Gerard Butler is currently starring in the third Fallen movie, Angel Has Fallen. The films are serialized, with each building on the events of the movies that came before, which gives the cast and crew the opportunity to expand and stretch the characters and the series’ universe. Butler told us it’s this evolution and growth that make the series worthwhile for him, and a lot more fun and interesting for viewers, too.
If Good Boys sounds like a younger version of the movie Superbad, well, that’s by design. Both were produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and when the two of them came across the Good Boys script, they knew the movie would be a perfect fit for the types of movies they’ve made in the past (including Superbad).

You don’t have to be a kid to appreciate The Lion King. The movie is full of messages that resonate with people of all ages and all stages of the Circle of Life. In the early ’90s, when the original film was being developed at Disney, the script really resonated with one particular middle-aged man: Elton John. He told us that when he was first approached to do the movie, he’d just gone through a time in his life where the Lion King story really spoke to him.

Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman have worked together in all three of the Fallen movies: Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and the new Angel Has Fallen.

If you look at the list of 2019’s Top 10 movies (so far), you will find six sequels, two remakes, and a new Marvel Universe movie that features some existing characters. (The sole “original” entry on the list is the horror movie Us.) So, when people say there aren’t a lot of original ideas in Hollywood anymore, it’s tough to make a case against that. Then, there’s Quentin Tarantino. The acclaimed director writes his movies from scratch, and Brad Pitt — who stars in his latest, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” — is grateful for his originality.
