The actress who is now hailed for her work in outings such as Under the Skin, Jojo Rabbit, as well as the action-packed Marvel Studios films, recently spilled the tea about her hard time after working on the 2006 film Lost in Translation. In her Vanity Fair interview, Scarlett Johansson stated, “After ‘Lost in Translation,’ every role that I was offered for years was ‘the girlfriend,’ ‘the other woman,’ a sex object — I couldn’t get out of the cycle.” The actress then went on to state that back then, she felt it was her dignity now as an actor, also thinking that she couldn’t do much about what was going on with her.  Even her representatives did not help the actress from We Bought a Zoo back then to avoid such roles, and were simply reacting “to the norm. The industry worked like that forever.” As per the actress from The Prestige, …

Bill Murray Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Gene Hackman; Recalls How Late Actor Was ‘Difficult’ on Set With Wes Anderson

Published by Parlour News

Bill Murray has recently paid tribute to late actor Gene Hackman looking back fondly on his career. He recalled both the Oscar-winning actor’s greatness and the difficulties he had to work with on set. After Hackman’s death, Murray gave a frank interview with the Associated Press about their collaboration on The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). He described how the older actor was especially demanding of director Wes Anderson. Murray said, “He was a tough nut, Gene Hackman, but he was really good and he was really difficult.” Characterizing Hackman as a “tough nut,” Murray said that veteran actors tend to be difficult for new directors, and Hackman was no different. He would regularly challenge Anderson, who was then in his early 30s. Murray, who acted with Hackman in the movie, would frequently intervene to defend his friend. “Like, we can say it now, but he was a tough guy because older great actors do not give young directors much of a chance. They’re really rough on ’em. Gene was really rough on Wes and I used …

Dan Aykroyd, one of the original Ghostbusters stars, has shared his thoughts on whether he and Bill Murray will return for more films in the franchise. Aykroyd played Ray Stantz in the iconic movies and made his latest appearance in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. However, he expressed doubts about reprising his role in future projects. When speaking to the New York Post, Aykroyd explained that he doesn’t see the original cast returning again. “I don’t see that coming,” he said, adding that the franchise now has a new generation of characters and fresh ideas to carry it forward. “They’ve got a whole new cast, and they’ve got whole new ideas,” Aykroyd continued. He also voiced his support for this direction, saying, “They should advance it beyond the originals.” While Aykroyd feels it’s time to pass the torch, his co-star Ernie Hudson, who plays Winston Zeddemore, has a more open outlook. Earlier this year, Hudson told GamesRadar+ that he’s always available for more Ghostbusters projects. “I haven’t heard anything [about a sequel], but I’m the last guy …
