OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Pine wants to emulate Ryan Gosling’s success.
The ‘Hell Or High Water’ actor is a huge fan of the ‘Drive’ star’s career and thinks the “smooth operator” has made some very smart decisions when it comes to choosing a diverse range of projects.
Asked whose career he’d like to emulate, he said: “I think Ryan Gosling. He’s got a very intelligent handle on his position in the industry.
“He’s got a very strong presence in arthouse cinema, but keeps his feet on both sides of the ledge and that’s something I admire. He’s a very smart operator.”
Like Ryan, Chris admitted his good looks have sometimes hindered his career and he’s had to work hard to land gritty roles as directors were not convinced his handsome features were right for the parts he wanted.
He told heat magazine: “I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with this horrible burden but yeah, I’ve had to work beyond how I’m perceived, physically.
“And sometimes I’ve had to convince directors and casting guys that I’m right for the part.
“When I did ‘Smokin’ Aces’, it called for this redneck hillbilly with tattoos and I really wanted the role.
“But at the time, the director, Joe Carnahan, didn’t think I was right and didn’t have that rabid fire.
“I had to really convince him I could do it, just to give me that chance. It’s liberating not to have looks as a factor. I’m not a model. My looks shouldn’t come into it. It’s such an odd part of the job.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Roberts is to star in ‘Four Seasons’.
The 25-year-old actress will team up with Jeffrey Tambor and Jane Levy for the indie movie, which will be told in four chapters with each one set in a different season.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ‘Here Comes the Night’ directors Peter Kline and Pete Shanel will helm the motion picture, which will be based on their script.
The movie tells the story of radio host Walter (Tambor) having to deal with his troubled daughter, who is played by Roberts, while splitting up from his alcoholic wife.
Meanwhile, his son Stephen is attempting to reinvent himself in Los Angeles with his girlfriend Ashley (Levy), but doesn’t get his own way.
Roberts recently starred in thriller movie ‘Nerve’ alongside Dave Franco, and in one scene the pair have to run through a department store in just their underwear, which he admitted was embarrassing to shoot in front of the crew.
He previously said: “You never really get used to that, it was pretty horrifying to be honest. That was the dare that the two of us were most anxious about because on screen it’s only about five minutes, but in reality, that was the two of us over the course of two days in our underwear in front of hundreds of crew members and so that is not something you ever get used to, but again hopefully it’s a fun scene in the movie and hopefully it’s worth it.”
Franco and Roberts play Ian and Vee in the movie which follows players and watchers of online reality video game Nerve, which is an extreme version of truth or dare.

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Stone rehearsed for “months” to get her dance steps spot on for ‘La La Land’.
The 27-year-old actress underwent gruelling sessions to get her moves right for the musical film, but admitted if she or co-star Ryan Gosling made mistakes they were able to stay in the motion picture because they were playing “real” people.
She said: “We rehearsed for months. Mandy Moore, the choreographer, took us through all the moves; and I had much to learn, even though I did song and dance as a kid in Arizona.
“Mia and Sebastian are two very real people, so the great thing about Damien [Chazelle, director] was that if we missed a step, or a beat, it wasn’t cut. I’m not Idina Menzel.”
Stone portrays aspiring actress Mia in the movie, opposite Gosling’s alter-ego, jazz pianist Sebastian, who fall for each other in Los Angeles.
The ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ star took inspiration from her character’s idol, late actress Ingrid Bergman.
Speaking about the Swedish star, she told the Daily Mail newspaper: “She was so focused and so professional in spite of everything that was going on in her private life.
“She was given a hard time by a Hollywood that wanted her to be a saint.”
While the movie is likely to pick up many a fan along the way, one big supporter of the film is Hollywood legend Tom Hanks.
After watching a screening of the motion picture at the Telluride Film Festival, he declared: “Man, that was the most fun I’ve had in a thousand years!”
This comes after he interrupted a press conference for his own movie ‘Sully’ to say he thinks Hollywood is “doomed” if people don’t like ‘La La Land’.
He said: “This is not a movie that falls into some sort of trend. I think it is going to be a test of the broader national audience, because it has none of the things that major studios want.
“Pre-awareness is a big thing they want, which is why a lot of remakes are going on. [‘La La Land’] is not a sequel, nobody knows who the characters are … But if the audience doesn’t go and embrace something as wonderful as this then we are all doomed.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Manganiello will play the villain in Ben Affleck’s forthcoming Batman film.
The writer and director only confirmed the nefarious super soldier Deathstroke will be joining his stand-alone film earlier this week but it seems it hasn’t taken him long to find his star as the 39-year-old actor has already taken on the role.
According to Deadline, it’s not yet known if Deathstroke will be the main villain in the forthcoming blockbuster but it’s believed he will be one of the leads.
Affleck – who played the Dark Knight in this year’s ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ – is remaining tight lipped on his project at the moment but set tongues wagging at the end of August when he posted a short video on Twitter of Deathstroke, who is also known as Slade, walking towards the camera.
Since then, fans have also started speculating that DC Comics supervillain Mr. Freeze could make an appearance in the upcoming movie as at the end of Affleck’s clip he panned out to a Titan Cool portable air conditioner.
Deathstroke was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and first appeared in DC Comic ‘The New Teen Titans’ #2 in 1980.
The character has a grudge against Green Arrow but his original enemy was the Teen Titans.
He has also gone up against Batman on several occasions in DC Comics following their first duel in 1991’s ‘City of Assassins’ story, in which Deathstroke badly beat up the Dark Knight.
Slade/Deathstroke has also appeared on The CW’s TV series ‘Arrow’, and creator Marc Guggenheim recently revealed the character was involved in “another DC project”.
When asked why the villain hadn’t returned to ‘Arrow’, he wrote on tumblr: “The character of Slade Wilson is currently tied up in another DC project. Walter is more likely.”
Meanwhile, the release date for the untitled film is yet to be announced.

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Day-Lewis is set to reunite with director Paul Thomas Anderson for his first film role since 2012.
The 59-year-old actor hasn’t featured in a big blockbuster since ‘Lincoln’ four years ago but is keen for an explosive comeback as he joins a new flick about the 1950s fashion scenes.
Rumours that the Irish hunk and the American film director – who collaborated on the 2008 hit ‘There Will Be Blood’ – were planning to reunite began to swirl earlier this year but the news was seemingly confirmed at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada recently, according to the BBC.
The forthcoming film is yet to be given a name and any details surrounding the plot are being kept under wraps but it’s believed it will hit the big screen next year.
Meanwhile, Day-Lewis is no doubt looking forward to sinking his teeth into another gritty film with Thomas Anderson.
‘There Will Be Blood’ was a drama fuelled by family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, and focused on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.
Anderson – whose other credits include ‘Punch-Drunk Love’, ‘Magnolia’, ‘Boogie Nights’ and ‘Hard Eight’ – wrote and directed the title, which was his fifth feature length film.
Since then, the 46-year-old filmmaker has been busying himself with a foray in to the world of music and directed Radiohead’s ‘Daydreaming’ video and Joanna Newsom’s ‘Divers’ and ‘Sapokanikan’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ewan McGregor has claimed that making blockbuster movies is “tedious”.
The 45-year-old actor is no stranger to large studio productions having played Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi in the ‘Star Wars’ prequels among other massive films, but he has revealed that he “can’t stand” working on them because they take so much longer to make than smaller productions.
Speaking to Esquire magazine, he said: “Very big studio pictures are tedious to make. If you’ve got 80 people in your crew, as opposed to two or three, suddenly you’re with all these massive f***ing egos walking around. All that takes up time and money, which is why they take five months to shoot. Everyone’s quite happy if you come home having done a third of a scene. I can’t stand it. As a Scottish working man, I’m like, ‘F***ing get on with it.'”
The actor is reprising one of his most famous roles as Mark Renton in the ‘Trainspotting’ sequel ‘T2: Trainspotting’ directed by Danny Boyle.
And Ewan has revealed he feels most comfortable when he’s working with 59-year-old filmmaker Danny, who he has collaborated with on several projects.
He said: “Danny was my first movie director and the most important of my life, because I was part of his filmmaking team for those three first movies. It was who I was. I thought, ‘I’m Danny Boyle’s actor.’ ”
Despite his lack of enthusiasm for large Hollywood productions, the ‘Moulin Rouge!’ actor has said that he believes it is important for his daughters, Clara, 20, Esther, 14, Jamyan, also 14, and five-year-old Anouk, to share in the “excitement” of what he does.
He said: I share the excitement of what I do with them. I don’t pretend it’s all ‘ugh’. I make sure they know when I’m going off on a work trip that I’m going away to do something that I love. I would never dream of steering them away from it, because the truth is: If you want to do this, you’re gonna do it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — DC Entertainment President Geoff Johns has revealed that ‘Justice League’ won’t be “gritty”.
Following the large amounts of negative criticism aimed at preceding film ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, studio Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics have decided to make the ensemble movie “hopeful and optimistic”.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal newspaper, Johns – who is working as a producer on the superhero film – said: “Mistakenly in the past I think the studio has said, ‘Oh, DC films are gritty and dark and that’s what makes them different.’ That couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a hopeful and optimistic view of life. Even Batman has a glimmer of that in him. If he didn’t think he’d make tomorrow better, he’d stop.”
The comments come after Zack Snyder – who directed ‘Batman v Superman’ and is also at the helm for ‘Justice League’ – claimed that harsh backlash from fans has severely impacted his approach to the upcoming movie.
The 50-year-old said previously: “[The hate] did catch me off guard. I have had to, in my mind, make an adjustment. I do think that the tone of ‘Justice League’ has changed because of what the fans have said.”
And Geoff, 43, has also promised fans in the wake of the ‘Batman v Superman’ negativity that there will be far fewer of Zack’s “controversial flourishes” in ‘Justice League’ – which brings together iconic heroes Batman, Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and Cyborg.
Ben Affleck plays The Caped Crusader in the movie and previously stated that Bruce Wayne and Batman will be funnier this time round but the humour is quite “dark”.
The 44-year-old actor said: “He’s a little bit more sardonic, humour, a little more irony. He’s a little more of a man on a mission this time. As opposed to being so full of anger because of what happened at the Black Zero Event. That kind of rage that possessed him. And now he’s on a mission to get this group together. To constitute this League. But, more of that sort of Bruce Wayne, wry, ironic gallows humour comes out.
“He’s not like ‘ha ha’ jokey, but that sort of stuff comes out a little bit. A bit of his sort of darker humour stuff is present.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel Gibson thinks ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ was “a piece of s**t”.
The straight-talking actor-and-director is shocked that Zack Snyder’s blockbuster – starring Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill as the two DC Comics superheroes – cost approximately $250 million to make and was critically mauled.
When discussing the ginormous budgets attached to making Marvel Studios and DC Comics movies, he ranted: “What did they spend on ‘Batman v Superman’ that they’re admitting to? And it’s a piece of s**t.”
The 60-year-old star explained: “I look at them and scratch my head. I’m really baffled by it. I think there’s a lot of waste but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I’d find out different. I don’t know. Maybe they do cost that much. I don’t know. It seems to me that you could do it for less … if you’re spending outrageous amounts of money, $180 million or more, I don’t know how you make it back after the tax man gets you, and after you give half to the exhibitors.”
Gibson received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for his comeback movie ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ starring Andrew Garfield – who ironically rose to fame playing Marvel superhero Spider-Man.
The biographical war movie focuses on conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss – portrayed by Garfield – a Seventh Day Adventist who refused to carry a gun and was awarded the Medal of Honour for his efforts as a combat medic in World War II.
Gibson says his film depicts real life superheroes not ones in “spandex”.
Still trying to wrap his head around the idea that comic book movies cost so much to make, he told Deadline: “I’m not interested in the stuff. Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn’t wear spandex. So I don’t know. Spandex must cost a lot.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cillian Murphy says making ‘Anthropoid’ ‘Dunkirk’ have not made him “understand” the “horror” of war.
The 40-year-old actor has shot the two World War II dramas – directed by Sean Ellis and Christopher Nolan respectively – back-to-back, however, although he may play a soldier in each movie he accepts he can never truly comprehend what men who fight in conflicts go through.
He said: “Do you get to understand it more? The answer is no. We are students the four weeks before the film and the six or eight weeks or 10 weeks during it and you absorb and absorb it as much as you can, but on a very superficial level. I think it would be indulgent for us as actors to say, ‘I understand it’, no, these were real people who lived and died and we cannot even begin to imagine the horrors of it. We’re just trying to portray it as honestly as possible.”
The Irish actor – who is famous for his role TV crime thriller ‘Peaky Blinders’ – admits he is slightly worried about being stereotyped by his roles in the two movies.
He added to website HeyUGuys.com: “Well first of all I made a couple of science fiction films a couple of years ago and people, went, ‘Oh science fiction, now that’s your thing,’ and it’s not, it’s totally random. I had no idea Christopher Nolan would be making ‘Dunkirk’ after I made this film.”
Cillian will appear alongside One Direction singer Harry Styles in ‘Dunkirk’ and revealed the singer has been “really funny” and enjoys a laugh and a joke on set.
He previously said: “Harry Styles is great. I had very few scenes with Harry but we got to hang out and I’ve got to say he’s a great, great kid, and really, really funny. Above all, Chris Nolan knows talent and would have cast Harry for a reason.”
