‘Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner Reveals Social Media was a “Catalyst” To Her Depression

Game of Thrones” actress Sophie Turner opens up about living with depression and social media criticism.

Speaking with Dr. Phil on his podcast series, the actress discussed living with depression and how social media impacted her outlook on life while working on the hit HBO series.

The 22-year-old said she started feeling depressed when she hit puberty at 17, at which point she had been acting on the show for four years. She started receiving a lot of negative feedback on social media. “It was just a lot of weight comments,” she said, “or I would have spotty skin because I was a teenager, and that’s normal, and I used to get a lot of comments about my skin and my weight and how I wasn’t a good actress.”

Sophie Turner noted while social media was not directly the cause of her depression, it was a “catalyst”. The resulting depression manifested in a sense of self-consciousness, and lack of motivation. Turner had a time getting out of better and even thought about committing suicide. “I don’t think I viewed myself as worthy of anything that I was doing,” she admitted.

The actress has since found happiness thanks to therapy sessions and medication, along with her relationship with her fiancé Joe Jonas. “When someone tells you they love you every day,” she said, “it makes you really think about why that is and I think that makes you love yourself a bit more. So yeah, I love myself.”

As the show comes to an end, Turner has decided to take some time off and study psychology. She explains, “I’m just really passionate about it.”

Casting directors are seeking the following role:

  • Jazz Bashara – Female, mid-twenties, Middle Eastern descent and raised Muslim. Jazz has lived on the moon since she was 6. She’s poor – but with an incredibly clever and scientific mind, she’s become the moon’s go-to smuggler which helps her secretly pay off her father’s debts. Having been let down too many times, she has hard time trusting people – but she covers up her insecurities with bravado.

Please submit headshot, resume, and reel (if available) to [email protected]

All submissions are due by Wednesday, May 1st at 5 PM PST.

About “Artemis”:

According to Deadline, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller have signed on to develop to direct Artemis, the book by The Martian author Andy Weir. Artemis is described as an adrenaline-charged crime caper that features smart, detailed world-building based on real science. It centers on Jasmine Bashara, aka Jazz, just another too-smart, directionless twentysomething chafing at the constraints of her small town and dreaming of a better life. Except the small town happens to be named Artemis — and it’s the first and only city on the moon. She’s got debts to pay, her job as a porter barely covers the rent, and her budding career as a smuggler isn’t exactly setting her up as a kingpin, much to her disappointment. So when the chance at a life-changing score drops in her lap, Jazz can’t say no, and she finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.

Barack and Michelle Obama Share Details of Upcoming Netflix Projects

Netflix has shared details of their upcoming multi-project venture with Barack and Michelle Obama.

The Higher Ground Productions announced a total of seven projects that include several scripted shows, movies, and documentaries.

In a press release, Netflix in association with Higher Ground revealed that they had acquired the rights to two films including “American Factory,” a Sundance winner that looks into the relationship with China and America’s post-industrial war, and “Crip Cramp,” a feature-length documentary about a summer camp for disabled teenagers.

A drama called “Bloom,” which is a biopic based on David W. Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,” which is a scripted anthology series based on the New York Times obituary column Overlooked. Another production is a non-fiction series based on best-selling author Michael Lewis’ “The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy,” and the kids’ program “Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents” have also been confirmed.

We created Higher Ground to harness the power of storytelling. That’s why we couldn’t be more excited about these projects,” the former President said. Mrs. Obama added, “We think there’s something here for everyone — moms and dads, curious kids, and anyone simply looking for an engaging, uplifting watch at the end of a busy day. We can’t wait to see these projects come to life — and the conversations they’ll generate.”

“We love this slate because it spans so many different interests and experiences, yet it’s all woven together with stories that are relevant to our daily lives,” Mrs. Obama said. “We think there’s something here for everyone—moms and dads, curious kids, and anyone simply looking for an engaging, uplifting watch at the end of a busy day. We can’t wait to see these projects come to life — and the conversations they’ll generate.”

“President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and the Higher Ground team are building a company focused on storytelling that exemplifies their core values,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix. “The breadth of their initial slate across series, film, documentary, and family programming shows their commitment to diverse creators and unique voices that will resonate with our members around the world.”

All of the projects are currently in early development and will be released on the streaming platform over time.

“Guardians of the Galaxy 3” To Start Filming Next Year

Earlier this year it was announced James Gunn would return and direct “Guardians of the Galaxy 3” now reports say the film will finally resume production and begin filming next year. According to The Hollywood ReporterBlack Widow and The Eternals will begin shooting this year with Shang-Chi slated to follow.

“Guardians of the Galaxy 3” will start shooting next year in 2020. Gunn will start filming “The Suicide Squad” in Fall 2019, meaning Guardians may go into pre-production at the same time. That said, the movie may get pushed back so his schedule isn’t so demanding since DC Comics’ soft reboot is slated to release August 6, 2021. The five Guardians are expected to return for the movie, including Gamora. There are no reports on whether Thor will be included in the film, given the allusion that he will join the team and reform it as the “Asgardians of the Galaxy.”

This news comes after the production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  was reportedly put on hold last September 2018. Marvel dismissed crew members for the sequel and producers stopped preproduction for “regrouping.”

The Hollywood Reporter reported the project was scheduled for preproduction fall 2018 but production stopped following the firing of director James Gunn, who had made controversial social media posts from 2008 to 2012.

Keanu Reeves Reveals How He Ended Up in “Movie Jail”

Keanu Reeves reveals how turning down a movie role landed him in “movie jail” for over a decade

Keanu Reeves was an A-list actor in the 1990s thanks to his hit movie “Bill & Ted” movies and roles in Kathryn Bigelow’s “Point Break,” but it was Jan de Bont’s 1994 action thriller “Speed” that turned the actor into an international superstar. The film was a hit at the box office making $350 million worldwide on a $30 million production budget and won multiple Oscars. The film’s success made it an easy decision for 20th Century Fox to develop a sequel, although Reeves believed it would be difficult for a movie to be that successful a second time around.

Keanu Reeves on “Movie Jail”

In a new interview with GQ MagazineReeves said his decision to turn down “Speed 2: Cruise Control” led him to placed put into “movie jail” by 20th Century Fox. During that point in time, Reeves surprised many in the industry by following up the blockbuster hit movie with working at a regional theater playing the lead role in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”.

The choice to work on a smaller production booted him from being 20th Century Fox’s leading action star and Reeves said he remained in Fox movie jail for over a decade. “I didn’t work with [Fox] again until ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ [in 2008],” Reeves said.

You would assume the hit movie “The Matrix” was enough to get him back on Fox’s good graces, but it was not. When the actor finally did return to the studio with Scott Derrickson-directed “Day The Earth Stood Still” remake, Reeves’ was no longer as popular as he once was as the movie made only $233 million worldwide, which was a major let down for the studio.  Reeves’ next movie, “47 Ronin,” was a box office flop in 2013 and is currently the last movie for the actor at the studio. Since then, Reeves has worked on indie productions including “The Neon Demon” and Lionsgate franchise “John Wick.”

“He’s got this beautiful, tragic conundrum—these two selves,” Reeves told GQ about the reason he keeps coming back to Wick. “The John who was married, and John Wick, the assassin. John wants to be free. But the only way he knows how is through John Wick. And John Wick keeps fucking killing people and breaking rules. We’re really watching a person fight for their life and their soul.”

“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” hits theaters nationwide May 17th. Reeves told GQ he’ll keep making these films “as far as the audience wants to go.”

Jussie Smollett is expected not to return to “Empire” as Fox renewed for a sixth season.

“Empire” is returning to Fox in the fall, but one of its most famous cast members will not be reprising their roles for the new season. In an announcement on Tuesday, Fox revealed the renewal for another season but the cast member who has been in the middle of controversy this year is not returning to the show.

A statement from Fox Entertainment and 21st Century FOX read, “By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire.’”

Paired with the Season 6 renewal news, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn saluted the show’s creative team without bringing up Smollett by name. “We want to thank everyone on the show – Taraji, Terrence, and the entire cast, as well as Lee, Danny, Brett, Sanaa, Brian, Francie, Dennis, and their teams – all of whom have done a tremendous job this season,” Thorn said.

Jussie Smollett Charges

This news comes after Smollett will not be tried on new charges from an alleged staged hate crime attack on January 29th. Following new evidence that surfaced contradicting Smollett’s initial claims that two strangers attacked him, the actor was eventually taken into custody by Chicago police officers on February 21st. Charges against Smollett were ultimately dropped in late March, well after the event had become a national political controversy.

Jussie Smollett Attorneys

Smollett’s attorneys maintained his innocence. “This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong,” a statement read. Earlier this month, the city of Chicago filed a lawsuit against Smollett to recoup the $130,000 spent on the initial investigation into Smollett’s assertions.
