Actor Christoph Waltz has spoken about his interpretation of classic Bond villain Blofeld in last year’s Spectre, and he wasn’t quite happy with how it turned out.
Spectre was met with mixed reviews when it released in November last year, and while Daniel Craig said he’d ‘rather slash his wrists’ than do another Bond movie following the film, Christoph Waltz has now aired his problems with how he tackled the villainous character of Blofeld.

The first trailer has been released for Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire, and it looks set to be the usual brilliant blend of dark humour and excessive violence that the cult director has become known for.
The crime thriller boasts an impressive cast that includes the likes of Brie Larson and Cillian Murphy, and tells the story of an arms deal gone wrong when two warring gangs meet up at a Boston warehouse in the 1970s.
But while the relatively simple premise could be a disastrous orgy of violence in the wrong hands, the trailer looks like the Sightseers director has managed to weave a sense of pathos into the bullet-fuelled and bloody proceedings.
With roles in the likes of Wedding Crashers, Swingers and True Detective, Vince Vaughn’s established himself as one of the most versatile actors around.
However the 46-year-old appears to have undergone a bit of a transformation – one which we certainly didn’t see coming.
Vince looked his usual self when he showed up at the Venice Film Festival earlier this week to promote his new movie Hacksaw Ridge – which marks Mel Gibson’s return to directing.
But just a few days later, he’s looking very different indeed. Click on the image below for an idea… Read the full story

Anne Hathaway has expressed more than a little eagerness to get back into her Catwoman suit.

And now, although Batman’s story has taken a very different turn this year with the (critically panned) Batman Vs Superman and Suicide Squad, Hathaway isn’t quite ready to let go of the PVC.
‘I loved that character and I had such a blast playing her,’ she told… Read the full story
The creator of Grease has waded into that argument about whether or not the 1978 musical movie was all about Sandy dying and heading up to heaven.

Michael Fassbender has made a hilarious, less-than-glowing analysis of his role in 2014 movie X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Vulture reports that afterwards, he said: ‘I don’t actually like that performance there, to be honest.
French photographer François Dourlen has become a true online sensation after cutting pop icons into real world situations using his iPhone.
