New Adam McKay Movie Gets Star-Studded Cast

New Adam McKay Movie Gets Star-Studded Cast

Adam McKay is a brilliant director with his own sense of humor and intensity. The filmmaker has previously made films like Don’t Look Up, Vice, The Other Guys, and the Anchorman series. Now, the director has come up with a brand new project and a brilliant cast of great actors. The film has been rumored and talked about for months before finally being revealed. It will star the likes of Rober Downey Jr., Danielle Deadwyler, Robert Pattinson, and many other A-listers from Hollywood. What is the film all about? It’s likely going to be another one of McKay’s topical comedies. Here’s more.

Average Height, Average Build

Average Height, Average Build

The film is titled Average Height, Average Build. It is meant to be a total rollercoaster ride that sees the world of a serial killer. It will be a part serial killer thriller as well as a part comedy, as is McKay’s usual style. It will see the killer use the powers of political lobbyists to bring a big change in the way laws to work. Why? All so he can kill people more easily and get about his serial killer ways. 

McKay has recently made films that handle and talk about many sorts of crises. Satirical comedy is his best suit and was best reflected in his last few films, including Don’t Look Up, which talked about the current climate crisis, and The Big Short, which handled the housing crisis in America. Average Height, Average Build, handles the corruption and crime crisis that has become an everyday occurrence in America.

McKay has been working on this script for quite a while. He had previously mentioned how he wanted to write a script that talked about the “big, dirty money” that the world, and especially America, is so obsessed with. He has written the script now, which he then described as a comedy film. 

There are no studios attached to the film as of yet. There will probably be multiple negotiations and offers for the film as the months go on. However, actors such as Pattinson, Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker, Danielle Deadwyler, and Robert Downey Jr. are already attached to the film. 

A dark political thriller is an interesting idea, but studios see it as somewhat of a risky investment with the way politics is affecting the industry right now. While Don’t Look Up was just as star-studded, it was not received very well by critics. McKay has a great sense of humor and directs these satires, but studios are cautiously approaching this topic.

For this reason, reportedly, multiple studios have already passed on the film while some others are working out whether or not they want to be attached. If the film ends up finding no studios, McKay will have no choice but to go to a streamer which means paying his actors up front. 

This has been the reason a lot of previously approached actors refused to be a part of the film right off the bat. However, plenty has stayed on board, exponentially increasing the project’s potential. McKay is planning to start the filming of the movie in Boston in late summer. He has hired cinematographer Todd Banhazl. The two have previously worked together on McKay’s HBO series Winning Time. 

Even though Don’t Look Up was criticized, it still picked up two nominations. One for Best Picture and one for Original Screenplay. It’s interesting to note that an ensemble this powerful and a director this renowned facing trouble to get a project going is new. Hollywood has been in a sensitive place since COVID, and that has clearly changed a lot of things.

As an award-winning author, Mary Smith was born in Islay but didn't grow up there. At the tender age of seven, her family traveled down to the mainland. She lived in Castle Douglas in Southwest Scotland until she was an adult.

Courteney Cox Goes Monica Mode Cleaning Hollywood Stars on Walk of Fame

Courteney Cox Goes Monica Mode Cleaning Hollywood Stars on Walk of Fame

Courteney Cox is very well known by many as the iconic star of the popular 90s sitcom FRIENDS. The actress played Monica Geller, a character who was obsessed with order and cleanliness and was as competitive as it could get. Cox was recently given her own star on the Hollywood walk of fame and was joined by her friends as well as family members. It also included Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, two of her castmates from the show. She visited the walk of fame this Wednesday to clean the stars that had her and her friends’ names on them. 

Courteney Was Always Monica

Cox has starred in films and shows after FRIENDS. However, it looks like her character never truly left her. Cox was recently awarded stars on the walk of fame, and now, Cox made a funny video cleaning the stars. 

Someone’s gotta do it,she captioned the video of herself shining up her star as Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 played in the background. Was this a clever promotional job? The video featured Cox using her line of home cleaning products, Homecourt. She claims that her products are like “beauty products for the home,” well, that sounds like something only Monica could say.

Cox was often found going through people’s drawers and organizing and cleaning them on the set of FRIENDS. Now, she was seen cleaning the stars of her friends too. She would clean one and move on to another. She cleaned Reese Witherspoon’s star, who appeared in the show as Rachel’s sister before making her career in movies to come.

“Literally right on the star. You can go around!” she told pedestrians, trying to relive her time as Monica Geller on the set of FRIENDS, which aired its final and heartbreaking episode in 2004. The show had a brilliant run of ten years and made all the actors and actresses household names for everyone.

Lisa Kudrow

“Thanks for keeping us clean, Court!!,” said Reese Witherspoon, with Kudrow saying: “Only the best thing ever,” it’s interesting to note that Lisa Kudrow is the only leading cast member from FRIENDS not to have a Hollywood star on the walk of fame. She did, however, attend Cox’s ceremony and said kind words about her as her friend received her star. She talked about how Cox, Aniston, and she have been sisters to each other ever since they bumped into one another on the set of FRIENDS. 

The cast of the show has rarely come together all at once. Last, they were seen together on Friends: The Reunion, a documentary that was an hour and a half long, where cast and crew members came together to reminisce their days of working on the show. Since then, there hasn’t been a single time when the whole cast was together.

Interestingly, the male members of the cast were also absent from Cox’s star reception ceremony. David Schwimmer has previously noted how the entire cast of FRIENDS has only been altogether only twice after the show ended back in 2004.

Monica Geller on the set of FRIENDS

Regardless, it seems like Cox has kept the heart and soul of her character alive. She was the first woman to say the word ‘period’ on TV and perhaps one of the first few to normalize things like OCD and being a neat freak. Today, Cox lives on, and the memory of everyone’s favorite, Monica Geller, still keeps going.

FRIENDS, in fact, was and still is so popular that it is still making the stars millions in residuals and also making Warner Bros a lot of money.

James Gunn Will “For Sure” Work With Margot Robbie In The Future Of DC

James Gunn Will “For Sure” Work With Margot Robbie In The Future Of DC

James Gunn is perhaps the most loved and, at the same time, hated head of the DC universe. Gunn was given charge of reshaping the DC universe along with Peter Safran by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. The duo has since made a lot of changes that have both excited as well as angered fans. 

New ventures like Peacemaker and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad were big hits among fans. They loved the idea of exploring newer characters within the world of DC. However, newer decisions, like the removal of the entity Snyder-verse Justice League cast, have been a rather sore experience for many fans. Especially fans of Henry Cavill’s Superman have been upset since the actor had fit his role so beautifully over the years.

However, things won’t change anytime soon but Gunn has expressed that he may be working with Margot Robbie again in the future.

Gunn And Robbie

Gunn And Robbie

The two previously collaborated on Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, where Margot Robbie played her charismatic character of Harley Quinn. She reprised her role after starring in the earlier film Suicide Squad by director David Ayer in 2016. While the first film did not receive much praise from the fans, the second was certainly a greater success. 

A fan confronted Gunn about his work with Robbie. The fan asked Gunn on Twitter if he’d work with Robbie again in the future, and Gunn responded with a simple, “For sure.” The director has previously been candid about how he enjoys working with Robbie in an interview.

“What’s so great about Margot is that she’s just so good on so many different fronts. She’s a fantastic actor, she’s a fantastic comedian, and she’s a fantastic athlete,” he said in an interview back in July 2021, “I just love working with her. She’s a great person, who doesn’t have an ego.”

Robbie has often been called just as charismatic as the characters she plays on-screen. So there is little doubt that she’s such a delight to work with. Currently, there are no big plans for Harley Quinn to show up in the DC universe, at least none that have been revealed to the public. The latest endeavor of the studios is the upcoming film The Flash starring the recently notorious actor Ezra Miller. Even though there are no plans, Robbie has expressed her interest in playing Quinn again soon. She also mentioned how she enjoyed working with the director in the past. She mentioned how the “visionary director” has incredible humor:

“His humor is just so bizarre,” she added, how it was “incredibly weird and specific.”

The remarks are right on point for anyone who has ever seen any of Gunn’s previous films. The director is responsible for The Guardians of the Galaxy films from Marvel, which are usually a laughter riot. Gunn will be ending his contract with Marvel with the latest Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 film that is coming up. 

The film stars Dave Bautista, among others making a fan mention, “I just realized @JamesGunn worked with two wrestlers who are both incredible actors.” This was in reference to John Cena, who stars as Peacemaker, and Dave, who stars as Drax in the Marvel films.

He has previously talked about the humble John Cena, who is a delight for many fans and creators alike:

“John Cena is among the best people to work with — always prepared & on time & kind to everyone,” he said. “He & many of my regulars are among the actors I die to work with. I want to shout out to them here but the paucity of characters means I’d be leaving many out.”

Hopefully, with Peacemaker and Harley Quinn already having been in the same movie, we’ll get to see Robbie and Cena collaborate again soon under Gunn’s direction.
