Pete Davidson risked ‘real damage' to his eye on The Home
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Pete Davidson risked 'real damage' to his eye filming The Home xThe 31-year-old star was shocked to discover that one particular scene in his new horror movie, which entailed a needle being held above his peeper while it was held open, wouldn't be done using CGI - and grew even more worried when he arrived on set for filming to see a team of three doctors looking 'a little concerned'. Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said: 'Obviously, I read the script and was just like, 'That won't be my eye. This is the movies. It'll be a CGI eye.' You can bring people back from the dead and put them in a movie. That's not my eye.' Of seeing the doctors on set, he added: 'I'm like, 'What's going on?' And my buddy James [DeMonaco], who directed it, he's like, 'Yeah, well. They're here for your eye.' 'And I was like, 'What do you mean?' He goes, 'Well, you know, today's that scene.' I go, 'I know, but what do you mean?' He's like, 'Well, it's going to be your eye.' 'He goes, 'You have very recognisable eyes.' I go, 'What the hell are you talking about? No I don't. My eyes are normal, sir.' ' Pete tried unsuccessfully to argue that no one would expect it to be his eye in the scene but ultimately found himself with it being held open in a way he compared to A Clockwork Orange. He continued: 'They open my eye or whatever, and it's all... It's all jacked up. And there's these three doctors on the side, and then this actor was messing up his lines. And I was like, 'Come on, dude.' ' And while they filmed, Pete heard a doctor warn the director: 'Yeah, about 30 more seconds, there's going to be some real damage.' He continued: 'So I take the thing off. I'm like, you know, squirting it with water and stuff, I'm like, 'What the hell just happened?' 'Then we're watching it in video village, and the director goes, 'Yeah, it didn't have to be your eyes.' I was like, 'Dude...' ' Despite his struggles with the scene, the former Saturday Night Live star relished the chance to do 'just a straight horror movie'. He added: 'I had a really good time, and it was just weird. It's a weird one.'

Pete Davidson says Eddie Murphy gave him the ‘best' parenting advice
Pete Davidson is all ears when it comes to parenting advice. In an interview with ExtraTV at the world premiere of his new film 'The Pickup,' the 31-year-old actor was asked if he received any advice from co-star Eddie Murphy, who is a father and grandfather. Not only did Davidson say yes, but he also described Murphy's advice as the 'best' he has received. 'His advice was the best,' Davidson recalled. 'He goes, 'I have no advice.'' 'Because you can't really tell anybody how to raise their own kid,' he added of Murphy's advice. 'But it's going to change your life and you're gonna love it, and I know you'll be good at it.' Murphy shares 10 kids — six daughters and four sons — with five women, including a 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son with his wife, Paige Butcher, according to People. As for Davidson, he and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, whom he has been romantically involved with since March, according to E! News, announced their pregnancy in a July 16 Instagram post. The pregnancy has been a hot topic as Davidson promotes his two new films, 'The Home,' released July 25, and 'The Pickup,' scheduled to be released Aug. 6, according to IMDB. And it appears Murphy wasn't the only co-star to share parenting wisdom with Davidson. In his interview with ExtraTV, Davidson revealed that his other co-star, Keke Palmer, who welcomed her first baby in February, according to People, showed him what it looks like to be a parent in Hollywood. 'When we were doing 'The Pickup,' Keke's baby was just born and she had him on set the whole time,' Davidson told the outlet. 'She would go into a take and then run over and play with the baby.' Palmer announced the birth of her baby boy, Leodis 'Leo' Andrellton, with ex Darius Jackson on Feb. 27, 2023. 'It made me realize that it's possible to co-exist in both worlds,' Davidson said of his co-star. 'I was really impressed with the way she was parenting on set.' Davidson's red carpet appearance July 27 was a special one for him and Hewitt. The couple made their red carpet debut at the Endometriosis Foundation of America's 13th Annual Blossom Ball on May 15, according to Harper's Bazaar. Now two months later, the couple returned to the red carpet to make another debut — this one featuring a baby bump. Davidson opened up about the experience in an interview with Variety on the red carpet. 'This is the baby's first red carpet,' Davidson confirmed. 'That's kind of crazy. We were talking about that in the car. One day the baby will see that and be like, 'I'm in there!'' Davidson added of Hewitt's baby bump. Though Hewitt wasn't present at the July 22 world premiere of 'The Home' several days earlier, it didn't stop Davidson from opening up about his upcoming role as a father. 'I assume you just try to give them what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it,' he told E! News, adding that he's most excited to 'take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.' Davidson also revealed that he received advice from co-star Adam Sandler, though he didn't specify what the advice was. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream,' Davidson added. 'They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.''

Purge Creator Wants Pete Davidson To Join The Horror Franchise, And I'm So In
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Pete Davidson seems to be moving himself comfortable within the horror genre, and I'm all here for it. The comedian rose to fame as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and has since ventured into not-as-comedic roles, and is particularly drawn to the horror genre. After his small part in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Davidson will soon be seen starring in The Home, a new film from the creator of The Purge. franchise, James DeMonaco, who revealed he actually wants Davidson to join the horror franchise, and there's technically precedence for it. In a recent interview on The Julia Cunningham Show, franchise writer/director James DeMonaco opened up about directing his new film, The Home, as well as the enduring popularity of his Purge franchise. The filmmaker helmed the first three Purge movies, and will be responsible for writing the upcoming sixth Purge film. Apparently, he's even hoping to include his latest lead in the future project somehow, after the SNL alum expressed his own interest in the franchise over the years. DeMonaco revealed that Davidson's inclusion in The Home came from trying to get him in a Purge movie. He said: Yeah. Well, I did pitch him The Home. We were trying to get him in The Purge though. That's funny you said that, Julia. We always wanted to kill him in The Purge. He would call me every Purge movie and say, 'Please kill me in this one. I want to die in the new Purge film.' Hopefully this mutual interest leads to Davidson joining the franchise in whatever capacity possible. The comedian seems to have an interest dying on the big screen, considering his demise met in The Suicide Squad, and early death in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. If he does die in Purge 6 however, I'm hoping he lasts longer in the runtime. He's a fascinating figure to watch on screen, infusing his sarcastic sense of humor into his characters. He'd be such a fun addition to the franchise, though I'd love to see his character play things out a little longer than just a quick pre-bludgeoning cameo. For DeMonaco, The Home is yet another interesting insert in his filmography. The movie follows Max, played by Davidson, who while working at a retirement home realizes the residents may be concealing horrifying secrets. It's an unconventional setting for a horror movie, with an unconventional star at the center. However, DeMonaco has always seemed to have an interest in exploring unorthodox concepts in horror movies, so this feels like a strong expansion for his filmography. While fans may be looking towards another Purge film, hopefully they find something just as interesting and sinister in The Home that gets them to the movie theater. Whether he ends up joining the Purge franchise or just sticks to this one DeMonaco collaboration, I'm loving this new phase in Davidson's career. Usually after starring on SNL, actors tend to go the straight comedy route, releasing hilarious films like Happy Gilmore, Anchorman, and Bridesmaids. While we absolutely adore these movies, I love when comedy stars try their hands at something different, and Davidson feels right at home in the horror genre. The Home has yet to be released, but he has already gotten creative with his choices, and I can't wait to see what doors this opens for the actor, especially if this means joining The Purge franchise. You can see Pete Davidson in The Home when it hits theaters on July 25th. Fans of The Purge can also revisit the most recent film in the franchise, The Forever Purge, now with a Peacock subscription.

Paul Thomas Anderson's Leonardo DiCaprio-Led ‘One Battle After Another' Gets Beyoncé-Backed Trailer
The 'Boogie Nights' auteur's latest hits theaters this September 'One Battle After Another' is inching closer, and the film dropped a new trailer Thursday to keep up the excitement. Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro (among others), arrives in theaters on Sept. 26. And after an enigmatic trailer and some smaller clips (including one that is currently playing before 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' at the Vista in Los Angeles), a new trailer has debuted online. Watch it below. More from TheWrap The 8 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend on Netflix, Hulu and More 'The Home' Review: Subpar Pete Davidson Thriller Tries to Put the 'Boo' in Boomers How Mattel Studios President and Chief Content Officer Robbie Brenner Is Crafting a Post-'Barbie' Slate Park Chan-wook's Venice-Bound 'No Other Choice' Gets First Trailer Clearly this is more in line with what you would imagine a studio-cut trailer to be. It more explicitly spells out the plot, with DiCaprio's Bob starting out as a more passionate revolutionary and rejoining the fray after his child (Chase Infiniti from Apple's 'Presumed Innocent' series) is abducted by a psychopathic colonel (Penn). It's even set to a jaunty Beyoncé tune most closely associated with the presidential campaign for Kamala Harris. Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Anderson's 'Licorice Pizza' breakout Alana Haim co-star in 'One Battle After Another,' which is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel 'Vineland.' Anderson has some experiencing adapting Pynchon, having made 2014's 'Inherent Vice' (based on Pynchon's 2009 detective novel). 'One Battle After Another' isn't a direct adaptation, with the novel set in 1984 and reflecting on the counterculture movement of the 1960's, but seems like an interpolation of themes and ideas similarly explored in the novel. This is Anderon's tenth feature as a director and follows 2021's 'Licorice Pizza,' which netted the filmmaker Best Director and Best Original Screenplay Oscar nominations and the movie a Best Picture nomination. Much has been made about the movie's budget, which is said to be more than $140 million, and its long road to profitability, given that Anderson's highest grossing movie, 2007's 'There Will Be Blood,' made less than $80 million worldwide. But with 'Sinners' and 'F1,' both original movies (and both, like 'One Battle After Another,' Warner Bros. releases), making money at the box office, there is hope yet for the auteur's latest. 'One Battle After Another' arrives in theaters on Sept. 26. The post Paul Thomas Anderson's Leonardo DiCaprio-Led 'One Battle After Another' Gets Beyoncé-Backed Trailer appeared first on TheWrap.
