Times have changed, and standards of humor have evolved. Thus, Saturday Night Live alum Dana Carvey has apologized to Sharon Stone for an “offensive” sketch when she hosted the show in 1992.
Carvey made his amends during Stone’s appearance on the Fly on the Wall With Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast.
Carvey called Stone “such a good sport” and said the comedy moment she appeared in, if aired today, “We would be literally arrested now.”
The sketch in question was titled Airport Security Sketch. Carvey was an Indian security guard and was part of a security team that instructed Stone to remove clothing in case she was carrying dangerous items.
“I want to apologize publicly for the security check sketch where I played an Indian man and we’re convincing Sharon, her character, or whatever, to take her clothes off to go through the security thing,” he said, adding,...

Dana Carvey is apologizing to Sharon Stone for the “offensive” Saturday Night Live sketch in 1992, which saw her taking her clothes off.
The actress made a recent appearance on the Fly on the Wall With Dana Carvey and David Spade podcast, where she recalled her time hosting the NBC sketch comedy show on April 11, 1992, following the release of her hit movie Basic Instinct.
During their conversation about some of the skits in that particular episode, Carvey pointed out how Stone “was such a good sport” because of “the comedy we did in 1992 with Sharon Stone, we would be literally arrested now.”
One controversial skit that Carvey brought up was the “Airport Security Sketch,” in which male airport security officers, including Carvey who appeared as an Indian security guard, made Stone remove one item of clothing at a time, claiming they needed to check to see if she was carrying anything dangerous.

Sharon Stone stopped by Dana Carvey and David Spade’s “Fly On The Wall” podcast to discuss the time she hosted “Saturday Night Live” back in April 1992 shortly after the release of her erotic blockbuster “Basic Instinct.” Stone remembered being “terrified” during the live taping as protestors stormed the stage seconds before her monologue. Six men were eventually arrested due to the incident. Stone said “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels “personally saved my life” when the protestors charged.
“I came out to do the monologue live, which is super scary, and a bunch of people started storming the stage saying they were going to kill me during the opening monologue,” Stone recalled. “The security that was in there froze because they never had seen anything like that happen. Lorne started screaming at [security], ‘What are you doing? Watching the fucking show?’ And Lorne started beating them up and pulling them back from the stage.

France’s most successful local film of all time is still Dany Boon’s entertaining send-up of North-South differences, Welcome to the Sticks, from 2008, which sold an unheard-of 20.5 million tickets in a country where even the biggest blockbusters rarely attract more than 5 million pairs of eyeballs. The films Boon has directed since then, Nothing to Declare (8 million admissions) and Superchondriac (5 million), have also been hits but saw diminishing box-office and creative returns and that trend unfortunately continues with his latest, R.A.I.D. Special Unit (Raid Dingue).

Daniel Radcliffe in the biggest domestic hit of 2011: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 In 2011, Hollywood movies should earn the major studios $10.2 billion at the North American box office. That's down 3.5% from 2010, according to Hollywood.com. An estimated 1.28 billion tickets have been sold this year, which represents a 4.4% decline from 2010 and the lowest figure since 1995, the year of the talking pig Babe and Mel Gibson's Braveheart, when admissions totaled 1.26 billion. Among the suggested reasons for the downturn there are some that make perfect sense and some that are ludicrous. The weak U.S. economy matched with high ticket prices is almost undeniably keeping people away from movie houses. In fact, that has happened in the past, most notably during the height of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, when the majority of the big Hollywood studios posted heavy losses. Indeed, several almost went bankrupt. The...

Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock, The Adventures of Tintin David Fincher/Rooney Mara/The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Has Good (Not Great) Opening Day: Box Office With Tom Cruise performing impossible stunts in Brad Bird's live-action Mission: Impossible IV – Ghost Protocol, Tintin's motion-captured stunts in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn may look a tad less compelling. At least in English-speaking North America. Whereas The Adventures of Tintin has grossed $239 million overseas, in the Us/Canada the adventure tale featuring the intrepid Belgian hero opened with a disappointing $2.3 million on Wednesday, Dec. 21, according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. (Tintin had already earned about $3.2 million in Quebec, where it opened on Dec. 9.) Tintin's top foreign market is France, where it has pulled in $53m; it's currently the fourth biggest 2011 release in that country, after local box-office hits Intouchables and Nothing to Declare,...

Variety has reported actress Marion Cotillard will star in “Rust and Bone,” a film based on a short story by Craig Davidson. The film is described as a mix of suspense and love by Variety. Jacques Audiard will be at the helm for the project. His last directed film project was with 2009’s “A Prophet.” His directorial film credits also included “The Beat That My Heart Skipped,” “Read My Lips” and “A Self-Made Hero.” “There are simply no words for me to express my joy at being on board Jacques’ next film as he is one of the most talented and inspiring directors today,” said Hengameh Panahi, a producer of the film. Cotillard will be seen in the upcoming Christopher Nolan-directed film “The Dark Knight Rises” next year. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for “La Vie En Rose.” Her other film credits included “Inception,” “Big Fish” and “Nine.

Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies, Inception) is set to star in film coming Rust and Bone which is set to directed by Jacques Audiard who helmed the film A Prophet. The film is based on a series of shorts stories of the same name written by Craig Davidson. Audiard has brought on A Prophet co-writer Thomas Bidegain to adapt the the story into a screenplay. Matthias Schoenarts (Bullhead), Celine Sallette (House of Tolerance) and Bouli Lanners (Nothing to Declare) are set to co-star.
The film will have a budget of $22 million dollars, and the story is described as a having a "mix of suspense and love." but according to the description of the story it's definitely a lot more interesting, and hardcore than that little description. This sounds like it's going to make a hell of a film, and Cotillard is a great actress, and she's going to be awesome in it.

We won't waste too much time on the American box office today as it's the usual stories: an animated film tops the charts (don't make me say the name), Bridesmaid barely dipped and Midnight in Paris is zooming up the "all time Woody Allen lists". On this last bit I wish we had "adjusted for inflation" charts at the ready. Those inevitable stories about it passing Hannah and Her Sisters at the box office are going to be annoying because $40 million in 1986 is a helluva lot more ticket-buying action than $41 million in 2011, you know? I'm guessing that Annie Hall, which really captured mainstream attention, would reign supreme if you adjusted for inflation. [updated: yep, Annie Hall is #1]
And yes I normally do a new drawing for the box office but I hate drawing cars and the only picture I'd like to conjure in that realm is Cars 2's "Mater" squished flat in a compactor.

The 15th City of Lights, City of Angels, a festival with both a handy acronym, Col•Coa, and a winning subtitle, "A Week of French Film Premieres in Hollywood," has opened with Philippe Le Guay's Service Entrance and closes on Sunday with Dany Boon's Nothing to Declare. In all, 34 features and 26 shorts will be screened, and we're teaming up with the festival to present five of those shorts for free. All five have been made by students of La fémis in Paris (whose alumni, by the way, include Laurent Cantet, Costa-Gavras, Claire Denis, Louis Malle, Arnaud Desplechin, Claude Miller, François Ozon and Alain Resnais).

'French cinema's obsession? France'
Outside France, French cinema is still regarded as upscale and arthouse. Our films are renowned for their limpid lack of action, which French cineastes proudly contrast with whizz-bang Hollywood fare. It's a hangover from the 1950s, when the Nouvelle Vague's unique and sophisticated aesthetic was admired all over the world.
Yet French cinema has another, much more commercially successful side, one that is far removed from Godard or Truffaut. Last year's biggest French-made box-office hit in France was Guillaume Canet's sprawling comedy drama Les Petits Mouchoirs (Little White Lies); only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows got more derrieres on seats. This year, Rien à Déclarer (Nothing to Declare), directed by the humourist Dany Boon, has sold almost 8m tickets.
These hits are often characterised by a shift of scenery from the capital to the provinces, and many echo a political debate that's been...

While it fell short of first place domestically, I Am Number Four inched past Black Swan to claim the top spot at the foreign box office over the weekend. The King's Speech had yet another strong showing, True Grit played decently in a few new territories, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader leveraged a solid opening in Japan to reach a much-anticipated milestone. I Am Number Four earned $17.8 million from around 50 percent of the international markets, pushing its two-week total to $21.9 million. The movie opened in first place in Russia and Australia with $3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, though it settled for third in the United Kingdom ($2.6 million) and South Korea ($1.7 million). This weekend, the sci-fi adventure expands in to Mexico, Hong Kong and Taiwan.Black Swan added $17.5 million to bring its formidable foreign total to $122.4 million. Its top debut came in South Korea, where it placed second with $2.2 million.

Black Swan extended its impressive foreign run with another first place finish this weekend, trumping chart regulars The King's Speech and Tangled. Paramount movies No Strings Attached and True Grit had their highest-grossing weekends so far, though their respective genres held them back a bit. Paul got off to a strong start in the United Kingdom thanks at least in part to the presence of popular British actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Darren Aronofsky's ballet thriller netted another $17.6 million from 39 markets for an foreign total of $97.9 million. It opened in first place in Spain with $2.9 million and had a solid $1.5 million launch in Italy. Black Swan also dipped just 18 percent to $4.1 million in star Vincent Cassel's native France, and held the top spot in Paris and the surrounding suburbs according to distributor 20th Century Fox. On Monday, the movie passed $200 million worldwide (domestic plus foreign). The King's Speech...

Black Swan is proving to not only be a surprise hit domestically, but also a major draw overseas as well: the Darren Aronofsky-directed ballet drama inched ahead of chart regulars The Green Hornet and Tangled to take the top spot at the foreign box office over the weekend. French comedy Rien a Declarer (Nothing to Declare) was once again a strong presence, while The King's Speech reached a few milestones on its already-impressive run. Black Swan earned $19.4 million from 34 territories for a foreign total of $72.6 million. It opened in third place in France and Mexico with $4.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and also had strong holdover performances in Germany ($2 million), the United Kingdom ($1.7 million) and Russia ($1.7 million). Its worldwide (domestic plus foreign) total now rests north of $172 million, and with openings in Italy, Spain and a handful of other countries next weekend it should be able to reach $200 million in the near future.

David Furnish and Elton John have a hit on their hands and box office takings are up on last year. Impossible? Both are true
The winner
Twelve years after it unveiled its first movie Women Talking Dirty, David Furnish and Elton John's production company Rocket Pictures has finally come good with animation Gnomeo and Juliet, a bonafide hit with £2.92m in three days at the UK box office.
While Women Talking Dirty and Rocket's second attempt It's a Boy Girl Thing suggested that producer Furnish was, in American parlance, not ready for primetime, Gnomeo & Juliet indicates that hard lessons have now been learned. Given the film's commercially appealing outcome, it's reasonable to assume that the successive contributions by a total of nine screenwriters saw the long-in-development film gradually come into focus. Credit goes to director/co-writer Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2) and the producer team that patiently shepherded the film into production over many years.

Dany Boon's winsome comedy of life on the French-Belgian border gets lost in translation
Dany Boon is the king of French comedy – the creator of broad, jaunty capers that lord it over the homeland and then sputter and drown on crossing the Channel. Nothing to Declare, like his 2008 hit Welcome to the Sticks, is full of small-town buffoons and hyperventilating bureaucrats. On this occasion, Boon's bozos are stationed on the Franco-Belgian border, where they trade insults across the checkpoint and toil to prevent the flow of contraband. Nothing must enter and nothing must exit, and this winsome, complacent affair wears its isolationist badge with pride.

With one of its best weekends so far, Tangled placed first at the foreign box office for the fourth time in the past month. The big story, though, occurred in France, where local comedy Rien a Declarer (Nothing to Declare) dominated with one of the top openings ever there. The Green Hornet, The King's Speech and Black Swan expanded to new locations and held their ground. For the first weekend in a long time, it appears that the box office was nearly on par with last year, when Avatar led with $79.4 million. Playing at around 85 percent of the international marketplace, Tangled added $23.7 million to bring its impressive foreign total to $285.1 million. The fairy tale had great first place debuts in Spain ($5.7 million), Sweden ($1.8 million) and Norway ($936,000). It also held well in the United Kingdom, dipping just nine percent to $7.4 million. Tangled has earned over $477 million worldwide (domestic plus foreign), and,...

English language films are increasingly coming out of the major non English language territories but local product is impacting sales on Us films internationally. Business was quickly wrapped up but it was done with a healthy number of buys reported. Lower prices have become accepted but the market must have product as this event proved.

SYDNEY-- The Seven Network's breakout local production Border Security quickly has become the top-rated program in Seven's slate of what CEO David Leckie has christened "observational" documentaries. Camera crews each week follow customs, immigration and quarantine officers working in Australia's airports, coastal waters and mailing centers as they deal with possible drug runners, terrorists, illegal immigrants and harmful pests and disease among the 10 million people who come into Australia each year. The concept for the program is not new -- the U.K.'s Airport and New Zealand's Border Patrol came before it -- but it's a format refined by Seven's in-house production team, helped along by unprecedented access provided by Australia's three main government security agencies, that has Australian TV audiences tuning in in droves.
SYDNEY -- Australian independent TV production company Screentime has established a new media content division and hired Seven Network producer Greg Thorpe to head it up. Screentime director Bob Campbell said in a statement that the new division will develop content for mobile and online platforms and will integrate online and mobile applications and extensions into programs for the free-to-air and pay networks. Thorpe spent nine years as a producer working for Seven on such recent hits as Border Security and My Restaurant Rules.
