    • The plane crash sequence in ‘Flight’ is jaw-dropping, but bonkers.

      After steering the plane through a particularly nasty bout of turbulence, Denzel Washington’s half-cut captain Whip has a nap, only to wake up with the plane nose-diving.

      To land the knackered aircraft, he rolls it upside down to stop it plummeting to the ground, before flipping it the right side up and crash landing in a field. He saves 96 of the 102 passengers onboard and is hailed a hero, until the authorities discover he had drugs and alcohol in his blood...

      The crash in ‘Flight’ is one of the most realistic ever captured on film, though director Robert Zemeckis has had some practice after helming a similar scene in ‘Cast Away’.

      As the crew explains in our exclusive making-of video, the intense effect was created by building the entire plane cabin - which weighed 30,000 pounds - and strapping it to a giant rotating gimbal (a piece of kit that pivots and rotates around an object, in this case, the fake cabin).

      It

      Directed by Don Scardino, the film follows past-it Vegas magician Burt Wonderstone, played by Carell, as he attempts to reunite with former partner Anton Marvelton (Buscemi) when Carrey’s sneaky street magician, Steve Gray, starts to overshadow him.

      Wonderstone himself is partly based on flamboyant tiger-friendly magicians Siegfried & Roy, whilst Carrey’s character was described by Scardino as “If David Blaine and Criss Angel had a child.” Horrific.

    • Bruce Willis and Jai Courtney talk epic action, going to Chernobyl and father/son love McClane-style in our exclusive ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ featurette.

      In the clip we get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of ‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ including interviews with Bruce Willis and Jai Courtney about the “pretty contentious” relationship between icon of action Detective John McClane and his estranged son Jack… who happens to be working for the CIA.

      “Things haven’t exactly been chummy for the last few years,” says 26 year-old Australian born Courtney, “but they have to band together and sort it out. Get out of there alive.”

      “The action is awesome. Where else can you legally crash cars, beat guys up and fire weapons on a daily basis?”

      The featurette also shows the mammoth operation to shoot the fifth ‘Die Hard’ instalment, using 55 different sets. Most of the action was

    • In a casting move that is now tough to imagine, Daniel Day-Lewis could have played Vincent Vega in 'Pulp Fiction'.

      A new article on the making of the movie in Vanity Fair magazine has now lifted the lid on the iconic Tarantino picture.

      But the hitman with a heroin problem also had another suitor, alongside the inimitable star of 'Lincoln' and 'There Will Be Blood'.

      “Daniel Day-Lewis and Bruce Willis, who was the biggest star in Hollywood, had both gotten their hands on the script and wanted to play Vincent Vega,” said director Quentin Tarantino's agent Mike Simpson.

      Meanwhile producer Harvey Weinstein was lobbying for Sean Penn or William Hurt for the role, and was said to be 'dead-set' against Travolta.

      In other bombshells from the lengthy exploration of Tarantino's finest film, Uma Thurman says that she nearly walked away from her part as Mia Wallace over the infamous 'gimp' scene, saying that she found it 'pretty
