Robert Downey Jr. talked about the worst event of his career

by Hollie Scott

written by Hollie Scott

American actor Robert Downey Jr. is known for his turbulent youth, when along with the main roles came to him fame not always associated with cinema. From the height of his years, the actor realises that he was very lucky when he was not given an Oscar in 1993 for Best Actor in “Chaplin” by Richard Attenborough. A win then would have destroyed him as an actor. But now it’s fair and square, and he’s at his best, as the actor proudly points out.
After his first Oscar nomination, the actor became a regular in the tabloids with blazing headlines. In 1996, he was arrested for possession of heroin, cocaine and a gun, Downey got off with three years probation. However, a year later, the actor still went to jail for four months when he failed a drug test. Three years later, he was sentenced to three years in prison for the same reason, and he served 15 months.

Thomas Vinterberg’s “One More” won the 2021 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the BAFTA award. The plot centres on four bored schoolteachers in crisis who start drinking daily to see if it is true that a small dose of alcohol makes people happier.
American comedian, actor and director Chris Rock will film a remake of Thomas Vinterberg’s Oscar-winning film “One More”, starring Mads Mikkelsen. The film will be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio with his company Appian Way, in 2021 there were reports that the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star could also star in the film.

As a director, Rock, known primarily as a comedian and actor, established himself with “The Top Five,” a film for which Rock himself wrote the screenplay. The film was bought by Paramount Pictures at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival for $12.5 million, the biggest deal at the screening. Rock also directed the successful films Head of State and I Think I Love My Wife. And in the autumn, news broke that he is also preparing a film about Martin Luther King.

The “Dragon House” star is the new Supergirl

by Hollie Scott

written by Hollie Scott

DC Studios has decided on a new Supergirl for the new universe based on DC Comics. Studio bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran have chosen Australian actress Millie Allcock, known for her role as young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO’s “House of the Dragon” spin-off series, “Game of Thrones”, to play Kara Zor-El.
Millie is a fantastically talented young actress and I’m incredibly excited for her to be a part of the DCU. Yes, I first saw her in “House of the Dragon,” but during auditions and screen tests for the role of Supergirl, I was blown away by her acting range. She embodies the character as comic book writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely and screenwriter Ana Nogueira envisioned him.

Gunn and Safran also added that Millie Olcock will not be the Supergirl that audiences are used to. She will be contrasted with her cousin Superman.

We’ll see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from infancy, and Supergirl, who grew up on a rock, a shard of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in horrible ways for the first 14 years of her life before being brought to Earth.

Jake Gyllenhaal destroyed a $30 million film in four days with his wild antics

by Hollie Scott

written by Hollie Scott

Last year in France came out a survival film “Island of Outcasts” about a married couple who find themselves trapped on an island near Antarctica. Interestingly, the tape at the beginning of production itself was on the verge of survival – it was planned to shoot with Jake Gyllenhaal and Vanessa Kirby, and the project was supposed to be a Hollywood dream for director Tom Bidegen. But in just four days of filming, the dream was derailed by Gyllenhaal’s psychopathic behaviour.

Outcast Island was originally planned to be filmed entirely in English under the title Suddenly, with an extravagant €26 million budget and Hollywood stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Vanessa Kirby. Rumours of creative differences between the actor and director emerged immediately after filming was suspended, but no one knew what exactly the two creators disagreed on.
According to journalists, the only culprit for failure is capricious and overbearing Gyllenhaal, who was not only the lead actor, but also the producer of the film, for the lead female role in which also tried, by the way, Margot Robbie, Anne de Armas and Jodie Comer.

Large-scale production promised high hopes, but as soon as the creators stepped on Irish soil, paranoid Gyllenhaal all tortured his fear of COVID, unpredictable behaviour and endless rewrites of the already accepted script. It turns out that he really wanted to rethink the entire project just eight weeks before the scheduled start of production, when the sets were already being built according to the approved text. According to the director, “My lead actor, who had fully approved the script, was now challenging every scene, the slightest line of dialogue, the slightest comma.

Scientists have discovered that the concept of common sense doesn’t exist

by Hollie Scott

written by Hollie Scott

Just over two thousand people took part in the study and were asked to evaluate over 4.4 thousand different statements from the point of view of common sense. For example: “Avoid close contact with sick people” or “All people are created equal”.

The surveys showed that respondents’ answers varied quite a lot, and what may have seemed normal to one respondent seemed abnormal to another. At the same time, “collective” common sense, when people agreed, was very rare. The experts also pointed out that a person’s personal opinion on certain issues strongly affects his perception of common sense.

Archaeologists have uncovered the secrets of a merchant ship that sank in the XV century

A team of archaeologists examined the remains of a ship that sank back in the 15th century and uncovered new facts that gave a different perspective on the vessel.
It is noted that the so-called “Madero Shipwreck” was first discovered back in the 60s of last century in the waters of the Stockholm Archipelago off the coast of Sweden in the Baltic Sea. Only 40 years later, new dives were made to the wreck site, but the data obtained were either incomplete or not published and many questions about the wreck remained unanswered.

In 2022, a team of scientists from Stockholm University conducted an investigation that included inspecting and documenting visible parts of the ship, as well as taking samples, which together provided new information about the wreck. Especially, as the researchers observed, several key and informative parts of the hull are visible above the seabed, and the ship’s cargo is also easily accessible, providing a wealth of information without impacting the ship’s remains.

The crockery of an ancient culinary misfit has been found in Germany

by Hollie Scott

written by Hollie Scott

According to German archaeologists, ancient people cooked porridge on fire back in the New Stone Age. This conclusion was made during recent excavations when they came across fragments of charred utensils, presumably a cauldron.

The find was discovered in a rubbish heap at the site of the Neolithic settlement LA 7 on the site of present-day Oldenburg.

According to archaeobotanist Lucy Kubiak-Martens, at the first glance at the remains of the cauldron, the scientists realised that something interesting was waiting for them.

The results of chemical analysis showed that the cauldron was used to cook cereals. Thousands of years ago, spelt (filmy wheat) and barley were cooked there on the fire. In addition, the dish included a protein-rich wild plant – white goosefoot.
