At 8. 3, Hunter seems to be just as sweet and kind as when he made his film debut 6. I’m a very private person who grew up with a strict German mother who believed “loose lips sink ships.” Without a doubt, my sexuality was something that I just never discussed, especially in the 1. But we heard that someone was going to write an unauthorized biography, so I thought, Why not get it from the horse’s mouth, instead of some horse’s ass after I’m gone? What was the most challenging thing about retelling those stories for the film? When the camera was on, and Jeffrey Schwarz asked me, “Can you remember your first relationship with a man?” I said, “Oh, my God. What do you wanna know?” But I was very surprised by responses to the film. So many people told me they felt insecure about themselves but I made them feel better. I’m very pleased about that. Did anyone ever inspire you in that way? I worked with Geraldine Page, who I adored, in the Playhouse 9. TV drama Portrait of a Murderer in 1. I said, “Gerry, people love you, you’re such a fine actress. But they hate my guts.” She grabbed my arm and said, “If people don’t like you and don’t get your message, that’s their bad taste. Just do the best you possibly can.” I never forgot that. What has it been like for you to watch the documentary? Devil's Island is a 1939 American prison film directed by William Clemens and starring Boris Karloff. This film is notable for Karloff as the protagonist, opposed to. In contrast to De Niro’s brooding, aloof and suspiciously calm portrayal of Lucifer in Angel Heart, Al Pacino chooses a different method in The Devil’s Advocate. The moments that have the most impact for me are those about my mother, the death of my older brother . I had a hunch to call him and touch base, and when I picked up the phone, I heard on the radio that he’d passed away. Have you kept in touch with the stars who are interviewed in the film such as Debbie Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Connie Stevens, and Robert (R. J.) Wagner? R. J. We were all part of the end of the studio system, with Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds, and that was an exciting time. Those moguls ran a tight ship. The studios were there to protect the stars. Warner Bros. We’d been together for a few years. At right: Brunch with Tab and Roddy. Mc. Dowall. How do you think it might have been different if you were a young gay movie star today? Being a romantic leading man in those days, and even today, you can’t be gay. There are exceptions like Neil Patrick Harris and Portia de Rossi, but TV is probably more accepting of it than film. Just like when live TV came in — you got the opportunity to do things you couldn’t do in the movies. What advice would you give to young gay actors who are beginning their careers today? I’d say be truthful and honest to yourself, and do what you think is right. Being gay, it’s going to be difficult to be a leading man or woman. But somewhere under all the crap there is a pony. Tell us about starring opposite Divine in John Waters’s Polyester and in Lust in the Dust. She was one of my favorite leading ladies. It was Natalie Wood, Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth and Divine . She was so dedicated to the work. Without the drag, he looked like a beached whale, but once the camera was on, she was on! And John Waters is one of the most creative directors I’ve ever worked with. He really knows what he wants because he’s created a great blueprint. He plants the seeds and then lets you go. I was the only one who wasn’t in the Broadway production, and my character was very guileless. I’m very proud of That Kind of Woman with Sophia Loren, directed by Sidney Lumet, and I loved doing Gunman’s Walk because I finally got to play a bad guy. Which of your films would you most want destroyed? I’ve got a ton of those! It’s called survival. Hunter lives on a ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif., with Allan Glaser, his partner of 3.

Satan, Lucifer, old Nick, the Lord of Lies, Donald Trump, call him what you will, the devil may be evil incarnate and the pure embodiment of sordid sin, but in purely cinematic terms the faint whiff of sulphur, speaking in tongues, and revolving of the head has always put butts on seats and silver in hands. There’s a long serpentine line of movies which demonically play on our obsession with mankind’s oldest enemy. And it’s not hard to fathom why. Since the release of The Exorcist in 1. In William Friedkin’s 1. Regan Mac. Neil’s (Linda Blair) soul was possessed by the forces of darkness. The fact you could actually only see these diabolical forces through the yellow- eyed, sallow- skinned, projectile vomiting and obscenity spitting body of a child makes it all the more chilling. The devil doesn’t actually make a cameo in The Exorcist but his lieutenant Pazazu does. Actual physical portrayals of Satan himself are something of a rarity, but when actors get their devilish depictions right, the results are divine. So why not put aside your pitchfork, take the weight of your hooves and leave the damned to their own devices, as something wicked this way comes in the shape of Screen Rant’s list of the 1. Best Movie Depictions Of The Devil. ANGEL HEART (1. 98. Any film featuring the twin talents of Robert De Niro and Mickey Rourke on top of their game was always going to be demonic by nature, and Alan Parker’s noir horror mystery Angel Heart doesn’t disappoint. De Niro plays the immaculately suited and booted, cane- carrying, Louis Cyphre. Yet it doesn’t dawn on Harry Angel (Rourke) that his employer is the sworn enemy of mankind until the end of the film, when he finds out that he sold his soul to Satan many moons ago and had conveniently forgotten all about it. It transpires that Harry was once a famous magician named Johnny Favorite who murdered a soldier, ate his heart and assumed his identity. Being a fiendish lover of diabolical games, Cyphre employs Angel’s services as a private detective to track down the man he once was: Johnny Favorite. Angel’s amnesia eventually clears and it dawns on him he was Favorite all along. As he realizes his soul is forsaken and Cyphre is actually the devil incarnate, and not just someone whose name is a “dime store joke.” De Niro gives a masterclass in portraying an intense but understated evil as he softly asks with a knowing smile, “If I had cloven hooves and a forked tail, would I have been more convincing?”De Niro’s depiction of the devil is often overlooked, the role and dialogue he uses to great effect could easily have been hammy in another actor’s hands. This Satan steals the show with the authentic air of an old, ancient, and almost weary evil, which is sick of the sordid sins of man. After watching Angel Heart you’ll never view a boiled egg in the same way again. THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE (1. In contrast to De Niro’s brooding, aloof and suspiciously calm portrayal of Lucifer in Angel Heart, Al Pacino chooses a different method in The Devil’s Advocate, and plays the horned one with all the energy, zest, and gusto of a camp Tasmanian devil with a hardcore methamphetamine habit. Going by the name of John Milton, the famous poet who wrote the epic Paradise Lost, Pacino’s take on the tormentor of souls is that of a lovable rogue. He’s charismatic, cheeky, a hit with the ladies, but his big downside is that he’s also a lawyer. In fact he’s a head of a New York City law firm who wants to corrupt an eager young attorney called Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves). It transpires that Kevin is actually the dark one’s unwitting son and, let’s be honest, no- one can play unwitting like Keanu. Faced with the dilemma of obeying his father’s wishes, which involve having sex with his half- sister and impregnating her with the Antichrist, or shooting himself in the head, Kevin chooses the latter. Kevin’s suicide is an act of free will which undermines Milton’s message that it’s “Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” Pacino’s devil may be over the top and lacking in substance, but it’s one which poignantly represents the materialism and ambition of the modern age and, as such, he’s suitably shallow. OMEN III: THE FINAL CONFLICT (1. The Omen trilogy, which began in 1. Rottweilers and a penchant for making his nannies hang themselves from buildings, to a millionaire businessmen with a passion for killing foxes and drinking whiskey. In Omen III: The Final Conflict, Sam Neill plays Damien Thorn like a devil who has watched far too many James Bond movies. He’s a well- dressed and sophisticated English gentleman who has immaculate manners and is charm personified. In his spare time he also enjoys a spot of rape, infanticide and strangling priests to death. Thorn is also a head of a sprawling multinational corporation that orders its disciples to kill all boys born in England on the morning of March 2. Not because he doesn’t like the English, but because that’s the date which heralds the arrival of the Second Coming of Christ. A birth which has long been foretold as throwing a spanner in the devil’s ambitions to create an evil empire without end. Damien ends the film with a knife in his back, but not before he shows the audience just how full of rage Satan his. The devil in The Final Conflict is the Lucifer Morningstar of the Old Testament, who was thrown out of Heaven because of his pride and jealously. The scene where Damian visits his attic and starts ranting at the statue of Jesus on the cross, is like an angry adolescent having a go at a distant and emotionally remote dad. Damian spouts how he is sick of all the morality baloney, and asks, “Nazarene, charlatan, what can you offer humanity? Since the hour you vomited forth from the gaping wound of a woman, you have done nothing but drown man’s soaring desires in a deluge of sanctimonious morality.” It’s strong stuff, but Christ doesn’t appear to be listening, and not just because a petulant Damian has turned the head on the statue backwards. LEGEND (1. 98. 5)Before Tom Hardy made cinematic history by playing both Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the upcoming. Legend, Tim Curry was having it large and owning the manor 3. Ridley Scott’s Legendmay not have featured any psychotic East End villains, but it did boast a colorful selection of unicorns, goblins, and fairies, and featured a young Tom Cruise in the role of a forest dwelling elf who was battling the ancient Lord of Darkness himself. Legend may not have gone down in history as a cinematic masterpiece, but Curry’s portrayal of the devil is almost as iconic as his role as Dr. Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mainly because Curry’s make- up is fiercely flamboyant and makes him look exactly like the devil from everyone’s childhood. He is an angry red, boasts huge horns, snarls in a sinister baritone, laughs like a creature who murders serial killers, and looks over- the- top even by the standards of medieval painters. Yet if you want a devil to scare a child, then this is it. Darkness is the devil of fairy tales, the devil of childhood imagination, the devil we’d hide in closets to avoid, and the devil who’s in us all but one we choose to paint in the image of a complete and utter monster. CONSTANTINE (2. 00. Casting the reliably wooden Keanu Reeves as the wise- cracking, world weary, and heroically cynical protagonist in Constantinemust have been one of the worst casting decisions in history. Reeves’s hatchet job on the chain- smoking exorcist nearly single- handedly ruined the film, and it was only Peter Stormare’s take on Lucifer which redeemed one of DC Comics darkest cinematic hours. Peter Stormare’s Lucifer creeps around the place like a particularly repellant and viral disease. He looks like a junkie who has overdosed on depravity and every pore on the deathly pallor of his skin seems to ooze corruption and vice. Stormare’s mannerisms all conspire to capture the essence of a devil who is consumed by the perversions of the flesh as a means of enslaving the purity of the soul. This is one Lucifer who is rotten to the core, sinister to the bone, and as evil as the day is long. He wears white suits and burns angel’s wings for Christ’s sake! Put it this way, you’d probably want to jump in a bath of bleach after meeting him. Rosalinda Celentano – THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (2. Of course the real unsavory and unpalatable villain of Mel Gibson’s ode to sadomasochism that is. The Passion Of The Christ, was the torture porn which threw a bleak and bloody shadow over the delicate nuances and emotive performances contained in the rest of the movie. Yet the evil that lives long in the imagination long after the brutal beatings have faded like a discolored bruise, is Rosalinda Celentano’s depiction of Satan. In songs, the devil has long been a woman, but it’s something of a novelty on the silver screen. Which is a shame because as anyone who has upset a woman knows all too well, hell hath no fury like. If you’d ever imagined what Satan’s feminine side would look like, it would probably be something like Celentano in The Passion of the Christ. Dressed all in black like the obsessive fan Johnny Cash didn’t want, and possessing the sort of voice not often seen this side of a nightmare, Gibson’s simplistic but hugely effective Satan has no gimmicks or special powers just a terrible tenacity, alien otherness and overwhelming urge to do the wrong thing. END OF DAYS (1. 99. In “Sympathy for The Devil,” The Rolling Stones sung about a “Man of wealth and taste.” Gabriel Byrne in End of Days could be that man, or supernatural entity as the case may be. In 1. 99. 9 many of us thought the apocalypse was nigh and End of Days cashed in on those fears in a truly appalling manner, by offering the world a film about Arnold Schwarzenegger battling Satan in a bid to save humanity. The end of the world might indeed be preferable to such a premise, if not for the inclusion of Gabriel Byrne. Entertainment News - Los Angeles Times. Gary Goldstein. The indie crime thriller “Misfortune” recycles such familiar genre tropes as ill- gotten gains, double- crosses, ruthless gunplay and last- chance locales, but serves them up in a taut, twisty and involving way.
