On a sad note, Amy was one of the most memorable people I’ve ever known. Our friendship meant so very much to me and to the entire cast and crew of #TheWalkingDead. A tragic loss for her family and the thousands of friends and colleagues around the world who had the privilege of knowing her. #RIP
And I can say I knew her way back when! What an amazing cast and such a fun film. Kudos and best wishes to Michelle on her birthday.
#HappyAnniversary to our 1991 film, #CastADeadlySpell! Cast a Deadly Spell is available to stream today on HBO Max.
It's not quite that graphic!
We survived another year…but it seems to me that the clock is ticking faster and faster.
I know…sad and tragic.
OMG! That’s incest!
Terence Stamp was a brilliant actor. I think he and Peter O'Toole not onlv had the most mesmerizing eyes...but delivered equally indelible performances. #RIP #TerenceStamp
I’m grateful to the team at Motel X and look forward to attending the Festival in Lisbon next month!
What a tragic loss. James Horner was a genius composer and an absolutely lovely man.
I had a great time and really appreciated the audience and the great questions for Eric Kohn at the Southampton Playhouse! (Not South Hampton)
Thank you!!
Truly tragic. A wonderful young woman, a terrific actor and a bright light…thankfully we have her wonderful performances to remember her by.
Truly one of my favorite people, Charlize is celebrating another trip around the sun today!
No surprise here…Jim Cameron and I envisioned the future of warfare in the early 1980’s, which is why this very scenario is at the heart of THE TERMINATOR…Skynet. www.wired.com/story/nuclea...
I concur...
Budd was our brilliant Music Supervisor on #TheTerminator and revolutionized the popsition in the process. What a terrible loss. #RIP #BuddCarr who was truly one of the greats. deadline.com/2025/07/budd...
If you haven’t seen The Waterdance, which won the Audience and Screenwriting Awards @Sundance.org and the Best First Feature and Screenwriting Spirit Awards from @FilmIndependent.org now would be a great time to check it out!
We could not be more thrilled for the brilliant, talented and philanthropic #SamanthaMorton, who deserves all of this, and more!
How a D.C. Prep-School Kid Became Hollywood’s Most Dependable Bruiser www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/m... Jon is the real deal. We cast him in The Walking Dead as Shane Walsh before we had even found Andrew Lincoln to play Rick Grimes. That's how much he impressed us with his audition!
I thought robots/AI were vegans? Apparently not. futurism.com/anthropic-me...
I really appreciate your very kind words. It’s incumbent upon all of us to pay forward the support we received when we were all starting out. Filmmaking is indeed a team sport!
Thank YOU — everyone was absolutely lovely and asked excellent questions! It was my pleasure.
#RIP #FrancesDoel the unheralded heroine behind so many brilliant careers, who taught us all so much about screenwriting and filmmaking. Thank you, Frances, from all of us Roger Corman grads. We'll never forget you. deadline.com/2025/05/fran...
Thank you so very much!
Thank you to brilliant Forbidden Worlds Film Festival team, the wonderful interviewers and the fantastic audiences! What an absolute blast to spend time with all of you enjoying movies on the Bristol Megascreen. It's truly my idea of the perfect weekend!!
Thank YOU, Jonathan! I had a fabulous time talking with you about TREMORS!
Yep.
Seriously, the nostalgia was incredible! I simply had to take photos of the credits to share with my colleagues who worked on the film and have had spectacular careers ever since!
Axios: CEO of one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence labs believes the technology could eliminate 50% of entry-level, white-collar jobs & spike unemployment in the very near future. In a recent survey, 41% of employers said they planned to downsize their workforce by 2030 due to AI.
Thank you so much! 🙏
I love this, thank you to #ForbiddenWorlds, and especially the talented artist @jamesstayte.bsky.social I am so happy to be depicted wearing an #Arsenal kit, for all you #Gooners out there!
It was truly wonderful being honored last evening by the #ForbiddenWorlds #FilmFestival, and to top it off, what a lovely surprise to see Jim and Sigourney on their IMAX screen!
Thank you, I had such a wonderful time, and I am really looking forward to screening #BATTLEBEYONDTHESTARS later today!
Thank you so much! What a great audience for the #ALIENS Directors Cut screening here in Bristol, with huge thanks to the #ForbiddenWorlds team. You are absolutely fantastic!
It’s true! Michael played a character based on my very good friend, the explorer Barry Clifford, whose birthday it is today! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_C... #HappyBirthdayBarry
#HappyBirthday to #DougHutchinson who played Loony Bin Jim in #PunisherWarZone!
This is not only cool news about the awesome #DanaiGurira, but absolutely well deserved, too!
Then perhaps AI should take a time out.
Remembering #RayLiotta whom we lost 3 years ago today. Liotta was a brilliant actor who played Robbins in our 1994 film, #NoEscape.
This is what it means. Arsenal Women. Champions of Europe. So so proud. ❤️
Brava to the #Arsenal Women, winners of the #UEFA #ChampionsLeague
Amazing recollection — and I still have a bad back from lugging that damn thing around! Allan is incredibly talented.
In his own words, the late #LesDilley talks about working on #TheAbyss www.thewrap.com/les-dilley-o...
#RIP #LesDilley who was nominated for an #Oscar on #TheAbyss. He achieved the impossible on an incredibly challenging shoot while always maintaining his cool. A remarkable man indeed. deadline.com/2025/05/les-...
#MrLoverman, featuring #TWDFamily member Lennie James, is finally making its way to the U.S and Canada this June! James recently won a #BAFTA for his brilliant work in the show so we can't wait to watch it! #FearFamily Read more:
Happy happy birthday to Melissa!!!!
Very cool, and greatly appreciated! #TheWalkingDead #FearTWD
Counting down…and heading over the pond soon! I do hope to see some of you in Bristol next week. In the meantime, have a lovely weekend.
Working on ALLIGATOR was a blast! Having an opportunity to meet the incredibly kind and talented Robert Forster, who starred in the film, was a huge highlight. Working in the LA storm tunnels wearing hip-waders was a bit less so.
Neal was brilliant. And so much fun to be around. I’ll never forget him.
All true!
See you there!!
Another great article on the powerful performance from #FrankDillane in #Urchin deadline.com/2025/05/fran...
From his very first audition for #FearTheWalkingDead it was clear to us that Frank was going to have an absolute fantastic career!
Such a wonderful actor and a great person!
100% true! And we were all walking across stages with flooded concrete floors, while power tools were being used. I definitely learned what NOT to do and have been incredibly safety conscious after surviving that film...
TY!!!🙏
ICYMI: The new trailer for Norman Reedus' new film, #Ballerina, was released a few days ago. We can't wait to see Norman on the big screen! Check it out here, #TWDFamily:
Bill Paxton was one of the greats, as an actor, a friend and a colleague. All of us who had the pleasure of working with Bill will never forget him. I know I certainly won’t. The quality and nuance of his performances were often overlooked because he made them look effortless. Miss you, Bill.
I learned so much about art and culture from Dennis, who was so generous with his time and expertise. And that’s on top of his incredible acting career!
My pleasure - the praise is well deserved!
PLEA by @brianmcquery.bsky.social really resonated with me and the approach to the film was not only original, but emotionally powerful. Truly excellent filmmaking across the board. Watch on Amazon Prime, Fawesome TV or @hoopladigital.bsky.social
It was wonderful collaborating on #TheWaterdance with Michael and the late Neal Jimenez.
Happy, happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to #TimRoth who played Emil Blonsky in our 2008 film, #TheIncredibleHulk!
Trust the best in the business, and they’ll deliver for you every time. Imho CGI has not necessarily improved filmmaking except in creating worlds that we couldn’t craft with traditional methods. I still love miniatures and the talented people who build and shoot them!
Congratulations to the brilliant Lennie James on his well deserved #BAFTA Award for Leading Actor for his performance in Mr Loverman! m.youtube.com/watch?v=EeAU...
I’ll never forget Roger. Without his support and encouragement, I would not have a career. Nor would many others in the entertainment industry! Miss him and his mentorship every single day.
Exactly!!!
Just to clarify, while I’m currently indeed a producer, I was the Assistant Production Manager on BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS. Those were early and such important days learning my craft!
A day late but the happiest of birthday wishes to Carrie! Here we are at #SDCC with the late, great Bill Paxton. Such great memories...
I am absolutely giddy with excitement!!
Yes, 100% agree!
Love this!!
Don't miss Battle Beyond the Stars on a big screen in Bristol! (also: Aliens, Waterworld) I think I'm going to create a tool to make it easy to find out where old sci-fi movies are showing in theaters around the world. 🤔
Thanks so much for the reminder! Happy Birthday to the brilliant Lance Henriksen!!!
Thank you, and I 100% agree on NEAR DARK! Re-watching it always makes me miss the late Bill Paxton even more, if that’s possible. Such a great cast, including Lance Henriksen and Jenette Goldstein; a mini-reunion of ALIENS actors.
That’s so very kind of you to let me know, thank you!
Happy to hear that you’ll give it a watch! I think it holds up well for a film produced 35 years ago. But of course, I’m probably a bit biased.
I'm so old, I was the Assistant Production Manager on the film!
I promise a fun time at the movies, and many stories about the Making Of the film that no one has ever heard before…
It's May which means the @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social is this month & our very own @galeannehurd.bsky.social will be honored as this year's Forbidden Worlds Legend! She will also be at screenings & Q&A's throughout the festival. Only a few passes are left so get your tickets today 👇
Definitely worth a read for all researchers and academics!
Hope to see you there! I’ll be sharing behind the scenes stories about making BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS and Jim Cameron’s remarkable early days in the film business!
Just found out that Roger Daltrey is an Arsenal fan -- which he just announced at the Glasgow concert I'm attending tonight! #RogerDaltrey #Arsenal
Seriously Hallie, the respect, admiration and appreciation is fully reciprocated! I feel the very same way about you, and treasure our friendship...
Ha! No and yes...Fox wanted to make ALIENS in the UK, but yes, tea time was a bit of an adjustment...to put it mildly and without using expletives. 🤣🤣🤣
Bristol, UK
I'm in the final cut of the film. The close shot of the gun firing at the Alien Warriorin the air vent is of me.
Happy Alien Day! #aliens #lv-426 #alienday @galeannehurd.bsky.social
Happy #AlienDay indeed! Very much looking forward to seeing Jim's #ALIENS Director's Cut on the big screen next month!
If you haven't seen Jim's first film, the short XENOGENESIS, www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnIv... it features the inspiration for many of his future designs. faroutmagazine.co.uk/xenogenesis-...
It was indeed, and he also built it.
That wouldn’t have surprised me at all!
Yes, and it was designed (back in the day) by Jim Cameron!
Excellent news!!
I’m not sure if I’ll inspire, but I promise to be honest and share some amusing (and not so amusing) anecdotes about filmmaking, Hollywood and my life in both.
Woo-hoo!!!
Thank you so very much for letting me know, and please let Virginia know how much her words mean to me! 🙏
