BOX OFFICE KRYPTONITE: ‘Supergirl’ star flames fans ahead of premiere
Netflix
‘Steeled’ for success?
If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again.
Milly Alcock, taking a page from the Rachel Zegler playbook, just put Geek Nation on notice. Watch “Supergirl” at your own peril.
The rising star plays the Girl of Steel in the June release, a project hot on the heels of last year’s “Superman” reboot.
And she’s making sure to attack potential fans weeks before the film’s debut. Here, she tells Vanity Fair why working on “House of the Dragon” made her a target for the very people who consume her content.
“It definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on. … We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”
Worst sales pitch ever? Maybe not. We’ve already seen Zegler mock anyone who actually liked the iconic Disney film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and look how that turned out. Bombs away!
Before that, those Lady “Ghostbusters” made the 2016 reboot a culture war battle, and that movie dramatically underperformed.
More recently, the creator behind “The Acolyte” attacked fans for not loving the show’s uber-woke storytelling.
Keep it up, Hollywood. At some point, putting the consumer on blast will no doubt pay off …
Wake up, Streeple!
Stephen Colbert isn’t content personally twisting the truth from his “Late Show” perch. This week, he teed up Oscar winner Meryl Streep to do the honors.
The “Devil Wears Prada 2” star visited the soon-to-be-history show, and at the end of the chat Colbert asked her if there was anything else she wanted to share.
Late-night shows routinely do “pre-interviews” where the guest sketches out the stories and anecdotes he or she will share when the cameras click on.
So Streep launched into a fake news scare tactic, saying the GOP’s SAVE America Act would disenfranchise female voters.
If that passes, all the married women that have changed their names are going to have to go to the registrar and prove that they are who they are. In other words, to your voting registrar. This is what I understand.
Streep, needless to say, understands incorrectly. That final “Late Show” broadcast can’t come soon enough, can it?
Rowling canceled? JK!
The left’s attempt to cancel J.K. Rowling suffered yet another humiliating defeat. Two, actually. Last month, the first trailer for the upcoming “Harry Potter” series shattered records for the streaming giant.
Now, we’re getting a “behind-the-scenes” peek at the December release coming April 5. “Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic” will air at 3 p.m. ET on HBO Max.
It’s a brilliant way to build anticipation for the series and get some serious eyeballs. It also points to the utter failure of the left’s smear campaign against all Rowling-related projects.
Progressives have been raging against the British author since she defied the trans movement’s agenda on select issues. She’s all for the trans community but not a fan of trans women competing against biological women, for example.
For that, she’s faced a six-year cancellation attempt, often hyped by the legacy media. Will somebody tell them it’s not 2020 anymore?
To paraphrase 1982’s “First Blood” … “It’s over, wokies. It’s over.”
