Just learned Aldis Hodge played Samuel L. Jackson’s nephew in DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE (with is a fucking great movie, btw). Now I can’t stop thinking of a legacy sequel in the tradition of CREED, with Hodge and Jackson reprising their roles.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
