Lucy Liu Revisits Fight with Bill Murray on Charlie’s Angels Set: “I’m Not Going to Sit There and Be Attacked”
Whoa, Charlie. In a new interview this week, Lucy Liu looked back on her infamous argument with Bill Murray on the set of 2000’s Charlie’s Angels. Appearing on the Los Angeles Times’ Asian Enough podcast, the actress recounted the altercation, which she explained stemmed from Murray being unaware that the scene being filmed had been altered. According to Liu’s memory of the event, the actor’s ire ended up being directed at her, with the argument eventually becoming what the star called a “one-on-one communication.” “I won’t get into the specifics,” she said, “but it kept going on and on. I was, like, ‘Wow, he seems like he’s looking straight at me.’” Advertisement Related Video Once Murray’s language and attitude toward her became, as she recalled, “inexcusable and unacceptable,” Liu...
Lucasfilm Hires Viral YouTube Deepfaker Who’s Better Than Them
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. That classic piece of advice is so accurate that apparently not even major Hollywood studios are too good to follow it. Case in point: Lucasfilm just hired Shamook, the digital artist responsible for several Star Wars deepfakes that went viral on YouTube for being significantly more believable than the studio’s own CGI efforts. The two videos that most likely caught Lucasfilm’s attention are deepfakes of Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian and of Tarkin and Princess Leia in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The former is just shy of 3 million views in under six months, making it Shamook’s second most popular video behind the one with Harrison Ford in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The Rogue One edits are the most noticeably improved by Shamook’s work, as they rid Tarki...

More Than 800 Activision Blizzard Employees Outraged at Company’s Response to Sexual Harassment Allegations
More than 800 employees from Activision Blizzard have come together to issue an open letter to the developer’s leadership team expressing outrage and calling for immediate rectification. Last week, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing filed a lawsuit against the gaming giant over alleged sexual harassment and gender discrimination, claiming that the studio had fostered a “frat house” work environment that encouraged toxic behavior.

In a letter addressed to the company’s leadership that was subsequently obtained by Polygon, a group of more than 800 staff called Activision Blizzard’s response “abhorrent an...
Twitter is Questioning Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ Family Bathing Regimen
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are making headlines, but this time it is not related to blockchain. Appearing on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s Armchair Expert podcast, the two revealed some details on their family’s skincare regimen. Reinforcing the idea that people should not be washing the natural oils off their skin every day, Kunis informed the host that as she did not have hot water growing up, the idea of not showering each day was normal to her. It was shortly after this when Kutcher commented on his children with, “Now here’s the thing, if you can see the dirt on them, clean them. Otherwise, there’s no point. I wash my armpits and my crotch daily, and nothing else ever. I got a bar of Lever 2000 that delivers every time. Nothing else.” And with this bit of info from the celebrity ...

Next ‘Predator’ Movie Will Revisit First Predator to Ever Visit Earth
Back in November last year, a new installment of Predator was confirmed with 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg at the helm. Now, almost 9 months later there’s finally more information regarding the new sequel. According to reports, Trachtenberg will be revisiting elements of the original Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring film from 1987, exploring what producer John Davis calls “the ingenuity of a human being who won’t give up, who’s able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force.” The plot itself will follow the first Predator to ever set foot on Earth, revealing an origin story that has yet to be told over the past four decades. Producer John Fox also hinted that the film could be somewhat of a period piece, ...
