Harrison Ford Revealed Why He'll Never, Ever Retire
The Age of Adaline actor was asked by Variety if he'll ever retire, and his answer is a good one, like, yeah, I get it.
"No. That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts."
Old people... for old people parts. Right!
The replies to a tweet by Discussing Film about the quote are pretty good.
One person called it "High IQ thinking."
Another person said, "Yeah his point is valid."
And this person complimented his prose: "God he's a poet."

‘South Park' Mocks a Puppy-Shooting Kristi Noem and JD Vance Offers to Rub Baby Oil on Satan In Wild New Episode
In the second episode of 'South Park' Season 27, United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem leads ICE in a raid on the local production of 'Dora the Explorer Live!' After losing his job as counselor of South Park Elementary, Mr. Mackey is out of options to make his monthly 'nut,' which adds up to $8,000 a month. His banker suggests he join ICE, which offers a '$100,000 salary' and a '$50,000 signing bonus.' More from Variety 'South Park' Is So Effective at Mocking Trump Because It Mastered His Own Brand of Insult Comedy U.S. Homeland Security Is Now Using 'South Park' to Promote ICE's Website Amid the Show's Takedown of Donald Trump Spike Lee, Adam McKay and 2,300 More WGA Members Sign Letter Blasting Trump's 'Authoritarian Assault' on Free Speech After some brief deliberation, Mackey heads to ICE HQ. They let him join without a second thought and shuffle him into a room for an orientation video featuring none Noem, who is now their leader. 'Welcome to the team, recruits. I'm Kristi Noem, head of Homeland Security,' she says. 'A few years ago, I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what's important means doing what's hard.' The video then hard cuts to Noem jumping out of an ICE vehicle and gunning down an innocent puppy in the street. 'Now, we'll ask the same determination of you. Because detaining and questioning people is never easy,' she adds, before the video cuts to Noem shooting another puppy. After his orientation, Mackey goes to raid a location 'that might be filled with Illegals': a local production of 'Dora the Explorer Live!' As Mackey and Noem bust into the theater, the audience scrambles in panic. Noem tries to calm the crowd. 'We're just here for questioning. Cooperate, and nothing bad– holy shit!' Noem screams, before spotting a service dog in the crowd and shooting it. Mackey does such a good job with ICE that Noem sends him to Mar-a-Lago, where Donald Trump is waiting with a toddler-sized JD Vance. After Trump names Mackey the new head of Homeland Security, he brings the former school counselor to his room for a threesome with himself and Satan. The babyfied Vance offers to lend a hand, 'Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan's asshole, boss?' Even before it was released, ICE took notice of Wednesday's show. The X account for the United States Department of Homeland Security used a still from the episode's teaser to promote ICE's website, which includes application portals for various agency roles like criminal investigator and deportation officer. The official 'South Park' X account responded to the post by writing, 'Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks.' The retort from 'South Park' references the White House's response to the Season 27 premiere, in which they claimed the show 'hasn't been relevant for 20 years.' 'The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after 'South Park' for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to Variety following the Season 27 premiere. 'Just like the creators of 'South Park,' the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows.'

Neon sets Oscar path for latest Cannes winner ‘The Secret Agent': Everything to know about the thriller
Could this be the next Anora for Neon? Brazilian political thriller The Secret Agent won four prizes at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival: writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho won the FIPRESCI Prize, the AFCAE Art House Cinema Award, and Best Director, while star Wagner Moura won Best Actor. More from Gold Derby TIFF reveals its compelling documentary slate featuring Paula Deen, champion whistlers and balloonists 'Deliciously twisted,' 'murderously enjoyable': 'Wednesday' Season 2 reviews surpass Season 1 by double digits Neon picked it up for North American distribution at the festival, along with Palme d'Or winner It Was Just an Accident and second-place Grand Prix winner Sentimental Value, the latter of which is likely Neon's strongest awards contender this year (it's currently sitting at #2 in Gold Derby's combined odds for a Best Picture nomination). The independent distributor hopes to replicate the success it had with Anora, which went from taking Cannes' top prize to winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. The Secret Agent appears to be Neon's third-strongest contender coming out of the festival. Now, the company has set awards season release dates for the film. It will open in New York on Nov. 26, followed by a Los Angeles release on Dec. 5, with a national rollout to follow, per Variety. It is also set to screen at the New York Film Festival this fall. Neon is hoping The Secret Agent will continue its streak of turning Cannes hits into major award winners. Here's what to know about the film as its path comes into focus. What's it about? The Secret Agent is a political thriller set in the waning years of the Brazilian dictatorship. Moura plays a man trying to evade capture by government authorities. Critics describe it as a serious film with a mischievous sense of humor and a digressive narrative structure. Here's the film's official synopsis: 'Brazil, 1977. Marcelo, a technology expert in his early 40s, is on the run. He arrives in Recife during carnival week, hoping to reunite with his son but soon realizes that the city is far from being the non-violent refuge he seeks.' Who's in it? Moura — who is best known to American audiences for his roles as drug kingpin Pablo Escobar on Narcos, a performance that earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2016, and as journalist Joel in Civil War — leads a cast that also includes Carlos Francisco, Tânia Maria, Robério Diógenes, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Gabriel Leone, and Udo Kier. What are its awards odds? The Secret Agent is a longshot contender for Best Picture. It's currently sitting at 15th in Gold Derby's nomination odds, but that relatively high ranking doesn't tell the whole story, as it's 18 percentage points behind #14, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Mendonça Filho is in a similar position in Best Original Screenplay, as he's at #8 but 18 points behind the next contender. He's at #14 in Best Director odds, which puts him firmly outside of the ranks of top-tier contenders. The Secret Agent is a more likely contender in Best Actor and Best International Film. In addition to the Cannes win, Moura has earned the best reviews of his career for his performance. 'He's always been a good actor, but Mendonça Filho makes him a movie star,' The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney wrote in his review of the film. Moura is currently sitting at #8 in the Best Actor odds, which in this race is within striking distance of the top five spots, especially if Neon pushes him hard. Gold Derby doesn't have Best International Film odds yet, but The Secret Agent is the third-ranked international film in Best Picture odds, behind Sentimental Value and It Was Just an Accident, which bodes well for its chances.

Mel Gibson's 'Passion Of The Christ' Sequel Split Into Two Movies
One of the most anticipated sequel projects in Hollywood is the follow-up to Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ . Gibson is set to return as director for the sequel to his 2004 biblical epic which became the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time for decades at the domestic box office until the release of Deadpool & Wolverine . Fans have been hearing plenty of chatter regarding the film's sequel, which was dubbed The Resurrection of the Christ , and details have been mixed regarding production start dates and release dates. Now we have a clearer idea regarding this timetable and when fans will be able to see not just one but two follow-ups to The Passion of the Christ . As shared below, Variety has confirmed that the two new films, titled The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One and The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two , will both be released in 2027: '' The Resurrection of the Christ Part One ' is slated for Good Friday, March 26, while ' Part Two ' is set for 40 days later on Ascension Day, May 6. Lionsgate will release the films in theaters.' It's become a popular trend in recent years for a blockbuster-sized sequel to be split into more than one film – as we'll now seeing with the plans to continue The Passion of the Christ . While it certainly wasn't expected for Mel Gibson's follow-up to The Passion of the Christ , it does suggest that fans will get a rather extensive moviegoing experience for this long-awaited continuation. This lines up with Gibson's previous statements regarding how risky and ambitious the film is intended to be. Many details regarding the projects are still being kept under wraps, and now that there are two films on the way, it's likely that the secrecy will continue. Fortunately, with the short gap between releases, fans won't have long to wait after the first sequel's release to see the second. This should make some of the wait easier for those interested. Jim Caviezel is said to return as Jesus in the film. Randall Wallace and Gibson are both penning the follow-ups, and so we'll have to wait and see what other details will come our way moving towards the productions of both sequels, courtesy of Lionsgate. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates as we have them.
