Details regarding the 29-year-old’s reported casting remain a mystery. </p> <p>Goth’s career reached new heights last year following the release of dual period pieces <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/watch-new-trailer-for-ti-west-x-starring-mia-goth-kid-cudi-more" rel="noopener"><em>X</em></a>—which saw her memorably play multiple characters—and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/a24-x-prequel-pearl-starring-mia-goth-trailer" rel="noopener"><em>Pearl</em></a>. It appears filming for <em>MaXXXine</em>, the third entry in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/ti_west" rel="noopener">Ti West</a>-directed trilogy, started yesterday.</p> <p>Mia Goth continued mining the horror vein this year in Brandon Cronenberg’s unsettling sophomore feature <em>Infinity Pool,</em> co-starring with Alexander Skarsgård. Her previous work in and around the genre includes <em>Suspiria, </em><em>A Cure for Wellness, </em>and<em> Marrowbone.</em></p> <p>Back in 2019, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige delivered the surprise announcement of a <em>Blade</em> revival with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2019/07/mahershala-ali-oscar-clout-kevin-feige-blade" rel="noopener">Ali to play the titular character</a>. Since then, the film has experienced a few setbacks. Bassam Tariq announced in September 2022 he was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/tracewilliamcowen/blade-director-bassam-tariq-exits-mahershala-ali-starring-film" rel="noopener">stepping down as director</a>, but would retain his role as an executive producer. A Marvel rep told the<em> Hollywood Reporter</em> that Tariq’s departure was due to “continued shifts” in the production schedule.</p> <p>“I’m eager to support and see how the next director builds on the foundation we’ve set,” he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjCVcWis_YW/?igshid=ZmVmZTY5ZGE=" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Instagram regarding his exit. “I’ll now be joining the project as an EP [executive producer] as I move on to what’s next.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Marvel Studios decided just a few days later to pause the project and “take some extra time” to find a new director and develop the script. </p> <p>In November, Yann Demange (<em>White Boy Rick</em>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/jose-martinez/marvel-blade-mahershala-ali-new-director-yann-demange" rel="noopener">took over as director</a>. Michael Starrbury was also tapped to pen the new script as Marvel wanted <em>Blade</em> to take on a darker tone. </p> <p><em>Blade</em> was originally scheduled to be released in theaters on Nov. 3, 2023, but has been pushed back to Sept. 6, 2024. </p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/mia-goth-marvel-blade-reboot-mahershala-ali">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/mia-goth-added-to-marvels-blade-reboot-starring-mahershala-ali/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Original ‘Blade’ Alum Stephen Dorff Trashes Marvel Reboot</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/original-blade-alum-stephen-dorff-trashes-marvel-reboot/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/original-blade-alum-stephen-dorff-trashes-marvel-reboot/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2023 04:41:23 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[black-adam]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blade]]></category> <category><![CDATA[criticism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment-superhero]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mahershala-ali]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marvel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marvel-cinematic-universe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marvel-studios]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[reboot]]></category> <category><![CDATA[superheroes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vampires]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/original-blade-alum-stephen-dorff-trashes-marvel-reboot/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Stephen Dorff has gotten himself into another entirely one-sided verbal spat with Marvel Studios over its upcoming reboot of Blade led by his True Detective co-star Mahershala Ali. “My life is pretty weird, but look, I love all kinds of movies,” Dorff, who starred in the original 1998 Blade film, said in an interview with the Daily Beast in response to his […]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br /> </p> <div> <p>Stephen Dorff has gotten himself into another entirely one-sided verbal spat with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/marvel-studios" rel="noopener">Marvel Studios</a> over its upcoming reboot of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/blade" rel="noopener"><em>Blade</em></a> led by his <em>True Detective</em> co-star <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/mahershala-ali" rel="noopener">Mahershala Ali</a>.</p> <p>“My life is pretty weird, but look, I love all kinds of movies,” Dorff, who starred in the original 1998 <em>Blade</em> film, said in an interview with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/stephen-dorff-on-divinity-and-hating-marvels-worthless-garbage?utm_campaign=owned_social&utm_medium=socialflow&via=twitter_page&utm_source=twitter_owned_tdb&utm_campaign=owned_social&utm_source=facebook_owned_tdb&via=FB_Page&source=TDB&utm_medium=socialflow" rel="noopener">the Daily Beast</a> in response to his film interests outside of comedy. “If comic book movies were more like when I started when we made <em>Blade</em>, or the few that have been decent over the years, like when Nolan did <em>The Dark Knight</em> and reinvented Batman from Tim Burton, who’s obviously a genius…when they were interesting, like when Norrington did <em>Blade</em>, and Guillermo [del Toro] was fucking around in it.”</p> <p>The 49-year-old continued, “But all this other garbage is just embarrassing, you know what I mean? I mean, God bless them, they’re making a bunch of money, but their movies suck <em>[laughs]</em>. And nobody’s going to remember them. Nobody’s remembering <em>Black Adam</em> at the end of the day. I didn’t even see that movie, it looked so bad.” </p> <p>In true “<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/allreactionvids/status/1528991325160448000?lang=en" rel="noopener">what he say fuck me for?</a>” fashion, Dorff criticized Dwayne Johnson’s DC tentpole twice. When asked about finding mainstream material similar to <em><a target="_blank" href="https://festival.sundance.org/program/film/638a1828d406b270b8f2cdd4#:~:text=Set%20in%20an%20otherworldly%20human,his%20father's%20once%2Dbenevolent%20dream." rel="noopener">Divinity</a></em>, the actor said that if major studios or DC were interested in “doing cool things,” they would seek out the next Eddie Alcazar, the director of <em>Divinity</em>, adding with a laugh, “Not making <em>Black Adam</em> and worthless garbage over and over again.” </p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“Marvel is used to me trashing them anyway,” Dorff said. “How’s that PG <em>Blade</em> movie going for you, that can’t get a director? <em>[laughs] </em>Because anybody who goes there is going to be laughed at by everyone, because we already did it and made it the best. There’s no Steve Norrington out there.”</p> <p>Norrington was the director of the original <em>Blade</em> film. As for the upcoming reboot, <em>White Boy Rick</em> director Yann Demange <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/marvel-blade-mahershala-ali-new-director-yann-demange" rel="noopener">took over</a> after Tariq Bassam <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/blade-director-bassam-tariq-exits-mahershala-ali-starring-film" rel="noopener">stepped down</a>.</p> <p>Dorff starred directly across Mahershala Ali in the franchise-reinvigorating third season of HBO’s <em>True Detective </em>in 2019.

The next year he <a href="https://heroichollywood.com/stephen-dorff-mahershala-ali-blade-reboot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “I think he’ll do a great job with Blade and reinventing the franchise.

News of the role immediately intrigued movie buffs, who were eager to see how Cage would tackle the iconic character. Well, we know have our first look at what Universal Pictures has in store.</p> <p>On Wednesday, <a target="_blank" href="https://people.com/movies/see-nicolas-cage-as-dracula-on-set-of-renfield-exclusive/" rel="noopener"><em>People</em> magazine</a> published exclusive on-set photos of Cage donning the Dracula costume. The 58-year-old is seen in the streets of New Orleans rocking slicked-back hair, a red velvet suit, gaudy jewelry, long finger nails, and, of course, a sun-deprived pale face.</p> <p><em>Renfield</em><span> will co-star Nicholas Hoult (</span><em>Those Who Wish Me Dead</em><span>) as the titular character, who appears in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel as Dracula’s henchman. The film will be directed by Chris McKay (</span><em>The Tomorrow War</em><span>) with a script from Ryan Ridley (</span><em>Rick and Morty</em><span>).</span></p> <p>In his newly released <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gq.com/story/nicolas-cage-april-cover-profile" rel="noopener"><em>GQ</em> cover</a> story, Cage revealed his Dracula would be inspired by his father and rock legend David Bowie.</p> <p>“I’m trying to become the Thin White Duke for Dracula […]” <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/nicolas-cage-talks-fifth-marriage-says-it-will-be-his-last" rel="noopener">said Cage</a>, who also donned fangs for 1988’s <em>Vampire’s Kiss</em>. “August Coppola’s coming back.

Wasn’t nobody really asking him like that. So for him to come out and say that, somebody I look up to so much, I sincerely appreciated that. So thank you, brother.”</p> <p>As for any multiverse-related possibilities of Snipes popping back up in the role in some form, Ali was expectedly reticent to confirm or deny any such thing. “I can’t talk about anything,” he said. “I can’t even talk. They put the hush down. Yeah, I really can’t talk about anything.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>As for the pressure of the role, which is something he previously spoke about in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/mahershala-ali-embracing-added-layer-of-pressure-that-comes-with-playing-blade" rel="noopener">a recent <em>Late Show</em> interview</a>, the two-time Oscar winner said he’s learning how to navigate it. “It’s a lot of pressure, it’s a lot,” he said. “But, you know, other people have done it and survived and succeeded so I’m gonna try to set myself up to do the absolute best work I can do.”</p> <p>Of course, Ali’s take on Blade—which technically kicked off with a voice cameo in this year’s <em>Eternals</em>—doesn’t mark the first dance with Marvel for the actor. Earlier into Tuesday’s interview, around the 22-minute mark, Ali reflected on his appearance in Netflix and Marvel Studios’ <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/luke-cage" rel="noopener"><em>Luke Cage</em></a> as Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes. </p> <p>Leading into his explanation of why he agreed to take that part, Ali spoke on his larger artistic goals, and how important constant growth is to prevent being mired in audience familiarity.</p> <p>“It was important for me to move on to keep building toward what I saw for myself. … I wanna move up. I just don’t wanna be on somebody’s show always supporting other people’s narratives,” Ali said. “So <em>[Luke Cage</em> creator Cheo Hodari Coker] came to me doing <em>Luke Cage</em> and he was like, ‘Yo, you wanna do this show? And I had just gotten off of <em>House of Cards</em>. He was like, ‘He’s gonna die.’ I was like, ‘Cool.’ That’s the only reason I did it, though, because they were going to kill him. I wouldn’t have done it otherwise because I had just gotten off of a show. I didn’t want to get stuck.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>As an actor, Ali added, getting “stuck” in the eyes of viewers as one character is equivalent to death. Around the 23:44 mark, Charlamagne tha God jokingly brought up the character of Blade in this context, prompting further explanation from the actor.</p> <p>“I hear you and that was a real concern and for me,” he said. “It’s always been about trying to diversify and make sure that I wasn’t repeating or playing the same character or making sure that I’m always pushing myself. … If I don’t feel uncomfortable, then I know I’m not growing.”</p> <p>Going even further, starting around the 24:42 mark, Ali touched on the unique challenges of taking on a character of this magnitude while also treating it with the same level of seriousness he would any other character, Marvel or not.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“There’s so much about that that is challenging in general,” he said. “I got my hands full, and even in doing it and wanting to do other stuff. I don’t wanna just be Blade. That is just one character. And honestly, as huge as that is [and] as huge as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is and all of that is amazing, all of these characters are important to me equally. You know, if you had five children, you’re trying to take care of all of them kids. … I love this work so I treat ’em all equally.”</p> <p>Coverage of Ali’s aforementioned Colbert interview included a smattering of focus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/mahershala-ali-blade-eternals-voice-cameo-1235056872/" rel="noopener">on</a> the actor saying he had lost sleep over the <em>Eternals</em> cameo, specifically due to the unique challenges of having to debut his version of the character without being able to fully develop a visual and auditory interpretation. Charlamagne brought this up around the 25:25 mark, at which point Ali reiterated his intention behind that statement.</p> <p>“It’s just something that felt a little premature because otherwise you would never do that,” Ali said. “But Marvel has their ways of approaching things and building anticipation, which I love and respect. So again, it’s just a new challenge.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>It’s not clear when, exactly, fans will get their first look at Mahershala Ali in full Blade form. In the meantime, eyes are on director Benjamin Cleary’s <em>Swan Song</em>, out Dec. 17.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /></div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/mahershala-ali-blade-co-sign-wesley-snipes-accepting-luke-cage-role-character-die">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/mahershala-ali-talks-blade-co-sign-from-wesley-snipes-luke-cage-role/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Kim Kardashian Suing Alabama Doctor for Using Her Face to Promote Vampire Facial</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/kim-kardashian-suing-alabama-doctor-for-using-her-face-to-promote-vampire-facial/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/kim-kardashian-suing-alabama-doctor-for-using-her-face-to-promote-vampire-facial/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 08:02:21 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[alabama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[court]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment-other]]></category> <category><![CDATA[doctor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[facial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kim-kardashian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lawsuit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lawsuits]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[skincare]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vampires]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/kim-kardashian-suing-alabama-doctor-for-using-her-face-to-promote-vampire-facial/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Kim Kardashian is suing an Alabama doctor for using her name and likeness to promote the “vampire facial” that the star helped popularize back in 2013.

In characteristically self-promoting fashion, he describes himself alternatively as the ‘Orgasm Doctor’ and the ‘Calvin Klein of medicine,'” the court docs state, according to <em>E! News</em>. “To that end, while he appears to maintain a small practice in Alabama, most of his time is spent touting the various cosmetic procedures he has purported to trademark—including, as relevant here, the Vampire Facial.”</p> <p>The model reached out to the doctor, who refused to stop using her name in relation to the facial. “When Ms. Kardashian reached out to Runels and his trademark attorney to demand that he cease using her name and likeness without her consent, he not only refused to take down the pictures of her and references to her; he had the temerity to demand that she pay him,” the docs continued. “The Defendants’ use of Ms. Kardashian’s name and likeness is not, and never has been, authorized. The Defendants have never sought Ms. Kardashian’s permission to use her as a ‘face’ for their products and services, and Ms. Kardashian has never given such permission.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad"><span class="advertisement_text featured">POST CONTINUES BELOW</span></section> <p>Runels told his side of the story to <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em>. “She makes profit on getting attention and she used my names to get attention without asking and without paying,” he <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/kim-kardashian-west-suing-alabama-doctor-using-her-name-likeness-1261193" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a>, per the publication. “Would the photos and the show have gained as much views without my name?”</p> <p>Runels added, “It’s like the quarter back who has sex with the ugly girl, then wants to deny. She endorsed my procedures without my asking. Now she wants everyone to keep it a secret. She’s a public figure, she made it news, it’s legal to curate the news.”</p> <p><em>The Keeping Up With the Kardashians</em> star received the facial treatment during an old episode, but was disappointed with it and told her fans that she would never get one again. “A few years ago, I heard about a ‘vampire facial,’ and I was so intrigued,” she <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/kim-kardashian-west-regrets-vampire-facial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a> back in 2018. “It was really rough and painful for me. It was honestly the most painful thing ever!
