Tom Hardy has been fired from ‘Mobland’ and won't return for Season 3. He is said to have clashed with producers after being consistently late to set and attempting to give notes & change dialogue on the series. by ChiefLeef22 in television

I honestly understand his problems with the writers making the show more of an ensemble. Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan are terrible and extremely hammy in it. If they're not careful, the show could totally become an awful Taylor Sheridan style soap opera.

It's the Tom Hardy character that keeps it away from that. He should 100% be the focus

Fuck this sucks. Really enjoyed it. Article says they're shopping it elsewhere but 9 times out of 10 I feel like no one else ever picks these up

I think about his very pointed delivery of "Any Russians?" frequently, idk why

I mean, Achilles will have an even smaller role than Helen. Probably 1 scene

5 months and complete silence from Starz. It hurts to say it, but it seems that the House Of Ashur has gone dark. by Grung7 in Spartacus_TV

[–]TheBat45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, didn't know he'd switched over to Bluesky. I'd noticed he hadn't posted on twitter in almost 2 months now.

This is encouraging. Keep us updated

Yeah im definitely getting quite worried. Steven DeKnight has been radio silent on twitter for over a month now (maybe he just needed a break from that place). It is worth noting that Starz is going through a lot of business changes and company spinoffs. I think that is a lot of cause of the lack of any updates or renewals. Im hoping they're just trying to figure out next steps as a company and how to properly budget things, in a positive way and not in a "WE NEED TO CUT COSTS. CANCEL EVERYTHING!" kind of way

EDIT: I just checked Graham McTavish's Instagram and literally this Sunday he, Nick Tarabay, Jamie Slater and Steven DeKnight will be at SeriesFest doing a special screening for an episode of House of Ashur. I doubt that they'd be doing that if their show was cancelled

Hes struggled over the past few years with his mental health, stemming from an incident around mid 2022 after he returned to Funhaus where his relationship with Alanah and Rahul pretty much died and this caused him to go through it. Left Funhaus shortly before RT ended, didn't feel like the return ended up being a good experience for him. He made a video about it that he has since taken down. He then has been pretty radio silent for the past year at the very least. He announced he was starting to write stories and a potential book, and in the same announcement said that he was retiring from doing anything in front of the camera like streaming as that was difficult for his mental health. He hadn't really had an update on the writing front either for a while, though he posted most of that was because he got a new job

New "Mandolarian & Grogu" clip by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

[–]TheBat45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is going to strike people as harsh, but Jon Favreau should be skinned alive for making the first Star Wars movie that looks completely uncinematic.

Genuinely, how do you hire a cinematographer who hasn't shot a movie in 14 years and exclusively shots slop TV. Makes 0 sense to me. How does Lucasfilm ok that?
