Clint Eastwood wants filmmakers to be original
Hollywood star Clint Eastwood urged fellow filmmakers to come up with new ideas as he approached his 95th birthday this weekend. Oscar-winning director Eastwood told Austrian newspaper Kurier he planned to keep working, saying that he was still in good physical shape and hopeful that no one would have to worry about him in that regard "for a long time yet." Eastwood's most recent film, legal drama Juror #2, came out in the United States last year and the newspaper said he was currently in the pre-production phase for another film. When asked for his view on the current state of the film industry, the star of films such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Dirty Harry, and director of dozens of films including Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, said, "I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like Casablanca in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea." "We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home," added Eastwood, who turned 95 on Saturday. Asked where he got his energy from, Eastwood said, "There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them." Eastwood also shared the secret to his success. "As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year," he said. "And that's why I'll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I'm truly senile." Reuters

Clint Eastwood at 95 on film-making: do something new, or stay home
VIENNA, - Hollywood star Clint Eastwood urged fellow filmmakers to come up with new ideas as he approaches his 95th birthday this weekend, observing in a newspaper interview that the movie business is now full of remakes and franchises. Oscar-winning director Eastwood told Austrian newspaper Kurier he planned to keep working, saying that he was still in good physical shape and hopeful that no one would have to worry about him in that regard "for a long time yet." Eastwood's most recent film, legal drama "Juror#2", came out in the United States last year and the newspaper said he was currently in the pre-production phase for another movie. When asked for his view on the current state of the film industry, the star of movies such as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and "Dirty Harry", and director of dozens of films including "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby", said: "I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like 'Casablanca' in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea," according to the German text of the interview published on Friday. "We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home," added Eastwood, who will turn 95 on Saturday. Asked where he got his energy from, Eastwood said: "There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them." Eastwood, who made World War II thriller "Where Eagles Dare" in Austria with Welsh actor Richard Burton in the late 1960s, told the paper the secret to his success was that he had always tried something new as a director and an actor. "As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year," he said. "And that's why I'll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I'm truly senile."

Tyson and Paris Fury get huge boost as his hit Netflix show returns
Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and his wife Paris are set to get a huge boost following his latest retirement as they open their doors for their own Netflix show once again Tyson Fury and his wife Paris are set to open to doors of their home once again as their reality show returns. The professional heavyweight champion boxer is preparing to exit the ring once again and will take fans along for the ride. At Home With The Furys, which aired on Netflix in 2023, saw Tyson try to embrace retirement with wife Paris and their seven children. The no holds barred show followed the family's lavish holidays and A-list encounters but also their reality of changing nappies and doing the school run. It was a hit with fans the first time around, as Paris received huge praise for manning the household while Tyson focused on his career. Now, the pair are hoping to reach the same success again with a brand new series. In series two, Tyson, 36, will give retirement another shot, having previously announced his retirement several times before, only to return to the world of boxing. The programme will also follow Paris as she explores new business opportunities and taking on the big task of planning her daughter's 16th birthday as well as her wedding vow renewal. There will also be a family road trip to Monaco to invest in a racehorse. Series one featured Tyson's younger brother Tommy Fury alongside his fiancee Molly-Mae Hague. However, since appearing on the show, Molly-Mae and Tommy shocked fans with their breakup last summer. The couple, who are parents to two-year-old daughter Bambi, have slowly been rekindling their relationship. During their separation, Molly-Mae filmed her own candid TV show with Amazon Prime. Molly-Mae: Behind It All saw the influencer try to come to terms with single life as she navigated her career and motherhood. However, her recently released part two saw her confirm her romance with Tommy is back on. She told viewers: 'I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I'm willing to ride the wave. 'And that's not something that everyone wants to do, but it's something that I'm willing to do because I want my family.' Not to be left out, Tommy is also getting his own show. Earlier in the year, the BBC announced a new 'candid, access all areas' documentary series about the life of Tommy. Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury will see the professional boxer return to the ring and has promised to take viewers into "every aspect of his life". Teasing the series, the BBC said: "Just a year ago Tommy Fury seemed to have it all - victory over his biggest adversary Jake Paul, love with Molly-Mae and a beautiful baby daughter, Bambi. But in his last fight he damaged his hand and, unable to train, his life span out of control." The documentary filmed Tommy as he trained for a fight after a year away from the sport, featuring unprecedented access to the Love Island star and his inner circle. Tommy said: "A lot of people see me in the ring, they see me on social media, but they don't see ME - the person behind all of that. "I'm excited for everyone to finally be able to see what goes on behind the scenes, how the big fights are made, all the ups and downs as well as a glimpse into my private life."
