Critics Bash ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’ Open Casting Call

0

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 director James Gunn was forced to respond to complaints following an alleged “sexist” casting call.

After the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 casting call went viral online yesterday, many people were upset and immediately started complaining calling the new movie sexist.

The Mary Sue said: ‘If this is what women have to put up with to break into Hollywood, then it makes sense why we’re lacking in representation of body types and looks on the big screen.

‘The problem starts here at the source, at the entry-level work that’s being offered to women. If you can’t fit in to some ideal form, then there’s just no opportunities out there for you starting out. It becomes that much more difficult to gain footing.’

James Gunn responded to the criticism on Twitter, defending the open casting call.

One fan asked: ‘This would seem to be very lame @JamesGunn – is there some story reason for no female “character” aliens?’

He replied: ‘There are DOZENS of cultures in GotGVol2. These are the 1st two we’re shooting (the Ravagers are all male).

‘Again, two groups of many’ Gunn commented again on Twitter, ‘There are plenty of funny looking female aliens. These are just a small % of extras.’

If you are interested in attending the open casting call, it will take place at the Georgia International Convention Center on Saturday, November 7th through Sunday, November 8th from 12 to 6 PM:

Georgia International Convention Center 

1902 Sullivan Rd.

Atlanta, Georgia

The first Guardians of the Galaxy featured Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Vin Diesel. It would later become a box office hit making nearly $775 million dollars worldwide. The release of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017. Details surrounding the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie have not been revealed.

Did Hollywood plan on creating a “Ferris Bueller” sequel?

Matthew Broderick admitted to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that there were discussions of a follow-up to the 1980s hit movie but it never happened.

“It was discussed but it kind of never went very far,” Broderick explained. “But it wasn’t me, it was just nobody really agreed on what to do and when to do it.”

Andy Cohen asked the Broderick, if he regrets not pushing for a sequel.

“Now I look back and I think, ‘Yeah that was a great idea.’ They should have done a lot of them…I think what I would have had now.”

Why the Tupac Biopic May NEVER Actually Happen

0

LAWSUIT: Tupac biopic lawsuit for $10 million may put the future of the movie in jeopardy.

Following the success of Straight Outta Compton, the NWA biopic, fans and producers were eagerly searching for the next hip hop movie adaptation. Then came along, the Tupac biopic. Fans and producers celebrated at the chance of watching Tupac’s life story unfold on the big screen. There were several open casting calls across the country looking for actors to play the legendary infamous Tupac Shakur. Most recently, WSA Casting held an open casting call in Atlanta for Atlanta male actors to audition for the role. Then it was revealed that producers may have found their leading man for the movie. Everything was moving forward

But, all of that may be coming to an end.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Emmett/Furla Oasis claims Morgan Creek broke the companies’ co-producing contract for the Tupac biopic by hiring an actor and creating a production schedule with out their consent or approval.

The company now wants $10 million in damages.

From THR:

In the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Emmett/Furla principals Randall Emmett and George Furla say “the development of the Picture had stalled and the project was essentially dormant for a few years” by the time they became attached to the film in 2013.

Emmett and Furla say they signed an agreement to produce the biopic with Morgan Creek in September 2013. Terms of the agreement include a production budget not above $30 million, mutual approval for the production schedule and distribution and sales agreements and sole approval for Emmett/Furla of the director (Carl Franklin recently replaced John Singleton) and the actor who would portray Shakur, they say.

Apparently, things got heated after the release of Straight Outta Compton, as Morgan Creek pushed the Emmett and Furla to come up with the money to start filming of the Tupac Biopic. 

The plaintiffs allege a month after the release of Compton, Morgan Creek required they produce immediate evidence they could pay half the film’s production budget and agree “to new and arbitrary terms that were not part of the original … agreement” or otherwise forfeit their participation in the project. A month later, they say, Morgan Creek informed them the budget for the project would exceed $34 million and renewed the demand for Emmett/Furla to provide 50 percent.

Emmett and Furla refused, they say.

The plaintiffs now want $10 million in damages. In addition, they claim breaches of contract, breach of the implied covenant and breach of fiduciary duty.

Brad Pitt Reveals What It’s Like Working With Angelina Jolie and It’s Amazing

Brad Pitt reveals what it’s like working for his wife Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt will appear on the cover of V Magazine’s latest issue and the A-list actor opened up about what it was like working with his wife Angelina Jolie in the upcoming movie By the Sea, a movie that centers around the emotional breakdown of a married couple.

“It was probably not the wisest way to spend a honeymoon. But then again, fighting to make something together … what better metaphor for marriage?” the actor said about working alongside opposite Angelina Jolie, who also wrote and directed the By the Sea. 

“It’s surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife. She’s decisive, incredibly intuitive, knife-sharp, and might I say, sexy at her post. I trust her with my life,” Pitt shared. “For this one, I operated on pure instinct. Angie and I have too much history and understanding of each other to question beyond there.”

The couple first started working together ten years ago on set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. On filming By the Sea, which is the first movie together since the action thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Brad Pitt noted that he and Jolie revealed that they wanted to make a movie together as a family by saying let’s “keep it a family affair.”

“We, by our own admission, were overdue,” he said. “If I’m going to work, I want to work with my wife.”

By the Sea hits theaters on November 13th.

Hollywood’s biggest celebrities took to Twitter to bash the arrest of a South Carolina high school student, who was forcibly thrown onto the grown by a police officer after allegedly refusing to hand over her phone to a teacher.

The arrest occurred Monday at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina.

One of the student’s classmates, who videotaped the arrest, told USA Today the girl had her phone out while working on her computer.

The classmate said the teacher asked for her phone, and when the student refused, an administrator was called into the room to take the girl to the discipline office.

The classmate explained, “She really didn’t do anything wrong. She said that she had took her phone out, but it was only for a quick second.”

Deputy Ben Fields then was called to help remove the student from teh class, and the video shows what happened next.

Fields has been placed on administrative leave, pending the results of an investigation.

Since then, Hollywood has spoken out against the Spring Valley High School arrest using the hashtag #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh.

LAPD Union Joins the Call for the Boycott of Quentin Tarantino Movies

0

LAPD Union is joining the NYPD boycott of Quentin Tarantino movies.

The police union representing the Los Angeles Police Department has joined New York City’s police department union in their boycott of Quentin Tarantino movies.

According to reports, following Quentin Tarantino’s appearance at a anti-police brutality rally in New York City, Los Angeles Police Department unions are calling for all LAPD police to stop watching any Quentin Tarantino movies.

“We fully support constructive dialogue about how police interact with citizens. But there is no place for inflammatory rhetoric that makes police officers even bigger targets than we already are,” Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said in a statement Tuesday.

“Film director Quentin Tarantino took irresponsibility to a new and completely unacceptable level this past weekend by referring to police as murderers during an anti-police march in New York. He made this statement just four days after a New York police officer was gunned down in the line of duty.

“New York police and union leaders immediately called out Tarantino for his unconscionable comments, with union head Patrick Lynch advocating a boycott of his films. We fully support this boycott ofQuentin Tarantino films,” Lally continued. “Hateful rhetoric dehumanizes police and encourages attacks on us. And questioning everything we do threatens public safety by discouraging officers from putting themselves in positions where their legitimate actions could be falsely portrayed as thuggery.”

Quentin Tarantino made police officers furious when he told a crowd of protesters at the rally in New York City that cops are the real “murderers”.

“When I see murders, I do not stand by…. I have to call a murder a murder, and I have to call the murderers the murderers,” the Pulp Fiction director said.

Patrick Lynch, the president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association – the police union for NYPD, called Quentin Tarantino a “purveyor of degeneracy” who “has no business coming to our city to peddle his slanderous ‘Cop Fiction’.”

“It’s no surprise that someone who makes a living glorifying crime and violence is a cop-hater, too. The police officers that Quentin Tarantino calls ‘murderers’ aren’t living in one of his depraved big-screen fantasies — they’re risking and sometimes sacrificing their lives to protect communities from real crime and mayhem,” Lynch said, adding, “It’s time for a boycott of Quentin Tarantino’s films.”

Jared Fogle Bragged About Child-Sex Crimes in Secret Recordings

0

In secret audio recording, Jared Fogle bragged about having sex with children.

Humiliated, disgraced, and former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle was caught on secretly recorded audio tapes bragging about his attraction to kids. Fogle also said hew anted to travel “across the world” to sleep with more and more children.

“I would fly us clear across the world if we need to. To Thailand or wherever we want to go. If we’re gonna try to get some young kids with us it would be a lot easier,” the former Subway spokesperson told Rochelle Herman-Walrond, a former Florida writer who had became friends with Jared Fogle so she could expose his history of sexual abuse of children and pedophilia.

Herman-Walrond first met Fogle nine years ago when he was a guest on her radio show and he shocked her by saying middle-school girls were “hot.” She later taped conversations that she would turn over to the FBI, leading to criminal charges against Fogle and his bestfriend.

Fogle later had to pay out $1 million to 10 of his 14 victims after pleading guilty to child-pornography and sex-crime charges. He faces between 5 to 12 years in prison. Subsequently, his wife Katie, filed for divorce after the scandal went viral.

The recordings and an interview with Herman-Walrond are scheduled to be aired Thursday and Friday on the Dr. Phil show.

At one point, she asked him about being with kids. This is what Fogle had to say: “I had a little boy. It was amazing,” the 38-year-old Fogle said. “It just felt so good. I mean, it felt — it felt so good.”

She also asked Fogle if he preferred little boys or little girls. “Both of them,” he answered, according to audio posted on the Dr. Phil Web site.

Jared Fogle also asked her disturbing questions about even her own kids. “Are there any of your kids’ friends that you think are pretty hot? What if we put a camera in your kids’ room, would they be OK with that?” he said.

A horrified Herman-Walrond told Dr. Phil she started to feel like a victim after investigating Jared Fogle for so long.

“I had to be two separate people in order to continue on with this investigation,” she said.
