‘Friday Night Lights’ movie not moving ahead

Director/producer Peter Berg has dashed fans’ hopes of a new film adaptation of TV drama series “Friday Night Lights” after the idea was met with mixed feelings from the cast and crew.

The critically-acclaimed show was spawned from the 2004 success of Berg’s American football movie of the same name, which starred Billy Bob Thornton as the coach of a Texas high school team.

It was axed in 2011 after five seasons on air, but executive producer Berg previously admitted he would love to revamp the program] on the big screen, with TV stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton on board for the project.

However, he has since had a change of heart, telling Collider.com, “There’s not gonna be a movie. We talked about it, some people thought it was a good idea, some didn’t. I’ve come to believe it’s probably not a good idea and I seriously doubt it’s gonna happen.”

Meanwhile, actor Taylor Kitsch, another star of the “Friday Night Lights” series, insists he would never have agreed to reprise his role as star player Tim Riggins for the movie remake.

Speaking before Berg’s latest remarks, he told Vulture.com, “I’ll just say no. No, period. I’m not doing it. I’m never gonna be in that movie. There was already a movie! And the show ended f—in’ spot-on. We’re good.”

‘Now You See Me’ tops 2013 movie mistakes list

WENN

Hit 2013 movie “Now You See Me” was the most mistake-laden film of the year, according to the boss of watchdog website MovieMistakes.com.

In his annual list of great gaffes and big screen blunders, Jon Sandys tells WENN that he and eagle-eyed film fans who frequent his site counted 80 errors in Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson’s quirky illusionist heist movie — almost double the mistakes tallied from second-placed “The Great Gatsby,” which comes in just ahead of “World War Z,” with 46.

The biggest error, according to the website editor, comes in a scene when federal agents arrive to arrest Eisenberg and his gang — and the boom microphone can be seen in the reflection from a car’s window.

Sandys has also compiled his list of the biggest movie errors of the year, revealing that a huge gaffe in “Gravity” tops the countdown.

He explains, “The shuttle’s original mission was to service Hubble, yet when the shuttle is wrecked, Kowalsky (George Clooney’s character) moves with Stone (played by Sandra Bullock) to the ISS, which just happens to be ‘a short hike away’. Hubble orbits at an altitude of 350 miles, while the ISS does so at an altitude of about 250 miles.

“Furthermore, even if they had been able to see the ISS from Hubble’s orbit, they would have only seen it speed ahead, as their orbital velocities are very different: 7.66km per second for the ISS and 7.5km per second for Hubble.”

Bruce Willis’ “A Good Day to Die Hard” comes in second thanks to a botched car chase scene.

Sandys adds, “The blue van is hit and the left side headlight dislodges and is dangling down for most of the chase. But in one far shot where the van is taking a turn, it is suddenly switched to the right headlight that’s dangling.”

And there are also dishonourable mentions for movie mistakes in “The Hangover Part III,” “Iron Man 3,” “Star Trek Into Darkness” and “The Wolverine,” which also make the top film fluffs countdown.

Danny Glover honored in Bahamas, recalls Mandela

©AP / Danny Glover

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Actor Danny Glover has received a Career Achievement Award in the Bahamas as he reflected on the role he played as Nelson Mandela while the South African leader was still in prison.

The 67-year-old actor said late Friday that he was moved by Mandela’s political writings as a student in the 1960s and acknowledged he was the only U.S. actor who portrayed him in a film before the publication of his biography and release from prison in 1990.

“There’s a great deal that comes back over a period of time, those great moments when you thought you were doing something of value, and that the work you were doing as an artist was changing the world,” Glover said.

He received his award at the Bahamas International Film Festival a day after the death of the 95-year-old former South African president and anti-apartheid activist. He earned an Emmy nomination for portraying him in the 1987 TV film “Mandela.”

“I think this is particularly special because it comes the day after the transition of someone who I never in my lifetime thought I would get the chance to meet, and someone who became a friend. He used to affectionately call me, ‘Danny boy’,” Glover recalled. “It allows you … to reflect on this absolutely wonderful opportunity I’ve had, what are the elements that went into that, to not only allow me to be the artist I’ve hopefully grown to be, but also the human being and the citizen, which is much more important.”

Glover has campaigned globally for humanitarian causes and is best known for playing Los Angeles police Sgt. Roger Murtaugh in the “Lethal Weapon” movies.
