Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo's interracial movie Come Away was targeted by an organized dislike brigade, which left fake reviews on its IMDb page to deter audiences.IMDb has since removed the ratings, measured by 1-10 stars, on the webpage for director Brenda Chapman's imaginative family film hitting US theaters/VOD on November 13 and UK theaters on December 4.In it, the 44-year-old Golden Globe nominee and the 45-year-old Oscar winner play married couple Jack & Rose Littleton, whose children Alice (Keira Chansa) and Peter (Jordan A. Nash) become the basis of Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan. 'The film is not rooted in race, at all. It so happens to be a family the likes of which would and could have historically existed in that time in British history, yet not the norm of what you are used to seeing,' David told THR on Thursday.'We realized we had a situation on our hands, much like the folks at Disney realized it in the wake of John Boyega's casting as a Stormtrooper in Star Wars or Halle Bailey for The Little Mermaid.'It's not the first time Oyelowo experienced this as Amma Asante's 2016 romance A United Kingdom starring him and Rosamund Pike as a married couple was targeted on Facebook.'We had such a tirade and influx of racial negative comments that Fox Searchlight had to take down our Facebook page,' the British born Nigerian-American recalled."This has been something I have experienced in my career, regularly. Being a black person who tends to gravitate toward aspirational content. It seems like these folks find that the most deplorable.'David continued: 'They can't say, "It is freedom of speech. People should be allowed to say what they want to say." Their platforms are being used insidiously, whether it is to affect elections or the reception of cultural content.'Outside of IMDb and social media, Come Away has scored a dismal 57% critic approval rating (out of 14 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.The fantastical adventure flick also features Michael Caine, Derek Jacobi, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Anna Chancellor, and Clarke Peters.

Angelina Jolie's bitter divorce battle with Brad Pitt has hit yet another bump in the road after the actress parted ways with one of her high-priced attorneys.Priya Sopori, a Los Angeles-based former federal prosecutor who has been working with Jolie's lead lawyer, Samantha DeJean, is out after filing a 'Notice of Withdrawal of Attorney of Record' with LA Superior Court, DailyMail.com has learned.Experienced trial bulldog Sopori is a partner with California law firm Greenberg Glusker LLP.It's not clear whether Jolie - who is fighting Pitt's efforts to win 50/50 custody of their children - fired Sopori or if the attorney made the decision to quit.But the change in her high profile team at this late stage signals Jolie's resolve to get what she wants has only hardened.A source close to Jolie told DailyMail.com: 'Angelina has fought tooth and nail to get what she wants in this divorce, when it comes to her kids she won't back down.''She's paying her legal team a fortune, so if she believes one of her lawyers needs to go she won't hesitate to pull the trigger.' It's not the first time the mercurial 45-year-old Girl, Interrupted star has parted company with a lawyer she's hired during the long-running four year divorce saga.In 2018, superstar LA divorce attorney Laura Wasser - whose client list reads like a Who's Who of Hollywood - stopped working for Jolie when the actress's legal fight with Pitt, 56, reportedly became too 'venomous and nasty.'Wasser - who has represented Johnny Depp, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Reynolds, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Ashton Kutcher and many other stars - has earned a reputation as a lawyer who tries to take the sting out of break-ups by promoting compromise between warring couples and shared custody of children.So it was thought at the time that Jolie's hard-nosed attitude toward Pitt was not a good fit with Wasser's more gentle, conciliatory approach.After Wasser, Jolie hired San Francisco-based DeJean who is now the only lawyer representing her in the long-running custody dispute with Pitt.The former couple are dragging security experts from two continents, an entourage of personal assistants and bodyguards, a former Jolie co-star and an army of child psychologists and doctors to give evidence in an upcoming custody trial that's expected to be held in private.Lists of witnesses filed in a Los Angeles court and seen by DailyMail.com reveal 21 people who will be testifying in the movie stars' legal fight over their children, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12. They have a sixth child, Maddox, but he's a 19 year-old adult.One witness will be domestic violence expert Alyce LaViolette, who controversially clashed with a prosecutor in a 2013 murder trial by describing killer Jodi Arias as the victim of abuse. The kids are shuttled back and forth in blacked-out SUVs and limousines between their parent's LA homes, which are around a mile from one another in the affluent suburb also inhabited by A-listers including Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, Jon Hamm and Zac Efron.In early April, the superstars came to an agreement that will see the children attend a more traditional schooling program in LA, marking an end to their homeschooling regime.Jolie said she stands by her choice to leave Pitt.'It was the right decision,' the actress told Vogue in June.'I continue to focus on their (the kids') healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds.'The custody trial was due to start earlier this month but it has been delayed after Jolie asked for the private judge to be replaced, claiming that he 'failed to disclose' that he was working other cases with one of Pitt's lawyers.

Angelina Jolie Making Movie With Justin Theroux To 'Get Revenge' On Jennifer Aniston?
- Details

The tabloids have often insinuated Angelina Jolie and Justin Theroux were dating or seeking vengeance against their former spouses, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, respectively. Last year, one tabloid reported Jolie was working on a movie with Theroux to spite Jennifer Aniston. Gossip Cop investigated the story. Here’s what we uncovered.Angelina Jolie And Justin Theroux's Revenge Film. Twelve months ago, Heat asserted Jolie sought revenge against Aniston and was using Theroux to help her. According to the magazine, it wasn’t a secret the two A-list ladies didn't get along, but, at the time, things reportedly got worse after Brad Pitt attended Aniston’s 50th birthday bash.
Did Jennifer Aniston Shade Angelina? Although Gossip Cop confirmed nothing happened between Aniston and Pitt and her milestone celebration, Heat insisted Aniston slammed the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Aniston's comments left Jolie peeved since the Salt actress is starring in the upcoming film, Eternals. The tabloid reported Jolie was “furious” at the “shade” Aniston threw at her and was ruthlessly pursuing a film project with Theroux for retaliation. Heat’s insider further revealed that The Changeling actress knew “getting close to Justin in a professional setting” would “drive Aniston crazy.” The unnamed source added, “There were a number of projects that Justin is already attached to, and producers would love Ange to come on board. It's going to be a bitter pill for Jen to swallow, but Ange wants to send a clear message to her that they're even now, and she needs to be treated with more respect.”
Where Is This Supposed Project? Regardless of what Heat purported, Gossip Cop proved none of this was true. First, Jennifer Aniston’s comments were misconstrued. During an interview with Variety, the Bruce Almighty actress simply expressed disinterest in the Marvel film franchise. That wasn’t a direct insult to Angelina Jolie. Next, there weren’t any reports about Angelina Jolie working on a project with Justin Theroux. The Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle actor is actually on good terms with his former wife, therefore, he wouldn't “seek revenge” against her. Lastly, Gossip Cop checked with a source close to Jolie who confirmed the article's untruth.
The Angelina-Justin-Jennifer Saga Continues.Additionally, we busted the tabloids for being wrong about Aniston, Theroux, and Jolie before. Two years ago, we debunked Heat for alleging that Theroux was begging Aniston for forgiveness. The publication claimed that the actor was ostracized by Hollywood due to his divorce. Gossip Cop corrected the narrative by noting that Theroux's career wasn't disrupted by his split from Aniston.Last year, we dismissed a report from Life & Style that alleged that Theroux met Jolie’s children. The phony story was just another poor attempt to add fuel to the ongoing nonexistent drama between Jolie and Aniston.

Bride wars! Scarlett Johansson to star in new take on Bride of Frankenstein... despite Angelina Jolie's three-year journey to play iconic role

Two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson will produce and star in Bride - a film about the Bride of Frankenstein - despite Oscar winner Angelina Jolie's dueling film, which has been in the works since 2017.The doomed Elizabeth Lavenza, Dr. Victor Frankenstein's adopted sister-turned-fiancée, was originally created by author Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel, Frankenstein.THR reported Thursday that Scarlett's version would be helmed by Oscar winner Sebastián Lelio - the Chilean filmmaker behind Gloria Bell (2019), Disobedience (2018), and A Fantastic Woman (2017). 'It is long overdue for Bride to step out of the shadow of her male counterpart and stand alone,' the 35-year-old JoJo Rabbit actress said in a statement.'Working alongside [screenwriters] Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum, Sebastian and I are extremely excited to emancipate this classic anti-heroine and reanimate her story to reflect the change we see today.' Johnansson's Bride would be a woman created by an entrepreneur to be the ideal wife, but instead rejects her creator and discovers her true identity. Meanwhile, there's been no update on Angelina's similarly plotted Bride of Frankenstein since Variety reported in February that Oscar-nominated producer Amy Pascal was circling the project with screenwriter David Koepp (The Mummy). Pascal was attempting to lure her Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, but it's unlikely considering he'll begin production on Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness starting May 2021.Elizabeth was famously portrayed by Elsa Lanchester opposite Boris Karloff in James Whales' 1935 sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein. Back in 1974, the Bride's transformation was spoofed by Madeline Kahn opposite Peter Boyle in Mel Brooks' critically-acclaimed hit comedy, Young Frankenstein. Two-time Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter looked far more grotesque after her resurrection in Kenneth Branagh's dismally-reviewed 1994 version Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.Other notable actresses to take on the skunk-haired undead character have included Mae Clarke, Valerie Hobson, Hazel Court, Lacey Turner, Patty Mullen, Katie Weston, and Naomie Harris.
