Rosie Perez on Making Peace With Spike Lee, Bombing Her ‘Matrix’ Audition and Why Hollywood’s Latino Representation Still ‘Sucks’

Rosie Perez slides into a booth at an upscale Italian restaurant in Manhattan. She pushes up the sleeves on her wool sweater dress and settles in to talk about the state of Hollywood. And women in Hollywood. And Latinos in Hollywood. Or maybe that lack of cultural specificity in the homogeneous blob of film content that is created to appeal to the widest possible global audience. On this afternoon in early March, the Academy Awards are still dominating the conversation, and Perez, a supporting actress nominee for the 1993 drama “Fearless,” has some thoughts. “I think Brendan deserved the Oscar,” she says. “But I wouldn’t be mad if Colin had got it for ‘Banshees of Inisherin.’ He did something specific to his culture, right? How many other movies has he done that were specific to his culture?”

Quentin Tarantino Hits 60: Edgar Wright and Jamie Foxx Lead Celebrations At The London Palladium

Quentin Tarantino turns 60 today, and to celebrate the fact he was ambushed with cake by Jamie Foxx in front of 2,000 people at the London Palladium last night. Don’t go looking online for photographs of the occasion, though: the surprise came at the end of a two-night event promoting the director’s recent memoir Cinema Speculation, for which all in attendance had to turn off their mobile phones and put them into lockable pouches for the duration. Phones are famously forbidden on Tarantino’s sets, and his live appearances are no exception.

‘Frybread Face and Me’ Review: Indigenous Filmmaker Bill Luther’s Achy, Amusing Tale of Exile and Discovery

Lisa Kennedy In “Frybread Face and Me,” Benny Lovell might be a few years away from the edge of 17, but the 12-year-old Indian kid has a passion for Fleetwood Mac. It’s his fondness for the band, its witchy vocalist Stevie Nicks as well as for dolls (“action figures,” he corrects) that has his parents sending him from San Diego to his maternal grandmother on the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona. But before he gets on the bus headed east, adult Benny in voice-over offers a caveat: “If you think no one does dysfunction like Fleetwood Mac, then you haven’t met my family.” It’s 1990 and a summer that initially smacks of exile and punishment becomes one of discovery — self-discovery to be sure, but also cultural and familial.

After twenty years of silence (as a director, anyway), Tommy Wiseau is back with an all-new feature film, his first since the immortal 2003 cult classic “The Room.” Is this cause for celebration or riots? It all depends on what one thinks of Wiseau: a lovable hack, a shameless charlatan, or some seemingly impossible hybrid of both things at once. READ MORE: The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2023 In any case, Wiseau’s next film is “Big Shark,” about three best friend firefighters who must save the city of New Orleans from, that’s right, a really big shark.

Cameron Diaz comeback movie halted as co-star Jamie Foxx hit with $40K scam: reports

told the Sun that the film has been nothing short of a “nightmare” and “there have been a lot of delays” with “an investigation into everything going on.“It sounds as though they tried to offer up a Rolex watch as part of the deal,” the insider said of the alleged scam against Foxx.“People will be glad when this thing finally wraps,” they added about the investigation.The chilly weather in London — where the cast has been filming in recent weeks — has also become a big issue, the insider explained, while adding that the recent alleged con was “a bit more sinister.” The Netflix film is Diaz’s first project since the 2014 musical-comedy “Annie,” which also starred Foxx.The 50-year-old actress announced her retirement from Hollywood in 2018 and opted to focus on raising her family.According to the Sun report, Netflix bosses reached out to authorities after learning of similar attempts at swindling actors out of cash. “The Holiday” star Diaz is married to Good Charlotte frontman Benji Madden, and they have a 3-year-old daughter, Raddix.Aside from the comedy film being plagued with issues, Diaz still may not come back to the entertainment biz following the movie’s conclusion.The long hours of shooting keep her away from her family and she is having a difficult time getting back into the acting groove, a source told the Daily Mail on Monday.“Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world,” the insider noted.

‘Total Trust’ Director Jialing Zhang Opens Up About First Major Film on Chinese State Surveillance (EXCLUSIVE)

Lise Pedersen Documentary filmmaker Jialing Zhang, who was nominated for an Emmy for “One Child Nation,” spoke to Variety about her latest film, “Total Trust,” which is running in the main competition at CPH:DOX, the Copenhagen Intl.

Zhang’s intimate footage offers unprecedented access to the impact of this all-controlling system on the protagonists’ everyday lives.

‘She Said’ Actor Launched Campaign During Award Season to Support Survivors of Sexual Violence in Hollywood

Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent Sarah Ann Masse, an actor and activist who appeared in the film “She Said,” launched an outreach campaign via her organization Hire Survivors Hollywood, which had Hollywood notables wearing pins to support survivors of sexual violence across the entertainment industry at some of the buzziest events in the biz. Masse — who is a real-life survivor of Harvey Weinstein, but did not play herself in “She Said” — is the founder of Hire Survivors Hollywood, a grassroots organization that aims to get major studios and networks to make a pledge to hire survivors and give them the same opportunities as others, and stand against retaliation for speaking up. Masse started Hire Survivors Hollywood out her own necessity, after she says she was retaliated against for coming forward about Weinstein, and because she believed other survivors of sexual abuse were facing similar professional backlash.

Back From Hollywood Visit, Italian Deputy Culture Minister Vows That Italy’s Robust Tax Rebates for Film and TV Production Remain Firmly in Place

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italy’s 40% tax rebates for international film and TV series are a magnet that has been crucial to luring lots of shoots to the country. These incentives are behind the current contemporaneous presence on the Cinecittà Studios lot of Oscar-winner Edward Berger’s new film “Conclave,” Netflix period soap “Decameron,” and Roland Emmerich’s Peacock gladiator series “Those About to Die,” to name a few examples.  That’s why Italian Deputy Culture Minister Lucia Bergonzoni on Oscar week travelled to Los Angeles to meet with Hollywood studio and streamer chiefs. Her mission: to dispel fears swirling in the global film community ever since Italy’s new right-wing government was installed in October 2022 regarding the prospect that the Italian rebates could be pulled or in some way watered down.

‘Frybread Face And Me’ Review: Billy Luther’s Memoir Turns His Authentic Experience As An Indigenous American Into An Evocative, All-Inclusive Meditation On Childhood – SXSW

There are a lot of films based on personal experience at this year’s SXSW, and Billy Luther’s narrative feature debut is one of the few that actually makes you wish it could go on longer. Using his authentic experience as a rough map rather than a beat sheet, Luther hits on something very special here, exploring universal themes of childhood and family in ways that transcend the specificity of its setting. Taika Waititi’s involvement as executive producer is understandable, not because it reflects his recent success in bringing a more subversively silly strain of comedy to Marvel movies but because, in its lovely, understated it way, it has all the simple warmth and heart of the New Zealander’s earlier works.
