Christopher Walken Gossip

Will Ferrell is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest King Princess. I can’t figure out what he’s promoting, if he’s promoting anything, or maybe he’s just cruising by for a visit for old times, to do Lorne a favour. Is it Succession? For some reason when his name comes up during the opening credits, along with Adam McKay, it always surprises me. Full Story

The ordeal began with a trip to the ticket window. The movie in question, Nine Lives, had not screened for critics, so I had to pay actual money to see the movie in which Kevin Spacey gets turned into a cat. Full Story

Disney has already had one family hit this year, with Zootopia, and they’ve got another one on their hands with Jon Favreau’s update of The Jungle Book. Full Story

And isn’t that the best of all fake computer movie bears? A new trailer for Jon Favreau’s update of The Jungle Book was released as part of the Super Bowl Trailer Apocalypse, and goddamn this movie looks gorgeous. Watch the new trailer and keep in mind two things: 1) The animals are not real, not even one, and 2) none of the locations are real, either. Full Story

I feel like there should be a rating system on Twitter for how long you stayed with Peter Pan last night. I had on-the-laptop errands to do so I thought I’d be in for the long haul, but I definitely found myself blinking awake during one of the various pirate dances post-child-kidnapping.

Nicole Kidman acquired the rights to Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang almost 3 years ago. Click here for my coverage of the story and my thoughts on the book. Briefly, The Family Fang is about Caleb and Camille Fang, renowned performance artists, who use their children in controversial public stunts (one of them involved the father prostituting his kids in a mall), secretly videotaping the public’s reaction, and then screening the footage at museums and galleries like it’s creative genius. Full Story

I’m into it. Even though I worry that Pacino’s work, lately, has been super sh-t. Like Robert DeNiro. Is DeNiro broke or something? Anyway, this movie, with Christopher Walken, is called Stand Up Guys. A group of aging thugs get together for one last scam. So like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and their Oceans crew in 15 years. Full Story

Written by Jacek Christopher Walken was photographed in NY the other day looking…old (attached). I love Chris Walken. An amazing career. Wicked comedic timing. And he’s managed to stay relevant over a long period of time in an industry that quickly forgets and leaves people behind. Full Story

Well, not really, but he totally deserves an award for that too. Christopher Walken was honoured at the Marrakesh film festival this weekend, a tribute to his work. Next up for Walken: Broadway. He’ll be headlining Full Story

There was Guiding Light. For many of them… Including Oscar winners Christopher Walken and Mira Sorvino, nominee Ruby Dee, Calista Flockhart, Hayden Panettiere, and also Kevin Bacon in a rather hot kinda homoerotic scene, all of them at the beginning of their careers made appearances on Guiding Light. Full Story
