Johnny Depp has revealed which A-listers he beat out for his big screen breakout role in Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands.
During an interview in Tara Wood’s still-untitled Burton docuseries, which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Monday, the actor looked back at the 1990 film that ignited a years-long screen collaboration between Depp and the filmmaker.
Depp recalled some of the biggest Hollywood names at the time, including Tom Hanks, Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise, wanting to play the movie’s scissor-handed hero. He even said the latter “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor said when he first read the Edward Scissorhands script from Burton and screenwriter Caroline Thompson, it “passed through everything, anything, solid and went to the very core of whatever I am. The writing was beautiful. The character was beautiful.

In 1985, journalist David Blum applied the title "Brat Pack" to a group of young actors, including several stars of the then-new movie The Breakfast Club.
Since then, speculation has been that the Brat Pack was just a media ploy.
Was it, and how close was the group?
The Basis For the Naming of the Brat Pack
The Brat Pack was named when Journalist David Blum was assigned to interview Emilio Estevez for New York Magazine in 1985.
Emilio invited him out for an evening with Emilio and his friends.

Those friends were Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson, who were hanging out with Emilio at the Hard Rock Cafe on a Thursday evening just ahead of the premiere of St. Elmo's Fire (1985).

Among some of the most desired and requested sequels in the gaming landscape, there’s no doubt that one game that sits high on many gamers’ wish lists is Fallout: New Vegas 2. Obsidian Entertainment’s approach with the IP is often said to be the most influential one in the post-apocalyptic RPG series.
Although we’ve been hearing rumors and possibilities of a sequel for ages, a few years ago, Todd Howard himself squashed all such possibilities. However, considering the massive influx the Fallout franchise is enjoying due to the success of the TV series, it’s time for Bethesda to finally give us a proper game after the disaster of Fallout 76.

After a solid several centuries of non-stop detective stories being thrown at the public, you’d somewhat expect the genre to have exhausted itself. But crime mysteries still maintain their status as the go-to option for those willing to enjoy a story and make their brains work at the same time, and there’s no shortage of new original stories that defy the genre’s laws.
Knives Out Refreshed the Detective Genre
To this day, we remember when in 2019, Chris Evans said “knives out” and started kniving out everyone in the room as if it happened yesterday. But in all seriousness, five years ago, the detective genre wasn’t looking too hot — or at least, not nearly as hot as it does now. Then, Rian Johnson released Knives Out, and the tides turned.

Johnny Depp almost walked away from even auditioning for “Edward Scissorhands” with Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and even Michael Jackson vying for the lead role.
In the upcoming untitled Tim Burton docuseries, which debuted at Tribeca 2024, Depp says he felt “pigeonholed” as a teen star from his “21 Jump Street” fame, People magazine wrote. The television series ran from 1987 to 1990, and Depp admitted he “was probably doing my best for probably the last two years to get fired” from the show.
It wasn’t until Depp read Burton and Caroline Thompson’s script for “Edward Scissorhands” that he felt connect to a role.
Depp said the screenplay “passed through everything, anything, solid and went to the very core of whatever I am. The writing was beautiful. The character was beautiful. What I suppose [attracted] me emotionally was that Edward was me. It’s exactly what I should be doing.

Deadline reports that Depp is being featured in a new docu-series that’s a retrospective on the career of Tim Burton, and the actor reveals who he beat out for the part of Edward.
According to People, Depp said the competition was stiff for the titular character and names like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, were being considered for the role.

At this point in Depp’s career, he was feeling “pigeonholed” by the success of being a teen idol thanks to his series regular role on “21 Jump Street.” Part of the reason why he signed up for John Waters’ 1990 comedy movie “Cry-Baby” was because he had to “fight” against his teen heartthrob persona and Waters’ film allowed him to skewer it, which “was the first solid step in the direction I wanted to go.

In the high-octane world of Mission: Impossible, actors continually push boundaries, and Shea Whigham’s request to share a pivotal scene with Tom Cruise is a testament to that drive. Known for playing Jasper Briggs, Whigham specifically approached director Christopher McQuarrie with an intriguing proposition. Discussing his request, Whigham revealed, I said to Christopher McQuarrie on (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning): ‘I don’t want a bigger trailer. I don’t want more money. I don’t want better catering. I just want one scene between Tom and I, where you, McQ, write it like The Usual Suspects, and we get a chance to...

Just before filming Practical Magic, Nicole Kidman spent over a year working on Stanely Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut opposite her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

In his widely illustrious career spanning more than five decades, Steven Spielberg has begot a cornucopia of critically acclaimed films.

There is a list of great many things on Tom Cruise’s daily planner that he needs to accomplish, preferably before sundown. One of those things does not include being insulted for his already heavily criticized movie – Mission: Impossible II – 24 years after its release. However, Carrie Coon missed the memo on the subject since it is only now that the actress has started binge-watching all of Ethan Hunt’s magnificent globe-trotting adventures.
Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One [Credit: Paramount Pictures]In the Mindhunter actress’s defense, Coon has been a very busy and well-versed actress herself. But given the niche genre that Tom Cruise’s movies appeal to – the action-hungry, adventure-loving audience – it never occurred to her to get acquainted with the spy franchise until very recently. After all, her co-worker and somewhat best friend Shea Wigham is in the final two installments of the IP.

Some movies and actors stick with you through the decades, leaving you with random moments of nostalgia that can occur at any time.
While the '80s have different levels of fame, perhaps the greatest gift it gave was The Brat Pack, a group of young, up-and-coming actors often seen on film together and occasionally off-screen.
What actors belong to the group varies by who you ask. Some people consider the members to be those listed by reporter David Blum in his now infamous 1985 article in the New York Magazine.
But 1980s Brat Pack fans have their own list of eight core members we grew up watching act together. It started with The Breakfast Club and then St. Elmo's Fire.
Now, they're on some of our favorite movies and series. But regardless of what they do, they're often still associated with belonging to the Brat Pack.

Across his career, Tom Cruise has made many all-time-great movies – from his early character drama work in A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire, to the high-flying Top Gun and its sequel Maverick, to… well, every Mission: Impossible movie. But in recent years, there’s been another Cruise movie that’s stood particularly tall – Edge Of Tomorrow, the alien-attack time-loop movie that sees Cruise get splattered again and again while trying to figure out how to beat the marauding ‘Mimics’ intent on taking over Earth. The film, directed by Doug Liman and co-starring Emily Blunt, sadly didn’t set the box office alight on release, but picked up a major following as a top-tier Cruise movie – and the star clearly agrees.

Despite big stars such as Henry Cavill and Ryan Gosling having blockbuster releases this year, the first half of 2024 seems to be a lackluster year for Hollywood. The industry has seen many sure-shot films bomb at the box office this year. While Dune: Part Two remains the highest-grossing film of the year, it was released in March.
Films such as The Fall Guy and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which were touted to be huge hits have all taken a huge loss at the box office, making studios reconsider their strategies. Making it worse is the success of small-budget films such as Tarot, which has become the year’s most profitable film with a $45 million box office against an $8 million budget.

“Let’s face it, I had a bad script,” director Michael Bay said on the commentary track of his debut feature film, Bad Boys. Bay isn’t wrong. Bad Boys relies on buddy comedy tropes already established in 1974’s Freebie and the Bean and 1982’s 48 Hrs., complete with nonsense plot points. “But I had real comic talent in my two stars.” Bay of course means Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Drawn from the popular sitcoms Martin and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Lawrence and Smith saved the movie from the clunky script with their easy chemistry and comic timing.
At one point, however, Bad Boys had two very different stars in mind with a comic chemistry unlike that of Lawrence and Smith.

The film, which was nominated for six Oscars, had some incredible aerial action, but not all of it was in the skies. Did you know that at the request of Cruise, a particularly stirring scene featuring Jennifer Connelly was reshot?
Connelly recently unveiled the cinematic alchemy that turned a potentially tedious moment into a standout scene under the fastidious eye of Cruise.
