Ever wanted a behind-the-scenes take on how desperate Warner Bros. was for the DCEU to be like the MCU? Variety reports that screenwriter David S. Goyer went into detail about the rapid creation of WB’s ill-fated cinematic universe while on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.

Chanita Stephenson took a huge leap of faith and said “I do” to a complete stranger on last year’s series of Married At First Sight UK. The 30-year-old was coupled with Jordan Emmett-Connelly, and the pair looked like they’d be one of the show’s success stories when they first got together – even heading off to begin their new life together at the end of the series. But a drama-filled reunion episode two months later showed that the spark had died out for them.

Taylor Momsen has said she was “relentlessly” bullied after starring in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.The singer and former actor, who had her breakout role aged seven as Cindy Lou in the 2000 live-action film opposite Jim Carrey, explained on the Podcrushed podcast how she was labelled “Grinch Girl” by her classmates at school.“The Grinch changed my life in a multitude of ways – one of them being I was made fun of relentlessly,” Momsen said. “Every time I would start a new school or go somewhere else, I don’t even think the kids knew my name.

Jeff Nichols was just at the Telluride Film Festival last weekend for the world premiere of his upcoming film, “The Bikeriders.” And while he was there, the director hopped on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast to talk about his new movie, failed pitches for projects like “Aquaman,” and other topics. That includes “Alien Nation,” a long-gestating project of Nichols’ that never panned out (and is the reason for seven years between “The Bikeriders” and 2016’s “Loving” and “Midnight Special“) but came closer to being made than anyone realizes.

Tom Hardy has left some viewers baffled by his accent in the trailer for upcoming film, The Bikeriders.The actor, who has showcased a number of accents across The Dark Knight Rises, Peaky Blinders and Locke, stars opposite Jodie Comer and Austin Butler in the drama which follows the rise of a fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club.After the trailer was released on Wednesday (September 6), a key takeaway has been the “absurd” and “inexplicable” accent Hardy adopts for his character.“Ahhhhhhh the incredibly soothing sensation of Tom Hardy doing another new voice and accent that has never existed before,” one viewer wrote on X.Another added: “Wake up babe new Tom Hardy accent just dropped.”You can check out more reactions below.Ahhhhhhhh the incredibly soothing sensation of Tom Hardy doing another new voice and accent that has never existed before.— Aaron Stewart-Ahn (@somebadideas) September 6, 2023This movie has everything.

You’ll recall that after the success of “A Quiet Place,” director John Krasinski, who had already expanded the original screenplay, had many ideas on his mind, sequels, and spin-offs that took place in different parts of the world, essentially plotting to franchise his alien-invasion family-driven thriller (it fascinating to look back on our interview with Krasinski from 2018). Obviously, “A Quiet Place II” came out in 2020, and “Pig” filmmaker Michael Sarnoski is working on “A Quiet Place: Day One,” a post-apocalyptic horror spin-off due March 8, 2024, starring actors like Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, and Denis O’Hare.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director One of the big reveals to come out of the infamous 2014 Sony email hack was that Warner Bros. had been in talks with indie director Jeff Nichols to helm its “Aquaman” movie starring Jason Momoa. Nichols was coming off acclaimed back-to-back dramas “Take Shelter” and “Mud” at the time.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeff Nichols spent two decades considering how to approach what would become his new film The Bikeriders because he did not want to glamorize motorcycle culture.

“From the beginning?” Kathy asks the interviewer. “Yes, please,” he responds. Flash back to 1965 Chicago and the rise of the Vandals. “The was the golden age of bike riders,” she says.
