The Hollywood Reporter's 2. Women in Entertainment Power 1. Christina Gandolfo.
Category: The Reps. She vacations with Judge Judy; she’s a top- class poker player; she cracks ribald jokes about what might happen if she ever got together with 6- foot- 9 Magic Johnson (she’s 4- foot- 1. Oh, and she has one of the best client rosters in town, including Michael Keaton, Spike Lee, James Spader, Laura Linney and Edie Falco. Adds Samuel L. Jackson: “A lot of her friends have become my friends; she knows everyone.” Here’s what else she knows, in her own words: I’m 7. I embrace my age.
Years ago, everything was, “Oh, they’re young and hot.” But they can be young and cold, too. I know so much more now than I did 2. I grew up in the slums of Beverly Hills. My parents weren’t in the business, but their friends were.
The home of over 5.1 million full archive pages of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News print editions.
My mother had a lot of drive. In her 6. 0s, she opened a store in Beverly Hills and she had all of the designers coming to her and all the Reagan kitchen- cabinet wives.
But in those days, women weren’t obsessed with working. They wanted to get married.
I wanted to get married, too, but no one was marrying me that fast — I didn’t meet my husband . I was the second secretary. It was a great job, and I was a fantastic secretary, though I used to say things like, “I’ll be back in five seconds,” then I’d go on Billy Wilder’s set for two hours.
This is a terrible story, but I was in the elevator the day Kennedy was assassinated. I was with some agents, and they said, “The president has been shot.” I said, “Oh, is that a good script?”The person I learned the most from was .
He represented Paul Newman and Steve Mc. Queen. Every day I would show him the list of clients he’d talked to, and he would say, “Oh, I haven’t talked to Faye Dunaway in four days.” I learned to talk to clients even if you have nothing important to say to them. I spent seven years as a casting director, and one day David Geffen and Stan Kamen of the William Morris Agency called and said, “You should be an agent.” I was working for Lynn Stalmaster, who was the premier casting director, and so I said to Lynn, “I’m going to leave unless you make me a better offer.” He said, “My business manager is going to make you an offer you’ll be happy with.” So the business manager calls and says, “We’re now going to reimburse you for gas.” I said, “That is not a great counter,” and I left.
I was 4. 0 years old when I went to William Morris, and in February, it will be 2. I came to ICM. When I was a casting director, all I thought agents did was give incorrect client availabilities — but in the last 3. I’ve realized how creative agents can be. You talk to the casting director, you talk to the director, the head of marketing, the DVD guy.
I’ll say, “Why not change the part from being a man to being a woman?”To be a great agent, you have to have a passion for your clients. I’m not thinking of retiring. I’m just starting my third act. Read more about Howard in The Reps.
What You Need to Know After You See Spider- Man: Homecoming. If you saw Spider- Man: Homecoming and want some more answers, you’ve come to the right place. Don’t worry, this isn’t one of Rob’s FAQs, but we can still fill in some of the gaps, point out things you may have missed, and tell you everything else you need to know—with help from Homecoming’s director, star, and producers—about the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Friendly Neighborhood hero.
The big reveal of Liz’s father was always part of the plan. Spider- Man: Homecoming revolves around one crucial moment—the moment Peter Parker opens the door at Liz’s house and sees that Michael Keaton’s character is her father. Co- writer and director Jon Watts told me the reveal was one of their first ideas, and they never considered making the film without it: It’s my favorite moment in the movie. You basically have to build the whole movie up to that moment to really make it effective.
It’s almost like a record scratch. You think you know what’s going to happen and suddenly you have no idea what’s going to happen. And that to me is the absolute most fun thing as a director. It’s really fun to have a twist like that, but it’s also very nerve wracking because you want to make sure people don’t see it coming, and you want to make sure it doesn’t get given away.“We shot those scenes over the basic two to three days and I’ve gone from a happy, jolly, fun- loving character to somebody who is seriously scared,” Tom Holland told me. And I think audiences are going to be really shocked when they see that twist.”Now that Aunt May knows Peter’s secret, Spider- Man is heading into uncharted territory.
Homecoming ends on a life- changing moment for Peter Parker, when Aunt May discovers that he’s Spider- Man. Kevin Feige told Cinemablend he isn’t sure how that will play out, but that’s part of the point.“? I don’t know, but it will force us to do something unique. We did not want to do the secret identity thing at that point in the MCU. And now, same thing. The dynamic now is forced to be something fresh and something unique going forward. Marisa Tomei told Cinemablend she believes that having May know Peter is Spider- Man will keep this series unique.
While Zendaya is certainly playing Peter Parker’s love interest, she is not Mary Jane Watson. As Kevin Feige told IGN: She’s not Mary Jane Watson.
She never was Mary Jane Watson. She was always this new high school character, Michelle, who we know there’s an “M” in Michelle and an “M” in Mary.. Is she going to date Peter? Are they going to fall in love? She seems to be intrigued with him. There’s a nice chemistry there.
Who knows what will happen in the future films? Don’t expect Spider- Man to use the new suit Tony made him anytime soon. At the very end of the movie, Tony Stark reveals he’s made a second and even more impressive suit for Peter. But Watts hints that Spidey won’t be donning it for a while, as they haven’t even scratched the surface of the current suit.“We had a whole stack of note cards of things that .
It’s everything he’s ever wanted, and yet he realizes it’s not the right time. With Spider- Man playing a role in Avengers: Infinity War, it seems like he’s more or less part of the team anyway, but with two more years of high school, odds are he’s not going to be moving out of Queens for awhile. No one knows what the Spider- suit’s “Instant Kill” does.. One in particular is “Instant Kill,” which seems like something very out- of- line with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.“Yeah it’s a really weird and dark joke that always made everyone laugh so it stayed in there,” Watts said. Not that that’s what it actually does but we thought that could have been a really funny reveal.”Tom Holland claimed credit for the idea of the function but wouldn’t cop to what it does. So it’s possible it could still be used for a deadlier purpose. Tony Stark didn’t make all of Peter Parker’s tech.
This seems pretty obvious, but it’s important. Yes, Tony made the new Spider- suit which has a ton of bells and whistles, but before he even met Stark, Peter Parker was already Spider- Man.“The original Spider- Man . Spider- Man’s first appearance in Captain America: Civil War takes place during the massive airport scene, a scene that gets briefly revisited in the short film at the beginning of Homecoming, but from Peter’s—i. I was curious if they used the original movie’s footage for it, or if they had to make it from scratch. Watts explained: We recreated it.
It’s such a big, expensive, elaborate thing to recreate. I think we had to get ILM to dig all the assets out of deep storage so we could rebuild it, then film it with a virtual handheld camera. It was a huge, huge, huge hassle for that one little moment but I loved it. There’s a timeline to the MCU technology stolen by the Vulture, but you can’t see it.
In Homecoming, it’s obvious that Toomes and his group have been taking and developing technology by scavenging from the events we’ve seen in previous movies, like the Battle of New York in The Avengers, the battle of Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the battle of Lagos in Captain America: Civil War. And while an eight- year jump from the beginning of their crimes to the present day seems to cover all of that, we wondered if there was a timeline of when and where each piece was acquired.“They’re pretty vague in the Marvel Universe about locking anything to specific dates, as much as possible, so there is some wiggle room,” Watts said. Watch New Time Lapse (2015) Online. In the comics, Mac is the Scorpion, a longtime Spider- Man villain whose DNA has been spliced with a scorpion and has a battlesuit that includes a giant tail with a poisonous stinger at the end. Since Mac tells Toomes that he and his evil friends are planning on killing Spider- Man, chances are he’ll be a pain in Spidey’s butt later on. Additionally, Donald Glover plays Aaron Davis, who is also known as the tech- savvy villain called the Prowler.
However, since he seems pretty laid- back in general (and with Spider- Man in particular), I think it’s unlikely he’ll come back as a big bad. However, David’s nephew, Miles Morales, may be important down the road.. Marvel’s future Spider- Man movies will focus on villains that haven’t appeared in previous movies. Probably. By design, Spider- Man: Homecoming does not touch on almost anything from the previous five Spider- Man movies. And while that doesn’t mean they can’t in the future, don’t hold your breath for Green Goblin or Doc Ock just yet.“We’re more interested in exploring villains you haven’t seen, before we go back and reinterpret villains you have seen before,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told us. Jennifer Connelly is the voice of Spider- Man’s suit.
Here’s some more info: There has been a little confusion about this over the past few weeks, so let’s put this to bed. Chances are that movie will be Thor: Ragnarok or Black Panther. Someone flying into space or maybe off to Wakanda? Anything after that would be too far along in Peter’s story, since he’ll be back in Infinity War.
He then suggests a marriage proposal. And though it’s not made clear if Tony goes through with it, Pepper’s reaction indicates that she may not say yes even if he did ask her.
No, that iconic Spider- Man and Iron Man shot from all the trailers isn’t in the movie. The explanation is here: The money shot used in almost all of the marketing from Spider- Man: Homecoming isn’t in the movie. No one would confirm if Ben’s fate will be revealed later, though when I suggested Ben might have died at the Battle of New York in the first Avengers movie, Watts said he found the idea “interesting.”In fact, how Peter dealt with the Chitauri invasion is considered a crucial part of the character’s development, even if it’s staying under wraps: The Battle of New York at the end of The Avengers is a crucial moment in the Marvel Cinematic. But since previous Marvel movies released by Universal and Paramount were in the set, he’s almost certain it will be.
