The singer, 66, who is no stranger to canceling concerts called off his Valencia, Spain gig on Thursday citing the least rock & roll excuse of all time: a lack of sleep, and all because other people were having fun. Posts on Morrissey Central's “Messages From Morrissey” page painted a vulgar picture of how the world won't listen to his pleas for peace and quiet: “Having travelled for two days by road, Morrissey reached the hotel in Valencia late on Wednesday,” the first post said. “Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements. This experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state. Before leaving for tonight's scheduled concert, please check that the show remains possible under these circumstances.” Then finally, words attributed as coming directly from Morrissey's own mouth appeared: “Morrissey has described his hotel on Plaza Manises as … ‘indescribable hell. The Associated Press reports that the noise Morrissey apparently had trouble sleeping through may be from celebrations taking place in anticipation of Valencia's Las Fallas festival, which kicked off on March 1. It will end on March 19 with the burning of papier-mache sculptures.

Nathan Lane, who famously played an obsessive Maria Callas fan in Terrence McNally's play The Lisbon Traviata, had some harsh words for the opera- and ballet-bashing Timothée Chalamet on today's The View. “Oh, what a schmuck,” Lane shot when moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked his thoughts about Chalamet's CNN town hall comment that “no one cares about” ballet and opera anymore. With mock seriousness, Lane continued: “You know, one doesn't want to give this more attention than it deserves. And then … and then: “First of all, one should remember people will be going to see Swan Lake and La Traviata long after someone at a dinner party says, ‘Who was Timothée Chalamet?' I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary? Why isn't there a town hall meeting with Democrats discussing how to get this lunatic out of the White House?” RELATED: Pete Hammond's Oscar Predictions: What The Academy Voted For — And Who Didn't Cast A Ballot At All And, you know, I got news for Timmy: If you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can't tell you how much we don't care about ping-pong.” But Lane did have some comic speculation about what was going on behind-the-scenes of the CNN & Variety Town Hall Event with Chalamet and McConaughey: “I'm thinking some weed was smoked before,[or] this may just be a tragic case of terribly unfunny people trying to be funny, which always ends in disaster.” Lane, who was promoting his new Broadway revival Death of a Salesman — he teased that director Joe Mantello's production is “non-traditional” and “more abstract and psychological” interpretation — is merely the latest celebrity to criticize Chalamet's comments. Continuing in his take-no-prisoners approach, Lane moved on from Chalamet to relate an anecdote, first told by his friend Jesse Tyler Ferguson on a podcast, in which Lane met Ferguson's young son, who was duly dazzled by The Lion King star. The next day all these outlets picked it up, and said, “Nathan Lane makes unhinged remarks to 5-year-old. Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy.

Two Live Nation ticketing directors boasted about “robbing” fans blind and “taking advantage of them” with high fees in newly unsealed chat records tied to the company's antitrust lawsuit. The chats, first reported by Bloomberg, were sent between Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, who were then serving as regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters. Though at one point, Baker said, “I gouge them on ancil prices” to make up for changes in the base prices for seats. In one exchange from January 2022, Baker shared a screen grab of data related to a Kid Rock show in Tampa, Florida, and commented, “These people are so stupid” and “I have VIP parking up to $250 lol.” He then said, “I almost feel bad taking advantage of them,” followed by an all-caps “BAHAHAHAHAHA.” The pair then discussed raising parking prices for another Kid Rock gig in Virginia, with Weinhold appearing to show a screenshot of parking prices also up to $250. In a different conversation about parking, also from January 2022, Weinhold spoke about pushing the price of reserved parking to “$30 above” the minimum price, adding, “I'm done asking people for permission … I just do it now.” Baker then said, “I charge $50 to park in the grass lmao. He commented: “Robbing them blind baby That's how we do.” Weinhold replied, “lol.” In a statement, Live Nation said the exchange “absolutely doesn't reflect our values or how we operate. Because this was a private Slack message, leadership learned of this when the public did, and will be looking into the matter promptly. Our business only works when fans have great experiences, which is why we've capped amphitheater venue fees at 15 percent and have invested $1 billion in the last 18 months into U.S. venues and fan amenities.” In the years since, Baker has moved on to head of ticketing for Venue Nation, the division that oversees Live Nation's venues, including amphitheaters. Prior to this week's settlement, Live Nation had asked Judge Arun Subramanian to seal the messages between Baker and Weinhold as evidence, saying they would prejudice the jury. The Justice Department countered that they showed how “Live Nation is able to impose excessive prices that degrade the fan experience without fear of artists switching to another amphitheater because, in most cases, no alternative exists.” Hegseth Goes to War Against Photographers Taking Bad Pictures of Him ‘These People Are So Stupid': Live Nation Employees Boast About High Fees in Unsealed Messages After the settlement was announced earlier this week, Bloomberg and a handful of other media outlets filed a motion to have the exhibits unsealed, which Subramanian approved last night (March 11).

Melany Viljoen, 39, and Petrus Viljoen, 57, were taken into custody by Boca Raton police on Wednesday and charged with aggravated grand retail theft over $3,000, according to arrest records obtained by Page Six. The South African reality stars, who were part of the original cast of “The Real Housewives of Pretoria” when it premiered in 2022, were arrested during a traffic stop while driving their Range Rover. Boca Raton authorities first launched a six-month retail theft investigation on Aug. 29 after a “white male and female” were caught on CCTV footage entering the Publix and “ticket switching,” according to the arrest records. Melany and Petrus were also allegedly caught on security footage leaving the supermarket with carts full of expensive items after skipping the self-checkout lane. By clicking above you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The embattled reality personalities are accused of stealing a total of 392 items across 52 transactions between August 2025 and March 2026. Items reported stolen during the couple's alleged six-month shoplifting spree included two cases of Maison Perrier Forever Lime Sparkling Water at $16.39 each, one case of San Pellegrino Mineral Water at $23.99 and two bottles of La Marca Prosecco Sparkling Wine at $34.99 each. Other stolen merchandise included toilet paper, soda, produce and more groceries. According to Melany's arrest record, she admitted she and Petrus were the ones in the security footage obtained by investigators. Although Melany admitted to stealing $5,300 worth of items from the Boca Raton Publix, she told police she had no choice because she was in “survival mode” and “has not worked since coming to the US” without a visa, per her arrest record.

One film IndieWire's been talking about since early 2025 is Todd Wiseman Jr.'s dystopian debut feature “The School Duel.” The black-and-white satirical thriller debuted at the Deauville American Film Festival with screenings at the Miami and Sunscreen film festivals in Florida, where Wiseman's film picked up a raft of awards. Think an indie “Hunger Games” meets “The Purge” in this twisted debut, out from Altered Innocence in theaters this Spring. Related Stories Netflix Officially Announces ‘KPop Demon Hunters' Sequel, with Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans Returning How to Craft a Film Festival That Appeals to All Ages (No, Really, All Ages) More on the film courtesy of its synopsis: “In a near-future Florida where gun control has been abolished, the state's ambitious governor (Oscar Nuñez, ‘The Office') introduces a chilling solution to school shootings: a state-wide, televised fight-to-the-death competition known as ‘The School Duel.' Sammy, a troubled 13-year-old, secretly enlists against his mother's wishes — seduced by promises of purpose, patriotism, and notoriety. But as the deadly spectacle unfolds, that dream begins to crumble. Wiseman was raised in Tampa, Florida, before heading to the film program at New York University. Credits include producing the Emmy- and IDA-nominated Netflix short documentary “Long Shot,” which followed the real-life story of how footage from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was used to clear a man wrongly accused of murder. A first-look image from the film of him holding an AR-15 went viral on Reddit recently. Check out the film's newest trailer, an IndieWire exclusive, below.

Let's start here by noting how fundamentally irritating it is that we feel a need to keep an eye on Larry Ellison's giant dragons' hoard of money: In a perfect world (that still somehow had billionaires in it), Ellison would simply spend his cash making the world a better place, maybe by donating it to philanthropic causes, or designing ever-more-elaborate traps with which to ensnare the hated Beagle Boys. As is, though, we've gotten multiple reminders from just within the very recent memory of the pop culture world as to what a deforming impact the Oracle oligarch's gold piles can have, as he's been bankrolling his son David's purchases of first Paramount, and now Warner. Bros., over the course of basically a single year. Sure, the family had to take on dozens of billions of dollars in debt to do it, but Oracle money is still a core component of what's allowed the Ellison family to own two movie studios basically out of nowhere, with massive (usually bad) anticipated effects on those companies' staffs. All of which makes it fascinating to hear that Ellison's flagship tech company is apparently also gearing up to lay off “thousands” of its employees, on account of a “cash crunch” caused by its desire to build ever-more delicious, beautiful datacenters. This is per Futurism, which reports that Ellison's firm—which isn't expected to go “cash flow positive” until 2030, a state of affairs that would get you or us bunged into debtors' prison in an instant, but which is apparently fine for multi-billion-dollar companies—has now decided it likes having squat, water-draining pollution factories more than it enjoys employees. As noted by reporting in both that piece and also a recent one from Quartz, it's worth being clear that what is not happening here is that the techno-optimists have realized their dreams of being able to replace their employees with AI: It's the far more prosaic situation where Ellison had to choose between spending his money on building another server farm and keeping hundreds upon hundreds of people still doing important work for the company on payroll, and chose the former. At the moment, it's just a fun reminder that even infinite piles of tech money may have limits; given that there are some serious concerns about the financial consequences of Paramount's decision to deliberately overpay to buy Warner Bros. out from under Netflix a few weeks back, it'll be interesting to see if Oracle's cash crunch will wind up having any down-river effects on anything that any of us will ever actually be allowed to see or touch. (Besides the rivers downstream from any of these datacenters, which, we need to stress, you should absolutely not expose your hands or eyes to.)

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller haven't brought a film they've directed to theaters since 2014's “22 Jump Street,” which only came out about four months after their “The Lego Movie” — a now somewhat shocking example of how prolific they were at the time, compared with what would wind up being a 12- year wait for their next film. Of course, there's the whole Han Solo situation, something I'm fairly confident the filmmaking duo would rather skip over, but it's kind of hard to put their seemingly triumphant return (“Project Hail Mary” currently sits at 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, as this is being typed) into context without mentioning their last outing as directors. Related Stories Anne Thompson's Final Oscar Predictions in 24 Categories ‘Undertone' Review: This Low-Budget Horror Sensation Can't Live Up to Its Clever Premise The “too long; didn't read” version: their vision of what a Han Solo movie should be conflicted with the studio's vision. They were then offered what was essentially a demotion, they refused, then the two “Star Wars” obsessives (who even appear as Stormtroopers in “The Empire Strikes Back Special Edition”) were no longer directing the Han Solo movie. (And this is why, during this interview, sometimes the length of time that has passed since their “last movie” is different, depending on if their movie was released or if we're discussing the last time they were actually sitting in director's chairs.) In their “Project Hail Mary” (based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name), Ryan Gosling plays Dr. Ryland Grace, a former scientist who is currently teaching elementary school after publishing some controversial opinions about what's really necessary for life to flourish. Those same opinions are now needed when he's recruited by a scientist named Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller) to examine a group of tiny organisms that are slowly killing the Sun. In fact, all of the local stars in our galaxy are suffering the same fate, save one. It's soon determined that Grace will be part of a crew on a one-way journey to the unaffected star to figure out why, and then send the answer back to Earth. If all of this seems like a long shot, well, they know that and it's why the mission is called Project Hail Mary. But he soon discovesr he's not quite alone, meeting another sole survivor from another solar system who is there for the exact same reasons. Grace and the alien he calls Rocky — after Rocky Balboa and because the creature looks like a rock spider — have to figure out a way to communicate if either of them have any hope to save their respective home worlds. Ahead, Lord and Miller poo-poo any notion that “Project Hail Mary” had to be an “eff you” movie in any way to any would be detractors or anyone doubting their competence as directors. They are quick to point out all the work they've done as producers, including, so far, two “Spider-Verse” films, with a third set for 2027. Still … all of this had to be on their minds at least somewhat, right? IndieWire: Last night, I watched the new Paul McCartney documentary, “Man on the Run.” It reminded me a bit of you two… Phil Lord: What if there were two Ringos? He feels this is a setback, but he says his ego kicks in and decides, fuck you, here's “Band on the Run.” “Project Hail Mary” feels like your “Band on the Run.” Lord: I like it, but unlike Paul we can't just decide to make something good. Lord: And a lot of hard work. My counter would be, it's been 12 years since you had a directed movie out and I'm sure you've had opportunities to direct something since [“Solo”], but you waited for this one because I feel like it had to be an “eff you” movie. Lord: [Laughs] Listen, I play with a chip on my shoulder and it's a very useful chip. That was not the motivation for making this. I think we just really fell in love with Andy's novel. And the idea of doing this with Ryan. The problem of making the audience fall in love with a rock with no eyes. They all felt like the kind of problems that would be fun to spend five years solving. Miller: It felt like the type of thing where we could get the awe, wonder and spectacle and bigness of why we go to the movies. And then the intimacy of these relationships that make you cry and laugh at the same time. Hopefully, we can get you feeling both in the exact same moment. From the outside looking in, if I'm you, I'd be thinking, if we don't make a great movie with our next movie, the press will start saying stuff like, “Well, they are good producers now, but it's been so long. And what happened to movies like ‘The Lego Movie' and the ‘Jump Street' films?” So that would be in my head, that this has to be exactly the right project. Lord: For one, we don't need the context of any one moment in our lives to create the feeling that this has to be… That fear, undergirding all of our hard work. Because I do think that the standard has always been — someone told us this when we were pretty young — the standard is undeniable excellence. That's what you have to give them. Miller: Especially when you're doing something original. And giving people a new experience with something they haven't seen or felt before. So that's the way we approach every single thing. Lord: And when I think about what it's like to try and deliver on a Spider-Verse movie, that looks like nothing has ever looked? Or a second Spider-Verse movie that has to deliver on the expectations set up by the first one. Let alone the third one that we're mixing right now… That was supposed to come out in 2024, so the anticipation keeps building. Anyone releasing a movie is terrified that they are not going to be able to deliver on people's expectations. It really is a useful feeling to be like, it's Sunday, I just want to sleep in, and you get up because you want the movie to be everything it can possibly be. They would do anything to make the movie better. Miller: And I will say that I have a belief that anxiety is, at least partially, good. If you hear a sound downstairs in the middle of the night and you're a creative person, you're asking, what if it's a dog that got in? You asking these questions is your brain being creative and it's the thing pushing you to keep doing something about it. Lord: The thing that's interesting about this question is there is a parallel in the movie, right? The last thing he wants to do is meet an alien, right? The last thing he wants to do is fly a spaceship. And yet, there's a weird confidence about this guy. It's been eight or nine years since you've actually directed a movie… Of course I want to win and make everybody really happy and love the movie. I think since the last movie we directed came out, we've made six movies, three seasons of television… No one is accusing you of being lazy. I do realize how much you guys have done. Lord: And that gives you so much knowledge. We got to work with so many great directors. And you just become really confident in your process. So you become really confident that, yeah, we can tackle hard things if we have a healthy process. Yes, there is going to be a new ice age and we might not survive, but we do have pretty good brains here on planet Earth and if we have a good process, we might be able to lick this thing. You mention Gosling's character, he had to be aggressively persuaded to go on this mission. Lord: People say that every interview you have, but it truly happened. You've got an Andy Weir book and Drew Goddard, who is great, writing the script. It's set in space, the main character talks into the camera a lot to chronicle his thoughts. How did you avoid making “The Martian 2”? Lord: So much of what we try to do with everything is try to approach it in a way you don't expect and to challenge ourselves to do things differently than how we would do it. Lord: But, like, we are not Ridley Scott. Spaceships are full of wires and pipes. Zero gravity space walking is messy, you bump into stuff. We wanted the whole movie to not feel like a Slick Rick Macintosh, we wanted it to be a PC. We didn't want anything about this movie to be smooth and we didn't want space to be antiseptic and cold. We wanted it to be warm, right? Miller: And I think, you know, Ryland Grace is not Mark Watney. Mark Watney is an astronaut who chose to go to Mars and do a daring thing. Ryland Grace is afraid and vulnerable and has to grow as a person before he can become a hero. And he's such a gifted actor he was able to pull it off and keep the tone where it can go from comedy to emotional drama to excitement to terror — sometimes all in the same scene. I'm familiar with Neal Scanlan's work on it and James Ortiz being the puppeteer, but what's the key for an alien to still be alien, but also something audiences find adorable? I believe in the book it's described as “spider-like.” And we didn't want to take any short cuts. And this is where we had a certain amount of confidence: his expression comes from his movement. So, we really felt confident if we built a great puppet that allowed you to project personality onto this seemingly empty facade. Each one of them, we made it different. This one is skeptical.” They'd have different personalities and we figured, if we get the right movement, it will be expressive. If he's expressive, we'll just fall in love with him. There was a day we went to the creature shop and Neal showed us a few different clay sculpts of Rocky. And there was just one we kept coming back to and there was just something about him … I like that guy. Lord: Do you know what it is? Miller: It's this rock crab spider thing with five legs and nothing to grab onto. But, the way he moves and his personality, you fall in love with him. Lord: And his design came out of character. Miller: We also worked on these carvings that he would put onto his body. And they all had a story we had explanations for that we never explain in the movie. All this stuff that hints at a rich history and culture and keeps visual interest for whatever angle he's on. When Rocky tells you his name he [extends his arms] to show you his tartan, but I don't know if the audience picks up on that. I think they will at least subconsciously. When you're designing something like that, you're just trying to create opportunities for the future and load the dice. So that everybody has enough toys in their sandbox. He reminded me a bit of Yoda. Not the wise Yoda, but the one we first meet in “The Empire Strikes Back” who is stealing food from Luke and playing with flashlights. And poor Frank Oz is getting hand cramps, breaking his fingers to get expression out of this piece of rubber. But so much of it, Neal would say, “Ryan is the sixth puppeteer.” Because Ryan's belief and his engagement with this thing is part of what makes you believe. Miller: Ryan believed that Rocky was real and he cares about Rocky, so we also do. Lord: One of the things that James told us, when you're doing live puppeteering on stage — like in “War Horse” or “Avenue Q” or whatever — suddenly the puppeteers were visible and what they look at directs the eyes of the audience. So we're watching Ryan for where he's paying attention and that tells the story. Stay tuned for next week, when we'll have more (spoiler-y!) Amazon MGM Studios will release “Project Hail Mary” in theaters, including IMAX, on Friday, March 20. By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

In Imperfect Women, Eleanor (Kerry Washington), Nancy (Kate Mara), and Mary (Elisabeth Moss) lie, scheme, and make questionable choices. But they are grounded characters that feel, for all of their messiness, recognizable. The show's central three are not paragons of virtue, nor are they flattened into antiheroes for the sake of prestige-TV edge. Instead, this drama allows them to exist in a far more interesting middle ground: women whose flaws are deeply human. Like the source material, the series is less concerned with delivering a straightforward mystery than it is with examining the complicated emotional terrain between three women who have spent decades orbiting one another's lives. Imperfect Women's inciting incident is the murder of Nancy, a sweet, working-class dancer who married into extraordinary wealth. Her husband Robert (Joel Kinnaman) seems to love the bottle more than he loves her, and the marriage has long since calcified into something brittle and performative. Nancy has begun stepping outside the confines of that life in more ways than one. Most notably, she has reentered the workforce to produce a dance production, an effort that signals a quiet attempt to reclaim her independence. For Eleanor, a privileged and ambitious career woman, the news is destabilizing in ways she struggles to articulate. Sent to identify Nancy's body, she becomes increasingly untethered in the days that follow. Her already complicated family dynamics, which include a judgmental brother (played by Leslie Odom Jr.) and a mother so formidable she borders on terrifying (portrayed by Sheryl Lee Ralph), only exacerbate Eleanor's spiral. Grief, guilt, and unresolved tensions with Nancy begin to bleed into every aspect of her life, leading her down a path of increasingly questionable decisions. Nancy's death forces Mary to reassess the careful domestic life she has constructed for herself. The marriage she once believed stable begins to crumble under scrutiny, and memories of past compromises surface with uncomfortable clarity. Mary's storyline is perhaps the quietest of the three, but it is also one of the show's most emotionally resonant, examining how grief can reopen doors that someone has spent years trying to keep firmly shut. Structurally, Imperfect Women plays with time and perspective in ways that keep the mystery engaging. It's a structure that could easily feel gimmicky, but the show's careful attention to character ensures that each shift in viewpoint deepens the story. It almost goes without saying that both Washington and Moss deliver powerful, nuanced performances. Washington captures Eleanor's unravelling with sharp precision, while Moss brings a quiet intensity to Mary's slow emotional reckoning. Through flashbacks and perspective shifts, Mara crafts a portrait of a woman whose contradictions make her impossible to reduce. Mara walks this tightrope with remarkable sensitivity, ensuring that Nancy never feels like a mere plot device. What ultimately makes Imperfect Women stand out, though, is the balance between its three protagonists. Eleanor, Nancy, and Mary inhabit vastly different worlds (economically, emotionally, and morally), but the show gives each of them equal narrative gravity. Their perspectives overlap, contradict, and illuminate one another in ways that make the series feel less like a traditional whodunit and more like a study on the fragility of long friendships. There are also moments when the supporting cast feels slightly underdeveloped, existing more as a catalyst for the protagonists' crises. Imperfect Women may not reinvent the murder-mystery format, but it does elevate it through sharply drawn characters and a willingness to let its them be complicated, contradictory, occasionally infuriating, and ultimately compelling.

Subscribe for full access to The Hollywood Reporter Subscribe for full access to The Hollywood Reporter The dynamic duo opens up about how they helped Ryan Gosling dance with a mop, how Meryl Streep became a voice cameo and how they developed the best Spidey sense in Hollywood. The last time Phil Lord and Chris Miller directed a film, Netflix, Amazon and Apple weren't making movies, COVID hadn't changed theatergoing habits and the existential threat of AI wasn't upending the industry. (Sony, which released Lord and Miller's 2014 feature 22 Jump Street, hadn't even been hacked yet.) Twelve years have passed since Lord and Miller helmed a movie, and on March 20, they'll be blasting back into theaters with their most ambitious directorial effort yet, Amazon MGM Studios' $200 million Project Hail Mary. They are already deep into writing and producing 2027's trilogy capper, Beyond the Spider-Verse, as well as a slew of spinoffs, including the Nicolas Cage starrer Spider-Man Noir series (bowing on Amazon in May). 'Project Hail Mary' Review: Ryan Gosling Proves He Can Have Chemistry With a Rock in Thrilling Space Odyssey Warmed by Humanity and Hope When not actively working on adding to their global box office haul of more than $4 billion, they serve as respected sounding boards for the slew of filmmakers they call friends. “I've been showing them unfinished cuts of my films since Baby Driver,” notes Edgar Wright. “They're both incredibly astute and, most crucially, constructive.” He adds: “A lot of the time you get notes that are hard to address or action, but their feedback is always creative and practical. I remember Chris once said about some unnecessary exposition, ‘It's the answer to a question no one is asking.' Project Hail Mary, based on The Martian author Andy Weir's 2022 novel, stars Ryan Gosling as a schoolteacher sent light-years away on a mission to save humanity — a logline that mirrors Lord and Miller's conviction that originality can save Hollywood from an over-reliance on AI (they have a lot to say on the subject). He notes that lessons the Spider-Verse masterminds learned with their animated work informed how they shaped the visuals of Hail Mary. During a visit to THR's offices in early March, Lord and Miller revealed the half-dozen movies they're eyeing as directing vehicles, why they had Gosling dance with a mop and Cage's surprising mantra for Spider-Noir. Ryan Gosling had the rights to produce Project Hail Mary.

And then of course our old [Lego Movie] comrades [from Warner Bros.] Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll wound up over there. You can't really do that with live action, right? LORD We're always going, “Oh, they didn't understand this. We can rewrite this line so it's clear.” Ryan spends most of his time onscreen with an alien, Rocky. Did you know from day one Rocky would be a puppet on set? We did chemistry read auditions with Ryan and several different puppeteers. We had a temporary puppet for them to work with, and James Ortiz came in with his own. Some of the scenes we couldn't get puppeteers to do, like being inside a ball rolling around that set. The animation team built on what the puppeteers did and tried to make it move in the same way so that you couldn't tell what was different. LORD Even when we couldn't get the puppet to do what we needed it to do for a shot, we had James Ortiz in a recording booth onstage with an earwig to Ryan so that he was always present. You got Meryl Streep and others to cameo as different voices on a menu for Rocky. We gave Ryan an earwig and James one. And then we had different people on set come up at the microphone and didn't tell Ryan who it was going to be. His kids were on set, so they started doing silly voices. There was no greenscreen in this movie, which is unusual. At one point, [DP] Greig [Fraser] and [visual effects production supervisor] Paul [Lambert] were like, “This is the most complex film we've ever worked on, and we just finished making two Dune films.” What does it take on the VFX front to do a movie like this ? MILLER It's a massive undertaking, we had 2018 VFX shots on this movie. Led by the brilliant Paul Lambert and Mags Sarnowska. LORD It's a huge team of people lead by several different really wonderful VFX vendors, some of the greatest companies in the world including ILM, Framestore, Sony Imageworks. All of these movies take a village and this one is no exception. Arslan also spent about two months embedded with us in edit during post production. MILLER ILM did all of the spaceship exterior stuff and wide outer space shots. They did everything that happens outside during the fishing trip sequence and did an amazing job of making that absolutely beautiful. This movie couldn't have been done without all of this amazing work, led by Paul Lambert and Mags Sarnowska. MILLER Ryan is always looking for a scene partner. Mary, the voice of the computer — we had Priya Kansara on set in a little voice booth in his ear. Were you surprised by how technology has changed? MILLER One thing we did on this with Greig, and we've started incorporating into this final Spider-Verse, is doing virtual prep with the Unreal Engine and a virtual camera. We had most of the space scenes pre-shot as a virtual animatic. LORD Josh Wichard, who was an improv performer and an actor, was willing to wear the immodest suit with the ping-pong balls all over it. We'd just improvise a bunch of scenes with Josh and work out blocking and figure out if it worked [long before we got on set]. There is a show-stopping scene that was not in the book in which Sandra Hüller sings a Harry Styles song at karaoke. MILLER Sandra has a beautiful singing voice, and she would sing in between setups. Ryan came over to us and said, “It's crazy that we're doing karaoke and that she isn't singing. We figured out that it could work, but it's not our favorite thing to ask an actor, “Hey, would you mind singing a song in two days?” Bezos tweeted how much he liked the movie. And he had basically the whole season memorized. LORD His big idea [for the character] is, he said, “I'm a spider pretending to be a person.” That AI video of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fighting caused quite a stir, including a respected screenwriter positing that some day, a kid with the taste of Christopher Nolan will come along and make something incredible with AI. AI can only regurgitate the average of things that have come before it. And one of the great things about Christopher Nolan, and what we try to do, is make something that feels like you haven't seen it before. I don't think AI could have made that first Spider-Verse movie because there was nothing like it to have taken from. If you look at [Gosling's character] Ryland Grace's wardrobe, it's a combination of these very specific things. Ryan had experiences with a fox, and he wanted to have a cardigan that had foxes on it. LORD What you really experience are the stacking of individual artists' hands and idiosyncratic taste, piling on top of each other and becoming a virtuous cycle, compounding one another. What kind of projects can cut through in this age with so much competition for our attention? LORD When we were working on an animated movie once, the studio that was making it was nervous about how to make an animated movie into a commercial success. So they commissioned a firm to study animated films and to figure out what the common denominator was of the movies that were successful. And after $1 million, the answer that came back was all the successful animated movies had one thing in common. And I'm so glad someone else had to spend that money, but that was a very critical lesson for us. Every one of our strange [filmmaker] friends, their biggest success was their most specific and idiosyncratic one. You are in the marketplace selling projects. Are you concerned about consolidation and Warner Bros. being swallowed up? LORD Yeah, and our minds are on the people that might lose their jobs. So once you get this out into the world, is the next year of your life on Spider-Verse? Are you itching to direct after Spider-Verse is done? LORD There's a backlog of like seven or eight things that we want to do. Andy Weir's previous novel, Artemis, is something you've been attached to for years. MILLER There is an Artemis script, it's delightful. MILLER When my son had science questions I couldn't answer, I would be like, “Maybe Andy will know.” MILLER “If you had a metal rod that went from here to a star system five light-years away and you pulled on the rod, would the person feel it right away or five years later?” MILLER It would be five years later, because nothing can move faster than light. What do you tell people trying to start out as filmmakers today? If you chase quality, that wins out over time.

After failing to respond to a lawsuit from his landlord, Mickey Rourke has lost legal possession of his Los Angeles home after falling nearly $60,000 behind on his rent. A Los Angeles County court clerk granted the landlord's request for a default judgment on Monday, meaning the owner now has the court order needed to enforce Rourke's eviction. (Rourke did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.) As Rolling Stone reported in late December, the actor allegedly stopped paying his monthly rent last year and owed $59,100 in back payments for the three-bedroom Spanish bungalow that he began renting in April 2025, around the same time he was asked to leave the U.K.'s Celebrity Big Brother after “inappropriate language” and “unacceptable behavior.” Amid his legal troubles, a GoFundMe was set up for Rourke in early January, though he quickly claimed he wasn't involved with the fundraiser. “I'd rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger.” Kimberly Hines, his manager of more than a decade, then admitted that she set up the account: “If Mickey doesn't want this help from people that want to support him and his fans, then that money will be returned,” she said. Jack Osbourne Names Baby Daughter After Late Father Ozzy Hegseth Goes to War Against Photographers Taking Bad Pictures of Him In mid-January, after surrendering his shotgun to authorities, Rourke spoke up again about the GoFundMe campaign, which by then had raised $90,000. “Vicious cruel godamm lie to hustle money using my fuckin name so motherfuckin embarassing,” he said on social media. “There will b severe repercussions to individual who did this very bad thing to me and anyone who knows me knows payback k will be goddamm severe!!!!!

The pair share a baby daughter, Saga Blade, born last March. Let's just say Machine Gun Kelly is stoked about a lot of things. But specifically, he's stoked about a lot of Megan Fox things. For the second time in a week, MGK has left an enthusiastic comment on one of Fox's thirst trap photos, this time writing, “stoked we had a baby” alongside a series of snaps of Fox sticking out her tongue and crawling on all fours as she stares lasciviously at the camera while wearing a skin-tight strappy dress with an exposed thong. Harry Styles Nails Dreamy Cover of '80s Tears For Fears Pop Smash in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge: Watch Eminem Pays Loving Tribute to Late Shade 45 DJ Lord Sear: 'He Made the World a Better Place' “Love was the most savage monster of all,” Fox captioned the pictorial posted on Wednesday (March 11) which also drew praise from Charli Damelio (“gorgeous”), Jenna Dewan (“Good lord Megan”) and Rachel Bilson (fire emoji), among others. Fox, 39, and MGK (born Colson Baker), 35, welcomed their first child together, daughter Saga Blade, last March, reportedly three months after they split. Earlier this year, MGK responded to rumors that he had gotten back together with Fox, writing, “Mainstream gossip media is so [corn emoji].” While the couple's romantic status remains unclear, MGK is clearly loving whatever Fox is shooting pictures for as evidenced by another comment he left on pics from what looked like the same session on March 3, when he wrote “stoked i have your phone number.” This time he was commenting on a series of images of Fox in a black top and matching thong, paired with thigh-high stockings, a black, spiked choker necklace and tall platform heels with marijuana leaves on the heels.

Pussycat Dolls fans, this is the news you've been manifesting. Following days of social media speculation, the iconic pop force announced Thursday (March 11) that they're set to hit the stage with a 2026 U.K., Europe and North America arena tour. Marking their first official tour since their disbandment in 2010, the group will be joined by special guests Mya and Lil' Kim for 53 dates, kicking off at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, on June 5. This time around, The Pussycat Dolls will return as a trio, comprising founding members Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts. The original six-piece lineup also featured Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta and Carmit Bachar. Fans can sign up for early access to tickets and VIP packages at the official Pussycat Dolls website by Monday via the mailing list. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general sale beginning March 20 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation. To mark the announcement, The Pussycat Dolls have released a high-octane new single titled “Club Song,” which was produced by RAYE collaborator Mike Sabath. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dates were pushed back numerous times before being put on hold then canceled entirely two years later. In October 2022, two members of The Pussycat Dolls claimed they weren't informed of the news until they saw bandmate Scherzinger‘s announcement on social media. “We want to say how incredibly disappointed we are to learn of an announcement made on Instagram that the Pussycat Dolls reunion tour is cancelled,” Sutta and Bachar wrote on the latter's Instagram feed. Either way, it seems as though it's the end of a chapter to an incredible life altering experience filled with some awesome memories that we will forever be grateful for.” The new editions will arrive May 8 via UMe, alongside a digital deluxe expanded edition dubbed PCD Forever, featuring new remixes by Devault and Charlotte Plank, and ShowMusik.
