Netflix Really Wants You to Know Henry Cavill Is Still ‘The Witcher’ in Season 3


They’re using historical landmarks to shout at you.
In case you didn’t already know, Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher. No, wait, keep reading! He’s not leaving yet. That is the point Netflix are making, and they really, really want you to know that. They are hammering home that point with as much force as they can, and they’ve taken a very unique marketing approach to making sure as many people across the United Kingdom know all about it.

A message, beamed into several iconic locations across the UK, is serving something of a dual purpose – letting you know that you’ve still got the Geralt you know and love, and also, highlighting some lovely parts of the country. We suspect the United Kingdom Tourism Board are secretly thrilled by this public relations exercise.
“Yes, he’s still Geralt in season 3” is the message Netflix has chosen to broadcast in locations like The Shard building in London, as well as the English capital’s South Bank, and on the White Cliffs of Dover, and on the side of Edinburgh Castle in the capital city of Scotland. And, to be fair to the streamer, the projections certainly are eye-catching. Cavill will appear in three more episodes of The Witcher when the second part of Season 3 airs later this month.

Why is Henry Cavill Leaving?The short answer is, we don’t know for sure. We have a lot of speculation and hearsay, but the most consistent answer seems to be the old chestnut of ‘creative differences’. The announcement of his departure coincided with the revelation that Geralt had already been replaced by Liam Hemsworth.
It is reasonable to infer that there was at least a notable period of time between Cavill informing Netflix of his departure and the subsequent decision from the streamer to continue the series and find a new actor to portray Geralt. Additionally, it is plausible to assume that the casting process took some time, as it is unlikely that Hemsworth was already considered as a replacement at that point. Unless, of course, Hemsworth’s availability was already known, in which case Cavill’s decision to leave may have been known even earlier.

The timing also came around the same period in which Cavill returned to play Superman in Black Adam, announcing he had agreed a deal to reprise his role as Kal-El. It’s fair to say his unhappiness with the creative direction of The Witcher – Cavill is a noted advocate for sticking to the faithfulness of the stories – combined with the chance to return to his dream role, made the decision for him. Sadly for Cavill, he is no longer Geralt or Superman, but he’s got 40,000 other things taking up his time now.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
