Sophia Scorziello editor In the opening of Tina and Ike Turner’s rendition of Creedance Clearwater’s “Proud Mary,” Tina gives a disclaimer to the audience: “Every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us nice and easy, but there’s just one thing, you see: we never ever do nothing nice and easy.” When Angela Bassett took on the task of portraying Turner in 1993 for “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” she took that to heart. In the 30 days between landing the role and the first day of shooting, Bassett worked 16-hour days, exercising each morning before learning dance numbers with Turner and choreographer Michael Peters. Bassett also worked with her co-star Laurence Fishburne to act scenes depicting the violence and domestic abuse that Tina endured through her marriage. It was anything but nice and easy.

Pedro Pascal has been a fan-favorite star for years, however, his breakthrough role in  almost took its toll!During a recent edition of 's Actor Roundtable Pascal participated in — alongside Kieran Culkin, Jeff Bridges, Michael Imperioli, Evan Peters and Damson Idris — moderator Lacey Rose asked the group about their typical or most memorable interactions with fans.Damson said how many people joke that he's «their husband,» while Culkin explained how people seem to feel very comfortable putting their arms around him, or grabbing and touching him. For Pascal, the interactions he remembers were decidedly more weird.«I remember, earlier on, because of  and the way my character died — speaking of touching — people were super into taking selfies with their thumbs in my eyes,» he joked, referring to how hischaracter, Oberyn Martell, was killed in a fight to the death with Gregor «The Mountain» Clegane, who crushed his skull with his hands after gouging out his eyes.«Wow, that’s a lot of trust,» Culkin joked.«At first, I was so earnest and happy about the success of the character in the show, I’d let them!» Pascal admitted. «And then I remember getting a bit of an eye infection.»Thus, the chances of getting to pretend to gouge out his eyes for a fun photo op seem slim for fans in the future.During the lengthy and candid conversation, Pascal was also asked about the «daddy narrative» that has developed around him in the public consciousness, and he laughingly admitted, «Yeah, I am having fun with it.»«It seems a little role-related.

Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian.In a roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said that he used to perform under the armour towards the beginning of the series. However, for the show’s most recent seasons, he only provided the voice for Din Djarin, with stuntment and body doubles appearing as the bounty hunter on set.“There was an extended amount of experimentation, being in the suit for a lot of it, and frankly, my body wasn’t up for the task as far as, like, the four months of it,” Pascal shared.“But I was in it.

Kieran Culkin and Pedro Pascal were some of the actors present at the Drama Actors Roundtable. The two played some of this year’s most prominent roles on television, with Culkin starring in “Succession” and Pascal starring in “The Last of Us.” The Actors Roundtable, hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, reunites actors on a yearly basis for some questions and a discussion of their most recent and acclaimed roles. Culkin took over the interview for a bit, asking Pascal some questions, including whether Pascal would like to be his daddy.

Pedro Pascal was noticeably absent at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. The Chilean actor is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and the world is captivated by his every move.

told the Hollywood Reporter. “[The daddy thing] seems a little role-related. There was a period where the Mandalorian is very daddy to baby Grogu, and Joel is very daddy to Ellie [in ‘The Last of Us’].”Pascal, 48, has experienced a meteoric rise recently. Although he initially rose to fame in 2014 playing the ill-fated swaggering bisexual prince Oberyn on “Game of Thrones” during the show’s fourth season, his spotlight has increased more recently.

Pedro Pascal has had a long and impressive career in films and television. The beloved actor has had roles in many huge projects such as “The Mandalorian,” “Narcos,” “Game of Thrones,” and “The Last Of Us.” He’s also had brief roles in shows such as “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Law & Order” and more.

Jeff Bridges is thankful his wife Susan Bridges encouraged him to go to the doctor when he told her he felt like he had a bone in his stomach while doing exercise.

Barry Keoghan is no longer in talks to join the highly anticipated Gladiator sequel. However, another actor from a fan-favorite television series has reportedly already stepped up to fill the role.

Cannes Film Festival was bursting with powerful auteurs debuting new work and a bevy of titles being prepped for acquisition. From Pedro Almodóvar to Steve McQueen, festival attendees were flush for choice on what to watch — this despite reports that issues with tickets were still happening.

previously on the Dua Lipa podcast, the filmmaker stated that “it’s a queer Western, in the sense that there are two men and they love each other. It’s about masculinity in a deep sense because the Western is a male genre.” He continued, in sentiments that echoed his post-screening conversation on Wednesday, “What I can tell you about the film is that it has a lot of the elements of the Western.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Every time two cowboys point their guns at one another on screen, there’s something homoerotic at play. Hollywood Westerns may be loath to admit as much, but not so Pedro Almodóvar, who casts Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal as lonesome cowboys reunited after 25 years in “Strange Way of Life.” Commissioned by Saint Laurent Productions (which is also premiering a Jean-Luc Godard short at Cannes), this half-baked half-hour serves as a sexy showcase for creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s latest designs, while barely delivering on the promise that an Almodóvar-made “gay cowboy” movie conjures in the imagination. At the Cannes premiere, the Spanish director described “Strange” as his response to a question posed by “Brokeback Mountain”: What can two men do on a ranch? Silva (Pascal) gives Jake (Hawke) his answer in the final seconds of the short, and it’s sweet, though it turns out Almodóvar is misremembering Ang Lee’s 2005 Western. The scene he’s thinking of is probably the one where Heath Ledger’s character tells Jake Gyllenhaal how his father made a point of showing him an old rancher’s corpse, gay-bashed with a tire iron and then “drug … around by his dick.” With an image like that in their minds, no wonder the couple decide to keep their forbidden love on the down low.

Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar rode into the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday with his short film Strange Way Of Life, pushing boundaries for LGBT representation in the Western genre.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Nine more minutes of footage would take Pedro Almodóvar’s film “Strange Way of Life” from a live action short frontrunner to a best picture contender. To be eligible for the Academy Awards’ best picture category, a film must have a minimum 40-minute runtime. Almodóvar’s movie runs 31 minutes. With those extra nine minutes, we could also highlight the worthiness of actors Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal and the project’s artisan categories. But for his second English language endeavor, coming three years after “The Human Voice” with Tilda Swinton, the Spanish auteur’s sensibilities are never lacking. His new Spanish Western stands proudly next to some of his most audacious movies such as “Talk to Her” and “Volver.”

The great Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar is a rabid fan of the western genre but until now had never made one, and also has only dabbled in directing any english language film with the exception of the 2020 short, The Human Voice that starred Tilda Swinton. His latest movie is also a short, just 31 minutes, but he finally got to do his western in english, and it is a nice homage to the form and those great directors who made it that way, one it is safe to say could only have come from this master of cinema, and a true cineaste himself. Almodovar brought the finished product to its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival today and, if flattered by the attention, the ghosts of John Ford, Howard Hawks, John Sturges, Anthony Mann, Raoul Walsh , and Sam Peckinpah may be surprised at the twist in Strange Way Of Life that this 73 year old fanboy has given it.
