There is a lot of work that goes into making a movie. There’s the camera, lighting, casting, and editing process. However, when actors make action movies, there is a ton of work on stunt work. In fact, there is a complete choreography process to creating those iconic fighting scenes.
On Wednesday, the Internet uploaded a video showing Keanu Reeves training and learning choreography for the movie John Wick and boy, does it look intense.
There are very few actors that can handle such a grueling and complicated fight choregraphy displayed in the box office hit movie John Wick and watching Reeves fight bad guys, it’s clear to see that Reeves is talented.
John Wick centers around an ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. The movie did extremely well in the box office and over $14 million in the box office.

In an interview with TheWrap, Spike Lee confirmed that he would not attend this year’s Academy Awards this year and demanded that white nominees and studios speak out about the lack of diversity among this year’s nominees.
“I’ve not heard except from Charlotte Rampling, one person – I’d like to hear from white nominees, studio heads – let’s hear from them,” said the director during an interview with TheWrap at the Sundance Film Festival.

And then Spike Lee pointed out how white actors and studio executives were more supportive of African Americans in the past than they are today. Spike Lee started naming Hollywood stars who marched with Martin Luther King in 1963:
“In 1963 these individuals marched with Dr. Martin Luther King – James Garner, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Frank Mankiewicz, Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward.
“At the time, these were the biggest stars in Hollywood. They marched with Dr. King. Compare to today – very few. Love the George Clooney, love the Jonathan Demme, love the Danny DeVito… but those are few. A lot of people are silent. Think about it.”
Spike Lee continued on by saying: “Those were the biggest Hollywood stars at the time. We’re not seeing that today, in my opinion… I’ve not heard except from Charlotte Rampling, one person – I’d like to hear from white nominees, studio heads – let’s hear from them. Name me one studio head who’s gone on the record and said anything.”

Saturday Night Live’s“Undercover Boss” skit has just released their outtakes and it’s hilarious!
Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live last week and by far it was one of the most talked about skits in recent history. The skit centered around the Undercover Boss and featured River as his Star Wars character, Kylo Ren. Now, SNL has released the skit’s outtakes and they are funnier than the skit itself.
You can watch the original skit below, but above are the outtakes, which features some great fourth wall breaking by Driver, Taran Killam and Bobby Moynihan. But the best bit has to be Leslie Jones not breaking as she fights with Adam Driver and someone dressed up as a Stormtrooper. It’s hilarious!

The Disney Channel’s hit TV series High School Musical celebrated its 10th anniversary on Wednesday with an amazing reunion special, which included a look back at some of the cast’s adorable audition tapes.
During the flashback to the East High gym, High School Musical stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel and Monique Coleman took a trip down memory lane while watching their cheesy auditions together.
While Tisdale’s audition with Grabeel and Bleu’s audition with coleman were cute, it would be Zac Efron’s audition that stole the show.
Even back then, there was a clear on screen chemistry between the cast of High School Musical. Especially between Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, who both dated for several years.
Unfortunately, Zac Efron didn’t make it to the reunion, and his absence was felt, especially since none of the cast mentioned his name while watching the auditions and they didn’t even show Efron delivering any lines in the flash back.
The 28-year-old actor is currently promoting his new movie Dirty Grandpa, while getting in shape for the new Baywatch movie, which is now holding open casting calls across the south east.
Check out the video above to watch the High School Musical Audition tapes.

After filming in Atlanta, Georgia for several months, the Seth Rogen and Zac Efron comedy is back.
The first ‘Neighbors’ revolved around a couple with a new baby who are forced to live next to a fraternity house and do whatever they can to take it down. In ‘Neighbors 2′, a sorority moves in next door to the couple and Seth Rogen gets help from the fraternity to help battle the wild sorority sisters.
Neighbors 2 looks like it is going to bring back the same kind of style and flair to the series.

Despite fewer people watching movie trailers now more than ever, movie trailers are and will always be an important part of the marketing part of any movie. When skillfully done, they can make even horrible movies look like Oscar winning pictures.
Unfortunately, due to this formula, all movie trailers are basically the same. Jack Nugent, host of the informative “Now You See It” web series, gets to the root of this situation in a video bluntly called “The Problem With Trailers.”
This handy guide explains each trailer and has four main goals it is trying to accomplish in a relatively short amount of time. The trouble starts when too many trailers use this formula for creating movies.
“These techniques have become so normal that they aren’t enough to make a trailer stand out anymore,” Nugent explains. “The vague dialogue, the over-the-top music—it’s very familiar to us.
Here, Nugent explains the different type of formula used for American Sniper and Furious 7 trailers and why these are the new type of trailers Hollywood should be using.

Eva Longoria reveals what it’s like working on daytime soap operas and it’s pretty dramatic.
Eva Longoria appeared on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyerson Tuesday to promote her new comedy series Telenovela, and she discussed her experiences working on soap-operas.
Apparently, there is more drama behind the scenes of your favorite soap operas than there are in front of the camera. Longoria, who started her acting career in shows like General Hospital and The Young and the Restless, told Seth Meyers what it’s like working on a daytime soap opera in comparison to a nighttime series.
“The difference between daytime soaps and nighttime soaps is that in the daytime soaps, the men are the divas.” She recalled a time when her male scene partner kept saying the wrong line, which she was then repeatedly blamed for; “The men could do no wrong,” she concluded.
It looks like every actor has to start somewhere.
Longoria’s new TV series Telenovela is a sitcom series starring Eva Longoria and Jencarlos Canela. The series centersa round the daily life of a telenovela star that doesn’t know how to speek Spanish, even though being extremely popular with the co-stars and crew around her.

You can finally watch the unedited El Chapo raid and it’s pretty crazy.
On Monday, we saw a clip of the dramatic raid footage that ended in Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s recapture by Mexican authorities. Those 30 seconds (cut from 50 minutes of footage from CNN) showed Marines throwing grenades into the home holding El Chapo. Five cartel members were killed while El Chapo temporarily escaped into a manhole. He traveled through the sewer, emerged and stole a car, but authorities were able to capture him before he disappeared again.
Now, an extended video shows a full 15 minutes of GoPro action from Friday morning’s “Cisne Negro” (Black Swan) mission.
The clip ends as the soldiers realize that El Chapo is nowhere inside the two-story structure. We may see a lot more when the full 50 minutes of footage surfaces. However, whether or not we’ll actually see El Chapo’s arrest and his reaction will probably be shrouded in mystery.
The drug kingpin now sits in the same Mexican prison that he escaped from last July. The warden and 71 other employees were charged after El Chapo escaped through a hidden tunnel. Of course, El Chapo’s plan may not have been a secret at all. His network of connections may make anything possible, even another possible escape. But, it’s interesting to point out that his Hollywood appeal is what led to him getting caught. All of which begs the question: Is Sean Penn a spy?

Star Wars is ramping up production for the new Han Solo spinoff movie and according to reports, casting directors are currently holding auditions for the lead role in the Disney movie.
According to Variety, talent agencies are currently pitching their best and biggest actors to star in the next Han Solo spinoff movie. But, due to Non-disclosure Agreements and top flight security, details surrounding the casting calls and auditions have not been made public. However, Variety has been able to get a short list of actors that are currently auditioning this week for the lead role in the Han Solo solo movie.
Variety’s sources tell them that that after seeing hundreds of actors, LuscasFilm execs have cut the list down to about a few actors with “Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Logan Lerman, “Brooklyn” star Emory Cohen and “Everybody Wants Some” actor Blake Jenner” among the top list of actors making the cut, so far. Apparently, casting directors were looking for actors as young as 17 to 34 years old.

Star Wars movie producer Kathleen Kennedy and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are holding auditions and a decision is expected to be made in the next few weeks.
Apparently, casting directors were looking for actors as young as 17 to 34 years old.
Filming for the new Han Solo movie will not start filming until early 2017, but sources close to Variety say the reason for such a early decision has to do with the upcoming Star Wars movie, which is currently filming. That might explain the most recent casting call which was leaked showing that Harrison Ford was returning to the franchise. And Variety’s sources say that “the new Solo could have a small cameo in “Rogue One: A Star Wars” before appearing in his own standalone pic.”
Rogue One still has a month of filming to go and is supposed to be set between Episode II and Episode IV, making this new Han Solo age accurate for a cameo in the movie. Disney is using the same cinematic universe strategy as Marvel which is going to feature the new Spider-Manin the new Captain America: Civil War movie before shooting a stand-alone Spider-Man movie in Atlanta, Georgia.

It helps that he’s one of the few actors in Hollywood that could work side by side with Washington himself. It’s not an easy job to bestow a major award to a legendary actor, icon, and activist like Denzel Washington. In fact, King Kong ain’t got **** on him.
But what no one could probably see coming was Tom Hanks impression of Denzel Washington’s acting. That’s right, when Tom Hanks performed his best Denzel impression, it was so good it made Denzel break into laughter.
Denzel Washington, who was probably still laughing after Donald Trump, struggled to give a great speech but, you could easily tell that Denzel was simply enjoying the glorious moment with his family.

Right after winning her Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, Jennifer Lawrence was being interviewed at a post awards show when an incident occurred between the Hunger Games actress and a reporter trying to ask her a question.
Jennifer Lawrence quickly became upset with the reporter attempting to read her a question off of his phone, which apparently is not unheard of for international reporters for whom English is not their first language.
Without ever listening to the question, Jennifer Lawrence snaps. “You can’t live your whole life behind your phone, bro. You just can’t do that. You gotta live in the now,” a faint laughter spreads through the room. The reporter quickly apologized and then went on to ask the question, asking Lawrence how she sees herself for the Oscars, referring to February’s awards which Jennifer Lawrence is likely to be nominated for. However Lawrence, seemingly still upset, fired back: “We’re at the Golden Globes. If you put your phone down, you’d know that.”
Many people took to Twitter to blast Jennifer Lawrence’s rude comments.
Jennifer Lawrence is just mad that daisy Ridley is now bae
The civil war drama, Free State of Jones, centers around the story of Newt Knight, a farmer and former Confederate soldier who ultimately deserts from the Civil War and leads a revolt against the Confederacy.
On Saturday night, the first trailer for the Civil War drama Free State of Joneswas released Saturday, featuring some pretty action packed scenes. Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey stars in the film written and directed by Oscar nominated director Gary Ross.
McConaughey plays Newt Knight, a farmer and one-time Confederate soldier who ultimately leaves and starts a rebellion consisting of farmers and slaves against the Confederate Army in Jones County, Mississippi.
Filming took place throughout New Orleans, Louisiana with casting directors looking for background actors, models, and stand-ins.

Watch the 1989 Clearasil commercial that helped launched Mark Ruffalo’s acting career.
Before Mark Ruffalo was the Hulk, Ruffalo was an aspiring actor who auditioned over 600 times before ever landed a major role. In fact, Ruffalo was just another young actor working on small acting gigs.
During the Tonight Show last week, Jimmy Fallon aired a classic 1989 Clearasil commercial featuring a 22-year-old Ruffalo discussing the problems with acne and using medicated face wipes.
“After I was hired,” Ruffalo recalled, “The director was like, ‘I really liked what you did because you just seem like you came right off the street—like, you don’t know how to act at all.’” I guess that’s no longer a problem for Ruffalo. In fact, Mark Ruffalo called out Jason Statham after Statham bashed the Marvel series for bad acting. Ruffalo responded by saying, “You’ve got nothing on me.” And by the looks of this commercial, Ruffalo is probably right.
Ruffalo’s acting career is on fire nearly 30 years later. Following his major breakout performance in You Can Count on Me sixteen years ago, he went on to star in critically acclaimed films such as Collateral in 2004, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the underrated movie Zodiac in 2007and Shutter Island alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. For his roles in The Kids Are All Right (2010) and Foxcatcher (2014), he received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actor.
Mark Ruffalo is now working on the sequel to Now You See Me.
