Emily Blunt is just one more on the absurdly lengthy list of people who adore Charlize Theron. The former’s heartfelt admission of admiration for her delightful The Huntsman: Winter’s War co-star is the epitome of Tinseltown girl crushes —and it’s utterly infectious!

It’s not just Blunt & Theron’s fans who are in awe; even Blunt’s husband, the ever-witty John Krasinski, jested about joining the admiration train. And let’s not forget Theron’s flirty response, teasing a meeting with Blunt in the “back valley”, topping off this delightful exchange with a dash of banter.

Many generations have grown up loving the Star Wars film franchise, which is among the most adored of all time. It is a hit, and so is its cast, which included the unforgettable late Carrie Fisher. While fans continue to mourn her death, a recent touching revelation from her friend James Blunt reflected on the pressures she faced in the industry, particularly those demanding she maintain a youthful, slender figure.

Indeed, the global shock that followed Fisher’s unexpected demise in 2016 still reverberates through the hearts of fans and cinephiles alike. At 60, she had just reignited our collective nostalgia with her return to the galaxy far, far away as Princess Leia in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Yet according to Blunt, Star Wars executives had “put pressure on her to be thin”, which is why Fisher was “mistreating...

About Dry Grasses (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)

Nuri Bilge Ceylan made a triumphant return to Cannes last year with About Dry Grasses, for which Merve Dizdar won Best Actress at Cannes, and now Turkey’s Oscar entry now arrives on streaming. In his review, Leonardo Goi said, “The pastures in Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s luminous new film are only dry at the very end. Save for that brief summery coda, the landscape in About Dry Grasses remains a snowcapped immensity where prairies are ringed by belittling peaks, people stand out as calligraphic silhouettes, and snow falls so heavy as to blot out everything. It’s as if it fell ‘to make oblivion possible,’ observes art teacher Samet (Deniz Celiloglu), and in a film...

The acclaimed Hollywood star Patrick Stewart once reflected on Piers Morgan’s CNN exit after his talk show was canceled. Launched in 2011, Piers Morgan Live featured interviews with politicians, celebrities, and public figures. Despite its three-year tenure, the program struggled to resonate with American primetime audiences, leading to its cancellation in 2014 amidst dwindling viewership.

The talk show host, however, suggested that the American audience was simply not interested in a British guy discussing the polarizing issues of their country. Stewart, who took on the role of British newscaster in the sitcom Blunt Talk, shared his thoughts on Morgan’s exit and the show’s cancellation during a 2015 interview.

Ryan Gosling dressed up as his character from the Beavis and Butt-Head sketch from his latest SNL appearance at The Fall Guy premiere, alongside Mikey Day. The original sketch went viral online, partly due to the actors breaking character looking at their ridiculous costumes. Their two characters also crashed Emily Blunt's red carpet interview and had some fun exchanges.

Ryan Gosling reprises his Saturday Night Live character on The Fall Guy red carpet, paying homage to Beavis and Butt-Head. Gosling has hosted the long-running NBC comedy show three times, but his most recent hosting gig in April, with musical guest Chris Stapleton, might be his most memorable yet. That's especially true because of a segment in which Gosling and SNL's Mikey Day played characters that looked strikingly like Beavis and Butt-Head without even realizing it. The sketch caught fire online, partly because Gosling and others, like cast member Heidi Gardner,...

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate Irish culture, history, and of course, to have a bit of fun! To those unfamiliar, March 17th marks the traditional death date of St. Patrick (Ireland’s patron saint). It used to be a religious day to remember him and how Christianity spread in Ireland.

The day is celebrated beyond Ireland as a way to embrace Irish culture. This day offers people a chance to enjoy traditional music, dancing, food, and drinks. Also, wearing green is a big part of it since it’s linked with Ireland.

Christopher Nolan is considered to be one of the greatest movie directors of all time, and rightfully so. His filmography screams quality instead of quantity. Despite having only directed twelve films, most are instantly recognizable even to casual moviegoers.

At this year’s Academy Awards, “The Fall Guy” stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt presented a video tribute to stunt performers that included clips ranging from the silent era up through recent action juggernauts like “Rrr” and the “Fast & Furious” series. It was a step forward for a group whose contributions are frequently undervalued despite, as Blunt put it, “risk[ing] life and limb” for cinema. And yet, the segment didn’t come with an award attached.

There’s a joke about the lack of Oscars for stunt people in “The Fall Guy,” directed by David Leitch — himself a former stuntman who doubled for Brad Pitt and Jean-Claude Van Damme before moving up into the director’s chair with “John Wick” in 2014. The film is based on the ABC series of the same name starring Lee Majors; although stunt performers aren’t officially recognized by the Academy, their derring-do...

“The Fall Guy” cannon-rolled into SXSW on Tuesday, injecting a big dose of star power and a movie that celebrates moviemaking into the Austin atmosphere as the festival reached its halfway point.

The Universal Pictures action-comedy stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt and Hannah Waddingham in a romantic comedy romp that bears no resemblance to the drama series that aired on ABC from 1981 to 1986. Gosling plays a veteran stuntman for a self-obsessed movie star who gets wrapped up in a murder plot and falls in love with a budding director.

“It was a love letter to stunts and to crews,” “Fall Guy” director David Leitch explained to the SXSW crowd after the film had its world premiere at Austin’s Paramount Theatre. Leitch noted that Gosling’s incredible versatility as an actor gave them a lot of room to expand the story.

“Ryan’s an amazing actor,” said Leitch, who previously worked as a stuntman.

Kate Middleton, also known as Catherine, has been relatively out of the public eye for a while. Married to Prince William, the heir to the British throne, she is acknowledged for her charitable work and royal duties.

It was almost 10 years ago when Warner Bros. Pictures released Edge of Tomorrow, a sci-fi thriller from director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) that starred Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Edge of Tomorrow was acclaimed at the time of its release as a more intelligent than usual, character-driven and kinetic sci-fi action movie. Yet the studio, producers, and director ended up fighting over the movie’s title before it was even released, a classic Hollywood marketing conundrum that may have hurt the film’s chances.

Cruise plays Maj. William Cage, a public relations officer for the military in a future where Earth is trying to stave off an alien invasion. Forced to accompany troops on a combat mission, Cage is killed—but finds himself reliving the same day over and over again afterward. Desperate to change the outcome, he realizes that his fate is tied to that of the heroic Sgt.

A series of masterpieces, the Dune saga is inevitably one of the most exceptional fictional worlds that filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has effortlessly brought to life. It is unarguably one of the most immaculate novel-based adaptations, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, two of the currently raging hotshots in Hollywood, in the lead.

Yet, while all those die-hard Dune fans who have read the books are truly in love with Villeneuve’s live-action adaptations, other non-novel readers are accusing Dune: Part Two of being a ‘White Savior’ film, led by Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides. However, the novel readers aren’t one to just sit and watch the drama unfold as they absolutely destroy cancel culture over all these accusations!

Oppenheimer's Florence Pugh faced an unfortunate on-set moment when the camera broke during a steamy scene with Cillian Murphy. Instead of being deterred, Pugh humorously seized the opportunity to learn more about the camera's issue. Oppenheimer scored 13 Oscar nominations this year and is positioned to win in several of said categories.

Oppenheimer’s Florence Pugh describes an unfortunate on-set moment involving a camera breaking during a steamy scene. Pugh plays Jean Tatlock in the film, who is one of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s lovers, before he marries Kitty. Pugh is joined by stellar co-stars including the now Oscar-nominated Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy.

Speaking at a Universal panel (via The Hollywood Reporter), Pugh unveils her reaction to the camera breaking during one of Jean and Oppenheimer’s intimate scenes. In a commotion that Pugh describes as “not ideal timing,” the “camera broke when [Pugh and Murphy] were both naked.” Instead of shuddering at the situation,...

“My biggest challenge on ‘Oppenheimer’ was understanding the scope, understanding how we had to bring different periods across,” explains costume designer Ellen Mirojnick on the undertaking of the Christopher Nolan film. As she details, the epic look at the Manhattan Project and its architect J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) “took place over 45 years with ease in the cut, so you can’t have anything that’s gonna jump out of frame” in terms of her wardrobe choices. She discusses the scale of the task in a new video that Gold Derby is debuting exclusively, which also includes interviews with cast members and behind-the-scenes footage of filming. Watch the “Oppenheimer” exclusive video featurette above.

One of the key looks of the film for Mirojnick to get right was Oppenheimer’s trademark hat and pipe. She notes how the figure’s “silhouette from the beginning through the end of his life didn’t really change.

On today’s Crew Call we talk with The English composer Federico Jusid, who came into Hollywood’s spotlight after the industry caught his score on the Oscar winning 2009 foreign film, The Secret in Their Eyes.

In the Prime Video series, Emily Blunt plays Cornelia Locke, a woman who arrives to America in 1890 to avenge her son’s death. While an Ennio Morricone sound is natural with any western’s score, Jusid went further to distinguish The English from the rest, incorporating 19th century piano and strings to represent Locke’s homeland.

But if you’re relishing The English on a big screen TV, Jusid’s score sings through, giving it a theatrical quality. Talking about achieving that style, the composer tells Crew Call, “You allow yourself to use a wider orchestra, and of course, sometimes to take a slower tempo.” Jusid expounds on how he boarded the Hugo Blick created series,...

Emily Blunt has a cheeky but evasive response when questioned about the potential of her character, Evelyn Abbott, showing up in A Quiet Place: Day One. Blunt's Evelyn is one of the main characters in the A Quiet Place franchise. A Quiet Place first premiered in 2018 and was directed by Blunt's husband, John Krasinski, who also starred alongside her in the film. The film imagines a family surviving in silence in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by extraterrestrial species who rely on hearing to attack their victims. A Quiet Place spawned two sequels and now a spinoff film, A Quiet Place: Day One.

In an interview with Deadline, Blunt had a coy response to the question of whether she would appear in A Quiet Place: Day One. The film will be a spin-off/prequel that captures the earliest days of the extraterrestrial invasion. Since it's still set in A Quiet Place's universe,...

A wily old pro teams up with one of the most exciting young actresses of the day in the emotionally loaded drama A Good Person. Zach Braff’s latest feature excels at taking the measure of how people cope with personal tragedy and does so in a vital and engaging way that’s far more invigorating than depressing. Braff essentially makes one feature film every 10 years (Garden State and Wish I Was Here came before), and while he otherwise busies himself with music, television and other pursuits, his talent is such that you’d like to see him wade more frequently and deeper into film work than he so far has.

This may be melodrama, but it’s melodrama of a pretty high order, one that benefits from a first-rate cast led by Florence Pugh and Morgan Freema and shifts tones and moods that startle with their bluntness and honesty.

It’s rare for someone to play two different and unrelated characters on the same TV show, but one actor did wound up with two separate roles on The Office. With Dunder Mifflin Scranton being such a small office and operation, it would be difficult for an actor to pop in and out as different characters without audiences recognizing them, yet over the course of nine seasons, one person pulled double duty and mostly went unnoticed.

On The Office, Michael Scott had many alter-egos, as he enjoyed improvising and playing different characters to make his day more entertaining. Among the characters he'd transform into, there was Prison Mike, Ping, and Michael Scarn, all of them used to get himself out of his current reality. However, it wasn’t Steve Carell who showed up as two entirely different characters on the show; it was an actor who appeared separately in seasons...

How much dramatic license is excessive? Do artists have a responsibility to create positive representations around public figures, especially if they’re beloved and inspire reams of adulation and pity from admirers? Andrew Dominik, with his long, long-awaited adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel Blonde—a free biography of the life of Marilyn Monroe—maybe simply doesn’t care about these questions. Yet he undoubtedly cares about the real life––and especially the fragile inner world––of his subject, famously born Norma Jeane Desmond. But in his unforgiving portrait of her travails and lacks in this world he bravely gambles on (and will potentially lose) the majority of his audience’s good faith by focusing so heavily on the pain and affliction she endured.

For those very familiar with Marilyn Monroe, Blonde, running a fluidly edited two hours and 45 minutes, is not going to be revelatory; it certainly doesn’t...

Emily Blunt has joined actor Ryan Gosling and director David Leitch in the stuntman action drama The Fall Guy for Universal.

The forthcoming movie is inspired by the classic 1980s series of the same name. Fall Guy was created by Glen A. Larson, the prolific TV producer whose output ranged from Battlestar Galactica to Magnum P.I, and starred Lee Majors as a Hollywood stunt man who, to make ends meets, has a side hustle as a bounty hunter.

Douglas Barr co-starred as his sidekick and Heather Thomas as a fellow stunt actor. The show ran on ABC from 1981 to 1986. Leitch is also producing the Universal pic with partner Kelly McCormick via their 87North shingle.
