Russell’s upcoming new movie, but you’d’ve been wrong. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, not only will T-Swift have a part in the untitled project, but it has already wrapped filming in Los Angeles.

After the Cruella star explained to Kimmel that she used to watch the 1987 John Hughes movie on repeat while growing up, Stone proved it by nailing the iconic rant from the film. During the scene, Martin’s Neal Page says variations of “fuck” 18 times while going off on a Marathon Car Rental agent (played by Edie McClurg), who gets the final word by matter-of-factly stating Page is “fucked.” The speech is the sole reason why the otherwise tame Planes, Trai...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-26T17:05:01+00:00“>May 26, 2021 | 1:05pm ET Seth Rogen has spent his career cracking jokes about everything from prepubescent struggles to political stereotypes, and most of it is quite literally captured on film. It may come as a surprise, then, that Rogen is distancing himself from fellow comedians who believe cancel culture will be the death of their industry. In a new interview with Good Morning Britain, Rogen said that he’s accepted some jokes in his older movies have aged poorly because that’s “the nature of comedy,” not “cancel culture.” “I think conceptually those movies are sound and I think there’s a reason they’ve lasted. Jokes are not things that necessarily are built...
