Daniel Dae Kim found a semblance of redemption this week after Variety reported that he is in talks to join the cast of the upcoming Hellboy reboot, taking Ed Skrein’s place as Major Ben Aimio. Skrein dropped out of the film project last month amid claims that the film was whitewashing the character (in the original comic series, Major Ben Aimio is described as a character of mixed Asian heritage). “Last week it was announced that I would be playing Major Ben Daimio in the upcoming HELLBOY reboot,” he tweeted at the time. “I accepted the role unaware that the character in the original comics was of mixed Asian heritage. There has been intense conversation and understandable upset since that announcement, and I must do what I feel is right.” The British actor’s decision to take a stand against whitewashing in Hollywood came after a series of controversial casting decisions in which white actors portrayed people of Asian descent. Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Matt … [Read more...] about Daniel Dae Kim to Replace Ed Skrein in ‘Hellboy’ After Whitewashing Controversy

It’s sure to go down as one of the iconic images in our history: first-generation Cuban-American Emma González, brown-skinned and bald-pated and queer, standing silent and tearful, mournful and proud, bringing the March for Our Lives in D.C. to a hush at first puzzling, then immeasurably profound. For the liberal-minded among us, González – along with her compatriots, and the marchers in at least 450 other places – blew in like an early shot of political spring, opening a sunny crack in the chill gray clouds that have hovered and threatened and darkened everything since November 8th, 2016. Sure, this break in the gloom only lasted about five minutes (or six minutes and 20 seconds ). The spell was dashed as soon as Stormy Daniels began responding to Anderson Cooper’s gentle questions on 60 Minutes . But the bracing honesty and irreverent optimism of the movement spawned by González’s fellow survivors at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School gave us the first shot of hope in a … [Read more...] about The Lame Blowback to March For Our Lives

Martin Scorsese is developing a television version of his 2002 film Gangs of New York , which starred Daniel-Day Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio as leaders of rival New York City gangs in the mid- to late-1800s. Deadline Hollywood reports the new series will focus on the early 1900s and the birth of organized crime in America, telling the stories of gangs in Chicago and New Orleans, as well as New York. Martin Scorsese Responds to Lawsuit Over Unmade Film “This time and era of America’s history and heritage is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film,” Scorsese said. “A television series allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life.” Scorsese currently acts as an executive producer (and directed the pilot) for HBO’s Boardwalk Empire , a period drama set in a Prohibition-era Atlantic City filled with corrupt politicians and … [Read more...] about Martin Scorsese Working on ‘Gangs of New York’ TV Show

Just three days before the May 17 primary in Pennsylvania to decide the Republican candidate for governor, Donald Trump announced his endorsement of frontrunner Doug Mastriano , a far-right state senator who has backed the former president’s election claims and even attended the Jan. 6 rally outside the Capitol. “There is no one in Pennsylvania who has done more, or fought harder, for Election Integrity than State Senator Doug Mastriano,” Trump said in a statement. “He has revealed the Deceit, Corruption, and outright Theft of the 2020 Presidential Election, and will do something about it,” Trump said in a statement Saturday, adding that Mastriano “is a fighter like few others, and has been with me right from the beginning, and now I have an obligation to be with him.” (Trump also reiterated his endorsement for Dr. Mehmet Oz, despite the MAGA fanbase’s displeasure with that reality TV candidate.) And there it is. Three days until the primary, and Trump wades into … [Read more...] about Trump Endorses Far-Right Gubernatorial Candidate Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania GOP Primary

Stranger Things star David Harbour takes over the role of Hellboy in the first trailer for Hellboy, the cult comic book character’s return to the big screen.

Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim (who replaced Ed Skrein following a brief whitewashing controversy ), Sasha Lane and Milla Jovovich, as the “ancient sorceress bent on revenge,” round out the cast for Hellboy’s third visit to the big screen.
