For those not versed in Harry Potter mythology, we’ll just say that to bring down Lord Voldemort, the three Deathly Hallows were sort of an important combination. It wasn’t until the second last book that audiences learned that a cloak, stone, and Elder Wand held the key to victory, but the idea was teased ahead of time. As in, two full movies ahead of time. In one of the franchise’s best easter eggs, Dumbledore tells Harry that he’s been searching for such a detail that held the secret to defeating Voldemort – but the answer is literally right in front of him, in the form of a 3D version of the Deathly Hallows symbols stored in his own off
The galaxy far, far, away is getting a lot bigger in the coming years, which means plenty of writers, directors and actors each getting a chance to throw in nods to the original films. But even though the Star Wars saga has been pored over for decades, there are still a TON of details, secrets and easter eggs we’re willing to bet fans have never cau
Film Divider ‘s sources also indicate that the new villain will be a male character and that the studio is looking for a Bryan Cranston-esque actor to play him. In fact, Cranston himself has apparently ” had words ” about taking the role, but what those words were and which direction they took remains a mystery for now. If Cranston does get the role then hopefully he’ll get a bit more screen time than he was given in Godzil
The previous two movies in the rebooted Star Trek franchise were filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, so the change of locale is most likely due to the hefty tax incentives offered in British Columbia (which have made Vancouver a popular destination for both film and TV productions). It makes sense that Paramount would try to rein in the budget of Star Trek 3 where possible; anything that cuts down the costs of such an effects-heavy movie is no doubt an attractive prosp
With the star of this near-future action film advertised as part man, part machine, it’s hard to see how Robocop could truly take inspiration from the Bible. But the events of the movie are a clear match: Alex Murphy is a hero in a corrupt city, who is killed, resurrected, and emerges as a robotic savior. Director Paul Verhoeven confirmed that a Biblical allegory was his goal, even including a scene of Murphy walking on water in the film’s third act. According to the Dutch filmmaker, an invincible hero who used bullets instead of forgiveness was his idea of “an American Jesus,” dishing out brutal justice in a world torn apart by violent cr
George Lucas may have dreamed up one incredible space opera all by himself, but it was Ralph McQuarrie’s concept paintings which made the director’s vision a reality, and convinced Fox that it was worth investing in. McQuarrie’s role wasn’t lost on Lucas either: when it came time to film The Empire Strikes Back , he made sure to give the painter a cameo, strutting through Hoth’s Echo Base – with his sketchpad in hand, obviou
Between superhero movies, the upcoming revival of the Star Wars franchise and the preponderance of YA science fiction novel adaptations like Divergent and The Maze Runner headed to theaters over the next few years, the sci-fi genre is going to be pretty well served in the immediate future. Not to be left out, the rebooted Star Trek universe is also returning in 2016 with Star Trek 3 , which will be directed by Justin Lin ( Fast & Furious
Jurassic Park was a hard adventure to beat, but director Steven Spielberg tackled the challenge anyway, removing dinosaurs from the island, and dropping them in San Diego. The added spectacle wasn’t a hit with every fan, but the director had gotten the chance to finally film many of the sequences and plot beats that he couldn’t fit in the first movie. The Lost World ended with the dinosaurs traveling back to Isla Sorna, and letting Spielberg finally take on the role of a fan – literally. Look closely at the TV reflection in the final scene, and the director can be seen with a bowl of popcorn in his lap, and a smile on his f
Given the talent behind the scenes of Anchorman , including producer Judd Apatow, writer/director Adam McKay, and writer/star Will Farell, it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that one of the funniest gags (in an already highly quotable film) is also one that most American moviegoers will miss entir
To be clear, movies on our list are more than simple easter eggs (such as the Egyptian etching of R2-D2 and C-3PO in Raiders of the Lost Ark ), set/costume designs that might not have been an actual “message” to the audience (like the The Bride’s “F*** You” sneaker soles in Kill Bill, Vol. 1 ), or Illuminati/thematic abstractions about the “true meaning” behind a particular film (i.e. Harry Potter is a platform for anti-family subliminal messaging). For our purposes, we’re focusing on frames, text, game strategy|https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ and audio that is literally hidden in each mo
