to hurt even after all this time.

The Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont opened up about meeting fantastic people in a callous industry like the film industry during a 2014 interview. He hated that the tabloids painted a bad picture of an actor like Tom Cruise without getting the full picture of how he is in real life. Darabont shared that people should ask his good friend Simon Pegg about the kind of human the Mission: Impossible actor was.

At some point in our lives, each of us has been exposed to the idea of how much harm corporations can do. Of course, it is too naive to divide the world into clear-cut 'black' and 'white' as it is often portrayed in pop culture, but in the case of multinational corporations, history shows that all of this is far more than essentialist hyperbole.
Corporations, sometimes no less powerful and capitalized than some states, have shown their true colors time and time again, cynically seeking profit at any cost. Even if the price is the health and life of their own customers.
That's why feature films about corporations based on real events have a special value. Yes, sometimes documentaries reveal a much more objective view of the terrible truth, but let's be honest, the format of feature films allows to convey these or those ideas to the viewer much more effectively,...

Dive right in, because this film has been available since the first of the month, and it's certified fresh, with an Rt score of 89% from critics and 95% from fans.
Based on true events and featuring an all-star cast including Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins, Dark Waters follows a corporate lawyer who risks everything to take down the giant corporation he once worked to protect. The film is based on true events in many ways, but delivers a gripping story that follows the decades-long contamination of a small town's water supply and the efforts to cover it up.

As much as we adore our short kings, the world absolutely loves a tall man. Sure, they’re probably sick of being asked, “How’s the weather up there?” but they always come in handy when you need something off the top shelf.

Kevin Costner was on a roll with his baseball-based movies in the 1980s & ’90s, starting with the 1988 film Bull Durham. The film featured Costner in the role of veteran catcher ‘Crash’ Davis, who is brought in to teach rookie pitcher Nuke, played by Tim Robbins. The film was a critical and commercial success, but it was also a topic of discussion among some online fans for one scene in the film. It is rumored that Costner made a young bat boy cry during the film.

Last year, the whole world was amazed by the storyline of Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, a legal drama about a writer trying to prove innocence in her husband's death. It demonstrated the potential toxicity of not only the failed relationship, but the world around us, when people get blamed for crimes even when there’s not enough proof.
There is a 2019 movie of the same genre, telling a similar story, but on much a larger scale. Its plot revolves around Robert Bilott, the real-life environmental attorney, known for the lawsuits against the chemical company DuPont after they contaminated the whole town in West Virginia with unregulated chemicals.
This premise seems to be boring enough to put you asleep with a bunch of pretentious speeches about the need to defend our ecology. However, this drama is not only going to keep you awake, but closely follow the DuPont case.

The Shawshank Redemption is one of the movies that truly stood the test of time. This 1994 crime thriller helmed by Frank Darabont is based on the story of renowned horror writer Stephen King. It is also considered a sleeper hit as it initially bombed at the box office before becoming a cult-classic favorite.

Zack Norman, a veteran character and producer who appeared in films including Romancing The Stone, Cadillac Man and several for director Harry Jaglom along with guested on The Nanny, The A-Team, Baywatch and other series, died April 28 of natural causes. He was 83.
His son-in-law Jeff Briller confirmed the news to Deadline.

He performed as a comedian through the latter half of the 1960s and working the Playboy Clubs, the Flamingo and Copacabana with the Temptations. He made his TV debut in 1969 doing stand-up on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Right from the get-go, Stranger Things captivated its audience entirely. Much like Vecna, the series has enchanted its fans, ensuring they return whenever they are in need of some spine-tingling entertainment. The sci-fi horror drama is nearing its conclusion, with the highly anticipated fifth and final season set to debut on Netflix next year.

And if the reports are true, Stranger Things season 5 is bringing a renowned filmmaker out of “retirement” – Frank Darabont. If you didn’t already know, the man is responsible for helming one of the finest films in Hollywood, The Shawshank Redemption. Having him direct a few episodes of Stranger Things would be a move in the show’s favor. However, his fans don’t seem too excited about this alleged job.

Frank Darabont's 1994 prison drama "The Shawshank Redemption" wasn't a big hit when it was released in theaters, earning only $16 million on a $25 million budget. Good reviews didn't help, although the film garnered a lot of attention when it was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor (for Morgan Freeman), but it lost in every category. That was the year of "Pulp Fiction" and "Forrest Gump," so a film like "Shawshank" was the outlier. Thanks to its nominations, however, the film was re-released in 1995, bolstering its box office. "Shawshank" also became one of the most-rented VHS cassettes of its day, eventually turning it into a well-regarded classic in its own right. By the late 1990s, it began appearing on lists of the best films of all time. To this day, "The Shawshank Redemption" sits at the very top of IMDb's top 250, right above...

The Shawshank Redemption has often been considered to be one of the greatest films ever made. The film was based on a novel by Stephen King and starred Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in the lead roles. While the film has been a cult classic since its release, its director Frank Darabont has reportedly been blacklisted by the TV and film industries.
Darabont was reportedly instrumental in the success of the AMC series The Walking Dead, for which he was a director, executive producer, and developer. However, the filmmaker was reportedly fired before the production of season two, leading him to sue AMC. Now, Darabont is all set to make a comeback with Netflix’s Stranger Things.

The Shawshank Redemption is effortlessly one of the most magnificent pieces of work ever created in the history of cinema. Starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in the lead as Andy Dufresne and Ellis Boyd Redding, the film is widely considered a true masterpiece by critics and general audiences. However, even this masterpiece had a seeming plothole that puzzled a lot of fans.

Well, at least that’s what Freeman liked to call the scene during the end of the movie in a recent interview at the TCM Classic Film Festival, where the movie celebrated 30 years of existence. But according to Robbins, what his co-star claims to be a plothole isn’t really a plothole, but rather, an extraordinarily simple thing that makes even calling it a “plothole” sound incredibly dumb!

Tim Robbins has been a prominent actor in the industry ever since his impressive films in the 90s. His incredible performances in Jacob’s Ladder and The Shawshank Redemption made him a household name. He went on to earn an Oscar for his heartbreaking performance in 2003’s Mystic River.

Robbins made a surprising entry into the superhero world with the 1986 film Howard the Duck. The film was a colossal flop at the time of release and was not received well. However, Robbins is not against returning for a proper modern revival of the character, but he wants it to have a different tone than the over-the-top nature of the 1986 film.

Morgan Freeman is a veteran actor known around the world for portraying roles in several iconic movies like The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight trilogy, and Se7en. Being an actor of color, Freeman has often talked about racism in the world.
Wanting people to live in harmony, Freeman once appeared in a 2005 interview and shut down racist comments with just five words. Explaining the unnecessary racist comments, Morgan Freeman truly stood for the people suffering from racism!

Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Supporting Actor, take a tour of our photo gallery showcasing the men most likely to land in the lineup. Last year’s race was completely dominated by actors from “Succession” and “The White Lotus,” neither of which can produce nominees this time since the former ended last May and the latter won’t return until 2025.
Naturally, this category’s sole presently eligible former winner – Billy Crudup – has emerged as the frontrunner. Among his likeliest competitors are two of his own cast mates: 2020 nominee Mark Duplass and series newcomer Jon Hamm, who won the 2015 Best Drama Actor Emmy for “Mad Men” and is widely expected to take this year’s limited series lead prize for “Fargo.”
Other outside winners in the mix include James Cromwell (“Sugar”; formerly of “American Horror Story”), Nathan Lane (“The Gilded Age”; “Only Murders in the Building”), and...

The Shawshank Redemption director, Frank Darabont, bought the rights to Stephen King’s Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption for $5000 in 1987. It was technically their second collaboration after Darabont adapted King’s The Woman in the Room into a short film. Interestingly, King did not see the vision of the director with the film, as the author felt that his 96-page novella was not a cinematic work like Carrie or The Shining.

However, King was proved wrong as Darabont created one of the most critically acclaimed movies ever. King did see his vision eventually as he assured the director of one scene in the climax that concerned him.

Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins’ The Shawshank Redemption is undoubtedly one of the best films released in 1994, the same year when Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump were released. While the latter two managed to nab some Oscars, The Shawshank Redemption shockingly went empty-handed, but, it hasn’t undermined its reputation of being one of the best films of that decade.

The inspiring and heartwarming prison drama told the story of one man’s resilience and eventual freedom from being put into prison despite claims of innocence. The ending of the film saw the emotional reunion of Freeman and Robbins’ characters. It seems the original treatment of the film was slightly different, one which Freeman was vehemently against.

Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption has become a timeless masterpiece of cinema that has continued to resonate with the audience as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. While the makers or the cast of the film may not have foreseen such a prospect for the movie at the time, especially when it failed at the box office, it overcame everyone’s expectations to become one of the most beloved movies of all time.

How often do we stumble upon a blockbuster flick that doesn’t quite get its due roses when it comes to the box office? Some films become instant classics, drawing audiences from every corner and grossing millions of dollars at the box office. However, there are some hidden gems that may not have received the recognition they deserve, despite their indescribable brilliance. One such film is The Shawshank Redemption, which starred Tim Robbins in the leading role.
The 1994 film, helmed by Frank Darabont (The Green Mile and The Mist), has endured the test of time and remains an unlikely classic. Despite receiving critical acclaim and seven Oscar nominations, The Shawshank Redemption did not perform well at the box office.

Andy Dufresne wrote “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies,” in a letter to Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding in The Shawshank Redemption, and hence, the film is still talked about today! Being a testament to the statements, The Shawshank Redemption is one of the most iconic films ever made in the world and is surely a must-see.

Tim Robbins, who portrayed the lead role of Andy Dufresne also seems to agree and revealed that the film was about a true and deep friendship that lasted a lifetime.

Upon its 1994 release, Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption disappointed at the box office. Despite garnering critical acclaim and earning seven Oscar nominations at the 67th Academy Awards, the film fell short commercially, grossing only $18 million against a $25 million budget.

However, after getting praised by the Academy and receiving seven nominations, the film was re-released and reportedly earned an additional $10 million in revenue. Beyond its theatrical resurgence, it also gained significant traction among audiences, becoming the most rented movie of 1995.
It has since become one of the most beloved films of all time. And while it failed to make it big at the box office initially, the cast of the film has continued to benefit from residual earnings, with Bob Gunton even ensuring that his daughter will receive checks for years to come.

Morgan Freeman is often regarded as one of the best actors in Hollywood. Given his years of experience and performance, the actor has starred in a plethora of movies that have won a handful of awards. But among all, the particular film that stood out is the 1994 classic The Shawshank Redemption.
