Justin Lin is ready to announce his next project, Stakehorse. Is it about a horse made of wooden stakes? Doubtful. Sources say the forthcoming crime thriller is like Ben Affleck’s 2010 banger The Town. The screenplay hails from Justin Piasecki, with a plot revolving around a horse veterinarian who has a side hustle patching up criminals who need medical attention under the table.
After shooting several chapters of the Fast and Furious saga and more, Lin is a clever and creative director with a sleek style all his own. In addition to directing Stakehorse, Lin will produce through his Perfect Storm Entertainment studio with Todd Lieberman and Alex Young of Hidden Pictures. Perfect Storm’s Andrew Schneider and Sal Gatdula will exec produce.

Vin Diesel has had a number of reported feuds throughout the ongoing Fast & Furious franchise. But the most widely discussed and buzzworthy was that with Dwayne Johnson, who first appeared in 2011’s Fast Five and was pretty much a mainstay after. And while Vin Diesel chalked up their beef to “tough love”, fellow franchise star John Cena leans more towards ego between Diesel and Johnson, channeling Highlander with, “There can be only one.”
Appearing on the Armchair Expert podcast (via People), John Cena confirmed that there was more than enough bad blood between Diesel and Johnson from what he saw, saying, “There’s certainly rumors about that. I can’t deny that. You have two very alpha, driven people. You get two, there can only be one.” There was plenty of instigating going on ahead of 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, with Johnson labeling the Dominic Toretto portrayer...

John Cena is giving his thoughts on the long-standing feud between Fast & Furious co-stars, Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel.
The WWE star made an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, where he talked about the behind-the-scenes drama.
“There’s certainly rumors about that. I can’t deny that. You have two very alpha, driven people,” Cena responded. “You get two. There can only be one.”
Cena joined the film franchise in 2021’s F9: The Fast Saga as Jakob Toretto, Dom’s (Diesel) estranged brother.
“Man, you gotta remember I got dropped into a locker room where [we have] generational vets,” Cena said. “‘What’d your dad do?’ ‘Wrestle.’ ‘What’d your granddad do?’ ‘Wrestle.’ I’ve been in that environment; know the room and just kind of adapt to what’s going on.”
Cena continued, “I’m being invited into someone’s home, into someone’s family. And...

Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel’s longstanding “Fast & Furious” feud came to an official end last year when Johnson shocked fans by popping up as the beloved Luke Hobbs in a “Fast X” mid-credits scene. Diesel had extended an invitation to Johnson in November 2021 to join “Fast X,” but Johnson said the following month that “I would not be returning to the franchise.” That turned out to be a bluff.
The duo’s “Fast & Furious” co-star John Cena recently appeared on the “Armchair Expert” podcast (via People) and was asked by host Dax Shepard about the rumors concerning Johnson and Diesel’s on-set tussle. The host said “that was a rough pairing.”

Update, 12:25 Pm: A day after John Ridley, ABC and the Walt Disney Company sued for discrimination and retaliation by a former employee, the Oscar winner is rejecting the claims.
“The allegations against Mr. Ridley are false, and the allegation that Mr. Ridley is biased against Asian-Americans is preposterous,” says attorney Jennifer Redmond of the April 3 jury seeking filing by Asta Jonasson. “We look forward to proving as much in court,” the Sheppard Mullin partner added.
Disney declined comment on the matter.
As we mentioned in yesterday’s story below – Full disclosure: Shirley director/writer Ridley is the co-host of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast.

Disney has been hit with a new lawsuit from a development executive over allegations that she was underpaid because she’s an Asian American woman.
Asta Jonasson, in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims she was discriminated against by director John Ridley, whose production house has an overall deal with Disney through ABC Studios. She says she was fired in retaliation for issuing a complaint about unequal pay on the basis of her gender and race.
The lawsuit comes on the heels of Disney facing growing legal woes over allegations of pay discrimination against women described in a class action filed in 2019. The case cleared a major hurdle last year when a judge certified a class of employees, who work across the company’s movie production arm, record labels, theme parks and home distribution subsidiaries, among various other units including broadcast and research and development.

Vin Diesel denied the sexual assault allegations brought against him late last year by a woman who briefly worked as the actor’s assistant in 2010.
On Monday, March 25, Diesel’s lawyers answered the suit, saying the actor denied “generally and specifically, each and every allegation” leveled by the plaintiff, Asta Jonasson. Similar filings were made on behalf of the other defendants in the case, Diesel’s production company, One Race Productions, and the actor’s sister, Samantha Vincent, who’s a producer at the company.

Baldness is an inevitable aspect of aging for many men, or at least a result of their genetic makeup. However, going bald does not imply losing one’s attractive appearance. For example, Dwayne Johnson, 51, is a perfect example of how going ‘bald’ is just another style. Did we forget to mention his strong, muscle-bound physics, which is a sight to behold for anyone?
Well, his avid admirers are likely to picture him as the bald, ripped guy whom we all adore. But the Baywatch star did not always have such massive, superhuman-like muscles. Indeed, he was just one of us, regular folks, with no muscular pecs or curved arms, or, we can say, just “skinny” Rock.

Dwayne Johnson is now an A-list actor who has immense star power. He has been in some major franchises including Fast and the Furious and Jumanji. Johnson is a big part of the audience’s interest in these franchises and their huge commercial successes. However, Johnson had to work his way up in the industry when she started in the 2000s.

Johnson had a passion project that he wanted to star in ever since he became an actor. At the time, Johnson did not have the star power and stature big enough to pitch studios to greenlight a film. The actor had to build up his career for 15 years and even turned down a major franchise to bring his passion project to the big screen.

Dwayne Johnson has been leaning into his heel character in WWE a little too much that fans have now started going against him. In the recently concluded Oscar Awards, Johnson graced the red carpet among other celebrities. He had a little chat and a game of ‘Rock Paper Scissors’ with Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date fame. Fans are pretty sure that the Black Adam actor was not happy when he lost the game to Dimoldenberg.

However, it might be a stretch, since the actor had lost another game of Rock Paper Scissors against MrBeast a couple of years back and was totally cool about it. He even made a donation of $100,000 to charity.

Oscars 2024 just got a little Nsfw after John Cena walked onto the stage naked to present the Best Costume Design category. Cena’s point was to prove why costumes were so important and his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie couldn’t stop blushing and laughing at his hilarious antics. But fans also noticed how well-maintained the WWE star’s body was. His clearly demarcated abs were one of the highlights of this Oscar evening.

In comparison, another WWE wrestler-turned-actor could never dream of having the new Oscar streaker’s abs. Dwayne Johnson, who is known for his muscular, well-toned body in Hollywood, cannot have a six-pack due to medical reasons.

We’re less than a month away from one of WWE’s biggest events ever. But tensions started to rise even before the final showdown. Recently, Amanda Huber, wife of the late Aew star Jon Huber (Brodie Lee), called out Dwayne Johnson for his insensitive comment on Cody Rhodes.

Huber, who works with Aew as a community outreach coordinator, criticized Johnson for talking about Rhodes’ age gap with his siblings when The Rock’s own kids have a 20-year difference.
Simone is Johnson’s eldest child, born in 2001 to his former wife, Dany Garcia. His youngest daughter, Tiana Gia Johnson, was born in 2018.

Vin Diesel has been pretty busy for the last few years with his long-running franchise, Fast & Furious. Despite their huge fan-following and impressive track record, the popularity of the franchise has been dwindling. Yet, the actor will be giving the movie series a last chance as he is reportedly working on the last ever movie of the franchise.

Apple TV+ has added more than 50 licensed movies included in the price of the subscription service — the streamer’s biggest collection of back-catalog studio content to date. But the third-party titles will only be available for a limited time.
Apple TV+’s lineup has mostly comprised original series, movies and specials commissioned for the platform (as well as a smattering of live MLB games). Now it has added a bouquet of older film favorites to the mix, including popular and award-winning movies like “Titanic,” “300,” “Argo,” “Black Hawk Down,” “The Bodyguard,” “Jurassic World,” “Gravity,” “Fast & Furious 6,” “Kill Bill” Volume 1 and 2, “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the original 2004 “Mean Girls” and “Zoolander.”
The movies are listed in a new section on the service labeled “Great Movies on Apple TV+” — however, the service notes, these are available for a “limited time.

The move could signal a shift in strategy by Apple to finally incorporate more library titles into its catalog.
Is Apple TV+ finally getting non-original titles in its streaming library? Yes, at least temporarily, at any rate, as the streamer has added a total of 51 movies to its streaming catalog, spanning every genre and including some true blockbusters. Apple stresses that these titles will only be available for a limited time, but it could be providing a glimpse into its own future with the additions. Having long focused on high-quality originals without the studio archives or licensing library of its competitors, Apple V+ has been a somewhat different type of streamer since it launched in November 2019.
Titles available on Apple TV+ include “Star Trek,” “Kill Bill,” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” “300” and more. Each movie will only be available on the streamer until March or April. Apple has resisted offering library titles before,...

In his first public statement since sexual battery allegations against him in December, Vin Diesel said he’s sticking with the “Fast & Furious” franchise and confirmed the next film is its last. He did not address any misconduct or the lawsuit brought against him.
Late last year, a civil action filed against the star alleged the “Fast & Furious” star forcibly groped and molested former staffer and plaintiff Asta Jonasson during the production of “Fast Five” in the fall of 2010.

Vin Diesel’s been laying low in recent months following a bit of a double whammy. In May, Fast X Part 1 hit theaters to a collective shrug, with the film drastically underperforming at the box office, “only” making $714 million worldwide. While that sounds like a lot of money, it was under the benchmark the movie needed to break even for Universal. Given all the behind-the-scenes drama, many wondered what the supposed final Fast movie would be, especially with another spin-off announced for Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs, and the big Fast X baddie, Jason Momoa’s Reyes. The second big blow for Diesel came in December when a former assistant accused him of sexual battery during the making of Fast Five, an accusation Diesel “categorically denied.”
With the star laying low in recent months, many wondered what would become of the Fast Saga. Now, in his first post about the Fast Saga in a while,...

Diesel took to Instagram on Friday to share that he met earlier that day with the writers and team behind the planned finale for Universal Pictures’ action movie series.

John Cena knows how to wrestle. And he put that skill to good use when he decided to take a role in Barbie despite his agency saying the role of a mermaid was “beneath” him.
Cena appeared on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday and dived into the conflict. Cena said that ultimately it was Margot Robbie who helped bring him on board.
But his agency thought differently about the part.
“I don’t put it past them. They’re just going on what they know,” Cena said. “And what they know is, ‘This entity, this commodity, gravitates towards these things, we should stay in this lane. But I’m not a commodity. I’m a human being, and I operate under the construct of every opportunity is an opportunity. And I read the script of the movie and I tried my hardest to be in the movie,...

The Fast and Furious franchise has featured some pretty big stars since the early days of the street racing crew stealing TV/Vcr combos.

There was a time not so long ago when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was the most untouchable and powerful man in Hollywood. He was the highest-paid actor in 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and there was such a push in 2017 for him to run for president that he starred in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch about it. His inclusion in the "Fast & Furious" franchise starting with "Fast Five" helped catapult the series into an international box office juggernaut, and considering his career in the wrestling ring made him one of the most well-loved figures in all of pop culture, it's understandable that he would have a lot more pull with studios than the average performer.
But Dwayne Johnson is far from invincible.
Reports of his on-and-off feud with "Fast" co-star Vin Diesel painted him as a bit high maintenance, and when the public learned of the "No Lose" clause in his contract (which...

Although today we think of the "Fast and Furious" movies as a massively successful, popular franchise, it's worth remembering that its roots were fairly humble. The 2001 movie "The Fast and the Furious" was mostly small-scale and self-contained, focusing almost entirely on Paul Walker's Brian, who works as an undercover cop and discovers an unlikely friendship with the noble criminal Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). The movie enjoyed a good (but not amazing) box office performance and received less-than-stellar reviews. Odds were, it would probably get one or two sequels max before it faded into irrelevancy.
But even before critics started bashing the movie for being "'Rebel Without a Cause' without a cause," there were still plenty of reasons for the relatively unknown Paul Walker to be concerned about the project. When he first signed onto it in 1998, "The Fast and the Furious" didn't even have a screenplay, and...

In the latest season of ‘What If…?’ fans were in for a surprise as Vin Diesel did not return to voice Groot. The premiere episode showcased a scenario where Nebula, now with the Nova Corps, teams up with unlikely allies like Howard the Duck, Miek Korg, and Groot to save Xandar from Ronan’s clutches and Nova Prime’s dark plans.
While Groot played a smaller role in the episode, it was evident that a different voice actor, Fred Tatisciore, took on the role, marking the first time someone other than Vin Diesel voiced the beloved character. Diesel has been the consistent voice of Groot in all previous Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, earning a substantial paycheck of around 55 million dollars for his contributions.
The reasons behind Diesel’s absence from voicing Groot in ‘What If…?’ remain unclear. However, it’s worth noting that not all live-action actors reprised their roles...

The complaint names Diesel’s One Race Films, which allegedly fired Jonasson in retaliation for resisting his advances and to have the “assault covered up.”
In a statement, Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Diesel, said his client “categorically denies this claim in its entirety.” The statement added, “This is the first he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a purportedly 9-day employee. There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations.”

Updated with Diesel lawyer’s statement: A former assistant to Vin Diesel has accused the actor of sexually molesting her in Atlanta during the filming of Fast Five in 2010 and then firing her in retaliation soon afterward.
The suit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Diesel attacked Asta Jonasson in the St. Regis Hotel after a night of seemingly hard partying with hostesses he’d met at a nearby club.
“Vin Diesel forcibly grabbed Ms. Jonasson, groped her breasts, and kissed her,” says the 10-claim sexual battery, discrimination and retaliation complaint (read the lawsuit here). “Ms. Jonasson struggled continually to break free of his grasp, while repeatedly saying no. Vin Diesel is physically larger and much stronger than Ms. Jonasson, and abused his position of authority as her employer, and was able to easily overpower Ms. Jonasson.”
It adds, “Vin Diesel ignored Ms. Jonasson’s clear...

“Fast and Furious” star Vin Diesel is being accused of sexual battery by his former assistant.
A lawsuit was filed against the actor in Los Angeles courts (via Vanity Fair) by ex-employee Asta Jonasson, who alleges Diesel assaulted her in September 2010 during the production of “Fast Five” in Atlanta.
Jonasson is accusing Diesel of molesting her at the St. Regis hotel after he “entertained hostesses he had brought back from a club.” Per the lawsuit, Diesel allegedly grabbed Jonasson’s wrists and pulled her onto the bed despite her asking him to stop.
“Ms. Jonasson was afraid to more forcibly refuse her supervisor, knowing that getting him out of that room was both crucial to her personal safety and job security,” the lawsuit reads. “But this hope died when Vin Diesel dropped to his knees, pushed Ms. Jonasson’s dress up toward her waist, and molested her body, running his hands over Ms.
