Paramount Sets Pay For Top Executives As Merger Closes
Deadline revealed the project earlier this week. It's based on an original, unpublished story by Jaime Oliveira, who is also adapting the screenplay.
It's Heat meets Hell or High Water, mixed in with one of those Bruce Springsteen songs about tragic brother relationship. Chalamet will play a former MotoGP racer, haunted by a career-ending crash and a family legacy of abandonment. He's running a garage and tending to his drug addict father. When dad dies, he's drawn back into the world of high-speed risks and extreme danger, when his estranged brother, already being pursued by the FBI, recruits him for a series of bank robberies on superbikes.
'We're thrilled to be in business with visionary artists like James and Timothée, and exceptional collaborators like Peter and David at Chernin. What Jaime has created reflects the kind of bold, original storytelling we're committed to championing at Paramount – and we couldn't be more excited to hit the ground running with High Side,' said Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, Co-Chairs of Paramount Pictures.
'David, Dana, and Josh display a real commitment to original, story-driven filmmaking on the big screen and this passion made it easy for Timothée, Peter, and me to land on this project. Timothée is a trusted collaborator, a generational artist, and a person I adore. I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and work together again,' said James Mangold.
The project reunites Chernin Entertainment with Mangold after the collaborations on Ford vs Ferrari and The Greatest Showman.
Chernin is repped by Brittenham LLP, and Next Wave; Mangold is repped by by WME, Entertainment 360 and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern; Chalamet by Brian Swardstrom, UTA, Gang Tyre Ramer Brown & Passman Inc and Relevant; Oliveira by Sugar23 and Yorn, Levine, Barnes.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Reveals the Surprising Career Path She'd Choose If She Wasn't an Actor (Exclusive)
The star sits down with her 'Wednesday' costar Jenna Ortega to discuss her passions outside of acting and the new season of the Netflix hit NEED TO KNOW Catherine Zeta-Jones reveals her passion for a creative field outside of acting while sitting down for an interview with her Wednesday costar Jenna Ortega The two stars discuss season 2 of the hit Netflix show, the first half of which premiered on Aug. 6 Zeta-Jones and Ortega also share how they are most similar Catherine Zeta-Jones is opening up about her talents beyond acting. In an interview for PEOPLE, Zeta-Jones' Wednesday costar Jenna Ortega asks her what profession she'd want to have if she wasn't an actor. "I think it would be in architecture and interior design my beautiful Jenna," says Zeta-Jones, 55. "I have to say it's a passion, and I am thinking about doing an online course to get a degree in it." Upon hearing that, Ortega, 22, says she needs "help" with decorating her own space. "If you walked into my place, it looks like nobody lives there," she says. "There's just books all over the floor." Zeta-Jones is up for the challenge. "Give me dimensions, give me some aesthetics!" she says. "I'll send you some great ideas. I love doing that — especially with other people's money." Since the first half of the long-awaited second season of Wednesday premiered on Netflix on Aug. 6, fans have been buzzing about the stars' return to the Addams Family universe, with Zeta-Jones back as matriarch Morticia and Ortega as her sharp-witted teenage daughter Wednesday. During the interview, Ortega asks how Zeta-Jones made her Morticia different from other Morticias. "Well, I respect everyone who has come before me because they've all had such wonderful attributes," Zeta-Jones says. "Getting into the shoes of a role like Morticia is like doing Lady Macbeth. Thousands of great actresses played Lady Macbeth through centuries, but Judi Dench did it different. Judi Dench did it her way. So I feel honored that I'm in such a great line." "I think a note that rings true in my ears that [series creator Tim Burton] gave me, and I'm sure all of us, was just to keep our characters rooted in realism," she continues. "You can push the caricature of it all as long as it's rooted in truth. When I think of Wednesday season 1, I think of Jenna's dance and her playing the cello." Ortega notes that "the cello has been the most difficult thing of the entire show." At one point during the interview, Zeta-Jones asks Ortega if she's given her any advice that's stuck with her. "Not to blow smoke or anything, but I feel like I take everything that you say very seriously, whether it be a joke or about the business and work," Ortega says. "I respect you. I respect your history and film. I have immense passion for you. I feel like you don't take yourself too seriously, but you take your craft immensely seriously. You've got a really good balance and understanding of what it means to operate in this industry, and I think I would like to be like you in that sense." Zeta-Jones — who has daughter Carys, 22, and son Dylan, 25, with husband Michael Douglas — says she and Ortega share a lot of similarities. "I feel like I am part of you and you are part of me in a lovely way," Zeta-Jones says. "First of all, I think we have a drive and an appreciation for what we do as a craft as opposed to celebrities at large. We have a sense of humor we both pick up on. I sometimes look at younger images of myself, and we do look similar. Even Carys said you can see a lot of Jenna in the photographs." Ortega says "that's the greatest gift of my life, if that's in any way, shape or form true." The first half of season 2 of Wednesday is streaming on Netflix now. The second half of the season premieres Sept. 3. Read the original article on People

Leonardo DiCaprio Said He's "Emotionally 35" Years Old In A Rare Interview, And The Internet Has Some Thoughts
Leonardo DiCaprio — one of the most famous actors in the world, easily — turned 50 last year. Here's a picture of him from earlier this summer. OK, so here's a picture of Leonardo at the Golden Globes back in 2010, when he was roughly 35 years old. Why am I showing you this, you may ask? Related: Well, Leo recently granted an extremely rare interview with Esquire in conversation with celebrated director Paul Thomas Anderson — who helmed the forthcoming film One Battle After Another, which Leo stars in. That's a very Leo-centric poster for it below. In the interview, PTA asks the following: "Here's a question Esquire wants me to ask. 'You turned fifty last year. Does it feel like a natural time for reflection?' Leo replied by seemingly clarifying the question as, 'You turned emotionally thirty-five last year.' Now, as you're probably aware, Leo has established a pattern in the past of dating women under or around 25 years old — and seemingly discontinuing the relationship when they turn 26. (It also should be noted that his alleged current relationship with 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti breaks that pattern.) So, of course, Leo talking about feeling younger as an older man is an easy layup for the internet's many wisecrackers. Here's a sampling of the reactions: Related: Related: Related: Spicy stuff!

How to use the Google Photos app's new Remix tool to transform your pictures
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has offered more details on its new Remix feature for the Photos app. Users will be able to edit photos to reflect different art styles, such as anime, 3D animation, sketch, and comic books. There will be a Regenerate button to get different results. Back in July, Google announced the Photos app would get two new AI-powered features. One tool was a photo-to-video generator, and the other turns photos into illustrations reflecting different art styles. Google said that the latter tool would roll out in the next few weeks. While it has yet to widely launch, the tech giant shared more details about the feature. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. In a community forum post, Google explains how to use its artistic styles editor, which it calls Remix. To start, you'll need to open Google Photos and tap on the Create new button (the plus icon in the top right corner). From there, you'll see the Remix option and you can follow these steps: To try out Remix, tap Try now. Select a style. To choose a photo that you want to edit, tap Choose photo. To change your selected photo, tap Change photo. Tap Generate. You can save and share your edited photo: To save the photo, tap Save. To share the photo, tap Share. The company warns that this is an 'experimental' feature, so the generated results may not always match up with the photo. Additionally, you'll want to use photos that are well-lit and focused to get the best results. If the results aren't to your liking, there will be a Regenerate button to get different results in the same art style. The tool is rolling out with four art styles to choose from: anime, 3D animation, sketch, and comic books. Google has not said if it plans to add more art styles in the future.
