‘Rust’ premiere stirs debate among Halyna Hutchins’ peers: ‘Should reconsider’

‘Rust’ screening raises eyebrows among cinematographers and public

Rust, the film that led to the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, is set to premiere at Poland’s EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Cinematography Film Festival next month.

In October 2021, Hutchins was killed by a live round from a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal, injuring director Joel Souza as well in the process.

The festival announced on Instagram that the world premiere is intended to “honour her [late cinematographer’s] memory and remind the world of her legacy.”

While no specific date has been disclosed, The Mirror US suggested the event will take place between November 16 and November 23.

However, the planned premiere has sparked controversy among Hutchins’ peers and the public.

Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison expressed discontent, “I’m all for memorialising Halyna and her beautiful work, but not by screening and promoting the film that killed her.”

Suzie Lavelle, known for her work on Hulu’s Normal People, echoed these concerns, urging, “Promoting a film that was shot with unsafe practices—leading to the death of its cinematographer—should be reconsidered.”

Public reactions have mirrored these sentiments, with many criticising the festival’s decision.

“The one festival in the entire world dedicated to the art of cinematography pulling this stunt is so tone-deaf. Honour the cinematographer, not the film that killed her and should never have been completed,” one commenter noted.

“To promote and celebrate a film that took the life of its cinematographer is unthinkable,” another user remarked.

Despite the backlash, the Rust premiere is still on the horizon.

Jessica Chastain faces backlash for complaint against airline company

Jessica Chastain criticised for airline complain 

Jessica Chastain seems to be deep under hot waters after flying above in the sky.

The Ava actress is facing backlash over the internet by fans who think her complaint about a flight is not suitable for some of her wealth and status.

On Wednesday, the 47-year-old Oscar winner took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam one airline after getting a refund for a malfunctioning “flight entertainment system”.

“Thanks you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of the money I paid you,” she wrote in the aggressive post. “Strange that I paid that for your flight entertainment system that didn’t work for the duration of my 6hr flight, but I guess it was worth it for this $15 credit.”

The actress shared a post that included a screenshot confirming she had received the credit, but a subsequent post sparked outrage among some fans. In it, Chastain expressed her frustration that she felt entitled to a larger credit than other passengers who purchased cheaper tickets on the same flight.

“I understand but I spent $1500 on the flight and so did my husband,” a screenshot shared by her showed her reply to a customer service representative, who told her that everyone with a seat-back television complaint got a $15 refund.

“There should be some flight credit or something since I have a TrueBlue account and have been a loyal customer.”

“jessica chastain is so embarrassing,” wrote on fan, while another said, “jessica chastain beefing with an airline publicly on twitter shows that no matter how much money you have you’ll never stop being a millennial.”

Another critic wondered, “first of all why is oscar winning movie star jessica chastain flying jet blue”.

‘Port Antonio’: J. Cole reveals why he exited Kendrick Lamar, Drake rap battle

J. Cole addresses Kendrick Lamar and Drake

J. Cole had a solid reason to back up from Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap battle immediately, and now after six months, the rapper has addressed his exit.

The 39-year-old record producer, has dropped a new track titled Port Antonio, where he addressed the escalating feud between him and fellow rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

The tensions started after Cole’s bold declaration on Drake’s song First Person Shooter, where he named himself, Drake, and Lamar as the “Big Three” of rap.

In response, Kendrick Lamar fired back with a strong verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s track Like That, saying, “F— sneak dissin’, first-person shooter / I hope they came with three switches… Motherf— the big three, n—-, it’s just big me.”

Before Drake had a chance to respond, J. Cole hit back with 7 Minute Drill from his surprise project Might Delete Later.

In the track, Cole took direct shots at Lamar’s body of work, saying, “Your first s— was classic, your last s— was tragic / Your second s— put n—– to sleep, but they gassed it / Your third s— was massive and that was your prime.”

He even described the song as a “warning shot.”

However, the American hip hop artist seemed to regret his actions soon.

“I’m so proud of that project except for one part,” Cole said onstage at his annual Dreamville Fest in North Carolina. “One part of that s— makes me feel like that’s the lamest s— I ever did in my f—ing life.” He even took the diss off of streaming platforms.

On Port Antonio, the musician tried to further resolve the matter.

“I can see hate in both of your eyes but the third’s blind,” Cole raps. “They instigate the f—ery because it’s profitable / But singin’ ‘stop the violence’ tunes when dudes in hospitals.”

Furher expanding on why he left the beef, “I pulled the plug because I’ve seen where that was ’bout to go /They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow / They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke / I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro / I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? / Just to attain some mo’ props from strangers that don’t got a clue what I been aimin’ for?”

Heath Ledger always knew ‘The Dark Knight’ would be a hit: ‘He was so smug’

‘The Dark Knight’ received critical acclaim, and Ledger even won an Oscar for his role as The Joker

Heath Ledger may have not been alive to witness it, but he always knew The Dark Knight (2008) would be a massive hit.

During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Andrew Garfield — who worked with Ledger on the 2009 film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus — recalled Ledger’s confidence after filming his iconic role as the Joker.

“He had just finished The Dark Knight and he was so smug about it,” Garfield, 41, shared, laughing.

The Amazing Spider-Man star further recalled that when he asked how the film turned out, Ledger replied, “Yeah, it’s really good,” with a calm assurance that suggested he already knew the Christopher Nolan film was destined for greatness.

Garfield, still early in his own career at the time, was starstruck by Ledger, who had already made a name for himself in movies like A Knight’s Tale, Brokeback Mountain, and 10 Things I Hate About You.

The actor — who is currently gearing up for the October 11th release of his new film with Florence Pugh called We Live in Time — also shared a humorous anecdote about Ledger’s reaction to seeing himself on the cover of Empire magazine. Ledger critiqued the photo, calling it a “f***ing s*** photo,” despite Garfield insisting it looked incredible.

Tragically, Ledger passed away in January 2008 before the film’s release, but when The Dark Knight hit theatres in July, his instincts were proven right. The film shattered box-office records and earned Ledger a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, cementing his unforgettable legacy.

Stewart admitted to having been unfaithful to her ex-husband, Andy Stewart, during the early stages of their relationship.

The documentary delves into various aspects of her life, offering viewers a deeper look at the experiences that shaped her.

“Young women, listen to my advice,” Martha said in the trailer. “If you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s–t.”

Off-camera, whose voice can be heard in the background, asked the 83-year-old what she thinks of an affair from her end, to which Martha replied, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

Martha and Andy got married in 1961 and parted ways later in 1987 and settled their divorce in 1990. The couple are parents to daughter Alexis Stewart, 59.
