Columbia Pictures and George Gallo, who wrote the story that was developed into the 1995 action hit Bad Boys, have settled a lawsuit over the rights to the movie franchise.
Both sides, in a joint court filing on Friday, notified the court of a settlement. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Bad Boys, which marked Michael Bay’s first feature and starred Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, has spawned three sequels and a TV spinoff. A fourth installment to the franchise debuted last week to strong box office numbers.
Columbia Pictures argued in a lawsuit filed last year that Gallo can’t exploit a provision in copyright law that allows authors to claw back ownership of their works after a certain period of time. It asked the court for a declaration that Gallo penned the story as a work made-for-hire, which would make it ineligible for termination.

You can’t keep these fly boys down. After Miles Teller starred and flew alongside Tom Cruise in “Top Gun Maverick,” the actor is getting back in a Navy uniform for a remake of the 1982 romance “An Officer and a Gentleman.”
Teller will star in the remake of the Oscar-winning romance that originally starred Richard Gere, Debra Winger, and the late Louis Gossett Jr., an individual with knowledge of the project told IndieWire.
“An Officer and a Gentleman” told the story of a young man going through the Naval Academy to complete his training as an aviation officer, only to get caught up in the headwinds of a whirlwind romance from a girl on the wrong side of the tracks and a tough Gunnery sergeant.
Miles Teller…Navy aviation…where have we heard that before?
The remake will be a modern retelling of the story. Dana Fox (“27 Dresses”) wrote...

When Neil Jordan’s “Interview With the Vampire” film adaptation released in 1994, Tom Cruise was already a worldwide star. He had led the highly successful “Risky Business” and “Top Gun” and received an Oscar nomination for “Born on the Fourth of July.” But, not everyone was convinced he could play the titular vampire, Lestat de Lioncourt, and his casting caused a considerable amount of backlash among fans of Anne Rice’s original book.
In an excerpt from his new memoir published in The Telegraph, director Jordan reflected on his decision to cast Cruise opposite Brad Pitt and the outrage that followed, recalling how he originally offered the role to Daniel Day-Lewis.
“The problem was the casting of Lestat. Brad Pitt had agreed to play Louis and somehow assumed Daniel Day-Lewis would be playing Lestat, an assumption shared by Anne. I offered it to Daniel, who read it, and, as I expected,...

Val Kilmer’s time as the Dark Knight was a fleeting yet memorable era in Joel Schumacher’s helmed Batman Forever, co-starring with Tommy Lee Jones as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Jim Carrey as The Riddler, and Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian. Needless to say, this 1995 flick, under Tim Burton Productions, remains a unique imprint on the Batman anthology.
Why did Kilmer, though, quit the series after just one movie? Up until his statements were revealed in a lengthy 2020 New York Times interview, all we knew about him was that he wasn’t easy to work with. With authenticity and perhaps a touch of remorse, the actor contended with his reputation for being “difficult” to work with.

However, when discussing the shadow of other behind-the-scenes tensions, such as those between Jones and Carrey, it appears that Kilmer’s onset hiccups came in second place.

Just two years ago, Tom Cruise “saved the theaters” with his latest and greatest movie Top Gun: Maverick. Sorry, Mission: Impossible, but it’s true. It was 2022, the peak of the pandemic, and people didn’t go to movies — until Cruise put on the aviator’s uniform and took to the sky. Inspired by his example, folks took to theaters.
Today, theaters don’t need another saving as the previous summer proved, but fans are still eagerly awaiting Top Gun 3. What’s the status of Tom Cruise’s next epic?
Top Gun 3 Gets a Frustrating Update
Famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer has been working with Tom Cruise for ages, but it was their collaboration on Top Gun: Maverick that really stands out.
Understandably, Bruckheimer is going to be producing the much-anticipated Top Gun 3, as well… But when exactly that’s going to happen, he can’t even predict.

There have been several actors who have portrayed the hit DC hero, Batman, in different live-action projects. While some left an indelible mark on the character, others were not as well received. But Val Kilmer’s portrayal of the titular character is one of the most underrated portrayals of the Dark Knight.
Val Kilmer [PC: Top Gun | Paramount Pictures]Despite doing an amazing job, the Top Gun star left the character after just a single movie. Despite being slated to appear in another film, he states he left the film because of scheduling conflicts, although there have been several different versions of the story. But what really made him quit might have been an epiphany he had while meeting Warren Buffet.

Austin Butler insists that he is not aware of rumours linking him to a role in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' reboot.The 'Elvis' actor has been tipped as a potential star of the new chapter of the Disney franchise but says he is none the wiser about the talk – even though he is a massive fan of the films.Austin told Entertainment Tonight: "Oh really? I haven't heard about that, I loved 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Who knows? I haven't heard anything about that. "That just reminded me of when I was a kid. In elementary school, we had to make these posters that had your favourite music, your favourite actors. And at that time – third or fourth grade, I think – 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was on there."Butler admits that it would be difficult to emulate Johnny Depp's portrayal of...

When David Ellison’s Skydance made a play for Paramount last fall it was how and when (not if) Shari Redstone would tie the knot. Paramount and Skydance worked together. He valued the studio and its crown jewel of a backlot and planned to keep the company together. He was offering her a nice bundle of cash for her stake in National Amusements.
They talked, and talked, and talked. Potential suitor Warner Bros Discovery faded away, as did Byron Allen, who made an actual offer for the company. Par and Skydance entered an exclusive negotiating period for the month of April. When the lock-up ended with no deal, doubt crept in. Sony jumped into the mix. Yet the two sides continued talking intensely up through this past weekend.

Tom Cruise is a superstar when it comes to Hollywood. It’s not too much to say that any movie with him in it is bound to do well among audiences. Whether it is Top Gun, Mission Impossible, or any other movie he said yes to, they have done pretty well among critics as well as the box office, barring a few.

Before Marvel movies would fill slots on a schedule, Jerry Bruckheimer productions did, and still do.
Similar to 2003 when the blockbuster producer had Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Bad Boys II, Veronica Guerin and Kangaroo Jack on the calendar, Bruckheimer counts a four feature-spree this spring and summer with Lionsgate’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, his highest test movie ever in Disney’s Young Woman and the Sea, Netflix’s upcoming July event title Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and this last weekend’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die which revived a dull summer movie season with a $105M global opening, beating expectations and pulling in a diverse audience that was 70% combined for Black and Latino/Hispanic moviegoers. Through yesterday, Bad Boys: Ride or Die stands at $120M global.

Johnny Depp is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most transformative actors who is not afraid to experiment with his roles. The actor has played some of the wildest, unique, and wacky characters that audiences loved, cementing his status as a bankable movie star. His collaborations with director Tim Burton have resulted in some of the finest works of his career.

One of Depp’s best films is his first collaboration with Burton in 1990’s Edward Scissorhands. The film and Depp’s titular role made him a household name. However, he wasn’t the first choice for the role as many A-list stars were considered for it initially. Depp, being from the TV world, never thought he would get the part and almost didn’t go for a meeting with Burton.

One of Depp’s best films is his first collaboration with Burton in 1990’s Edward Scissorhands. The film and Depp’s titular role made him a household name. However, he wasn’t the first choice for the role as many A-list stars were considered for it initially. Depp, being from the TV world, never thought he would get the part and almost didn’t go for a meeting with Burton.

An acting career that has now spanned more than four decades has witnessed Tom Cruise start from humble roles, break through with Top Gun, and then go on to become one of the most bankable action stars in Hollywood.
Acclaimed for his daredevil spirit and taking big risks when it comes to performing stunts, the star has often delivered some of the most acclaimed and highest-grossing projects with one of his most recent ones, Mission: Impossible–Dead Reckoning Part One, being no exception.

Austin Butler may or may not plunge into the pirate-infested waters of Disney with this one.
Since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie – which was seven long years ago – there has been a volley of rumors about a potentially brand new Jack Sparrow in the franchise. Even now, while a sixth installment is in the works, Johnny Depp’s return as the iconic pirate remains a mystery.

Some movies and actors stick with you through the decades, leaving you with random moments of nostalgia that can occur at any time.
While the '80s have different levels of fame, perhaps the greatest gift it gave was The Brat Pack, a group of young, up-and-coming actors often seen on film together and occasionally off-screen.
What actors belong to the group varies by who you ask. Some people consider the members to be those listed by reporter David Blum in his now infamous 1985 article in the New York Magazine.
But 1980s Brat Pack fans have their own list of eight core members we grew up watching act together. It started with The Breakfast Club and then St. Elmo's Fire.
Now, they're on some of our favorite movies and series. But regardless of what they do, they're often still associated with belonging to the Brat Pack.

Across his career, Tom Cruise has made many all-time-great movies – from his early character drama work in A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire, to the high-flying Top Gun and its sequel Maverick, to… well, every Mission: Impossible movie. But in recent years, there’s been another Cruise movie that’s stood particularly tall – Edge Of Tomorrow, the alien-attack time-loop movie that sees Cruise get splattered again and again while trying to figure out how to beat the marauding ‘Mimics’ intent on taking over Earth. The film, directed by Doug Liman and co-starring Emily Blunt, sadly didn’t set the box office alight on release, but picked up a major following as a top-tier Cruise movie – and the star clearly agrees.
On social media, Cruise shared a thread celebrating 10 years since Edge Of Tomorrow hit the big screen – celebrating the movie, and shouting out his collaborators. “I want to take...

Val Kilmer left no stones unturned when he wrote his memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry, which was released in 2020. With a title ripped off from one of his famous lines in Tombstone, the book was a brutally frank, tell-all tale of Kilmer’s life, including his love, loss, and regret. In one of his confessions in the book, the Batman Forever actor revealed his crush on co-star Angelina Jolie.

Kilmer worked together with Jolie in the 2004 film, Alexander. Both the actors had supporting roles in the film, playing Philip II of Macedon and Queen Olmypias, the feuding father and mother of Alexander the Great. Interestingly, Kilmer wanted a kissing scene with Jolie in the film and even jokingly told director Oliver Stone about it.

“Let’s face it, I had a bad script,” director Michael Bay said on the commentary track of his debut feature film, Bad Boys. Bay isn’t wrong. Bad Boys relies on buddy comedy tropes already established in 1974’s Freebie and the Bean and 1982’s 48 Hrs., complete with nonsense plot points. “But I had real comic talent in my two stars.” Bay of course means Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Drawn from the popular sitcoms Martin and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Lawrence and Smith saved the movie from the clunky script with their easy chemistry and comic timing.
At one point, however, Bad Boys had two very different stars in mind with a comic chemistry unlike that of Lawrence and Smith.

With much anticipation, Top Gun: Maverick triumphantly returned as one of the biggest box office hits of 2022, and the receipts were positively astounding. The film, which was nominated for six Oscars, had some incredible aerial action, but not all of it was in the skies. Did you know that at the request of Cruise, a particularly stirring scene featuring Jennifer Connelly was reshot?
Connelly recently unveiled the cinematic alchemy that turned a potentially tedious moment into a standout scene under the fastidious eye of Cruise. It is not every day that the latter describes a scene as “boring”, but that is exactly what happened during the filming of this eagerly anticipated sequel to the 1986 hit, Top Gun.

Tom Cruise has cemented a strong legacy thanks to his daring guts that have helped him become an action superstar. Apart from action, he has showcased his acting prowess in a range of genres that go way beyond the likes of Top Gun (1986) and Mission: Impossible movies. Given the star power he has accumulated since his acting debut, his personal life has also garnered public attention.

His star influence also brings his children into the spotlight. His youngest daughter, Suri, has been in the public eye from a young age and has already showcased her talents in Hollywood. With her incredible abilities, she has the potential to overcome any allegations of nepotism. Her skills are endorsed by her mother and Cruise’s ex-wife, Katie Holmes.

Among the various successful lineups of Disney’s Pixar, it features popular titles like Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and many more. However, there is one underrated franchise that does not get the wholehearted love it deserves. It is none other than Cars. The film is often overlooked but it is surely one of the classic films that is enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Though one would assume from the title that the story is merely about some automobiles, its central themes are much more complex and center more than just vehicles. The film teaches us grounded values with a gripping storyline in a fast-paced racing world. But the film is much deeper than that as it became Paul Newman’s most popular film giving him a fitting tribute before he passed away in 2008.

Bringing back Tom Cruise in the iconic role of Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell from the 1986 film, Top Gun: Maverick has become one of the biggest films in the action star’s esteemed career. The film garnered acclaim on multiple fronts, earning numerous accolades. However, its most notable feature was the breathtaking aerial sequences, which required monumental efforts from the filmmakers.

An acting career that began at the age of 18 with stage performances soon transformed into one of the most versatile ones in Hollywood as Emily Blunt began showcasing her true potential. Following her breakthrough role in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, the actress turned around her fortune. Additionally, her on-screen charisma and athletic energy helped her land acclaimed roles opposite some of the biggest stalwarts like Tom Cruise.

Fans have certainly been treated to a generous dose of Glen Powell on screen in recent years. However, unlike his co-star Sydney Sweeney, Powell seems to maintain a discerning approach despite his frequent film appearances. Notably, he deliberately avoids superhero films, as hinted at in a recent interview.

Embarking on fame in Tinseltown can be both exhilarating and perilous. But what if young actors could harness one specific piece of wisdom from the legendary Tom Cruise—who will be turning 62 next month—to steer their careers toward calmer, controversy-free waters?
Reaching the heights of fame at a tender age, Cruise’s career has been a masterclass in maintaining a clean public image in such a not-so-easy profession. With a track record free of public scandals, or infamous meltdowns, his journey offers a beacon for emerging talents. In fact, as evidenced by his candid insights in Vanity Fair, he expertly navigated the shark-infested waters of show business, avoiding the bloodsuckers and sticking to his job.

Glen Powell shared some fascinating stories about his time with Top Gun legend Tom Cruise during a cover interview with GQ UK. Despite originally auditioning for the role of Rooster, which went to Miles Teller, Powell secured the part of Hangman, impressively negotiating his character’s role.

When Tom Cruise parted ways from his ex-wife Katie Holmes over a decade ago, their separation also catalyzed his reported estrangement from their daughter, Suri Cruise. In fact, the father-daughter duo has barely been seen together since then, if at all.
Meanwhile, the Top Gun star seems to be a goldmine of sweetness when it comes to Dakota Fanning, who played Cruise’s daughter in the sci-fi action feature, War of the Worlds.

Tom Cruise didn’t just jump up and down on a couch as an overeager romantic. The otherwise calm and composed Cruise often blurted out his love for his partner on public platforms in the 2000s. The actor might be single now, but there was a time when he was associated with some of the top actresses. After his divorce from Nicole Kidman, Cruise was involved in a romantic relationship with Penélope Cruz.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the third flick is the mystery surrounding Glen Powell’s character, known as Hangman.

One major complaint against Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, who are currently some of the biggest names in Hollywood, is they play it too safe with their movies. Despite having starred in dramas early in their career, since their rise to fame in Hollywood, both actors have limited themselves in a bubble and are known for playing themselves in most movies.
But things couldn’t be more different with Tom Cruise, arguably the biggest movie star on the planet, and one of the major recipes behind it is the actor’s willingness to learn.

Glen Powell recently shared a fascinating anecdote about Tom Cruise that offers a glimpse into their dynamic during the filming of Top Gun: Maverick. In an interview with GQ UK magazine, Powell recounted some memorable experiences, highlighting how they became close friends during the production. Where It All Began Originally auditioning for the role of Rooster, Powell was ultimately outpaced by Miles Teller. Despite this, Cruise offered him the role of Hangman, recognizing Powell’s potential. What we were talking about is, how can Hangman service the story and give the flavor of the original ‘Top Gun’ that you need? Powell...

Back in May 1986, fans saw Tom Cruise as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell for the first time, in Top Gun. The movie, which is an all-time action classic, introduced us to a number of characters destined to become fan-favorites. However, arguably none came as close to immediately taking that mantle, as Val Kilmer’s Lt Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, the Maverick’s biggest rival initially.

Kilmer’s Iceman finishes at the top of his class at the Top Gun Academy and proceeds to become a close ally of Cruise’s character. Being an integral part of the success that the first movie got, Kilmer was still not certain about whether he would be a part of the second movie, which came out decades later, in April 2022.

The original Bad Boys debuted nearly 30 years ago, and even with a first-time director, two stars untested at the box office and a scramble to finish the script, nothing could handcuff the film’s success.
After a string of hits that included Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun, producing partners Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer began developing a buddy-cop script from George Gallo (Midnight Run) called Bulletproof Heart. Saturday Night Live standouts Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz were eyed to star, but Will Smith and Martin Lawrence ultimately landed the leads. (In 2013, Arsenio Hall told The Hollywood Reporter about his regret over having turned down Smith’s part: “Sometimes I made bad choices.”)
At the time, Smith and Lawrence were starring on the sitcoms The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Martin, respectively, and neither had led a studio movie. Making his feature directorial debut was Michael Bay, known for music videos and commercials.

Top Gun: Maverick certainly caught audiences off-guard when it was released. Despite having been released decades after its first part, the film managed to grasp relevance in the best of ways. Many small pieces had to work seamlessly to make sure that the machine that was the film did not crash. It was excellently well-executed in every aspect, and many are to thank for it.

Actor Glen Powell was propelled to new heights of stardom when he starred as Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick. The Tom Cruise-starrer was the highest-grossing film of 2022 and was even nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Powell’s role as an arrogant yet principled Navy pilot received positive responses from fans and critics alike.
Though Powell portrayed Hangman to perfection, that was not the first role he auditioned for. The actor reportedly first hoped to star as Rooster, the role that eventually went to Miles Teller. However, after being rejected from the role and not being impressed with Hangman on the page, Powell was convinced by Cruise to take the character.

Glen Powell has been acting since he was a kid but did not get that required breakout role for a long time. Many fans didn’t know he was in Spy Kids 3D, The Great Debaters, and The Dark Knight Rises. He also had supporting roles in acclaimed films in the 2010s like Hidden Figures and Everybody Wants Some!!.

Jeremy Renner wanted to Rennervate the script for “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” after realizing his character was going to be killed off.
During an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (video below), Renner revealed that he turned down reprising his role of Imf agent William Brandt for the 2018 franchise installment. Renner was asked to film for one week to close out Brandt’s “M:i” arc after he starred in 2011’s “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol” and 2015’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.”
“I remember they tried to bring me over[seas] for a week so they could kill my character, and I was like, ‘No, you don’t get to do that. You’re not going to drag me over there and just kill my character,’ like get out of here!” Renner said. “If you’re going to do this and you’re going to use my character, you’re going to do it right.

We had jet engines blowing. We had fans so massive you'd lose your hearing without earplugs. We were pelting our cast with everything – dirt, wind, ice."Chung also explained that the picture was shot during tornado season in Oklahoma which increased the complexity of the production.The 'Minari' filmmaker said: "It was tough.
