Colin Trevorrow Is Donating His Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Residuals To A Great Cause

Having already left his mark on the Jurassic Park franchise with 2015’s Jurassic World, Colin Trevorrow was supposed to jump to a galaxy far, far away and direct Star Wars: Episode IX, which we now know as The Rise of Skywalker. Due to creative differences, Trevorrow ended up departing Episode IX, but he’ll get residuals from this Star Wars movie, and he plans on giving that money to a great cause rather than keep it for himself.

Colin Trevorrow has announced that he’ll be donating his Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker profits to the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice, which is located in Berkshire, England. In a statement to Deadline, Trevorrow attributed his decision to donate the money as a way to honor Star Wars mastermind George Lucas. Trevorrow said:

Fiona Devine, the CEO and co-founder of the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice, said in her own statement that she and everyone else at the hospice center are “blown away by this incredibly generous gesture,” and that Colin Trevorrow’s donation is the equivalent of paying for a nurse for a year.

It was announced in August 2015, just two months after Jurassic World’s release and four months before Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out, that Colin Trevorrow would direct Star Wars: Episode IX. Had that unfolded as planned, then each movie in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy would have been helmed by a different filmmaker, with J.J. Abrams handling The Force Awakens and Rian Johnson handling The Last Jedi.

Set one year after The Last Jedi, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will chronicle the final battles between The Resistance and The First Order, as well as bring an end to the ancient conflict between the Jedi and Sith. As for Colin Trevorrow, he’s gearing up to direct Jurassic World 3, which he also co-wrote with Emily Carmichael.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters on December 20, so keep checking back with CinemaBlend for more coverage. In the meantime, find out what movies are coming out next year with our 2020 release schedule.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him...

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu...
