Cooper Koch Wants to Star in Luca Guadagnino’s New ‘American Psycho’

Published by skeptic

After breaking out in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Cooper Koch has his sights set on his next role — and an iconic one at that. At the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, Koch told The Hollywood Reporter, “Luca’s doing American Psycho, so I think I can do Patrick Bateman,” when asked what he was looking to do for his Menendez follow-up. It was reported on Friday that Luca Guadagnino is in final negotiations to helm a new film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis‘ 1991 novel American Psycho for Lionsgate. The first film, released in 2000, starred Christian Bale as Bateman, an investment banker who seemingly leads a double life as a serial killer. “I haven’t played a serial killer yet so I think I could do it,” Koch added, noting that in the last few weeks since his Netflix series’ release, he’s been getting a surge of acting prospects. “Things are coming in, things are moving, things are happening, taking meetings, and the needle is threading so we’ll …

Smile 2 Star Naomi Scott Does Not Want You To Smile At Her In Public

Smile 2 Star Naomi Scott Does Not Want You To Smile At Her In Public

Published by skeptic

Smile 2 star Naomi Scott has added her name to the growing list of recent genre performances that deserve(d) awards consideration. From James McAvoy (Split) and Toni Collette (Hereditary) to Lupita Nyong’o (Us) and Mia Goth (Pearl), Scott is the latest example of an actor whose committed work in a highly difficult role shouldn’t be overlooked just because of the genre in which it resides. It’s well past time to have more than a half-dozen exceptions who managed to take home Oscar statuettes via the horror genre, such as Ruth Gordon (Rosemary’s Baby), Kathy Bates (Misery) and Jodie Foster (Silence of the Lambs). In Parker Finn’s sequel to his 2022 smash hit, Scott plays Skye Riley, a troubled pop star who’s attempting to mount a comeback after surviving a car accident that took the life of her equally famous boyfriend, Paul Hudson (Ray Nicholson). Skye’s return to prominence is made all the more difficult when a late-night encounter with an old high school friend results in her being on the receiving end of a fateful …

The Viral Star of PledgeTok, Fraternities’ Answer to Bama Rush, Speaks

The account isn’t Faber’s alone. It’s shared by all the pledges, run by the fraternity who sends the pledges videos to imitate. “It’s just to have some fun while we’re doing this and get closer with the guys you’re making TikToks with,” Faber explains. Here Faber shares the true story behind the video and what it’s been like to become the face of PledgeTok. GQ: You’ve done a few TikToks but then you make this one and it just explodes. Tell me about that. Faber: So at first it was going decently viral because there was a Mezuzah on one of the doors that we knocked on and there was a crazy political debate in the comments. And I thought that I just went viral because of some political debate. Then I got sent this one video—and at this point it probably had like 70 million views—of some girl watching my video, pausing it, and then being like, “Do you guys see what I see?” And it’s me staring into the last girl’s eyes.

Is Disney Bad at Star Wars?

Is Disney Bad at Star Wars?

Published by skeptic

There’s an exchange in Star Wars: The Force Awakens when Rey and Finn are fleeing from stormtroopers and searching for a way to escape. Rey spots the legendary Millennium Falcon, declares it looks like “garbage,” and then quickly reconsiders: “The garbage will do!”   Increasingly, that’s the attitude some fans have about Disney’s Star Wars programming: “Look, we all know this isn’t fantastic anymore, but Star Wars is still Star Wars, and, therefore, it will do.” To be fair, Disney’s Star Wars shows and movies remain far from space junk. Their titles typically get glowing reviews from critics, and generate box office returns and streaming ratings that other studios would envy (though at a high cost). So let’s run through Disney’s Star Wars legacy to date, from The Force Awakens to The Acolyte, and see what conclusions might be drawn. Because several aspects of the company’s track record admittedly look shaky: A five-movie franchise that was halted after its box office returns trended the wrong direction. Six live-action TV shows, just one of which has …
