Wonder Woman 3 May No Longer Be Happening: Report
Add this to the chaos that currently surrounds DC Comics properties: A Gal Gadot-starring Wonder Woman 3 may not be moving forward. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the previously greenlit film looks to be a casualty of the regime change at WarnerMedia-owned DC, which recently hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to guide the next phase of the beloved characters on screen. Wonder Woman 3 was set to be directed by Patty Jenkins, and she and writer Geoff Johns had turned in a treatment for the new film before being told by Gunn and Safran that it wouldn’t fit into future plans for the franchise. (THR notes that canceling the film could save Warner millions of dollars, as both Gadot and Jenkins were to receive pay bumps.) More awkwardly, just a day ago Gadot posted a message to social media ...
Joss Whedon Responds to Misconduct Allegations, Calls Ray Fisher “A Bad Actor in Both Senses”
Joss Whedon’s fall from grace has been a long time coming. Last year, Charisma Carpenter shed light on historic rumblings of a toxic work environment on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, while Ray Fisher detailed racist behavior on the set of Justice League. Gal Gadot even said he threatened her career for raising her own concerns about the DC flick. Whedon had mostly remained silent on the allegations, but in a new, wide-spanning interview with New York magazine’s Vulture, the one-time feminist hero commented on his blind spots — by pretty much denying everything. Fisher, who as Cyborg portrayed DC’s first Black superhero, accused Whedon of racism for cutting out scenes that provided Cyborg a nuanced backstory. In a since-retracted statement to Forbes, he also accus...
Gal Gadot Finally Expresses a Speck of Regret Over “Imagine” Cover: “It Was In Poor Taste”
At last, Gal Gadot has confessed what we’ve always known to be true: That “Imagine” cover was an absolute nightmare. As we approach the second anniversary of the infamous clip — in which Gadot and her A-list pals attempted to sing the John Lennon hit — the actress finally publicly expressed some regret, admitting that it was “in poor taste.” “I was calling Kristen [Wiig] and I was like, ‘Listen, I want to do this thing,’” Gadot told InStyle of her thought process behind the viral clip, which was immediately mocked on social media. “The pandemic was in Europe and Israel before it came here [to the US] in the same way. I was seeing where everything was headed. But [the video] was premature. It wasn’t the right timing, and it wasn’t the right thing. It was in poor taste. All pure intent...
Gal Gadot Admits Viral ‘Imagine’ Cover Was ‘In Poor Taste’
It’s been nearly two years since Gal Gadot received backlash for her star-studded cover of John Lennon‘s “Imagine” when COVID-19 first began to spread. The Wonder Woman star is now reflecting on the poorly received video, and has a different opinion on it. In a new interview for InStyle‘s February issue, Gadot discussed the criticism for the 2020 cover, which featured appearances by Amy Adams, Zoë Kravitz, Natalie Portman, Mark Ruffalo and a number of other celebrities. “The pandemic was in Europe and Israel before it came here [to the U.S.] in the same way,” she said. “I was seeing where everything was headed. But [the video] was premature. It wasn’t the right timing, and it wasn’t the right thing. It was in poor taste.” While the video was meant to provide comfort and a sense of unity as...
Death on the Nile Keeps Armie Hammer on Board Despite Sexual Assault Allegations
Kenneth Branagh’s mystery drama Death on the Nile still has plans to set sail on February 11th. Today, Disney and 20th Century Studios have unveiled the latest trailer for the film, which has kept Armie Hammer on board despite allegations of sexual assault and abuse. In the adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel of the same name, Hammer plays a man named Simon Doyle whose idyllic river steamer honeymoon goes awry when it’s discovered that a murderer is on the ship. Hammer appears to have a fairly prominent role in the film, meaning Disney evidently isn’t doing much to keep him out of public view amid the controversy. As a refresher, Hammer first began raising eyebrows back in January, when an anonymous Instagram account posted explicit messages that appeared to show the actor fantasizing ab...
9 Reasons to Watch Red Notice, a Movie Where Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds Do Art Crime Together
Got to say this for Red Notice — it knows exactly what kind of a movie it is: a mashup of a classic caper tale and Indiana Jones that’s fully aware of how the star power involved will draw people in, and thus makes sure to put said stars (Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot) front and center. Director Rawson Marshall Thurber also makes sure that all 118 minutes of the film move along at a brisk pace, with plenty of action set-pieces, twists, and heist hijinks along the way. Things begin with notorious art thief Nolan Booth (Reynolds) attempting to steal one of the three legendary (and incredibly valuable) eggs of Cleopatra, with special agent John Hartley (Johnson) determined to track him down and stop him, building up to a globe-trotting adventure packed with legitimately laugh-o...
From Audrey Hepburn to Beyoncé: A Short History of the Tiffany Yellow Diamond
The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is one of the most iconic pieces of jewellery in fashion history. The South African diamond was first unearthed in the country’s Kimberley Mines in 1877 as a 287.42 carat rough stone, and later bought by Tiffany & Co. founder Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878 for $18,000 (with an estimated worth of $30 million today). Being one of the largest gemstone discoveries of the 19th century, the Tiffany diamond helped to define the brand as a diamond authority for at least the past 100 years. Throughout such an expansive history in the public eye, the diamond has only been worn by four famous women — Audrey Hepburn, American socialite Mrs. E. Sheldon Whitehouse, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé Knowles. After being bought by Tiffany, the 287.42 carat rough stone was sent to ...
Ray Fisher Details Justice League Drama with Joss Whedon and Warner Bros.
Any fan who has watched Zack Snyder’s Justice League realizes that Ray Fisher was done dirty by the theatrically released version spearheaded by Joss Whedon and Warner Bros. brass. But you need not have seen either movie to know that, as the Cyborg actor has been telling everyone for the last year about Whedon’s “gross, abusive, unprofessional” conduct on set and WB’s allegedly sketchy, racist attempts to cover up Fisher’s complaints. Today, The Hollywood Reporter published an extensive interview with Fisher, who digs into the weeds of his allegations against Whedon and studio executives Geoff Johns, Walter Hamada, and Jon Berg. He detailed how his concerns over representation of DC’s first live-action Black superhero were dismissed by the studio, which pushed for the character “to be...
Zack Snyder’s Justice League Is An Audacious Mess: Review
The Pitch: Well, it’s finally here: the infamous “Snyder Cut.” The rallying cry of DC fanboys for nearly half a decade, Zack Snyder’s original version of the DC cinematic universe’s Avengers equivalent before studio meddling and a tragic death in the family led the oft-maligned director to step away and let Joss Whedon get his grubby, quippy little hands all over his self-serious, baroque baby. The 2017 version was visibly, obnoxiously, the product of two directors with warring approaches wrestling with a single project: Snyderesque aesthetics clashed mightily with repetitive, snarky repartee that didn’t seem to befit the DC verse’s grumpiest heroes. It was a bit more fun, but incredibly uneven, and featured one of cinema’s most horrifying upper lips. But now, amid enormous, organized...
Warner Bros. Fast-Tracking Wonder Woman 3
Despite an unprecedented release plan and mixed reviews, Wonder Woman 1984 has become the biggest hit of the quarantine. Now, Warner Bros. has announced in a statement that it has begun fast-tracking development on Wonder Woman 3, which will “conclude the long-planned theatrical trilogy.” WW1984 bowed simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day. With $16.7 million box office over the holiday weekend, the sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman ranks as the best American opening since the beginning of the pandemic. The film also shattered viewership records for HBO Max, which reported that nearly half of its retail subscribers watched the title just on the first day. Warner Bros. tried a variety of release methods worldwide, and altogether the blockbuster earned $85...
