Gal Gadot says 3rd Wonder Woman film still in the cards


Months after major changes at DC Studios cast doubt on franchise’s future and removed Patty Jenkins as director, Israeli actress says: ‘Nobody ever talked to me about a freeze’
Israeli actress Gal Gadot said in interviews published Wednesday that talks are continuing on a third Wonder Woman film, reassuring fans some nine months after her future with the franchise was plunged into uncertainty as a result of a shakeup at DC Studios.

The comments were made to ComicBook.com and to Kan news, and were published a week before Gadot’s new spy thriller “Heart of Stone” premieres on Netflix on August 11.
The US-based Israeli star portrayed the superhero in 2017’s “Wonder Woman” and 2020’s “Wonder Woman 1984.” At the end of 2020, Warner Bros. announced that it would fast-track a third “Wonder Woman” film starring Gadot. She then reprised the role in a cameo in the film “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” in March.

But in December 2022, news broke that James Gunn and Peter Safran, who took control of Warner Bros.’ DC Studios a month before, were not on board with the vision for Wonder Woman 3 submitted by director Patty Jenkins, who was behind the camera for the first two films and has been removed from the upcoming project.
Gunn and Safran are largely set to reboot the DC film studios with a new slate of films apparently disconnected from the current shared universe.

“I love portraying Wonder Woman. It’s so close to and dear to my heart. From what I heard from James and from Peter… we’re gonna develop a Wonder Woman 3 together,” Gadot told ComicBook.com, which noted the remarks were made before the latest Hollywood actors’ strike was launched on July 13.
Speaking to Kan — which similarly aired the interview Wednesday but said it was recorded in June — Gadot said in Hebrew: “Nobody ever talked to me about a freeze [of the movie]. I was told I’m in good hands and I can be calm.”

But she acknowledged Jenkins was not taking part in the production: “We had been supposed to now be filming the third movie with Patty, beloved friend and very talented director, but that won’t be happening.”
In her upcoming film “Heart of Stone,” Gadot plays Rachel Stone, a highly trained intelligence agent who is also a member of an even more secret international organization with no political or national allegiances, called The Charter, that works to preserve world peace. However, when villain Keya Dhawan (Bollywood A-lister Bhatt) steals the “heart” of the Charter, which is the source of its awesome technological power, Stone sets off on a globe-trotting, heart-stopping, stunt-filled adventure to get it back.
According to the synopsis, “Rachel Stone is an intelligence operative, the only woman who stands between her powerful global peacekeeping organization and the loss of its most valuable — and dangerous — asset.”
It was produced by Pilot Wave, the company owned by Gadot and her husband, Jaron Varsano.
Gadot told Kan that various Israelis took part in the production, and that the theme song is by Israeli pop artist Noga Erez.

‘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.
