The season premiere of The Bachelorette is less than two weeks away, and we can tell you for a fact that you are in for a WILD ride come May 27. Okay not really. It’s pretty standard by Bachelorette standards. While we’ve already posted The Bachelorette spoilers for the latter part of the coming season, the details of the individual episodes are still coming to light. Starting with the premiere, during which you can expect … Desiree Hartsock looking great. That was a given. Ben Scott bringing his kid. Who’s REALLY cute. Zak Waddell standing on the balcony nude. Some SERIOUS hornball creeper action. Magician Nick doing some tricks that are actually cool. Des giving out roses all night, just as Sean Lowe did. Kasey Stewart overusing hashtags. #likehardcore Juan Pablo charming and representing in a big way. A LITERAL knight in shining armor wooing Des. Gratuitous Desiree Hartsock video montages. Near constant use of the word “journey.” Lots of Chris Harrison hyperbole. Can you handle the excitement or what?!
Paul Giamatti does his classic screaming thing in this new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 still . Giamatti plays Aleksei Sytsevich, a.k.a The Rhino, in the new film. Andrew Garfield returns to star as Peter Parker in the superhero sequel, with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. Supporting characters from the Sam Raimi trilogy join the fray, with Shailene Woodley portraying Mary Jane Watson and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn. Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Martin Sheen, Chris Cooper, and B.J. Novak also star. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 premieres May 2, 2014.
In March, I wrote about how Robert Downey Jr. is about as close to indispensable as you can get to Marvel Studios ‘ lucrative superhero movie franchise — and now here’s proof from the man himself. In a very entertaining profile of the Iron Man 3 star in the May issue of GQ , Downey confirms to writer Chris Heath that his payday on The Avengers was in the $50-million ballpark. The exchange between the actor and the writer is a thing of beauty: $50-Million Iron Man “Whatever contract Downey signed when he agreed to appear in multiple movies as Iron Man allowed him a share of The Avengers’ payday far bigger than anyone could have anticipated. The Hollywood Reporter recently suggested that the true figure was around $50 million . It’s not the kind of thing most actors are prepared to talk about, but I ask Downey anyway. “Yeah,” he says, smiling. Is that number about right? “Yeah.” A broader smile. That’s amazing. “Isn’t that crazy?” he says. “They’re so pissed. I can’t believe it. I’m what’s known as ‘a strategic cost.’ ” Strategic cost! I bet that term was invented by the Nathan Thurm -like lawyer or public-relations consultant who came up with the term “collateral damage.” In other words, Downey is so valuable to Marvel that it’s better to swallow hard and open up the Disney coffers rather than attempt to hardball him into accepting to a less-than-mindblowing figure. In other words, Disney is not going to risk losing him. One of the Best Why does that make me smile? It’s partly because Downey is one of the great Hollywood comeback stories of all time, and I want to see that narrative arc continue trending upward. But I wouldn’t care so much about his personal story if he weren’t so damn compelling on screen. He knows it, too. Downey says he’ll be ” shocked ” (italics, courtesy of GQ ) if he doesn’t win at least one Oscar during his career and comparing himself to the current generation actors, he tells the magazine: “I’m probably one of the best. …But it’s not that big a deal. It’s not like this is the greatest swath or generation of actors that has ever come down the pike.” I don’t find that cocky. I find it authentic and true. Besides, as Downey also points out: “Nothing pleases me more than when somebody who was awe-inspired to be working with me realizes I’m just another schmuck that they’re bored of hanging out with on a set. I love that moment. I like it when that persistent illusion is smashed.” Okay, well, he’s probably being modest there. More on Robert Downey Jr.: Which ‘Avengers’ Cast Members Are Most Expendable?

If that LED hoodie that you see in the above photo is part of Jamie Foxx’s Electro costume for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , then doesn’t he remind you of another shocking villain: Star Wars uber-baddie Darth Sidious ? Part of the resemblance has to do with the hunched way in which Foxx is carrying himself and holding his hands in the photo, but look at the comparison below: Freaky, no? According to an interview Foxx gave to BlackFilm in December and other photos I’ve seen of him on the set, he’ll look nothing like the Sith lord when he emerges from that item of clothing. Fox appears to have subtle lightning-bolt-like veins on his neck and face. (Sidious looks like a more humanoid version of Yoda.) And he’s said that he’ll have “bolts and stuff in my arms when they are hanging me upside down and trying to figure out what [happened].” Not sure if Foxx means lightning bolts or actual Frankenstein-like bolts , but, if his upside-down scenes are anything like the ones he had in Django Unchained , I guess we’ll also find out if those bolts are everywhere on his body, if you know what I mean. Now, I’d love to see a shot of Paul Giamatti as the Rhino — as long as he doesn’t look like Dexter Jettster . Shocking Similarity: [ Blackfilm ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.
