Shia Labeouf may have played the fan-favorite, charming, and considerably awkward Sam Witwicky in the Transformers film series, but his real-life personality differs by major extents. To say the least, the actor, filmmaker, and performance artist is one of the most confident people in the entire industry with an aggressive personality that directly contradicts Sam’s.

This has been justified by all the times the actor has perfectly displayed his strength without hesitating. But while his knocking out Tom Hardy, who is easily one of the most badass actors in all of Hollywood’s entertainment industry, in a friendly brawl is one thing, the actor recently once again almost got into a street fight that could have ended in an absolute disaster.

Blink Twice star Adria Arjona has the wind at her back.
After her powerful turn as Bix Caleen on season one of the Emmy-nominated Andor, she followed it up with a scene-sealing performance in Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, which included Arjona’s contender for line delivery of the year. (More on that later.) She’s also starring in the upcoming Los Frikis, Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson’s follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2019 film, The Peanut Butter Falcon. And with Andor season two already in the can, Arjona is currently filming yet another highly anticipated series in Criminal, which Ed Brubaker and Jordan Harper adapted from Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ comic book series of the same name. (Co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are helming the Amazon Prime series, which counts Charlie Hunnam, Richard Jenkins, Arjona, Emilia Clarke and Luke Evans as series regulars.)

Dakota Johnson is arguably one of Hollywood’s most intelligent actors. She has a reputation for not suffering fools easily. The actress, who never fails to articulate the absurdity of a situation in public, once slammed social media users dragged into the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Over the recent years, Dakota Johnson has endeared herself as one of the few celebrities who have dished out unfiltered ripostes.
The actress’ dry sense of humour and quick wit were on full display during her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she handled a wardrobe function with grace befitting a movie star often saddled with untimely crises.

The Madame Web actress made her name known all around the world with the erotic drama trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey (2015 - 2018) and the horror film Suspiria (2018). However, Dakota Johnson is also very much of a comedy performer.
Although the romantic comedy How to Be Single (2016) and the dramedy The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019), that starred the actress, weren’t quite successful, the 2022 movie that is now holding the second place on HBO’s global top is truly a must-watch.
The plot of this comedy-drama revolves around Lucy, a 32-year-old woman who seems not to make it through coming of age yet. Her only interest in life is her best friend Jane, who is about to leave her soon as she announces her moving to London.

Exclusive: John Hawkes (True Detective: Night Country) has joined the cast of Prime Video‘s graphic novel series, Criminal, in a recurring role. He joins the previously announced cast of Charlie Hunnam, Adria Arjona, Richard Jenkins, Kadeem Hardison, Logan Browning, Pat Healy and Taylor Selé.

Netflix’s live roast of NFL great Tom Brady made it into the Nielsen streaming rankings for its premiere, despite only being available for a few hours of that week. After its first full week on the streamer, it rocketed to the top of the charts.
The Roast of Tom Brady gathered 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the week of May 6-12, leading all streaming titles by a wide margin (the second-place finisher, Grey’s Anatomy, had 1.11 billion minutes of watch time for the week). The roast also had by far the biggest weekly viewing tally ever for a Netflix special; the previous high was 798 million minutes for Chris Rock’s stand-up special Selective Outrage in March 2023.
The 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the roast in the United States translates to about 27.87 million hours, or about two thirds of Netflix’s reported worldwide total (42.2 million hours) for the special that week.

Michael Schwartz and Tyler Nilson, who made Peanut Butter Falcon, have been hired to direct the English language remake of the Mads Mikkelsen-starring film, Riders Of Justice.
Not long after Riders Of Justice released back in 2021, news emerged that the Danish film would be getting an English language remake.
A revenge thriller told with an eccentric tone and a streak of dark comedy, the original Riders Of Justice (Retfærdighedens ryttere) was popular on its original release, and we gave it four stars in our review. Directed by Anders Thomas Jensen and starring Mads Mikkelsen in a story about ‘a recently deployed soldier who returns home to care for his teenage daughter after his wife is killed in a train accident. But when a team of statistics experts investigating the accident claim foul play, the soldier embarks on a revenge-fuelled mission, along with an eclectic group, to find those responsible.

Shia Labeouf is an iconic actor who has had a certain aura of controversy around him ever since starring in Transformers. From various reports and rumors, Labeouf has certain behaviors that are problematic for his co-stars and film crews but one film takes the cake.
Shia Labeouf in The Peanut Butter Falcon
Having quite a plethora of movies to his name, Labeouf found worldwide fame when he portrayed the role of Sam Whitwicky in Michael Bay’s 2007 film Transformers. After leaving the franchise, the actor explored other projects until he was cast in the 2014 film Fury.
Shia Labeouf Is Definitely Not A Method Actor

Dakota Johnson rose to prominence in the Fifty Shades trilogy and captured audiences’ interest as an actress. She has gone on to star in small-budget indie darlings such as Our Friend, The Peanut Butter Falcon, Cha Cha Real Smooth, and The Lost Daughter. The actress recently transitioned into the superhero genre with Madame Web.

Unfortunately, the film turned out to be mediocre and a big box office bomb. Marvel fans deemed it one of the worst entries in the franchise, and they have mocked several unintentionally funny moments in the film. But it seems all that chatter about the film has boosted its interest among general audiences as the film has shot to Number 1 on the Netflix charts.

Exclusive: Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins (Freud’s Last Session) has signed on to star in Bruno Penguin and the Staten Island Princess, the latest film from director Nick Cassavetes. Billed as the first-ever major Hollywood production to shoot in Antarctica, the film also has Shia Labeouf (Padre Pio) in talks to star and will enter production in November.
Scripted by Daniel Barnz and Ned Zeman, Bruno Penguin is based on a Vanity Fair article from the latter which tells the true story of adventurous Swiss photographer Bruno Zehnder, a superb artist who spent the last 20 years of his life in Antarctica photographing Emperor penguins. He was obsessed by them – their kindness, the way they lived, their deep levels of affection for one another. Bruno spent his life trying to learn how to communicate with them and over time, the colonies grew to know him and return his fondness.

Heading into Cannes, Utopia has secured worldwide rights to college fraternity thriller The Line starring Alex Wolff, Halle Bailey, Austin Abrams, Lewis Pullman, and the late Euphoria star Angus Cloud.
Ethan Berger’s feature debut premiered in Tribeca last year and explores the cult-like aggression in fraternity culture and the antiquated traditions perpetuated in educational institutions.
Wolff (Hereditary) stars in the Chaos Cedar Production as Tom, a university sophomore who gets caught up in fraternity politics when he is lined up as a potential successor to the group’s president. Berger and Alex Russek co-wrote the screenplay.

Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton entering into a unique arrangement, J.Lo fighting evil artificial intelligence, the roasting of an NFL legend, a retelling of the invention of the Pop Tart, Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt at war and John Mulaney’s six-night live comedy event from Los Angeles are some of the big titles hitting Netflix in May.
Debuting on May 3 is Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut, Unfrosted. The comedy legend works both sides of the camera for this humorous feature take on the birth of the Pop Tart. The movie is set in 1963 as breakfast cereal giants Kellogg’s and Beitrag compete to become the first company to create a morning pastry. Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan and Amy Schumer also star, with Hugh Grant more than likely to steal the whole film with a turn as Tony the Tiger.

As summer approaches (for the Northern Hemisphere at least), Netflix is set to premiere a fresh season of one of its biggest hits.
Brigerton season 3 is set to arrive on May 16 and will debut a “new crop of debutantes” into the regency drama fray. Other original series of note this month include Indian drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar (May 1), the Jeff Daniels-starring A Man in Full (May 2), and intriguing Korean title The 8 Show (May 17). Of course, Netflix is also rolling out a suite of true crime docs and docuseries as well. Chief among those options is Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal on May 15.
It’s the movie side of things where Netflix is feeling particularly lively though. May 3 sees the arrival of Jerry Seinfeld Pop Tart comedy Unfrosted. That will be followed by rom-com Mother of the Bride (May 9) and the Jennifer Lopez-starring Atlas (May 24).

Ryan Garcia is an extremely well-known figure in the world of professional boxing, fighting for the World Boxing Council. In the past, he held the title of interim lightweight, which made his name quite famous in circles outside of the boxing world. It would seem that whispers of his achievements and shortcomings have passed through the gates of Hollywood, as Shia Labeouf recently trashed the boxer.

During an interview, the actor revealed that he was not a big fan of Garcia, specifically because of what he did to his wife after she gave birth to his son. Some back and forth took place, and it is safe to say that there is some heat between the two celebrities.
Shia Labeouf Is Not A Fan
Recently, Shia Labeouf made an appearance on Froch on Fighting, where he talked about boxing as a profession, as well as his thoughts on specific boxers.

Johnny Knoxville always seems to display an aching vulnerability, and it’s not just because he’s voluntarily endured years of intense bodily suffering as a result of his Jackass movies. So he seems the perfect choice to play the central character in Lije Sarki’s raucous black comedy that plays like a Bad News Bears featuring recovering addicts rather than precocious children.
Knoxville plays Morris, whose sad state of affairs is made immediately apparent in the opening scene: He’s shown waking up nearly naked and bloody on a park bench, having clearly been on one hell of a bender the night before. Even worse, he had apparently left his eight-year-old daughter home alone, making him realize he’s a danger to others as well as himself.
To try to get his life back on track, Morris signs up for a 90-day stint at Sweet Dreams, a rehab center...

"You got 10 guys that need this place." Paramount has revealed an official trailer for a sports comedy called Sweet Dreams, a new film directed by the producer of sleeper hit The Peanut Butter Falcon previously. Opening in theaters in April this spring to enjoy. This fresh new comedy is a wild journey of second chances. Forced into rehab, Morris agrees to coach a misfit softball team of recovering addicts from his own house to prove that everyone, despite their past, can hit a home run. And maybe he will get his own life back on track, too. Johnny Knoxville stars as Morris, with an ensemble cast featuring Mo Amer, GaTa, Bobby Lee, Theo Von, Brian Van Holt, Jonnie Park, Shakewell, Adam Faison, plus Jay Mohr & Kate Upton. This doesn't look like it has the most original script, but it still does seem quite wholesome and amusing in an obnoxiously entertaining way.

In 2019, rumors circulated that Shia Labeouf and Mel Gibson would be featured in a new movie about the affluent Ashkenazi Jewish noble banking Rothschild family. The project, which was said to delve into the mysterious and secretive world of one of the wealthiest families in history, was met with excitement by fans.
However, since the initial announcement, there have been few or no updates regarding the status of the film, causing many to wonder: What happened to Gibson’s Rothschild movie? The project was supposed to be helmed by Tetris director Jon S. Baird.

Speculation has been rife concerning the causes of the apparent delay or possible demise of the project. The movie’s title and subject matter caused controversy then, and Gibson was forced to deny any link between Rothchild and the wealthy Jewish banking dynasty of the same name.

Speculation has been rife concerning the causes of the apparent delay or possible demise of the project. The movie’s title and subject matter caused controversy then, and Gibson was forced to deny any link between Rothchild and the wealthy Jewish banking dynasty of the same name.

Actress Dakota Johnson is not making headlines this time around for her role in a romantic drama or a gripping thriller. Instead, it is due to her disappointment with the cast of the recently released superhero film, Madame Web. The actress, 34, participated in extensive driving stunt training for Sony’s film, but she was not permitted to do any “crazy things” while working on the film.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Johnson was asked if she was excited to be doing her own stunts in Madame Web, helmed by the British director S. J. Clarkson. The film is based on the same-named character from Marvel Comics. Johnson plays Cassandra Webb, better known as Madame Webb, a clairvoyant with the ability to foresee future occurrences in the ‘spider world’.

Angelina Jolie has kissed many actors over the course of her onscreen career. But one actor who looked forward to the possibility of making out with Jolie was star Shia Labeouf.

Labeouf has worked closely with some of Hollywood’s biggest female stars. As is the case with actors sometimes, it was hard not to develop feelings towards his fellow actors. In a resurfaced interview with GQ, Labeouf confided that he’d fall for his onscreen partners quite often on set.
“Oh, I’ve been in love with every woman I’ve ever worked with,” he said.
Labeouf would’ve gladly dated some of those co-stars if given the opportunity. But circumstances beyond his control sometimes prevented onscreen relationships from becoming a reality.

Actor Shia Labeouf has been lighting up headlines this week. While he bravely admitted his bout with suicidal thoughts, his battles with director Olivia Wilde on Don’t Worry, Darling have taken the lead. Now, Labeouf is admitting that the so-called autobiographical Honey Boy was anything but. Labeouf fessed up on his friend and The Peanut Butter Falcon co-star Jon Bernthal’s podcast, Real Ones.
In the interview, Labeouf reflected on Honey Boy: “I wrote this narrative, which was just fucking nonsense. My dad was so loving to me my whole life. Fractured, sure. Crooked, sure. Wonky, for sure. But never was not loving, never was not there. He was always there … and I’d done a world press tour about how fucked he was as a man.”
