Matthew McConaughey is looking back at his career and revealing that after starring in a string of romantic comedies, he almost quit Hollywood.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Matthew McConaughey recently told Glen Powell as part of an Interview magazine discussion that “it was scary” quitting Hollywood for two years when all that was being offered to him early in his career was romantic-comedy films.

Ben Croll Paris’ historic La Clef cinema can turn the page on a five-year fight for survival thanks in no small part to donations from filmmakers Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, and Celine Sciamma, among several more. The no-strings-attached donations will allow the community-run rep house to purchase the location’s physical property through parent organization Cinema Revival, first precluding any further threats of eviction and then funding substantial construction and administrative improvements.

William Earl administrator This year’s Tribeca Film Festival has launched its De Niro Con celebration of its iconic co-founder, and one of the first big events included a rousing discussion with verbal odd couple Quentin Tarantino and Robert De Niro.

Whoopi Goldberg, 68, said in an Instagram Story she shared early in the morning in Rome. “It is the butt crack of dawn, okay, but this is the time we’ve been told to come over. And I mean, who minds walking down these streets? Nobody.

Ethan Shanfeld John Early and Olga Merediz have joined the cast of A24’s “Eternity.” The romantic comedy, in which people must decide who they want to spend eternity with, also stars Miles Teller (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Elizabeth Olsen (“WandaVision”), Callum Turner (“Masters of the Air”) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers”).

The two halves of this character combine in a captivating performance for which Goggins was happy to endure a torturous prosthetic.

When asked what the biggest challenge was while making their upcoming comedy “Mars,” co-writers and voice actors Sam Brown and Zach Cregger can’t help but riff an answer to a question that inelegantly ignores the elephant in the room. “Well, Trevor died,” Brown says.
