OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Patrick Stewart had to have hundreds of hairs individually added to his face for ‘Logan’.
The 76-year-old actor had to look like a ninety-year-old man for his role as Charles Xavier in the last instalment of the ‘X-Men’ franchise and now the movie’s make-up designer Joel Harlow has revealed what lengths they had to go to to age Stewart in the movie.
He said: “There is a lot of makeup on him that you can’t pick out, because hopefully, it’s very real. But it’s those subtleties that happen to us as we get older: a thinning of the skin, and more subdermal spots and discoloration, and hair takes over your ears and eyebrows. So I was adding one hair at a time to Patrick’s eyebrows and ears, but you might miss it if you didn’t know it was there.”
The Oscar winning make up artist was pleased to have not been met by any protests when he had to work on making the actors look older and wrinklier for the movie.
He added: “I had none of that in this. Everybody knew what movie we were making, and everybody embraced it. But certainly on other films it’s been an issue. Everybody wants to present their best face, and usually it’s my job to make them look great.
“This wasn’t that film. It’s a swan song for some of these characters. So everyone was on board with the vision Jim had, and there was never any vanity in the trailer. You couldn’t have this story with vanity. It flies in the face of what these characters are going through.”
And Harlow admits it was tough doing the prosthetic make-up for the movie as they had to battle with the elements as a lot of the movie was filmed outdoors.
He told The Verge: “Any time you’re dealing with dirt or blood – you want to maintain continuity from shot to shot, and that becomes incredibly difficult when you’re dealing with the elements. You dress blood onto somebody’s forehead and then they do a stunt, and suddenly they’ve sweated the blood down across their face, and now you have to match future shots to that. Or you have to clean it all up and start over, matching up with your original.
“The environments we shot Logan in were incredibly grueling. There’s a farmhouse sequence we shot in Natchez, Mississippi, in the middle of summer. It was a midnight shoot, and the mosquitoes were voracious. I don’t think I’ve ever been bitten as many times as I was over that week and a half of night shoots. That was horrible.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Luke Evans wanted his ‘Beauty And The Beast’ villain to be a good guy at first.
The 37-year-old actor – who plays Gaston in the live-action movie – was keen for the audience to like his character at first because he thinks that makes a better villain in the finish.
He said: “I just think that a villain shouldn’t start out as the bad guy. A villain should end up being the bad guy. And with Gaston, outwardly to a lot of people in that village, he is the hero. He’s a bit of a stud.
“He’s got the hair and the looks, he’s always impeccably dressed, and he’s got not a bad singing voice. He’s got a great pal that makes everybody support him and sing about him. So, I just thought, ‘Let’s make them like him, a little bit first, so that when the cracks start to appear, which they very subtly do, there’s something inside of him that shows he’s not used to things going like this, and that this is not what she’s supposed to be doing.'”
Evans was keen to play on the “humanity” of the character and admits it was a little scary when he realised what an “animalistic soldier” Gaston was.
He added to Collider.com: “And although he keeps believing that Belle will change her mind, that’s where the cracks appear. Slowly, the jealousy takes over. He has no book of spells. He has no magic powers. He’s a human being, and he uses his status within that village to rouse a crowd, but he does it all from just being himself, which is quite terrifying.
“So I played on the humanity of the character. He is larger than life. There was a lot to pull on. He was a war hero, of sorts. His murals are all over the pub that he drinks in. There is this animalistic soldier in him, when he finally fights the Beast on the rooftops. You see this man who’s out for blood, and it’s a scary moment to see the arc of somebody who was the loveable buffoon of the village becoming the monster.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Gunn has confirmed plans for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’.
The 46-year-old American screenwriter, director and producer is busy promoting his upcoming horror film ‘The Belko Experiment’ – a film penned by himself – and has just put the finishing touches to the eagerly anticipated ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ which will hit cinemas in May.
Gunn – who has directed and written both ‘Guardians…’ films – has spilled that there will be third outing for Chris Pratt and co.
In an interview with Complex, Gunn was asked whether there was any plans for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’, to which he replied: “There will be a ‘Guardians 3’, that’s for sure. We’re trying to figure it out. I’m trying to figure out what I want to do really, that’s all it is. I got to figure out where I want to be, what I want to spend the next three years of my life doing. You know, I’m going to make another big movie; is it the Guardians or something else? I’m just going to figure it out over the next couple of weeks.”
Before the plot of the third film is even figured out, fans are keen to see what happens in the sequel – which sees the return of Pratt as Star Lord Peter Quill, Vin Diesel as the voice of Baby Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer and Karen Gillan as Nebula.
But Gunn is remaining tight-lipped of the story, teasing: “It’s a very self-enclosed story, so I deal with the Marvel guys every day on where we’re going forward, but basically the story of ‘Vol. 2’ is about the Guardians and it has no connection to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and none were ever mandated. So where it ends up is what anybody would have to deal with after that.”
He said that one of the biggest misconceptions about working within the MCU is that people “overestimate” the amount of overall planning but in fact, he found the project his most rewarding to-date.
He said: “At the end of the day, we’re telling a long-form story that has many different moving parts and within those stories there’s a lot of freedom to do what you want. And I’ve been lucky in that the most creatively fulfilling freeing experience I’ve ever had making a film has been on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ – without a doubt. Because at the end of the day any choice was mine, if there’s ever a disagreement we go in my direction. The entire story was written by me alone in a room back in August 2014, and it stayed that way from the very beginning.”
The returning cast are also joined by newcomers Kurt Russell – who plays Quill’s father Ego – and Sylvester Stallone, who has an as-yet unknown role.

OHMYGOSSIP — John Krasinski is to direct his wife Emily Blunt in a new supernatural thriller.
The ‘Office’ star – who tied the knot with ‘The Girl on the Train’ actress in 2010 – is to helm ‘A Quiet Place’ which will be set on a farm and focus on a family that is being terrorised by an evil entity.
As well as directing for Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes, John – who has steeped behind the camera for two previous projects, ‘The Hollars’ and ‘Brief Interviews With Hideous Men’ – will also star opposite Emily and has also completed a new draft of the script from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ original.
The couple – who have two daughters, Hazel, three, and nine-month-old Violet, together – have starred in the same film together before when they both featured in 2011 family flick ‘The Muppets’ but they shared no scenes with each other. They also both voiced characters in the animated movies ‘The Wind Rises’ and ‘Animal Crackers’, the latter of which will hit cinemas in September.
John has made no secret of the fact he would like to direct his British spouse in a movie.
He previously said: “I would love to direct Emily. I don’t know, I would rather act with Emily than direct. I don’t know if I need that responsibility. She’s so good and I’d be so scared to screw it up. But happy to be in scenes with her because that would be really fun. We’re always up for doing something, it just gotta be the right thing.”
‘A Quiet Place’ will be produced by Michael Bay along with his partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes.
Shooting is set to begin this autumn.

OHMYGOSSIP — Mads Mikkelsen walked out of his ‘Fantastic Four’ audition because it felt “wrong”.
The 51-year-old Danish actor has a string of hit movies under his belt including ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’, Marvel Cinematic Universe movie ‘Doctor Strange’ and 2006 James Bond flick ‘Casino Royale’ in which he played villain Le Chiffre opposite Daniel Craig.
But even though he has a stellar filmography, Mikkelsen has had his fair share of bad auditions including 20th Century Fox’s 2015 reboot of the superhero franchise lifted from the pages of Marvel Comics.
In an interview with ShortList magazine he admitted storming out of his ‘Fantastic Four’ audition, spilling: “I think I said, ‘I can’t do it. It’s not about you. I’m sorry, this is wrong.’ ”
Fans had put Mikkelsen as their top choice to play the role of Victor von Doom (aka Doctor Doom), but Mikkelsen dodged a bullet as the movie – which focuses on the superhuman squad of Mr. Fantastic, The Human Torch, The Invisible Woman and The Thing – was savaged by critics.
And his ‘Fantastic Four’ experience is not the only audition that didn’t quite go to plan for Mikkelsen, as he admits he has had “tons” of bad auditions.
He explained: “We’ve all been there. We all show up and it’s a little office room with a desk and they want you to do a scene where you have two lines – maybe even just a ‘Bleurgh!’ or ‘Get Back!’ – and you’re hiding behind a palm tree that’s not there. It’s like, ‘Guys, couldn’t you have picked a different scene? This is mad.’ You feel like an idiot.”
One role in a superhero movie he did land was portraying the main villain Kaecilius in ‘Doctor Strange’ opposite Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character whom he insists was a complete “gentleman”.
Speaking about working opposite the ‘Sherlock’ star, Mikkelsen said: “He’s the hardest-working man in the business. He’s always playing some kind of specialist, and he always takes his time and makes a great effort to understand it and master it as much as he can.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Edgerton only wants to make Hollywood movies that have a “nutritional value”.
The 42-year-old actor – who stars in the David Ayer-directed sci-fi film ‘Bright’ – has admitted that while Hollywood has afforded him some “great opportunities”, there are also some potential pitfalls to working in Tinseltown.
He told SBS: “Bright is a big Hollywood movie, but David Ayer is not extremely Hollywood. He spent years working on a submarine and is a completely different fish compared to the ones swimming around in Hollywood.
“I’m not scared of doing big Hollywood movies. I just want to know that they have at least some nutritional value. I mean one day I might just take the money and run and I’ll acknowledge that without shame. I’ll wave to you from my Maserati as I tear on by!
“I don’t mean to p**s on Hollywood because it has provided lots of great opportunities for me. It’s also a loose term that’s hard to define.”
This comes shortly after Joel admitted he is glad his looks allow him to play a variety of different characters.
Joel has accepted a broad range of roles during his career, including the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses in ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’, and he has confessed it’s a challenge he relishes.
The Australian actor said previously: “If you’re super good-looking and charismatic and you like playing the same character every time, good luck to you – you’ll make squillions of dollars.
“The interest I have in being an actor, though, is adapting your energy to play all sorts of different characters.”
In January, Joel revealed he was then in the midst of losing weight for a new on-screen role.
He shared: “I’m losing weight right now for a f**king job. I’ve dropped 10 kilos in three weeks.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Hemsworth thought he had been fired when his Marvel character didn’t appear in ‘Captain America: Civil War’.
The 33-year-old actor has starred as the Norse deity Thor in the Marvel Cinematic universe since 2011’s eponymously titled movie, but was concerned he’d been booted from the role when his character was notably missing from the script of the most recent ‘Captain America’ feature.
The 2016 movie featured most of the cast of Marvel’s ensemble venture ‘The Avengers’, including Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), but Thor did not make an appearance.
Speaking about his omission from the script, Chris told Entertainment Weekly magazine: “I was like, ‘What? Are we being fired?’ Marvel quickly reassured us, ‘No you guys have got your own journey going on, and in order for that to work you can’t be a part of this one.’ Look, it turned out just perfect because we got to do a whole different kind of thing we wouldn’t have able to do otherwise.”
Thor’s absence from ‘Captain America: Civil War’ comes as the superhero is set to be involved in his own adventure when his third solo venture ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ hits screens in November this year.
The movie will see the return of Chris as the handsome crown prince of Asgard, joined by his adoptive brother and nemesis Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston.
Chris is also set to star in the third instalment of the ensemble movie series, when ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ lands in theatres 2018.
With the rest of the superhero squad, the movie – which began recently began filming – also features ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star Chris Pratt in his role as Star-Lord, and ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ actor Tom Holland as the popular lycra-clad hero Spider-Man.

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Cozad is in talks to write ‘Suicide Squad 2’.
The ‘Legend of Tarzan’ screenwriter is reportedly being lined up to pen the script for the hotly-anticipated sequel to 2016 hit ‘Suicide Squad’, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The studio is naturally keen to get the ball rolling on the film following its box office success and whilst a director has yet to be announced, several names have been doing the rounds.
Mel Gibson has been linked to the movie but he has insisted it isn’t a “done deal” yet.
He shared: “I don’t know. I just met some guys about story points. It’s not a done deal or anything, but it’s just fun to shoot the pool, you know, when it comes to stories.
“I love doing it. And if we can elevate any type of concept, it’s good. We’ll see.”
It comes after David Ayer decided not to return for the sequel in favour of working and developing ‘Gotham City Sirens’, which follows the female villains in the DC Universe including Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie.
The original ‘Suicide Squad’ movie followed the story of popular characters including The Joker (Jared Leto), Deadshot (Will Smith) and Enchantress (Cara Delevingne). The movie also featured appearances from Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis and Scott Eastwood.
And Jai Courtney previously poured cold water on the rumours fans could expect a ‘Suicide Squad’ sooner than its rumoured release date of 2019.
He shared: “Listen, they keep their cards very close to their chest. I actually have no idea, I pray the answer is yes. I certainly don’t feel like I’m done with that character.
“I had a lot of fun playing him, and I don’t feel like anyone is done with that franchise, certainly not yet. So, I hope so, sooner or later. The studio is very busy at the moment, director David Ayer is directing something else at the moment, but I’m sure they have plans, just none that they’ve shared with me.”
