Just wondering if there are any real film buffs amongst us without needing any clues :0)

Guessed at Helen Mirren…others…not a clue…

1 out of 6 W… Will kick yourself when you realise, they are so obvious :0)

Dustin Hoffman, Carrie Fisher & The Rock?

2 / 6 D… Well done :0)

Steve McQueen and Ali Macgraw, though had to cheat for her name.

Brill… So that is 5 / 6 sorted… Just one to go :0)

I just watched a comedy show in Michael J Fox theatre about 30min from home.

Sad to see how bad his Parkinsons’ has gotten, he was one of the good ones.

Just got it

Yep… That makes 6 / 6 :rofl:

I was racking my brain to think of what movie starred them all, not just the actor/actresses names
:laughing:

Christ, I thought the first one was Harry Kane

Sir Ian McKellen with his stunt and scale doubles on the set of “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”

Doesn’t Ian McKellan just seem like the coolest guy? He’s appeared in so many memorable roles, but he says that many of his greatest on camera memories come from filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy in New Zealand. He told Indiewire:

It may be my impression but I don’t remember a green screen on The Lord of the Rings. If Gandalf was on top of a mountain, I’d be there on the mountain. The technology was being invented while we were making the film. [In ‘The Lord of the Rings’] I wasn’t involved in any of that, I was away acting on a mountain. I tend not to remember the bad times, but I don’t think there were any. I think I enjoyed every single moment of making those films.

Gandolf with his stunt and scale doubles :0)

Yoda’s creator based the character’s design off of his own face

In order to create Yoda, makeup artist Stuart Freeborn looked inward and found a look that he thought would work well on the swamp planet of Dagobah. Freeborn’s work can be seen throughout the early films of Stanley Kubrick and even in Superman, but he’s most remembered for his Star Wars designs. In fact, it was his work creating the apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey that won him the job on Star Wars where he went on to design hairy space pirate Chewbacca. However, when it came to creating Yoda he moved away from giant hairy animals and made something a little closer to what he saw in the mirror. The mirror image is strong with this one.

Brilliant :0)

Just finished watching Ad Astra. I’d rather have watched Tenet again…

Strange film. Gave me the the impression that it wanted to be Apocalypse Now in space but got it wildly wide of the mark.

Nice visuals though.

Not Apocalypse Now, but was modelled on Heart of Darkness, the same book that film was based on. I don’t remember the details, but I do recall it being one of those odd films that only got made because Pitt agreed to be in it, and he only agreed to do that in turn for the Studio greenlighting a different film he wanted to make (dont remember which one though).

Drinker has a brilliant vid on AN. Watched it at a mate’s house as a kid, now that was an eye opener aged 10. The bull…… Oh and the film, not this:
