Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) has signed on to star in Bad Apples, a project that’s described as “a biting satirical comedy with thriller elements”. The film will mark the English language debut of Swedish filmmaker Jonatan Etzler (One More Time) and is set to start filming in the UK in the spring of 2024. Bad Apples is being made under an Equity contract, so it will still be able to go into production even if the Screen Actors Guild isn’t over by then… although we hope it will be.
Scripted by Jess O’Kane, Bad Apples is based on the Rasmus Lindgren novel De Oönskade. It will tell the story of Maria (Ronan), a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds but unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student.

We’re all just Greta Gerwig girls, living in Greta Gerwig’s world. The filmmaker has officially ascended to the A-list of directors with “Barbie,” her third directorial effort. The existential comedy adapted from the Mattel doll line is one of the biggest movies of 2023, and is set to cross the line to $1 billion at the global box office. Perhaps more importantly, it’s a legitimate cultural phenomenon, getting everyone talking about its feminist themes and launching memes and viral trends.
The success of “Barbie” is a turning point for Gerwig, who across three films, has only seen the budget and scale available to her grow at an exponential rate. Once best known as a character actor — including co-directing Joe Swanberg’s mumblecore film “Nights and Weekends” — Gerwig made her proper solo directorial debut with 2017’s “Lady Bird.” Inspired (but not based!) on her childhood growing up in Sacramento, California,...

Greta Gerwig started out as an actor in movies like "House of the Devil" and the acclaimed "Frances Ha." In recent years, however, Gerwig has transformed into a remarkably successful director who finds herself behind one of 2023's most buzzed-about movies with "Barbie." The adaptation of Mattel's famed doll has become a downright cultural phenomenon and is poised to be one of the summer's biggest hits. While this may be the filmmaker's first foray into summer blockbusters, she has been behind the camera for major hits before, make no mistake.
Way back in 2008, Gerwig made her feature directorial debut with an indie called "Nights and Weekends." She co-directed the film with Joe Swanberg and, though received well at the time, it didn't make much of a dent commercially. Gerwig's acting career began to take off, so that's what she did for the better part of a decade. But when...

The summer’s most anticipated comedy is Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. After her two box office misfires of 2022 — “Amsterdam” and “Babylon” — Robbie is on the cusp of her first critical darling and giant financial hit in a long while. Two of her acclaimed performances brought her Academy Award nominations in the previous decade, so with “Barbie” opening in theaters, let’s look back at Robbie’s two Oscar races.
Her first Oscar nomination came in 2018 in the Best Actress category for her performance as Tonya Harding in “I, Tonya.” Written by Steven Rogers and directed by Craig Gillespie, the film tells the true-life story of Harding’s rise in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and how everything came crashing down. Robbie had been received Oscar buzz for at least one of her movies before this — Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,...

Filmmaker Greta Gerwig has directed three feature films, with the third one, “Barbie,” arriving later this month. The first two, “Lady Bird” and “Little Women,” were both big hits and actually both star Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet. You might think Gerwig would believe those two are her lucky charms, and she better make some room for them in “Barbie.” Well, film fans might be disappointed to know that neither Ronan nor Chalamet make an appearance in the new film.

“Barbie” is Greta Gerwig’s first film as a solo director without either Saoirse Ronan or Timothee Chalamet in the cast, but that doesn’t mean Gerwig didn’t try to find room for her beloved actors.
Speaking to CinemaBlend as part of the all-encompassing “Barbie” press tour, Gerwig revealed the “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” stars almost appeared in the forthcoming film in “specialty” cameos.
“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Saoirse] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo,” Gerwig told CinemaBlend. “I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much.”
Gerwig added, “But I love them so much.

The filmmaker opened up about wanting Chalamet and Ronan to cameo in the Margot Robbie-starring film after working with both of them in Lady Bird and Little Women.
“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Saoirse] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant.

Greta Gerwig is musing on what might have been in Barbie Land.
The “Barbie” writer-director revealed that both Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan were asked to make “specialty cameos” in the ensemble film, led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Gerwig channeled her mom-ergy when discussing working again with the “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” actors.

Saoirse Ronan revealed last September to People that she tried and failed to film a cameo in the upcoming “Barbie” movie, which is directed by her “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” filmmaker Greta Gerwig. It turns out Gerwig eyed even more “Barbie” cameos, including one that would’ve reunited her and Ronan with Timothée Chalamet. The Oscar nominee also appeared in both of Gerwig’s previous solo directorial features.
“Well, it was always going to have to be like a sort of smaller thing because she was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for,” Gerwig recently told CinemaBlend of having to scrap Ronan’s cameo. “And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo. I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy. Both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much.

While the comic book source material is always close to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's heart, the movies aren't afraid to pave their own way through one of the publisher's many classic stories. Along with changes to plots we thought we knew, new versions of old friends and foes pop up on the big and small screens -- and the results of these transformations aren't always what we expected.
Most of the time, the changes are refreshing, giving us a new view of a character that might've been first introduced in the 1970s, like Starfox, allowing them an opportunity to reboot some seriously dated morals. Or they introduce someone almost totally new, like Scarlet Scarab, to bring in a viewpoint that's never had the representation it deserved. But sometimes, the results are controversial, leading fans to argue that the MCU dropped the ball. It's a conflict that arises around villains the most,...

There may be no better example that shows what a chameleon actor Lee Pace is than his role as Ronan the Accuser in "Guardians of the Galaxy." Pace is virtually unrecognizable as the radicalized Kree enforcer, mostly thanks to the work done by makeup artist Lizzie Georgiou, who also helped finalize the looks for Yondu (Michael Rooker), The Collector (Benicio Del Toro), and the presumed leader (it's really Rocket) of the Guardians, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt). Without all the extensive makeup caked on, fans will know Pace as tech entrepreneur Joe MacMillan in AMC's "Halt and Catch Fire," and horror aficionados will remember him from Halina Reijn's housebound thriller "Bodies Bodies Bodies" from last year. Pace was also perfectly cast as the wise elf Thandruil in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."

The first film introduced a band of rag-tag rebels, the Guardians, led by Star-Lord, who ended up playing a pivotal role in the Infinity Saga, largely due to Gamora’s ties to Thanos.

James Gunn assembled a fun group of misfits when he brought the first Guardians Of The Galaxy to the screen. No one outside of hardcore Marvel comic fans had even heard of the team before the film premiered. Once fans saw the movie, they were a box office megahit. Suddenly everyone knew who Starlord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, and Gamora were. And they wanted more. The crew would appear again in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers Endgame, Thor: Love And Thunder, and most recently, the Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special.
In May 2023, James Gunn takes his final bow (at least for now) in the MCU as he starts his new job of co-running DC Films over at Warner Brothers. Along with him, many of the cast have stated that they will also be leaving the franchise behind. With Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3...
