Josh Trank had his issues on FF, but is fine. Actually a really passionate and nice guy.



You're on the website that helped torpedo his career, mate.
His first thing since FF just came up as kind of a wet fart. And he pretty much killed riding on Jordan's coat tails.

You can get away with that kind of stuff if you're a big enough star. Norton isn't.


He was in the early 2000s. And why are dinging him for doing a job the way marvel hired him to do it. Shouldn't we put the demerit on them? They obviously adjusted course by never letting a writer, actor, or director have an ounce of creative power in their universe again.

He has this reputation because of his miserable experience on The Italian Job and The Incredible Hulk, and for helping the studio "fix" American History X (which is something he was asked to do; he did not take it over). You never hear of any issues he had working with great directors like Wes Anderson, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, or Milos Forman. Or non-great directors like Inarritu, Gavin O'Connor, John Dahl, Danny damn DeVito, or John Curran. A few of these guys keep asking him back.

That and being part of a sect that tries to pray away illness.

Is that why I haven't seen her do anything other than Hilton commercials lately?

She's made a ton of cash with the Pitch Perfect movies, Trolls movies, and had that random role in The Accountant. Hilton partnership just icing on the cake for her. Cant imagine the residuals and piece of the pie she gets from all those kids toys and other merchandise from Trolls.

Bitch or not, I'd stay out of the immediate limelight after all of that too.

I think both of ya'll are right. She's not hurting for money but directors/producers/actors aren't in a hurry to work with her either

worked around Chevy for a few days on the latest Vacation ... he was very nice to all involved and no issues on set. Mind you it was for three days and he probably received a cool million.


My uncle once played in a celebrity golf tournament and he and his buddy were paired up with Bill Murray and one of his friends. The person responsible for the tournament was either an ignoramus or an idiot because he put Chevy in the group directly ahead of them. Chevy played as slow as humanly possible where they caught up to him by Hole 3, and Bill and Chevy start insulting each other. Finally the two groups just merged and my uncle said it was the funniest moment of his life hearing those two going back and forth nonstop insulting each other.

I’ve heard Michael Cera is difficult to work with but looking at IMDB he’s been busier than I thought he was, I don’t watch AD so didn’t know he was on that.

I’m pretty sure Michael Cera intentionally put those rumors out there as a joke. Here’s a video of him “being a bitch”. LINK

i'm aware .. I've sadly been on it for 16 years. I'm speaking from personal experience working with Josh. He brought a vision and was very collaborative. Can't speak to his shenanigans in Baton Rouge on FF.

If this conversation were taking place in 1995, maybe.

Do people say this because of that one time she asked people not to take pictures of her while at the pharmacy or is she actually a bitch?

I sat right behind her at a Saints game when they were filming the first Pitch Perfect and she was cool as shite. She spent way more of the game talking to us that I would have if I was her. We also didn't know who she was until after the game so that might have helped, we just figured she was the workaholics guys GF because they were sitting together

She hasn’t been relevant or had a career in some time. But you’re right, I guess it doesn’t matter. Hell someone brought up Marilyn Monroe.

I bet Doherty was a tiger in the sack.

Hasn't Christian Bale been known to be difficult to get along with or am I making this up?
