I’m so glad that Atomic Blonde 2 is on the way (and I’m thankful that’s even possible in the current situation) but more shocking was to read that there’s gonna be a “Fury Road” prequel but without Charlize Theron!
By the way, that Hollywood Reporter article in general was nice. I really liked that they mentioned both Tom Hardy and her doing mistakes when working on “Fury Road” and now owing up to them. Also, the NYT article they talk about is really fascinating: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/movies/mad-max-fury-road-oral-history.html
jodie comer. that’s it. that’s the comment.
Good stuff.
Let’s all be glad I’m not on any awards panel, because I would just throw all of the little golden statues at her.
While ugly crying.
Hi, if you read this comment, don’t waste your time any further and watch that Jodie Comer clip, even if you’ve never seen a minute of Killing Eve in your life.

Can we stop celebrating Elizabeth Moss please, she is still a member of Scientology, which is a cult not a religion.
Exactly this.
