Meghan Trainor and Nicki Minaj take over the workplace in the new video for “Nice to Meet Ya,” directed by Matthew Cullen (Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, Kygo, Weezer). The clip stems from a treatment written by Trainor and is inspired by one of her favorite movies, 1988’s Working Girl.
“You don’t know the half of the shit that I’ve said/Go ahead and tell them whatever you heard,” sings Trainor while dancing around with other office girls. “I look different on the surface/You know ain’t nobody perfect.

Meghan Trainor rides a sea of people in her new video, “Wave,” featuring Mike Sabath.
Directed by Matthew Cullen (who’s worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift) and choreographed by Charm Ladonna (Kendrick Lamar, Britney Spears, Rosalía), the clip, shot in an earthy color palette, sees an abstract dance party transform into an almost spiritual experience for Trainor. The pop star glides above the hands of hundreds of extras in a tulle dress. Sabath joins in later, wearing a choice leopard print headband.

2018 was a great year for the box office with plenty of record-breaking hits, but even a good year has its bombs. Here are ten of the most notable bombs this year, including one from the biggest blockbuster franchise of all-time.
“Solo: A Star Wars Story”– Budget: $250 million, Global gross: $392 million
Disney broke box office records left and right this year, but it also had the most high-profile bomb of the year with this “Star Wars” anthology film that told the origins of Han Solo. With lukewarm reviews and stories of a rocky, budget-inflated production hitting the press for months before release, “Solo” became the first “Star Wars” film ever to fail to gross $400 million worldwide. With “Episode IX” still a year away, Disney execs have said that they’re taking another look at how they handle future films in this hallowed series.
“London Fields” — Budget: $8 million, Global gross: $295,435

Hollywood fiascos of this caliber come once or twice a decade.
After over 15 years of assorted delays, a big-screen adaptation of Martin Amis’s murder-mystery novel London Fields arrived in Us theaters at the weekend. David Cronenberg was attached to the earliest phases of the project in 2001, replaced by a series of decreasingly prestigious film-makers that has led to Katy Perry music video veteran Matthew Cullen. Cullen prepared a cut of the film for the Toronto film festival in 2015, but was decidedly displeased to discover that the producers had re-edited the film for exhibition on the festival circuit. He sued over the rights to final cut privileges along with fraud and failure to provide payment, and the production team countersued over his contractually prohibited choice...

Three years after it debuted in Toronto, Amber Heard’s “London Fields” finally hit theaters this weekend — only to set a new record as the second worst wide-release opening in box office history.
Released by Gvn Releasing on 613 screens, the film only grossed around $160,000, for a per screen average of just $262.
According to Box Office Mojo, which classifies a wide release as any film that plays on more than 600 screens, that’s the second worst wide opening of all-time behind “Proud American,” a 2008 film with major corporate sponsorship that retold the creation of Walmart and Coca-Cola. That film posted a wide opening of just over $96,000.

“Halloween” continues to rule the final days of October, as the Universal/Blumhouse sequel stays atop the box office charts with $32 million grossed in its second weekend.
That result is 58 percent down from the film’s studio record $76.2 million opening, better than the 66 percent drop that “The Nun” faced last month after its $53 million start. With a 10-day total of $126 million, the film already ranks third among all Blumhouse releases and should easily pass the theatrical run of “Split” ($138.2 million) for the No. 2 spot this coming week, especially with Halloween night providing a big midweek boost.

The history of movies is littered with absolutely god-awful adaptations of great novels — and whether you consider Martin Amis’s 1990 book London Fields a “great novel” or simple one of the author’s stronger works is a matter to be settled between you and your respective deity. But the lauded British author’s tale of a world torn asunder, a woman who knows the details of her grisly future death and a writer mining it all for material was, if nothing else, a compelling read — all literary bad-boy swagger (U.

Amber Heard has resolved all legal disputes with the holders of the rights to “London Fields,” the 2015 film starring her and ex-husband Johnny Depp, clearing the path for the film to be released.
Nicola Six Limited, the film’s rights holders, announced on Tuesday that it has dismissed its claims against Heard, and that “London Calling” will be released by Gvn Releasing on 600 screens on Oct. 26.

Set in a dystopian future, “London Fields” stars Heard as a femme fatale who becomes involved with three different men — a wealthy financier (Theo James), a petty criminal (Jim Sturgess), and a failing author (Billy Bob Thornton). All three intensely desire her, and by the end of the film, one of them murders her. Depp plays a minor role in the film, which is an adaptation of Martin Amis’ novel of the same name.

The lawsuits aren’t all over, but Aquaman star Amber Heard is out of the legal waters surrounding London Fields.
Almost three years after the Matthew Cullen-directed pic was to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival and nearly two years after producers first sued Heard for breach of contract and more and a countersuit was launched, everyone has put down their plows.
Dismissal paperwork was filed Tuesday night in the Santa Monica courthouse of the Los Angeles Superior Court, Deadline has learned in the matter concerning the flick co-starring Heard’s now-ex-husband Johnny Depp. “We are thrilled that Martin Amis’ bold vision will finally be shared with audiences,” Lynn Gibson, Administrator of rights holder Nicola Six Limited, said of the film based on Amis’ 1989 novel.
“Amber is happy to put this matter behind her,” a rep for Heard said today of the end of the initially $10 million lawsuit against the actor.

Based on the critically acclaimed 1989 Martin Amis novel of the same name, London Fields, the debut film from director Matthew Cullen, has had a problematic path to its theatrical release – and that’s putting it lightly.
As reported by Vulture, the assembly and release of London Fields was troubled from the beginning. After multiple director changes, Cullen finally put the project into production, with Amber Heard playing the prophetic femme fatale Nikola Six. Before its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015, Cullen moved to sue the film’s producers for unauthorized tampering with the film’s footage, ultimately impairing Cullen’s creative vision. Things only got messier when a lawsuit (and a countersuit) broke out between Heard and the producers over Heard’s contractual obligations she made for the film. With all things considered, its almost unbelievable that London Fields now has a theatrical release slated for later this summer.
