  • Sony Le PLEX HD to air tribute-movies of Hollywood actors

    MUMBAI: This February, Sony Le PLEX HD will pay tribute to those well-known actors who passed away too soon into their career. From Heath Ledger to Paul Walker, Hollywood has lost some gems too early, leaving fans and critics disheartened and wanting for more. `WatchIt’s 9O’Talk themed ‘The Tribute’ will feature five great movies with a common theme for the week starting Feb. 20, 2017.

    Robin Williams is another name in the list. After playing iconic characters in movies like `Jumanji’, `Hook’ and `Mrs. Doubtfire’, he garnered a massive fan following all around the world. His death left a void in the entertainment world.

    Another shocker that came to Hollywood was when the young heart-throb Paul Walker lost his life in the tragic car accident while shooting for `Fast & Furious 7’. The remaining part of the movie had to be created with the help of VFX and body doubles.

    Other names in this tribute list include Philip Seymour Hoffman and Chris Farley. While Philip died during production of the blockbuster film `The Hunger Games –Mockingjay Part II’, Chris (known for his comic timing in Saturday Night Live) passed away leaving quite a few unfinished projects and a lot of sorrowful fans behind.

    Amy Adams breaks down while remembering Philip Seymour Hoffman

    MUMBAI: Hollywood actress Amy Adams, in the weeks leading into the Oscars, filmed an interview for Inside the Actors Studio, an American television program hosted by James Lipton.

Hoffman died at the age of 46 from an apparent heroin overdose on 2 February.

    The 39-year old Adams worked with Philip Seymour Hoffman on two of her most acclaimed movies: Doubt, in 2008, and The Master in 2012. “I wish you all could get a chance to work with him,” she told the assembled students. “He was beautiful. He’s a beautiful spirit and he had this unique ability to see people; to really see them. Not look through them. He just really saw people”, she explained tearfully to the students in the audience. “I just really loved him, and I know so many people did,” Adams added through sobs, “I just don’t know how much more I can talk about it right now, sorry.”

     

    The actor then apologised and said she wouldn’t be able to go on talking about him.

     

    After making her mark in the industry with memorable appearances in films such as Junebug, Enchanted, Doubt, and The Fighter, Amy Adams discusses her multifaceted career leading up to her standout performance in Columbia Pictures’ American Hustle. Her lead role as a con-artist in the Academy Award nominated film earned Adam’s her first Golden Globe win and fifth Academy Award Nomination.
