Dwayne Johnson has responded to a widely criticized wax figure of the Black Adam star that was unveiled at a Paris museum.
The Musée Grévin — a museum specializing in wax figures of famous people — recently revealed its attempt at a likeness of the Samoan actor. The statue’s skin tone is notably lighter than Johnson’s, causing some to accuse the museum of “whitewashing” the actor. Also, the figure’s face looks creepily Botox-smooth, with fans saying they made him look like Mr. Clean (or, perhaps even more insultingly, like his Fast and Furious rival Vin Diesel).
Johnson has now weighed in on the issue, posting on Instagram on Sunday night: “For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum, in Paris France so we can work at ‘updating’ my wax figure here with some important details and improvements — starting with my skin color.

Even Super Bowl advertisers need a little help these days.
When the snack giant Frito-Lay shows up in the commercial breaks of Super Bowl Lvii this Sunday, it will do so with some guest stars in tow. The PepsiCo-owned company enlisted actors Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Raymond Cruz to reprise their characters Walter White, Jesse Pinkman and Tuco Salamanca from the popular series “Breaking Bad,” all in the name of selling the popped-corn snack Popcorners.
Some consumers may never have heard of this stuff, but chances are they’ll recognize the “Breaking Bad” trio.
And that, acknowledges Chris Bellinger, vice president of creative and digital at the snack maker, could present a challenge. His team is eager ”to make sure people don’t walk away saying, ‘That was an amazing ‘Breaking Bad’ commercial!’”

Despite some persistent controversies, advertisers had another big year on YouTube in 2017. Out of all the videos that aired as pre-rolls in 2017, ten made the year-end edition of the YouTube Ads Leaderboard, which ranks top spots in terms of viewership.
As is the case every year, several of the top ads of 2017 were tied to the Super Bowl. Budweiser's "Born the Hard Way," which tells the immigrant story of Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch, ended up as the fifth most-viewed YouTube ad of the year, while a Kia Super Bowl spot featuring Melissa McCarthy came in right behind it at number six. The tenth-ranked add on the Leaderboard, from Mr. Clean, also aired during the Big Game.

Adapted from the segment “Amateur Night” from anthology film V/H/S, Gregg Bishop‘s SiREN intrigued me mainly because he didn’t create the original. That’s how impactful producers felt this vignette proved, enough to spark interest for an expansion beyond its creative team. David Bruckner — the source material’s director and co-writer with Nicholas Tecosky — stayed on as an executive producer while working second unit, ultimately passing the baton to Bishop in order to focus on his own feature Southbound. In that respect this project could be labeled as a full-fledged remake with screenwriters Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski crafting an entirely new mythology. They saw Lily (Hannah Fierman) as more than a succubus wreaking havoc upon co-eds. They saw a feral siren desperate to escape from underneath an entrepreneurial occultist’s thumb.

And not only that, people who are actually bald. As in lost their hair naturally and don’t just shave it. I mean sure you’ve got Michael Jordan to look up to but I’m just not feeling the bald vibe in our country. But what if we move baldness to television? There I think we’ve got a different story. Unfortunately, not all are prime examples of manliness

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – Daddy’s Home features Will Ferrell as a too-nice, overly idealistic stepfather who must compete with Mark Wahlberg’s rugged, motorcycle-riding biological father for his new family’s love. Ferrell is the straight man, Wahlberg shows off his abs a lot, and wacky hi-jinx ensue that cause both men to go a little a lot insane.
You’ve seen both leading men play mirroring characters in previous films, and based on the trailers, you know exactly what to expect when these daddies come home this holiday season. For some, this bland comedic regurgitation will be perfectly fine, but for those who are growing tired of watching a squeaky-clean Will Ferrell get his ass kicked, you’ll see every joke coming from a mile away. Familiarity – it’s hard to avoid these days.

What's Gucci Mane? A machine, apparently. Two weeks after dropping his latest mixtape, Mr. Clean, the Middle Man, Gucci has now released three more albums. They're called Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, and are all available on iTunes, with March 20 release dates. There are nearly three dozen songs among the records, with features including the likes of iLOVEMAKONNEN, Chief Keef, and Waka Flocka Flame.

Despite a fantastic Christmas at the box office, 81 million people didn’t buy movie tickets this year. Not only were this year’s domestic admissions of 1.259 billion off 6% from 2013’s 1.34B, but the number of tickets sold hit their lowest level since 1995 when 1.211B people went to the cinema. Calculations are based on this year’s 3Q ticket price average of $8.12 from the National Association of Theater Owners, just a penny off from 2013’s $8.13. The upside is that thanks to Christmas, 2014 crossed $10 billion with a current estimated running cume for January 1-December 28 of $10.22B per Rentrak Theatrical. Some of the major studios are still on holiday with final figures set to be released on January 5. Here at Deadline we’re weighing 2014 according to the fiscal year of January 1-December 31, and we’ll be providing updates about the year along the way (studios tend to include the first weekend of January...

Bill Cosby has been publicly accused of raping, drugging, coercing or sexually assaulting at least 30 different women since 1965 and many of them have only started to come forward in recent months.
The comedian hasn’t been charged with any crimes stemming from the allegations. But over a decade after the first woman went public, the world has taken notice. Many of Cosby’s upcoming live performances have been canceled or postponed amid the swirling storm of claims. Netflix has postponed his special indefinitely and TV Land even nixed “Cosby Show” reruns from its lineup.

Since breaking out as a lead actor, Vin Diesel has largely rolled with the same look in all of his roles - the Mr. Clean-esque shaved head with no facial hair. That said, it seems that Diesel is doing something radical for his next big roll: he's sporting a beard. Production has officially begun on the new epic fantasy movie The Last Witch Hunter, and to celebrate the event the star has posted the first official still of himself in costume. (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Post by Vin Diesel.

In honor of his twenty years on TV, Conan O'Brien (well, whoever runs his website) is uploading classic videos. Here's one from 1997 starring a still-on-SNL Will Ferrell as Scrub-a-Dub, who's kind of like Mr. Clean, if Mr. Clean were a real D. Longtime Conan writer Brian Stack says it was actually written by frequent Ferrell collaborator and former SNL head writer Adam McKay. If that's not good enough, the bit also features Amy Poehler when she was barely old enough to rent a car. It's a funny reminder of comedy past — like finding a time capsule filled with whoopee cushions.

The real life failings of Detroit have been fodder for the news recently, from its initial bankruptcy filing in July (about a month before the Low Winter Sun pilot aired) and, more recently, the former mayor preparing for his sentencing for 24 corruption convictions that cost taxpayers at least $20 million.
Quite the relevant and perfect setting then for Low Winter Sun.
The freshman series trudged along through dark and humorless episodes exposing a city dilapidated and failing, corruption from just about everyone including the police and the strong possibility of betrayal and murder at every turn. And utilizing on-location shooting added to the authenticity of a place most people probably wouldn't want to visit on vacation.
In some ways I wish that the finale maintained splitting the two episodes rather than combining them into one two-hour conclusion, mostly because the first half is such a different speed and focus. But ultimately...
