Harrison Ford Had No Faith ‘Star Wars’ Would Succeed

Asked by Home Media magazine what his “defining memory” of Star Wars was, Harrison Ford responded,

“The day my accountant convinced me that the success of the film and the two sequels that I was in meant I would never be poor again. It was a very Scarlett O’Hara moment considering prior to that I was making more of a living as a carpenter than an actor.”

Ford indicated that he had little confidence while he was making Star Wars that it would become successful.

“Whenever we would ask [director George] Lucas what we were shooting at or fleeing from he’d just tell us the special effects will be put in much later and that will explain everything, George will never be known as an actor’s director.”

McCartney seeks Winehouse for ‘Quantum of Solace’

Sir Paul McCartney wants Amy Winehouse to sing the theme tune for the new James Bond film, ‘Quantum of Solace‘.

The Beatles legend – who sang the title track for hit 1973 Bond film ‘Live and Let Die’ thinks troubled singer Amy has the perfect voice for a theme song, and offered some advice to her.

“I think Amy Winehouse would be really good, and I think she would do a really good job. My advice to her would be not to try and rhyme Solace with anything – that’s too hard.”, he said.

Paul also said despite being responsible for one of the most popular Bond tunes of all time, he wouldn’t want to have the responsibility again.

“I definitely wouldn’t do it again. I have been trying to think of something to rhyme with Solace and all I can come up with is Wallace! I don’t envy whoever is going to do the song!”, he added.

Other singers who have recorded a 007 theme tune include, Dame Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Sir Tom Jones, Carly Simon and Lulu.

Coppola to shoot ‘Tetro’ in Argentina with Gallo and Bardem

“After a while I realized that I was getting further and further away from what my original intentions had been.
So at this age I decided, ‘Well, why don’t I make the kinds of films I wanted to do when I was 18? I’ll just do it later in life.’”

The 68-year-old Francis Ford Coppola explains in an interview with The Associated Press.

The five-time Oscar winner, best known for “The Godfather” trilogy about the Corleone mafia family, is preparing to shoot a film about a much different, but equally dysfunctional, Italian-immigrant clan.

“Tetro,” for which Coppola wrote an original screenplay, follows two sons of a great but monstrously self-absorbed orchestra conductor in contemporary Argentina.

Much of the film will be shot in La Boca (Argentina), a neighborhood marked by the legacy of poor Italian immigrants who arrived by the shiploads in the early 20th century.

Researching his tale, Coppola discovered many parallels between Buenos Aires and the New York he grew up in.

“Italian families emigrated to Argentina and the United States, and very often brothers in the same family would go two different directions,” Coppola explains, relaxing in the courtyard of his new home and studio, which comes complete with the steel barbecue grill no self-respecting Argentine would do without.
