Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ‘Wonka’, has shared that everything in terms of production design was practically built for the movie. Talking about the same, the actor said, “Basically, we shot no scenes with a green screen. Everything was practically built, which was amazing. Every day, getting on the set in Leavesden, then shooting in London, where I’d never shot before it felt like entering this magical world that Paul King had realised and that David Hayman had stewarded — who famously stewarded ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Barbie’ and these other movies that have very distinct palettes, sets and feelings to three them.”
Timothee further mentioned, “So, this was one of these incredibly magical sets to walk on. Every set you walked on offered something new. Production designer Nathan Crowley, who’s worked on things like ‘Interstellar’, just did a fantastic job.”

Timothee Chalamet is set to play Bob Dylan in the forthcoming biopic A Complete Unknown, and he took inspiration from another star who delivered an Oscar-nominated performance in a musical biopic – Austin Butler.
The 32-year-old actor brought Elvis Presley to life in Elvis before joining Timothee in Dune: Part Two.
During a recent interview, Timothee opened up what he learned from Austin‘s performance. That included hiring the same team that Austin worked with while preparing for the movie.

Timothée Chalamet described a rallying email he received from Tom Cruise after the two star actors met.
The email came up in an interview with GQ after Chalamet revealed he was also inspired by Austin Butler’s commitment to “Dune Part Two.” Cruise also encouraged Chalament to hone his skills.
“After I met Tom Cruise, right after finishing the first ‘Dune,’ he sent me the most wonderfully inspiring email,” Chalamet said. It included a Rolodex of sorts of all the experts he might need for stunt training. A motorcycle coach. A helicopter coach. “He basically said, in Old Hollywood, you would be getting dance training and fight training, and nobody is going to hold you to that standard today. So it’s up to you. The email was really like a war cry.”

Eve Hewson Will Not be doing karaoke today. “I have to be really, really hammered to do karaoke,” the actress explains, walking through New York’s Central Park. “I would really have to be a whole bottle of tequila deep.” Not that she is opposed to such things (“I mean, I am Irish”), but it’s 10 a.m. on a Wednesday, and up until very, very recently, sober public singing — or sober singing of any kind, really — was a complete nonstarter. “Absolutely not,” she says. “Hard no.

To riff off LL Cool J, don’t call it a comeback, she’s been with us for years. After a six year break from the big screen between 2010-2016, Renée Zellweger storms back into awards season with a tour de force turn as the tormented, but resilient, Judy Garland in the third act of her career in Roadside Attractions/Ld Entertainment’s Judy. It was 1968 and the Wizard of Oz actress was penniless, with no choice but to become the marquee act at London dinner theater Talk of the Town; her personal life coming apart at the seams and drugs and alcohol continuing to take their toll, even eating into her onstage performance. Zellweger disappeared into the part with the same granular nuance and pitch perfect detail she has delivered previously in her rounded repertoire of characters including her best supporting actress Oscar winning turn as Ruby Thewes in Cold Mountain,...

Ladies and gentlemen, Emily Blunt can sing. Like almost of all of her co-stars in Rob Marshall's "Into The Woods," she proves that not only does she have a lovely singing voice, but that she can pull off Sondheim as well. The film hits theaters on Christmas Day and will wrap up another whirlwind year for Blunt. She gave birth to her first daughter in February, promoted the critically acclaimed "Edge of Tomorrow" for most of May and June (her first major action role), filmed the new Denis Villeneuve drama "Sicario" alongside Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin immediately afterward and is now in the middle of a long publicly (and awards) tour for "Woods."

They were both well-known television actresses in the '90s, and now Tori Spelling reveals her true feelings about Katie Holmes.
In her new memoir, “Spelling It Like It Is,” the "Beverly Hills, 90210" beauty opened up about meeting the "Dawson's Creek" star and stated she was "shy and engaging, and altogether pretty adorable."
Unfortunately the two ladies didn't see or contact each other until several years later when Tori ran into Katie at vocal coach Eric Vetro's studio.
While describing what happened, Tori wrote, "As I sat waiting outside his music room, I heard his prior appointment working with him in the other room. It was some actress singing off-key. That made me feel better. I heard him say good-bye and then the actress walked out of the room. It was Katie Holmes."
The 40-year-old actress continued to write, "I didn't know whether we should hug or shake hands.

It's a noble tradition. Think of Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady," Richard Burton in "Camelot," Anthony Quinn in "Zorba," Katharine Hepburn in "Coco," and Lauren Bacall in "Applause." And the list goes on. When accomplished actors who are untrained and inexperienced in the demanding disciplines of musical theater courageously jump off the diving board to leap headfirst into the genre, it can be a frightening yet exhilarating swim. The challenges are enormous, but the rewards can be sweet.Fresh off his five-year run on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," Emmy-nominated stage and screen actor T.R. Knight has taken on the multifaceted role of Leo Frank, an ill-fated Jewish factory superintendent in 1913 Atlanta, in an acclaimed revival of the fact-based, Tony-winning musical drama "Parade" by composer-lyricist Jason Robert Brown and librettist Alfred Uhry. The production is currently playing at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. The payoffs for Knight have been intense personal satisfaction,...
