Russell Crowe and Ethan Hawke to star in historical epic 'The Weight'

<p>Former President Barack Obama is facing significant criticism in the aftermath of a film release for which he served as a consultant. The movie, titled <em>Leave the World Behind,</em> has sparked controversy due to its purported focus on warning about white people. This development has raised questions about Obama's role in the production, particularly given his post-presidential involvement in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>Obama's production company Higher Ground's latest film,<em> Leave the World Behind,</em> has generated backlash for its apparent thematic focus on white individuals.</p>

<p>The film, a 2023 American apocalyptic psychological thriller directed by Sam Esmail, features an ensemble cast including Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la, and Kevin Bacon.</p>

<p>The plot revolves around Amanda Sanford, played by Julia Roberts, who embarks on an unplanned vacation to a rented house on Long Island with her family. As the narrative unfolds, technological breakdowns escalate, leading to a series of mysterious and unsettling events, including a blackout, distressed individuals seeking refuge, and geopolitical tensions hinted at by cryptic messages.</p>

<p>Following the film's debut on Netflix, individuals have turned to social media platforms to express their opinions about a particular moment within the movie. This specific scene depicts an African-American father-daughter duo, with the daughter&nbsp;saying, "I'm asking you to remember that if the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people."</p>

<p>One account on X called 'End Wokeness' shared the offending scene writing, "Barack &amp; Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: "Leave The World Behind". The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power &amp; cripples the United States. (Predictive programming?). They even managed to sneak in a scene bashing white people."</p>

<p>One individual called Will Cain posted on the same platform, "Barack and Michelle Obama executive produced, gave “major feedback” on the script, and “had a lot of notes about the characters” in Netflix’s<em> Leave the World Behind</em>. And this racist line is included: “trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people.”</p>

<p><em>Strange Way of Life</em>&nbsp;is a 30-minute film featuring Pascal, who has become a global icon since starring in the TV show <em>The Last of Us</em>, as a gunslinger who meets up with a sheriff (Hawke) he knew 25 years earlier.</p>

Pedro Pascal, Ethan Hawke 'queer Western' to premiere at Cannes 2023

<p>Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke recently shared his experience of working in a ‘Marvel’ web series, stating that "Marvel is extremely actor friendly, but might not be director friendly". Hawke, 51, recently joined ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ in the Disney+ Hotstar action series ‘Moon Knight’, where he portrayed the role of an antagonist, Arthur Harrow, alongside Oscar Issac.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Variety, the ‘Sinister’ actor, in an interview with an American publication, shared his personal experience working with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which he stated, "That group of people [at Marvel] is extremely actor-friendly. They might not be director-friendly, and that could be what Scorsese and Coppola are talking about. But they love actors".</p>

<p>Previously, the ‘24 Hours to Live’ actor took a dig at the critics for calling comic book cinemas as art cinemas. "I think Kevin Feige had a great thing happen with Robert Downey Jr. and he understood that Downey’s passion was a large part of the success. When actors are excited by a part, audiences get excited about watching them."</p>

<p>"Feige understood the algorithm there, so they're extremely respectful toward the process. The best thing about ‘Moon Knight’ for me was Oscar’s performance. It’s a gonzo thing that happens to have a giant budget---a pretty out-there performance." Hawke added.</p>

<p>Being asked by the American publication, will Hawke work with ‘Marvel’ in future or not? He stated, "I’m not supposed to talk about it. I had to sign an NDA about dealing with them, but I’m not interested in long-term commitments. I protected myself because I didn't know what it was going to be. I just wanted to know what that sandbox was like. And it's what young people are watching, so why are we going to sit there and tell them it's not good?" Variety reported.</p>

Ethan Hawke: 'Marvel might not be director friendly'

<p>The winning director-screenwriter duo of C. Robert Cargill and Scott Derrickson (credits: Sinister, Doctor Strange) return with the much-anticipated horror-thriller 'The Black Phone', based on the eponymous short story written by author Joe Hill.</p>

<p>Finney Shaw (Mason Thames) and his younger sister Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) live in a small town in Colorado, US. They do not have a mother and have an alcoholic, violent man as a father. So for the most part have each other. Finney is your typical nice kid who gets bullied by classmates and does not fight back. Gwen, although tiny, is feisty and unafraid.</p>

<p>Gwen believes her dreams are not just dreams, but present glimpses of reality, something that also happened to her mother. Their town is rocked by a spate of kidnappings of children. Finney's close friend and later Finney himself also ends up being grabbed by the mysterious man behind the abductions who is dubbed, rather unimaginatively, the 'Grabber'. Now, it is up to him and his wits, and also his plucky sister and her dreams that can save him as law enforcement, as it often happens in these stories, has proven to be fairly ineffectual.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3eGP6im8AZA" title="The Black Phone - Official Trailer" width="1280"></iframe></p>

<p>'The Black Phone', for half an hour or so, watches like another of those homages to 1980s and 1970s horror fiction&nbsp;that have little personality of their own, instead relying on the nostalgia factor. It is when Ethan Hawke's 'Grabber' enters the picture the film really finds its feet.</p>

<p>Hawke, who by his own admission had loads of fun playing cult leader Arthur Harrow in the MCU TV series Moon Knight, turns in a magnificently eerie performance here. He has been a great actor for decades, but villainous roles may be where he really shines. The 'Grabber' is not your typical psychopath. He feels less a movie villain than something ripped off of Mindhunter, in that there is a sense of realism with him instilled by the writing and Hawke's performance.</p>

<p>There are layers to him that the writing wisely leaves to the moviegoer to uncover. Similar to how Heath Ledger's Joker was conceived and written by Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan in 'The Dark Knight', we do not really learn for sure what caused the 'Grabber' to become what he is -- save for a few hints. Cargill and Derrickson realise, better than most writers, that the most potent fear is fear of the unknown. This is why we are afraid of the dark.</p>

<p>Not as nihilistic as Sinister, 'The Black Phone' is terrifying in its own ways. Most horror fans are admittedly not fond of jump scares, but Derrickson is an old hand here and executes them with a veteran's ease. The atmosphere also helps infuse a sense of dread, assisted by impressive camerawork of the cinematographer. Apart from Hawke, both lead young actors, Thames and McGraw, also impress with their utter commitment to their respective roles.</p>

<p>'The Black Phone' excels in nearly every regard. Are you a horror or thriller fan? Do not miss this.</p>

A look at the life and career of Ethan Hawke as he prepares to turn 50

<p>For all those who have binge-watched the latest season of Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ or have even seen the first few would know that the show has added a couple of new characters like the unmissable Robin to Steve as they work together at an ice cream parlour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, Robin is Maya Hawke -- daughter of the former couple Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The world was almost oblivious to Maya until the proud parents introduced her on their social media profiles, congratulating her on her work in the series. Ethan shared a video on his profile and wrote, "Some of you may have missed her in last year's BBC production of Little Women. Some of you may have missed her work at Juilliard. I know many missed out on numerous high school productions heck I even missed a few and I'm her father.</p>

<p>"Some of you may know her music, some may not. But Ladies and Gentleman, get to know MAYA HAWKE. She's the real thing. #StrangerThings."</p>

For all those who have binge-watched the latest season of Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ or have even seen the first few would know that the show has added a couple of new characters like the unmissable Robin to Steve as they work together at an ice cream parlour. Well, Robin is Maya Hawke -- daughter of the former couple Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. The world was almost oblivious to Maya until the proud parents introduced her on their social media profiles, congratulating her on her work in the series. Ethan shared a video on his profile and wrote, "Some of you may have missed her in last year's BBC production of Little Women. Some of you may have missed her work at Juilliard. I know many missed out on numerous high school productions heck I even missed a few and I'm her father. "Some of you may know her music, some may not. But Ladies and Gentleman, get to know MAYA HAWKE. She's the real thing. #StrangerThings." View this post on Instagram Some of you may have missed her in last year’s BBC production of Little Women.
