The Dead Zone (1983) Throughout the film Christopher Walken was required to involuntarily flinch as he received visions. This was achieved by director David Cronenberg firing a .357 Magnum loaded with blanks off camera without warning. Might seem cruel, but it was Walken's idea.

"The Dead Zone" (1983) was the first movie David Cronenberg directed in which he didn't write the screenplay himself. Initially five scripts were written, one of them was by Stephen King, which Cronenberg thought was "Terrible, really ugly unpleasant slasher script" and which, if he had filmed, King's fans would have torn him apart for doing & considered Cronenberg as the one who destroyed the work. Andrzej Żuławski wrote one of the scripts. Even though, Cronenberg didn't like any of the scripts, he selected the one by Jeffrey Boam, which he thought was best of the five. Afterwards, it was modified and filmed. ("David Cronenberg: Interviews with Serge Grünberg", Serge Grünberg, 1992, "Cronenberg on Cronenberg", Edited by Chris Rodley, 1992 & AFI Catalog)

During Doctor Sleep (2019), Stephen King personally praised Ferguson’s performance. He stated that her portrayal of Rose was so menacing that it actually improved upon the character he had originally written in the novel.

After Stephen King watched Stand by Me for the first time, director Rob Reiner noticed he was visibly shaken; King quietly asked for a moment to think, stepped out of the room, and when he returned he said, “This is the best adaptation of anything I’ve ever written.”

The Dead Zone could improve your weekend. Based on a novel by Stephen King, after coming out of a coma, Christopher Walken is basically given psychic vision. It’s an incredibly entertaining story that gives way to an awesome Walken performance- same goes for Martin Sheen. See it!

“Videodrome” (1983), directed by David Cronenberg, is a surreal exploration of technology, media, and the human body. Set in a dystopian world where television broadcasts can alter reality, it delves deep into the dark intersection between violence, desire, and control. 📺🧠 The story follows Max Renn, a TV executive who discovers a mysterious broadcast signal known as “Videodrome.” As he becomes obsessed with uncovering its source, he begins to experience disturbing hallucinations that blur the line between flesh and machine. The film’s visceral imagery and philosophical undertones make it a landmark in body horror cinema. 💀📡 Videodrome remains one of Cronenberg’s most thought-provoking works, predicting the dangers of media addiction and technological manipulation long before the digital age. 🔌👁️

Leonardo DiCaprio was initially considered for the role of David McCall in "Fear" (1996), DiCaprio didn't think he was right for the role, but he put in a good word for friend Mark Wahlberg to director James Foley after working with him on "The Basketball Diaries" (1995). James Foley & Mark Wahlberg spent a day hanging out and discussing about the part. Afterwards Wahlberg was told by Foley that he really liked him but that he wouldn't be considered for the lead role of David McCall. Wahlberg was subsequently offered to come in to audition for one of David's criminal friends and impressed Foley so much that Foley told the studio that he would back out of directing the movie if Wahlberg didn't get to play David. P.S: Happy 55th birthday, Mark Wahlberg!

Probably for the first time, Pawan was left impressed by an employee's expertise. During his visit to the Jindal Waste to Energy plant, he was astonished by the knowledge and vision of a senior employee. Impressed by his ideas, Pawan directed officials to arrange meetings with him to help formulate plans for cleaning the Godavari River.

After director Rob Reiner screened the movie for Stephen King, he noticed that King was visibly shaking and wasn’t speaking. He left the room and upon his return, told Reiner that the movie was the best adaptation of his work he had ever seen. A story that captures friendship, childhood memories, and the bittersweet truths of life. And that last line... 'I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?' Hits straight to the heart! 🎥: Stand By Me

I guess it's Thursday, so Pahlavi is back to advocating war with Iran. Tomorrow, Friday, he will say that he has never advocated war. On top of that, he calls those killed in the war he advocated for (on Thursdays, that is) "collateral damage." By so openly being a tool of foreign powers, he has made it so much easier for the Iranian gov to claim the mantle of Iranian nationalism.
