‘Goodfellas’ and ‘Repo! The Genetic Opera’ Actor Paul Sorvino Has Passed Away at 83
More sad news today, as we’ve learned that veteran actor Paul Sorvino has passed away at the age of 83 from natural causes. Dee Dee Sorvino said in a statement shared by The Hollywood Reporter, “Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage.”
Paul Sorvino is perhaps most known for playing Paulie Cicero in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas back in 1990, and he also made a few stops in the horror genre over the years.
For starters, Paul Sorvino played Reverend Penny in Wes Craven’s TV movie Chiller back in 1985, and more recently he played Rotti Largo in 2008’s Repo! The Genetic Opera. Sorvino later reteamed with director Darren Lynn Bousman for short film The Devil’s Carnival in 2012 and feature film sequel Alleluia! The Devil’s Carnival in 2016. In both he played the role of God.
Sorvino also played Mayor Palantine in 2012 TV movie Jersey Shore Shark Attack, and horror fans will also remember him as Col. Spears in Larry Cohen’s 1985 horror movie The Stuff.
Outside the horror genre, Paul Sorvino amassed over 170 credits in a career that spanned several decades, appearing in films including The Panic at Needle Park, The Gambler, Cruising, Reds, Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer, Nixon, Bulworth, Perfume, and The Cooler, and TV shows “We’ll Get By,” “Bert D’Angelo,” “The Oldest Rookie,” “Law & Order,” and “Godfather of Harlem.”
Paul Sorvino is survived by wife Dee Dee Sorvino and children Mira, Michael and Amanda.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
