‘The Studio' Guest Star Martin Scorsese Thought a Scene Was 'Wrong' But Didn't Want to Be a 'Backseat Director,' Says Creator
Martin Scorsese might be an Oscar-winning director, but he apparently doesn't want to overstep when it comes to other directors' sets. Scorsese played a version of himself in the pilot of Apple TV+'s The Studio. In the episode, he pitches an idea to Matt Remick (Seth Rogen), the new head of the fictional Continental Studios, for a movie about the Jonestown mass murder-suicide. Spoiler alert: Matt buys the script, thinking it'll fill a mandate for him to make a movie based on the Kool-Aid Man, but Matt is later forced to tell Scorsese that not only will he not be making his movie, but the director can't shop it anywhere else since Continental owns the rights. An upset Scorsese gets comforted by another guest star, Charlize Theron. More from The Hollywood Reporter Seth Rogen, Kieran Culkin Voice Ambitious Pigs in First Footage From Andy Serkis' 'Animal Farm' 'Echo Valley' Review: Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney Star in Apple TV+'s Satisfyingly Tense Domestic Thriller Ike Barinholtz Jokes He's "Lucky to Be Alive" After Driving With 'The Studio' Costar Seth Rogen Even though Scorsese has an Oscar for best director (for The Departed) as well as nine other directing noms, he didn't share his thoughts with The Studio co-creators Evan Goldberg and Rogen, who directed the pilot together, while filming his scenes. 'He had one note, but he didn't give it until later,' co-creator and executive producer Alex Gregory told People. Added Goldberg: 'There was a moment where him and Charlize Theron were whispering to each other, and it took like 10 takes to get the shot. And then we got it and I was like, 'What were you whispering about?' He was like, 'I knew you were doing this wrong, but I didn't want to be a backseat director, so I just didn't say anything.' And I was like, 'Well, we could have used that time, but I appreciate that you didn't wanna manhandle us.' ' Goldberg did not reveal what that note was in the People story. Casting director Melissa Kostenbauder recently told The Hollywood Reporter that Scorsese was the 'white whale' that Rogen and Goldberg were hoping for in terms of guest stars. 'I feel like they got their white whale, which was Martin Scorsese,' casting director Melissa Kostenbauder told THR. 'I know what big fans they are, and truly everyone is of Marty, and once they got him and Ron Howard, it really started to show people the kind of level they were looking for.' Indeed, the Gotham Award-winning show boasts several A-list guest stars in each episode. Kostenbauder told THR that this consisted of a very 'unusual casting process' in that they wouldn't send scripts when initially sending the offer out to the talent. 'We would offer up a meeting with Seth and Evan, and they were so good about making time to talk to all those people to help woo them and explain the character and answer any questions and make them comfortable, because it was never their intention to lampoon anyone,' Kostenbauder said, noting that full scripts were sent after these meetings. Of those stars who were approached, 'Some were game, and some weren't. And some really did want to lean more into — I don't know if it was Olivia Wilde or Dave Franco — kind of poking fun at themselves.' As for landing Scorsese, Goldberg told People: 'I think unanimously we would say Martin Scorsese as an actor was unbelievable. … The fact that he actually showed up, 'cause we kept thinking, 'He's gonna cancel. It's too amazing. It's too special. He's just the best.'' As for why Scorsese signed on, Goldberg said he thinks Jonah Hill — who's collaborated with Rogen several times and starred in Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street — had a hand in that. 'I got the feeling he dropped in a good word for us and that might've helped it happen,' Goldberg said.

Pierce Brosnan Gives Update on Possible 'Remington Steele' Reboot
Folks who were around in the 1980s likely remember Remington Steele, the detective series featuring Pierce Brosnan as a private detective. The series, which ran from 1982 to 1987, likely helped set the stage for Brosnan's later emergence as James Bond. It certainly was a highlight of his early career. In Remington Steele, Brosnan played a suave former con man turned detective. And now Brosnan has revealed that a Remington Steele reboot has been kicked around. However, don't hold your breath as it seems far from certain. In a lengthy interview with The Hollywood Reporter on June 2, Brosnan was asked about the possibility of a Remington Steele reboot. The author asked Brosnan, "As studios and networks are now keen on revivals, have you ever given thought to or been approached by execs for a Remington Steele revival?" "They have brought it up in discussions, yes. Nothing's been done about it. So I've left it's (sic) just sitting there," he said to THR. According to Britannica, in 1986, with Remington Steele a success, Brosnan was chosen to take over the iconic Bond role from Roger Moore. However, his NBC contract "prevented him from accepting," so the role went to Timothy Dalton instead. The next year, though, Remington Steele ended. Brosnan would later get to play Bond. A return of Remington Steele would certainly be nostalgic for some fans. Brosnan starred in the show with actress Stephanie Zimbalist. She sometimes posts about the series on her Instagram page. According to Irish America, Remington Steele first made Brosnan, now starring in Mobland, a "household name."Pierce Brosnan Gives Update on Possible 'Remington Steele' Reboot first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

Dionne Warwick, Jamie Foxx Among Those Paying Tribute to Sly Stone: 'May He Rest in Paradise'
Hollywood is paying tribute to Sly Stone after news of the funk-rock pioneer's death was announced Monday. Stone died after a 'prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues,' his family said Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Secretly Group Acquires 50 Percent Stake in Merge Records Mariah Carey Signs Multi-Album Deal With Gamma Jessica Pratt, MJ Lenderman, Shaboozey Among Big Winners at 2025 Libera Awards 'Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family,' his family wrote in a statement. 'While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.' Sly shot to prominence in the music industry in 1968 alongside his band Sly and the Family Stone with their hit 'Dance to the Music,' which landed in the top 10 on both the pop and R&B charts. The group continued to deliver a series of crossover tracks, including 'Summer of Love,' including 'Stand!,' 'Hot Fun in the Summertime,' 'Runnin' Away,' 'If You Want Me to Stay' and 'Time for Livin',' which emerged to define their hometown of San Francisco. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Dionne Warwick, whom Sly used to play the keyboard for early in his career, said, 'I met Sly during his years as a DJ. I will miss him as I know everyone will. My condolences to his family.' At the 2025 BET Awards carpet, Grammy nominee Durand Bernarr told THR, 'I hope that he knew he was loved and he was respected and we're rooting for him.' Also at the BET Awards, American Idol alum and 'Over' singer Lucky Daye commemorated his influence on the music industry, also telling THR, 'May he rest in paradise today.' In a statement to THR, Grammy winner Ray Parker Jr. said, 'He was my hero. Sly wrote the best songs in the world and bridge the black and white worlds like no other. I'm pretty sure every one of his albums had a No. 1 Pop hit. The guitars on 'Thank You for Letting Me Be Myself' speak for themselves. There's never been anything like it before and is hard to imagine will be again.' Paul Stanley, co-founder and co-lead vocalist of KISS, said on X, 'Sly Stone Has Died. In 1968 I saw Sly & the Family Stone debut at the Fillmore East in New York City opening for Jimi Hendrix. They were a freight train of bombastic, joyous SouI that would soon climb the charts and change the sound of R&B for so many other artists. Rest In Soul!' On Instagram, Jamie Foxx wrote, 'Legend RIP SLY.' Questlove, director of the Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) documentary, paid tribute to Sly on Instagram, writing, 'From the moment his music reached me in the early 1970s, it became a part of my soul. Sly was a giant — not just for his groundbreaking work with the Family Stone, but for the radical inclusivity and deep human truths he poured into every note. His songs weren't just about fighting injustice; they were about transforming the self to transform the world. He dared to be simple in the most complex ways — using childlike joy, wordless cries and nursery rhyme cadences to express adult truths.' The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which Sly and the Family Stone were inducted into in 1993, wrote on X, '1993 Inductees Sly & The Family Stone made it possible for Black popular music to burst free on its own terms, with singer, songwriter, and producer @HigherSlyStone at the helm, extending the boundaries of pop and R&B with each new song.' The Sundance Film Festival also shared a statement on X: 'Sly Stone changed music forever. A visionary, a rebel, a genius. His sound shaped generations and his spirit broke boundaries.'
