Taylor Sheridan is now known for being the brains behind the neo-Western TV series Yellowstone, which recently wrapped up its series finale. While the actor turned TV juggernaut hit it big with the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Hell or High Water and the Paramount series, his debut Sicario is still regarded as one of the best films of the past two decades.

The Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro starrer was directed by Denis Villeneuve and was critically acclaimed for its nuanced exploration of the border conflict. However, neither Villeneuve nor Blunt returned for Sicario: Day of the Soldado, leading to a much lesser positive reception. Del Toro’s apprehension at the absence of the core talent might not bid well for the upcoming Sicario 3.

Steven Spielberg's mystery movie gets more interesting and exciting with each new revelation. First, there was the detail that the so-called "event film" would be out May 15, 2026. Then there was the tidbit that it's allegedly going to involve UFOs. And, finally, the numerous casting announcements — featuring the likes of Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, and more. Now, thanks to co-writer David Koepp, we now know perhaps the most exciting detail of all: that the film is apparently a completely original idea of Spielberg's.

In a new interview with TheWrap, Koepp was tight-lipped about specifics surrounding the project — joking that "I think deep down, it bothers Steven that I've read the script." — but did let the very fascinating tidbit leak about it being an original idea.

"It's great because it's an original," Koepp noted. "It was his idea, his story and working on originals is really fun."

Quick Links Cruise and Blunt Entertain in Edge of Tomorrow Edge of Tomorrow Is a Rousing Adventure and Gained Cruise Critical Praise

It has been 10 years since Tom Cruise took on a daunting alien race. In 2014, Cruise released Edge of Tomorrow, a time-looping action-adventure film about humanitys war against an invading alien race. Groundhog Day meets Independence Day; the film would become Cruises highest-rated science fiction film. Although the film was not quite a box office success, critics and audiences loved the sci-fi thriller, which is now available for streaming.

Edge of Tomorrow stars Tom Cruise as Major William Cage, a public affairs officer in a global military defense team known as the Umf. Assigned to promote the militarys efforts in the ongoing war against an alien race called the Mimics, Cage is outraged when he is forced to join the front line in the militarys newest campaign.

Emily Blunt is one of the biggest actors in the business right now. Not only has she been starring in beloved movies such as "The Devil Wears Prada" or "Edge of Tomorrow" for nearly two decades, but she's also now an Oscar winner thanks to her work in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer." Like most people who star in movies, Blunt is also a big fan of movies. No surprise there. But what's her favorite movie? Demonstrating good taste, it's an absolute classic directed by none other than Steven Spielberg.

"I always say 'Jaws,' people are sick of hearing me say that," Blunt said when asked what her four favorite movies are during a red carpet interview at SXSW 2024 with Letterboxd. "It's an incredible, perfect film." Indeed, she has been vocal about her love of "Jaws" for a long time.

Tom Hanks once spilled the beans on a surprising regret from Angels & Demons—and nope, it wasn’t about hunting down ancient clues or dodging cryptic villains. It all revolved around his unexpected encounter—or rather, missed encounter with the Man of Steel actress.

Hanks looked back, admitting that while he unraveled Vatican mysteries, he also missed the chance to work closely with his co-star. For Hanks, it was a “what if” moment in his film journey, wishing he’d had more time to share the screen with one of cinema’s future powerhouses.

In Hollywood, sometimes off-set dramas capture more attention and scrutiny than on-set ones. In actress Rebecca Ferguson’s case as well, a bombshell revelation that she made about her co-star has taken the media as well as the public by surprise. The Swedish actress known for her magnetic portrayals in projects like The White Queen and The Greatest Showman, detailed a very unsettling incident involving a co-star.

She went on record to say that this co-star publicly berated her and left her in tears. In the midst of all this, she did not reveal the name of that actor, further prompting the public to put their thinking caps on for a possible name.

When Doug Liman's sci-fi actioner "Edge of Tomorrow" was released in 2014, it opened to a mere $28.7 million at the domestic box office. This was considered a minor scandal at the time, as the film was roundly praised by critics for its slick wartime combat sequences, clever time-loop premise, and charismatic leading performances from stars Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise. Many also saw "Edge of Tomorrow" as an antidote to the ascendant tide of Marvel movies that had, by then, completely infiltrated the cinema marketplace. Recall that 2014 was the year of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Captain America: The Winter Solider," two wildly popular films that, perhaps because of their popularity, invited early invitations of the phrase "Marvel fatigue."

"Edge of Tomorrow" was often touted as proof that great, original films — that is: not driven by marketable I.P. — were still being made. Its paltry opening was held up as...

Tom Cruise has possibly hinted at an Edge of Tomorrow sequel, expressing gratitude to co-stars and fans in a recent Instagram post. A potential collaboration with Warner Bros. indicates the long-awaited sequel might be in the works after a decade. Cruise's determination and success history suggest an Edge of Tomorrow sequel could be a box office hit with the original cast.

On the 10th anniversary of the release of Edge of Tomorrow, star Tom Cruise's wild sci-fi action ride of 2014, the Hollywood movie star made a post on Instagram where he hinted at the idea of a sequel to the film. He took to the social media platform to thank co-star Emily Blunt for being "a great friend and a brilliant actress." Cruise also mentions director Doug Liman and other actors from the film, Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson, also complimenting their participation in the movie. Christopher McQuarrie, who...

An acting career that began at the age of 18 with stage performances soon transformed into one of the most versatile ones in Hollywood as Emily Blunt began showcasing her true potential. Following her breakthrough role in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, the actress turned around her fortune. Additionally, her on-screen charisma and athletic energy helped her land acclaimed roles opposite some of the biggest stalwarts like Tom Cruise.

A 2011 sci-fi thriller opposite Matt Damon gave the actress enough screen time to prove her mettle and star in a major sci-fi flick in 2014 that featured one of the most mind-bending plots. Laced with a unique taste of humor, the Doug Liman directorial proved to be a cult classic despite its modest box office returns, which again, Blunt believed fell way short of her expectations and preparations.

Exclusive: Another Grammer will appear in the Paramount+ series Frasier next season.

Greer Grammer will guest star on the series as Roz Doyle’s (Peri Gilpin) daughter Alice all grown up. Now in her late twenties, friendly, outgoing Alice has inherited more than some of her mother’s free-spirited ways. Having just moved to Providence to study architecture, Alice is eager to catch up with Frasier’s son Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott)—and complicate whatever romantic plans he may have.

Gilpin appeared in one episode of the new Frasier last season and was previously announced to be returning for Season 2 in a recurring capacity. Production is currently underway in Los Angeles at Paramount Studios.

The series follows Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) in the next chapter of his life after he returns to Boston to face new challenges, forge new relationships and – with hope – finally fulfill an old dream or two.

After the earth-shattering success of Barbie, fans expected Ryan Gosling to deliver a summer blockbuster with The Fall Guy. Sadly, Gosling’s Kenergy seemed to fail in driving the audience to the theaters as it turned out to be a massive box office flop.

It must be noted that despite the poor box office results, the David Leitch brainchild did critically very well. Several critics claimed that the film was entertaining and was a solid one-time watch. However, some fans don’t share similar sentiments on Reddit after completing The Fall Guy.

Everyone knows that cinema is subjective and a particular movie does not need to be appreciated by all. But The Fall Guy defies even the simplest of logic for its mindless action which does not justify its ratings.

Spoilers for The Fall Guy ahead!

Considering her years of experience in Hollywood, Emily Blunt has shared the screen with several renowned icons and delivered some of her most riveting performances. However, there was a time when even Blunt was a newcomer in the industry and struggled with confidence while sharing the screen with veteran icons.

Thus, reflecting on her initial years in Hollywood, Emily Blunt recalled a memorable experience with Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

The late Carrie Fisher was one of the prime contributors to the success of Star Wars. She along with Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford impressed the fans with the iconic Star Wars Original Trilogy. The late actress returned to the franchise after three decades in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Sadly, Carrie Fisher did not have a pleasant return to the epic space opera franchise. She realized a major issue female physique in Hollywood. The Princess Leia fame was disheartened to see the industry being so appearance-driven even after so many years.

Presently, the late actress has once again been subjected to headlines after her close friend and musician James Blunt made some disappointing revelations. He admitted that Fisher had intense pressure to meet the physical demands of the Sequel Trilogy.

Carrie Fisher...

Many generations have grown up loving the Star Wars film franchise, which is among the most adored of all time. It is a hit, and so is its cast, which included the unforgettable late Carrie Fisher. While fans continue to mourn her death, a recent touching revelation from her friend James Blunt reflected on the pressures she faced in the industry, particularly those demanding she maintain a youthful, slender figure.

Indeed, the global shock that followed Fisher’s unexpected demise in 2016 still reverberates through the hearts of fans and cinephiles alike. At 60, she had just reignited our collective nostalgia with her return to the galaxy far, far away as Princess Leia in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Yet according to Blunt, Star Wars executives had “put pressure on her to be thin”, which is why Fisher was “mistreating...

British singer James Blunt said that his friend Carrie Fisher’s death in 2016 came as she was “mistreating her body” to reprise her iconic role as Princess Leia and allegedly receiving pressure about her weight for her Star Wars return.

Blunt was at the Hay Festival in Hay-on-Wye, Wales over the weekend discussing his memoir, Loosely Based on a Made-Up Story, when he began to discuss Fisher, a close friend who he’d at one point lived with while writing his smash-hit debut album, 2004’s Back to Bedlam. The singer told the crowd about seeing Fisher the day before her death; she was found unresponsive on a plane, having had a heart attack and died days later on Dec. 27, 2016.

“I was with her the day before she died, when she came down to my house,” Blunt told the crowd. “And she’d been really mistreating her body, and she’d...

Carrie Fisher fell ill in December 2016 after collapsing shortly before her flight from London landed in Los Angeles. The Star Wars icon suffered a cardiac arrest and, after spending four days in intensive care, died at the age of 60 in hospital.

A coroner's report later found that Fisher had cocaine in her system, as well as traces of heroin, other opiates, and Mdma. However, it was unable to determine whether those contributed to her death.

The actress spent years struggling with substance abuse issues and Fisher's close friend and singer James Blunt has claimed Disney and Lucasfilm had put "pressure on her to be thin."

He and Fisher formed an unlikely friendship in the early 2000s and wrote his first album, 2004's "Back to Bedlam," while staying in her house. Following her death, he performed a tribute to the actress which we've embedded below in case you're curious.

Musician James Blunt recently said at the Hay Festival in Wales (via People) that his close friend Carrie Fisher faced tremendous pressure to be thin for “Star Wars” when she reprised her iconic role of Princess Leia in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Fisher previously told Good Housekeeping U.K. in 2015 shortly before “The Force Awakens” opened in theaters that she lost 35 pounds for the movie. She died one year later in December 2016 after going into cardiac arrest while flying from London to Los Angeles.

“She’d been really mistreating her body, and she’d just got the job again of being Princess Leia in a new ‘Star Wars’ movie,” said Blunt at the arts festival, where he was speaking about his memoir, “Loosely Based on a Made-Up Story.”

James Blunt is blaming Disney Star Wars Producers for allegedly contributing to his late friend Carrie Fisher’s death. While discussing his memoir “Loosely Based on a Made-Up Story” at the Hay Festival, the “You’re Beautiful” singer, 50, opened up about his late friend, who portrayed Princess Leia in George Lucas’ Star Wars films.

According to the Independent, James Blunt and Carrie Fisher struck up an unlikely friendship after meeting through mutual friends. The singer even recorded his first album, 2004’s Back to Bedlam, at Fisher’s Los Angeles home, where he stayed for a spell after moving to the States.

While promoting his book, Blunt told the Hay Literature Festival audience Carrie Fisher felt so pressured by the Star Wars bosses to be thin that it compelled her to abuse drugs again, which led to her untimely...

Singer James Blunt claims the pressure put on Carrie Fisher by Star Wars bosses led to her drugs relapse before her death at 60 years old. Blunt was good friends with Fisher for several years, even living with her for a time. Fisher's daughter reportedly blamed James Blunt for her mother's death due to his method of "helping" with her drug addictions.

Singer James Blunt has laid the death of Carrie Fisher squarely at the feet of Star Wars bosses, who he says drove her to a drugs relapse through the pressure of her return to the franchise. In a brutally frank exchange with the audience during Hay Literature Festival (via Daily Mail), Blunt did not hold back in calling out the demands on Fisher to thin for her return as Princess Leia as the reason she turned to drugs again, and, ultimately, passed away aged 60 years old.

Released exclusively on Amazon Prime, a Revisionist western miniseries called The English (2022) features an endearing protagonist who's played by famous British actress Emily Blunt. Her character is called Lady Cornelia Locke, a headstrong Englishwoman hellbent on revenge for the untimely death of her son. Co-starring is Chaske Spencer as Sergeant Eli Whipp, also known as Wounded Wolf his Pawnee name in translation.

Both leads perform to absolute perfection, digging deep into the details of the human condition while also sharing a remarkable rapport that flourishes into an all-time great dynamic. In part, this is thanks to showrunner Hugo Blick and his understanding of character development. On top of directing all six episodes, he also penned their original scripts. Some monumental efforts, but from the composer to the cast, everyone attached to The English proved essential to its production.

Unfortunately, their work flew under the general radar of prominence, with most...

The Fall Guy is close to hitting the $150 million global box office milestone, despite being recently released on digital platforms. Despite positive reviews and star power, the movie has underperformed at the box office, possibly due to its high-concept formula and competition. Thanks to its critical acclaim, though, The Fall Guy may find success on streaming platforms, showcasing the changing landscape of box office expectations.

The Fall Guy has neared an important global box office milestone, despite its recent debut on digital platforms. Helmed by stunt performer and Bullet Train director David Leitch, the movie is a reboot of the 1980s TV show of the same name, and follows a stuntman working on his ex-girlfriend's directorial debut action movie, who is drawn into a conspiracy involving the disappearance of the movie's lead actor. The Fall Guy has received positive reviews for its action sequences, stunts, and the performance of its cast,...

The acclaimed Hollywood star Patrick Stewart once reflected on Piers Morgan’s CNN exit after his talk show was canceled. Launched in 2011, Piers Morgan Live featured interviews with politicians, celebrities, and public figures. Despite its three-year tenure, the program struggled to resonate with American primetime audiences, leading to its cancellation in 2014 amidst dwindling viewership.

The talk show host, however, suggested that the American audience was simply not interested in a British guy discussing the polarizing issues of their country. Stewart, who took on the role of British newscaster in the sitcom Blunt Talk, shared his thoughts on Morgan’s exit and the show’s cancellation during a 2015 interview.

We're more used to seeing Benny Safdie working behind the camera with brother Josh, but for his first solo film, he's certainly striking out with a fascinating subject. He has Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt (sound the Jungle Cruise reunion klaxon!) starring in The Smashing Machine, about mixed martial arts scrapper Mark Kerr. Studio A24 has released a first look at The Rock in the lead role, which you can find in full below…

Kerr was a two time Ultimate Fighting Championship Heavyweight Tournament Champion and World Vale Tudo Championship tournament winner. Over the course of his career, he won over two dozen Mma titles, while also struggling with addiction and his marriage even as he became an icon of the sport.

At 52 years of age, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, boasts of a mega-successful career spanning wrestling, acting, and various businesses. Starting off his acting career in 2001 with The Mummy Returns, the actor has ever since starred as the lead in various franchises and become the face of the action-combat genre. Additionally, among the many actors who have made such a transition from the WWE rings to the acting scene like Dave Bautista and John Cena, the Black Adam actor still commands a broader range.

In the latest leap, he intends to move much ahead in terms of acting prowess. Signed on to a biographical drama on the life of martial artist Mark Kerr, The Smashing Machine, the star just made a gargantuan move in transforming himself for a role, as evident from the just-released first looks. However, his intentions lie even bigger.

Emily Blunt describing not having had a superhero role as a "badge of honor" means she may never appear in the MCU. Blunt was set to be the McU's Black Widow, but instead was occupied with other acting obligations. Blunt's MCU future is decidedly uncertain, but potential roles like Emma Frost or an alternate universe version of Sue Storm remain open.

Emily Blunt's comments about her lack of superhero role being a "badge of honor" means her missed role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may never end up capitalized on down the line. Blunt being the original choice for the McU's Black Widow - only to have to pass up the role because of conflicting acting commitments for the 2010 Guilliver's Travel movie - is a well-established point of Phase 1's early Marvel movie history. However, this didn't kill the flame of hope for many MCU viewers, who would go on...

After a short run in theaters, The Fall Guy is now available to purchase on Digital HD with a never-before-seen Extended Cut that features an addiitonal 20 minutes of action-packed new footage from the David Leitch-directed actioner, which stars 3x Academy Award-nominee Ryan Gosling (The Nice Guys; Blade Runner 2049; La La Land) and Academy Award-nominee Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow; The Devil Wears Prada; The Adjustment Bureau) in the lead roles.

The Fall Guy was one of the best received movies of the year, boasting an 82% Certified Fresh rating and an 87% Audience Score on review aggregator RottenTomatoes. However, the warm word of mouth didn't exactly translate to box office success as, to date, it has only grossed over $127.4 million worldwide on its estimated $150 million production budget, likely resulting in Universal fast tracking the film's digital launch.

In addition to Gosling and Blunt, the impressive supporting cast features Aaron Taylor-Johnson,...

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is doing something different for “The Smashing Machine.” The mixed martial arts biopic is the first film that could get the blockbuster action star some awards attention. And a first-look photo from the film reveals that Johnson looks different than usual.

Studio A24 released the photo on X. It shows Johnson in character as Mark Kerr, a wrestler and Mma fighter. Johnson appears to have some facial prosthetics, his characteristic tattoos are covered up, and his usually bald head sports a wig. He looks a lot like he did when he emerged as a pro wrestling star in the late ‘90s.

Taylor Sheridanʼs saga of nightmarish terror on the borders that reverberated through the screens across the globe in Emily Bluntʼs 2015 blockbuster, Sicario, had a much greater war on sexism and misogyny raging in the backdrop. While the narrative on the drug war and the violence associated with it found a voice onscreen, the same cannot be said about the directorʼs war against the studio execs to make his vision of a dream cast come true.

Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? For the last decade-plus (at least post-Pain & Gain), Dwayne Johnson has been serving up four-quadrant blockbuster slop. Thankfully, he seems to be turning a new direction for The Smashing Machine, which marks the solo directorial feature debut for Benny Safdie after parting ways with his brother Josh Safdie, who’ll be going on to make his forthcoming Adam Sandler-led movie about the baseball trading card industry.

As for The Smashing Machine, with A24 kicking off production recently the first image has now dropped. The film, which marks a Jungle Cruise reunion for Johnson and Emily Blunt, captures the story of legendary Mma fighter Mark Kerr, who was afflicted with addiction and a rocky marriage with Dawn Staples (Blunt).

Dwayne Johnson is nearly unrecognizable in the first look at his upcoming A24 drama “The Smashing Machine,” directed by Benny Safdie and co-starring his “Jungle Cruise” screen partner Emily Blunt. The film casts Johnson as legendary Mma fighter Mark Kerr, who struggled with addiction and his marriage while becoming an icon of the sport. Blunt is starring as Dawn Staples, Kerr’s wife. The film is currently in production.

While Johnson looks typically ripped as Kerr in “The Smashing Machine” first look, he also appears to be sporting some facial prosthetics to help him transform into the Mma legend. Kerr was a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion and World Vale Tudo Championship tournament winner. Over the course of his career, he won over two dozen Mma titles.

As many of you may know, Emily Blunt was nearly cast as Black Widow in ‘Iron Man 2.’ However, she had to decline the role due to contractual obligations for ‘Gulliver’s Travels.’

Superhero movies have a polarizing reputation in Hollywood. Some established directors and actors mock them, while others credit them with revitalizing their careers. For instance, Robert Downey Jr.’s career was rejuvenated with ‘Iron Man,’ and Tom Holland soared to stardom with ‘Spider-Man.’

During the promotion of their latest film ‘Fall Guy,’ Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling delved into the subject of superhero movies. Gosling’s revelation that he aspired to portray MCU’s Ghost Rider surprised Blunt.

Both actors expressed pride in not having appeared in a superhero movie thus far, a sentiment Blunt openly reiterated. However, it appears Gosling may have had a change of heart in the meantime.

Emily Blunt as some of you know, was almost cast as Black Widow in ‘Iron Man 2’ but she had to pass on the opportunity to play the character due to her contractual obligations to do ‘Gulliver’s Travels.’

As we all know, superhero movies have quite a polarizing reputation in Hollywood, with some established directors and actors mocking them, while others owning their careers to them, as was the case with MCU’s Robert Downey Jr. whose career was revived with ‘Iron Man’ and Tom Holland, who was launched into stardom via ‘Spider-Man.’

Recently, while promoting their latest movie ‘Fall Guy’ Emily Blut and Ryan Gosling touched upon the topic of superhero movies, Ryan Gosling stated previously that he would like to play MCU’s Ghost Rider which left Blunt shocked.

Apparently, the two were proud of not being in a superhero movie so far, which is something that Blunt had no problems stating,...

Ryan Gosling has been making waves since last year, all due to his summer blockbuster, Barbie, creating a global phenomenon. The actor is back with Oppenheimer actress, Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy which will surely make you laugh. But, the movie is miserably failing in one aspect that Chris Pratt’s The Garfield Movie has almost covered way before its release in the United States.

Emily Blunt makes it clear where she stands on not being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a recent episode of Happy, Sad, Confused, Blunt and her co-star Ryan Gosling were talking about the superhero genre, as the latter still wants to join the MCU as Ghost Rider. While Gosling is still game to jump into the comic book movie genre, Blunt calls it a "badge of honor" to have not appeared in a superhero film, stating:

Ryan Gosling is unarguably one of the best actors in the entire global entertainment industry, perfect with his charismatic personality, which has established him as one of the greatest heartthrobs of all time. But that isn’t all, because he is also quite literally the ultimate Prince of Hollywood — and, for the record, it’s not just for all those fan-girlies swooning about him out there.

In fact, he has proven to be a Knight in Shining Armour to not only his wife and mother of his two kids, Eva Mendes, but also to pretty much all of his female co-stars and crew members he has worked with to date. If anything, Gosling has indeed raised the bar incredibly higher than ever before by his chivalry with nearly all the females he has worked with until now.

The Office's most heartwarming moment, featuring John Krasinski's Jim and Jenna Fischer's Pam, was Emily Blunt's idea. The moment comes in the two-part episode "A.A.R.M.," where Jim attempts to convince Pam of his continued devotion to her by having the documentary crew put together a DVD featuring a clip collection from the series showing off their blossoming romance from inception.

Per Slashfilm, in a recent The Office Ladies podcast episode hosted by Fischer and Angela Kinsey with Krasinski present, the former recalled pitching The Office creator and showrunner Greg Daniels how Jim and Pam could finally resolve their complications in the final seasons. Fischer could not quite crack how it would happen until a Blunt-inspired Krasinski came to the rescue.

Emily Blunt was last seen in the action comedy The Fall Guy, in which she starred opposite Ryan Gosling. The film satirically depicted many of the behind-the-scenes incidents that occur on the sets of large-scale blockbuster films of the present day. Blunt played the role of a director who was helming an epic sci-fi fantasy in the film.

Though diverse, Blunt’s filmography is lacking in the superhero genre. While the actress has been in musicals and adventure films, she has yet to don a costume, which she revealed in a recent interview that she wears as a badge of honor. However, Blunt was almost cast as Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and had to give up on the opportunity due to contractual obligations.

Emily Blunt has been one of the most prolific actresses working in Hollywood right now.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is something Ryan Gosling would love to be a part of, even though he has not starred in any superhero flicks yet. Not only that, but he already knows the character he would most like to play.

The 43-year-old star of Barbie and The Fall Guy recently expressed his staunch interest in playing Johnny Blaze in a future Ghost Rider project, a role played by Nicolas Cage in MCU flicks. Having said that, during a chat with Happy Sad Confused’s Josh Horowitz, Gosling dropped the bombshell that he would be more than willing to don the fiery chains of the iconic anti-hero.

But during the interview, Emily Blunt was so appalled and disappointed by her co-star’s abrupt change of heart regarding doing a superhero flick. But note that, as of right now, there is still no...

It's no secret that Ryan Gosling wants to play the fiery anti-hero Ghost Rider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Two years have past since Josh Horowitz went to bat for Gosling about joining the MCU, but the actor still hasn't heard anything from the President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige. Regardless, Gosling says he'd still portray Ghost Rider in a brand-new interview. However, Gosling has also made it clear that he is trying to avoid roles that take him to a "dark place."

I told Josh Id like to play Ghost Rider, actor Ryan Gosling says in a new interview posted on X this morning. Well, after the revelation, Emily Blunt sitting right next to Gosling called her co-star from The Fall Guy a turncoat. Please keep the context in mind, as Blunt and Ryan Gosling spoke, and laughed a lot, with the host of the Happy Sad Confused podcast...

My favorite scene in the hilarious new film “The Fall Guy” is the one where Emily Blunt (recent Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee for “Oppenheimer”) belts out the Phil Collins classic “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” as Ryan Gosling (recent Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee for “Barbie”) finds himself in a particularly dramatic — and dangerous — sequence of events.

As Blunt sang with all her heart, I couldn’t help but think of how perfect the timing was.

Forty years ago this very month, the famous power ballad had just completed a three-week reign on top of the Billboard Hot 100. “Against All Odds” was the title song from the romantic thriller starring Jeff Bridges, Rachel Ward and James Woods. The Taylor Hackford-directed movie was met with solid reviews and healthy ticket sales. But its most notable success was Collins’s song, which quickly took the Billboard chart by storm.

The idea of Marvel bringing the Ghost Rider back to the big screen after Nicolas Cage left it back in 2011 has been brewing for a long, long time. Cage himself was pretty interested in coming back to play the King of Hell again, but that didn’t pan out. Since then, fans have been putting forward names of their faves to play the role, with Keanu Reeves and Ryan Gosling being two of the more popular choices.

The Ken actor himself bought him into the mix when he previously said that he would like to play Ghost Rider. Even Kevin Feige seems to have given a positive response to Ryan Gosling expressing his interest in dabbling in the superhero genre. But has things gotten any further since then?

Wives know best.

John Krasinski’s wife, Emily Blunt, came up with the idea for a memorable golden moment between Jim Halpert (Krasinski) and Pam Beesley on The Office.

On the May 15 episode of the Office Ladies podcast, Jenna Fischer (aka Pam) revealed that Blunt was behind the idea that resulted in Jim surprising Pam with footage from the documentary team of their relationship.

Fischer reminded Krasinski that he was the one to pitch the idea that would “bring [Jim and Pam] back together” as the show closed out.

“I remember saying, ‘Greg [Daniels], we have to reveal what is in the teapot note before we end this show. People need to know this, but how do you do that?’ We couldn’t figure it out,” Fischer recalled.

“And I remember, clear as day, John, we were in the break room for some reason, and it was a Monday and you came in...

Many would likely agree with Eva Mendes’ sentiment that Emily Blunt really is “just that damn good” in The Fall Guy.

The actress and businesswoman took to Instagram on Thursday to praise husband Ryan Gosling’s latest film. She shared the movie’s poster, which features Blunt and Gosling kissing, as well as some fans’ tweets about the action-packed romantic comedy.

“Did you know?! @thefallguymovie is the First non super hero movie to open the summer box office in 17 years!” Mendes wrote in the caption. “And maybe it didn’t break the box office but it broke sooo many other records. I’m extra proud of this one.”

The Place Beyond the Pines actress, who shares two daughters with Gosling, went on to jokingly explain why she was Ok with her husband kissing his co-star and onscreen love interest Blunt in the movie.

“The proof is in my post-i don...

Emily Blunt doesn’t want any mathematical equation to dictate what films get made.

The “Fall Guy” actress said during an interview with Vanity Fair Italy that she hates the “fucking word” algorithm because it does not encompass the “art” form of cinema.

“Some new things frustrate me: algorithms, for example,” Blunt said. “I hate that fucking word, excuse the expletive! How can it be associated with art and content? How can we let it determine what will be successful and what will not?”

Blunt pointed to Best Picture winner “Oppenheimer” as a film that on paper wouldn’t seem like a box office blockbuster.

“Let me explain with an example,” she said. “I was in a three-hour film about a physicist, which had the that impact it had – the algorithms probably wouldn’t have grasped it. My hope is that ‘Oppenheimer’ and similar projects are not considered anomalies, that...

The Fall Guy star Ryan Gosling claims he didn't realize how much he was afraid of heights until midway through filming a stunt scene in the critically acclaimed action comedy. The Oscar-nominated actor admits his "body turns to stone" when he's too high above the ground.

Speaking with Wall Street Journal Magazine, Gosling recalled one scene during principal photography which made him realize how much of a physical toll he was undertaking for The Fall Guy. The scene in question saw Gosling drop from a ledge into an atrium, causing him to freeze in fear given the high risk. My body turns to stone, he said. I think its happened when I had kids really, you start to be way more conscious of everything you do and everything youve ever done and everything you will do if you get a chance to do it. He also admitted filming from such...

John Krasinski planned a large portion of his new movie If around longtime friend Steve Carell — before he had spoken to his former The Office co-star about the role.

At If‘s New York premiere on Monday, Krasinski gestured to wife Emily Blunt — who has a voice role in the new film — and revealed, “The last time I wrote a part for someone was for her in A Quiet Place and I was too nervous to tell her about it, and the same thing happened with Steve.”

“I was writing [animated character] Blue to be Steve because of his sense of humor and how sweet he is, and how incredibly vulnerable and also how big and open-hearted he is and he gives great hugs,” he continued. “So I was like, ‘If he doesn’t do this, we’re in trouble.’ And as soon as he said yes, it was like a family...

Barbie star and the the internet’s darling, Ryan Gosling, along with his arch-nemesis of the box office, Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt, joined forces to bring a new flavor to the theaters recently with their latest flick The Fall Guy. Yet, to everyone’s disappointment, the audience failed to embrace it. Despite its ingenuity, the film fell short and is now aiming to end its theatrical run, barely scraping above its production costs.

This setback left Gosling disheartened once more, reminiscent of the time when The Nice Guys took a similar plunge eight years ago. Seems like audiences just don’t appreciate good cinema anymore!

In early May, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt hand in hand brought a breath of fresh air to cinemas with their latest movie, The Fall Guy.
