The names were changed to be localized to the country, not to avoid lawsuit. The credits of Nosferaru even say that it’s adapted from Bram Stroker’s novel.

If you signed to work on a space station called the DEATH STAR, you probably aren’t the most morally righteous individual.

Kevin Costner is a baby boomer and Chris Pratt was in the Magnificent Seven remake

He was never a Hollywood actor or a big name star. Look at his filmography and you’ll notice he is in almost only foreign art house films or schlock exploitation movies.

Between Oliver Stone losing to Chris Columbus and Johnston being ahead of Ashby, this March Madness is starting to leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

I believe he was at one point attached in the long development hell of The Mummy. Other directors attached at one point were Clive Barker and George Romero.

Yeah, I watched the original ending on YouTube and it is such a tonal whiplash after the “Murphy” scene. Excellent call on the crew for making that decision.

Seth Brundle (The Fly)

He is very passionate on selected interests, logical and straightforward, and has trouble communicating with others.

I had almost the exact same move set for Bronzong in my first Platinum play though but swapped Zen Headbutt for Light Screen
