loser: Tom Hardy: Find someone who loves you the way this guy loves the Star Wagon. The actor’s alleged behavior on MobLand – Refusing to leave his mobile home for hours on end, disrupting production – is doubly damaging to PR because it is the same thing that was previously called out on Mad Max: Fury Road It was appointed over a decade ago (after waiting hours, Charlize Theron He reportedly shouted at Hardy, “Okay, silly [c-word] One hundred thousand dollars for every minute he spent detaining this crew. How disrespectful you are!”

But here is a telling quote from a source close to MobLand Production: “Save Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren Others are waiting for it to be career suicide. This is an industrial thing that we must say many will miss what is wrong with it. It should be career suicide to maintain it any The cast and crew wait for hours while you do whatever…in your trailer. “Brosnan and Mirren are royalty, how dare they!” Attitude is another way of saying the more famous you are, the more your feelings matter — which is what keeps this whole entitlement thing going.

loser: Miles Teller: Do you know what gives entertainment news readers joy? A new example of the Streisand effect (whereby attempting to remove information from public view inadvertently causes it to become known much more widely). In this case, the teller sweeps to IndieWire About 2015 Respected Profile where the journalist repeatedly referred to him as an “idiot.” Naturally, this led to the profile being recirculated and many readers concluded that… Top Gun: Maverick The actor was, in fact, probably a stupid person (at the time, at least).

Ironically, Teller made his latest comment while doing the kind of press he says he’s largely avoided since the 2015 experience, so who knows how long it will be before the actor sticks his head out again. “It’s unfortunate that being a good person doesn’t sell you,” Tiller added. “If you go to bed and put your head on your pillow and recognize how you treat people honestly, that’s what matters.” He’s right, of course, and let’s also point out that he’s getting huge praise for his performance in James Gray’s smash hit at Cannes. paper tiger.

winner: Ken Parsons/Back rooms/A24 and Carrie Parker/mania/Focus features (again): Social media has a lot of fun with Disney Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Being beaten before the The rise of YouTuberswhich ironically looks like a group of squabbling, underfunded rebels who have taken down the largest intellectual property in the Galactic Empire.

First up, Parsons’ horror film A24 Back rooms It is expected to break the studio Civil war record with an opening weekend topping $40 to $50 million (The Mandalorian and Grogu It’s expected to drop by a perfectly acceptable 50 percent in its second weekend — despite theatergoers having to wake parents asleep in their seats after each show). Based on Parsons’ viral YouTube series that cost less than $10 million, Back rooms It has an 87 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and follows a therapist (Renate Reinsve) who enters an alternate dimension after her patient disappears.

Meanwhile, this other YouTuber turned horror sensation, Carrie Parker,just saw mania summit The Mandalorian and Grogu on Wednesday in the midst of its third gravity-defying week. Parker is so sought-after at the moment that one studio has made him a $10 million offer for a movie he has yet to release. Parker has already struck a first-right negotiating deal with Universal’s Blumhouse-Atomic Monster franchise, but now he knows he can get at least $10 million for literally anything he thinks of next.

winner:Steven Spielberg: Have you ever seen a final trailer for a movie that takes place at a major studio and is narrated by its director? This is the case for the new trailer for Disclosure day (Don’t watch if you want to avoid spoilers), which has had one of the strangest and most coincidental marketing campaigns in Hollywood history, with a real-life revelation involving government officials claiming a UFO cover-up coinciding with Universal’s promotional campaign for their film about the same thing. Universal used a muddy mix of traditional marketing, clips highlighting the director’s belief that aliens have likely visited our planet, and footage in the latest trailer that looks almost identical to the videos the Pentagon declassified just last week (for some sarcasm on this matter, here’s my take on UFO videos).

This has been confusing to many, especially those with a conspiratorial mindset, even as a writer David Cobb He went out of his way to say that there was no coordination between the film and the government (of course that is what happened). they I want you to think, don’t I?) Meanwhile, film critics in the usual “first reaction” crowd (“Best movie in 20 years!”) are thrilled about the film (others I trust say Disclosure day It’s certainly good – and has ol’ Spielberg charm – although it’s not as racy as those early social media reviews).

winnerArtificial intelligence movies/Ash kosha: Industry resistance and ethical concerns will never take AI filmmaking off the main production lines. This week’s example: A film produced entirely by artificial intelligence will open the Tribeca Film Festival next month. Violet dreams (clip below) is a clever use of the medium – highlighting the Iranian regime’s horrific crackdown on protesters last January. This technology allowed director Ash Koosha to produce a 75-minute film in just three months for $2,000. It’s a compelling example of how AI can be used by a creator who lacks studio resources to tell an important story while the subject is still in the headlines (no one is going to say, “Why didn’t he just set the cast and film in Iran?”). Fortunately, AI filmmaking isn’t all Spencer Pratt Batman commercials and grumpy cat barista videos (although this one is a personal favorite).
