The 79-year-old filmmaker has helmed the new 'Mad Max' prequel and explained that he opted to cast Anya Taylor-Joy as a younger version of the title character after being left unconvinced by the use of the tech in films such as Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman' and Ang Lee's 'Gemini Man'. George told Variety: "Both of them were masterful directors, but it was never persuasive. "I thought all people would be watching is Charlize looking young and knowing it's an effect." The d...

The 'Brokeback Mountain' director is set to helm a new film about the martial arts legend – with his own actor son Mason Lee in the lead role – and wants to get started on the project in the near future after taking many years to "connect" to the story.

"He had identity issues: he was always yearning to belong, to find his place. That really speaks t...

Eric Bana has no interest in playing the Hulk again. The 52-year-old actor portrayed the Marvel superhero in Ang Lee's 2003 movie 'Hulk' but revealed that he doesn't want to reprise the part of the gamma ray powered green giant, suggesting that he needed convincing to take the role in the first place.

The 66-year-old director helmed the 2005 romantic drama 'Brokeback Mountain', which explored the relationship between male cowboys Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal), and admits that he would not feel duty bound to cast gay actors as the leads if he was making the movie now, despite the clamour for that trend now among the LGBTQ+ community. Ang said: "I think good actors have to come first. "Acting is not about who you are. I've cast broadcasters to play broadcasters and when the camera rolls...
