Jim Carrey Probably Retiring From Acting I Ve Done Enough

While promoting “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” Carrey revealed to Access Hollywood that he is looking for a break. “Well, I’m retiring,” Carrey said. “Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious.” The “Ace Ventura” star added that there are certain stipulations: “It depends, if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road,” Carrey said, “but I’m taking a break....

Luca Guadagnino Defends Casting Straight Actors In Gay Roles

“Nobody who knows my work can say to me with a straight face that I’m shy about male or female or other gendered nudity,” Guadagnino said. “So, the critique or note that James gave was, in a way, devoid of pragmatism or a relationship with the movie itself. My question to him is does this movie need full frontal male nudity? I don’t think so. It doesn’t.” Guadagnino added, “Maybe the script which he wrote — which was a draft which then I reworked with my editor — was compelled to tell this story through the perspective of a very exposition-ary kind of nudity....

Matlida The Musical Review Flattened Adaptation Is For Theater Fans

It’s been a widely accepted fact since 1988 that Matilda Wormwood is not a normal girl. She is clever — stupidly clever — and kind, and can also make use of psychokinetic powers whenever she needs to. Her world is a fantasy and a horror at once, trapped by cruel parents and misunderstood by a tyrannical headmistress at her school (Crunchem Hall) and buoyed by her freakishly powerful brain. It is wonderful, but also quite weird....

Mickey Rourke Slams Irrelevant Tom Cruise Disses Acting Ability

Rourke weighed in on fellow ’80s breakout star Cruise’s A-lister status during a recent interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” When host Morgan asked Rourke what it’s like to see Cruise back at the top of the box office charts with summer blockbuster sequel “Top Gun: Maverick,” Rourke jabbed, “That doesn’t mean shit to me.” “The guy’s been doing the same f-ing part for 35 years,” Rourke added (via Metro UK). “I got no respect for that....

Mona Fastvold S Gay Romance The World To Come Breaks Out At Venice

After struggling to move forward with several projects as her follow-up feature to 2014’s “The Sleepwalker,” Norway-born Fastvold fell in love with someone else’s story instead. She usually writes movies for herself and her creative and life partner Brady Corbet (“Vox Lux,” “The Childhood of a Leader”) as well as other filmmakers (“The Mustang” and Antonio Campos’ “Homemade” episode). As Fastvold worried about how to make the story her own, one image kept haunting her: a woman with a rope tied around her waist, disappearing in a snowstorm to rescue her husband....

Morbius Box Office Feels Bite Of Terrible Reviews And A C Cinemascore

“Morbius” is the third entry in the Sony Pictures Universe of Movie Characters (also known as the terrible acronym SPUMC, for future reference). After its SPUMC predecessors “Venom” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Morbius” is a disappointment only compared to its potential. At $39 million, it grossed just under $10 million more than “The Lost City” (Paramount), which had a similar $75 million production budget. So why does the Sandra Bullock/Channing Tatum adventure/comedy get credit for a decent opening and “Morbius” doesn’t?...
