Fans have always believed that the two actors were romantically linked to each other at the time. Fox was enquired about this in a 2018 interview. While being hesitant at first, the Transformers actress confirmed that her relationship with Labeouf was indeed romantic on set.

A case can be made that in the 21st century Bumblebee has become the most popular Transformer. He’s certainly the most loved Autobot after the big red fire truck we call Optimus Prime. This is in large part due to his starring role in the first live-action Transformers movie of 2007. Despite having almost no lines of dialogue—the poor robot lost his voice!—Bumblebee found novel ways of communicating with Shia Labeouf’s Sam Witwicky: he used music and created the sensation of your first car as a teenager being your best mate.
It’s a trick that was expanded on in the prequel spinoff Bumblebee (2018), and it might be getting a whole new dimensionality now thanks to the upcoming animated film, Transformers One. Due out in September, the movie takes place three billion years ago—so long that whichever Transformers canon it may be a part of is practically mooted.

With two months to go before the release of “Megalopolis,” things are about to get awkward.
Video has surfaced of director Francis Ford Coppola that shows the legendary director trying to kiss young female extras on the set of his ambitious sci-fi epic. Variety has obtained two videos (posted below) that were taken by a crewmember last year during the filming of a bacchanalian nightclub scene.
Two sources told Variety that Coppola appeared to act with impunity on set. And unlike traditional movies, Coppola financed the entire $120 million budget himself, so there were none of the traditional checks and balances in place. The videos would appear to corroborate a bombshell report in the Guardian that claimed the 85-year-old director “tried to kiss some of the topless and scantily clad female extras” and told them “he was ‘trying to get them in the mood.’” The Guardian story broke right before “Megalopolis...

Steven Spielberg has made some of the greatest films that will forever stand the test of time. The director has made films in every genre and has shown that he is a master at evoking awe and emotion in everything he does. In the 90s, Spielberg made two drastically different films based on World War II, considered among his best works.

While 1993 Schindler’s List, focused on a German industrialist saving a thousand Polish Jews, 1998’s Saving Private Ryan dealt with a group of soldiers trying to locate the titular Ryan in Normandy. Tom Hanks played the lead role in the latter but several actors like Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford were considered before the Forrest Gump star.

Although he has mostly used it for the right reasons, he also has a reputation for being ruthless when pushed. Megan Fox famously experienced the brunt of this trait. However, many believe Spielberg to also be the reason behind Shia Labeouf’s professional shortcomings. However, some would like to disagree.

Abel Ferrara isn’t scared of AI. In fact, he is embracing how “cool” the technology is, especially when it comes to dubbing.
Ferrara, who recently directed “Padre Pio,” told Deadline while at the Taormina Film Festival that AI made an Italian dub possible for the feature starring Shia Labeouf. “Padre Pio” premiered at Venice 2022 and was later released in 2023. An Italian release is taking place in July 2024.
“It looks like I directed in Italian, it’s very cool,” Ferrara said of utilizing AI for the dub. He added that while all of the actors sans Labeouf were Italian but spoke in English for the feature, the Italian dub is now “the perfect storm” of a cut.
“The kids acted in English, they get to watch it in Venice, they get to see it with an audience, they get the movie, they understand what they have to do then they...

Exclusive: Alongside prepping to shoot his next feature, veteran filmmaker Abel Ferrara is working on a book, he tells Deadline. Entitled Scene, Ferrara doesn’t categorize it exactly as a memoir, saying, “I’m trying to focus it more on the people that I’ve met and all the crazy sh*t in this business and around this business, than on myself. I got some crazy sh*t that’s happened to me for sure.”
Scene is due for release around the middle of next year, in Italy and the U.S. Ferrara wouldn’t be led as to who the American publisher is, but mused, “I can’t believe I actually got a book (deal).”

In the history of cinema, there have been actors who have taken extreme measures to completely immerse themselves in their roles. As evidenced by Christian Bale’s 62-pound weight loss to play an emaciated insomniac in The Machinist and Shia Labeouf extracting his own tooth for Fury. However, Jeremy Strong may have elevated his method of acting to a whole new level.

It’s been a rollercoaster journey for Mia Goth and Shia Labeouf before they finally found each other again and even welcomed a baby girl in 2022. After meeting on the set of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Vol. II in 2012, they have been in an on-and-off relationship.

Since shifting to acting a decade ago, Mia Goth has cemented herself as a modern-day scream queen and has earned major recognition for her performance in the X series. After joining forces with filmmaker Ti West, Goth headlined X and its prequel Pearl, in which she played the villain of the first film, and the third entry in the trilogy, MaXXXIne, has also opened to favorable reviews.
But despite enjoying an acclaimed filmography over the course of the last ten years, Goth still struggles with one aspect of the production process, which she detailed in a recent interview.

Francis Ford Coppola’s epic sci-fi drama Megalopolis has been long-awaited by the whole industry and completely failed during its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, but one big update might bring the controversial movie a bigger audience when it’s finally released this fall.
According to the most recent news, Megalopolis is “rated R for sexual content, nudity, drug use, language and some violence” by MPAA. This comes as a new intriguing detail nobody has unveiled before, yet it wasn’t a big surprise either given that Coppola’s films aren’t strangers to being marked as explicit ones.
Featuring a star-packed cast that includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza and Shia Labeouf, Megalopolis follows Driver’s Cesar Catilina, a bright architect who comes up with an ambitious plan to transform a city called New Rome into a sustainable utopia.

When he learned that Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis had secured a distribution deal with Lionsgate, Giancarlo Esposito was obviously stoked because it meant the highly-publicized passion project would have a chance to reach audiences beginning Sept. 27.
But he “specifically” was very excited for Coppola, who has shepherded the project since the 1970s and wound up putting a chunk of his personal fortune into the $120 million film to eventually make it happen (despite some challenges along the way). “He taught me how to be courageous,” Esposito told The Hollywood Reporter at the world premiere of MaXXXine on June 24. “He taught me to not ever give up, keep following through and put your money where your mouth is; have skin in the game.”

Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga and Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis have a lot in common if fans come to think of it. Both films have been in development for decades and both directors invested huge money into the films. Costner’s film was released on Friday and it could only earn $11 million, giving clear signs of bombing at the box office.

In a highly contentious legal battle, attorneys for British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs have fiercely objected to Shia Labeouf’s demands for her complete medical history as their October trial date approaches.
The case, filed in December 2020, alleges that Labeouf sexually and physically assaulted and battered Twigs while they were in a relationship between the years of 2018 and 2019.
Twigs’ legal team has argued that Labeouf’s attorneys are “improperly seeking Plaintiff’s private financial and medical information that has no bearing on the issues in this case,” according to court documents. The singer, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has already submitted to a psychotherapy exam and provided over 1,300 pages of documents for the upcoming trial.
Twigs’ lawyers contend that Labeouf’s team seeks “the entirety of Plaintiff’s medical history, going well beyond the injuries that are actually at issue” without any justification for why her “medical history, unrelated...

The singer, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, accused Labeouf of sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress during their relationship. The suit also includes similar allegations from Karolyn Pho, a stylist, and another ex-partner of Labeouf who accused the actor of drunkenly pinning her to a bed and head-butting her.

The movie was released in 2008 and featured Ledger as Joker, aka Arthur Fleck. Unfortunately, a few months before the film was released in the theatres, Heath passed away due to a drug overdose.

Will Smith Refused To Kiss Another Man On-Screen. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Before his reign as Box Office King, Will Smith was a freshman actor trying to make a name for himself outside the rap world. During this time, Smith took on his first movie role in 1993, playing a gay hustler but refusing to kiss his co-star on-screen.
In the 1990s, Will Smith took on his first movie role in Six Degrees of Separation, where he played a gay con man who hustles a wealthy couple in New York’s high society.
While the critics loved Smith, it was later revealed that the co-stars weren’t that fond of the actor’s behaviour on set. Multiple reports stated that Smith reportedly refused to kiss his co-star Anthony Michael Hall on camera. Years later, the Bad Boys star said he regretted that decision.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis has finally landed a US distributor, and it’ll hit American cinemas this September. More here.
The journey of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis to our screens is one of the most fascinating film stories of recent times. The self-financing, the reports of chaos on set and then the polarising reviews at initial screenings. It’s all added to the mythology that surrounds the return of Coppola, as he pursues his decades-long passion project in the face of naysayers and convention.
Despite the hullabaloo surrounding Megalopolis, the pieces have slowly fallen into place for the film.
It secured UK distribution a while back and is also set to get an IMAX run too, with the company expressing confidence in Coppola’s vision. European distribution is also in place meaning that one of the few remaining outliers for the project was America.

Despite receiving divisive reactions at the Cannes Film Festival, Lionsgate is ready to risk it for the biscuit with Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. Lionsgate is bringing Coppola’s science-fiction drama to theaters in the United States and Canada, says Adam Fogelson, chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. The deal spins out of Lionsgate’s existing relationship with Coppola’s banner Zoetrope Studios after Lionsgate distributed Coppola’s Apocalypse Now Final Cut, The Conversation, The Colton Club Encore, The Man and His Dream, and One From the Heart: Reprise. Megalopolis will be released in domestic theaters and IMAX on September 27, 2024.

Francis Ford Coppola’s sci-fi epic “Megalopolis,” which proved to be wildly divisive after its Cannes Film Festival premiere, has finally found a distributor. Lionsgate has signed a deal to distribute the film in theaters in the U.S. and Canada.
It will be released on Sept. 27. “Megalopolis” is playing in Imax, but it will likely share screens with Christopher Nolan’s 10th anniversary “Interstellar” rerelease. It’ll also have to relinquish those coveted premium large format screens a week later, as “Joker: Folie à Deux,” which was filmed with Imax cameras, lands on Oct. 4.
“Francis is a legend. For many of us, his gifts to cinema were one of the inspirations to devote our own careers to film,” Adam Fogelson, chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said in a statement. “It is a true privilege to work with him, and to bring this incredible, audacious, and utterly unique movie to theatrical audiences.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis has secured a US theatrical release after being picked up by Lionsgate for domestic distribution. The film will hit theaters in both the US and Canada on September 27th, 2024.

Francis Ford Coppola looks to “SNL” for his casting choices, at least when it came to cast member Chloe Fineman.
The actress told Variety that she has a Melania Trump impression to thank for landing her role in Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”
“Sometimes people go to weird shows that you don’t expect,” Fineman said. “It was 2019. I was [performing a sketch of] Ivana Trump and Melania FaceTiming. And I guess Francis was there, and he offered it from my weird Melania thing.”
She added, “You just never know who’s there.”
Fineman is part of the ensemble cast for Coppola’s self-financed “Megalopolis” that debuted at Cannes. Aubrey Plaza, Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia Labeouf, and more actors also star.
“I weirdly feel more at home in the acting stuff, because I’m really late in life to comedy,” Fineman admitted of appearing in the film. “I didn’t do my first comedy show...

In 2021, ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele was suspended following comments she made on a podcast, including calling parent company Disney’s vaccine mandates “sick” and questioning why Barack Obama considers himself Black when he was raised by his white mother. When she returned to her job, she felt she’d been sidelined from key on-air opportunities. So she dialed one of her closest friends, Chris Harrison, for advice. They’d gotten to know each other while co-hosting the Miss America pageant and the Scripps National Spelling Bee. He, too, had recently lost a big gig — as host of ABC’s The Bachelor, after defending a contestant accused of racism.
“Chris said, ‘I know who you need to talk to — my lawyer. He’ll be calling you momentarily,’ ” Steele remembers. “Within five minutes, Bryan Freedman was on the phone with me.” Steele left ESPN — she now has a podcast at Bill Maher...

Francis Ford Coppola hit the Cannes Film Festival last month to triumphantly celebrate the completion of his epic film “Megalopolis,” which he has been working on for nearly 40 years.
The celebrations were somewhat compromised, however, by mixed reviews for the film itself, as well as a Guardian report that alleged “chaotic behavior” on the set of “Megalopolis,” including the “Godfather” director reportedly “pulling women to sit on his lap” and “trying to kiss some of the topless and scantily-clad female extras.”
New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis interviewed Coppola in Cannes, and did not hesitate to raise the topic of the accusations. Coppola responded in a “rambling fashion,” Dargis wrote in an interview published Thursday. The filmmaker responded by first mentioning his mother Italia, who he said resembled Hedy Lamarr. “My mother told me that if you make an advance toward a woman, it means you disrespect her, and...

Peanut Butter Falcon filmmakers Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson have been tapped to adapt and direct the remake of Riders of Justice for Lionsgate.
Schwartz and Nilson also directed the feature Los Frikis, which earned the top jury prize at the Miami Film Festival. Their previous film, The Peanut Butter Falcon, a modern day take on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tale that starred Shia Labeouf and Dakota Johnson, became the highest-grossing indie film of 2019. That feature film debut was preceded by short docs about Alex Honnold, the subject of Free Solo.
Shawn Levy, Dan Levine of Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment are producing the Riders of Justice remake after Lionsgate earlier picked up the English-language adaptation rights to the Danish action-comedy directed by Anders Thomas Jensen.

The Indiana Jones movie franchise is one of the most well-known works of Steven Spielberg. Not only was it a popular and long-enduring title, but it also became a box-office success. More than the fame of the films, it was Spielberg’s personal life that changed forever.

Actors who have come after him have been influenced by his works and consider it a great honor if they ever get a chance to work with him.

Her L.A.-based Kindred Spirit banner saw a raft of its first projects debut at Sundance but, more recently, her co-production Silent Twins was selected in Un Certain Regard in 2022, while Dominic Savage’s Close To You premiered in Toronto last year. The company’s Mubi-acquired doc The Last Year of Darkness, which explores the lives of alternative Chinese youth, was awarded a Special Mention prize in the Next:Wave section at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival last year.

These days, Netflix’s global chart is reigned supreme by the 2007 neo-noir thriller titled Disturbia. This Shia Labeouf’s flick, which follows a teenage boy who starts spying on his neighbors and suspecting that one of them is a serial killer, gradually puts more and more suspense, until the main mystery is solved and the audience is relieved.
Surprisingly, Disturbia’s synopsis is really reminiscent of the plot of another thriller must-watch, and some Redditors believe it’s even better. It also explores the topic of serial killers, but from quite a different angle.
The movie’s story revolves around Julia, a young actress, who relocates to Bucharest with her husband but finds the city unwelcoming. There she learns of a murderer, dubbed the Spider by local media and notorious for decapitating his female victims.

Netflix viewers know for sure what old movies from the streaming’s collection need to be brought to light, and this time they opted for a Hitchcock-coded psychological thriller that initially hit the screens more than 15 years ago.
Starring young Shia Labeouf as a teenage troublemaker, Disturbia has climbed to number one position in Netflix’s top chart, according to the most recent data from FlixPatrol.
What Is the Movie About?
Initially released back in 2007, Disturbia is an homage of sorts to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller movie Rear Window as both flicks appear to share some similarities in their storylines.
Unlike Rear Window, where everything revolves around an injured photographer, Disturbia takes a closer look at outcast teenager Kale who, being strongly affected by his father’s recent death, gets into a fight with his school teacher after the latter had something to say about Kale’s late father.

So this is what economizing looks like in Cannes.
The rosé still flowed, though not as freely, and it was easier to get a reservation at the Michelin-starred restaurants that are usually booked months in advance of the film festival. There were still rooms to be had at the Hôtel du Cap, the posh resort where studio chiefs and movie stars typically stay. Most troubling, the deals — both for completed films that premiered in Cannes and the packages that hit the Côte d’Azur searching for financing — are taking much longer to close.
Even in the shimmering south of France there’s no escaping that the movie business, having endured Covid shutdowns and two devastating labor strikes, has lost much of its luster. Donna Langley, the chairman of NBCUniversal Studio Group, was blunt during a talk, noting that the domestic box office is down 20% and the global box office has...
