This photo series celebrating Empire magazine’s 20th anniversary in which famous movie stars reprise their classic roles is fine, but I can’t wait for the 40th anniversary. Tired, old Juno! Wrinkled Superbad! People get old, and people die.

can we have an image gallery of gabe’s reactions to watching all of these classics?
Nice to see Tom Cruise reprising his most iconic role. In “Minority Report.”
yeah they asked him to get in the tightie whities & the dress shirt, but he kept mumbling something about “gay ice cream” or something. no homo.
Man. Buzz and Woody haven’t aged a day.
Andy clearly kept better care of them than I did with my childhood toys.

Aw come on! Don’t you remember that sad little moment in the movie where Woody looks at the bottom of his foot and sees Andy’s markered name wearing off cuz he was getting older? That choked me up. And I won’t apologize for it.
and i’m concerned for YOU. (and your Alzheimer’s.)

ouch. burned.
Good day, sir.
I’m actually 9 so HA!
Have fun at dinner!
Christian Bale is clearly wearing the wrong costume. Get a news boy cap on him stat!
The Bizarre thing is that while some of the films are old, and its fun to see them re-created… Many are either non-iconic (minority report) or fairly recent…
Ahhh, remember where you were when you saw ’300′? the halcyon days of 2007, life moved a little slower then…
Yeah, we need Harry Potter Nostalgia when we still have 2 more movies to go. Come on people, stop grasping at straws.
im guessing Gerard Butler is related to someone in the editing department?
I guess it was really asking too much to hope for Topher Grace to reprise his iconic role in In Good Company.
Does anyone even know what is up with him, anymore? I woke up today with the awful realization that I had no idea whether or not he celebrated Thanksgiving with a huge plate of Tophurkey and that realization caused me to silently scream myself back to sleep in my coffin, because, it should go without saying, MLIT.
No one actually told Mel Gibson about the whole “reprising iconic characters” thing. That’s just how he rolls.
Clint Eastwood brought his own shotgun. Damn that’s grizzled.
It’s nice to see Jack Nicholson reprising his signature role in Sunglasses. And who could forget Matt Damon in Passport?
jason bourne must be hiding out on some tropical island – quite a tan he has there.
maybe that explains the wrinkles too. sunblock = skin smart.
And here I thought it was from his classic cameo in Eurotrip. You’re a chameleon, Damon. A tan chameleon.
I was kind of expecting more of the Simon Pegg in a bloody shirt and Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus…y’know actual reprising with the sets and the outfits and the nine yards. instead it’s: look. celebrities. in suits. some are holding props or make-up but mostly it’s nothing special we are pretending is special. congratulate us now thank you.
Also: Harry needs to wax his tits.
Especially the LOTR one, which was just one steaming pile of massive fail (large generic sword! smiling buds!). First off, everyone knows that Sean Bean as Agent 006 Alec Trevelyan in the Video Game Classic cum movie Goldeneye 007 was his iconic role. Also they should have just put Viggo in a bunch of tattoos and died his hair and used his character from Eastern Promises, because that movie was amazing and the photo would have been much more awesome.
AND let me add that the only one in non-Morpheus style that worked for me was the Gibson one with the sword, because that was fucking freaky as shit. The one with make-up just reminded me of the South Park episode.
the american psycho one is pretty good – the business cards are a nice touch.
Am I “legally” allowed to refer to Emma Watson as a “fox” yet?
Legally, you totally are. Just like how paparazzi were “legally” allowed to upskirt her on her 18th birthday.
Oof. Sorry. I just get weirded out by “legality” countdowns, and Emma Watson happens to have a sucky story attached to hers. You are right that she is very pretty, though!
No Tommy Wiseau?
I love your icon. Every time I see it I have to watch it for a few seconds, and I have no idea what it is.
I agree wholeheartedly. I keep trying to figure out what he’s mouthing. “Have some!! And release.” is my best guess.
It’s Freddie Mercury in Queen’s I’m Going Slightly Mad.
i love the matt damon one with the magazine. his eyes are saying “remember this? yeah? yeah? you remember that time? that was awesome.”
Unfortunately T-Rex passed recently and a shadow stand-in was required for the Jurassic Park shot.
I posted this in the last HWUWTP, but it was already more than 10 days after Gabe had posted the update and I fear no one saw this BTN! (Breaking-Topher News). Please, allow me to repost:
I’ve been reading Videogum for months and finally found something important enough to force me to make a profile for comment, sharing Topher stories, perineum, etc.
Somehow, we missed something that was up with Topher Grace. Last week, Lifetime premiered the sure-to-be-an-award-winning film, Personal Effects starring the serious actor (not serious actor) Ashton Kutcher and Cougar-tastic Michelle Pfeiffer falling in love as they bond over shared grief of murdered loved ones. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138489/ In the film, Pfeiffer’s character has a deaf teenage son. The opening scenes have a voice-over narrating his thoughts as he reflects on his dead father. It only took a few words for me to recognize Topher Grace’s heavenly voice in this uncredited role. How could we have missed this????
Damnit, that was in response to dylantoxicated’s inquiry about Topher and his Thanksgiving weekend happenings.
From now on, every time I talk about my dead father, I’m doing it in my closest approximation of T-Oaf’s voice.
Angizzle, you are who I will be thankful for when I celebrate the one week anniversary of this year’s Thanksgiving. ONLY ONE DAY LEFT!!!
Good lord, what did they do to Matt Damon?
I’m pretty sure that Potter group picture is old. #loser
Good lesson here: your photoshoot is going to suck if you blow your entire budget on a motorcycle and an ax.
Most of these are just sloppy but the Mel Gibson one is downright the saddest thing I have ever seen.
There’s nothing funny about an aging Juggalo.
We get it, Harry Potter. You’re a grownup. Now put away your chest hair. Please.
I don’t get it.
Is Christian Bale reprising his role from Newsies?
Harry Potter and Co look like the might all be going a bit Twilight there or HPLIT if you want to get all acronym on that.
What a way to spoil Million Dollar Baby for everyone!
Are we really at the point in our society where 300 is a “classic”? Didn’t that come out a few years ago?
Frankly all of these are a little weak. The Bale one doesn’t even make sense until the second picture of him, and the gratuitous Guvernator shots seem to only exist because we get to lots of love at the fact that California elected the lead actor of such classics such as Jingle All The Way to RUN THEIR STATE.
This is more “actors posing with props that are vaguely related to movies they have been in” than anything else.
Fun Fact: That kid from Jingle All the Way got “asked” to leave his college for dealing weed out of his dorm.
Well how else is he supposed to afford all that Turbo Man and Turbo Man-related paraphernalia? Come on President of College University, let him back in!
Daniel Radcliffe has copious amounts of chest hair that are unnecessarily displayed through his toddler sized v-neck sweater. JUST THOUGHT I’D POINT THAT OUT IN CASE EVERYONE MISSED IT.
Oh, y’all are poop faces. I enjoyed this muchly. Sure, Minority Report seems like an epic cop-out (I would’ve had him stand on a couch, recreating his role as “fucking crazy douchebag”), but I definitely did some mini-squeals when seeing some of these. Chill out monsters, let the love in sometimes.
The Matrix is 10 years old.
Anyone else not quite ready to accept that?
