I have heard that the actual stars of the Milli Vanilli movie are Sam Jackson and Morgan Freeman and that their voices will be overdubbed and lip synched by the two other actors above. Just a rumor tho...lmao

Matthew McConaughey Movie 'Dallas Sting' Scrapped Amid 'Disturbing Allegations'


The film was just weeks from production when producers reportedly learned of "misconduct" behind the true story that inspired it.
A sports movie starring Matthew McConaughey has been canceled after producers learned of “disturbing allegations” about the true story behind the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Production company Skydance scrapped the 1984-set “Dallas Sting,” which was to feature the Oscar-winning actor as the coach of a Dallas-based teenage girls soccer team that shocked international competition at a tournament in China. Kari Skogland (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”) was set to direct.
Production was to begin next month in New Orleans, IndieWire reported. But the concerning new information prompted Skydance and producers to scuttle the project, sources told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.

Deadline used “misconduct” in its headline about “Dallas Sting” and cited “an impropriety that Skydance and the producers were made aware of” in its article, but didn’t elaborate.

                                             Brendan Fraser’s Big Hollywood Comeback Comes With Harsh Lessons

After his commercial peak, he slowly disappeared from our screens, seemingly just another A-Lister whose best years were behind him. He put on weight. His hair thinned. He stopped looking like what Hollywood desired of its leading men and derision followed. Eventually, it seemed that the only place Fraser regularly popped up was in tacky “Where is He Now?” clickbait pieces. When he returned to the spotlight in 2018, thanks to some critically acclaimed TV roles in The Affair, Condor, and Trust, many of us were thrilled. We didn’t realize how much we’d missed him until he was gone. A heart-wrenching profile in GQ then revealed the truth behind his disappearance.

Fraser revealed that he had struggled with various injuries after feeling pressure for many years to do all of his own stunt work. He talked candidly about the death of his mother, his financial struggles following his divorce, and feeling as though he’d been left to the curb by Hollywood. Most shockingly, he alleged having been sexually assaulted by Philip Berk, then the President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. While Berk tried to dismiss the incident, wherein he allegedly grabbed Fraser’s genitals at the Golden Globes, as a “total fabrication”, Fraser believes it led to him being blacklisted by the film world. It’s a moment he says messed with his sense of “who I was and what I was doing.” He even admitted that he was "frightened" about speaking out so many years later.

Fraser’s honesty kicked open a door that allowed us to see into a seldom-discussed aspect of fame. What happens when it ends? How does that impact the celebrity in question? And how does the industry itself remain so lacking in empathy towards those it discards? Such exposés often don’t see the light of day until the person in question is dead, as was the case with Marilyn Monroe, Dorothy Stratten, and Amy Winehouse. They’re seen as cautionary tales, enshrined in amber and devoid of the individual’s own perspective. Fraser got to speak out, and he’s been able to make his way back into acting with a level of support that is too frequently denied from fans and colleagues alike.

I REALLY,  REALLY liked the original although Keanu was totally miscast as Constantine. Constantine was written as a blonde. cockney bloke and a bit of a jerk.

okay I'm glad it got the views it never got when the original film came out but....

 

Spoiler

if they make another one the Sandersons won't be in it it will probably revolve around the protagonists from the 2nd film

Cineplex Junxion will open next month (so just in time for Wakanda forever)

I would be pleasantly surprised if it's open for Nov 11th.  It's still very bare inside and according to the Free Press article from a couple days ago that time frame is not a sure thing.

"There isn’t yet a date for Cineplex Junxion’s opening, though planners are eyeing early to mid-November."
