Kristen Stewart was asked not to hold hands with her girlfriend ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Kristen Stewart wasn’t just Bella Swan in Twilight—her love life was a whole drama series. Everyone kept tabs from her on-and-off thing with Robert Pattinson to her later flings with Stella Maxwell and St. Vincent. But here’s the wild part: they told her to hide holding hands with her girlfriend in public if she wanted a shot at a Marvel movie.

During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Stewart alluded: “If you just, like, do yourself a favor and don’t go out holding your girlfriend’s hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie.” Her response? “I don’t want to work with people like that.” Respect.

It wasn’t just about holding hands. Hollywood wanted her to pick a side—“lesbian” or “heterosexual.” Kristen wasn’t down for that. “People...

Lucy Liu is game to listen to ideas for a possible Charlie’s Angels reboot and reprise her role of Alex Munday.

In a new interview, Liu said she was open to revisiting the character she played in the 2000 film directed by McG and in which she co-starred alongside Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz.

“I don’t hear much of anything until it actually happens,” Liu told Entertainment Tonight when asked if she had heard anything about a possible reboot.

Although there are no set plans to reboot the franchise, if there were, Liu said, “I’m never going to say no to that. But I would be surprised to hear anything that gets done or undone. You just never know until it happens.”

Run Sweetheart Run is a mystery horror...

Elizabeth Banks takes charge and delivers in Skincare, a Hollywood-set psychological thriller that its feature-debuting director, Austin Peters, likes to label a “sunshine noir”. Certainly it has elements of the classic darkly lit black and white film noirs set in L.A. in the 40’s, but this one takes place directly in the bright sunlit corners of Southern California where facialists are definitely a thing.

It is a fictional story, very loosely inspired apparently by a real case involving aesthetician Dawn DaLuise who was accused of putting out a hit on a rival facialist in 2014 and did wind up doing some prison time before being acquitted. There is no mention of her or that, but apparently screenwriters Deering Regan & Sam Freilich, and Peters were “inspired” enough to use it as a tipping point. It is a completely fictionalized character Banks plays, but her transformation feels close to real life despite...

Exclusive: A reimagination of the Charlie’s Angels franchise for tweens set in Brazil is in development from Sony Pictures Television – Kids and Sony Pictures Television-backed Floresta.

Brazilian actress and writer, Suzana Pires (Sol Nascente; Flor do Caribe) will pen the Portuguese-language, live-action collaboration.

At the center of the tale are three pre-teens from different backgrounds and realities who are selected by a talent scout according to their special skills to join a secret school of spies called the Angels Academy. Each episode will follow the angels as they solve crimes and save the world…all while navigating their first year of spy school. The stories will blend a mix of real, relatable and at times, absurd cases, amped up with elements of fun and wish fulfillment.

It’s unlikely that any actor will love all of the projects that they star in, and Kristen Stewart is no exception to the rule.

The 33-year-old Oscar nominee has starred in a variety of projects, from the Twilight saga to Spencer, the latter of which involved playing Princess Diana. However, during a recent interview, she revealed one project that she doesn’t have the fondest memories of filming.

In fact, she even said that she “hated” the process.

Read more about the movie that Kristen Stewart did not enjoy making…

The movie in question was 2019′s Charlie’s Angels, a reboot she starred in with Elizabeth Banks, Ella Balinska and Naomi Scott.

While filming a segment with Variety, Kristen was presented with one of her lines from the movie, prompting her surprising revelation.

“It was a good idea at the time,” she said about the film, adding, “I hated making that movie.

Kristen Stewart "hated making" the 'Charlie's Angels' reboot.The 33-year-old played Sabina Wilson in the 2019 film from director Elizabeth Banks but doesn't have fond memories of working on the picture.Playing Variety's game of 'Know Your Lines', Kristen responded to the quote 'Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?': "This was a mouthful at the time. I remember saying that."That was from a little movie called 'Charlie's Angels'. We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time."I hated making that movie. I don't know what else to say to you."Stewart hinted that it was a mistake trying to emulate the two 2000s 'Charlie's Angels' movies that featured the leading trio of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

When it comes to Charlie’s Angels, Kristen Stewart isn’t shy about letting her feelings be known — she hated making it.

While taking part in Variety’s Know Your Lines, Kristen Stewart got a dialogue prompt from the opening scene of the Charlie’s Angels reboot: “Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?“

“This was a mouthful at the time,” Stewart said. “I remember saying that. That was from a little film called Charlie’s Angels. We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time. I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say to you.” However, Stewart is a fan of the original Charlie’s Angels movie starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore. “Honestly,...

Kristen Stewart has become one of our most celebrated actors. It's an admittedly surprising outcome, given that her big break came in the YA blockbuster "Twilight." Ever since that saga ended though, Stewart has been very picky about the blockbuster films she's taken part in. In 2019, she decided to have a bite at that apple once more with "Charlie's Angels." The movie didn't perform particularly well at the time -- and now, Stewart has revealed that she did not enjoy making the reboot either.

Variety recently sat down with Stewart in honor of her upcoming film "Love Lies Bleeding," which made /Film's most anticipated movies of 2024. During the sit-down, Steward was fed lines from her career and at one point one from "Charlie's Angels" came up in the form of, "Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?...

Kristen Stewart isn’t mincing words when it comes to her thoughts on 2019’s “Charlie’s Angels,” written and directed by Elizabeth Banks. The “Chronology of Water” director and “Love Lies Bleeding” actress revealed, while playing Variety‘s game of “Know Your Lines” during a recent interview, that she “hated” making the 2019 franchise action-comedy reboot.

The line in question was, “Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?” Stewart responded, “This was a mouthful at the time. I remember saying that. That was from a little film called ‘Charlie’s Angels.’ We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time.”

She continued, “I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say to you.”

Stewart then pointed to...

Kristen Stewart is Variety’s Sundance cover star and said while recording a “Know Their Lines” video that she “hated” making “Charlie’s Angels,” the Elizabeth Banks-directed action-comedy that flopped at the box office in fall 2019. Stewart was joined in the film by Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska. While reviews were mixed, Stewart’s performance as the rebellious Sabina earned widespread acclaim. Variety film critic Owen Gleiberman’s praised her “flashing-eyed magnetism,” for instance.

During “Know Their Lines,” Stewart got a prompt that included dialogue from the opening scene of her “Charlie’s Angels” reboot: “Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?”

Elizabeth Banks recently told Rolling Stone that the media was behind the “gendered agenda” of “Charlie’s Angels,” her 2019 action-comedy starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska that flopped at the box office. The director told The New York Times last year that she wished the film’s marketing “had not been presented as just for girls,” but now she told Rolling Stone that’s the only perspective the media was interested in perpetuating anyway.

“So much of the story that the media wanted to tell about ‘Charlie’s Angels’ was that it was some feminist manifesto,” Banks said. “People kept saying, ‘You’re the first female director of ‘Charlie’s Angels!” And I was like, ‘They’ve only done a TV show and McG’s movies … what are you talking about? There’s not this long legacy.’ I just loved the franchise. There was not this gendered agenda from me.

Charlie’s Angels and its cast was a phenomenon in the 1970s. The TV series ran for five seasons from 1976-1981. It was produced by Aaron Spelling, who also created hits such as The Love Boat, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, and Melrose Place.

The show was immensely popular with viewers but got mixed reviews from critics. Some called it “Jiggle TV” because it emphasized the sex appeal of its female cast.

Which Charlie’s Angels cast members are still alive?

What was ‘Charlie’s Angels’?

“Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy; and they were each assigned very hazardous duties. But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie!”

Exclusive: Jefferson White (Yellowstone) will star as Tom Ferrell and Adeline Rudolph (Resident Evil) will play Bobbie Jo Song alongside Jack Kesy (Deadpool 2) as Hellboy in Millennium’s reboot The Crooked Man, we can reveal.

As previously announced, Brian Taylor (Crank) will direct from a script penned by Hellboy comic book creator Mike Mignola and Chris Golden.

The movie, which is due to shoot in coming weeks in Bulgaria, will see Hellboy stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia with a rookie Bprd agent. There they discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: the Crooked Man.

As we covered yesterday, Deadpool 2 actor Kesy will take on the Hellboy role, which was previously portrayed on screen in the franchise by Ron Perlman and David Harbour.

Exclusive: Chase Stokes (Outer Banks) and Sydney Taylor (American Born Chinese) are set to topline the YA romance Marked Men from director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook).

The film written by Sharon Soboil (After We Fell) is based on the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel Rule by Jay Crownover — the first in her hit series Marked Men, which has been translated into 11 languages. It’s being sold worldwide by Voltage Pictures, which is currently placing it before buyers.

Taylor stars as Shaw Landon, who has loved Rule Archer (Stokes) from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule, a fiery-tempered rebel tattoo artist, doesn’t have time for a good girl pre-med student like Shaw – even if she’s the only one who can see the person he truly is. She lives by other people’s rules; he makes his own. But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails,...

Movie monsters are incredible. The greats of Rick Baker, Phil Tippett, and Greg Nicotero — among many others — have rendered screens both small and large as monstrous gateways to unabashed nightmare fuel. Whether culled from mythology or the classics of the genre, these creations are a tentpole of the enduring monster movie or creature feature. However conceptualized, movie monsters are as much a part of what movies innately are as anything else.

Every year brings new monsters to the table. Some are relegated to indie VOD offerings, some theatrical bows, and some in a weird space between. Here, we'll be taking a look at the 10 scariest movie monsters of 2022. These beasties proved frighteningly fun; some rendered with computer effects, some conceived practically, and all stupendously scary. They're destined to take a bite out of you.

Stars: Ella Balinska, Pilou Asbæk, Clark Gregg, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dayo Okeniyi | Written by Shana Festes, Keith Josef Adkins, Kellee Terrell | Directed by Shana Festes

Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meet with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie (Ella Balinska) is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life, beginning a relentless game of cat-and-mouse with a bloodthirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction.

The first act of Shana Feste’s Run Sweetheart Run sets the tone for an extremely dark, atmospheric, and downright uncomfortable viewing experience that shows that you simply cannot trust anybody you meet; even those that seem to be totally fine. It...

Run Sweetheart Run, a feminist horror film, follows the story of Cherie as her life is threatened while on a blind date.

Ella Balinska, who plays Cherie, recently sat down with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss putting a female lens on a genre that usually focuses on the male perspective.

“[Director] Shana [Feste] can speak to this better than I, but I do know she wrote this from a place of experience,” Balinska revealed. “I think she wrote it in three days. It was a complete catharsis for her when she wrote it and there were so many things that happened to this poor character that I think every audience member can pull from. She gets her period in the film and that otherwise would be portrayed as something which is laughed at or displayed with a slightly more negative light.”

“In this film, we, and especially Shana, wanted to show...

Pilou Asbæk has quickly become one of those actors that many might not immediately know by name, but certainly remember for his villainous characters. From Euron Grayjoy in "Game of Thrones" to Wafner in "Overlord," he's gotten quite good at portraying characters you are either terrified of or want to punch in the face.

When I spoke to him to promote his latest film, "Run Sweetheart Run," it turns out that he loves these types of roles, and this latest one is certainly no different. Asbæk plays Ethan, a mysterious man who meets an aspiring lawyer named Cherie (Ella Balinska) after an internal scheduling error. At least, that's what Cherie thinks. While the two initially hit it off, Cherie realizes that there is something far more sinister about Ethan than he lets on, resulting in a wild chase throughout Los Angeles. Before you turn on the film on Prime Video,...

When you hear the premise to the new Prime Video and Blumhouse film "Run Sweetheart Run," you probably don't think of romance. However, that is apparently what sparked on its set during filming back in 2019 -- at least, according to star Ella Balinska. We recently spoke to her about her new horror film, which is now streaming, and she revealed that her best friend being on set helped her prepare for the exhaustive role.

"[Here's] a behind-the-scenes thing," she told me. "Whilst I was running for my life on set, she actually now met her fiancé from shooting this movie."

This is a far cry from the encounter Balinska's character, Cherie, has in "Run Sweetheart Run." When she takes her boss's place in a client meeting, she eventually becomes the target of the mysterious Ethan (Pilou Asbæk), forcing her to travel on foot throughout Los Angeles. In her escape, she'll find...

When "Run Sweetheart Run" premiered at 2020's Sundance Film Festival, it made a splash for its terrifying and unique take on post-#MeToo America. Not only was it a scathing look at how dangerously misogyny can be wielded by abusive men, but despite the high-level concept, it felt deeply personal. That was intentional, as co-writer and director Shana Feste revealed in 2020 that the film was partially based on her own experience with assault.

So how does a director turn a traumatic event into a high-speed popcorn flick? We sat down with Feste for a candid and enlightening interview about the real-world horrors of "Run Sweetheart Run" and how making the film was a cathartic and exhilarating experience.

You've previously talked about how personal this movie is for you and how it was partially inspired by your own experience.

What at first seems like a charming first date turns into a brutal fight for survival in Shana Feste's Run Sweetheart Run, and ahead of the film's October 28th global release on Prime Video, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers!

A woman is hunted through the streets of LA in a silly Amazon thriller that offers some low-stakes fun before over-extending itself

In writer-director Shana Feste’s muddled midnight movie Run Sweetheart Run, life is a string of misogynistic slights for Cherie (Ella Balinska), a young single mother trying to make it at a male-dominated, female-assisted Los Angeles law firm. From unwanted groping on the bus to inappropriate behaviour at work, the men surrounding her are as blunt as they are unashamed of it, a familiar-to-many daily grind she’s accustomed to yet aggrieved with.

When a scheduling mishap leaves her boss double-booked for the night, Cherie is asked to take his place meeting a client, scrambling together a last-minute babysitter and a last-minute outfit. Cherie is pleasantly surprised when she meets Ethan (Borgen and Game of Thrones alum Pilou Asbæk), who is handsome and friendly, a balm after yet another day of shitty men,...

After a two year delay that was caused by the pandemic, the Blumhouse horror thriller Run Sweetheart Run is finally making its way out into the world through the Amazon Prime Video service on October 28th. In anticipation of the film’s long-awaited release, our own JimmyO was able to sit down for an interview with stars Ella Balinska (Netflix’s Resident Evil series) and Pilou Asbaek (Ghost in the Shell), who discussed preparation, connection with their co stars, breaking the fourth wall, and more. He also talked with writer/director Shana Feste, who shared how a creepy date inspired her to make this film, and producer Effie T. Brown, who dug into how she connected with this concept.

True to its title, the first half hour of Run Sweetheart Run is a game of catchup. We meet Cherie (Ella Balinska), a single mother and aspiring lawyer pushed into a client dinner.

Run Sweetheart Run is a timely, stylistic horror that launches on Prime Video this weekend, and to mark its release we had the pleasure in speaking to its two leading stars: the hero, Ella Balinska, and the villain, Pilou Asbæk. We discussed the shooting of the film, and the themes it explores, and Balinska talks to us about why it feels pertinent and relatable. Meanwhile Asbæk talks us through his process when it comes to tackling sheer villainy, while also talking about his status in Hollywood, and what his ambitions are. Be sure to watch both interviews in their entirety below.

Synopsis

Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meets with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan. The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night,...

Plot: After what begins as the perfect first date with a dreamy bachelor, a single mom finds herself hunted by a seemingly unstoppable assailant in this terrifying dark thriller.

Review: Run Sweetheart Run takes the idea of a date gone terribly wrong and turns up the dial as far it’ll go. It’s a cool setup and there are plenty of interesting ways to take the story. Whether or not they did that will be up to the individual because I think this will be a divisive one. There are some very interesting concepts here but there are also very tired ones. So tolerance for such things will be a big factor going into this one.

The movie starts with a very charming date between Cherie (Ella Balinska) and Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). I didn’t know much about the film going into it, so if I didn’t know better,...

Romance turns into a harrowing nightmare for a single mom, Cherie, when she finds herself hunted by her date.

See how that unfolds when Shana Feste‘s Run Sweetheart Run makes its long-awaited debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 28 after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2020.

While you wait, Prime Video has shared with Bloody Disgusting an exclusive clip that sees the charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk) disarm Cherie’s inner alarm bells that signal something’s amiss.

Ignoring the red flags could be deadly. What begins as a romantic evening transforms into a fight for survival, and the tense clip below instills a sense of foreboding as Cherie fights her instincts to follow Ethan inside. Ethan confirms to the audience that he’s bad news when he breaks the fourth wall; something is deeply amiss here.

While “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” is a gender-swapped “Pretty Woman” and “American Gigolo” has been reimagined for 2022, Ryan Murphy had his own take on a sex worker series.

John Stamos revealed that producer Murphy reached out to him about a TV show where a marriage mediator seduces a husband and wife to work on their relationship.

“I remember going to lunch with him at the Ivy, and we order, and I said, ‘So what’s the show?’ And he’s like, ‘Well…'” Stamos said during SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show.” “It was like, ‘Ok, you play a male hooker and you sleep with the husband, sleep with the wife, and you kind of work on their marriage.'”

Stamos responded to Murphy, saying, “I’m like, ‘Uh-huh.’ Then he said, ‘And plus, you have a really cute Black guy and there’s a cute blond guy. You...

While the road to getting here was a lengthy one, we have finally been given our first proper look at the 2020 Sundance darling "Run Sweetheart Run." After being acquired by Amazon Studios shortly after the Utah film festival ended, it and its streaming platform, Prime Video, have been oddly silent about the film's release. However, we won't have to wait much longer to watch this buzzy mixture of social horror and survival thriller.

The trailer starts off nicely enough, with our leads Cherie (Ella Balinska) and Ethan (Pilou Asbæk) having a nice first blind date. Unfortunately, when it's time for them to reconvene at Ethan's swanky mansion, he reveals his true sinister nature. As she flees the house on foot, Cherie must fight off against her assailant and his associates while also accepting help from women who may also have been among his victims. It sadly still feels as topical...
