Madonna: Size Matters


Madonna Sean Penn Guy Ritchie

Madonna has insisted ''size matters'' when it comes to penises.

The 61-year-old singer - who was previously married to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie and is currently dating 25-year-old backing dancer Ahlamalik Williams - joked on stage during her show at London Palladium that she had ''never been with'' a guy with a small manhood.

She said: ''What do you call a man with a small penis? The answer is, I wouldn't f***ing know. I've never been with a guy with a small d**k.

An interesting roster of talent has been unveiled to take part in the movie, with relative newcomer Mena Massoud taking on the titular role, opposite 'Power Rangers' star Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine.

Disney Accused Of Whitewashing Over New Billy Magnussen Role


Disney Billy Magnussen Guy Ritchie

Disney has been strongly criticised on social media for an act of whitewashing concerning its new live action re-make of Aladdin, apparently creating an entirely new role for a white actor.

The company is believed to have cast Billy Magnussen (Into The Woods, Bridge of Spies) as a character called Prince Anders, who does not feature in the 1992 animated Aladdin or the original folklore ‘Aladdin and the Magic Lamp’, for its upcoming live-action film.

The decision follows an existing outcry over the casting of Naomi Scott, a non-Arab actor of British and Indian heritage, as Princess Jasmine two months ago. She’ll star alongside Mena Massoud, who is of Egyptian background, as Aladdin himself, and Will Smith in the role of the Genie.

The Egyptian-Canadian relative newcomer will be topping the bill as the titular lamp-rubbing hero, alongside Will Smith as the Genie and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine. It's a re-telling of Disney's original 1992 animated film, though we're yet to see who will land the role of the villainous Jafar.

Tom Hardy As Jafar? 'Aladdin' Remake Embroiled In 'White-Washing' Controversy


Tom Hardy Guy Ritchie

The people behind the forthcoming live action adaptation of Disney's 'Aladdin' have incited outrage on social media this week after it came out that Tom Hardy was in talks to play the villainous Jafar. Understandably, the actor is now in the midst of 'white-washing' accusations.

While Tom Hardy would no doubt make an excellent nemesis of Aladdin, the point is that this is arguably yet another example of Hollywood snubbing diverse actors in favour of white stars despite the context of the actual story. It's still a rumour, however, and there may be Asian actors in talks yet - but Tom is a big favourite of 'Aladdin' director Guy Ritchie.

King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword Review

Good

It's unlikely that Guy Ritchie could make a boring movie if he wanted to. This raucous historical romp spins the iconic legend into something that's relentlessly entertaining, even if it never quite satisfies because it's in such a hurry to set up a sequel. Thankfully, there are some deeper themes along the way that give the actors something to chew on besides the scenery.

In post-Roman Britain, King Uther (Eric Bana) has been killed by his brother Vortigern (Jude Law), who made a deal that involved some very black magic. But Vortigern is haunted by the fact that Uther's infant son Arthur somehow escaped and will someday return to pull the sword Excalibur from the stone and claim his rightful throne. Meanwhile in Londinium, Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) has no idea who he really is. Raised in a brothel and trained as a muscled fighter, he has a nice little racket going on. So discovering his identity is a shock. He's immediately spirited away by a mage (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) and some rebels (Djimon Hounsou and Aiden Gillen) who help him plot how to take back his crown.

The entire film is essentially a chase as Vortigern and his chief goon (Peter Ferdinando) pursue Arthur and his growing band of rebels. That all of this is leading to an epic confrontation is no surprise. But Ritchie oddly frames each action sequence as a splintered montage, which means we're only ever watching a series of key images with no momentum or context. Some of these work cleverly, but they begin to wear us out: we know what's happening but we're not able to experience it ourselves. Thankfully the dialogue has a witty present-day snap that brings the characters and the camaraderie between them to vivid life.

Guy Ritchie's 'King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword' Is MAJOR Flop


Guy Ritchie

It's official; Guy Ritchie's 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' led by Charlie Hunnam is one of the biggest movie flops of the year to-date. Reports suggest that the film will now gross just $18 million in the US following its first three days; a huge fail when the film's production budget is around the $175 million mark.

This means that if 'King Arthur' is to make its money back - including marketing costs not factored into the production budget - it will have to make around $350 million more across the world. In short, Warner Bros are looking likely to have egg on their face when all is said and done with this flick.

King Arthur - Trailer and Clips


Arthur grew up as a peasant on the streets of Londonium having escaped the terror that was unleashed upon his father Uther Pendragon's kingdom when he was just a boy. But despite growing up away from his royal roots, there was always something special about him; a determination and a willingness to stand up and fight no matter how big the enemy or how slim the chances of survival. This does not go unnoticed by the current King Vortigern, who took over the throne all those years ago. Arthur is captured and imprisoned by Vortigern's men and it's then he learns of his true destiny. And that destiny is sealed when he manages to pull the sword of Excalibur from the legendary stone with the world watching. Vortigern will stop at nothing to keep his ill-gotten crown, but still he underestimates the power that the sword wields. Using his newfound power, he joins with the kingdom's resistance to regain what's rightfully his and avenge his father along the way.

Guy Ritchie 'Obsessed' With London's History


Guy Ritchie

London has always been an interesting place. Established less than fifty years anno domini, it is the setting for some of the most fascinating legends in history - most notably those of King Arthur. For Guy Ritchie, it was this antiquity that attracted him in directing his latest film 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword'.

Having grown up near London, Guy has a lot of familiarity with the place, and that no doubt increased his fascination with its remarkable history - especially when comparing it to one of the oldest settlements in the United States.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - Cast and Director Interviews


Interviews with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword lead cast and director

For his latest movie, Guy Ritchie, reinterprets the classic story of King Arthur and his legendary rise after retrieving the fames sword from the stone. 

Unlike many modern day movies, Richie decided to take an old school approach to developing and shooting scenes for the movie. Very little CGI and green screen was used, the director created huge sets which really captures the feel of the city which is quickly becoming more and more overrun by chaos. 

Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law and Djimon Hounsou speak about their new roles in the movie and what it was like to create such an epic tale. John Boorman's 1981 movie Excalibur seemed to not only play a big role in influencing the director but also the actors he cast in the lead roles - that comprehensive version of the tale might've influenced the director but it is isn't the same as Ritchie's take on the story.
