Jon Bernthal says he ‘lost a ton of respect’ for Kevin Spacey on the set of ‘Baby Driver’

Recalling his experience working opposite Kevin Spacey on the set of Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver in Atlanta last year, Jon Bernthal doesn’t have the fondest memories of the actor he once loved and respected. “I thought he was a bit of a bully,” Bernthal told Jim Norton and Sam Roberts about Spacey during an interview on Sirius XM. “I didn’t really care for the way he was behaving toward some of the other people on set.”

Though Bernthal said he wasn’t on the Baby Driver set too often, he said that, when he was there, Spacey “really rubbed [him] the wrong way” and he remembers “losing a ton of respect for him” during that time. “I remember at the time thinking, ‘Man, if that was a woman that he was talking to, I would’ve done something, I would’ve said something,’” Bernthal said. “I was really happy to sort of get out of there for that reason.”

Noting that he did not see anything relatively close to the allegations coming about Spacey happening on the set, Bernthal said he thinks “it would be weak of [him] to sort of pile on about some shit that I don’t know about, but the kind of man he was when I saw him, working with him, made me lose all respect for him and I was enormously disappointed.”

Since Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp first exposed Spacey’s long history of predatory behavior in an interview with BuzzFeed, recalling an encounter he had at Spacey’s New York City apartment in 1986 when he was just 14-years-old, multiple men have come forward accusing Spacey of sexual misconduct. Earlier this week, Spacey reportedly checked into a sex addiction rehab program at a clinic in Arizona.

‘The Shape of Water’ and ‘Big Little Lies’ dominate the 2018 Golden Globes nominations

Golden Globe Awards 2018

The nominations for the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced in Los Angeles this morning with Guillermo del Toro’s acclaimed fairy tale love story The Shape of Water earning seven nominations, the most of any film, including Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for Sally Hawkins.

Surprisingly enough, though, while some of the most talked about, beloved films of the year such as Get OutThe Big Sick, and The Florida Project were snubbed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, others such as The Greatest Showman and All the Money in the World, both of which weren’t necessarily expected to receive much praise this awards season, walked away with three nominations each.

The first ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ trailer teases an action-packed dinosaur rescue mission

Published

on

Life finds a way! Following a plethora of teasers and behind the scenes footage this past week, Universal debuted the first trailer for their highly anticipated sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Cast and crew preached during production that this installment of the Jurassic franchise would feature more suspense, dinosaurs and practical effects than any of its predecessors—and they really were not kidding.

In the new trailer, we are first greeted by Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) in a desolate bar as they become reacquainted. It is revealed that Isla Sorna and all the prehistoric creatures that inhabit the once thriving island are in peril as volcanic activity threatens their extinction once again. Claire urges Owen to accompany her on a mission to evacuate the island of the dinosaurs. (What could go wrong?)

This is the only true dialogue we get from the trailer that reveals any sort of plot details. What follows is a showcase of colossal-sized action and suspense; explosions echo across the island landscape, characters new and old navigate through scenes of destruction, and, of course, plenty of dinosaur action.

As promised, we are shown an incredible amount of dinosaur footage with species we are familiar with as well as some new to the franchise. The infamous Velociraptor, Blue, makes her return as she reunites with Owen. Many new dinosaur antagonists make their on-screen debut, including Baryonyx, which director J.A. Bayona first teased a while back. The most notable and cheer-worthy moment from the trailer comes when Pratt and crew come face to face with another new species known as Carnotaurus. Just as the beast takes a lunge at our heroes, the Tyrannosaurus from the previous films towers in and snaps the creatures neck, letting out a victorious roar. Oh, and did we mention we get our first look at Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm?

And, if you’re one of the many who were worried about the trailer revealing perhaps a little too much, have no fear. Executive producer Colin Trevorrow took to Twitter to assure fans that everything in the Fallen Kingdom trailer “is from the first 57 minutes” of the film. All that action in just the first half of the film? As a massive fan of the Jurassic franchise, I am thrilled to see what Bayona has in store for this installment.

If this trailer is any indication of what’s to come we are in for perhaps the grittiest Jurassic film yet. At the very least, with Fallen Kingdom, we’re assured visually breathtaking sequences of both CGI and practical effects as they appear to be a dramatic upgrade from Jurassic World, while it also appears Bayona is bringing some of his horror roots back to his latest project.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom also stars Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, and James Cromwell, and will open in theaters on June 22, 2018.

Sony is shifting the release date for ‘All the Money in the World’ to Christmas Day

All the Money in the World

As director Ridley Scott continues to add the finishing touches to All the Money in the World following costly last-minute reshoots to remove and replace disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, who was accused of sexual misconduct by 15 accusers last month, five of which who said they were teenagers at the time, with Christopher Plummer in the role of billionaire J. Paul Getty, TriStar Pictures is shifting the release date for the upcoming drama by just a few days.

According to a press release issued by the studio on Thursday morning, All the Money in the World will now open nationwide on December 25 as opposed to the original December 22 release date that was featured in the film’s most recent trailer that debuted last week.

All the Money in the World, which was written by David Scarpa and is based on the book of the same name by John Pearson, tells the true story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother to convince his billionaire grandfather to pay the ransom.

With an all-star cast that also includes Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, Charlie Plummer, Romain Duris, and Timothy Hutton, it should be interesting to see how well All the Money in the World fares at the box office—recent tracking shows the film debuting to a rather disappointing $6 million over the four-day holiday weekend.
