OHMYGOSSIP — Jonah Hill clashed with Christopher Mintz-Plasse on set of ‘Superbad’.
The 33-year-old actor, who portrayed Seth in the 2007 comedy movie, has admitted him and his 28-year-old co-star did not get on well as his colleague, who played the role of Fogell in the production, “immediately shut [him] down” and refused to let Jonah speak during filming.
Speaking about the difficulty he faced working on the production, Jonah said: “Chris just immediately shut me down.
“So combative. I was really annoyed because this guy wouldn’t let me say anything.”
And the pair’s fraught relationship was obvious to the rest of the cast, including Seth Rogen, who played Officer Michaels, as well as Michael Cera, who portrayed Evan.
The 35-year-old Rogen said: “Jonah f***ing hated [Mintz-Plasse]”.
The ‘Sausage Party’ funny man has revealed Christopher was “completely disrespectful” of Hill, which he thinks is because of his “lack of experience”.
Seth continued: “He was all over Jonah’s lines, completely disrespectful of the process, probably due to a lack of experience.”
The ‘Juno’ star has revealed Jonah was left “shaken up” after working with Christopher and appeared to look uneasy in his presence.
Michael added: “When [Chris] left, I remember Jonah being shaken up.”
But Jonah’s discomfort around Christopher only fed Michael and Seth’s desire to have the dark-haired comedian on board the production.
Seth explained: “I remember he walked out of the room and Jonah was like, ‘Not that guy.’ And we were just like, ‘Oh my god, you don’t understand how much more that makes us want him’.”
And producer Judd Apatow was also adamant the California-born star was going to be hired for the project.
The creative mastermind said: “I looked at [director Greg Mottola] and said, ‘We have to hire him.'”
Despite the bitterness between the two, the rest of the team tried to “encourage everyone to contribute” to the production to ensure there was a “joint ownership” on the production.
Michael explained to The Ringer Online: “It was a really easy set to be on. It felt like Greg and Evan and Seth and Judd really wanted to encourage everyone to contribute in any way that we wanted. There was no judgment. And I felt really part of a team. It’s not always like that, to feel like you have a kind of joint ownership over what you’re doing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Noomi Rapace doesn’t want to be defined by her gender or body.
The 37-year-old actress has portrayed a number of strong women on screen such as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw in ‘Prometheus’ and as Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish adaptation of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’, but Rapace thinks it’s “medieval” to be defined by her sex.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, she said: “Since I started working, I didn’t want to be defined by my sex or body. Why would I? It’s very medieval. When I have a costume fitting or makeup session, it’s like, ‘No, I don’t want to have full makeup in the end of the film if I’ve been trying to survive for 72 hours.’ I’ve been f***ed up, of course I wouldn’t look perfect; I’d be a mess! And all these voices around me are saying, ‘No, we think you look a little bit too rough.’ ”
Noomi also admitted from a young age she made a decision not to pick any roles offered to her based on her looks.
She said: “Being an actress is a world of possibilities. If I corner myself by saying I need to look a certain way, I lose that freedom. I saw this film I did when I was 22 and I was like, ‘Holy…’ I hate what I looked like. And then I said, ‘Noomi, if you’re going to be an actress, it can’t be about what you look like. It needs to be about what’s going on inside you.’ ”
Noomi can currently be seen starring as a set of septuplet sisters in the Netflix sci-fi movie ‘What Happened to Monday’ and she admits that it was “extremely difficult” to portray to so many different people.
She said: “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done: a very long shoot, technically, extremely difficult. It took over my life for five months. But I got to play seven completely different personalities. I didn’t want them to fall into cliches or caricatures: the shy one, the tomboy one, the cute one. So I had different perfumes and playlists for each. When I was changing from one to the other I’d wash off, take the wig off, take the smell off, put on the new smell, the new soundtrack. It was like a ritual.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tim Curry still gets recognised as evil clown Pennywise in the TV adaptation of ‘IT’.
The 71-year-old actor starred as the child-killing monster in the 1990 TV mini-series version of Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel and despite his many memorable roles Curry is consistently approached by fans of his terrifying alter ego.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, the English star – who played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in cult classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ – said: “I went out to dinner the other night, and I’m currently in a wheelchair because I had a stroke five years ago. And a guy saw me and stood up and said, ‘I’ve seen the original Pennywise!’ And I said, ‘Well, good for you!’ ”
This year will see the release of a new movie adaptation of the book starring ‘Allegiant’ star Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise, with his performance widely praised by those few who have seen early screenings of the horror.
Director Andy Muschietti has revealed that Skarsgard in character terrified his young co-stars on set and Curry he very much frightened Tony Dakota, who played Georgie, during his shoot.
He said: “There’s a classic scene where little Georgie floats his paper boat down the gutter and puts his hand down to try and get it back, and is grabbed by Pennywise, who says, ‘Down here we float…’
“The boy playing Georgie yanked his hand away and said, ‘You’re scaring me,’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m supposed to.’ ”
Although Curry thought the script was “wonderfully scary”, he admitted he was disappointed by the ending when his mysterious alter ego turned into a “rather unconvincing spider”.
He said: “I read it when I got the role and I thought it was wonderfully scary, because clowns are scary. Pennywise always understood what each character was scared of, and provided it. And I could see what fun it would be to be that scary. They came up with great makeup.
“I was very disappointed by the ending, when I turned into a rather unconvincing spider.”
‘IT’ is set to be released on September 8.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 48-year-old actor is in final negotiations to add his name to the already impressive cast.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ludi Lin has teased that the ‘Aquaman’ movie is going to be like an “underwater” ‘Star Wars’.
The Chinese actor – who recently starred as the Black Ranger in the ‘Power Rangers’ big screen adventure – has been cast to play Murk in the upcoming DC Extended Universe superhero alongside ‘Game of Thrones’ star Jason Momoa who takes on the titular role as superhero Arthur Curry.
Lin insists fans of comic movies are in for a surprise because unlike the DCEU titles and the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbusters ‘Aquaman’ takes place in a world like no other, because it is mainly set in the undersea nation Atlantis.
James Wan told the cast to imagine it as a self-contained universe much like the world that George Lucas created in his sci-fi space saga.
Speaking to Canadian station Kiss Radio on Wednesday (30.08.17), Lin said: “The thing is, there is so much about ‘Aquaman’ that I have seen so far in filming. There’s so much to this film. The difference between ‘Aquaman’ and the other superheroes in the DC Universe, is that it exists almost in a different world. James Wan, our director, is amazing. He’s described his vision as “‘Star Wars’ underwater” because it is. All the physics are different, their weapons are different, the characters are very unique. It’s just super-cool.”
Lin’s character Murk in the DC comics is the leader of the frontline army of Atlantis known as the Men-of-War and Aquaman’s ally and the actor has revealed his character has gone through “some changes”.
He said: “Murk has gone through some changes, like the Black Ranger really. I like it when people pigeon-hole me because then it gives me a chance to try to break out of it. You put a wall in front of me, I want to try to break down that wall. So, this is Murk and I think he’s going to be pretty different from the original conception. But he’s going to be pretty remarkable as well. It’s been a pleasure working with some amazing people.”
The cast of ‘Aquaman’ boasts a number of Hollywood superstars, including Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Dolph Lundgren.
It is slated for release in December 2018.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen King wasn’t prepared for how good the ‘IT’ reboot is.
The 69-year-old author wrote the chilling novel about a child killer on the loose in an American town – which was turned into a 1990 TV mini-series starring Tim Curry as terrifying clown Pennywise – back in 1986 and now director Andy Muschietti has reimagined the story to scare a new audience in 2017.
King admits he approached the project with enthusiasm and “high hopes” but he was stunned by how frightening Muschietti’s version is and how terrifying Bill Skarsgard’s portrayal of Pennywise is.
The writer said: “I had hopes, but I was not prepared for how good it really was. It’s something that’s different and at the same time, it’s something that audiences are gonna relate to. They’re gonna like the characters. To me, it’s all about character. If you like the character, if you care, the scares generally work. I’m sure my fans will enjoy the movie. I think they’re gonna really enjoy the movie. And I think some of them will go back two or three times and actually savour the thing.”
‘IT’ follows a group of young children who are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against the evil clown in Derry, Maine, after multiple children go missing.
The surviving children mature into adulthood and are forced to revisit their horrors as one by one they encounter Pennywise again.
Muschietti previously revealed that ‘Allegiant’ star Skarsgard, 26, was so frightening in his full makeup that he freaked out his child co-stars on set.
The filmmaker said: “He didn’t stay in character when the camera stopped, but we did try to maintain distance between him and the kids.
“We wanted to carry the impact of the encounters to when the cameras were rolling. The first scene where Bill interacted with the children, it was fun to see how the plan worked. The kids were really, really creeped out by Bill. He’s pretty intimidating because he’s six-four and has all this makeup.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Oldman looked too much like Winston Churchill during his ‘Darkest Hour’ preparations.
The 59-year-old actor spent a long period of time working with a make-up designer and prosthetic designer Kazhuro Tsuji to transform him into the late UK Prime Minister, and admitted they ended up having to tone down his look because the likeness was “spooky” and he was no longer recognisable as himself.
He said: “There was blood, toil, tears and sweat, just to get me to look a little bit like Churchill.
“There was one look that was even more like Churchill than Churchill — but it was spooky, and there had to be a little bit of me to come through. The idea is to give an essence of the man.
“I wasn’t to be a man with a rubber face.”
After Gary, director Joe Wright and the rest of the team working on the wartime saga were happy with his look, the actor worked with costume designer Jacqueline Durran on his wardrobe and even used Churchill’s tailor and shirt-maker for the outfits.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye, Gary said: “It’s about capturing a flavour, a sense. My girlfriend said: ‘I go to bed with Winston Churchill, but I wake up with Gary.’ ”
The film is set during World War II and explains why Dunkirk happened, but the director felt it was very important to show the politician as a “human being” rather than just his “iconic” leadership.
Wright explained: “We know Churchill the icon. But I wanted the human being, with all his flaws and doubts. It’s important to see that out of doubt comes great strength; and out of despair can come hope. Churchill was vulnerable as well as powerful. That’s what I wanted to come across.”
