Viggo Mortensen broke two toes kicking a helmet in Lotr (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Viggo Mortensen’s commitment to The Lord of the Rings trilogy was legendary and sometimes downright painful. While filming The Two Towers, Mortensen’s Aragorn lets out an agonizing cry while kicking a helmet, thinking his friends Merry and Pippin are dead. That wasn’t just acting; Mortensen’s cry was an absolute scream of pain—he’d broken two toes in the process.

It’s become a classic Lotr trivia moment, shared (maybe too many times) by fans, but Mortensen’s injury was no small thing. Even director Peter Jackson couldn’t resist a chuckle, noting Mortensen’s reaction as he stayed in character despite his injury. Mortensen kicked that helmet with such force and precision that the pain became part of Aragorn’s journey.

Mortensen Took ‘Method’ to a New Level

Mortensen was no stranger to bruises.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, which I guess must include the one embroidered on the black mesh singlet worn by Kit Connor. Sam Gold’s Gen Z Romeo + Juliet revival can be chaotic and undisciplined, but it’s also breathless and swoony, angry and violent, tender and sexy Af. Ready to attest to that was the mob of young women and queer kids in my audience who let out a squeal of excitement when Connor took a flying leap into a pull-up to kiss co-star Rachel Zegler on a bed suspended above the stage. This is not your grandmother’s balcony scene, but it’s disarming.

The picture that greets theatergoers upon entering is a bunch of uncommonly youthful actors clad in neon colors and slouchy denim and Hello Kitty backpacks, draped across each other with what seems like pansexual abandon. The overturned shopping...

Having spent 40 years in the movie business, Johnny Depp has a resume that would make anybody in Hollywood jealous. The 61-year-old boasts appearances in movies like Alice in Wonderland, Murder on the Orient Express, Black Mass, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber on Fleet Street, Edward Scissorhands, and many more. However, Depp is most known for acting as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Depp’s excellence was undeniable in all five films that were made between 2003 and 2017. Who would ever forget the iconic Jack Sparrow, his epic sword fight scenes, and witty jokes? And surely, at some point, we all shipped him with Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann.

A new public service announcement featuring likenesses of celebrities including Michael Douglas, Chris Rock and Amy Schumer aims to warn voters about AI deepfakes, including those that could be unleashed on Election Day to try to suppress the vote.

The spot is from RepresentUS, a nonpartisan anti-corruption organization that includes figures like Ed Helms and Jennifer Lawrence on its board.

The central aim of the spot is to warn voters of messages that seek to dissuade people from voting. Before the New Hampshire primary, a robocall deepfake of Joe Biden’s voice was sent to voters that tried to discourage them from casting a ballot.

Others likenesses featured in the spot include Laura Dern and Orlando Bloom, while the real Rosario Dawson and Jonathan Scott appear at the end.

According to RepresentUS, the likenesses of the celebrities were used with permission.

Katy Perry’s Career Path Is In For A Bumpy Ride

The once-pop icon Katy Perry might have just hit rock bottom. Though she is known to the world as Katy Perry, her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.

Can Katy Perry return to American Idol after ditching the show?

Katy Perry quit American Idol. Though she wasn’t necessarily producers’ first choice, Carrie Underwood stepped up to replace her at the judges table.

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” works have something new to look forward to – an upcoming live-action film called “The Hunt for Gollum.” Screenwriter Philippa Boyens confirmed the project is currently in development and set to be directed by Andy Serkis, famous for portraying Gollum.

“The Hunt for Gollum” will tell an untold part of the character’s story between key events in Tolkien’s books. Boyens said it centers around “the personality split of Gollum/Sméagol and the events that happened between Bilbo Baggins’ birthday party and the time the fellowhip spent in Moria.” Original trilogy director Peter Jackson and collaborators Fran Walsh and Boyens are involved in crafting the story.

Recent speculation that the film would be split into two parts has been clarified. Boyens stated in an interview that it is definitively one movie and not two. An earlier misunderstanding arose from conceptual discussions...

Ian McKellen sent “Lord of the Rings” fans into a tizzy earlier this year when he teased that the upcoming movie, “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” would actually be two films. Not so fast. Philippa Boyens, the screenwriter who worked on Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies, has confirmed to Empire magazine that “The Hunt for Gollum” is one movie. However, more live-action “Rings” movies could be on the way beyond that.

“I can tell you definitively it isn’t two films!” Boyens said. “That was a genuine misunderstanding that happened because we’ve begun to work, conceptually, on two different live-action films. The first being ‘The Hunt For Gollum,’ the second one still to be confirmed.”

Boyens is writing “The Hunt for Gollum” with longtime “Rings” collaborators Fran Walsh, Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou. She called the new movie “quite...

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show returned in 2024 after a six-year hiatus stemming from poor ratings and public criticism of the brand’s image and lack of diversity. Fans of the beleaguered brand had high hopes for the much-hyped 2024 runway presentation, which featured Cher, Lisa, and Tyla’s electrifying performances. One element of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show that viewers couldn’t help but notice was the plentiful amount of Leonardo Dicaprio‘s girlfriends past and present.

Prime Video’s ad-supported reach in the UK is 19 million viewers, Amazon has revealed for the first time.

At a UK Upfront event in London this evening attended by the likes of Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Idris Elba, the company talked up its streaming biz, saying its customer base is equivalent to more than a third of British adults.

In a bid to persuade advertisers their pounds and dollars are being well spent, Amazon said 52% of UK Prime Video viewers did not watch any paid-for TV, and that among these 36% spent more in the Amazon.co.uk store than the average spend of Amazon customers.

“Last year, we celebrated the news that we were bringing ads to Prime Video’s premium entertainment content in the UK,” said Phil Christer, Managing Director, Amazon Ads UK. “Now we are here to show you what that means in practice.

“Middle-earth has room for only one Lord of the Rings, and he does not share power,” this iconic line from Sauron looms large over the franchise, where men and dwarves often steal the spotlight, but there’s one other race that has always been crucial for balancing the scales of power in J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium.

And it’s none other than the Elves! Graceful and powerful ancient beings who possess not only immense wisdom but are also otherworldly warriors and leaders.

Winter may never come — if HBO’s release schedule continues to gestate at a glacial pace.

That’s among the running gags in the Saturday Night Live Cut for Time sketch titled “Blonde Dragon People,” which pokes fun at the network-streamer and its star prestige series House of the Dragon. In the six-minute-long video, a group of friends become increasingly confused with the show’s short runtime and long shooting schedule, extraordinarily similar-sounding names and continuity errors.

Dorgos, Dormos, Dargomos, Dorgon and Dorman are just a handful of the names that confuse the group, which comprises SNL stars Andrew Dismukes, Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker and newcomer Jane Wickline.

As they watch the show’s recap — as played by Chloe Fineman, Kenan Thompson, Bowen Yang and a heavily accented and nonsensical James Austin Johnson (clearly parodying Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen in Hotd) — the friends start to lose track of plot points,...

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years — two whole decades! — since Gary Oldman first swept into the Wizarding World and stole our hearts as Sirius Black in Alfonso Cuarón's Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. Almost just as hard to believe is that right now Succession duo Mark Mylod and Francesca Gardiner are hard at work readying their upcoming small-screen Hp reboot for HBO, with an open casting call for our next Golden Trio having already gone live just last week. But whilst Mylod and Gardiner might be scouting for unknowns to play Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their new show, Oldman has already thrown his hat in the ring for a part in the series — and it's not the one you'd expect, either.

In an interview with IndieWire on the red carpet at last weekend's 76th Emmy Awards, Oldman — who was up for Outstanding Actor In A...

The Rings of Power dropped a revelation that shakes up everything we thought we knew about Lord of the Rings—why only hobbits could take down Sauron! Turns out, Peter Jackson slyly hinted at this in the original trilogy, but the new series makes it clear: it’s not just about their innocence or resilience. The hobbits’ unique connection to Middle-earth and their unassuming nature made them the perfect wildcard to blindside the Dark Lord.

Their humility? A secret weapon that Sauron never saw coming! Jackson was playing the long game with that subtle foreshadowing, and The Rings of Power is finally spelling it out. Sauron’s ego was his downfall, and hobbits were his kryptonite all along!

If Ian McKellen is right, a double feature Lord of the Rings movie based on a story gleaned from Tolkien’s appendices seems overly thin, even with an AI Orlando Bloom

Sir Ian McKellen dropped a stinker on the British talkshow This Morning earlier in the week so putrid that even Gollum himself might steer clear of it. The 85-year-old star of the Lord of the Rings movies was being asked about a return to Middle-earth in The Hunt for Gollum, which will see Peter Jackson (this time as producer) and Andy Serkis heading back to Jrr Tolkien’s high fantasy classic more than two decades after the former completed 2003’s Oscar-winning The Return of the King.

Ian McKellen Shares Andy Serkis' Major Plans for Next The Lord of the Rings Film - Main Image

The Lord of the Rings icon Ian McKellen knows something fans don't yet! Here's what the Gandalf actor spilled about director Andy Serkis' plans for The Hunt for Gollum, the upcoming Lotr prequel.

Lord of the Rings Star Unveils How Long The Hunt For Gollum Will Be

Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav revealed in May this year that they plan on extending The Lord of the Rings franchise with a 2026-slated movie titled The Hunt for Gollum.

Set close to the events of the original trilogy, Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis plans on helming the upcoming addition to the franchise, with filmmaker Peter Jackson joining as a producer.

Well, apart from Orlando Bloom recently mentioning his interest in returning, Sir Ian McKellen himself confirmed that he, too, was approached for a reprisal.

Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, confirms that there are two new Lord Of The Rings films planned, with another one following 2026’s Hunt For Gollum.

It was only a week ago that The Big Issue revealed, thanks to an interview with the legendary actor himself, that Sir Ian McKellen is potentially returning to the role of Gandalf for a new Lord Of The Rings film, subtitled The Hunt For Gollum.

Appearing on ITV’s This Morning show in a dapper chequered suit, McKellen again talked about his potential return to Middle-earth, but continued to make non-committal noises about signing up for the role.

“Well, all I know is that they [Warner Bros] called me up and said these films are going to happen, and they’re mainly going to be about Gollum,” McKellen said on the 9th September (as spotted by World Of Reel). “Andy Serkis, who played Gollum, is going to direct.

VIP clients devoted to luxury group Kering’s impressive stable of high-end brands mingled with heavy-duty Hollywood star power on Monday night at the third-annual Kering Foundation “Caring for Women” Dinner, which raises funds to support NGOs working to eradicate all forms of violence against women. Even with the 81st Venice Film Festival winding down and both the Toronto International Film Festival and New York Fashion Week in full swing, the stars showed up at Kering’s splashy event at The Grill + The Pool at New York’s Seagram Building.

Several stars in attendance already demonstrate a proactive commitment to the evening’s theme: supporting and empowering women. “Anyone who looks at my Instagram or any speech I’ve ever given knows that it’s very important for me to work as a society to eradicate all gender-based violence,” Jessica Chastain told The Hollywood Reporter. “It hurts people. It hurts our planet.

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was a sensation when it came out in the early 2000s. Years later, Warner Bros. tried to make lightning strike twice by hiring Jackson to adapt The Hobbit, another of Tolkien's beloved books set in Middle-earth. Those movies made lots of money, but they didn't go over as well with fans, in large part because the story stretched over three films. That worked for The Lord of the Rings, which was a book trilogy to begin with, but The Hobbit is a much shorter standalone work, and didn't fit comfortably on that bigger canvas.

Over a decade after that, Warner Bros. Discovery is returning to the well with The Hunt for Gollum, a new movie starring and directed by Andy Serkis, who played the One Ring-obsessed wretch in both of Jackson's trilogies. The Hunt for Gollum is about a side story...

The Kering Foundation brought out an A-List group of celebs for its third Caring for Women dinner during New York Fashion Week!

Kim Kardashian, Dakota Johnson, Kerry Washington, Jessica Chastain, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom were among the dozens of stars at the event held at The Pool on Monday (September 9) in New York City.

Salma Hayek joined her husband Francois-Henri Pinault, who is the CEO of fashion brand Kering. The company owns such luxury brands as Gucci, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and Bottega Veneta.

“For women and children to be free to fulfill their potential unencumbered by the burdens of fear, threat and trauma, it is paramount that we address violence at its roots to change behavior and heal our collective culture,” Francois-Henri said in a statement announcing the dinner earlier this year.
