There’s no denying Ivan Reitman’s legacy as a filmmaker. He’s the director of films such as “Stripes,” “Ghostbusters,” “Twins,” and “Kindergarten Cop.” But according to actress Anna Faris, it’s his actions during the production of one of his later films that felt like she was working under a “reign of terror.” 

Speaking on her Anna Faris is Unqualified podcast (via Deadline), Anna Faris spoke with Lena Dunham and opened up about her experience during the shoot of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend.” Apparently, while filming the 2006 movie, Ivan Reitman not only “yelled” at her but she also claims he “slapped my ass,” which left her feeling “angry, hurt, and humiliated.”

One of the strangest new stories to really pick up traction this spring has been T.J. Miller‘s exit from “Silicon Valley.” The comic actor has been on a weirdly involved press tour to explain why he left the hit show, and the main reason is that he wanted more time to pursue other gigs….like “The Emoji Movie.”

“They came to me and said, ‘Look, we’re not going to pick up your contingency because we want to offer you doing five episodes out of the 10, or three episodes.’ And then I said, ‘Oh perfect, I had been wanting to ask if you guys would be open to me leaving the show.’ And then they suddenly said, ‘Wait, no, what?

Well, here we are in 2017, and Hollywood has figured out a way to make a movie about emojis. I have no words — or emojis — to express how I actually feel about this, but if you ever wanted a full-length feature film about those little faces and icons you send to friends, well, I guess this is for you.
