The PR after the Meghan and Harry interview has been pretty desperate and transparent but I am LOSING it over this headline, what a gift
The reactions. I can’t stop laughing.
Lost it at the rock’s tweet
I’m not sure which is funnier. Stanley Tucci saying that Ryan Reynolds is a sexier bald man than Prince William when he has a full head of hair, or Stanley Tucci saying that TILDA SWINTON is a sexier bald man than Prince William.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 'moved’ by mental health support
Dwayne Johnson says he’s been “moved” by fans’ reaction after opening up about his struggles with mental health.
In an interview earlier this month the star said he’s battled depression many times during his career.
Dwayne told Newsbeat the response he’s received has been “phenomenal”.
“It was really overwhelming and thousands of people responded,” The Rock said at last night’s premiere of his new movie, Rampage .
“It all started when I helped a man [a fan who was fighting his own battle with depression].
"I said, 'hey, you’re not alone, we all go through it’.
"One of the most important things that I know helped me with the multiple times that I had gone through my own episodes of depression, was making sure that I was talking to people.”
Depression doesn’t discriminate’
Now one of Hollywood’s highest paid actors, The Rock has spoken in the past about watching his mother try to kill herself when he was just 15 years old.
“She got out of the car on Interstate 65 in Nashville and walked into oncoming traffic,” he recalled.
“Big rigs and cars were swerving out of the way. I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road.”
He added: “What’s crazy about that suicide attempt is that to this day, she has no recollection of it whatsoever. Probably best she doesn’t.”
He described reaching his lowest point where he didn’t want to go anywhere, do anything and was crying constantly.
“We as men have a tendency to hold all that in which is not healthy, it’s not good.
"Depression doesn’t discriminate so if my past can help then I’m happy to share.”
Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson’s “Ball and Chain” lands a deal with Netflix. The film will be produced by Emily making it the debut of her production company, Ledbury Productions. Dwayne will also produce under his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, with Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia alongside Kevin Misher for Misher Films.
Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are set to hit the screen together again in Superhero film “Ball and Chain”
Netflix is in talks to pick up the high-profile project that comes from ‘The Big Sick’ co-writer Emily V. Gordon.
After partnering on Disney’s The Jungle Cruise, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt will reteam for a new movie from The Big Sick co-writer Emily V. Gordon.
The duo are attached to star in Ball and Chain, an adaptation of the '90s comic of the same name by Scott Lobdell, which Gordon will adapt. The project is being described as a superhero story meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where a couple struggling in their marriage are equipped with superpowers. However, their powers only work when they’re together.
The high-profile package was shopped around with interest from multiple studios, but is looking likely to land at Netflix. Still, no deals are done.
Johnson will produce under his Seven Bucks banner with Dany and Hiram Garcia. Kevin Misher, who worked with Johnson and Seven Bucks on Fighting With My Family, will also produce, along with Blunt.
Blunt and Johnson were set to hit theaters with The Jungle Cruise on July 24, but the release was pushed back a year by Disney due to theater closures amid the coronavirus pandemic. The studio will now open Mulan on July 24.
Johnson will next be seen in the Netflix action movie Red Notice opposite Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. He is also set to star in the long-delayed DC feature Black Adam. The actor is repped by WME, TGC Management and Gang Tyre.
Blunt stars in A Quiet Place II, which was pushed to a September release after having to postpone its March theatrical debut due to coronavirus concerns. She is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer.
Gordon, who was Oscar-nominated for The Big Sick’s screenplay, most recently worked on the Amazon TV+ series Little America. She is repped by UTA and Schreck Rose.
In development since the early 2000s and formally announced in 2014, BLACK ADAM
is closer to the big screen with the release of its trailer.
With a release date of October, this film would go great with a chaser of Shazam! Fury of the Gods (release date December 16, 2022).
I didn’t see Marwan Kenzari (THE OLD GUARD, ALADDIN) in the teaser so I assumed his role is small. And who knows, maybe it is, but seeing him in Quintessa Swindell’s photo (Swindell with play Cyclone/Maxine Hunkel, granddaughter of Red Tornado), at least gives me hope that he has something substantive to do.

Could the title be a hint to the storyline?
-You won’t have The Wonder Twins to kick around anymore. The proposed HBO Max film that would have starred KJ Apa (RIVERDALE) and Isabel May (1883). The reason being, sources say, is that new leadership under the merged Warner Bros. Discovery feels that they should be theatrical first minded, also the budget expected to be too much for what was considered niche characters.
-We Need to Talk About KevinThe Flash.
Rumours was that WB leadership met to discuss their Ezra Miller problem in light of the actor’s very public and very asinine behaviour that has gotten Miller arrested and hit with a restraining order.
There is no way WB will digitally replace Miller as some people thought would be a solution. Time will tell if Miller can get it together a year from now in time for the press tour for the film so that they won’t be a massive embarrassment. And if Miller doesn’t get their act together, we’re dealing with the multiverse, baby. There are other Flashes in other timelines.
