              We would have totally loved Angelina Jolie’s direction in the film. Nonetheless, Sam did a great job too!Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan rose to fame with the Fifty Shades Of Grey franchise with their role of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey respectively. They have got a massive fan following post the success of films. But do y’all know, not Sam Taylor-Johnson but Angelina Jolie was the first choice to direct the film?Yes, that’s correct. The beautiful mommy has already directed films like Unbroken, By The Sea and First They Killed My Father to name a few.n an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Angelina Jolie revealed why she declined to direct the Fifty Shades Films and said, “I – I think they’re just … itpkrb’s funny, I think with directing, you just think, “I’m better at telling some stories than others,” but, um, who knows? I came very clear out of the gate: after Blood And Honey, if I ever directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film." Isn’t that great? But we would have totally loved Angelina Jolie’s direction in the film. Nonetheless, Sam did a great job too! Meanwhile, have you ever wondered how much Dakota earned with her raunchy character in Fifty Shades? For the unversed, Dakota Johnson’s role as Anastasia was pretty bold. Her character involved a lot of innocence and sweetness, but there was a lot of steamy romance. And with that came multiple intimate scenes. In fact, Dakota even had to go n*de for multiple of them. Of course, she charged a hefty sum for the same.But we’re a little shocked with the fact that Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan almost earned equal amounts. We mean, equality all the way as far as the pay parity goes. But Dakota had a lot more bold scenes, and most actors charge double the amount for the same. For example, Megan Fox charged a huge sum for her role in the Transformers.Albeit, if reports are to be believed, Dakota Johnson was paid $250,000 for her role in Fifty Shades Of Grey. That’s almost 1.90 crores in INR, back in 2015 that must have been a huge amount, isn’t it? But the best part is the hike they got for the successive franchise.Those are some huge numbers, isn’t it?

Eternals: New Action Figure Leaks Tease Angelina Jolie's Role in Movie

Written by Comic book

       In a perfect world, Chloe Zhao's Eternals would have already been released; and the same goes for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Before Hollywood ground to halt earlier this year, Marvel Studios and the Disney marketing machine were already gearing up for any regular year with movies, shows, consumer products, and all. Earlier this year, we started getting additional looks at Falcon and the Winter Soldier due to the show's various merchandising assets popping up online. Now, we're in a similar boat with Eternals and Hasbro's wildly popular Marvel Legends line.More packaging of the Eternals-centric wave has surfaced online, giving fans at least a slight look at the characterization of Thena, the Eternals character played by Angelina Jolie. With Gilgamesh serving as the wave's Build-A-Figure, it's revealed on the packaging he and Thena are "de-facto partners." "Gilgamesh, o mais forte e bondoso dos Eternos, e Thena tornaram-se um casal após certos eventos do passado os separarem dos outros Eternos.
       "The strongest and kindest Eternal, Gilgamesh becomes Thena's de-facto partner when the events of the past exile them from the other Eternals," the figure's description reads. In addition to the six-piece Build-A-Figure. Ikaris (Richard Madden), Makkari (Lauren Ridloff), Sprite (Lia McHugh), Sersi (Gemma Chan), Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry), Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), and Druig (Barry Keoghan) are the other figures included. Earlier in the year, we also saw a standalone figure of Salma Hayek's Ajak, with a massive headpiece and all. Coincidentally enough, Chan's character in Eternals is the second Marvel role she's played in as many movies. She previously played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel before being killed off. “My character dies in [Captain Marvel], so I thought there was no chance that I would really be coming back, which I was a bit bummed about,” Chan previously said of her Marvel return. “But then I encountered [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin Feige during the awards circuit for Crazy Rich Asians and out of the blue, he just came up and said, ‘We'd love to have you back. We’d love to make better use of you. We want you to do something else, so let’s find that project.’ But, to be honest, I had no idea that it would be so soon.”

Eternals is currently set for release on November 5, 2021.

Angelina Jolie 'Livid' With Gal Gadot Over 'Cleopatra' Role?

Details

Written by Gossip Cop

         Was Angelina Jolie “livid” with Gal Gadot because she’d “stolen” the role of Cleopatra? A tabloid reported that Jolie felt like Gadot had ruined her “dream” of playing the legendary Egyptian queen. Gossip Cop looked into the report and can add our own insight. Angelina Jolie Versus Gal Gadot? The National Enquirer claimed Angelina Jolie was bent way out of shape over the news that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot had been tapped to play Cleopatra in an upcoming film directed by Patty Jenkins, who also helmed Wonder Woman. Jolie, the tabloid posited, was positively “livid” that Gadot had swooped in underneath her and “stolen” the iconic role that Elizabeth Taylor had made famous. “Angie’s dream was to play Cleopatra, the role that made Elizabeth Taylor an icon,” a source revealed. Jolie has been attached to a Cleopatra movie for nearly 10 years now, and has spoken over the years about her desire to play the Egyptian ruler. All those years have now gone to waste, the source told the tabloid, and Jolie knows just who to blame. It was going to be the part that won Angie an Academy Award for Best Actress, and now that’s over thanks to Gal, who will be playing the Queen of the Nile instead.   “Angie is insulted and upset,” the source continued. “She feels she was born to play Cleopatra and it was no secret that she’d been working on the script and meeting with top directors for the project for years.” All that bitterness and resentment has allegedly found itself a target in Gal Gadot, the tipster ominously concluded.Let’s just say Gal better not run into Angelina any time soon without a Roman general like Mark Antony to protect her!
         How very convenient for the tabloid that the person Angelina Jolie was supposedly so “livid” with was also an A-list actress. The story would have been a bit harder to sell if the target of Jolie’s ire had been someone relatively less well-known, like the upcoming Cleopatra film’s director, Patty Jenkins. Though it can be argued that she’s just as guilty of “stealing” the Cleopatra film as Gal Gadot, the outlet strangely chose not to mention her at all. It’s likely a huge disappointment to Jolie that her Cleopatra film never got its day in the sun, but it seems very unrealistic that she’d be furious with Gal Gadot of all people over it. Jolie has been trying to get her film off the ground for almost a decade now, and a lot has changed in Jolie’s life since she first confirmed she wanted to play the Queen of the Nile. Besides, there can be more than one Cleopatra movie, which means Jolie still has a shot at the iconic role. This outlet probably just wanted to exploit the new film’s announcement in order to entice readers. This is far from the first time a tabloid has used Jolie’s well-publicized desire to play Cleopatra as evidence of a feud between herself and another A-list celebrity. Last year, two of the Enquirer’s sister outlets, OK! and Star, both claimed Jolie was battling with Lady Gaga after rumors emerged that the A Star Is Born actress was in the running to star as Cleopatra. The latter publication later insisted that Bradley Cooper would star in the film as well. Both accounts were entirely false, Gossip Cop found. Clearly, tabloids aren’t the place to go for casting news.
