7. CAN RIDLEY SCOTT HAVE NATALIE PORTMAN FOR ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD?

Critics may not love all of his movies (like The Counselor or Exodus: Gods and Kings), but one thing you can’t deny about Ridley Scott is that for a guy pushing 80, he is staying very, very productive. Scott has Alien: Covenant coming out this fall, is also producing Blade Runner 2049 and the Murder on the Orient Express remake, and he also made a deal recently for a Netflix movie (see above). Well, the projects keep coming, and the latest is a fact-based drama called All the Money in the World, based on a “Black List” screenplay chronicling the 1973 kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III. The story will focus on the efforts of his mother to raise the ransom money, with her very, very wealthy father John Paul Getty, Sr. reportedly refusing to pay any of it. Of course, we can read all about the kidnapping on Wikipedia, but it might also be nice to see it adapted by a director like Ridley Scott. Scott’s current focus is on casting the mother role, and after reportedly meeting last week with Angelina Jolie, he’s now hoping to recruit Natalie Portman, who is especially “hot” in Hollywood following the success of Jackie.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part.

Don Rickles: Why Legendary Comic's Jabs Are Funny, Not Offensive

Famed stand-up comedian and actor Don Rickles, who died April 6 at age 90, cultivated a curmudgeonly persona for decades and was celebrated for his caustic cracks. Known as the "insult comic," his pointed put-downs spared no one, not even celebrities many other comedians would consider off-limits. Before he became famous, Rickles was onstage at a Miami Beach club in the 1950s, when superstar Frank Sinatra entered the room. Rickles called out to him from the stage, "Make yourself comfortable, Frank. Hit somebody," the Los Angeles Times reported. Somehow, Rickles successfully parlayed his barbed insults into jokes — garnering guffaws even from the notoriously grumpy Sinatra, according to the LA Times — and launched a career that spanned more than half a century. But what made his insults seem funny, rather than merely, well, insulting? [Smile Secrets: 5 Things Your Grin Says About You] The success of Rickles' insult comedy may be explained by a humor th
