30 ‘The Silence Of The Lambs’ Facts To Celebrate It’s 30th Anniversary!

The crime horror/thriller film that gave us the loveable cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter turned 30 this year on Valentine’s Day (when it was released in 1991). Since we’re getting closer to Halloween, why not share some interesting facts from both the film and the book that it came from, here are 30 facts about The Silence of The Lambs for you to chew on with a nice Chianti. Hannibal never once said “Hello Clarice” in the film, the misquoted line actually goes “Good evening, Clarice.” Ted Levine drank a lot of coffee before his audition to play Buffalo Bill resulting in a performance that impressed everyone. The real-life “Death’s Head Moth” (known as the Lesser Death’s Head Hawkmoth) does not have a pattern that looks like a skull on its back, but it does resemble a hooded face.

New ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Trailer Unveiled During Super Bowl

One of the biggest blockbusters headed our way this year is Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Let’s be honest, the best thing about the Super Bowl is the commercials and trailers, including the brand spanking new trailer for Fallen Kingdom that teases not only a return to Jurassic World, but Raptors in civilization. The new trailer, which is the second for the film, is filled with dino carnage, action, and amazing special effects. Set several years after the disaster as Jurassic World, a dormant volcano has become active on Isla Nublar and threatens to wipe out the remaining dino population. Claire Dearing is determined not to let that happen. Claire’s founded an organization, Dinosaur Protection Group,” explains actress Bryce Dallas Howard, “and they’re finding a way to get these dinosaurs off the island. She reaches out to Owen Grady to let him know this is happening.” Howard continues, “When you see them at the beginning of this story, you get caught

A New Dinosaur Is Coming To JURASSIC WORLD 2

Jurassic World 2 is now filming in London. Later filming will follow in Hawaii. Producer Frank Marshall reported via Twitter that the filming has now reached the half way mark. With the announcement, he included a new behind-the-scenes photo from the set (below). At first it simply looks like producers chairs in the image, but if you pay close attention to the background you will see what appears to be at least one new dino that will appear in Jurassic World 2. As for what kind of dinosaur is in the image, the people over at the fan site Jurassic Outpost speculate that is could be a Metriacanthosaurus, one of the species listed on the embryo storage container in Jurassic Park. If you zoom in you will also see a reflection on the glass in the bottom left corner and it appears to be a T-Rex. We reported earlier this month that the original T-Rex, named Rexy by fans, will

Dinos Get Weaponized In Jurassic World 2

Will humanity ever learn not to mess with nature? It’s unlikely, and when it comes to movies, I hope not. The Jurassic Park franchise is a great example of how playing god can get you into trouble. It’s been a year since the we reported that J.A. Bayona would be in the director’s chair for Jurassic World 2. And while we have revealed several pieces of information, but so far there have been little information about the plot, until now. While Universal has not announced anything we did track down a small summary on the site Production Weekly. They are reporting the following synopsis: The adventures at the Jurassic World resort and theme park continue as the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. In the previous film training the dinos for war was brought up, so it’s not that surprising. Weaponizing and altering genetics also proved to be a very bad idea in
