    Tom Cruise reportedly flew into a rage on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7” after becoming irritated by noisy branches on the roof of his trailer.

    According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the 58-year-old actor couldn’t stand the noisy trees while relaxing in between takes for the new instalment of the spy franchise and called on local workers to come and cut them down.

    Insiders shared, “There isn’t much Tom can’t put up with. So imagine how baffled everyone was when there was such a fuss made over a tree.”

    “The branches hanging over were knocking on the roof of the trailer which Tom and some of the other cast had been using.”

    “Apparently the noise was becoming beyond irritating and they couldn’t stand it any longer. Two local lads were called out to sort out the problem and cut down the offending branches.”

    The source also claimed the set has been busy with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Tom and his co-star and rumoured girlfriend Hayley Atwell.

    Two paramedics, who stopped to get pictures, were reportedly hauled away by security and ordered to delete the images they had taken.

    The latest incident comes following reports last year (20) that five crew members on the “Mission: Impossible” set had quit after Tom launched into two rants.

    The actor was said to have sounded off on staff after he caught them breaking U.K. coronavirus rules at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.

    AceShowbiz –
    Noah Centineo has bowed out of a project that will see him heading to the realm of Eternia. More than two years after it was reported that he was in talks to portray fictional superhero He-Man in “Masters of the Universe” movie, he has now exited the film.

    Back in March 2019, there were mixed responses to Centineo’s casting as Prince Adam a.k.a. He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, who must fight the evil Skeletor to save the planet Eternia and protect the secrets of Castle Grayskull. While some thought that the 24-year-old hunk was not big enough to portray He-Man, some others were just excited that the character would be brought back to the big screen.

    ‘Triumph’ Review: Going to the Mat

    The film tells the story of an aspiring high school wrestler with cerebral palsy.“Triumph” tells the story of Mike (RJ Mitte), a high school senior in the 1980s who aspires to join the wrestling team. Because he has cerebral palsy, even adults who admire his resolve — like Coach Warren (Terrence Howard), who teaches Mike in a phys-ed class, and Mike’s single father (Johnathon Schaech) — don’t initially believe he can do it. Directed by Brett Leonard, the film was inspired by the experiences of its screenwriter, Michael D. Coffey.The relentlessness with which Mike is underestimated (just from looking at him, a literature teacher tells him to sign up for special education instead of regular classes) gives “Triumph” a distinctive angle. But it’s still pretty hokey as a movie. Mike is bullied by another wrestler (Eric Pasto-Crosby), and he develops a crush on a popular girl (Grace Victoria Cox). Mike befriends a jock (Colton Haynes) who becomes his ally in the weight room, and who ultimately needs lifting up himself.These clichés may have a basis in fact. There’s less excuse for some of the dialogue. “Right now, his biggest obstacle is himself,” Coach Warren tells Mike’s dad, who has visited him to tell him that his son should stay focused on his classes and not “this wrestling thing.” “I just don’t want him to get hurt again,” the father adds. (In a prologue, we’ve seen a 9-year-old Mike break his collarbone in a youth wrestling competition.)Mitte, who played the son in “Breaking Bad” and himself has cerebral palsy, sells Mike’s tenacity, but the contrivances around him let him down.TriumphRated PG-13. Wrestling violence. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes. In theaters. Please consult the guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before watching movies inside theaters.

    Angelina Jolie Finds Her Comeback as 'Broken Person' in New Film After Brad Pitt Split 'Very Healing

    WENN

    The ‘Maleficent’ actress explains she was drawn to her character in new thriller ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’ because the woman is broken but manages to overcome it.

    Apr 30, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Angelina Jolie found it “healing” to star as a “very broken person” forced to get back on her feet in her new thriller “Those Who Wish Me Dead”.

    The single mother-of-six makes her return to action movies for the first time in over a decade with the Taylor Sheridan movie, but it wasn’t the physical side of playing firefighter Hannah Faber, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder following an on-the-job tragedy she holds herself responsible for, that drew her to the project.

    Angelina, who separated from ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2016, told U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, “I am drawn to people who have been through something and are broken and then find their way forward and overcome it.”

    “As an artist, it’s very healing to play people like that. She’s been very healing for me, because you just get so broken and then you stand back up. (Hannah is) a very broken person who carries a great deal of guilt.”

    The film follows Hannah as she tries to protect a 12-year-old boy, played by Finn Little, from a fire and the hitmen who are in hot pursuit after unwittingly witnessing a murder.

    And Angelina insists the story is more than just a “thriller”. “On its surface, it feels like a great thriller, a great adventure across an unusual terrain inside a great fire,” she said.

    “Underneath it, it’s a really emotional film. It’s about people who have a great impact on each other and change each other. Emotionally and practically, they go through the fire.”
