Sunday night the Tribeca Film Festival screened the documentary “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” a powerful look inside the troubled yet beautiful mind of deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

Through the full support of Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, Cobain’s family, and bandmates, director Brett Morgen (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”) spent seven years engrossed in cassette tapes, videos, and Cobain’s journals to make the first authorized film on the face of '90s grudge rock.

Morgen dug so deep, in fact, he uncovered something Love thought no longer existed.

“Somehow Brett found the sex tape,” Love admitted to the audience when she took the stage with Morgen following Sunday's screening.

The portion of “Montage of Heck” that explores the relationship between Cobain and Love is predominately of recordings Love's ex-boyfriend would shoot when he was over their house and home videos Cobain and Love shot themselves. And there’s a half-minute or so of Cobain and Love in bed together. There’s nothing graphic, but Love was shocked Morgen found it.

“Me and Kurt only had this one tape,” she said, “so we recorded over and over [on the same tape]. Everyone makes one sex tape once in their lives and we did.”

With an embarrassed look, Love added of Morgen, “I thought he’d never catch this and he caught it.”

“Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” is currently playing at the Tribeca Film Festival and will air on HBO May 4.

NOW WATCH: New HBO documentary reveals what controversial singer Kurt Cobain was really like

"Halo" is finally on your iPhone and iPad.

But wait! Don't get too excited: This isn't the "Halo" game you're used to, with a first-person view of iconic supersoldier "Master Chief" cutting down alien hordes.

Instead, it's two spinoff games previously available on Windows Phone and PC – "Halo: Spartan Strike" and "Halo: Spartan Assault" – finally arriving on the iPhone.

The games arrived on April 16, and are currently available as a $10 bundle. They otherwise cost $6 apiece.

Rather than focus on the lore of "Halo," or on the style of gameplay the "Halo" franchise is known for, the games feature an overhead perspective. You get a bird's eye view of the battlefield where your main character, a "Spartan" supersoldier, takes on gaggles of enemy aliens.

It looks like this:

Make no mistake: This is a "Halo" game in theme and style, but in no other way. It's more like classic arcade game "Robotron: 2084." And that's not a bad thing!

Holding your phone or tablet sideways, one thumb in the lower left corner controls character movement and one thumb in the lower right controls where you're shooting. That's largely the extent of what you can do in "Halo"; it's a bite-sized version of the world you know and love, but none of the depth of "Halo" gameplay you've come to expect from the franchise.

Move your Spartan around in worlds plucked from the main franchise "Halo" games while shooting iconic guns at the usual mix of Covenant alien forces.

Fans of the series will find lots to love: beautifully detailed environments, a mess of recognizable weaponry and vehicles, and a focus on quick bursts of fun. It's that last bit that's most evocative of the "Halo" console franchise: 30-second snippets of varied combat that remind you exactly why you're playing "Halo" and not, well, "Robotron: 2084."

NOW WATCH: Here's Why Microsoft Is Ready To Shell Out Billions For A Simple Video Game

A new trailer for "Jurassic World" arrived Monday.

We learn much more about the movie's plot line, but unfortunately it seems rather predictable and goofy, not to mention extremely reminiscent of the original 1993 film.

Chris Pratt plays Owen Grady, who looks like a dino trainer, or maybe just a "tamer." Training dinos "is not about control; it's a relationship based on respect," he says.

A female voiceover — likely Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays geneticist Claire Dearing — tells Grady that every time Jurassic World has unveiled a new attraction, attendance has spiked. "Corporate felt genetic modification would up the wow factor," she says. Grady's response: "They're dinosaurs, [that's] 'wow' enough."

First of all, are we really pinning the whole plot of this movie on a nameless, faceless, "corporate" moniker? And why does Grady sound so much like Indiana Jones here?

Of course, it wouldn't be a "Jurassic Park" movie without a giant dinosaur escaping its pen.

A military group finds a tracking implant, which the giant diano clawed out of itself. "How would it know to do that?" someone asks. Grady: "She remembered where they put it in."

"She's killing for sport."

Did you like the scene in "Jurassic Park" where those two kids were trapped in a vehicle under attack from the T-rex? "Jurassic World" has the same thing.

And in classic "Jurassic Park" form, the military is absolutely useless against just one dinosaur. 

"If we do this, we do this my way." I guess Grady's way involves a pack of trained velociraptors.

Grady's friend: "Something's wrong... they're communicating." Based on the trailer, it seems like the "villain" dinosaur starts recruiting other dinosaurs to do its bidding. You see the big dino roar at several flying dinosaurs that, in turn, start attacking the screaming tourists.

The trailer closes with some foreshadowing: There's always a bigger dino.

Based on the latest trailer, "Jurassic World" looks like a rehash of all the popular bits from the original "Jurassic Park," but bigger: More and bigger dinosaurs, more CGI, more futuristic vehicles, more action, and plenty of Chris Pratt. It doesn't feel original, and it feels like the trailer gave away many important plot points. Hopefully there are some surprises when the film hits theaters on June 12.

"Jurassic World" might not be the best action movie this year, but if there's one thing to get excited for, it's the music.

NOW WATCH: Here's what 'Game of Thrones' stars look like in real life

You won't find a more timely and relevant film at this year's Tribeca Film Festival than "Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle."

Nick Berardini's debut feature explains how two brothers built the world's largest Taser manufacturer, armed and help train most of America's police departments, and became millionaires in the process.

Rick and Tom Smith founded Taser International in 1993 and have sold their device to almost all of the US 18,250 law-enforcement agencies (only about 450 police departments do not deploy the Taser), according to the company.

As the film progresses, these seemingly innocuous figures appear more and more sinister as we see them jump through hoops to avoid taking responsibility for the potential harm their product inflicts.

The film makes a salient point when it juxtaposes the Smith brothers' apathetic depositions and the upsetting police dash-cam footage showing the death of Stanley Harlan. The 23-year-old died after he was stunned for a total of 31 seconds outside of his home.

In 2008, Harlan was pulled over by officers from the Moberly, Missouri, police department either for speeding or drunk driving (the reason remains unclear). Harlan appears to cooperate with police, but within seconds multiple cops grab him and walk him off camera. He is then stunned three times and goes into cardiac arrest, according to a police handout obtained by CBS News.

Moments later, Harlan's body is dragged back into the dash-cam's view. For the next 14 minutes, officers attempt to wake him up, but it's too late. Harlan died of cardiac arrest in front of his home and his screaming parents.

Still, the Smith brothers contend in the film that the Taser is perfectly safe and simply cannot do any serious harm. In their depositions, as well as in a Canadian Parliament hearing on the matter, the brothers assuredly deny all assertions their product can kill.

When asked about a specific instance involving a death by Taser, Rick Smith responds, "What I'm saying is that to the best of our knowledge it does not appear that the direct electric effects of the Taser would be the most likely cause of the cardiac arrest."

Rick's brother echoes this later on: "In terms of the studies that have been done we have not seen anything conclusively that has come back scientifically that has said a Taser has killed."

According to the company's running tally, of the 2,741,934 Taser deployments, about 141,198 lives have been saved.

In 2009, however, Taser International updated its training procedures to include that officers should not aim for the chest.

After issuing the update, the company scheduled a nationwide call, featured in film, with their police department clients to explain the need for the adjustment. Then-CEO Rick Smith is heard on the call telling officers, "Are chest hits with a Taser dangerous? The answer to that is definitively no."

There are a few other unfathomable moments in the film that truly have to be seen to be believed. "Tom Swift" highlights the ineptitude not only of Taser International but also the governing bodies and police departments that have allowed this organization to essentially have a monopoly over the training and safety of the device.

"Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle" is a painstakingly researched and compelling film that demands to be heard. It's bigger than some true-crime story that affects the lives of a handful of people — the horrors brought to light in the film have an effect on every American citizen.

"Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle" is playing at the Tribeca Film Festival on Tuesday April 21st and Sunday April 26th. Tickets are available here.

Disclosure: Brett Arnold and Amanda Macias are former classmates of the filmmakers.

NOW WATCH: Here's what it takes to be President Obama's right-hand man

Lightsabers. Hoverboards. Cloaking devices. The Iron Man suit.

All of these would be awesome if we could pull them out of their science fiction universes and into the real world.

But Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of StarTalk TV, premiering April 2o at 11 pm on the National Geographic Channel, told Business Insider that if he could get his hands on any sci-fi technology right now, he wouldn't have to think twice.

"Oh it's obvious," Tyson told Business Insider. "It's warp drives of course."

The concept of a warp drive was popularized by the Star Trek TV and movie series, and the crazy piece of technology enables a starship to travel faster than the speed of light (which is roughly 671 million miles per hour).

So journeys that would take existing spacecraft tens of thousands of years to complete could happen in a matter of weeks.

It should come as no surprise then that Star Trek is the theme for the first episode of Tyson's StarTalk TV's premiere. Tyson features his interview with George Takei — who played Sulu on Star Trek, the pilot responsible for taking the starship Enterprise into warp drive.

So if Tyson got his wish and we suddenly had a warp drive, where would we go?

"Everywhere," Tyson said.

Tyson said going to Europa first would be a good strategy since there's compelling evidence that this moon of Jupiter could potentially hold alien life.

"But that's almost a waste of the warp drive," Tyson said. "It's too close."

Warp speed

Too close is still over 390 million miles away, but when you can travel faster than the speed of light, that is indeed thinking too small.

It's taken NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft 38 years to travel 12 billion miles from Earth. It's only traveling a fraction of a percent of the speed of light, so it would take over 17,000 years for Voyager to travel one light-year (about 6 trillion miles).

A warp drive powered ship from Star Trek could complete a 4.3 light-year journey in 37 hours.

But, actually, in the first StarTalk episode Tyson admits he had been wrong about the warp drive for a very long time.

While talking to guests comedian Leighann Lord and astrophysicist Charles Liu, he explains, using his universe tie, that he thought the warp drive worked by opening a wormhole from one part of the universe to the other.

Actually, his guests accurately noted, the warp drive actually creates a bubble around the spaceship that lets it move faster than the speed of light through the fabric of spacetime.

It's certainly fun to think about the potential that warp drives would provide, but they don't exactly fit in with what we know about the universe. Einstein's famous theory forbids any material object from traveling faster than the speed of light.

Enter physicist Miguel Alcubierre.

Alcubierre came up with a theory that explains how Star Trek's warp drives could actually comply with the laws of physics:

The idea is that the starships themselves in Star Trek aren't moving faster than the speed of light. That's where the bubble idea comes in. The ship is essentially stationary, but enclosed in a bubble of space-time that is moving faster than the speed of light. This chunk of spacetime zips along so quickly by contracting space-time in front of the ship and expanding spacetime behind the ship.

Physicists and astronomers believe spacetime expanded faster than the speed of light during the Big Bang, so why couldn't we use a warp drive to make a chunk of it travel faster than the speed of light now?

Real life warp drives?

According to Star Trek, the key to this crazy sci-fi tech lies in colliding matter with antimatter, a process that real-world physicists already know creates tons of energy. The huge bursts of energy kickstart the starships into faster than light speeds.

NASA actually has a theoretical concept for a warp drive that could take a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri, a star system 4.3 light-years away, in two weeks. (In the world of Star Trek that same trip would only take 37 hours).

Still, this tech is not coming to the real world anytime remotely soon, and we'd still need gravitational and inertial dampers if we ever actually create a warp drive, Tyson said.

"Otherwise once you accelerate to warp speed you'd be like a pile of goo on the back wall because that much acceleration is bad for human health," Tyson said.

That's why people die in sudden collisions or after falling from a skyscraper and hitting the ground. The acceleration jolt of going from hundreds of miles per hour to zero in a fraction of second is what kills people.

Still, it's fun to think about the possibilities of a warp drive. And it's exciting that physicists and NASA are actually considering whether the idea is feasible or not.

In the Star Trek world, the first time that Earthlings use a warp drive it leads them to contact with the Vulcans — the alien race that Spock's father belongs to. And with a real warp drive, we too could boldly go where no one (we think) has gone before.

Either way, Star Trek is a "force of creativity for people who want to create tomorrow," Tyson said in a trailer for the StarTalk TV show:

NOW WATCH: Neil deGrasse Tyson Tells Us Why 'Star Trek' Is So Much Better Than 'Star Wars'

Monday night, Warner Bros. hosted a trailer event for "Batman V Superman" at Imax theaters. 

The trailer was previously released Friday evening after the trailer leaked online last week.

While the trailers are virtually the same, those in attendance were treated to an ever-so-slightly extended trailer featuring a few short seconds of footage after the trailer ended. 

The footage won't be online or in theaters.

What happens in the brief scene? 

It makes more sense if you re-watch the trailer. 

 
All caught up?

So, here's where the "Batman V Superman" teaser trailer ends. Superman pops down from the sky to face Batman. The Caped Crusader has just told him he's going to make him bleed.

Audiences next saw Henry Cavill's face on screen. He started to rise up and charge toward the camera. The scene then cut to Ben Affleck's Batman in full Batgear charging toward the camera from a far off distance. The next shot showed both of them running toward each other, Superman from the left and Batman from the right. The scene cut to black as they were about to hit.

Great stuff.

You can read about what else happened at the event here.

"Batman V Superman" is scheduled for release March 25, 2016.

Finally! We have our first good look at the new Batsuit in the "Batman V Superman" film. 

Director Zack Snyder shared the image on Twitter shortly after an Imax trailer event around the country for the upcoming 2016 film.

Here's a bigger version of the image.

Little dark, right? We brightened it up a bit so you can get a better look at the cape and cowl.

Now, we're talking.

It sure looks worn, but it also looks like we may get a traditional black and grey Batsuit.

It reminds us of a mix between Frank Miller's suit from "The Dark Knight Returns" and the more recent "Arkham" video game series from Rockstar.

NOW WATCH: This simple exercise will work out every muscle in your body

For close to two decades Courtney Love and the surviving members of the band Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, have feuded over the band’s finances, among other things.

But Sunday night at the Tribeca Film Festival showed that the relationship between the wife of the band’s legendary deceased frontman, Kurt Cobain, and its members is improving.

Following a screening of the new documentary on the life of Cobain, “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” the film’s director, Brett Morgen (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”), and Love took the stage to discuss the film.

An audience member asked if Morgen had reached out to Grohl to be in the film, as he was not in it but Novoselic is.

“I wanted to keep [the film] as intimate as possible, so I didn’t feel the need for multiple members of Nirvana [to be in it],” Morgen told the packed audience at Spring Studio in Lower Manhattan. “But I didn’t want to be in a Q&A and answer this question all the time, so I asked if I could talk to Kirst and Dave. I heard back that Dave was in the middle of doing his album [and was unavailable]. Which is fine, and I was fine with that."

But Morgen added that two weeks before premiering the film at the Sundance Film Festival this past January, Morgen got word that Grohl was done promoting the album and was available to be interviewed for the film.

“So I was like, Alright, we’ll try,” said Morgen. “We did the interview and Dave was great and awesome, but I couldn’t do what I’d already done.”

Morgen had already shown the film at Sundance and the Berlin Film Festival when he tried to work the Grohl interview into the film. But he said by that time he had “lost the feel to evaluate it anymore” and decided to leave it on the cutting room floor.

Love did not comment on Sunday about Grohl not being in the film, but if previous Nirvana events are any indication, it seems the two are currently in a better place.

The band and Love had been at odds since the suicide death of Cobain in 1994.

Love, Grohl, and Novoselic partnered in a LLC in 1997, which controls band assets like unreleased music, images, and requires a unanimous vote on major decisions about the use of anything related to the band.

In 2001, Love sued Grohl and Novoselic over the unreleased song “You Know You’re Right” included in a Nirvana box set due to be released the fall of that year, and asked the court to dissolve the LLC partnership.

Grohl and Novoselic counter-sued, stating that Love is “motivated solely by her blind self-interest.” 

The lawsuit was settled in 2002 with all parties staying in the LLC and “You Know You’re Right” being featured in a retrospective album.

But things with Love and Grohl went sour again in 2011 when Love accused Grohl of seducing her daughter with Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain. (Grohl has said the accusation is untrue.)

But at last year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of Nirvana, it seemed everyone was on good terms again.

Love not only went on stage with Grohl and Novoselic to accept the honor, but she and Grohl even hugged on stage.

Love followed the event by tweeting:

At Sunday’s post Q&A screening, Morgen was asked how difficult it was to get the full cooperation of Cobain’s family and the surviving band members to take part in this project. He admitted that when he started working on the film in 2007 it was a challenge, but because Frances Bean Cobain was involved everyone agreed to take part.

Love then interjected on how everyone felt about each other at the time:

“It was a tsunami of s---, and I caused most of it.”

"Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck" is currently playing at the Tribeca Film Festival and will air on HBO May 4.

After reports that a "Full House" reboot may be coming to Netflix earlier this month, John Stamos made it official Monday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

According to Stamos, the new season will be a partial reunion, but mostly a spin-off.

"We were trying to do some kind of spin-off and we wanted to give credit to the legacy and we didn't want to just sort of throw it away and so Netflix came around and said let's do 13 episodes," said Stamos.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the new series, which will be called "Fuller House," will focus on DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron-Bure), her two sons, younger sister Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweeten), and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Meanwhile, Stamos, who is credited as a producer, will guest star as Uncle Jesse.

Stamos is still unsure about whether or not the Olsen twins will return, and all he could say about Bob Saget was that he "better be" on it. 

Either way, the new season won't let long-time fans down.

"It's a labor of love and we've literally been trying for so many years to do it right and I think we finally got it perfect."

The new season will premiere on Netflix at some point in 2016.

NOW WATCH: Netflix's new 'Daredevil' show looks way better than Ben Affleck's version of the superhero

Following the monster release of “Transformers: Age of Extinction” last spring, in which it made over a billion dollars worldwide and became the biggest-opening film ever in China, fans will be happy to hear that the fifth installment in the franchise is coming soon.

During a Hasbro earnings call on April 20, CEO Brian Goldner confirmed that the next “Transformers” is slated for a 2017 release.

Entertainment Weekly first reported the news.

"Our plan right now with the studio and film makers, you may have read something about some writers being hired and we have, in fact, brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers," said Goldner. "We think there's any number of stories to be told, that's a brand that's been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology. And we would expect the sequel to Transformer movie to happen in 2017."

It was announced last month that Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind”) would come on to lead a group of writers to expand the "Transformers" films into more sequels and spinoffs, a la "Star Wars."

At one point, Paramount Pictures was hoping director Michael Bay could churn out the fifth film for next summer, but that’s not possible. As EW notes, Bay is currently preparing to direct “13 Hours,” which is based on the 2012 terrorist attacks on the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, starring John Krasinski.

NOW WATCH: Disney just released a new 'Star Wars: Episode VII' trailer and it's incredible

We just got the trailer for the star-studded animated feature "The Little Prince," based on the 1943 novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The movie combines computer-generated animation with traditional stop-motion animation techniques. Judging by the trailer, the movie promises to be a strong contender in the category of Best Animated Feature at next year's  Academy Awards.

Directed by Mark Osbourne ("Kung Fu Panda"), "The Little Prince" features a cavalcade of stars including Rachel McAdams, James Franco and Jeff Bridges. It is produced by On Animation Studios.

The movie looks like the first animated feature since Pixar's "Up" that promises to widely appeal to both children and adult audiences. In the last few years, the famous animation studio has invested heavily in sequels to previous hits, despite a promising upcoming slate of originals such as "Inside Out" and "The Good Dinosaur."

There's still no official North American release date, but the movie will screen at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Steve Arhancet has his dream job. As the co-owner of Team Liquid, he runs one of the most popular professional gaming organizations in the world.  

His teams compete in professional leagues and tournaments in every major competitive video game, earning big cash prizes and netting lucrative sponsorships from companies like HTC, Nissan, and Red Bull. 

It didn’t start that way. In 2012, Arhancet left behind his six-figure salary as a Washington D.C.-based consultant to build a business from scratch based around a professional video gaming team. Along the way, Arhancet has had to use every skill he learned on the corporate ladder to grow his team in a cutthroat market.

Team Liquid is still a work in progress, but in a dynamic and growing space like professional video gaming, the team has the chance to become the next Yankees.

Arhancet wakes up at 6:30 a.m. Though the majority of the pro-gaming world doesn't start their day before 12 p.m., Arhancet has found it hard to let go of his East Coast-go-getter mentality.

While eating breakfast, Arhancet takes a look at his calendar for the day. It is absurdly packed. As Team Liquid's general manager Steve Perino told me, Arhancet is often so busy meeting with sponsors and e-sports organizations that if Perino asks to discuss an issue, Arhancet's answer is "Find an empty slot in my calendar." There aren't usually many.

At 7:00 a.m., Arhancet takes a call with his co-owner Victor Goossens, who is based in the Netherlands, to discuss what needs to get done that day. The two merged Arhancet's Team Curse — which focused on League of Legends, the most popular game right now — with Goosens' Team Liquid, which had teams in every other major e-sport, to create a professional gaming juggernaut. The deal is still fresh, so they are still working out the details.

Fans at last week's "Star Wars Celebration" in Anaheim, California, were able to get a good look at the next generation of Stormtroopers from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" up close and personal. 

However, if you were at the event in Anaheim, you also got a sneak peek at some of the other Stormtroopers that will be in the movie.

First up is the Flametrooper, who, yes, has a flamethrower!

The Flametroopers are described as "specialized Stormtroopers of the First Order. Flametroopers carry incendiary weapons that can transform any battlefield into an infernal blaze."

Snowtroopers were also present.

They "wear advanced insulated armor and helmets that reduce the glare of icy terrain."

 Here is an even more detailed look at the Snowtrooper and its concept art:

Thanks to the sustained success of beauty vloggers like Michelle Phan, makeup tutorials are plentiful on YouTube these days.

Fifteen-year-old vlogger Brendan Jordan seems like a typical beauty blogger at first glance, but he's actually more interested in poking fun at the idea of a YouTube beauty celeb while encouraging viewers to be themselves. 

While his YouTube channel has more than 111,000 subscribers on its own merit, he first rose to viral fame when he appeared in the background of a newscast performing Lady Gaga's "Applause" choreography.

He also might be partially responsible for the current #KylieJennerChallenge madness on Twitter and Instagram. He posted his own video showing how to get swollen lips using a shot glass on April 18. It has since been viewed more than 325,000 times.

Although Brendan's videos seem to be concerned with the superficial based on their titles, many viewers find them inspiring because of his "be yourself" spirit. For instance, in "How to Be a Model," he doesn't give any concrete modeling tips. Instead, he goofs around with the Photo Booth settings on his Mac.

And in his eyeliner video, he starts out with solid advice for anyone trying to achieve the perfect cat-eye look: "To start a wing, you just follow the pathway of your bottom lid," he says.

After connecting the liner on the top and bottom, though, he goes off the rails. He ends the video with makeup reaching his hairline next to his right eye ("this is a good look for church," he jokes) and with a crude drawing of a butterfly wing on the left.

Brendan's followers seem to love him not just for his ability to inject humor into his videos, but also for the way he embraces his own distinct style.

In "How to Deal With Haters," Brendan says, "I make a joke out of most of my hate. If someone says my eyebrows look like caterpillars, I'll laugh. Because maybe my eyes were looking like caterpillars that day. Who knows?"

In "My Coming Out Story," which has 417,000 views, he says, "Just because you like the same gender doesn't mean you're an alien." He adds later, "If you like it, you do it. As long as you're not harming anyone or breaking any laws, just do it."

When it comes to technology, director Christopher Nolan ("Interstellar," "The Dark Knight" Trilogy), is famously something of a Luddite. He doesn't have an email or a cell phone, and he's a vocal advocate of film over digital.

His action sequences also rely more heavily on practical effects than CGI. Nolan appeared Monday evening at a Tribeca Film Festival panel to discuss his film career. While referencing Nolan’s action scenes, a fan asked what scene the director is most proud of putting together.

It's not one from "Inception," nor is it one from his recent "Interstellar."

Instead, Nolan told the audience if "you're talking pure mechanics" that he would have to go with the opening scene from "The Dark Knight Rises," in which the film's villain Bane (Tom Hardy) is first introduced hijacking a plane that he drops from the sky. 

The scene was shot in Scotland, where the crew actually dropped a real C-130 plane from the sky.

While it was a scheduled five-day shoot, the crew was able to get it done in just two.

In order to shoot the scene, Nolan had to obtain permission to drop the C-130. 

"It was sort of an incredible coming together of lots and lots of planning by a lot of members of the team who worked for months rehearsing all these parachute jumps," Nolan said.

He definitely pushes his crew to crazy new levels, and they always seem to be on board.

"With Chris Nolan, as much as we can physically do inside of that lens is where he would like to go," stunt coordinator Tom Struthers said in a behind-the-scenes featurette.

Practical effects might be making a comeback. The gravity-defying fight scenes in "Inception" used real sets as opposed to green screen, a gamble which clearly paid off.

Other directors are embracing practical as well.

J.J. Abrams has been earning a lot of early praise for actually building most of the sets that you will see in "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens." Even the robots such as BB-8, were physically put together and could interact with the actors.

While CGI might be easier and safer, Nolan seems to believe that working without that safety net offers both risks and rewards.

"I was amazed at what the team achieved using various old-fashioned methods," Nolan said, "I was very proud of how that came together."

NOW WATCH: Disney just released a new 'Star Wars: Episode VII' trailer and it's incredible

A casting call for a new TV show called "94110" has some San Franciscans scratching their heads. 

According to an ad posted on Craigslist, "94110 imagines the story of six leading technology executives living, learning, and loving together in San Francisco's Mission District, 94110. Production is scheduled on location in San Francisco for summer 2015."

The casting call is for the six leading roles, in addition to supporting roles and extras. 

A producer speaking to the Uptown Almanac described the show as "Mark Zuckerberg fan fiction" and said the independent company is currently looking for angel investors.

"The main collaborators are all residents of the Mission community," the producer said. "We want to take the neighborhood’s new reality and do something with it."

Online reaction has been somewhat negative.

Jeremy Clarkson could be coming back to television.

And the former "Top Gear" host – banished for punching a producer earlier this year – hinted that that he might create a new car show.

In his weekly column on the Sunday Times, Clarkson chronicled every maudlin detail of his of life since the BBC banished him from the show he built into an entertainment powerhouse. 

The network's decision to part ways with the polarizing TV personality came after an internal BBC inquiry found Clarkson had struck a "Top Gear" producer when the staffer failed to obtain a hot steak dinner after a long day of filming.

"I felt sick because after I’d lost my home and my mother, I’d thrown myself even more vigorously into my job and now, idiotically, I’d managed to lose that too," Clarkson wrote.

The veteran TV personality later concluded that at the age of 55 it was too early for him to hang up the driving gloves but too late for an old dog to learn any new tricks.

"Which is why I have made a decision," Clarkson wrote. "I have lost my baby but I shall create another. I don’t know who the other parent will be or what the baby will be like, but I cannot sit around any more organising my photograph albums." 

In the column, the ex-"Top Gear" host explained that he was also in a poor mental state because of a potential cancer diagnosis. 

"Two days before the “fracas”, I’d been told, sternly, by my doctor that the lump on my tongue was probably cancer and that I must get it checked out immediately." Clarkson wrote. "But I couldn’t do that. We were in the middle of a 'Top Gear' series. And 'Top Gear' always came first."

The fracas with the producer came on the heels of a controversy-filled 2014 for Clarkson — which saw the TV host mired in scandal stemming from accusations of racist, sexist, and culturally insensitive comments. 

Prior to his dismissal, Clarkson had spent nearly three decades as a host on "Top Gear" and is credited with being the force behind the show's explosive international success.With more than 350 million weekly viewers, "Top Gear" set the Guinness World record as the most watched factual TV program. In addition to the UK show, the Top Gear brand also includes numerous international spinoffs, a live stadium tour, merchandising, a successful magazine, and a website.

Recently, Clarkson pulled the plug on his turn as the guest host of an episode of the BBC news quiz show "Have I Got News For You."

According to the show's producers, the bombastic TV host and automotive journalist decided against the appearance after a period of reflection.

Clarkson's cancelled appearance on "Have I Got News For You" would have been his first appearance on the BBC and on TV after the network announced late last month that it would not renew Clarkson's contract which expired at the end of March.  

The Clarkson episode would have aired on April 24. However, this may not be the end of his involvement with "Have I Got News For You." The show's producers hinted to BBC News that he may guest host on another episode later in the year.
