Greta Gerwig is revealing that Barbie star Ryan Gosling had a peculiar idea for his “I’m Just Ken” musical number that would have him feuding with his mink coat.
While making an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the director of Barbie described the scene that Gosling had in mind.
“One of the ideas that Ryan had was that he would have a dance duet with his mink and that the mink would be fighting him, and then love him, and then fight him again, eventually defeat him, and that he would be birthed anew out of the mink,” Gerwig told the CBS late-night show host.
Gerwig said that “somewhere there’s a rehearsal footage of this” and that it’s “in the vault.”
“Even though it didn’t end up being in the movie, it was that kind of openness and everybody bringing such brilliant, wild...

In June 2022, Osaka unveiled Hana Kuma , her production company born out of an alliance with her long-term agent and business collaborator, Stuart Duguid, and the SpringHill Company, backed by NBA legend LeBron James.

Hana Kuma, the media company founded by tennis star Noami Osaka and Stuart Duguid, has raised $5 million in a fundraising round that will also see it spin off from The SpringHill Co., which helped launch it less than a year ago.
Investors in the new round include SpringHill, which was founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, as well as Fortnite owner Epic Games, Boston Red Sox owner Fenway Sports Group, Japanese conglomerate The Kinoshita Group and the investment firm Disruptive.
“You know, there was never any grand plan of ‘We’ll spend X amount of time under the SpringHill umbrella and then we’ll go and do it ourselves,'” Duguid tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It just happened very organically and naturally, and it came to the point where we decided it was time to raise financing, build out the business and hire more people and have a more...

Feature number three for the Coen Brothers is an eccentric gangster saga with a wonderful slate of mugs — Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Albert Finney, Jon Polito, J.E. Freeman, Steve Buscemi — slinging highly entertaining hardboiled dialogue. The witty, insightful story is at heart not a comedy, and the direction impresses in the formal sense — no superfluous camera acrobatics this time. Barry Sonnenfeld’s visual stick in the mind — the Byrne-Turturro execution scene in the woods is one of the highlights of 1990s filmmaking.
