@JamesGunn @JamesGunn did you get a B-12 shot around shoot day 65?

[Steve Stebbing @theStevilDead]

Today is the twenty fifth anniversary of the fantasy romantic drama remake #CityOfAngels starring Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan, Dennis Franz and @AndreBraugher and directed by @RealBSilberling in his follow up to Casper. The film was a remake of the Wim Wenders film Wings Of Desire.

The next one, of course!

@RealBSilberling I have to ask out of all the films you directed which one would you say is your most favorite?

@BillyBarnell Hey there - happy to hear about your screening. Shoot me a DM

[Brad Silberling @RealBSilberling]

@mang0ld @mangold literally my fave director growing up. Blank stares when I would say his name. Incredible storyteller.

@Wolfiesmom @WolfVanHalen of course I opened up immediately and shared my passion to someone I trusted as passionate artist himself. He could not have been more appreciative, or more kind. As I’ve made my movies over the years, I’ve never forgotten him. What an incredible and supportive spirit he was.

[Brad Silberling @RealBSilberling]

@Wolfiesmom @WolfVanHalen …I was rabid about the filmmaking process but painfully shy. And the only other person I found as shy, tucked in the corner, was Edward. He was incredibly kind, and to help me past my shyness he asked me to walk him through the whole process happening there on set…

[Brad Silberling @RealBSilberling]

@Wolfiesmom @WolfVanHalen @Wolfiesmom I shared with @WolfVanHalen a story about I should also have shared with you. I was a young film student in 1984 and had a chance to spend the day on the set of your movie The Seduction of Gina…

Spontaneous prop comedy!

@RealBSilberling watched Casper last night. Why did Bill Pullman use a fake hand during the Hard Copy tv special while performing a crystal ritual? Just curious as I can’t find anywhere on the internet that someone else noticed.

@WolfVanHalen …of course I opened up immediately and shared my passion to someone I trusted as passionate artist himself. He could not have been more appreciative, or more kind. As I’ve made my movies over the years, I’ve never forgotten him. What an incredible Dad he must have been.

@WolfVanHalen @WolfVanHalen, on an impossible day of remembrance, I wanted to share a story about your dad. I was a young film student in 1984 and had a chance to spend the day on the set of The Seduction of Gina, a tv movie your mom was starring in…

[Steve Stebbing @theStevilDead]

Twenty years ago today Jake Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, @SusanSarandon, Holly Hunter, @EllenPompeo and Dabney Coleman starred in the romantic drama #MoonlightMile from writer and director @RealBSilberling in his follow up to City Of Angels. It was loosely inspired by true events.

Growing up, I would watch Casper endlessly on VHS. Still can't believe I got a chance to speak with the guy who made it! @RealBSilberling reveals how the film showcased Steven Spielberg's commitment to pushing the CGI envelope and mentoring new filmmakers. https://t.co/voacZhaUEK

[Brad Silberling @RealBSilberling]

@MarkHamill excellent questions I too asked and got to tackle when I directed the movie in ‘95. Much of it handled in (yes) a third act monologue. The deceased male pattern baldness - now that remains a mystery…

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

Has there ever been a Casper origin story? What were the specific circumstances of this child's death? How did he go bald? Why doesn't he have a nose or any ears? Are his parents still alive? SO many unanswered questions...⁉️👻
