Matthew Broderick has enjoyed a long and notable career in Hollywood. The actor's career began in the 1980s with Max Dugan Returns, and he quickly evolved into a worldwide sensation. He starred in 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which earned $70 million on a $5 million budget and would eventually be preserved in the Library of Congress. He then went on to appear in The Lion King (1994), Godzilla (1998), and Inspector Gadget (1999). Throughout those years, he also appeared on stage, if only out of his love for theater. There, he won two Tony Awards within 15 years.

Late star Donald Sutherland has played villainous characters in many instances in his legendary career. While the current generation may know him for his role in The Hunger Games franchise, Sutherland has established himself as a prominent actor in films like The Dirty Dozen, M*A*S*H, and Space Cowboys.

Sutherland’s sons are also part of the film industry, with Kiefer Sutherland being the most prominent one. The actor played the lead role of Jack Bauer in the espionage TV show 24. While the father-son duo have worked together before, Sutherland Senior reportedly refused to play Kiefer’s father in 24 for one wholesome reason.

Forsaken is a Hollywood Western with a unique twist: the father-son pairing of Donald and Kiefer Sutherland for the first time. The movie explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and different perspectives, deviating from typical Western tropes and plot points. Forsaken subverts expectations by not allowing certain relationships to progress and avoiding the typical gun duel climax of traditional Westerns.

This article contains spoilers for ForsakenForsaken is a typical Hollywood Western in many respects, but it has one thing to recommend it more than most: the pairing of Donald and Kiefer Sutherland. Before Forsaken, the father-son pair had acted together in two movies: Max Dugan Returns, Kiefer's first movie, and A Time To Kill, in which they never share a scene. Forsaken is the only movie they get equal billing in and, with Donald Sutherland's recent death, this is a feature that many may want to revisit or check out for the first time.

Kiefer Sutherland announced the passing of his legendary father, Donald Sutherland, with a heartfelt tribute on social media. Director Edgar Wright and co-star Helen Mirren also shared their admiration for Donald Sutherland's intelligence and talent. Tributes continued to pour in from Hollywood stars like Ron Howard, Rob Lowe, and Nancy Sinatra, honoring Sutherland's remarkable legacy.

Widely considered one of the most prolific and talented performers of his generation, Canadian actor Donald Sutherland accumulated quite a number of noteworthy entries to his filmography. And, now that he's passed, there are just as many tributes from fellow well-respected celebrities as there were films well-worth watching.

As reported earlier, Sutherland's son Keifer, with whom he starred in 1983's Max Dugan Returns, 1996's A Time to Kill, and 2015's Forsaken, broke the news of his father's passing. The younger Sutherland released the following lovely statement via his X (formerly Twitter) account:

With a heavy heart,...

Legendary Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, who died on Thursday after a long illness and a celebrated Hollywood film and TV career, revealed why he never sought dual Canadian and U.S. citizenship by acquiring an American passport.

“Because we don’t have the same sense of humor. It’s true. We don’t. I’m a Canadian through and through,” Sutherland told the CBC radio show Q with Tom Power in March during one of his last media interviews.

Sutherland, who had been living in recent years in Quebec, around 12 miles from the U.S. border, recalled giving that answer to an American border guard who asked why the Canadian actor, who already had a green card to work stateside, didn’t get an American passport to more quickly cross the border to complete errands.

“Anyway, I love the country. I’m very, very proud that they gave me a stamp,...

We're very sad to report that Donald Sutherland has passed away at the age of 88 after a long illness.

Sutherland appeared in countless movies and TV shows over the course of his six-decade career, taking on a wide range of roles. Early standouts include Pvt. Vernon Pinkley in The Dirty Dozen (1967), Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce in M*A*S*H (1970), hippie tank commander Sgt. Oddball in Kelly’s Heroes (1970), and the titular private eye in Alan J. Pakula’s Klute (1971).

Though he often played heroic characters, Sutherland also brought life to his share of villains, including a ruthless Nazi spy in Eye of the Needle (1981), and President Snow in the Hunger Games movies. He is also known for his devastating turn as a grieving father in Nicholas Roeg's sinister horror/thriller Don't Look Now (1973), which featured an infamously graphic (for its time) sex scene with Julie Christie.

The prolific actor's résumé also includes:...

Kiefer Sutherland took to social media to remember his late father, the legendary actor Donald Sutherland, who died on June 20 at 88 years old after a long illness. The “24” and “The Lost Boys” actor remembered his father as a performer who loved his craft and an actor who was one of Hollywood’s most important stars.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” Kiefer wrote in a statement on his social media platforms. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.”

Kiefer is one of Donald’s four sons. The late actor also had a daughter, Rachel. Kiefer followed in his father’s footsteps as an actor,...

Toilet breaks, vampires, presidents and country albums: what do you want to ask the actor and musician about?

There’s plenty to ask the man who Donald Sutherland calls “son”. He’s British for starters – born in 1966 in St Mary’s hospital in Paddington. He’s named after American director Warren Kiefer, who directed Donald Sutherland in 1964’s horror Castle of the Living Dead, and grew up with his mother in Canada alongside his twin sister, who looks spookily similar if you care to Google her.

Sutherland’s film career has spanned nearly 40 years. He made his debut in 1983 comedy drama Max Dugan Returns with Donald Sutherland and Matthew Broderick. He soon became one of the names associated with the Brat Pack – the group of young Hollywood actors who frequently appeared together in 80s coming-of-age films. He played the bully, Ace, in 1986’s Stand By Me with River Phoenix, Corey Feldman,...

Richard Marks, a film editor who scored four Oscar nominations during a prolific 50-year career and earned a Career Achievement Award from the American Cinema Editors, has died at 75. Ace executive director Jenni McCormack confirmed that Marks died December 31 but gave no other details.

Marks earned his Best Film Editing Academy Award noms for Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now (1979) and a trio of pics by James L. Brooks: As Good As It Gets (1997) — which he also co-produced — Broadcast News (1987) and Best Picture Oscar winner Terms of Endearment (1983). He also edited Coppola’s Best Picture winner The Godfather Part II and Brooks’ I’ll Do Anything, How Do You Know and Spanglish, among dozens of other credits..

Matthew Broderick worked with Neil Simon five times throughout his career, onstage and on-screen. Here, he shares with Variety‘s Debra Birnbaum his memories of the acclaimed playwright, who died Aug. 26 at age 91 due to complications from pneumonia.

I met Neil through auditioning for “Brighton Beach Memoirs” in 1982. I’d auditioned in an office for a casting director a few times, and then finally worked my way to auditioning on a stage. “Ain’t Misbehavin’” was playing in the theater, and Neil was in the house. There was a whole group of us, and when I read, I do remember very distinctly hearing him laugh. It was great. Part of me was thinking, “Oh, he likes laughing at his own jokes,” but it was kind of a lengthy, giggly laugh, and it gave me some confidence. I was so nervous, and I remember just being so sort of flattered and comforted by that.

A review of tonight's The Americans coming up just as soon as I know who Howdy Doody's brother was... "Maybe we should take a break." -Elizabeth Philip and Elizabeth never met Nina, and their work was only occasionally impacted by what she was up to with Stan, Oleg, and Arkady. But even if they couldn't pick her face out of a lineup, much less know that she was shot dead in a basement back in Mother Russia, her execution last week underlined the fundamental danger that any Kgb or FBI asset can be in at this stage of the Cold War. Her death hangs over all of "Clark's Place," whether we're seeing the men in Nina's life learn one by one about her death, or simply witnessing Philip and Elizabeth dealing with their increasingly fraught relationships with Paige, Pastor Tim, and Martha. Let's start with the direct fallout from Nina's death,...

For the first time in 20 years, Kiefer and Donald Sutherland are sharing the screen together - an experience the elder actor calls "great." Kiefer, 49, and his father Donald, 80, stepped out for the Los Angeles screening of their new Western Forsaken at the Autry Museum of the American West on Tuesday, posing together at the red carpet. Forsaken finds the pair emulating their real family relationship on screen, as a former gunslinger and his estranged father facing off against a ruthless businessman in 1872 Wyoming. "[This] was something that we had been talking about for about 30 years," Donald tells People of sharing scenes with his son.

For the first time in 20 years, Kiefer and Donald Sutherland are sharing the screen together - an experience the elder actor calls "great." Kiefer, 49, and his father Donald, 80, stepped out for the Los Angeles screening of their new Western Forsaken at the Autry Museum of the American West on Tuesday, posing together at the red carpet. Forsaken finds the pair emulating their real family relationship on screen, as a former gunslinger and his estranged father facing off against a ruthless businessman in 1872 Wyoming. "[This] was something that we had been talking about for about 30 years," Donald tells People of sharing scenes with his son.

The Western is truly back, and with it comes the return of a former young gun, Kiefer Sutherland, now playing an old gun retired from a life of violence. In Forsaken, he's also acting opposite his own dad, Donald Sutherland, the first time they've appeared as father and son in a movie (not counting a 1987 documentary focused on the elder) and really the first major time they've shared the screen. They have been in the same movies before, just not together in the same scenes, in both Max Dugan Returns and A Time to Kill. And neither is stranger to the genre, with Kiefer one of the stars of Young Guns and Young Guns II and Donald being in 1974's Alien Thunder and 2012's Dawn Rider. This one easily looks to be of better quality than the...

In 1983, Ally Sheedy catapulted to stardom as Jennifer, the beautiful girl next door, in WarGames, about a computer hacker (played by Matthew Broderick) whose innocent prying turns into a game gone very wrong, with potentially global consequences.  Instant stardom and a successful film career followed.  29 years later, the award-winning actress revisited her role, as part of a Tribeca Film Festival panel on the film and the ethical questions it continues to raise. Hit the jump for our interview with Sheedy and her thoughts on seeing the film for the first time since its release, its relevance, Seth Gordon's upcoming remake (including casting options) and more. Ally Sheedy was a mostly unknown 20-year old when she was cast in WarGames.  Coming off steady work in television and a pivotal, but relatively small role opposite Sean Penn in 1983's Bad Boys, Sheedy was cast opposite Matthew Broderick, in just his second...

Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic The Hunger Games will easily top the North American box office once again this weekend — its third time as no. 1 — according to Deadline.com's "sources." As per Deadline's early, rough estimates, The Hunger Games is expected to collect $12-$14 million on Friday, and could reach $40 million over the Easter weekend. If so, Gary Ross' movie would be down close to 30% compared to last weekend — or less than half its drop-off rate last (non-holiday) weekend. It seems that Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion will be the no. 2 movie on Friday, with somewhere between $8-$10 million at 3,192 locations, and an estimated $25 million by Sunday evening. That includes $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings in North America. If those estimates are correct, Universal will claim that American Reunion far surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original American Pie at 2,508 sites in 1999. There is, however, a pesky little thing known as inflation,...

Gary Ross, The Hunger Games Gary Ross won't be directing The Hunger Games' sequel Catching Fire, according to various online reports. The Pleasantville and Seabiscuit director wanted more money than Lionsgate was offering him, though some sources claim that Ross wasn't too keen on revisiting Katniss Everdeen and pals. Now, would a more generous offer have sparked his interest in spending extra time with Katniss? And was the "low" offer a means for Lionsgate to get rid of Ross? Either way, some have already begun suggesting various — quite disparate — names to replace Ross. Among those are Alfonso Cuarón, who directed Harry Potter and the Prince of Azkaban in 2004, and Debra Granik, who directed The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence in the Oscar-nominated Winter's Bone. Considering that the Hunger Games movies focus on Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss, surely Granik won't be the only woman mentioned as a welcome Ross replacement.

Four movies have reached $250 million (not adjusted for inflation) at the domestic box office in ten days or less. The Hunger Games isn't one of them. Although The Hunger Games easily topped the North American box office this weekend, Gary Ross' futuristic adventure tale grossed $58.55 million — or about $2.5 million less than studio estimates published yesterday. (This is the second weekend in a row that studio estimates for The Hunger Games are considerably inflated.) As a result of its "underperformance," The Hunger Games failed to reach the $250 million milestone. That should happen some time today, however, on the film's eleventh day out. For the record, the four movies that have reached the $250 million milestone (once again, ignoring inflation) are The Dark Knight, Deathly Hallows 2, Revenge of the Fallen, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. At the international box office, The Hunger Games is lagging way behind its North American popularity.

Kiefer Sutherland and his father Donald are preparing to team up once again to star in an upcoming Western movie.

The father/son duo first played opposite each other in 1983's Max Dugan Returns, the 24 star's first movie role, and they reunited on set for 1996's A Time To Kill.

Now, 16 years on, the stars are plotting a new project, which will begin filming later this year, according to Donald.

He tells Canada.com, "I am loathe to tell you anything about it. I can tell you it has a temporary title of Redemption, and it's a western, and it's about a father, and a son who comes back, then goes away again."...

Matthew Broderick has been a professional actor for nearly three decades. Broderick, who currently co-stars in the comedy/heist film Tower Heist, made his theatrical debut in the 1983 film Max Dugan Returns, which starred Marsha Mason and two time Academy Award winner Jason Robards.

 Broderick told us that he has great memories of the film, and explained how veteran actor Robards took him under his wing and helped him professionally and personally while his father, actor James Broderick was dying. (Click on the audio player to hear Matthew Broderick) Matthew Broderick

The Education Of Matthew Broderick

How the most (arguably) iconic juvenile lead of the 1980s has not only matured into one of our finest character actors, but just keeps getting better

By Alex Simon

If we are all a combination of nature and nurture, actor Matthew Broderick is both. The son of acclaimed character actor James Broderick (best-known as the father on the 1970s hit series “Family”) and playwright/author/painter Patricia Broderick, Matthew’s upbringing in an artistic environment led him to take the stage at age 17, opposite his father in a production of On Valentine’s Day.

Two Tony awards and many decades later finds Matthew Broderick’s resume filled with some of the most iconic films of the 1980s: WarGames, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Glory to name a few, where Matthew established himself not only as one of the finest,...

Fine Line Features has rung up an option on the spec script Five Dollars a Day by writing duo Neal H. Dobrofsky and Tippi Dobrofsky. The project -- picked up for low- against mid-six figures, according to sources -- follows the tale of a son forced to reunite with his con-artist father during a cross-country odyssey. Dollars will be produced by Carol Baum (The Good Girl, My First Mister) and Jane Goldenring (Heart of a Stranger, Mister). Guy Stodel will oversee the project for Fine Line along with Meredith Finn. Said Fine Line topper Mark Ordesky of the pact: "We are delighted to be working with Neil and Tippi, who have fashioned a brilliantly charming script infused with warmth and humanism in the tradition of such classics as Paper Moon and Max Dugan Returns." The Dobrofskys' credits include the Judd Nelson-Gina Gershon starrer Flinch, the USA miniseries To Have and to Hold and the spec Kiss the Sucker, which is in turnaround from Warner Bros. Pictures. The deal was negotiated by Caroline Blackwood and Stodel for Fine Line. The writers were repped by Leah Antonio-Ketcham of Loeb & Loeb and Wendi Niad at her Niad Management. The producers were repped by attorney Mitch Smelkinson at Stone, Meyer & Genow.
