Wes Anderson “releasing same movie every time”

It was admitted today, even by his most ardent fans, that Wes Anderson has been rereleasing the same movie over and over again for his whole career.

“It started as a genuine mistake with my second movie, Rushmore. Somehow the studio accidentally sent out a print of Bottle Rocket, a movie I’d made a couple of years before. I was bracing myself for complaints, but in fact all the reviews were very positive, commenting on the visual style which they said was fast becoming a Wes Anderson trademark.

“It got me wondering how far I could push this, so a few years later I released it again as The Royal Tenenbaums. Again, raves across the board, especially for my ‘distinctive visual aesthetic’. I mean, didn’t anyone notice the actors and the script were exactly the same?

“What really makes me laugh is when they talk about how more and more famous actors appear in my movies these days, even in tiny roles, which they think shows how everyone wants to work with me. They’re the same damn actors! They just weren’t famous in the 90s when I started out.”

Critic and long time Wes Anderson groupie Mark Kermit wasn’t at all embarrassed by the revelation, saying if anything it made him feel better about having written the same gushing review every time.

The Rock says fans should feel free to kill each other at slasher movies

The ex-wrestler made the comments as he attended the UK premiere of Moana 2, shortly after he had ripped one of the cinema seats from the floor and beaten an usherette senseless with it.

'Especially if you love violence, that's the fun part,' the US star told Newsbiscuit on the red carpet. Although the carpet hadn't been red before the altercation

Recently, there has been a debate on social media around whether people should sing along in cinemas, sparked by the release of Wicked a few days ago.

Some have argued fans should be able to express their enjoyment as they like, through knives and gun, while others say the prospect of dying at the hands of fellow cinema goers can ruin people's experiences.

Johnson strongly disagrees, although he did begin to have doubts as he left a special screening of 'Fast and Furious 7' and found someone had taken his Lamborghini Huracan from the car park and driven it into a large truck at speed.

Platoon reboot to have all female cast

This reimagining of the Vietnam movie, is said to tell the untold story of strong, independent women fighting the Viet Cong. Directed by Greta Gerwig, it will show the horrors of war but better.

One producer said: 'There is an untapped audience of women desperate to unwind with a harrowing military movie. I've heard that Oliver Stone has questioned how this reboot will display toxic masculinity, but I say, just shut the f$ck up, old man.'

Scheduled for 2025, the film boasts an all-star cast, with Melissa McCarthy to play the brutal Sgt. Barnes - but with a twinkle in her eye. 'Those who say this is a cynical cash grab, clearly did not see our all-child version of Reservoir Dogs. And the tagline will be - 'The first casualty of war, is the patriarchy'.'
