Francis Ford Coppola’s Personally Funded Passion Project “Megalopolis” Is Reportedly Hemorrhaging Money And Talent
Three years ago, nepo daddy Francis Ford Coppola was bemoaning the state of CINEMA, placing the blame for its nosedive from high art to repetitive drivel squarely on the shoulders of those “despicable” “Marvel pictures.” At the time, Francis was already decades into production on the “most ambitious film” of his career, Megalopolis, which he is so passionate about, he’s reportedly sunk “tens of millions” of his own money into bringing it to the screen. And he ain’t talking about your dang phone! Francis means the huge silver one with dazzling images and the sound that you can feel and the whatnot. Megalopolis may be one man’s vision, but it takes a lot of money and manpower to make that vision a reality, and Francis is reportedly hemorrhaging both.
Laurence Fishburne Wasn’t Asked To Return As Morpheus For “The Matrix 4”
Much to the delight of Matrix fans and Keanu Reeves enthusiasts alike, there have been many pictures released from the set of The Matrix 4, the fourth film in the Matrix series, currently filming in Berlin (after taking a brief hiatus for the COVID-19 pandemic). So it could be assumed we’re about to see more pictures of Keanu as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity, both working an aggressive amount of leather clothing. But one person we won’t see squeezed into black leather is Laurence Fishburne. Laurence has nothing to do with The Matrix 4, and he says it’s because he wasn’t invited to the party.
The Cast of “Contagion” Came Out With A Coronavirus PSA
What better way to capitalize on a global crisis than to bring back the stars of a re-discovered cinematic masterpiece and have them teach you how to wash your hands (if, by the way, your hands aren’t already raw from hourly scrubbing, Kate Winslet probably isn’t going to change your mind).
Glamour Was Alive And Well At The NAACP Image Awards
I think Auntie Maxine likes it! This was one red carpet that wasn’t a hot mess. Tracee Ellis Ross usually has “Best Dressed” on lock at just about any awards show she attends. However, come time for the NAACP Image Awards, she’s got some stiff competition. The attendees of this year’s awards did not come to play and Tracee’s outfit faded into the background. That’s because the red carpet was on fire!
Gina Torres Was Papped Kissing A Man Who Wasn’t Her Husband Laurence Fishburne (UPDATE)
Even though they haven’t been seen in public together since 2015, Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres are still officially married so when she was seen macking on some non-Morpheus looking dude in public, pearls got clutched.
They’re Only Making Super-Hero Movies Now, Part 2: Marvel At Comic-Con
A fresh glimpse of a shirtless Chris Hemsworth is probably the best part of this story. Marvel took a huge infodump (how nicely put) at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. They debuted the new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok (aka Chris Hemsworth Has A Better Haircut And Remains A Thirst Trap), showed the first image of Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, and announced who would be playing the part of the FIRST Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp. It’s kind of a big name. I hope she sings “Cool Rider” in the movie to distract me, because I can only take so much of Paul Rudd’s “I’ll always be funnier than you” smirk. (And if you figured out who the actress in question is because of that song title, we are friends til’ the end.) Continue reading
