DEADPOOL 2---Ryan Reynolds released new artwork for the sequel.
SKYFALL---the original plot for the movie had a young M having an affair with a KGB agent during the Cold War. In the present, villains use her past affair to blackmail M. The ending has James Bond killing M in order to protect MI6.
THE TURNING---Mackenzie Davis (THE MARTIAN) and Finn Wolfhard (IT, STRANGER THINGS) star in this movie underway based on Henry James' THE TURN OF THE SCREW. The 1961 movie THE INNOCENTS was a previous movie version.
WALT DISNEY COMPANY---Disney's deal to buy 20th Century Fox movies and television properties for $66.1 billion means Disney will acquire Fox franchises including ALIEN, PREDATOR, X-MEN, AVATAR, DIE HARD, PLANET OF THE APES, KINGSMAN and the FANTASTIC FOUR.
SEX SCANDALS---Salma Hayek commented on rejecting sexual advances by producer Harvey Weinstein during the filming of FRIDA, "No to opening the door to him at all hours of the night, hotel after hotel, location after location, where he would show up unexpectedly, including one location where I was doing a movie he wasn't even involved with. No to me taking a shower with him. No to letting him watch me take a shower. No to letting him give me a massage. No to letting a naked friend of his give me a massage. No to letting him give me oral sex. No to my getting naked with another woman. No, no, no, no, no...The range of his persuasion tactics went from sweet-talking me to that one time when, in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, 'I will kill you, don't think I can't.' "
After she refused, he demanded to have more sex in the movie, βHe had been constantly asking for more skin, for more sex. Once before, Julie Taymor got him to settle for a tango ending in a kiss instead of the lovemaking scene he wanted us to shoot between the character Tina Modotti, played by Ashley Judd, and Frida.
I arrived on the set the day we were to shoot the scene that I believed would save the movie. And for the first and last time in my career, I had a nervous breakdown: My body began to shake uncontrollably, my breath was short and I began to cry and cry, unable to stop, as if I were throwing up tears.
Since those around me had no knowledge of my history of Harvey, they were very surprised by my struggle that morning. It was not because I would be naked with another woman. It was because I would be naked with her for Harvey Weinstein. But I could not tell them then.β
Tippi Hedren (THE BIRDS) said Alfred Hitchcock tried to kiss her, asked her to touch him and share romantic fantasies or he would ruin her career, "When he told me that he would ruin me, I just told him do what he had to do. I went out of the door and slammed it so hard that I looked back to see if it was still on its hinges.β
Also, ABC pulled the THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW from its schedule and fired judge Johnny Iuzzini after four women accused him of sexual harassment.
ON THE RUN---Kevin Hart stars in this comedy movie about a hitman whose target isn't what he expected.
NETFLIX---two new documentary series are underway. DIRTY MONEY is an investigative series that focuses on corruption and scandal in big business including Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal and HSBC bank which laundered money for drug cartels. ROTTEN is about corruption and real dangers in the food industry.
MR. ROBOT---USA Network renewed the series for Season 4.
