There was a time where hate for Anne Hathaway was confoundingly strong. But what had she really done to deserve all of the backlash? It’s not like she was a one-note star – she balanced crappy rom-comcs with terrific performances in movies like Brokeback Mountain and Rachel Getting Married – or was a problem on the set. And yet people had seemingly decided to turn on her sometime in the early 2010s, with a new term, “Hathahate”, being coined. But one who remained faithful in her as an actress and a professional was Christopher Nolan, who cast her as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises and again in 2014’s Interstellar. And for that, Anne Hathaway is forever grateful.

Jake Gyllenhaal opened up about losing roles in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! and Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins.
The Road House actor appeared on The Howard Stern Show and talked about how he handled finding out he was not chosen for the roles in the films he auditioned for.
In Moulin Rouge! the role of Christian, that ultimately went to Ewan McGregor, was down to Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, who the actor would wind up co-starring later in Brokeback Mountain.
“What I felt was disappointment when I didn’t get it. Both Heath and I were disappointed,” Gyllenhaal said. “But that’s Ewan McGregor’s part. You learn to go, ‘There’s another one. I can try and go in and audition for another one. I’ll get something else.’ You keep that attitude.”
Gyllenhaal continued with this mindset when he lost the role of Batman to Christian Bale...

Despite the mixed reviews for Road House, the viewers and critics unanimously loved Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance in the bouncer role. It’s no wonder that the actor has such a good portfolio and even his rejected roles speak volumes of his skills. Gyllenhaal was in the running to play Batman in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. While the role eventually went to Christian Bale, Gyllenhaal was not bummed out by the rejection.

The Donnie Darko actor’s positive mindset was influenced by the fact that Nolan personally called him to tell him that he did not get the role. Gyllenhaal went on to land roles in critically acclaimed films like Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead, following his Batman rejection.

It’s no secret that Jake Gyllenhaal’s Oscar snub for his performance in 2014’s Nightcrawler was considered by many as an atrocious crime, but the fact that the actor has only received one nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain is even more appalling.

No one, indeed, has any explanation for why the Oscars so actively avoids Gyllenhaal and his incredible body of works. He is one of the most prolific stars of this generation, yet he is still in the league of the most snubbed actors of all time.
Jake Gyllenhaal Starved Himself For Nightcrawler
The world of Nightcrawler is found in Los Angeles at night, where stringers go out to film accidents and crime scenes and sell them to the local news. Jake Gyllenhaal’s character, Louis Bloom, becomes the symbol that draws the line between unethical journalism and consumer demand.

Gyllenhaal is no stranger to the superhero genre. He played the role of the comic book villain Quentin Beck, better known as Mysterio, in the 2019 movie Spider-Man: Far From Home. This time the actor has his eyes set on the DC Comics superhero Batman. However, he seems to be better suited for the role of Joker based on his performance in the 2014 movie Nightcrawler.

Road House 2024 successfully updates the 80s cult classic with a diverse cast and a more explicit backstory for Dalton. The chemistry between the A-listers and debutants in the remake elevates the action film, drawing in positive reviews. Jake Gyllenhaal's charismatic portrayal of Elwood Dalton, along with Conor McGregor's Knox, add depth to the character dynamics.
Despite following the same basic story as the original, Road House is a surprisingly worthy update to the 80s cult classic, introducing a range of new and replacement characters. Like the Patrick Swayze version, Road House is an irreverent action movie, drawing inspiration from Western movie tropes and conventions. However, while the original movie failed to impress critics, Road House 2024 has enjoyed a generally positive reaction, largely thanks to the performances of its impressive cast.

The entire industry was in tears as the actor, unfortunately, passed away before getting to witness his magnificent achievement.

Robert Downey Jr. was one of the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar alongside Heath Ledger in the 2009 Oscars. While everybody was almost sure Ledger would win the award for his exceptional performance as the Clown Prince of Crime, other prominent actors like Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Michael Shannon were also in the race.

The films in contention for the 2024 Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar are “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” “Poor Things,” and “The Zone of Interest.” Our odds currently indicate that “American Fiction” (7/2) will win the award, followed in order of likelihood by “Oppenheimer” (18/5), “Barbie” (4/1), “Poor Things” (9/2), and “The Zone of Interest” (9/2).
This marks only the 14th instance in 96 years of all five Best Adapted Screenplay-nominated films also being in the running for Best Picture. Prior to the last time in 2017 – the year “Moonlight” achieved dual victories – this had happened only twice during the 21st century (2011; 2013) and once during the latter half of the 20th (1965). The bulk of cases occurred almost annually from 1934 to 1943, with the only inapplicable year being 1937.
Respective “The Zone of Interest” and “Oppenheimer” writers Jonathan Glazer and Christopher Nolan are simultaneously nominated for Best Director, while Nolan is also set to face off against “American Fiction” scripter Cord Jefferson in the Best Picture race.

The films in contention for the 2024 Best Cinematography Oscar are “El Conde,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Poor Things.” Our odds currently favor “Oppenheimer” (31/10) taking the prize, followed in order by “Killers of the Flower Moon” (4/1), “Poor Things” (4/1), “Maestro” (9/2), and “El Conde” (9/2).
After 2013 and 2016, this is the third time that a 21st century cinematography lineup has exclusively consisted of previously nominated lensers. This case differs from the preceding two, however, in that none of the current contenders have ever won before. The one with the most losses so far is Rodrigo Prieto, whose bid for “Killers of the Flower Moon” is his third for a Martin Scorsese-directed film, following “Silence” (2017) and “The Irishman” (2020). Having initially earned a notice for his work on “Brokeback Mountain” (2006), he remains the category’s second most recognized Latin American-born nominee behind fellow Mexican Emmanuel Lubezki.

The Oscar for Best Original Score has been awarded to some of the most memorable pieces of film music of all time, from “Star Wars” to “La La Land.” Many awards are considered precursors to the Oscars, so you would think the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media would be pretty accurate, right? After all, there’s surely overlap between the Recording Academy and the music branch of the motion picture academy. And musicians would naturally be more aligned with what other musicians think than with groups of journalists like the Golden Globes Association or Critics Choice Association.
The two awards bodies have overlapped a lot over the years, but they are not afraid to differ. Since 2000 Oscar-winning scores for films like “Babel,” “The Artist,” “Life of Pi” and “The Hateful Eight” have lost the Grammy, sometimes to scores they beat at the Oscars. Other Oscar champs like “Frida,...

The hype leading up to The Dark Knight in 2008 was the closest we’ve come to reliving Bat-Mania that took over pop culture in 1989 leading up to the first Batman. Much of the hype came from the revelation of Heath Ledger’s take on the Joker. Christopher Nolan’s star was on the rise as people resonated with his 2005 reboot Batman Begins, and his interpretation of the clown prince of crime was a fresh burst of energy. A number of photos and a teaser from the film was released when the world was dealt the devastating news about the passing of Heath Ledger. Ledger’s career had gained immense steam after performances in Monster’s Ball and Brokeback Mountain.
A new detail was revealed about the day Heath Ledger was found unresponsive as Stephen Gaghan, the Oscar-winning writer of Traffic, appeared on a new limited series podcast called Development Hell. According to The Hollywood Reporter,...

“Poor Things” has been the movie occupying second spot for the majority of this awards season, with “Oppenheimer” reigning supreme in first. But we’ve been here before. “Crash” beat “Brokeback Mountain,” “Green Book” beat “Roma,” and “Moonlight” beat “La La Land,” which coincidentally also starred “Poor Things” actress Emma Stone.
Stone is a producer on “Poor Things” and if her film, from Searchlight Pictures, manages to pull off a shock Best Picture victory over Universal’s “Oppenheimer,” Stone could make Oscars history. So far, only one woman has won both Best Picture and Best Actress in the same year: Frances McDormand for Chloé Zhao‘s “Nomadland,” which was also from Searchlight Pictures.
Stone is nominated for Best Picture as a producer alongside Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, and director Yorgos Lanthimos. The film had a successful night at the BAFTAs, winning five awards in total, but it lost the big...

Netflix hasn’t officially pulled the trigger on Beef season 2, but when it does, it could come with a star-studded cast. According to Deadline, the new season will revolve around two feuding couples. Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are being eyed to play one of the couples, and Charles Melton (May December) and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) are being eyed for the other.
As it’s still early on in the process, Deadline admits that there are no deals in place yet but added that the scripts for Beef season 2 were recently turned in. Should everything move ahead, production on the new season could get underway by later summer or fall. Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have appeared together several times before, most notably in Brokeback Mountain and Love & Other Drugs, so it would be fun to see them share the screen again.

Movie romances never run out of obstacles to throw in the way of the main couple, but the most iconic hurdle of all is the forbidden love story. This trope has been executed countless times throughout cinema history. There's something particularly heart-wrenching and exciting about two people who long to be together but can't, due to circumstances out of their control.
Stories such as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet have been around for centuries, but the forbidden romance plot line is still relevant today in other variations. From blockbuster hits like Titanic to animated treasures like Beauty and the Beast, these romantic pairings fight to overcome barriers such as class, society, and rivalries to be together. While forbidden romances likely won't go away anytime soon, these couples always stand out as the most iconic.

We hear that the storyline this time will revolve around two feuding couples.

It’s not often that the SAG Awards stages a movie cast reunion, but one of the highlights of this year’s actors guild kudofest on Netflix was a lovefest for the 2006 romantic comedy The Devil Wears Prada, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt taking the stage Saturday to present the first award for Male Actor in a Comedy Series (Jeremy Allen White of The Bear won).
“Two things, I forgot my glasses and the envelope,” Streep began after taking the mic solo. She was then joined onstage by Blunt carrying the envelope and Hathaway carrying her glasses.
“It’s an age-old question, where does the character end, and the actor begin?” Streep began.
Blunt retorted, “Meryl and Miranda Priestly are like twins,” referencing Streep’s fierce Anna Wintour-like fashion magazine editor from the movie, a maker and decimator of dreams.
“I don’t think I’m anything like Miranda Priestly!

Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” will notch another incredibly important precursor win on its path to the Oscars at the upcoming 35th Producers Guild of America Awards on Sunday, Feb. 25. According to our official odds, the blockbuster film will take home the honor of Best Picture. The ceremony includes other film categories such as animated and documentary feature and television trophies for drama, comedy, limited series and more. Scroll down for our official PGA Awards odds in 10 categories with our winner predictions highlighted in gold.
A victory for “Oppenheimer” here would be significant because, more often than not, the winner at PGA goes on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Since 2000, the two prizes have gone hand-in-hand 16 times. The exceptions are film years 2001 (when PGA opted for “Moulin Rouge!” and the Oscars awarded “A Beautiful Mind”), 2004 (“The Aviator” / “Million Dollar Baby”), 2005 (“Brokeback Mountain” / “Crash”), 2006 (“Little Miss Sunshine” / “The Departed...

When Martin Scorsese was making “Silence,” his 2016 drama about a pair of Jesuit priests spreading the gospel in Japan, a typhoon hit the area, bringing with it biblical showers. As the filmmaker braced himself for news that the bad weather would mean he’d have to abandon plans to shoot that day, there was a rap on his trailer door. There stood Rodrigo Prieto, Scorsese’s long-time cinematographer, outfitted in heavy rain gear. Despite the deluge, he was radiating optimism.
“We’re almost ready,” Prieto reassured the director. “Just a few more minutes.”
Prieto’s calm demeanor and his commitment to getting the work done, no matter the elemental hurdles, left Scorsese speechless.
“He always delivers — he interprets what I’m asking for and he brings it to life,” Scorsese marvels. “He’s always positive and he thinks and works quickly. And absolutely nothing stops him.”

Focus Features has bought international rights to Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist,” starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce and Joe Alwyn, Variety has learned.
Corbet, who sits on the Berlinale jury, penned the film with Mona Fastvold (“The World to Come”), a Norwegian filmmaker who is also his wife. The film charts 30 years in the lives of visionary architect László Toth and his wife, Erzsébet, who flee post-war Europe in 1947 and witness the birth of modern America. László initially endures poverty and indignity, but the architect’s genius soon catches the attention of charming industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren, whose dark influence threatens to destroy everything László and his wife have built.

The Notebook is a beloved romance movie that is considered a classic and is praised for its storytelling through flashbacks. Plans for a TV show adaptation of The Notebook were announced in 2015 but have since been put on hold and are now unlikely to happen. However, fans can look forward to The Notebook being adapted into a stage musical, set to open on Broadway in 2024, bringing a new take on the iconic romance.
The 2004 film The Notebook is arguably one of the most famous romance movies ever made, but there were other plans for the story that never came to light. Based on the 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook depicts the relationship of Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton, as they spend a summer romance together before reuniting years later. Their story is told by an elderly man named Duke, to a woman suffering from dementia in a nursing home.

Things behind the scenes of the Jake Gyllenhaal-led Road House remake have been quite rocky as director Doug Liman is less than thrilled about Amazon’s decision to drop it on their streaming service. Liman, known for acclaimed gems such as Edge of Tomorrow and The Bourne Identity, stressed the movie is made for the big screen experience, even claiming it might be one of his best works to date.
However, the 37-year-old podcaster Brian Davis, aka True Geordie, known for delving into Mma-based matters, isn’t too thrilled about Liman’s upcoming remake of the 1989 classic.

Heath Ledger is best known for his roles in Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. His role as the Joker earned him widespread praise, leading to multiple posthumous awards, including the—Academy Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Before his death, Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were rumored to be dating. These reports led to further allegations that Olsen may have been involved in providing drugs to him. But, no solid evidence backed these claims. Even the actress herself has repeatedly denied them.

Before his death, Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were rumored to be dating. These reports led to further allegations that Olsen may have been involved in providing drugs to him. But, no solid evidence backed these claims. Even the actress herself has repeatedly denied them.

With the 96th Academy Awards basically a month away, things are starting to get serious. Well, I mean, they’ve already been serious for a while, but now presumptions are beginning to mold into sure-things – at least, as sure as something whose results aren’t yet certain can be. The one thing everyone seems pretty sure about is this: “Oppenheimer” is getting ready to sweep up everything in sight at the forthcoming Oscars. You know it. I know it. Even people who don’t follow awards season that closely seem to know it.
But bear with me for a moment while I think about a possible alternate scenario in which “The Holdovers” swoops in and steals the biggest thunder by taking home the Best Picture statuette.
No, I’m not crazy, Hear me out.

When Martin Scorsese strikes up a relationship with his cinematographer, the collaboration tends to last for more than one film. Throughout his legendary career, Scorsese has worked repeatedly with such top names in the art of cinematography as Michael Chapman, Michael Ballhaus, Robert Richardson, and now Rodrigo Prieto. The acclaimed cinematographer, who was an Oscar nominee for “Brokeback Mountain,” has been at Scorsese’s side for the last four of the master filmmaker’s projects. During that run, Prieto has received three Oscar nominations for his artistry.
“It is crazy to imagine that I could even one day in my career say, ‘Yeah, it’s my third nomination with Martin Scorsese for an Oscar.’ What are you talking about?” Prieto, who was nominated this year for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “It’s thrilling and I feel very privileged to be in this position.

It’s an old canard in the movie business: Never underestimate a Holocaust movie when it comes to Oscar attention. From Hungary’s Best Foreign Language winner “Son of Saul” (2016) and Oscar-winners “Judgment at Nuremberg” (1961), “Cabaret” (1973), “Sophie’s Choice” (1983), and “The Pianist” (2004) to Steven Spielberg’s Best Picture winner “Schindler’s List” (1994), many Holocaust subjects, especially shorts and documentary features, have won Oscars. Documentaries like “Anne Frank Remembered” won for 1995, “The Long Way Home” for 1997, “The Last Days” for 1998, and “Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport” for 2000, and more recently, the nonfiction short “The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life” won for 2014 — just one week after its subject, Alice Herz-Sommer, the world’s oldest Holocaust survivor, passed away.
This season’s most decorated Holocaust film, “The Zone of Interest” (Metascore: 91) has multiple Oscar advantages. First, the film, which British filmmaker Jonathan Glazer adapted from the Martin Amis novel of the same name,...
