A video has emerged showing a pet lion attacking a documentary filmmaker while the owners struggle to save him.The shocking footage, taken during a shoot in the Czech Republic, shows the crew member trying to escape the lion’s hold as it bites down into him.
The lion owner and producer then race to free him from its grip. Luckily the crew member is only left with scratches on his back and stomach.
Footage of the incident surfaced this week, but the incident was captured in November 2013.

Some Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Scenes were directed over Skype.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves recently spoke to /FILM about working with actors over Skype for the first time in his career, after realizing he wanted to try something different in a scene with Andy Serkis.
So we did a thing where Andy was in London and he was at [his performance capture studio] the Imaginarium. And we hooked up via Skype and I looked at a big plasma and I talked him through what was going on in that last sequence as he’s coming down those steps. And we basically did it over Skype.
This was not his only time he directed from a computer. Reeves also discussed a Skype session where he had to re-film scenes they’d already shot, during which his actors where in different countries:
And so Jason Clarke was in Rome shooting this Everest movie and he was in a hotel room after a day’s shooting. And we were on the Volume [in Manhattan Beach California] and he was performing the new version of the scene to Andy who was in a fluorescent room and he was on Skype. And they played off of Skype and then a few weeks later I went back and shot, I got Jason here in L.A. and I shot him and Keri Russell against greenscreen. And then I had Andy over Skype and they played to Andy on Skype.
He points out that he is not sure if he’s the first one to direct over Skype, but that he would be okay with taking credit for it.
Will Skype become the new trend in Hollywood? Can a director work on two projects at the same time and never leave their living room? What do you think? Share with us your thoughts in the comments below!

According to a new study, Jimmy Fallon spends less time talking than anyone else in late night television.
The study was conducted by Stephen Winzenburg, a communications professor at Grand View University, and shows that Fallon spends only 37% of the time “talking” to his guests on his show. That is far less than Jay Leno or Johnny Carson.
Fallon spends about 21 percent of his time on his monologue (not considered “talk”), just as Leno did, but Fallon spends 23 percent on comedy bits and 14 percent on music, both significantly higher than what Leno was doing as host of the show.
With 37 percent of his show dedicated to talk, Fallon is way below his peers. Craig Ferguson is next lowest at 43 percent; Jimmy Kimmel is at 48 percent; Seth Meyers and David Letterman are each at 51 percent; and Conan O’Brien is at 53 percent. [via]
Winzenberg argues that Jimmy Fallon does not have great interviewing skills and instead uses his Saturday Night Live background to make the show work.
“Fallon may have made the changes to downplay his weak interviewing skills and better utilize his Saturday Night Live background. But he also abandoned the edgy political humor of prior Tonight hosts in favor of song parodies and celebrity beer pong.” … “His relatively small amount of talk time is closer to that used by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert…. The Tonight Show has become successful by looking more like a comedy variety series than a traditional talk show.”
And this entire time, I thought silence was golden.

HBO’s True Detective must have a good time manipulating the emotions of his fans. But, he has a lot to celebrate. His TV show received 12 Emmy nominations on Thursday, including a nomination for Pizzolatto himself for outstanding writing for a drama series. His show recieved nominations for Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and a nomination for outstanding drama.
But, when it was first believed that the show would only have . It is now reported that the show will have four central roles. He recently spoke with the Daily Beast on what he plans to do with HBO’s ‘True Detective‘ Season 2. “That ballooned a little bit. I would say there are four central roles,” he says now. And we’ll have to “wait and see” if any of the leads are women, so that is an exciting development.
It’s still set in California, though. But, depending on how quickly these changes are happening. Nobody really knows for sure what is going to happen. Only, Nic Pizzolatto and he is holding out more than LeBron James and ‘The Decision 2014‘.

‘Fast and Furious 7’ finishes filming and writes open letter to fans
Vin Diesel has been working hard to keep his fans entertained and in the loop during the filming of ‘Fast and Furious 7.’
“Fast and Furious 7” has officially finished filming and is set for release in theaters next April.
Production of FF7 has released a message to fans on its Facebook page on Thursday, thanking them for their support 0f the movie.
Since Paul Walker passed away, ‘Fast and Furious 7’ producers have been really open with fans throughout the entire filming process.
Read the letter in its entirety below:
We made it.
Today we completed the last shot in the production of FAST & FURIOUS 7.
We wanted to take this moment to express how thankful we are for your support. We felt the love and strength from our fans throughout this journey, and it’s because of you that we got here.
There was a time when we didn’t know how we could go on, or even if we should. But we listened to you, and you inspired us not only to keep going but to try and make the best FAST & FURIOUS movie yet.
Our FAST family has been together for almost fifteen years now and has grown a lot in that time. From the start, Vin has been our leader who feels what’s right for FAST in his gut and in his heart. When we had to stop production last year, Vin gathered us back together and moved us forward when we needed it most. He led us to this day.
Some of us have been here from the very beginning. Vin, Michelle, Jordana and our producer Neal all go back to that first little movie we shot on the streets of LA. We came back to LA in FAST 7, and it was an especially emotional homecoming for those who’ve grown up with each other since that first shoot.
There are those we count as brothers who we gathered along the way and are with us again: Dwayne, Tyrese, Luda, Lucas and our writer, Chris. We’ve got some new additions this time in Jason, Kurt, Djimon, Nathalie and our director, James. Caleb and Cody joined us to honor their brother and help complete his work.
Our family is big and strong but it won’t ever quite be whole again without Paul.
All of us — those who’ve been here from the start and those whose first FAST film is 7 — wanted to create a special film for him and for you. We believe we have.
Thank you for being there for us. You are the biggest part of our family, and we couldn’t have gotten here without you.
The countdown to April 3 begins.
With love,
Your FAST & FURIOUS Family
“Fast and Furious 7” will be released April 3, 2015.

But, when you have big egos, method actors, and serious movie scenes things can hit a tipping point.
Some actors have worked together and their experience was so bad that they have decided to never work with them again.
Here are 10 actors that do not get along and will absolutely not work again together:
10. Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano
It is rumored that Shannen Doherty has a reputation as being someone extremely hard to work with. But, it comes to no surprise that Alyssa Milano refused to work with her ever again. Doherty was fired from “Charmed” and it was rumored that it was because they would continuously argue on set of the series.
9. Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis
Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis have had several confrontations in the past. But, it is rumored that they cannot stand the sight of each other. They worked together in the movie “Cop Out” and it is rumored that there was a ton of drama on the set. Smith has been quoted as saying that the film was “soul crushing” and working with Willis was “difficult.” Willis responded by calling Smith “a whiner,” but says he doesn’t want to call out the director. Doesn’t sound like these two will ever patch things up.
8. Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts
Everyone loves Julia Roberts right? Wrong. Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts worked together on “I Love Trouble.” The movie did not do too well in the box office due to lack of on-screen chemistry. It was mostly because Roberts said that Nolte is “completely disgusting” and Nolte’s response is that “she’s not a nice person”.
7. William Baldwin and Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone worked with William Baldwin in the movie “Silver”, and there was so much on screen tension that Baldwin bit his own tongue and was unable to talk for days. “Silver” did horribly in the box office, due to the lack of chemistry.
6. Bill Murray and Lucy Liu
Wonder why Bill Murray was not in the Charlies Angels sequel? Bill Murray had an offscreen feud with Lucy Liu that was so bad they had to keep the actor away from the set. Bill Murray called out Liu’s acting skills in front of everyone, while complimenting Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. Liu did not take this sitting down and the crew members had to separate them.
5. James Franco and Tyrese Gibson
As a method actor, James Franco can get really into his character. Tyrese Gibson felt that Franco was rude on the set of the movie “Annapolis” and Franco would actually hit Tyrese during the fight scenes. Tyrese took this personally and said, “I never want to work with him again, and I’m sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal.”
4. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj
These two queens of music were added to the American Idol series. The world was excited for these two personalities. But, these two divas ended up hating each other. After a video leaked of Carey and Minaj fighting during auditions, their on-stage personalities became hard to watch.
3. Shia LaBeouf and Alec Baldwin
The two actors are known be difficult. But, when the two actors were paired together on a Broad show, “Orphans”, they could not get along. LaBeouf attacked Baldwin because he was frustrated that Baldwin was slowing him down. LaBeouf was later fired and replaced.
2. Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds
Watching Blade:Trinity there was nothing to let you know that they didn’t get along. But, Wesely Snipes were never really used in the movie only for close ups. So, it gave the time for Ryan Reynolds to use the screen time to his advantage and rumors had it, that he did.
1. LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx
LL Cool J is a method actor and he did not break character during filming of ‘Any Given Sunday’. While filming a fight scene, LL continued to hit Jamie Foxx even after director Oliver Stone called cut. This led to Foxx calling the police and filing assault charges. LL told the police, “It wasn’t Jamie and I fighting. It was our characters.”

Juggalos, the Insane Clown Posse Fans are now officially gang members.
US District Court judge Robert Cleland ruled last week that the FBI did nothing wrong when it named the fan base of rap-metal group Insane Clown Posse as a “loosely organized hybrid gang” in a 2011 report.
The fans were labeled thanks to several of the members’ criminal activity, assault, vandalism, and a logo showing a man running with a hatchet.
The group came to the attention of the FBI in 2007 following the “Gathering of theJuggalos” drew a crowd of over 6000 fans and took over a town of 400 people in Illinois. 22 people were arrested on drug charges, and teens were found beating homeless people in Oregon, while two Seattle Juggalos were charged with murder.
Alongside the ACLU, the Juggalos filed a lawsuit saying they were being discriminated against by police who saw their eccentric style as signs of dangerous gang behavior.
Featureflash / Shutterstock.com
The label, Cleland wrote, ”does not recommend any particular course of action for local law enforcement to follow, and instead operates as a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, assessment of nationwide gang trends.”
Displeased with the verdict, ICP member Violent J promised to not rest until it was overturned.
“This is not the end. We’ll keep fighting to clear the Juggalo family name,” he said in a statement. ”While it is easy to fear what one does not understand, discrimination and bigotry against any group of people is just plain wrong and un-American.”
