David O’Russell’s Star-Studded “Amsterdam” Tanked At The Box Office
Billy Eichner may have seen this news and relaxed after calling out the Straights™ for not buying tickets to his gay romantic comedy Bros, which bombed at the box office. Because well, David O’Russell‘s Amsterdam bombed hard too. The star-studded film had a production budget of $80 million but only made $6.5 million at this past weekend’s box office. It did worse in theatres than Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.
Christian Bale Claims He Acted As A Mediator Between Amy Adams And David O. Russell On The “American Hustle” Set
Christian Bale covers this month’s GQ to promote his latest flick, Amsterdam, directed by David O. Russell (31% on Rotty-Ts). This is the third time 48-year-old Christian’s been directed by 64-year-old David; he previously starred in The Fighter and American Hustle. The GQ interviewer brings up the claims that David’s behavior on the American Hustle set caused Amy Adams a lot of turmoil and tears. Christian confirms there was on-set drama, and that he acted as the “mediator” between actress and director. It was such a mess that Christian “STAY OFF THE FUCKING SET, MAN!!!” Bale had to play peacekeeper.
Kim Kardashian Compared Herself To Christian Bale While Defending Her Met Gala Weight Loss
The second coming of Marilyn Monroe (or so she wants us to believe) Kim Kardashian got a lot of flack for wearing one of Norma Rae’s iconic dresses to the Met Gala. Some said it was huge mistake, historians said she stressed the integrity of the fabric, and others were concerned that she lost an unhealthy amount of weight to fit into the thing. Kim defended her decision to drop them pounds by comparing herself to Christian Bale who famously yo-yos in weight as a sacrifice to his art. That’s right, squeezing your HoneyBaked ham into a size 0 pair of jeans is now an act worthy of the Louvre!
A Darren Aronofsky-Directed “Batman” Movie Almost Happened––With Joaquin Phoenix As Batman
More news from the movie franchise that just refuses to die. For anybody interested, the never-ending subject of “who should be the next Batman” now features another missed contender to add to its complicated history––only this one is the most random AND the least likely to ever come to light.
Christian Bale Will Play A Villain In The Next “Thor” Movie
Another day, another Marvel superhero movie to report about. But unlike the others, this future cinematic staple has actually done a marvelous bit of casting. Turns out, Oscar-winning thespian Christian Bale had originally shown interest in joining the Marvel universe in order to land the role he was born to play: a supervillain. And one of his soon-to-be co-stars, Tessa Thompson, has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that his messy ass is now attached.
After the raging success of Thor: Ragnarok, where Chris Hemsworth stands around looking all hunky and scruffy and shit, the plan was set to develop another totally necessary sequel. Enter Christian.
Christian Bale Is Done With The Crazy Weight Gain/Loss For Movies
Christian Bale is no newbie to the method acting thing where people change their whole actual looks so that they can better fill a role (and get that Oscar). He’s partly shaved his head for American Hustle, and gained and lost weight a number of times. He dropped to 120 pounds for The Machinist, and also got skinny for The Fighter. He got buff for Christopher Nolan‘s Batman Begins. He also got chunky for Vice, where he portrayed former Vice President Dick Cheney. And for his new movie, Ford v Ferrari, he needed to once again quickly lose 70 pounds. I don’t know how this man does it (FlatTummy Tea?), and honestly neither does he. During promo for Ford v Ferrari, he let us know that he ain’t doing this shit anymore.
