Major female film roles that were originally for men

Back in the early 2010's when Sandra Bullock was growing fed up with the lack of interesting female characters on offer, she appealed to filmmakers and asked whether there were any male roles out there that they wouldn't mind switching to female. Her proactivity landed her the leading role in David Gordon Green's 'Our Brand Is Crisis,' a part that was originally written with George Clooney in mind. The gender switch made for 'Our Brand Is Crisis' was not the first of its kind; in fact, there are a fair few films whose leading female characters were originally written as male. In some cases, the script was altered once a woman was cast in the role. In others, it was kept pretty much exactly the same. Check out this gallery to learn which female film roles were originally meant for men.

How stunts and slow motion built this Mortal Kombat scene

This behind-the-scenes video follows the making of a live-action Mortal Kombat project filmed in Utah. The production focuses on a multi-round fight sequence involving detailed costumes, practical props, and carefully rehearsed choreography. The actor playing Johnny Cage explains the personality of his character while sharing his own connection to the game series. The performer portraying Scorpion demonstrates how difficult it is to control a rope dart while avoiding tangles and maintaining safe distance from a stunt partner. Complex camera movements and costume details make some scenes take longer than expected to complete. A lighthearted on-set mishap involving a prop spear briefly interrupts filming and becomes one of the more memorable moments of the shoot. The team extends production into a second day rather than rushing the remaining action scenes. Temporary tattoos, makeup, and costume continuity all require additional attention between takes. A Phantom Flex 4K camera is used to capture selected combat moments in dramatic ultra-slow motion. The video offers a clear look at the stunt planning, technical filmmaking, and teamwork behind a live-action game-inspired fight.

These silent movie stunts look too dangerous to be real… then you remember it’s Buster Keaton - “Okay”

More than a century after Buster Keaton became one of the defining figures of silent cinema, his most extraordinary physical comedy and stunt work can still leave audiences wondering how the scenes were possible. This compilation brings together a selection of Keaton’s wildest movie moments and presents the historic footage in restored, colorized 4K. Rather than relying on dialogue or narration, the video allows the visual performances themselves to take center stage, accompanied primarily by music. Keaton became famous for combining elaborate physical comedy with an almost completely expressionless screen persona, earning him the nickname “The Great Stone Face.” That contrast made his performances unique: chaos could erupt around him while Keaton appeared almost completely unfazed. Vehicles, moving machinery, collapsing objects, elaborate chases and precisely timed physical gags became tools for comedy, with many sequences requiring extraordinary coordination between the performer, camera crew and practical effects.

The biggest celebrity lawsuits ever

The dollar figures are obscene, the drama even louder: here’s a whirlwind tour of Hollywood’s priciest courtroom fights ever. Blac Chyna’s legal war with the Kardashians was reality TV turned courtroom spectacle. She sued Kim, Khloe, Kylie, and Kris for $108 million, claiming they killed ‘Rob & Chyna’ and her career. Testimony was messy, accusations flew, and ratings soared. The verdict? Zero dollars for Chyna, proving clout doesn’t guarantee court victories even when everyone is watching. Scarlett Johansson’s clash with Disney proved that even superheroes read contracts closely. She accused the studio of gutting her ‘Black Widow’ backend by dumping it simultaneously on Disney Plus. Johansson sought $50 million, arguing that streaming strategy trumped theatrical promises. Disney settled quietly, but the lawsuit loudly warned studios that talent might punch back—cape or no cape required, legally speaking. Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively turned a romantic drama into a legal soap opera. After Lively accused Baldoni of harassment, lawsuits detonated in every direction. Baldoni sued the New York Times, then sued Lively and Ryan Reynolds for allegedly hijacking creative control. The damages claim? A jaw-dropping $400 million, plus endless leaks, receipts, and reputational shrapnel everywhere. For the rich and famous, having personal assistants, nannies, or housekeepers is nothing out of the ordinary. But for some celebrities, these relationships don’t always end well. Over the years, countless stars have ended up in legal trouble with their former employees. Here are some famous celebrities who were actually sued by people who worked for them: In 2021, Kim Kardashian was sued by seven members of her household staff over a variety of complaints. According to court documents, the employees claimed they weren’t paid on a regular schedule, weren’t given legally required meals or rest breaks, and weren’t paid overtime, among other issues. After two years of legal back and forth, including an attempt by Kim to have the case dismissed, the parties eventually reached an undisclosed settlement in 2023. Over the years, Naomi Campbell has been sued by several former employees. For example, in 2006, the model’s former assistant, Amanda Brack, sued Campbell for assault, battery, false imprisonment, and inflicting emotional distress, according to the Today Show. The lawsuit was settled out of court and dismissed in a Manhattan court in 2007 under undisclosed terms. In 1998, former celebrity couple Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were sued by their nanny, Kim Tannahill, for allegedly verbally and physically assaulting her. Tannahill sued the couple for $900,000 in damages and later opened a second suit in a federal court claiming Willis and Moore refused to pay her for overtime hours. The couple hit back with a lawsuit of their own, accusing Tannahill of slander and breach of confidentiality. In the end, the federal case was dismissed, and the remaining claims were quietly settled behind closed doors. Celebrities are often the subject of lawsuits and public scandals, but there have also been moments when A-list stars have pushed back against major corporations and media outlets to defend their reputations and careers. Back when they were one of Hollywood’s biggest couples, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sued the British tabloid News of the World after it reported that the pair were divorcing and negotiating custody arrangements for their children. The story quickly spread across other outlets, but the couple strongly denied the allegations. Pitt and Jolie ultimately won the case, with the newspaper agreeing to publish an apology and pay the couple damages and legal costs. Kate Winslet took similar legal action after the Daily Mail published an article accusing her of exaggerating how little she exercised to stay in shape following her Oscar win for ‘The Reader.’ The paper claimed that Winslet was being dishonest after she previously spoke about not having time for the gym, while also mentioning that she did home workouts. Winslet argued that the article twisted her comments and unfairly portrayed her as a hypocrite, saying she felt “distressed and embarrassed” by the claims. She won the lawsuit, with the Daily Mail later issuing an apology and agreeing to pay her damages and legal fees. In 2012, Princess Kate sued the French edition of Closer Magazine after it published topless photos of her, taken during a private holiday with Prince William. The British royal family described the images as a serious invasion of privacy and compared the publication’s treatment of Kate to the intense media harassment faced by the late Princess Diana. The court ruled in favor of the couple, ordering the defendants to pay €100,000 in damages, along with additional fines for the publication’s editor and editorial director. Scarlett Johansson sued Disney in 2021 over the release of ‘Black Widow,’ claiming
