Chris Pine's publicist thought it just wasn't their day, or week or month (or year) when they landed in Italy to attend the Venice Film Festival last summer. The 42-year-old actor felt like he pulled out all the stops for his debut at the star-studded premiere of "Don't Worry Darling" in September, only to be told he looked like Jennifer Aniston's beloved Rachel Green character from "Friends." "Why did Chris Pine cut his hair? Esquire magazine asked Pine in a TikTok clip.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Chris Pratt’s voice role as Mario in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has been a point of debate ever since he was cast. Pratt is not Italian, after all, and many fans were left baffled when the movie’s first trailer dropped last October and revealed Pratt’s Brooklyn-heavy Mario voice. It’s not a concern for the film’s directors, Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath. The filmmakers told Total Film magazine that casting Pratt made sense given the Mario at the center of their story. “It’s a bit of an origin tale. It’s the story of Mario becoming Super Mario,” Horvath said about the film, adding that finding the perfect Mario voice meant finding an actor who could believably portray a plumber from Brooklyn who is “a blue-collar guy from a family of Italian immigrants.”

So, what’s the latest on “Star Trek 4“?  J.J. Abrams certainly sounds bullish on the film’s future.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Evanna Lynch is the latest “Harry Potter” star to comment on the ongoing controversy regarding author and franchise creator J.K. Rowling’s gender beliefs, which have been routinely criticized for being anti-transgender. Lynch starred in the “Harry Potter” film franchise as the quirky Luna Lovegood. Back in 2020, Lynch deleted her Twitter after commenting on Rowling’s controversy. The actor said “it’s irresponsible to discuss such a delicate topic” as transgender rights on Twitter and “I wish [Rowling] wouldn’t,” but she added, “That said, as a friend and admirer of Jo I can’t forget what a generous and loving person she is.” Lynch received blowback at the time for supporting Rowling. In a new interview with The Telegraph, Lynch opened up about her relationship with the controversial author. The two first linked up long before Lynch joined the “Harry Potter” movies. The actor was 11 and living with anorexia and wrote a letter to Rowling about her struggle. The author responded and sent Lynch “incredible, wise letters” while she was in recovery.

At the time, Matt Shakman (WandaVision) was attached to direct, but he’s since departed the project to helm Marvel’s Fantastic Four.Speaking in an interview with Esquire, Abrams, who is a producer on the fourth outing, provided an update on the film’s progress. “I will say it’s the first time [since the original reboot] that we have a story that feels as compelling as the first one,” Abrams said.In the same interview, Pine shared that this was news to him: “I don’t know anything.

Fans were shocked as Harry Styles was seemingly caught on camera spitting on movie co-star Chris Pine at last year's Venice Film Festival. Back in September last year, as the actors were doing press work for their film Don't Worry Darling, Harry, 28, caused a social media storm after fans speculated he spat in his fellow actor's lap. The pair were sitting alongside Harry's now ex-girlfriend and the film's director, Olivia Wilde, 38.

Harry is a very, very kind guy.”Pine followed up the statement by saying that he was on a flight when he was awoken by his publicist, who was scrambling to craft a message about the rumours of the incident that had flooded social media.“It does look, indeed, like Harry spitting on me.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director What’s going on with Paramount’s “Star Trek” film franchise? Don’t ask Chris Pine, even though he’s one of its headlining stars. Pine has played Captain Kirk in three “Star Trek” movies, and he is painfully out of the loop when it comes to the long-delayed and long-overhauled fourth movie. Directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Noah Hawley developed “Star Trek 4” scripts that never got off the ground. “WandaVision” director Matt Shakman was the most recent filmmaker attached to “Star Trek 4,” but he left the project to shoot Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” reboot instead. Paramount announced last September it was removing “Star Trek 4” from its release calendar. As part of Chris Pine’s new Esquire cover story, franchise producer J.J. Abrams said the “Star Trek 4″ script is in a good place. “I will say it’s the first time [since the original reboot] that we have a story that feels as compelling as the first one,” he added. But even still, Pine is out of the loop.

Finally! Spitgate explained!

No, Harry Styles didn’t spit on Chris Pine.

proved to be a very ironic title for director Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the Warner Bros. film's release.From the film's early casting shakeups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner, Jason Sudeikis, and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.While the drama had largely been between Wilde, LaBeouf and Florence Pugh, Styles and co-star Chris Pine were dragged into the rumor mill over «spitgate» (it never happened!) at the Venice Film Festival — which has been filled with drama for the film on all fronts.With the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head in September as the actor accused the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde supposedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it certainly felt like risked being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Nicolas Cage is making his Dracula debut in Universal Pictures’ upcoming horror comedy “Renfield,” and he’s already chomping at the bit to play the iconic bloodsucker in an expanded capacity. Cage’s Dracula in “Renfield” is a supporting role, as the film’s protagonist is the vampire’s long-suffering servant (played by Nicholas Hoult). The Oscar winner spoke to Total Film magazine about eyeing another Dracula project where he can better explore the psyche of the vampire. “You know, there are some minor moments here where you get to see some of the pathos in Dracula’s eyes,” Cage said. “That made me think that maybe one day I might like to try for a whole movie where you’re really understanding the psyche of the character. I didn’t really have the time to delve into that here.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Selena Gomez spent five years, 106 episodes and one television movie as the face of Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” franchise. When she outgrew her Disney image and became a pop star and film actor, she left many of the relationships she forged on “Waverly Place” behind. Joining former co-stars Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise on the “Wizards of Waverly Pod” podcast, Gomez admitted that one of her biggest mistakes in life was losing touch with her Disney family. Stone and DeLuise played Gomez’s best friend and father on the Disney hit, respectively. “I think I slowly became kind of shamed. I felt ashamed of the decisions that I made,” Gomez told her former “Waverly Place” co-stars. “I didn’t want you guys to see me in the state that I was in, because A, you would have told me the truth, which terrifies me, and B, I didn’t want to let you down.”
