‘Zorro’ Star Gets Slaughtered for Daring to Suggest Tom Holland as His Replacement

Hollywood has made a concerted effort to move away from its long-held and historically unsavory practice of whitewashing certain roles, so it came as something of a surprise when no less of an authority than Antonio Banderas suggested London-born Tom Holland as the perfect candidate to replace him in a potential Zorro legacy sequel. The two worked together on Uncharted, and while the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man is a widely-beloved star that’s equally comfortable when it comes to tackling both action and drama,…

‘Why can’t we do it?’: the Ringham brothers’ daring sound designs | Stage

Max and Ben Ringham had wildly clashing music tastes growing up. There were “sound wars” in their bedroom as a result. They did, however, pool their equipment – musical instruments, keyboards, samplers – which piled up high at one end of the room.That pile turned into a mountain and then followed them into a shared London studio in their 20s when they decided to make music together. They have now been in a professional partnership of 25 years which began with composing drum’n’bass records, then making TV production music,…

Pleasure film: Meet the makers of the most daring movie of the year

I thought that everyone would be mad at me,” says Ninja Thyberg, the Swedish director of what is likely to be the most explicit film you’ll see in a cinema this year – maybe even this decade. “I thought the porn industry people would be mad; the feminists would be mad; the conservatives would be mad. I expected a lot of hate.” Instead, she says with a smile, responses to her daring debut Pleasure have been quite the opposite.While Thyberg, 37, has just received the illustrious Women in Motion Young Talent Award at the…

Lolita at 60: Stanley Kubrick’s daring drama is a deft tightrope act | Lolita

But despite the pedigree of the beloved film-maker Stanley Kubrick, the first film adaptation of Lolita – released 60 years ago this week – is arguably more of a curio these days, forced to excise or elide some of the book’s thorniest elements for the sake of being allowed to exist at all.The sheer unlikelihood of a Lolita movie being…

‘Redemption is a powerful concept’: Hayden Christensen on Star Wars and daring to return as Darth Vader | Star Wars

Hayden Christensen has a confession to make. “I have a seven-year old-daughter; I have not shown her Star Wars,” the actor says, as though he has just admitted a shameful secret. “I know! I know! I feel like I’m probably dragging my feet a little bit at this point, because all of her friends have seen the movies. And, of course, she’s aware of my involvement in them.”Christensen’s hesitancy is perhaps to be expected. When he took on the roles of Anakin Skywalker and Skywalker’s later incarnation, Darth Vader, in the Star…

Dueling electric motorcycles set new record in daring race across the US

Two electric motorcycles and their determined riders recently set off to strike a new cannonball run record, racing in opposing directions across the US in a bid to reach the opposite coast first. Just 111 hours later, rider Steven Day set that new record and demonstrated the possibilities offered by high performance electric motorcycles and distributed quick charging networks. This of course wasn’t Steven’s first brush with coast-to-coast rides. When I first met Steven Day at an Energica event last month, the…
