“This [THR] piece barely scratches the surface of Scott Rudin’s abusive, racist, and sexist behavior,” Ellison wrote on Twitter (see the post embedded below). “Similarly to Harvey [Weinstein], too many are afraid to speak out. I support and applaud those who did. There’s good reason to be afraid because he’s vindictive and has no qualms about lying.” Ellison is no stranger to working with Weinstein either, as she served as a producer on Weinstein Company-released titles “Lawless,” “The Master,” and “Killing Them Softly....

Fox famously recalled her small part in Michael Bay’s “Bad Boys II” where she danced in a bikini, cowboy hat, and high heels under a waterfall at age 15 during a now-infamous interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” She later went on to work with Bay for the “Transformers” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” films, and while since reconciling with the director, she voiced the suffocation she felt being typecast in Hollywood....

The “Moon Knight” star revealed to Radio Times that he was hesitant to jump into the Marvel Cinematic Universe after appearing in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy series. “For me, it was all reservations,” Isaac said. “I had just kind of got out of the whole, you know, big machinery of ‘Star Wars.’ And I was like, ‘I just really want to do character studies. And I don’t know.’” Isaac added, “It was months of smashing my head against a stone wall like, ‘Is this the right thing to do?...

Bonus Reason: Julia Garner, a two-time Emmy winner for “Ozark,” shifts into the lead position for “Inventing Anna,” playing the fake German heiress whose real name is Anna Sorokin. Given her convincing (and popular) portrayal of a Missouri bumpkin in that other Netflix show, portraying a high-society woman of means on this one should make for an exciting challenge — and one fans will be eager to see peeled back over nine episodes....

Called “Manage Access and Devices,” the new feature allows members to view all devices currently logged into their accounts, as well as the general city the device is located in, and log out specific devices. The feature can be found on users’ account settings page and is available on web browsers and iOS and Android windows worldwide. In a blog post, Netflix attributes the timing of the feature’s rollout to the beginning of the holiday season....

“If and when [Nolan] comes up with his new movie, it’s about can we be a home for it and what would we need to do to make that happen,” Netflix’s head of original films Scott Stuber recently told Variety. “He’s an incredible filmmaker. I’m going to do everything I can. In this business I’ve learned you need to have zero ego. I get punched and knocked down and get back up....

Netflix’s “Lupin” set was the target of a robbery February 25, during which an estimated €300,000 ($333,000) worth of equipment was stolen. Production in the Paris outskirt of Nanterre was halted until February 28. “Lupin” star Omar Sy was allegedly on set when “approximately 20 people who had their faces covered broke onto the set after throwing mortar fireworks,” according to the news outlet AFP (via Variety). Only hours after the attack, Sy attended the César Awards to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his film “Intouchables....

HBO Max (includes HBO) HBO and HBO Max added a combined 3 million subscribers last quarter totaling 76.8 million (48.6 million of whom came from the U.S.). Pretty good growth in the final quarter under AT&T’s oversight, but it came at a cost. The phone company’s operating expenses topped $14 billion last quarter for a variety of reasons, including “higher HBO Max bundling costs,” according to AT&T’s financial disclosures. Fortunately, WarnerMedia subscription revenues also rose, though only 4....

In a new video hosted by Vanity Fair, cast members Keke Palmer, Brandon Perea, Steven Yeun, and Daniel Kaluuya break down some of the craziest fan theories from Reddit. As Steven Yeun previously revealed on “Jimmy Kimmel,” the actors are contractually allowed to say exactly nothing about specific plot points. But that doesn’t mean they can’t debunk some of the nuttier speculations about “Nope.” Check out the video below. One theory revolves around “Casadastraphobia,” the fear of being sucked into the sky, which based on the trailer, isn’t totally off-base: Palmer’s character is seen repeatedly getting vacuumed up into the heavens by possibly an alien spaceship, and then getting dropped back down again....

The “Star Wars” prequel alums reprise their respective roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader for the upcoming Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” premiering May 27, and both actors set out to educate themselves on the modern “Star Wars” canon. “I watched [all of the ‘Star Wars’ films] from start to finish,” McGregor told Entertainment Weekly. “All nine movies. Just to get back in that world.” (EW noted “Solo” and “Rogue One” were excluded from McGregor’s watchlist....

“Someone, who’s a very established actor and director in this industry, gave me really terrible advice that was helpful, because I just knew I had to do the opposite,” Wilde said. “They said, ‘Listen, the way to get respect on a set, you have to have three arguments a day. Three big arguments that reinstate your power, remind everyone who’s in charge, be the predator.’ That is the opposite of my process....

Oscar Isaac is one of the rare actors who can step between blockbuster filmmaking and serious acting with ease, so expectations are high for his take on the obscure Marvel character. In a new interview with NME, Isaac details his process for embodying the complex character. The actor revealed that he has found inspiration in some very unexpected places — primarily, British comedy. “I thought, ‘What’s an energy that I haven’t seen in the MCU before?...

“I’ve been in green screen space land for quite a few years and I was desperate to do a character study,” Isaac told press at Venice. “Star Wars” isn’t Isaac’s only trip to space, as Villeneuve’s “Dune” is another galaxy-spanning epic with Isaac playing a crucial role. The actor is currently in production on the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series “Moon Knight,” so Isaac’s relationship to CGI and green screens isn’t ending anytime soon....

Two years after the historic Best Picture win for “Parasite,” the Academy continues to show significant support for international cinema in major categories. “Drive My Car,” Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s three-hour adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s short story, landed a startling four nominations — for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best International Feature — making it the first Asian film in history to score all four of those categories (though Akira Kurosawa’s “Ran” also scored four nominations in 1985, for Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design)....

Let it never be said that “Outer Banks” isn’t full of surprises. Those out-of-nowhere touches don’t always land as intended, but over the course of a pair of seasons, this Netflix series built around adventure-seeking teens has rarely gone for the uninteresting choice. It’s a show that’s often as baffling as it is entertaining, largely because one of those tends to accompany the other. With seemingly no room for it to one-up itself after its freshman season culminated in a centuries-brewing hunt for a giant trove of shipwreck gold, “Outer Banks” Season 2 quickly turns its attention overseas....

Early this morning, the company revealed its third-quarter financials. While the addition of 4.6 million Paramount+ subscribers (to 46 million) was enough of a success to dominate most headlines, the company missed on Wall Street’s revenue and earnings marks. Analysts expected $7.01 billion in Q3 revenue from the former ViacomCBS, which reported $6.916 billion, a miss of about $90 million. Paramount Global’s adjusted earnings per share missed the consensus forecast (as compiled by Yahoo Finance) of 43 cents by four cents, reporting 39 cents....

“That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I’d been told, ‘We can’t see anything — I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on,’” Stone writes. “Now, here is the issue. It didn’t matter anymore. It was me and my parts up there. I had decisions to make.” Here’s what Verhoeven had to say about Stone’s claim to Variety: “My memory is radically different from Sharon’s memory....

Pascal stars as a billionaire who offers $1 million to a fictionalized version of Cage to attend his birthday party in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” in theaters April 22. And while Pascal’s “Unbearable” character has villainous intentions, the “Narcos” alum noted that he previously tapped into an inspired “Cage rage” to play DC evil mastermind Max Lord in “Wonder Woman 1984.” “I remember shooting a scene in ‘1984’ and, in the instant, I was like, what kind of energy do I need here?...

Deadline reported on Sunday that the cartoon skunk, who was introduced in 1945, will not appear in Warner Bros. TV’s upcoming “Space Jam: A New Legacy” film. Pepe Le Pew isn’t just getting benched for that upcoming feature; The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday that the character wouldn’t show up in any of the company’s other upcoming projects. IndieWire has reached out to Warner Bros. TV for comment. The Pepe reports surfaced several days after New York Times columnist Charles M....
