Films

If asked whether superheroines need to have perfect hair and deep cleavage, we would say that they don’t. However, filmmakers want to impress the audience with spectacular looks so much that they sometimes ignore logic. We decided to put together the movies in which female characters wore mind-blowing, but extremely inappropriate costumes.

Stepping into the shoes of a character can be a tremendously complex process. Sometimes it requires lots of time to study and prepare for the role. But when actors take part in films based on real events and have to play real people, things can get even harder. They’re no longer free to play a character in whichever way they see fit; they have to be as close as possible to an individual with actual personality, flaws, and qualities, and who lived at a specific moment in history.

Beauty standards change as quickly as fashion trends. Not that long ago, thin eyebrows were super trendy, while today, we have totally different ideas of what’s pretty. These trends can be easily found in everyday celebrities who demonstrate perfect faces and smiles. However, there are some famous people who don’t care much about fashion trends and have opted for natural beauty and charisma. And their unusual appearance has helped them earn the love of viewers from all over the world.

Only about 1-2% of the population of the planet has natural red hair which is why this hair color is really noticeable and it makes people unique. In Hollywood, there are actresses with red hair and they are incredibly charming.

Movies and romance go hand in hand. And that’s how most evergreen shows are born — with a couple that has the power to bewitch us with their chemistry. Although the stories of these duos remain the same, this is not the case with the actors. Like for all of us, time has taken its toll and drawn wrinkles on their faces. Some of them a little less, and some more.

Decades have passed since the heyday of the hit TV show Charmed, which captivated audiences with its blend of magic, sisterhood, and supernatural adventures. During its run, the actors were some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Now, with time marching on, it's fascinating to revisit these celebs and see how they've evolved over the years.

Costumes, makeup, and computer graphics can sometimes do such wonders that we can’t even recognize the most famous actors until we read the credits. You can watch a film twice and not realize that you’ve seen Keanu Reeves, Vincent Cassel, or Stanley Tucci.

Sometimes, cartoons can touch on very serious problems just like movies. Directors and scriptwriters also pay attention to little details, plot twists, and characters. And some curious moments can only be noticed by viewers that have a lot of experience doing so.

Even though all movies are scripted, actors use all the tricks in the book to sell us on their on-screen love stories. What is the best way to make a scene as genuine as possible? Improvise, of course! It can be intimidating to take your co-star by surprise and lay an unexpected kiss on them, but in almost all cases, the reward justifies the risk.

The screen version of a favorite book can disappoint a person greatly if the filmmakers decide to make significant changes to the plot. The impression from the movie can also be ruined by changing the appearance of characters: for example, when casting managers give the role to actors who don’t look like the book character they are playing and also don’t match them when it comes to age or appearance.

Some scenes in popular cartoons are addressed more toward adults, than kids. That’s why internet users love looking out for these sneaky little details in animated movies and spotting interesting features and deeds done by the characters.

There are many ways to get a starring role. Some actors are selected during castings, while others are invited due to their popularity, which is what happened to Kate Winslet after Titanic. But not all auditions end successfully, or actors may not agree to offers made by film directors or producers. For example, Russell Crowe refused to star in Lord of the Rings because his intuition told him so.

Many factors come into play when producers are casting actors for a big hit like Harry Potter. These choices are often so well-made that the viewer creates a powerful relationship with the character. This powerful relationship makes it hard to dissociate the image of the actor and their on-screen role. For instance, can you imagine a Harry Potter played by someone other than Daniel Radcliffe, or a Hermione not played by Emma Watson? Well, even though many of us think that these actors were “born” to play these roles, it is possible that on several occasions the producers did not agree at first and they may have even chosen someone else. It’s hard to believe, but true.

Signing autographs, endless photoshoots, and receiving long-awaited awards are not what the ordinary life of an actor or actress consists of. Their reality is much more prosaic: actors adhere to strict diets or gain weight, learn new skills (that can be fun, or not), and oftentimes work in conditions that are far from comfortable.

It is possible to write a book about how famous superheroes survived in the most extreme of situations, for example, Robinson Crusoe and Rambo. But are all of the methods they used really safe and effective?

Ariel, Mulan, Pocahontas — all of these characters have been familiar to us since childhood. We are so used to seeing them in a certain way, we don’t even notice the inaccuracies in their image. For example, Belle should’ve worn a giant powdered wig and Jasmine should be walking the streets with her head covered.

Beauty is a multifaceted and constantly-changing thing. The flow is the same as in the fashion world — while thin brows and impressive makeup were trendy yesterday, today, society appreciates a more natural look. This is clearly reflected in the film industry and with pop stars — while some try hard to look younger and follow fashion trends, others, on the contrary, adhere to a chosen style over many years and oftentimes end up being remembered by viewers even more.

The Harry Potter book and film series have conquered the hearts of millions of people all over the world. Recently, HBO announced that they are planning to make a TV show about the young wizard’s adventures. We don’t know yet who will star in the series, so we decided to make up our own cast with the help of AI.

Actors often work on a movie for a few months or even years. So it’s no wonder they may develop feelings for their fellow actors. But these feelings are not always mutual, and sometimes, they have to leave the set with their hearts broken.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to ponder the mysteries of human nature even whilst you’re relaxing, watching a detective film might be just the perfect pasttime.

In the last several years, various live-action reboots of our favorite cartoons have aired, bringing the characters of our childhood back on screen. While many actors played fictional characters during this time, it seems like some actors were born for the roles of cartoon characters. Using AI, we imagined how 15 actors and actresses that resemble these characters a lot would look like actually playing them. And they turned out to be so good we can’t pick a favorite.

It often happens that a movie needs to tell the story of a character starting from their youth or childhood. In this case, makeup can’t help, so several actors need to be cast. And it’s not just the appearance, but also the behavior that needs to be acted out. This is a difficult task, and these roles often become breakthroughs for young actors. But of course, big stars can also be cast.

It is often said that “Truth is stranger than fiction.” And this saying seems to work very well for several of The Twilight Saga’s actors, who are living such beautiful love stories, that they even surpass the romances they had onscreen.

When cartoon designers use animals or other creatures to give life to their characters, they grant them so much personality that it’s inevitable to see them as human-like beings. So much so, that it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine them as our next-door neighbors (which cartoon character would you pick as your neighbor?). But what would they look like if they were actually human?
