  • Paramount Exec Reveals Reason Why Mean Girls Not Marketed As Musical

    Paramount Exec Reveals Reason Why Mean Girls Not Marketed As Musical

    After many disappointed viewers have called out the Mean Girls remake movie for false advertisement, the President of Paramount’s global marketing has publicly admitted the studio’s role in choosing not to explicitly market the new film as a musical because they didn’t want to ‘turn off audiences’.

    According to Variety, Paramount’s Marc Weinstock disclosed that the decision to avoid marketing it as a musical was intentional.

    “We didn’t want to run out and say it’s a musical because people tend to treat musicals differently,” he told Variety. “To start off saying musical, musical, musical, you have the potential to turn off audiences,” he said. “I want everybody to be equally excited.”

    Weinstock continued, “This is a movie within the ‘Mean Girls’ world,” Weinstock says. “We didn’t want to distill it down to one thing because it’s not one thing.”

    The concerns were raised after the film’s January 12th debut, which had many of the audience appalled as they took to social media to express their discontent in finding out the new film wasn’t a direct remake of the 2004 comedy classic but instead an adaptation of Tina Fey’s Broadway musical.

  • Hathaway Solidarity Walk With Union workers

    Hathaway Solidarity Walk With Union workers

    Actor Anne Hathaway reportedly walked out of a Vanity Fair photoshoot in solidarity with the Condé Nast union workers’ walkout, with reports of imminent layoffs for many of their colleagues. Condé Nast owns many of the most recognizable publishing brands in the United States.

    As has been widely reported, the actress was made aware of the walkout by union officials only after arriving at the scene of the shoot. She immediately vacated the scene to show her solidarity with the picketing workers.

    The Condé Nast Union staged its day-long walkout to coincide with the Oscars nomination. Union officials are accusing Condé Nast of regressive bargaining and breaking the law in bargaining by rescinding an offer they had previously made regarding layoffs.

    The actress walked out in solidarity when her union, SAG-AFTRA, joined the one-day walkout. Union officials are applauding her for her stance in drawing attention to their plight.

    America Ferrera Expresses Disappointment Concerning Greta Gerwig & Margot Robbie’s Lack Of ‘Barbie’ Oscar Nominations

    According to Variety, after the Tuesday morning Oscar nominations were announced, the ‘Barbie’ star America Ferrera was overwhelmed with emotions surrounding the announcement of her nomination for the Oscar awards.

    “There was a moment where I wasn’t sure if I had made it up,” Ferrera told Variety. “And then my phone started blowing up so I figured that I must have heard it right.”

    Her nomination which came as a shock was credited for her role as Gloria, the human lens through which “Barbie” is viewed in the $1.4 billion blockbuster comedy.

    “I still haven’t been able to get in my feelings because I’m still on like the top layer of ‘I can’t even believe that this is real,’” Ferrera explains.

    In addition to Ferrera’s nomination, “Barbie” also bagged multiple nominations for best picture, supporting actor (Ryan Gosling), adapted screenplay (Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach), costume design, production design, and original songs. However, two notable nominations were missing from that group: Greta Gerwig (best director) and Margot Robbie (best actress).

    “I was incredibly disappointed that they weren’t nominated,” Ferrera says. “Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it.”

    The 2010 post-apocalypse film, The Book of Eli, is making a return to screens but this time as a TV series with the original writers and directors still running the show.

    According to Deadline, the series is still being shopped around to “select premium buyers” (ooh la la), but the original writer, Gary Whitta, is on board as writer, creator, and executive producer, with original directors Albert and Allen Hughes (a.k.a. the Hughes Brothers) also as executive producers. John Boyega is also on board as an Executive producer.

    The new project is set 30 years before the events of the 2010 Denzel Washington movie, with Star Wars Boyega playing the younger version of Washington’s Character Eli, a nomad who fights his way across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America while protecting a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity’s salvation.

    The period of the prequel series signifies that it will likely be set around the nuclear event that caused Earth’s ecocide or its aftermath. The movie is expected to kick off in early 2024.

  • “None Of My Movies Are Going To The Awards” Declares Jason Momoa

    “None Of My Movies Are Going To The Awards” Declares Jason Momoa

    After his roles in Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, with the movie slightly exceeding expectations at the box office, Jason Momoa remains uncertain about the impact of his films in the industry. During his interview with Variety regarding his latest project ‘On The Roam,’ where he travels the country seeking art, adventure, and friendship, the actor talked about the many prospects he wishes to accomplish in his career.

    According to Variety, while doing ‘On the Roam,’ Momoa noticed that he still feels he has so much to do in his career and thinks he hasn’t become an expert at anything.

    “I don’t really think I’ve done anything so far,” he says, adding that “On the Roam” simply highlights “what I’d be doing on my off days.” Momoa continues, “I’m not going to be able to master all of these things. I’m a solid C+ to B- at everything. But I like doing a lot of different things, and I’m not an A at one thing. I really went after comedy. ‘SNL’ let me on twice. I tried ‘Slumberland,’ and it did OK,” Momoa says. “I have ‘Minecraft.’ I’m going to do another comedy-esque action thing with Dave Bautista after that. If people love this, I’d love to do a Season 2.”

    After his breakout into the limelight more than 10 years ago playing Khal Drogo in the HBO blockbuster series ‘Game Of Thrones,’ the Dothraki king has played a part in franchises such as the Justice League and Fast and Furious. Despite his roles in these films, the actor, however, is not so sure if those projects are likely to receive any awards attention.

    “There are some movies out there that I gotta go back to, and I’m sure if you did your homework, you’ll know which movies I’m referring to,” Momoa says. “I’ve just never been a part of movies that — none of my movies are going to the awards. I’m not really that guy. So maybe one day it’d be nice to do one of those kinds of movies, where it’s a really, really good movie.”

  • Disrespect In Hollywood: Lindsay Lohan Hurt By Rude Comments

    Disrespect In Hollywood: Lindsay Lohan Hurt By Rude Comments

    Lindsay Lohan‘s publicist, Lesley Sloane, issued a statement to People and other media outlets, revealing that the actor is hurt and disappointed by the new Mean Girls film. The film references a rude comment made to her nearly two decades ago. The original Mean Girls star expressed her concern about the “joke” made about her in the new Mean Girls musical.

    The musical film topped the domestic box office, with Meghan de Stallion making a cameo as herself at a talent show. During the show, she commented on Cady Haron’s (played by Angourie Rice) Christmas-themed outfit, originally portrayed by Lindsey, saying,

    “We are going back red. Y2K fire crotch is back,” referring to Brandon Davis‘ 2006 paparazzi video where he made derogatory remarks about Lindsay, calling her a “Fire crotch.”

    However, it was later reported that Lindsay was unaware of the joke, despite making a surprise cameo appearance in one scene. She was surprised when she attended a screening of the film, alongside Tina Fey, the writer and co-star of the 2004 Mean Girls movie, in which Lohan also appeared.
