Actresses reveal their most traumatic and challenging moments and it is inspiring

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, several actresses sat down and discussed what their  most traumatic or challenging acting moment in the most recent season of their series.

Angela Bassett discussed working with snakes on American Horror Story: Coven. “Mind you, my character is supposed to be totally comfortable around these things and in charge of the moment, but I was introduced to them just before we shot the scene. My stomach was jumping around even though there was a snake wrangler on set, because these guys are so unpredictable,” she said. “I really earned my money that day.”

The scene was shot as part of a flashback sequence on-location. We had to do it in a single day, so I prepped hard. We don’t have trailers when we’re on location, but I found a quiet corner where I could have a safe little space. I fasted all day so that I would feel pure, clean, empty. I felt a great responsibility to that scene, and I tried to live the beautifully crafted story with honesty and with a grace of non-judgment. It meant a lot to me to be able to portray that story because I feel like it is a staggeringly familiar situation to far more women than we would like to think. I wanted them to be able to see themselves not as victims, but as survivors.

There are a ton of insightful interviews in the Hollywood Reporter article. It gives you a unique perspective as to how these famous actors get into character and create scenes that we enjoy, and never forget.

3 Things You Should Do After Having an Audition

0

Continue to apply for roles after having a great audition it will keep your spirit up.

If you have a good audition with a casting director, it’s pretty easy to wait and sit back for their decision or callback. But, if you want to stop yourself from agonizing while they make that decision we suggest that you keep applying for more jobs and opportunities.

It may seem straightforward, but anyone who has a great audition knows that you feel so confident and relaxed that it is easy just to sit back and wait for  a call back. But, that is the last thing you would like to do, instead here are 3 things you should after a great audition.

  1. Remember that ever production company is different. There is no rule that a producer will respond to you in 24 hours or even a month. However, if you don’t hear anything back after a week or so, that typically means “no”.
  2. Move on as soon as you finish your audition. Keep planning for your next production or audition. Don’t get stuck in the moment.
  3. Continue applying for other casting calls, short films, and other productions while waiting for the response. It will protect you from feeling rejected if the production company later says no.

The next time you find yourself worrying over an audition, remember that you are better off looking for your next production than sitting by the phone.

Taye Diggs Argues Hollywood Does Not Like to Take Risks with Black Films

0

Hollywood actor, Taye Diggs, says studios set double standards for black films.

Actor Taye Diggs recently spoke on the the approach Hollywood has towards African American films and argues that Hollywood is separate and not equal.

Whether a studio decides to proceed in making a black-oriented film can depend on the success of other movies with a primarily African-American cast, even if the productions are not even connected.

In a recent interview, Taye Diggs said that he and his cast mates of “The Best Man Holiday” were excited to start on a sequel. However, a sequel was dependent not upon the success of their feature film, but on how black-oriented films, including “Think Like a Man Too,” perform at the box office.

“Unfortunately, the business is such that as far as studios are concerned, they judge one quote-unquote black movie on how other ‘black’ movies have done, even if they have nothing to do with each other,”

“We’ve definitely come a long way. But we’ve got a long way to go,” Diggs comments. “It’s too bad we can’t do well on our own merit when it comes to the studios. They don’t like to take risks and, unfortunately, we’re still considered a huge risk, even though I don’t think we are.”

The Best Man Holiday” made nearly $70 million in North America last year and was highly profitable for the studio companies, according to Paul Degarabedian, senior analyst for box-office tracker, Rentrak.

Taye Diggs is known for his lead roles in movies such as, “The Wood“, “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” and “Rent“. He is currently featured in the new TNT drama, “Murder in the First“.

McDonald’s Wants to Increase Minimum Wage, Should Hollywood Too?

0

Since Fast Food employees started protesting against working conditions, McDonald’s has always been quiet regarding minimum wage; Until recently.

CEO Don Thompson recently spoke at Northwestern University and came out to support President Obama‘s proposed $10.10 wage increase. Despite, fast food employees asking for $15, McDonald’s CEO looks as though he plans to change the pay scale for thousands of employees across the nation.

“McDonald’s will be fine,” he reportedly told Northwestern. “We’ll manage through whatever the additional cost implications are.”

The implications of McDonald’s increasing their minimum wage may send shockwaves throughout the country and even affect the Television and Film Industry. Currently, the lowest paid position on a film and TV crew is the background extra. They average extra earns minimum wage to $8/hour. If Congress finally does decide to increase minimum wage, then the cost for background extras will increase.

Considering that the average SAG background extra is unable to make a $14,000/yr, increasing the minimum wage for extras may just be a good thing. Improving compensation for extras could provide producers with a group of professional, qualified and experienced extras who know what to do on set. Or, producers run the risk of a group of extras that take cell phone photos of the actors and sell them to tabloids and even ruin a multi-million dollar feature film.

Do you think Hollywood should pay extras more money? Would it hurt productions to pay extras $10.10/hr? What are your thoughts? Share them with us in the comments below!

Hollywood Uses this Song in Almost All Movies

0

Hollywood loves to use the same songs over and over again in movies and television shows.

Few albums in the last five years have had a bigger impact on movie music than M83’s “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.”

The lead single from the record, “Midnight City” has appeared on numerous films and television shows including the upcoming “22 Jump Street.”

This week’s latest movie, “The Fault in Our Stars,” also features the album’s fifth single, “Wait” and it adds drama to the already dramatic feature film.

But, one of the biggest songs that is used continuously in Hollywood is “Outro” and it has been used from the trailer for “Cloud Atlas” to the trailer for Warner Bros. new feature film, “If I stay” to even the “Fifth Estate“.

Movies produce the feelings of heartbreak, excitement, and happiness. But, it is rare that a single song can capture all of these emotions at once.

Philip Seymour Hoffman reflects on happiness, life, and his children in this unheard interview.

This animated video of Philip Seymour Hoffman discussing his thoughts on happiness, life, and being with his family is something you have to see.

Philip Seymour Hoffman gives some philosophical insights on his life and life itself. Even after he has passed away, he leaves us with something to think about.

Thanks to Disney’s Frozen, Norway has seen a rise in tourism.

Arendelle, the kingdom that is featured in Disney’s Frozen, may be a fictional place, but that is not stopping a plethora of kids, and their thrill seeking parents to travel to Norway. Tourist experts are now saying that tour sales have increased by nearly 40% since the movie was released.

Harald Hansen, U.S. spokesman for Visit Norway, said the number of U.S. tourists to Norway increased markedly since the film’s release in November, with booked hotel nights up 37 percent for the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2013. He said tour operators have also seen a 40 percent sales increase this year, compared to the same period last year, while Oslo Airport Gardermoen reported a 57 percent increase in arrivals from New York for the first quarter.

“We noticed a huge increase from the U.S. already in November and December last year, just after we started our marketing with Disney in October,” Hansen said. [via]

According to IMDB, Disney’s ‘Frozen‘ centers on a “fearless optimist Anna teams up with Kristoff in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf in a race to find Anna’s sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom in eternal winter.”

Frozen fans are extremely dedicated. After recent reports that a fan of Disney’s Frozen divorced her husband because he did not like movie, you can only assume that Disney may just have the most hardcore fans in the world.
