Rebecca Rubin News Editor, OnlineAfter months-long cinema closures, the U.S. box office has opened to the most significant degree since pre-pandemic times.Movie theaters in Florida, Texas, Georgia and other parts of the country that were able to safely reopen welcomed the first major theatrical premiere since March: Solstice Studios’ “Unhinged,” a thriller starring Russell Crowe.

Had Sharon Stone not put her foot down years ago concerning an Australian actor she wanted in her film, Russell Crowe may never have become a household name in American. While visiting Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday to promote his recent film, Unhinged, Crowe reminisced about the importance of Stone getting him cast in 1995’s Western The Quick and the Dead, on which she was the star and a producer.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticLagging a few weeks behind the rest of the world (where Russell Crowe road-rage thriller “Unhinged” released in several territories late last month), the United States is slowly seeing cinemas reopen in anticipation of Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” — still optimistically dated for Sept. 3.But that doesn’t mean film fans don’t have options, opening on drive-in screens, virtual cinemas and subscriptions services.With more than 30 new movies releasing in the U.S.

Mike Fleming Jr Co-Editor-in-Chief, FilmEXCLUSIVE: The adage you never forget your first time might be especially true for Mark Gill and his Solstice Studios cohorts, who decided to offer up the first film they financed as the litmus test of whether theater goers are ready to return to U.S. cinemas for the first time since they abruptly went dark in March.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards, Features EditorCaren Pistorius can only describe her experience on “Unhinged” as wonderful but “surreal.” The actor was working at a fabric store in Sydney when she got the call to audition for the road rage thriller starring Russell Crowe.Within hours, she found herself in New Orleans for a screen test. She ended up staying in the city as she quickly landed the role, and the film began shooting a week later.

 Movie theaters are set to reopen the weekend of Aug. 21, which will also be first major theatrical film release since cinemas were shuttered amid the swift spread of the coronavirus.

Russell Crowe has Sharon Stone to thank for helping him break into Hollywood after fighting to have the New Zealand-born actor cast in 1995 western The Quick And The Dead.The Sam Raimi movie served as Crowe’s American film debut, but he was almost passed over for the role of Cort – until Stone, who starred in the project and served as a producer, saved the day.“I used to say my theory of Los Angeles was you have to be careful because they will nice you to death,” Crowe quipped during an appearance on U.S.

grown more sophisticated and clever, you heave a sigh of relief to be handed a thriller that’s so dumb. There are lots of laughs at the gruesome deaths and a few solid shocks in director Derrick Borte’s film.

Gladiator 2.The actor, who played Maximus in Ridley Scott’s 2000 historical epic, recalled a conversation with producer Doug Wick suggesting a Bible-inspired plot development for the character, seeing him carried into a cave and resurrected a few days later.“Last time I talked to Doug,” Crowe began in an interview with Screen Rant, “he said he had this great idea where Maximus gets carried from the stadium and they pull back this big rock and he gets put into this cave and then the rock closes over and he’s anointed with oils.

unhinged pretty much says it all. A brutal action flick that’s running on ugly from start to finish, the film from director Derrick Borte flirts with having something to say about stressful, angry times and toxic masculinity, but settles for letting Russell Crowe glower, seethe and leave a whole lotta destruction in his gruesome wake.You’d like to think that a movie like this can be a fun, dark and bloody thrill ride, as recent coronavirus-era releases like “Extraction,” “The Old Guard” and even “Project Power” (like this one, shot in New Orleans) have been to varying degrees.
