Robert Pattinson played a central role in Christopher Nolan‘s decision to pursue one of this summer’s biggest movies – Oppenheimer.

We’re weeks away from Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie hitting theaters, but fans of the iconic doll almost got a very different take on the story from Diablo Cody.

May God loose a judge, may God loose a Holy judgment.

Cillian Murphy missed out on a key opportunity to bond with his castmates while not filming their new movie Oppenheimer.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Emily Blunt told People magazine that starring in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” was like “summer camp” because the film’s ensemble cast lived together in New Mexico during production. However, it appears that leading man Cillian Murphy sat out most group activities. “We were all in the same hotel in the middle of the New Mexican desert,” Blunt said. “We only had each other. Me and Matt [Damon] were roommates and we were like, ‘Let’s go to have dinner.'” Murphy did not attend because “the sheer volume of what he had to take on and shoulder is so monumental,” Blunt added.

For a month with at least three major blockbuster releases, July also has plenty of highly anticipated indie releases, many of which made their premieres earlier in the year at film festivals.

Ryan Gosling might be “just Ken” in the forthcoming Barbie movie, but he’s so much more than that to longtime love Eva Mendes.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Of all the impressive skills Barbie has amassed in her 64 years as a working doll, who knew that cartography would be a focal point of her highly anticipated summer movie debut? But here we are. Trailers for the upcoming “Barbie,” from director Greta Gerwig and Warner Bros. Pictures, have led to the dissemination of a controversial map used in the film – one depicted in a scene with stars Margot Robbie and Kate McKinnon (known in the film as “Weird Barbie”) — and the studio is speaking up after days of international headlines. “The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing,” a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group told Variety. “The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”

Tom Cruise turned 61 on Monday, but no one would know it from all the physically demanded stunts he does in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.” And if the actor has his way, he’ll keep doing stunts like that for another couple of decades, like Harrison Ford in the “Indiana Jones” franchise.

Tom Cruise has no plans to stop taking on impossible missions. The actor is looking to Harrison Ford and his recent role in as his goal for the future.Cruise celebrated his 61st birthday on July 3 by attending a premiere of at Darling Harbour’s International Convention Center in Sydney, Australia.The action star spoke with The Sydney Morning Herald at the event and admitted he wanted to keep making installments in the long-running franchise until he's at least Ford's age.«Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him,» shared Cruise.

For a month with at least three major blockbuster releases, July also has plenty of highly anticipated indie releases, many of which made their premieres earlier in the year at film festivals. From “Theater Camp” to “Kokomo City,” smaller releases will be fighting for the spotlight as big-budget productions such as the latest in the “Mission Impossible” franchise and, of course, “Barbie” is released.

Tom Cruise has said that he plans to still be making Mission: Impossible films when he’s 80.The 61-year-old action star, who reprises his role as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, said he has no plans to wrap up the franchise just yet.“Harrison Ford is a legend; I hope to be still going. I’ve got 20 years to catch up with him,” Cruise told The Sydney Morning Herald at the film’s Australian premiere, referring to the legendary actor’s role in Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny. “I hope to keep making ‘Mission: Impossible’ films until I’m his age.”The seventh instalment in the Mission franchise, out July 10, has received numerous positive reviews, with critics praising it as an “impeccably made” action film that “does not stop entertaining”.A less positive three-star from NME, however, said that “staggering stunts can’t make up for the nonsensical plot”.It went on: “The problems come when Dead Reckoning tries to be too clever.

banned in Vietnam for apparently featuring a map showing China’s claims to the South China Sea that many say includes the territory of other nations.When asked about the controversy during a press conference on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning was dismissive of Hanoi’s outrage.“China’s position on the South China Sea issue is clear and consistent,” the official said, adding that Vietnam “should not link the South China Sea issue with normal cultural exchange.”The nine-dash line shown on the map represents China’s claim to a vast section of the disputed waters, which are also being fought over by Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan.An international tribunal at The Hague found the Chinese Communist Party’s map illegal. Beijing dismissed the ruling at the time.The map’s inclusion in “Barbie” underscores the growing controversy over Hollywood’s reliance on China, which has rivaled the US for its biggest market in recent years.

all-pink wardrobe — and no Kens are allowed.Dena Daniels has loved the Mattel dolls her whole life and played with them until other children started to bully her for being “too old” for it all.For years she felt she was hiding her “authentic self” by hiding her love of Barbie in order to adhere to societal expectations.“I was concerned about people’s approval and pleasing those around me, especially men,” she told Kennedy News and Media.But the mom-of-two was tired of hiding her love for all things Barbie, so she decided to “live her truth” by “pink-ifying” her home during the summer of 2021.“One day I just woke up and thought, ‘I’m not getting any younger; I want to do what I want to do. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it, I want to be me,'” she admitted.

“Barbie” director Greta Gerwig has a good reason why she chose not to use CGI on Margot Robbie’s feet.

not fantastic. “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig has revealed her refusal to CGI a certain body part of the famous doll in the upcoming film, calling the very idea “terrifying.” “There was a big discussion in the beginning,” Gerwig, 39, told the hosts of Australian talk show “The Project.” “Everyone said, ‘Are you going to CGI all the feet?’ And I thought, ‘Oh god, no! That’s terrifying! That’s a nightmare.’ Also, Margot [Robbie] has the nicest feet. She has these beautiful dancer feet.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Sooner or later, Ethan Hunt will face a mission he really ought not to accept. But for the time being, he remains the one man on earth willing to attempt the impossible without questioning the motives of those who require his services. That’s the deal with America’s most dutiful boy scout, Tom Cruise, who’s carried the billion-dollar “Mission: Impossible” franchise across 27 years without losing steam. Compare that with Indiana Jones, who’s failed to connect with a younger generation, or the Fast and Furious movies, which aren’t running out of gas so much as guzzling the laughing sort. “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” finds Cruise, now in his sixties, still running from one side of a very big, very wide screen to the other as if his life — and the lives of all 8 billion people on earth — depended on it. This is Hunt’s seventh blockbuster outing, with a last franchise-capper set to release next summer, and while it can’t eclipse what came before (“Fallout” was the series high), director Christopher McQuarrie delivers a formidable concept and several hall-of-fame set-pieces while somehow also managing to tie the storylines back into these movies’ core mythology.

Greta Gerwig‘s highly anticipated film Barbie has received as 12A classification rating in the UK.Per an official classification by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the film’s 12A rating means only kids above the age of 12 can watch the movie unaccompanied. Anyone below the age of 12 has to be accompanied by an adult.Reasons for the film’s 12A classification are the film’s supposed use of “moderate innuendo”, “brief sexual harassment”, “violence”, “dangerous behaviour” and more.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Authorities in The Philippines are weighing a decision on whether to follow the lead taken by Vietnam and ban Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie. Vietnam on Monday announced that it will bar the film’s commercial release due to the movie’s depiction of a map that depicts the “nine dash line,” a disputed representation of China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. The Philippines, like Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia, have competing claims in the South China Sea and strongly refute China’s claim to nearly the entire maritime region. “If the invalidated 9-dash line was indeed depicted in the movie ‘Barbie,’ then it is incumbent upon the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to ban the same as it denigrates Philippine sovereignty,” said Philippines Senator Francis Tolentino, vice chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, according to local media reports.

Margot Robbie is a native of Australia, but that didn’t prevent her from forgetting that the title of her new movie has a very different meaning Down Under.

Communist party?Senator Ted Cruz unleashed boxed-up anger at the upcoming “Barbie” movie for including what his office called Chinese communist propaganda in the anticipated summer blockbuster, out July 21.The Margot Robbie-starring film came under fire for its pro-China, on-screen representation of islands in the South China Sea that are disputed — and have been the subject of two separate military campaigns in 1974 and 1988 — between both Vietnam and China.In 2016, a United Nations court ruled that China’s claim to the regions had no basis in international law.

Tom Cruise still makes time to go to the theatre despite being one of the most famous faces in Hollywood.

Barbie because the film includes the “nine dash line map” that depicts islands in the South China Sea as being controlled by Beijing.Vi Kien Thanh, director general of the Vietnam Cinema Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, announced that Barbie will not be allowed to commercially screen in the nation, as ruled by the National Film Evaluation Council.“We do not grant license for the American movie ‘Barbie’ to release in Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line,” the state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper stated, citing Thanh (via Variety).The move follows Vietnam banning previous films including Uncharted and Abominable over the same issue.In 2016 the UN ruled unanimously against the validity of the “nine dash line” map, however China responded by saying that it doesn’t recognise the UN’s decision.Meanwhile, in other recent Barbie news, Margot Robbie has revealed the one request she made to director Greta Gerwig before filming the new movie.Set for release on July 21, Gerwig’s film stars Robbie in the titular role, with Ryan Gosling as Ken.Speaking about the film in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Robbie discussed how she fell in love with the character as a child when she was gifted a Barbie Dreamhouse for Christmas.Such was the impact the gift had on her, that she revealed she asked Gerwig to allow her to live out the real-life fantasy of the Dreamhouse in the film.“I’ll follow your vision.
