IMDb Sues California Over Actors Age Law

IMDb Sues California Over Actors Age Law

IMDB is suing California’s Attorney General Kamala Harris in an effort to overturn a new law that requires the company’s IMDb Pro account users to remove the ages of actors on the site if asked by them to do so.

“This law unfairly targets IMDb.com (which appears to be the only public site impacted by the law) and forces IMDb to suppress factual information from public view,” IMDb argues in the lawsuit.

“Moreover, the factual information being suppressed from IMDb is available from many other sources, not least including Wikipedia, Google, Microsoft (Bing), and Apple (Siri). As such, AB 1687 sets a dangerous and unconstitutional precedent for other general purpose websites and news sources, and should be deeply troubling to all who care about free speech.”

In addition, IMDb argues that the new law is unconstitutional, calling it “a misguided law that attempts to combat age discrimination in casting through content-based censorship.”

The new law was praised by SAG-AFTRA as a major blow against ageism in the film industry.

Eddie Redmayne’s Harry Potter Audition Went Really Wrong

Megan Diane

Eddie Redmayne’s audition to play a villain in Harry Potter went really wrong.

We are only a few weeks away from seeing Eddie Redmayne’s debut in the Harry Potter spinoff, Fanastic Beast and Where to Find Them. 

However, several years ago Redmayne nearly appeared in a big-screen Harry Potter movie. The actor previously auditioned to play the character of Tom Riddle in Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets. 

But Eddie Redmayne’s audition didn’t go very well, because not only did he not get the part but he didn’t even get a call back to inform him that he was not selected. Redmayne made this rather embarrassing revelation to Empire, when he was quizzed about his past links to the Harry Potter universe.

“I actually auditioned to play Tom Riddle while I was at university,” Redmayne freely admitted. “I properly failed and didn’t get a callback.”

What made it tough for Eddie Redmayne was that several of his friends actually did get roles in the Harry Potter franchise, which helped boost their acting careers. Redmayne explained, “A lot of my friends, like Domhnall Gleeson and Rob Pattinson, got their Harry Potter moment, but I never got mine.”

Before getting cast as Edward Cullen in the Twilight series, Robert Pattinson portrayed Cedric Diggory in both Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Domhnall Gleeson, who was priased for his performances in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Ex Machina in recent years, previously portrayed Ron Weasley’s older brother Bill in the Harry Potter film franchise.

Redmayne explained that he really wanted the role of Bill. “Over the years,” Redmayne noted. “I always hoped I might be cast as a member of the Weasley family – I’m color blind, but I’ve always been told there’s a tinge of red to my hair – but unfortunately not.”

This is not the first time that Eddie Redmayne, an Oscar winning actor, didn’t land a role in a movie because of a bad audition. Last year, he revealed while on The Graham Norton Show that he was lucky enough to get an audition in front of Peter Jackson for the role of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. However, the audition didn’t go well when proceeded to scrunch up his body and use a very peculiar accent.

In additon, speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast back in November 2014, Redmayne revealed that his audition for a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was also laughably inept.

“My Star Wars audition was pretty catastrophically bad,” Redmayne admitted, via the Independent. “There’s this wonderful casting director called Nina Gold, who I absolutely love. I went in and did this scene and after seven times of trying to play a baddie, [Gold] was like, ‘Got anything else, Eddie?’ I said, ‘Okay, that’s a childhood dream crushed’.”

Michael Peña: ‘Scientology Made Me a Better Actor’

Did you know Michael Peña is a Scientologist?

In an inteview with The Guardian, Peña, who stars in some of the biggest Hollywood movies including Marvel’s Ant-Man, talked about his history with the Church of Scientology, which dates back to 2000 when he turned to the religion to handle his heavy drinking.

“I wasn’t an alcoholic, but I was doing it too much. And then there was the next thing, and the next thing,” he says.

LOS ANGELES – MAR 10: Michael Pena arriving at the Premiere of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ held at the Cinerama Dome on March 10, 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (Featureflash Photo Agency / Shutterstock.com)

“For me, it isn’t religion like a belief; it’s practical things you do.” Peña says the Church’s program program, Purification Rundown, really helped him, which is amazing for anyone who is struggling with a drinking problem.

Despite all of the negative attention surrounding the Church of Scientology, such as the fascinating documentary Going Clear, Peña explains that Scientology helped improve his reading skills through their Study Tech program, which he says, “made me a better actor because I felt like it helped my understanding of scripts.”

From Guardian:

“But he must be aware of the endless controversy that surrounds the organisation? “Yeah, but I don’t read that stuff.” He’s aware of it, though? “Yeah but – OK, imagine we’re friends, you and me. Buddies. And there’s a tabloid story about you. There’s no way I’m going to read some fucking tabloid story about you.” He looks straight at me again. “Especially when I know it’s misinformed.”

Scientology acting classes coming soon?
