How FilmNation Became the Indie Powerhouse Behind This Year’s Top Oscar Contenders

FilmNation is clearly a force to be reckoned with this awards season. Their two films, “Conclave,” an intense religious thriller based within the Vatican, and “Anora,” a daring dramedy about a sex worker, have both proven successful. “Conclave” has raked in over $100 million globally, while “Anora” has already earned more than $40 million on a mere $6 million budget. This success can be attributed to FilmNation’s innovative filmmaking style, which emphasizes bold storytelling, projects led by filmmakers themselves, and shrewd collaborations, all of which have clearly yielded significant results.

Gene Hackman Remembered: How the ’70s Acting Legend Left His Mark and Shaped ‘The Conversation’

As the oldest member of that group, I, Hackman, am less recognized by today’s youth due to my retirement from acting over two decades ago. Instead, I chose to focus on writing and painting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Throughout a span of four decades in the film industry, I, being a stage-trained actor, predominantly starred in mature movies catering to adult audiences (with the notable exception of my unforgettable role as Lex Luthor in the “Superman” series). If not for my memorable portrayal as the stern patriarch in Wes Anderson’s beloved film “The Royal Tenenbaums,” I might have been completely overlooked by Generation Z.

Timothy Dalton Got Asked to Play James Bond in His 20s, but ‘I Said No… 24 or 25 Doesn’t Seem Right’ for 007 and ‘You Don’t Want to Follow Sean Connery’

In his own words, Timothy Dalton shared that there was a point when Sean Connery was stepping down from the role, and instead of being given the opportunity, he was asked if he’d be interested in taking it on.

While you could portray it at a younger age, Dalton felt that he might not fully convince audiences of his age appropriateness for the role.
