50 Times Actors Hated Their Own Movies

Actors and actresses have the unique gift of being able to embody characters who exist in a film universe that looks nothing like their own. Sometimes, however, not all creative ventures are pleasant ones, and the finished product isn't always great. Thespians have to conceal their personal distaste for a film they star in, perhaps only admitting their unfavorable opinions about the project in interviews years after its release.
The reasons that Hollywood A-listers have detested their own work have varied widely. With
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Channing Tatum was roped into a studio contract. Mark Wahlberg found the premise of
Why 'Sex and the City' Is Coming Back (and on HBO Max)
'And Just Like That …' will feature three of the four original stars exploring friendship in their 50s.
And Just Like That … the internet breathed a heavy sigh and asked why another iconic TV series is being revived, while many die-hard
Sex and the City fans celebrated at the idea of revisiting the lives of Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda.
On Sunday, HBO Max confirmed that it is bringing HBO's Emmy-winning comedy
Sex and the City back for a new incarnation, this one titled
And Just Like That … in a nod to the original series. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon will all reprise their roles in the 10-episode comedy, which will reunite the trio with Emmy winner Michael Patrick King, who oversaw the show and its pair of features.
And Just Like That; here's what all we know about it:
Parker is reprising the role of Carrie Bradshaw.
Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda in the original series, and Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte, also shared the teaser on Instagram, and are returning to the series as well.
“I think that Cynthia, Kristin, and I are all excited about the time that has passed,” Parker recently told
Vanity Fair. “You know, who are they in this world now? Have they adapted? What part have they played? Where have they fallen short as women, as friends, and how are they finding their way? Did they move with momentum? Are they like some people who are confused, threatened, nervous [by what’s happening in the world]? I’m so curious and excited to see how the writers imagine these women today.”
Detransition, Baby strikes to the heart of the moment. This conversation-shifting, taboo-busting novel is set to catapult its author, Torrey Peters – a Brooklyn-based trans writer whose two self-published novellas drew a cult following – into the mainstream. Her themes could hardly be more timely, as controversy rages around the issue of detransition, following a UK High Court ruling limiting the administration of puberty blockers to under-16s....

Julia Fox was a breakout star of the Safdie Brothers’
Uncut Gems in 2019, playing the loyal girlfriend to Adam Sandler’s frenetic New York jeweller, Howard Ratner. Now, the actress – also a former dominatrix, fashion designer, artist, and model – has landed a role in a new, New York-set indie film, titled
PVT Chat.
The film revolves around Jack, a lonely internet gambler living in NYC (played by Peter Vack), and Scarlet, the San Francisco-based cam girl and overlooked painter he becomes fixated on (played by Fox).
“His obsession reaches a boiling point when fantasy materializes in reality and Jack sees Scarlet on a rainy Chinatown street,” reads an official synopsis, adding that the film is about: “freedom and fantasy, death and friendship” in the digital age.
