Check out buzz on these once up-and-coming stars.
Number One With a Bullet?
Will Val Kilmer, stepping into the Batsuit vacated by Michael Keaton for Batman Forever, hit one clean out of the park and become, at long last, a full-fledged movie star?If a more relaxed attitude toward his work helps, he just might. "It is kind of easy to go out and subdue the bad guy," he says about playing Batman. "I mean, my preparation as an actor is to get dressed."
More Than the Usual Suspects
David Thomson's celebrated 1985 novel Suspects imagined what happened to various movie characters before and after the events of the movies in which we met them. Movieline now presents the first four chapters of a sequel-in-the-works, with more to come later this year.
On a Wing and a Prayer
Fresh from making The Client a hit, director Joel Schumacher bravely undertakes the Batman movie that Tim Burton didn't want to make, that Michael Keaton wound up not starring in, and that Batman lovers hope won't disappoint them.
Gary After Gump
He's much honored for Forrest Gump and much anticipated in Apollo 13. Here Gary Sinise reminisces about slacker days gone by, sets the record straight on his relationship with John Malkovich, describes his small-screen kiss with Molly Ringwald, and--big surprise--praises Tom Hanks.
Agent of Fortune
Gillian Anderson's hit TV show "The X-Files" is more entertaining than most movies, and many people think she's a better actress than you see in most movies, too.
Scumbunny Cinema
An analysis of the disturbing trend of movies with so-called protagonists who kidnap, assassinate, deal drugs, sell their bodies, rape and pillage, have sex with minors, and/or generally carry on in a manner our parents taught us not to admire.
