a belated Happy Birthday to Casper

Twenty years of age, and he hasn't aged a day (in my opinion): Amblin Entertainment's Casper, The friendly Ghost went on general release on May 26 1995.

Casper, The friendly Ghost marked the first time a Computer Generated Character was one of the main characters in a film.

Even though the film grossed over $100 million in the US (and almost $290 million world-wide) it wasn't considered a success (it cost $50 million to make).

Amblin however did have the script ready for a sequel, but due to conflicting schedules of the various stars, this sequel was never produced. (Though Fox Entertainment did produce two live-action, straight-to-video features, based on characters from the Casper series)

Amblin Television (in cooperation with Harvey Entertainment and the Universal Cartoon Studios) decided to go for an animated TV-series, which ran for 4 seasons.

But despite all of this: Happy Birthday (cast and crew of) Casper.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
