Sacha Baron Cohen verður ekki ánægður ef Bruno opnar ekki stórt

 

 

Sacha Baron Cohen is going to be very upset if Bruno doesn’t enjoy a big box office opening weekend when it hits theaters this July, because the comic actor suffered serious burns after trying to bleach his body hair to play the gay Austrian fashion reporter in the new comedy.

The Golden Globe winner used strong chemicals to make him look “all-over hairless” during filming, but that didn’t go according to play. The 37-year-old star suffered an allergic reaction to the bleach and broke out in a painful rash. He was taken to the hospital  and couldn’t sit down for three days.

A source revealed to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films. He’d heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he’d bleach all his hair so it looked invisible.”

“But it quickly turned into a disaster. Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse,” the spy said. “He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent. It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that he couldn’t sit down for three days.”

Armed with an arsenal of doctor prescribed soothing cream and antihistamines, Sacha’s injury delayed filming for nearly a week.

“Crew members found the whole incident hilarious….”

Keanu Reeves leikur 'Jekyll'

Actor to star in adaptation from scribe Justin Haythe

Universal is developing a modern retelling of the classic novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," with Keanu Reeves attached to star and Justin Haythe, writer of "Revolutionary Road," penning the script.

Nicolas Winding Refn is in negotiations to direct the project, titled "Jekyll." It is being produced by Erwin Stoff and Red Wagon Entertainment's Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher.

Robert Louis Stevenson's tale about a doctor who scientifically develops an evil self has become so pervasive in popular culture that the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" conjures the idea of a split personality. The story has been translated to the screen and stage dozens of times, with several deviations including comedy, kids ("Jekyll and Heidi") and gender (1995's "Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde"). The story has seen modern iterations as recently as 2007, when the BBC aired a miniseries with the story set in the present as Hyde ran amok in London.

Plot details for this "Jekyll" are being kept locked in the laboratory.

Universal clearly is enamored with the tale as it also has been developing a take on it with Guillermo del Toro, though the two couldn't be more different.

Del Toro, who has an affinity for gothic horror as well as creature features, aims to stick more closely to the Stevenson tale. Also, del Toro's project is on the slow track as the filmmaker works on "The Hobbit" for New Line and MGM, which is expected to take up the next five years. Even when he comes back, he likely will tackle one or two other Universal projects before his version, so a good amount of time will exist between the projects.

Universal executive vp production Peter Cramer and vp production Erik Baiers will oversee the "Jekyll" project.

Refn, repped by WMA and Anonymous, is a Danish director who made a name with homegrown gritty thrillers known as the "Pusher" series. He co-wrote and directed the indie crime biopic "Bronson," starring Tom Hardy, which premiered this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Haythe, repped by CAA, also wrote the script for "The Clearing," the Robert Redford kidnapping thriller. He is working on Fox 2000's remake of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea."

Reeves, repped by CAA and 3 Arts Entertainment, most recently starred in Fox's remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
