his music over his personal happiness for years I think in the first decade of my career I was intensely unhappy as I had no balance I was just work work work And yes everything was hypersuccessful but it was hypersuccessful because I had no personal life at allWork was everything I think finding that balance with getting married having a family living around my friends Being able to spend time with my friends and family that has now become 70 percent of my life and work is like 30 percent Before it was 100 per cent and zero anything else Sheeran told The Sun newspaperHe added The balance of getting to exist as a human being rather than just a pop star machine that would be my measure of successSheeran who has daughters Lyra five and threeyearold Jupiter with his wife Cherry Seaborn now makes sure he and his family take priority over his career reports femalefirstcoukHe said The stage I am at in my career is that I am really happy and settled I am really happy with who I am as an artist the music I am creating and the shows I am doing Honestly the biggest thing for me is being able to balance being a dad and being a husband and to feel like I am achieving both things to a good levelThe Perfect hitmaker talked about working too hard during his younger years but he now wants to enjoy his success and his family lifeSheeran said To be that successful in my 20s you have to give everything of yourself all day every day and theres a time limit to that sanitywise I see it now and when I hang out with new artists who are in the zone it just compounds the feeling for me of being That aint me any moreYou know work 16 hours a day and just be in it You have to do that at some point in life but at some point you have to just take your foot off the gas a little bit especially when you have children IANS https://dailyworld.in/hollywood/ed-sheeran-in-the-first-decade-of-my-career-i-was-intensely-unhappy-639167.html Thu, 18 Sep 2025 11:34:00 +0530

the movie during an interview with Variety at the festival reports varietycomThe star who underwent a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 because she carried the BRCA1 gene couldnt help but think of her family historyHer mother Marcheline Bertrand died of ovarian and breast cancer in 2007 and her aunt and grandmother also died of the illnessThe Oscar winning actress sought comfort by wearing one of her late mothers necklaces onscreen in Couture reports peoplecomI feel like its such a personal film the mother of six saidShe added It felt so private that in my mind its probably the one film that doesnt feel like a filmI thought it would be interesting to show her fragility and the woman behind the icon the director saidWhat I love about Angelina is that shes in the Hollywood system but at the same time shes a kind of a rebel a rebel to the authorityJolie knew signing on to the film would bring up many personal thingsBut I have always found the heaviest films tend to have the most loving sets Theres something quite comforting about having real conversations and having real feelings with a shared communityIt was quite healing in many ways because you look at the other faces of the people on the set because one in three people have cancer and most everybodys been in a hospital room with somebody theyve loved Everybody on set has lost someone theyve lovedShe continued You

in a car for an hour and a half but it was a great group great crew Davids amazing and Im very proud of what we have done here It was fun Its a different type of role I dont think Ive done before and I try to choose roles that feel unique and challenging in different waysHe shared that they tried to find how many different corners one can use in this car for not a shot to repeat itself and that was pretty hardWe also built a car on a stage where the walls would move apart so the camera could do things it physically couldnt in that confined spaceThe film follows the story is Eddie played by Skarsgard He takes on the character of a thief who breaks into a luxury car only to realize that hes walked into a calculated game of psychological terrorWhat begins as a routine heist quickly spirals into a deadly mind game as the vehicle becomes both his prison and battleground As the hours stretched into eternity Eddie faces a relentless test of both endurance sanity and resilienceAdding to the sense of unease is the mysterious and chilling voice of Anthony Hopkins as William whose unseen character manipulates the events from outside heightening the claustrophobic tension and pushing Eddie further toward the edge as per the synopsisTalking about his experience working with Yarovesky the actor shared There was something very unique about the script It was essentially doing the whole movie without costars and yes we had the voice of Anthony HopkinsThen one day I met with David and we really just hit it off He was like Its just going to be you me and a car buddy and thats what it was We leaned on each other in a massive way Its a very performancedriven movie It was ten different colours of torture The movie was challenging it took its toll in a waySkarsgard added Like I spent 4 weeks in that car and there were moments like you are freezing to death screaming in agony being shot in the leg or you are sweating profuselyAnd I tried to give it a 110 to each and every moment and tried to kind of feel that pain while I was doing itIt was obviously not easy but I am happy how it turned out and very thankful that I had David He really was a partner in this one and I loved

hurrah said FarmigaI think this particular story is an appropriate ending to Ed and Lorraines story because I think this particular demon that theyre fighting has a personal vendetta against these two that goes back decades rightShe added And this demon in particular is a vengeful bloodthirsty deathinducing macabre demon that will not rest until it gets what it wants And what it wants is very very personal to who they areWe needed that story to engage said WilsonThe actor added And then I think for us we needed to see them both in peril and in heroic moments but also these middleaged people examining where they areas we all doand asking What are we doing with our livesAnd I think its important for Ed and Lorraine at that point as theyre ushering in a new era with their daughter to figure out where shes going and what it means to sacrifice yourself both physically and emotionallySo it was all of those sorts of emotions and themes that needed to play into it As an older couple looking at youth looking at their lives have they accomplished what they wanted to Is there anything else Or maybe its better just for them to ride off into the sunset Thats the struggle that we wanted to

hour its filled with drama and excitement These are enormously powerful machines theyre basically sitting in rockets as they go around the trackAnd its not an oval its a road courseHe said it is very excitingSo you know they have to hit these corners at 220 then brake down to 50 Its very exciting And its a great setup for drama Thats why we put Brad Pitt in this movieto give you that excitementBruckheimer said they brought British race car champion Lewis Hamilton on as a producer to ensure the films authenticity and accuracy in portraying F1But the first thing we did was go to Lewis Hamilton the seventime world champion F1 driver and ask him to work on the movie with us He became a producer and he kept us honesthe made sure we got everything accurateBruckheimer shared that Hollywood star Brad Pitt insisted on driving the race cars himself and Lewis Hamilton confirmed he was skilled enough to do itHe said When Brad Pitt decided to do the movie he said The only way Ill do it is if I can actually drive the cars So Lewis took Brad to the track and got him into a very highpowered car to see how good a driver he was And Lewis said Look hes an amazing athletehe can do thisThen Lewis took him for the ride of his life around the track at full speed That was pretty exciting for Brad It shows you what these drivers can doThe producer said the entire process was built around the fact that Brad was going to drive the cars himself throughout the entire filmingSo every time you cut to a shot of Brad in the car hes actually driving it Theres no blue screen or green screen or anything like thatthere are no visual effects Theyre actually doing the work Theyre getting up to 180 miles an hour and braking down to 50He agrees that it was physically difficult what they had to go throughBruckheimer said Because youre hitting 5Gs in the corners Its brutal But with all this cool stuff we didwe built six cars traveled them all over the world built our own garage that traveled with uswe went to nine different F1 races so were truly embedded in the F1 worldHe added Thats what makes it so exciting Youre with the real drivers youre with our actors youre on the real

for bringing me back homeIn an interview with Variety Scorsese went on to explain his strong connection to his Italian homeland saying Growing up my first formative years even before my early teenage years I was really living in a Sicilian village It just happened to be downtown in Manhattan What I mean by that is the thinking the behaviour the language All of this was very very much part of who I amThen we became American kind of In a way I think that for me that Sicilian link combined with the religious experiences it has propted a curiosity and a search as to my own identity As to who I am

actorfilmmaker Kevin Costner claiming that she was forced to perform an unscripted rape scene without proper protocols Devyn LaBella was the lead stunt double for Ella Hunt who played the role of Juliette in the Horizon films According to LaBellas lawsuit Costner the director improvised a scene in which Hunts character would be raped reports varietycomHunt refused to perform the scene the lawsuit states LaBella was brought in as a standin without advance warning preparation or consent and without an intimacy coordinator present the suit allegesAccording to the complaint LaBella was humiliated and traumatised by the experienceOn that day I was left exposed unprotected and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry LaBella said in a statementThe suit claimed that the scene violated protocols negotiated by SAGAFTRA including a requirement for 48 hours notice and consent for any scenes involving nudity or simulated intimacyThe incident took place on May 2 2023 on set in Utah LaBella also performed in a scripted rape scene the previous day which was handled professionally the suit alleged In that scene there were rehearsals an intimacy coordinator was present and the set was closedThis case is a clear example of maledominated sexist Hollywood movie production said Kate McFarlane one of the plaintiffs attorneysOur client was subjected to brutal sexual conduct completely unprotected from the obvious harmCostner denied the allegations through his attorney Marty Singer In a statement Singer said that Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriouslyHowever this claim by Devyn LaBella has absolutely no merit and it is completely contradicted by her own actions and the facts Singer saidMs LaBella is a serial accuser of people in the entertainment industry and has worked with the same lawyer on past claims But those shakedown tactics wont work in this caseAccording to Singer the scene was explained to LaBella and after a rehearsal she gave a thumbs up to her stunt coordinator indicating her willingness to film the scene if needed which she was notThat evening according to Singer LaBella had dinner with the stunt coordinators and was in good spirits and made no complaints to themLaBellas lawsuit contradicts that version of events saying she wanted to find out why the scene was allowed to take place reports varietycomUpon expressing her outrage and concern the male attendees blamed her for not speaking up the suit allegedShe now felt completely alone and disappointed but as production was not yet wrapped Ms LaBella had to continue working and keep up a professional attitudeOver the next few days according to her suit she experienced bouts of crying She also felt awkward as crew members came up to her to apologize for Costners behaviour the suit states She later went into therapy to deal with the aftereffects of the traumatic experienceJames Vagnini another of the plaintiffs attorneys said the suit is intended to address failures at the highest levels of Hollywood production companies to comprehend and address the impacts of performing in sexually explicit and violent scenes and the need for intimacy coordinationIn Costners defense Singer produced a text message that LaBella allegedly sent to the stunt coordinator upon completing the shoot Thank you for these wonderful weeks I appreciate you so much I learned so much and thank you again Im really happy it worked out the way it did Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon IANS

Lipovsky have talked about how they got involved with the sixth installment of the iconic horror franchise and its fun element Talking about how they got involved with Final Destination Lipovsky said When we heard that Warner Bros was reinventing the Final Destination franchise in a way that made it new for this agebut also much more character drivenwe went through the process of trying to convince the powers that be that we were the filmmakers who should bring it to lifeWe even faked our own death in the pitch meeting to show them we understood the DNA of Final DestinationSten shared that producer Jon Watts came up with the story for Final Destination Bloodlines based around a family and its bloodline where death is making its way down a family treeWe thought that was such a great way into this franchise The other movies were about groups of friends or even groups of strangers who were trying to avoid death But this is a family all trying to survive together And something about that felt a lot more relatable emotional and personal and we were just really excited about the idea he addedAsked about the fun of Final Destination Stein shared The fun of Final Destination is all those little elements that lead up to the deaths And those elements are all inanimate which means that its basically up to the filmmakers to bring it to lifeHe said its really the filmmaking that is the villain thats chasing the charactersIts all those insert extreme closeups of things that are hitting other things to create the chain reaction So its a joy for directors Getting to bring that into the world getting it in the camera putting it in the edit in a way that brings Death to life is just so much fun Stein concludedFor Lipovsky he said its really challenging because the audience is participating in every Final Destination movieYoure sitting in the theater you know whats gonna happen but you also know that there are gonna be surprises and as a filmmaker thats really challenging because Stein shared Spoiler alert everyone diesLipovsky chimed in and said Everyone knows that everyone dies and everyone knows in this scene that someone is gonna die Thats the challenge as filmmakersto make something thats still surprising and not predictableHe said the fun part is that we can misdirect the audience we can play with the way that we set up certain inserts and closeups We can push the camera into a certain object to make you think that somethings gonna happen we left Easter eggs around the film etc And then you as the audience remember something that we set up earlier and youre invested in it even though you know everyone is going to die The way that all this plays in the editing and in the filming gives us the opportunity to be creative and gives the audience this really fun participatory experience in the filmFinal Destination Bloodlines is scheduled to be released in India by Warner Bros Pictures on May 15 IANS

Bowie funky record to mesh with this 80s synth pop Im doing all this gymnastics But the joy of it in the end is that I was able to make sense of it for meShe continued I want people to have that
