Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' gets buzz. Tom Hardy cannot be bothered. Miles Teller discovers the Streisand effect. Kane Parsons and Curry Barker gang up on Grogu. AI makes history (again) as we look at who won and lost the week.
LOSER: Tom Hardy: Find somebody who loves you the way this man loves a Star Waggon. The actor’s alleged behavior on the MobLand set — refusing to come out of his portable abode for hours at a time, holding up production — is doubly damaging PR because it’s the same thing he was previously called out for on the Mad Max: Fury Road set more than a decade ago (after an hours-long wait, Charlize Theron reportedly yelled at Hardy, “Fine the fucking [c-word] a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he’s held up this crew. How disrespectful you are!”).
But here’s a telling quote from a source close to the MobLand production: “Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide.” This is such an industry thing to say that many will miss what’s wrong with it. It should be career suicide to keep any cast and crew waiting for hours while you do … whatever… in your trailer. The “Brosnan and Mirren are royalty, how dare he!” stance is another way of saying the more famous you are, the more your feelings matter — which just keeps this whole entitlement thing rolling.
