37 Times Actors Snuck In Hilarious Little Moments And Lines And The Directors Actually Decided To Keep Them In
1. In Little Miss Sunshine, there's a hilarious scene where a cop pulls over the Hoovers and finds porn magazines Edwin bought earlier in the film, leading Richard to awkwardly act like they belong to him. In a funny little moment, he murmurs " while the cop looks through the magazine. This was an ad-lib that the director liked and kept in. 2. This funny scene from Dead To Me Season 1 where Judy and Jen talk about Steve's penis was improvised. "I feel like in one take they didn't quite get a line right, but then they ended up starting to talk about his penis. It was so funny and not something I would ever have written, you know?" Series creator Liz Feldman said. "They just riffed on his penis and it was so funny because it felt so real. It felt like two friends. I feel like that was the first time that it really landed." It actually prompted them to add more improv into the show. 3. Captain Holt's "Hot damn!" from Brooklyn Nine-Nine — after he correctly guesses why Amy is late — was unscripted. It was such a different moment from the usually calm, cool, and collected character that it quickly became beloved. 4. According to Miffy Englefield, who played Sophie in The Holiday, the Mr. Nakin-Head scene was mostly improvised. Jude Law, in particular, improvised the part where Graham pretends to have a bad reaction to smoking, then tells his daughters that smoking is bad. 5. The funny, tiny moment when Tom Hanks accidentally closed the door on his balloons (while also carrying a bag of fish that narrowly avoids meeting the same fate) in You've Got Mail wasn't scripted – it happened completely by accident. Running with it, Hanks opened the door and exclaimed, "Good thing it wasn't the fish!" 6. Lamorne Morris's Theodore K Mullins monologue on New Girl was improvised. In this case, the writers actually came to Morris and asked if he had any voices. "I don't know why, I started just thinking over-the-top, dramatic—like if Tyler Perry were to shoot a movie before he was 'Tyler Perry,' what those scenes would be." During the "Secrets" episode, director David Wain told him to improvise, and Morris ran with the voice. It ended up being one of Winston's most memorable early scenes. 7. This is a much smaller moment, but Jake Johnson added to the classic "gave you cookie, got me cookie" scene from New Girl. The original script said, "You gave me a cookie, so I got you a cookie! Gave-me-cookie, got-you-cookie! Okay? We're even!" Johnson kept repeating the words and getting more and more upset, making it even more memorable, and many people's favorite Nick and Schmidt scene. 8. Much of the hilarious and adorable Crazy Stupid Love scene where Hannah sleeps over at Jacob's — without the two actually sleeping together — was improvised. Writer Dan Fogelman called it his favorite scene, though at the time, he was pissed they were adding things in. "I thought everyone had lost their minds and that none of it would be in the movie — I left set early, irritated." However, he later changed his tune. "I'm a dope." 9. In Abbott Elementary, Sheryl Lee Ralph improvised the line "sweet baby Jesus and the grown one, too!" It's actually something she says with a friend of hers. "Norman and I will be up there working on something, and I'll say, 'Oh. Sweet Baby Jesus,' and he says, 'And the grown one too.' It's just something we always say, and when I was given the opportunity, I just said it," Ralph said. 10. Janelle James also improvised her hilarious zombie line in the show. "I couldn't believe they kept it. And they did. And it was hilarious, so I'm so happy," she told EW. 11. Robin Williams improvised the line "Carpe Dentum! Seize the teeth!" when Mrs. Doubtfire's teeth fall into her wine and she tries to fish them out with a fork in Mrs. Doubtfire. 12. In How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, many of Andie's idiosyncrasies in the poker scene were just done in the moment by Kate Hudson. "She could have played that rather seriously, but she just went to town with it," said director Donald Petrie. "It's subtle stuff, but you see it all." This includes Andie making Ben blow his nose in front of everyone... 13. ...Andie crying over the "love fern" dying... 14. ...And Andie throwing the vegetables on the veggie plate. 15. In Don't Look Up, Ariana Grande improvised many of her lines. Director Adam McKay said she added this line in the concert scene with Kid Cudi. "That was her riffing on the first scratch track of the melody, and the second I heard it, I was like, 'Oh, that's going in the movie.'" It actually became one of his favorite scenes. "You have pretty much the biggest pop star in the world singing beautifully, 'we're all gonna die.' Every time I see it, it's just this hilarious cognitive dissonance." 17. Dave Bautista improvised the hilarious "why is Gamora" line in Avengers: Infinity War, in the memorable scene where the Guardians meet Tony, Peter, and Dr. Strange. Marvel / Via 18. In The Avengers, the reason Tony Stark offers Bruce Banner a blueberry is that Robert Downey Jr. kept randomly bringing snacks to set and eating them during scenes. He just improvised offering Steve one. Marvel / Via 19. Billy Crystal improvised the oft-quoted part in When Harry Met Sally when he talks about pecan pie in a silly voice. Meg Ryan went with it — but not before laughing and looking off-camera, which you can see in the final scene. Columbia Pictures / Via 20. Cary Elwes wrote in his book that Billy Crystal improvised a ton in The Princess Bride. This includes one of his most famous lines about the "MLT." Act III Communications / Via Facebook: watch 21. In The Gray Man, Suzanne replying "I will gladly punch you in the dick" to Lloyd was improvised by Jessica Henwick. 'I got a couple of zingers in there," Henwick said. Netflix 22. In Season 3 of Stranger Things, Joseph Quinn improvised Eddie's line to Steve, "Don't ya, big boy." Netflix / Via 23. This is a tiny Stranger Things moment, but I find it hilarious. In the second season, Murray dropping his eggs and looking at Jonathan to say "oops" actually happened in the moment — it wasn't in the script, and actor Brett Gelman just went with it. If you watch the clip, you can actually see Natalia Dyer trying not to laugh. Netflix / Via 24. In The Adam Project, Ryan Reynolds improvised many of the film's funny lines when his character Adam meets his younger self. Like this one about his younger self having trouble understanding what "classified" means... Netflix / Via 25. ...and his wound "farting" when he coughs. Netlflix / Via 26. Taika Waititi improvised a ton of his lines in Free Guy, and many didn't make it in. One that did was his line about "Albuquerque Boiled Turkey." Screenwriter Matt Lieberman said, "There are 80 percent of his lines that are on a cutting room floor somewhere." 20th Century Studios / Via 27. John Cena improvised Peacemaker's rant about who Economos could've framed instead of his dad in Peacemaker. Steve Agee, who plays John Economos, said the original script mentioned Ariana Grande and maybe one other person, but that the director, James Gunn, told Cena to just start listing off people. There are outtakes where Cena lists even more people, if you're interested. HBO Max / Via 28. Catherine O'Hara improvised pronouncing "baby" in the strange way she did on Schitt's Creek, which became a running gag on the show. "I said 'bebe' as a joke or a mistake the first time," she told Vulture. "Once I hit on 'bebe' and got a laugh from the crew, that was it." Pop!TV / Via 29. In Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope, when Han Solo and Luke break in to save Leia and Han is pretending to be a stormtrooper, Harrison Ford improvised the awkward "how are you" moment — and it's one of the funniest moments in the film. Lucasfilm / Via 30. While Oliver and Charles are following Mabel in Only Murders in the Building, they start making jokes about getting STIs in Long Island. Oliver then launches into a song about it — this was improvised by Martin Short. Hulu 31. Many of Faye's one-liners in Euphoria were improvised by Chloe Cherry, including "you're probably fucking eating that ginger's ass"... HBO / Via 32. ...And when she asks Cal if he and Nate "fuck people together." HBO / Via 33. Andrew Garfield improvised the hilariously awkward "I love you guys" line that he tells the other two Spider-Men in No Way Home. Sony Pictures Releasing / Via 34. In The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Nicolas Cage improvised screaming, "Nic fuckiiiiiiiiing-ow-wow Cage!" Writer-director Tom Gormican recalled, "We call action on this thing, and we're watching the scene go down. I have no idea what's going to happen. He just does it. We call cut and take off the headphones, and Nic gets up, walks over to the monitors where we're sitting, 20 feet away, and he looks at us, and goes, 'I wanted it to be transcendent!'" Lionsgate / Via 35. In Loki, Tom Hiddleston improvised the moment when he threw down his drink and yelled "another!" as a funny nod to a similar improvised moment in Thor. Marvel/Disney+ / Via 36. One last Marvel one — in Black Panther,"Hey, Auntie" was an improvised line from Michael B. Jordan. Marvel / Via 37. And finally, one of my favorite TV lines of all time is improvised — it's Chris Pratt's line about "network connectivity problems" in Parks and Recreation. NBC / Via What's your favorite improvised line or line that an actor suggested be added to a script? Let us know in the comments!

Holes: Greg Kinnear & 9 More Cast in Disney+ Reboot TV Show
Greg Kinnear and nine more actors have joined the cast of Disney+'s series. Holes is a young adult novel that was written by Louis Sachar and published in 1998. It was previously turned into a movie directed by Andrew Davis that was released by Walt Disney Pictures in April 2003. It starred Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Patricia Arquette, and Tim Blake Nelson. Disney is now rebooting Holes into a television show that comes from showrunner Liz Phang and writer Alina Mankin. In addition to Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine) as the Warden, the cast of Holes includes Aidy Bryant (Shill, Saturday Night Live) as Sissy, Shay Rudolph (Lethal Weapon) as Hayley, Flor Delis Alicea as Queenie, Anire Kim Amoda (The Penguin) as Thumbelina, Noah Cottrell (The Spiderwick Chronicles) as Kitch, Iesha Daniels as Mars, Sophie Dieterlen as Sticky, Alexandra Doke (City on Fire) as Eyeball, and Maeve Press (Theresa Is a Mother) as Shrimp. 'Holes follows Hayley (Rudolph), a teenage girl sent to a detention camp where the ruthless Warden (Kinnear) forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious purpose,' the synopsis for the series reads, via Deadline. This slightly differs from Sachar's book, as that story featured a male protagonist, Stanley Yelnats, who was sent to a juvenile detention camp for boys in Texas that was run by a female warden. Phang and Mankin both serve as executive producers on the show alongside Drew Goddard and Sarah Esberg of Goddard Textiles and Jac Schaeffer. Schaeffer will direct the pilot episode, while Andrea Massaro serves as co-executive producer. Walden Media, which produced the 2003 Holes movie, will also executive produce the pilot, as will Mike Medavoy. A Disney+ premiere date for the Holes television show has not yet been announced.

Boulder, Colorado, to be new home for the Sundance film festival
Boulder, Colorado, has been named as the new home for the Sundance film festival starting in 2027. The festival, which was started in 1978 by Robert Redford, will move from its home in Park City, Utah. Sundance brings more than 20,000 people a year to the ski town, which many had seen as too small to house something of this size. The cities in contention had been limited to Salt Lake City, Boulder and Cincinnati. Earlier today, Film Cincinnati's CEO, Kristen Schlotman, released a statement to say she was 'proud of how our city demonstrated its dynamic role within the film industry'. While the main home of the festival had been Park City, there has long been a component in Salt Lake City, with screenings and events, leading many to assume a closer move. A press release claims that Boulder offers 'small-town charm with an engaged community, distinctive natural beauty, and a vibrant arts scene'. 'What we've created is remarkably special and defining,' Redford said in a statement. 'As change is inevitable, we must always evolve and grow, which has been at the core of our survival. This move will ensure that the Festival continues its work of risk taking, supporting innovative storytellers, fostering independence, and entertaining and enlightening audiences.' Eugene Hernandez, the head of programming, said that Boulder was 'ready to embrace emerging and established global storytellers, our staff and volunteers, and, of course, global audiences'. The decision comes amid concern over anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in Utah targeting Pride flags. A state senator, Daniel McCay, has been targeting the community and the festival itself, claiming it promotes porn and 'alternative lifestyles' which do not fit with Utah's values. Earlier this year, a Colorado bill was introduced that would offer up to $34m in refundable tax credits for any film festival. The festival reached a 10-year deal with city officials. The festival has seen major premieres over the years including Little Miss Sunshine, Get Out, Juno, Reservoir Dogs and Call Me by Your Name. This year's festival saw a slower sales market than usual with many buzzy titles still awaiting acquisition.
