Sean Astin On Which Lord Of The Rings Scene Always Makes Him Cry
Goonies and Rudy actor Sean Astin starred in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings series as the ever-faithful and genuine Samwise Gamgee. The character appears in a number of emotional and impactful scenes as he helps Frodo to Mordor to destroy the One Ring, but there is one scene in particular that always makes Astin choke up.
Speaking to CinemeBlend, Astin said he always tears up during the scene in Return of the King when Aragorn expresses his gratitude to Sam and the rest of the Hobbits for their part in destroying the One Ring. It’s an emotional scene on its own, but for Astin in particular, it has a special resonance because it was the final scene he filmed.
“The last [scene] we shot was a scene that always makes me cry in the movie, when Aragorn turns and looks at us and says, ‘Oh, my friends, you bow to no one.’ That was the last shot of the four Hobbits. My last shot,” Astin said.

Xbox Game Pass Playfully Teases Mysterious New Game On Twitter
The Xbox Game Pass Twitter account is up to some shenanigans again. Back in September, the account posted an email exchange that not-so-subtly implied that Doom Eternal was coming to the service soon, and it joined the console Xbox Game Pass on October 1. Now, the account is teasing another big addition, but we can’t quite tell what game they’re referencing.
Honestly we have no idea what gif or sinister red light Melissa is referring to pic.twitter.com/QaOK7jZNkM

A “gif with a sinister red light” certainly points to Control Ultimate Edition, since that game uses red and orange hues to represent its antagonist, the Hiss. In the Doom Eternal tweet, internet sleuths quickly discovered that inverting the image’s colors revealed a message that all but confirmed that Eternal was the game being discussed. In this tweet, flipping the colors reveals a very different hidden message: “You really think we’d put the tease here again?”
It’s certainly possible that the game is something other than Control–after all, red lights aren’t exactly uncommon in big video games–but our money is certainly there. Control Ultimate Edition is the next-gen version of Remedy’s paranoid action game, and includes both of its expansions. However, it will only be available as a free upgrade for players who bought the Ultimate Edition on PS4 or Xbox One.
Extraction 2: Avengers Director Joe Russo Reveals When The Movie May Start Filming
Extraction, the Chris Hemsworth-starring action movie for Netflix written by Joe and Anthony Russo (The Avengers), is getting a sequel, and now we know when it may begin shooting. Joe Russo told ComicBook that the plan, as it stands currently, is to start cameras rolling at some point in 2021.
Plans could change, of course, and it all depends on when the script is finished–which it is not currently.
“We’re in the script phase right now but we’re hoping to shoot that sometime next year. And then you know … I’m super excited, Hemsworth’s super excited, Netflix is excited, so it’s really just a function of getting the script done,” Joe Russo said.

Darth Vader Actor David Prowse Passes Away
David Prowse, the actor inside Darth Vader’s suit in the original Star Wars trilogy, has passed away. He was 85.
Star Wars creator George Lucas said in a statement, “David brought a physicality to Darth Vader that was essential for the character. He made Vader leap off the page and on to the big screen, with an imposing stature and movement performance to match the intensity and undercurrent of Vader’s presence.”
