Actor Sean Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) has taken to Twitter to correct a now-removed interview he did with The Hollywood Reporter while standing on the Netflix picket line. The interview revolved around his role as Kirk on the show “Gilmore Girls,” which is currently streaming on Netflix. And the compensation, or lack thereof, he received from the streamer. After sharing a video of the interview with Gunn, THR removed it. “…because it did not note that the residuals Gunn was referencing are paid by the studio [Warner Bros. Discovery] and not the streamer, Netflix,” THR explained in a follow-up…

Back in 2013, Netflix was dipping its toe into the waters of streaming content. The company started out with two flagship series, “House of Cards,” followed by “Orange is the New Black.”  Some of the cast of Netflix’s mega-hit series “OITNB” claims they were never ‘fairly compensated.’ The series centers around a wealthy, normally law-abiding woman Piper (Taylor Schilling) going to prison. It was revered not only for its diverse, mostly female cast, but its exploration of the American prison system. The Emmy-winning series became a phenomenon that showed Netflix could compete with cable.  With all the benefits the streamer…

The legal battle between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global over streaming rights to “South Park” doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Warner Bros. Discovery has filed to have Paramount’s partial motion to dismiss the case tossed out of court. Paramount along with show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, were seeking to disperse the $200 million lawsuit all together. “Defendants’ Motion has the dubious distinction of trying to downplay while simultaneously highlighting the very misconduct which forced Plaintiff to file this suit,” a statement from Warner Bros. Discovery reads. “The reality is that Defendant South Park Digital Studios agreed…

Disney’s third “Tron” film has officially added “Yellowjackets” star Sarah Desjardins to the cast. The movie will be directed by Joachim Rønning (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”), from a script by Jack Thorne (“His Dark Materials”) and Jesse Wigutow (“The Prince”). This will be the third addition to the classic Disney film series that started in 1982.  The previous installments focused mostly on the game’s world itself. “Tron” (1982) centered around video game designer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) entering his own digital creation. The sequel “Tron: Legacy” (2010) focused on his son Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund)…

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back with the first clip from the upcoming feature “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” Based on an 80s comic book of the same name, the turtles have already been adapted into animated, live-action, and CGI properties. Always while retaining their goofy senses of slapstick humor. The turtles are voiced by actors Micah Abbey (Donatello), Shamon Brown Jr. (Michaelangelo), Nicolas Cantu ( Leonardo), and Brady Noon (Raphael). With Jackie Chan voicing Master Splinter, Paul Rudd will play Mondo Gecko, Post Malone will play Ray Fillet, Giancarlo Esposito will play Baxter Stockman, Rose Byrne will…

One of the many legitimate reasons SAG-AFTRA is striking is due to the AMPTP demanding actors allow productions to do ‘full body scans of performers.’ It’s not just the scans, it’s the fact that actors would only be paid a day’s wages to be scanned. Those results would then be the property of the production, “for the rest of eternity,” with the actor never receiving compensation for uses of their likeness. SAG President Fran Drescher and National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland addressed the public in a rousing press conference yesterday, announcing the strike. They touched on this scanning…

Production company Optomen (“Johnny vs Amber,” “Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce”) are at it again. The next documentary in their vs. series will be “Gwyneth vs Terry: The Ski Crash Trial” for Discovery+ U.K.. It will focus on Oscar winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s skiing accident trial with retired optometrist Terry Sanders. In 2016, Paltrow and Sanders collided on a slope at a Utah ski resort. When the two tumbled, Sanderson broke four ribs and sustained a concussion. He originally filed a $3.1 million lawsuit against the actress, but the suit was dismissed. He then filed an amended complaint for around…

The “Barbie” movie hype train just keeps gaining momentum. In the film’s latest tease, star Ryan Gosling absolutely nails a music video for power ballad “Just Ken.” The song for the Greta Gerwig-directed film has Gosling belting out “I’m Just Ken.” This single focuses on a lovelorn Ken who is tired of always being second banana to Barbie (Margot Robbie). This leads to him contemplating what his life really means and what it would be like without her. The music video mostly consists of shirtless and crying Gosling singing, spliced in with footage from the movie. “Just Ken” is the…

Professional surfer Sarah Brady has claimed she suffered emotional abuse at the hands of her now ex, Jonah Hill. Brady, who dated actor/director Jonah Hill (“You People”) from 2021 until 2022, posted screenshots of texts allegedly sent to her by Hill. The texts show an alarming amount of controlling behavior, and these images have ignited internet debates about boundaries and weaponizing therapy lingo.  While Instagram stories disappear after 24 hours, there is no shortage of screenshots from the post floating around. These messages were all allegedly sent by Hill during his relationship with Brady, while they were in couple’s counselling.…
