Watch: Steve Buscemi recalls failed 'Tin Men' audition on 'Late Show'
1 of 4 | Steve Buscemi recalled some of his failed auditions on Wednesday night's episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 24 (UPI) -- Actor Steve Buscemi appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and discussed some of the roles he failed to land, including a part in Barry Levinson's 1987 comedy Tin Men. Buscemi, who is currently starring in Netflix's Wednesday, told Colbert he decided to really prepare for his audition with Levinson. "I studied the sides, the script, and I went in there, did my reading, my audition, and he went, 'That was really good, that's really good, Steve. Alright, 'Let's try it again,'" the actor recalled. "He gave me a very specific note, and I don't remember what that was, but he wanted me to add a different color to it, or shading. I went, 'OK,' and then I read it again, the exact same way I just did it." "There was this silence, and we both just looked at each other, and I think I even said, 'That was the same, wasn't it?' He said, 'It's OK, it's OK.' Needless to say, I did not get that part," Buscemi said. Buscemi recalled another time he auditioned for director Mike Nichols and casting director Juliet Taylor for the film Biloxi Blues, despite knowing he had a scheduling conflict. "I went in, I do the audition, and they love it," he said. "They were laughing, they were like, 'That's great! Yeah, good.' And I went, 'So, when are you shooting this?'" Buscemi said he told them he was not available on the shooting dates. "And again, this, like, silence. And I could see Juliet Taylor looking at me like, 'What is wrong with you?'" While he did not land Tin Man or Biloxi Blues, Buscemi is known for such films as Reservoir Dogs, Fargo and The Big Lebowski, along with the HBO series Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos.

'Air Bud Returns' in meta franchise revival
July 24 (UPI) -- Cineverse announced Thursday that it will release Air Bud Returns in theaters. The film is planned for next summer. The original Air Bud opened in 1997 and featured a golden retriever who could play basketball. Several sequels followed, in which Air Bud tried sports from American football to volleyball. It also inspired a series of Air Buddies films about puppies. Air Bud Returns will mark the sixth film in the main series. The poster shows Air Bud returning to his basketball roots with a paw over a basketball. Cineverse collaborates with Air Bud Entertainment on the film and hopes Returns will be the first of a new series of films. ABE founder Robert Vince will write and direct. He produced the Air Bud films, and wrote and directed 10 of them. His hockey chimpanzee franchise, Most Valuable Primate, only made it to two films. Disney distributed the previous Air Bud movies. In Air Bud Returns, a 12-year-old discovers the VHS tapes of the earlier movies in his late father's childhood home. The boy names his golden retriever Buddy after the films. This approach goes back to films like Gremlins 2, in which gremlins attack Leonard Maltin for criticizing Gremlins 1, and Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, in which characters respond to the hype of The Blair Witch Project. This year's Matlock revival has Kathy Bates playing a character named after the Andy Griffith series. The human cast of Air Bud Returns has not been announced.
