“Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery. Over the brand’s almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president,” the 28-year-old actress told E! News in a statement. “I’m so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can’t imagine better partners than Warner Bros. and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.”

The Barbie movie was originally produced by Sony Pictures, but the movie studio passed on the project and Mattel took back the rights. Margot Robbie signed a deal with Warner Bros. in 2016.

“Barbie is one of the most iconic franchises in the world and we are excited to partner with Warner Bros. Pictures and Margot Robbie to bring her to life on the big screen. We look forward to building on this collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures as we tell the stories of our beloved brands,” Kreiz, chairman and CEO of Mattel, said in a statement. “Mattel Films is on a path to demonstrate the enormous potential of our brand portfolio, as we continue to execute on our strategy of transforming Mattel into an IP-driven, high performing toy company.”

In a statement, Schumer said, “Sadly, I’m no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts. The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners. I’m bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen.” A Sony spokesperson said, “We respect and support Amy’s decision. We look forward to bringing Barbie to the world and sharing updates on casting and filmmakers soon.”

Here’s What the ‘Bird Box’ Monsters Were Supposed to Look Like

Netflix’s original movie Bird Box has dominated the internet since its release last month. From memes to the viral Bird Box challenge, another question everyone has been asking is what exactly do those “invisible” monsters look like?

Thanks to special effects makeup designer Andy Bergholtz, who worked on the movie, shared several pictures of what the creatures were supposed to look like. Of course, this is just one version of the monster, considering each victim saw something different. The film’s choice in never revealing the monster created more suspense, considering viewers had to use their own imaginations to create their own monsters.

Check out the creation below shared by Bergholtz, which was sadly cut from the final film. “Keep in mind, the fatal ‘vision’ that each character saw would most likely be different for each person,” he explained in the caption. “You’ll understand if you’ve seen the film. […] Considering her pregnant state and emotional arc thru the movie, the producers felt Sandra’s nightmare would have something to do with a twisted, demonic baby creature attacking her.”

Jimmy Fallon’s version of the Bird Box monster

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon parodied the hit Netflix movie Bird Box on Monday with a little help from special guest Lindsay Lohan, The Roots, and Steve Higgins.

In the parody, Fallon delivered Sandra Bullock’s serious opening monologue and told The Roots and his “sidekick” to cover their eyes before they go outside. Instead of being faced with invisible creatures, they were confronted with Lindsay Lohan.

Christian Bale Thanks ‘Satan’ For Inspiration to Play Dick Cheney in ‘Vice’

During Christian Bale’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, Christian Bale gave a shoutout to the devil for inspiring him to play former Vice President Dick Cheney.

“Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role,” Bale said, which received a few laughs from the crowd.

Bale accepted the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for his role in Vice.

As for Bale’s next acting gig, the Golden Globe award-winning actor had an idea. “What do you think, Mitch McConnell next?” Bale asked, referring to the Senate Majority Leader. “That would be good, wouldn’t it?”

Bale has been gaining attention this awards-season for his portrayal as Cheney in the Adam McKay comedy-drama. The movie, despite critical acclaim, struggled to compete against big budget movies.  “Vice” chronicles Cheney’s role in shaping George W. Bush’s eight years in the White House.

This news comes after Christian Bale reportedly saved the Vice movie’s director from a heart attack.

For his role in Vice, where he plays former US Vice President, Dick Cheney, Bale put on 34 pounds. However, it was his study of heart attack symptoms, which has proved to be a valuable acting skill.

Adam McKay

Cheney famously suffers from cardiovascular disease, having his first of five heart attacks when he was only 37 years old, before going on to receive a heart transplant at age 71. To convey his heart attacks accurately, Bale researched the symptoms, not knowing it would save the life of the director, Adam McKay.

McKay suffered a heart attack of his own in January and said if it were not for a conversation on set with Bale, he might have died.

In an interview with Deadline, 50-year-old McKay said: “We finish the movie, and I call my trainer. I say, we got to get on it, man. I’m too heavy.

“Our third workout, I get tingly hands and my stomach starts going queasy. I always thought when you get a heart attack, it’s pain in the chest or the arm.

“But then I remembered, when we shot one of the heart attack scenes, Christian Bale asked me, ‘How do you want me to do it?’ And I go, ‘What do you mean? It’s a heart attack. Your arm hurts, right?’

“He says, ‘No, no. One of the more common ways is that you get really queasy and your stomach hurts.’ I said, ‘Really?’ I’d never heard that before.

“And right in that moment I went, ‘Oh shit,’ and I ran upstairs and downed a bunch of baby aspirin, and I called my wife who immediately called 911. Got to the hospital really fast, and the doctor said, because you did that, no damage was done, your heart is still really strong.

“That’s because I remembered Christian Bale telling me that. The doctor said you got to quit smoking, that’s what’s doing this to you. You need to lose weight, but smoking’s making it four times worse.

“I called Christian a week later and said, either you or Dick Cheney just saved my life.”

Jeff Bridges gave a special shout-out to his stand-in Loyd Catlett after working with him for over 50 years.

During Sunday night’s Golden Globes ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored Jeff Bridges’ lifetime achievement in film with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. The recognition comes after working over 60 years in the entertainment industry. His incredible body of work has been recognized multiple times at the Globes, most recently for 2017’s Hell Or High Water, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association highlighted his most popular role — “The Dude” from the pop-cultural hit movie The Big Lebowski. Bridges, who is known for many words did not disappoint after Chris Pine introduced the actor.

Jeff Bridges talked about his stand-in actor Loyd Catlett who has worked with Bridges through 70+ films over the course of 50 years starting with The Last Picture Show in 1971.

Bridges also touched on his previous acting jobs. “If I’m lucky, I’ll be associated with The Dude for the rest of my life,” he raved. “And I feel so honored to be a part of that movie.”

“We can make a difference,” he also declared on a more serious part of his speech. “We can turn this ship in the way we want to go, man! We can turn this ship toward love, toward creating a healthy planet for all of us. Tag, you’re it!” Overall, it’s a speech that won’t soon be forgotten.

Past recipients include Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, and Meryl Streep, Alfred Hitchcock, and Clint Eastwood, among others.

NBC’s ‘Chicago Med’ is Now Casting Actors for a Large Accident Scene

0

NBC’s Chicago Med is now casting extras for a large accident scene in Chicago, Illinois.

NBC is now hiring background actors to work on a large accident scene. Producers are looking for African American, Latino, Asian men and women ages 18 to 70 years old who can work multiple days from Monday, January 14th through Friday, January 25th. According to the casting call breakdown, casting directors are looking for people “to play victims and neighbors. We might put dirt and fake blood on you, or your clothes (from our wardrobe department), and you might be at the accident or back at our hospital.”

About Chicago Med:

Executive producer Dick Wolf adds another Chicago-centric series to his roster, this time focusing on the city’s most explosive hospital and its staff of doctors and nurses — a world first glimpsed in the “I Am the Apocalypse” episode of “Chicago Fire.” Relationships are forged in the chaos of the emergency room, where the team tackles cases inspired by topical events. Familiar faces from the city’s police (“Chicago P.D.”) and fire departments make appearances as the rich world continues to grow.
