The one movie Michael Caine didn't want anyone to see

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Thu 29 May 2025 18:45, UK Any career that spans 70 years is guaranteed to include a few misses to go along with the hits, and Michael Caine has always been refreshingly honest about lending his legendary gravitas to a string of terrible movies, and he’s even got his excuses at the ready whenever they’re brought up. For every affront to the good name of cinema the two-time Academy Award winner has appeared in, he’s always had a good reason. Jaws: The Revenge? Money. The Swarm?
Paul Newman erased his most embarrassing role from memory

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 21:30, UK There was nowhere for Paul Newman to go but up after he started his silver screen career with the movie he would always hate the most, but The Silver Chalice wasn’t the only one of his credits the legendary actor despised with an intense and burning passion.
Kurt Russell's hatred of sex scenes cost him an iconic role

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 20:45, UK Sex has, does, and always will sell across all forms of media, but it’s not a requirement for an actor to get frisky on-camera. Sure, plenty of stars are happy to bare it all to the world throughout their careers, but Kurt Russell has never been one to indulge in filmic fornication just for the sake of it. Sometimes, a sex scene can feel gratuitous, exploitative, or shoehorned into a movie for no other reason than to try to titillate audiences.
The role Tom Hanks would love to reprise "again and again"

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 20:15, UK Like most A-list actors, Tom Hanks has starred in a few sequels. Boarding at least one recurring franchise is part and parcel of being among Hollywood’s biggest and most popular stars, but the two-time Academy Award winner has always harboured a deep-seated desire to reprise a role that, in all honesty, he’s got no chance of playing again.
Burt Reynolds named and shamed Hollywood's "biggest asshole"

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 17:15, UK Honesty is a quality that’s often in short supply in Hollywood, but it was never one Burt Reynolds was lacking. The actor was one of the industry’s most famously outspoken personalities, which did as much harm to his career as it did good. The moustachioed menace never shied away from criticising his own films or the people he made them with.
The hellish shoot that made Steven Spielberg lust for drugs

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 16:45, UK Even though he burst onto the scene during the ‘New Hollywood’ era when such practices weren’t only the norm but encouraged from peer-to-peer, Steven Spielberg abstained from the drug and alcohol-fueled excesses of the era that so many of his contemporaries revelled in. Whether it was actors, writers, directors, or producers, the 1970s were a hedonistic time in Hollywood where cocaine and champagne flowed like fine wine.
The 'Saving Private Ryan' star who ruined their only scene

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Wed 28 May 2025 15:15, UK The principal cast of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan might be restricted to the close-knit band of soldiers venturing behind enemy lines and the titular surviving sibling they’ve been dispatched to rescue, but the classic World War II epic is stealthily packed with a surprising array of recognisable names.
The producer who made an enemy of the Coen brothers

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Even though they’ve made films for major studios, the Coen brothers have always maintained the independent sensibility that’s defined their careers since the beginning, which made them an odd fit for working with one of Hollywood’s most ostentatious producers.
The movie Mel Gibson was banned from starring in

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Tue 27 May 2025 21:30, UK It might sound oxymoronic, but there’s a notable difference between being a busy actor and an employable one, as Mel Gibson has found out since hitting the self-destruct button on his mainstream career almost two decades ago. The two-time Academy Award winner is currently making more movies than at any point in his career, but who cares?
The only Oscar no one has ever been nominated for

1 week ago | faroutmagazine.co.uk | Scott Campbell

Tue 27 May 2025 20:30, UK At long last, the Academy has listened to reason and introduced an Oscar for ‘Achievement in Stunt Design’, which will be handed out for the first time at the 2028 edition of the Academy Awards and marks the second new prize in quick succession after next year’s debut of ‘Best Casting’.
