With Steven Spielberg the latest director attempting to transfer the magic of Dahl from the page on to the screen with the release of The BFG, here’s a look at how all the other eleven adaptations have fared.

Macaulay Culkin has rubbished suggestions that he spends thousands of dollars on heroin every month.

In 2012, the National Enquirer claimed that the former child star had developed a serious addiction to the drug, and alleged that he was spending around $6,000 on the habit every month.

But he now says that the claims were inaccurate, and rubbished the suggestion that a friend had leaked the information in a bid to get him to seek help.

When asked if people were right to be worried at the time, Culkin told The Guardian: ‘Not… Read the full story

Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones has been bombarded with racist tweets, in what appears to be the latest move in a concerted effort to undermine the film through misogynistic and racist abuse.

The film initially became a target for misogynistic abuse after its all-female cast was announced, with the trailer becoming the most disliked in YouTube history, alongside a slew of misogynistic comments.

But after the film defied the campaign to undermine it and debuted to healthy box office takings, Jones found herself at the centre of a campaign of racial… Read the full story

Idris Elba says he supports the decision to pull his movie Bastille Day from French cinemas after the terror attack in Nice.

The film, which focuses on a terrorist plot to bomb Paris, was released in France last Wednesday – but was removed from cinemas by producers after 84 people were killed when a truck ploughed into a crowd as they celebrated Bastille Day in Nice on Thursday evening.

Idris has now responded to the decision, and comfortably thinks that it was the right thing to do.

Dating app Tinder is leaving your smartphone screen and heading to a cinema near you.

As one of the most successful dating apps in the world, it’s not surprising that a film about Tinder has been given the thumbs up by Warner Bros.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Worst Tinder Date Ever will be a comedy scripted by Friends With Benefits writers Keith Merryman and David A. Newman. The film will tell the story of two people from LA having the most disastrous date imaginable, but of course still falling in love before the credits are up.

Probably the funniest celebrity cameo in Team America: World Police is Matt Damon’s.

Not that he knew about it though as he was presented as a bit of an idiot who like Groot from Guardians Of The Galaxy could only say his name.

But now the Jason Bourne star has revealed exactly what he thought about Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s interpretation of him, and he’s a bit confused.

He said during a Reddit AMA:

I was always kind of bewildered by Team America, I think because it’s hard for us to understand what our images are in public, I think we’re not good judges of that, and when I saw myself on screen just only able to say my own name and not really that well, I kind of wondered “Wow, is that how people perceive me?” At that point I just kind of was like, I’m a screenwriter and an actor, and like really?
