“Jurassic World Dominion.”When asked by Metro UK what being in “Dominion” meant for female representation in action films, Howard revealed that she had been asked to lose weight for the franchise.“What being in this third film allowed, how do I say this, how do I say this, how do I say this…[I’ve] been asked to not use my natural body in cinema… On the third movie, it was actually because there were so many women cast, it was something that Colin [Trevorrow] felt very strongly about in terms of protecting me…because the conversation came up again, ‘we need to ask Bryce to lose weight.’”Howard continued, adding that director and co-writer Colin Trevorrow pointed to the larger female ensemble in “Dominion” (which also included DeWanda Wise, Laura Dern and Dichen Lachman) as reason to make room for different female body types when advocating for Howard.“He was like, ‘There are lots of different kinds of women on this planet and there are lots of different kinds of women in our film’ and I got to do so many stunts that wouldn’t have been possible if I had been dieting.”Howard has not been shy about speaking up about her experience as a woman in a blockbuster franchise, previously revealing that the pay gap between her and co-star Chris Pratt was substantial and locked in for the trilogy of films.“When I started negotiating for ‘Jurassic,’ it was 2014, and it was a different world, and I was at a great disadvantage,” Howard said in August.

02.09.2022 - 19:41 / variety.com
Roy Trakin British synthpop pioneer Howard Jones has signed with Jonathan Wolfson, joining a roster that includes Daryl Hall & John Oates, Loverboy and Fee Waybill’s The Tubes. “Being a proud Gen X-er, I was always a big fan,” said Wolfson. “Not only was Howard Jones a ubiquitous force on MTV, but his eternally optimistic songs have also passed the test of time. His current live show is a celebration of his legacy, as well as the present, and things to come.” Jones, who was managed from the beginning of his career in the early ‘80s by U.K.-based David Stopps, parted ways “amicably” seven years ago to handle his career with wife Jan, but was introduced to Wolfson by his agent, Paradise Artists’ Rick Shoor, who invited the manager to see the artist’s June show at Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles.
“I thought maybe I’d get to open for a Hall & Oates tour, but we really connected,” says Jones, who released a new electronic music album, “DIALOGUE,” and post-pandemic single, “Celebrate It Together,” on Friday (Sept. 2). “I wasn’t looking for a new manager, but I felt at this point in my career, the story wasn’t finished yet. Jonathan understood it’s taken me 40 years, hundreds of gigs, trial and error, to deliver the kind of show he saw. I loved that he grew up with my music and had that emotional connection. I believe we can do some amazing things working together.” Jones has sold more than eight million albums around the world, scoring a pair of Top 10 U.S. singles in “Things Can Only Get Better” and “No One Is to Blame,” along with a Top 10 platinum album, “Dream into Action,” while signed to Elektra. His career received a boost thanks to the Kate Bush effect of having “Things Can Only Get Better” featured in the third
