Kristen Stewart Is Your New Princess Diana | Vogue

Kristen Stewart just landed a new role: Princess Diana.

Deadline reports that the actor will play the leading royal lady in a new film by Pablo Larraín, Spencer. The biopic addresses a specific, and tumultuous, time frame for the House of Windsor: when Diana decided she wanted a divorce from her husband, Prince Charles, and therefore would never be queen consort. The entire plot occurs over a few days and at one location—the royal compound of Sandringham.

“Usually, the prince comes and finds the princess, invites her to become his wife, and eventually she becomes queen,” Larraín told the outlet. “When someone decides not to be the queen, and says, I’d rather go and be myself, it’s a big, big decision, a fairy tale upside down. I’ve always been very surprised by that and thought it must have been very hard to do. That is the heart of the movie.”

Larraín has considered fractured fantasies and damaged dynasties before: Jackie, his critically acclaimed film about first lady Jackie Kennedy in the days after JFK’s assassination, netted Natalie Portman an Oscar nomination in 2017.

The last major film to take on the troubled life of the late princess was 2013’s Diana, starring Naomi Watts. It failed to impress critics. Now, however, two high-profile portrayals are on the horizon: Stewart’s and Emma Corrin’s in The Crown. Neither the film nor the show’s new season has a release date yet. Spencer is expected to begin filming in 2021, and The Crown will likely be released sometime in late 2020 or early next year.

Will either of these prestige projects make a mark during awards season? It’s too early to tell. But one thing is for certain: The dark underbelly of Buckingham Palace continues to capture Hollywood’s imagination.

Disney Releases ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ in 4K to Boost Cinemas – Variety

The Force is with U.K. cinemas this July as they plan to reopen doors with a remastered 4K edition of “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,” Variety can reveal.

It’s understood the planned screenings mark the first time a “Star Wars” film from the original trilogy will be screened to cinema audiences in 4K. European cinema giant Vue will show the film in the U.K.

Thus far, the 4K edition of the 1980 film — the second title in the original trilogy, in which Luke Skywalker studies the Force with Yoda as the Galactic Empire pursues the Rebel Alliance — has only been made available on the studio’s streaming platform Disney Plus and via Blu-ray, where it was released in late March alongside 4K versions of the seven other Skywalker Saga films.

The contribution of the title is a prime example of how U.S. studios are leveraging the might of their immense libraries to help the exhibition sector get back on its feet.

Variety understands “The Empire Strikes Back” is, in fact, among a number of titles Disney is offering U.K. exhibitors, who are eyeing a July 4 reopening date.

The country’s cinemas are among the last businesses to open as part of the government’s economic recovery plan. When they do restart, it will have been more than three months since they were first shuttered across the week of March 16.

Cineworld confirmed Tuesday that it will reopen its U.K. and U.S. cinemas on July 10. The Mooky Greidinger-run firm operates cinema chains Regal in the U.S., Cineworld and Picturehouse in the U.K. and Ireland, Cinema City in Europe and Yes Planet in Israel.

Vue is also believed to be eyeing an early July restart across most of its U.K. cinemas. The business released in May a number of COVID-19 measures that it plans to instate across its venues, including physically isolating family groups through Vue’s online booking systems, staggering film times to maintain social distancing and introducing enhanced cleaning and employee protection protocols.

Disney declined to comment for this story.

Every Single Jurassic Park Film Streaming On Netflix UK From July 1

Every Single Jurassic Park Film Streaming On Netflix UK From July 1Universal Pictures

I’m sure life would have found a way regardless, but it’s been given a little boost from Netflix, as every single Jurassic Park film will be soon available to stream.

Cue the iconic theme tune…

Anyone still thinking dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago needs to take a long hard look at their reflection in the laptop screen and then hit play on these films, because they’ve made a number of epic comebacks since then.

Jurassic ParkUniversal Pictures

The two most recent films, 2015’s Jurassic World and 2018’s Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom, are already available to stream in the UK, but fans of the franchise will soon be able to go back to its inception as the original trilogy will join the streaming service on July 1.

Start by joining Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum in the first Jurassic Park, released in 1993, to find out where the dream of living peacefully alongside dinosaurs first started to go wrong – and to catch a shirtless Goldblum in his now-iconic reclining pose, of course.

Continue the journey with the 1997 film The Lost World, before bringing the original trilogy to a close with Jurassic Park III, released in 2001. Thankfully you can then skip the 14-year wait and get straight to Jurassic World and its sequel, in which Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard try their hand at wrangling dinosaurs.

Spoiler alert: it’s easier said than done.

Chris Pratt Jurassic WorldUniversal Pictures

With the addition of the original trilogy on Netflix comes the rare opportunity to binge-watch a film series, and it will provide everything you need to know ahead of the release of Jurassic World 3, set to arrive next year.

Hold on to your drinks, folks, because the ground will soon be shaking with the giant steps of dinosaurs.

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Dating: He Confirms It With Tweet – Hollywood Life

It’s official: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are an item! The rapper cryptically confirmed the news with his own song lyrics on Twitter.

Megan Fox, 34, and Machine Gun Kelly, 30, are dating. Hours after the two were spotted holding hands and kissing while out and about in Los Angeles, MGK took to Twitter to confirm their relationship status. He used lyrics from his song “Bloody Valentine,” which Megan appeared in the music video for, to share the news. “‘I’m calling you my girlfriend, what the f***,’” MGK wrote. “Life imitated art on that one.”

“i’m calling you girlfriend, what the fuck”

life imitated art on that one. ❤️?

Rumors of a possible relationship between Megan and MGK began back in mid-May, when they were spotted on a coffee date together. Around that time, Megan and her husband, Brian Austin Green, 46, had stopped wearing their wedding rings in public. On May 18, Brian confirmed that he and Megan had separated. The exes, who wed in 2010, have three kids together: Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3.

On May 20, MGK dropped his music video for “Bloody Valentine,” and the chemistry between him and Megan in the footage was electric. They nearly kissed in the video, which added more fuel to the dating rumors. In the days that followed, the rapper continued sharing behind-the-scenes clips from the video set, and fans couldn’t help but notice the flirtation between him and Megan. Now, it appears that these two have made it official!

Meanwhile, Brian seems to be moving on himself. On June 15, he was photographed while out with Courtney Stodden. The two were pictured getting into the same car, and he even held the door open for her. While there was no obvious PDA between the two, the outing definitely sparked speculation that there could be something going on between them!

Megan and Brian have broken up and gotten back together a number of times over the years. They started dating in 2004, and were engaged in 2006. However, by 2009, they had called off their engagement. It didn’t take long for them to reconcile, though, as they were married in June 2010. Their next split came in 2015, and Megan even filed for divorce. Once again, they reconciled by 2016, and welcomed their third son, Journey, later that year. In April 2019, Megan dismissed her divorce filing. Neither star has re-filed amidst their latest split.

John Wick Stuntman Says All The Good Things You Hear About Keanu Reeves Are 110% True – UNILAD

John Wick Stuntman Says All The Good Things You Hear About Keanu Reeves Are 110% True

John Wick Stuntman Says All The Good Things You Hear About Keanu Reeves Are 110% TrueLionsgate/PA

I don’t know what the world was like before Keanu Reeves came along, but I know that it’s better now that he’s in it because his stunt double has confirmed the stories about how great he is are ‘110% true’.

Over the years we’ve seen Keanu Reeves play a number of iconic characters, such as Neo in The Matrix, Ted in Bill & Ted and of course John Wick in John Wick, but I don’t think any of those personalities even comes close to being as awesome as the man portraying them.

Known for his epic action scenes, love of dogs and all-around charm, Keanu Reeves is often considered one of the best things to come out of Hollywood, and his John Wick stunt double, Jeremy Fry, has made it clear why.

Keanu Reeves Has Been Casually Crashing Weddings For AgesPA

During an interview with Metro, Fry, who has also worked on Black Panther, Batman v Superman and Baby Driver, described Reeves as a ‘giver’ who is ‘selfless’ and ‘works tirelessly’.

Every good thing you’ve heard about him is 110% true.

Fry and Reeves bonded over a love of motorcycles, and the stunt double recalled an occasion on which the actor invited him to the popular Laguna Seca racetrack in California.

He said:

He goes, ‘Hey, how would you like to go to Laguna Seca?’ and when Keanu Reeves asks you if you wanna go pretty much anywhere, you say yes.

Turns out he had rented Laguna Seca… for two days, private rental, there were about eighty of his friends and people he knew. There were celebrities there, people from different industries there, a huge cross-section of people. He put us up in local hotels, he catered breakfast, lunch, dinners.

It seems Keanu Reeves can do no wrong, and I refuse to believe he ever really could. Tom Hanks may have to make room on his ‘nicest guy in Hollywood’ pedestal.

Brad Pitt Matches Jennifer Aniston’s $1 Million to Racial Justice Organization

It has just emerged that Brad Pitt has matched Jennifer Aniston’s $1 million donation to a racial justice organization.

Keep scrolling to find out more…

Brad Pitt has followed in the footsteps of his famous ex-wife…

And it is an incredibly generous footstep, to say the least!

But firstly, let’s start from the beginning…

The 2 blonde bombshells were matched in true Hollywood style by their agents back in 1998.

Jen was still filming Friends and had just completed shooting classic Rom-Com, The Object of My Affection, with Paul Rudd.

Brad, on the other hand, was wrapping up filming Meet Joe Black and was about to start shooting for Fight Club. The 2 kept their relationship a secret at first – you know, probably wanting to avoid any public speculation (if only they had known!).

Stepping out together for the first time at the 1999 Emmy Awards, Jen and Brad shared their romance with the world.

Only 3 months later, during a Sting concert (of all places), the loved-up kids announced their engagement. Stepping on stage and waving the engagement ring to crowds of applause, it really did seem to be a Hollywood-fairytale.

Can you think of a more iconic 90s couple?

Sadly, there does not seem to be any video footage of the Sting concert, I guess this was a time before concerts revolved around the crowd filming e v e r y t h i n g.

The couple wed in sunny Malibu in July of 2000.

The ceremony itself cost a hefty one million dollars, with $76,000 spent on security. Guests were asked to sign confidentiality agreements and airspace surrounding the ceremony was restricted.

Brad and Jen sure were sticklers for privacy!

The Aniston-Pitt privacy stance is perhaps the reason that there remains so much mystery around what the marriage was really like.

In an interview given by Aniston in September 2001 with Rolling Stone Magazine, the star talked about being 1 year into her marriage with Brad and all appeared pretty darn rosy.

In the Rolling Stone interview, Aniston divulged how the couple had purchased a $15 million property, liked to bond over music and may or may not be potheads.

Aniston’s love for Brad is apparent throughout the interview, she can’t seem to help but bring him up at any given opportunity.

But a couple of years later, the cracks began to appear in the fairytale romance of Brad and Jen.

Talking to W Magazine, Aniston was asked if Brad was the love of her life.

She responded with an awkward rambling answer that ends with, “He’s certainly a big love in my life..”

All good things must come to an end eh?

We’ve got to that point in the love story of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt that we never want to get to… it’s all downhill from here, guys (or is it?).

Well, let’s just cover what must be covered… Let’s talk about Mr and Mrs Smith.

It’s May 2004, and “happily” married Brad Pitt starts filming the assassin/spy flick alongside the single (and admittedly.. very beautiful) Angelina Jolie (it’s those darn cheekbones).

Anyway blah, blah, blah, the 2 co-stars spent an awful lot of time together and got on very well.

The press had a field day during the shooting of Mr & Mrs Smith and rumors about how close Angie and Brad were getting circulated across the world…

And by January 2005, Aniston and Pitt had announced their separation.

In their joint statement, the couple contested the tabloid rumors and insisted that they would remain friends.

It didn’t take long for Brad and Angelina to go official…

And over the years, they went on to have 6 children together – 3 of whom were conceived and 3 of whom were adopted.

But relations between the 2 exes did not stay so civil…

Aniston publicly slammed Pitt and Jolie for their insensitivity following the break-up.

We mean, fair play to Jen! She has every right to be upset after Jolie publicly discussed the building of feelings between herself and Pitt whilst filming Mr & Mrs Smith (which we all know was still during Jen and Brad’s marriage..).

In response to Jolie’s public comments about the blossoming of her and Pitt’s relationship, Aniston spoke to Vogue in 2008.

Huffpost notes that Jen told Vogue, “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.”

But clearly, things weren’t meant to be.

Brad and Angelina split in 2016.

The divorce seemed rather messy, with allegations of substance abuse problems and issues between Brad and the kids coming to the fore.

And though there’s a certain amount of bad blood between Brangelina …

Brad and Jen seem to have reconnected during these difficult times.

Or, as some suspect, something more …

Because a few months ago at the SAG Awards …

The backstage pictures snapped of Brad and Jen got the whole internet talking.

The pair were locked in an adorable private joke …

And then as Jen started to walk away, Brad pulled her back in for more lols.

And that’s not all.

The Hollywood Reporter also shared this picture of Brad watching Jen’s acceptance speech for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series.

He’s so proud!

It seems that the former flames have reconnected…

And although Jen has been adamant that they’re just friends, fans have been speculating that more has been going on.

They’re clearly in a lot of contact, however…

Because Brad has just made a very generous move to match his ex-wife.

Jen recently donated $1 million to the racial justice organization Color of Change in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

Color of Change is an organization that works to get equal justice for black people in America.

The website says: “Color of Change leads campaigns that build real power for Black communities. We challenge injustice, hold corporate and political leaders accountable, commission game-changing research on systems of inequality, and advance solutions for racial justice that can transform our world.”

She is aware of the “terrible injustice” that’s going on right now…

It was reported that Jen made her donation “to the charity she felt resonated with her the most” after being “deeply affected” by the death of Floyd late last month.

“She wanted to show her support and has donated a big sum to the charity she felt resonated with her the most. The link is on her Instagram page so her fans can also donate.”

Brad clearly agreed with Jen’s motive…

Because he decided to match her donation by donating a further $1 million himself to the organization.

It seemed that his ex-wife inspired him…

The Mirror reported on Saturday:

“Brad is really involved with the charity because of Jen and said he would match her donation.”

This is truly astounding…

And a huge sum of money can help make such a difference to this amazing cause.

Thank you, Brad and Jen.

Let’s hope that the awareness they have both raised will educate others and will hopefully allow us to strive towards a better future.
