The Marvel actor and two-time Oscar nominee was airlifted to a hospital after an incident on his property near Reno, Nevada. Renner has a home close to Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, according to Deadline. The area was hit with a large storm New Year’s Eve and left 35,000 houses without power. Renner is in “critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today,” his spokesperson told Deadline....

Despite all the namedropping, and creative liberties, Carrey said no one is mad about their portrayal in “Memoirs and Misinformation.” “Nic Cage loves it, he’s out of his mind over it. He thought it was awesome. He was like ‘go forward!’ Immediately he was honored by the whole process. Joe Dangerfield sent me lovely emails about how much he loved it, and how much Rodney Dangerfield would have loved it....

“When the show was canceled, there was an offer from MTV to continue making the show at a much lower budget,” Apatow said. “And we all decided we didn’t want to do a weaker version of the show.” Apatow wrote and directed several episodes of “Freaks and Geeks,” as did creator Feig. The “Bridesmaids” filmmaker said that to make the series at a lower budget would mean losing “so much stuff and music and budgets....

The letter continues: “In this film, a white person adorns a Kazakh persona and then culturally appropriates and belittles everything we stand for. We, Kazakhs, are a small nation, but it does not mean that we are allowed to be targets for racism. Mr. Cohen [sic] states that his primary target is Trump and racist Americans. If this was the case, he would have created a fake country, as he did in the film ‘The Dictator....

The Emmy-winning actress, director, producer, and activist used her guest hosting gig on the July 20 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to help two fellow Screen Actors Guild members qualify for health insurance. “Acting is one of those jobs that seems very, very glamorous. Sometimes it is. But in reality it can also be very tough,” Washington said. “When I first started out, I had to supplement my income by being a substitute teacher, a yoga instructor, a hostess at a restaurant....

The “Clerks” director, who famously was offered to head up Warner Bros’ DC department in 1996, revealed that he will never work for Marvel or the “Star Wars” franchise due to the “rabid” fans of both IPs. “It’s a fool’s errand — you’re going to piss somebody off,” Smith told The Guardian. “Fandom is rabid and tribal. When I worked on ‘Masters of the Universe,’ I took a lot of heat from people who felt like I had ruined their childhood....

Her name is Angela Childs, she’s played by a coiled and squirrely Zoë Kravitz (sporting a blue “Amélie”-esque bob), and she hasn’t stepped foot out of her gorgeous Seattle loft since COVID-19 came to town. Nor has she needed to: The modern world was made for shut-ins, and Angela can get almost everything she requires at home, including no-strings-attached sex from the neighbor she watches from her window (an exasperated Byron Bowers), and a cushy paycheck from her job working for the Amygdala Corporation, which is days away from its IPO on the strength of a new Alexa-esque product called… Kimi....

“This process took about six weeks, and I probably colored the wig three times before I met Kristen,” Yoshihara said. “When we did the first fitting I knew the color wasn’t right, so I colored it again. In the beginning, [Kristen] didn’t want to wear a wig, I think because she didn’t have experience wearing a very good wig. Then she put this one on, and with the makeup, we got great feedback....

Known for his standup and comedic roles like 2017’s “The Big Sick,” Nanjiani wasn’t ready to take on the dramatic leading role of Chippendales founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee when creator Rob Siegel first approached him. But Nanjiani’s comedy career prepared him perfectly for the savvy megalomaniac behind this storied club. “I used to do a lot of sketches on a show called ‘Portlandia,’ and I always played a guy who was like king of a very small kingdom — he really loved power over it,” Nanjiani told IndieWire via Zoom....

“The Power of the Dog” director Jane Campion revealed who she’s rooting for the Best Actress category at the Oscars — plus who she wishes was included. Campion told The Hollywood Reporter that she’s surprised Lady Gaga was snubbed by the Academy. “One of the actors that I thought — in the lead female actress category — who I missed being there was Lady Gaga. I thought she was extraordinary,” Campion said....

“When I look back on that scene I can see exactly what I did wrong in that scene,” Gaga said in the podcast tied to her award-winning role in House of “Gucci,” which just won her a surprise New York Film Critics Circle prize. “I didn’t know how to listen in a scene! I was supposed to laugh, and it was sort of like, cue, laugh…. I see it and I go, ‘oh, that’s not a real laugh!...

Critically-acclaimed meta surreal series “Atlanta,” created by star Donald Glover, didn’t shy away from having Neeson address his past statements about seeking out a “Black bastard” who raped his friend 40 years ago. “It was horrible, horrible, when I think back, that I did that,” Neeson told The Independent in 2019. However, his film “Cold Pursuit” subsequently canceled its premiere soon thereafter and Neeson publicly apologized for trying to avenge his female friend....

A decade later, YouTube and Macdonald have doubled down with “Life in a Day 2020,” which leans into the gravitas — and what better year to get “deep” than 2020? Over 320,000 amateur videographers from 192 countries uploaded videos shot on July 25, 2020, and the footage could be anything. Some are performance works: a Black guy sings the Schubert Lied “The Elf King” in crisp, precise German (he’s a talent, but like all participants, uncredited); one teenage Italian girl poses coquettishly in the woods while talking about love and how great it is to be 18....

Recently, these systems failed a dear friend of mine. An actor, singer, and filmmaker who I worked with inside a prison, Charles Lawrence, needlessly died of COVID while incarcerated in a maximum-security prison in Indiana. One of the films we worked on together, “It’s a Hard Truth Ain’t It,” was just nominated for an Emmy, marking the first time anyone in prison has made a nominated film. “Hard Truth” was co-directed by 13 men from inside prison and released by HBO....

“I said, ‘That’s it, I’m moving to Denmark, and I’m going to do my best work there,” Bakalova said in an interview via Zoom. A few months later, at the age of 22, she was cast in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” as the fake Kazakh journalist Borat’s daughter, Tutar. She moved to L.A., and her career went in a very different direction. Bakalova not only holds her own opposite prank artist extraordinaire Sacha Baron Cohen; she also injects his incisive satire with a surprising emotional arc....

At age 18, Hamill, a student at Los Angeles City College, worked the drive-thru at Jack in the Box, where he practiced impersonations. “I had worked at another fast-food place when I was like 16, so I knew the routine,” Hamill told Insider. “I made shakes, I worked the grill, but I always aspired to work that takeout window.” And the window made for the perfect stage to hone his acting chops: “I thought you should talk like a clown, which is what I did,” Hamill remembered....

After Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) triumphantly leap from a building (a stunt the actors actually performed) and fly off into the horizon at the end of “The Matrix Resurrections,” you wouldn’t be wrong to start speculating about a sequel. And with studio IP recycling at lightspeed rates these days, another entry in the Wachowskis’ cyber-punk franchise might seem like an inevitability. Not so fast. In a recent interview with Collider, producer James McTeigue revealed that, for now, the “Matrix” team (which included director Lana flying solo this time without her sister Lilly) has no plans to develop further movies....

“This is such an incredible character and incredible group of actors and incredible filmmakers that I learned so much,” Gandolfini said in an Uproxx interview. “This is going to jump to the priority to get to work with David or anyone again. But I am not so much interested in playing 30-year-old Tony. I think if there’s an interesting part after this movie, before the show, that we can explore something about Tony that hasn’t been explored, in his youth, in his 20s....

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Gandolfini described “The Many Saints of Newark” as “an origin story through the eyes of Dickie Moltisanti, Christopher’s father.” Christopher Moltisanti was played on “The Sopranos” by Michael Imperioli, while Dickie will be portrayed in the prequel movie by Alessandro Nivola. Gandolfini added about the film, “The Tony Soprano we know has this beautiful vulnerability underneath and this rough exterior, but what if we flip that on its side and you watch a creative, hopeful, kind, curious kid get whittled down and formed into what he has to be?...

While filming “Morbius,” Leto reportedly used crutches even during bathroom breaks on set. Per an UPROXX interview with director Daniel Espinosa, “a deal was made” to expedite Leto’s elongated trips to the restroom, with production opting to wheel him in a wheelchair so he would still be in his physically impaired character’s state. Espinosa confirmed the claims to the outlet, saying, “Because I think that what Jared thinks, what Jared believes, is that somehow the pain of those movements, even when he was playing normal Michael Morbius, he needed, because he’s been having this pain his whole life....
