Harrison Ford Talked Miley Cyrus Out of Filming ‘Something Beautiful' in a Forest

Yahoo22-05-2025
Harrison Ford may have played a role in the creative direction of Something Beautiful. In a new interview for The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1, Miley Cyrus shared that the iconic actor made a suggestion about her film, which she ended up following.
Cyrus explained that the pair of stars (who have known each other by 'just growing up in Disney and [being] in the same circles') were catching up on their respective projects when Cyrus decided to show him a PDF about her vision.

'I show him my idea of Somewhere Beautiful, which is performing in all the forests and at the pyramids and all these things. He goes, 'You really want to go and set up in a forest and do what?' He's like, 'You going to bring a crew? You got to…' He's like, 'Looks expensive,'' Cyrus told Lowe of the conversation.
The pop star shared that the conversation led her to make changes to the music film, which she hopes will be a replacement for touring Something Beautiful.
'I came back to the trailer, I was like, 'Guys, we're not performing in the forest anymore. Harrison Ford made a lot of sense,'' Cyrus said. 'That's why I want to create this film, the film is my way of touring.'
She added: 'That's why I'm putting it into theaters, because it's something you can watch night after night after night and you get to discover and you get to feel like you're a part of a performance but I don't have to tax myself in that way.'
During the interview, Cyrus explained that she was laying off touring due to the strain it puts on her body and vocal cords, especially after being diagnosed with Reinke's Edema, a condition caused by vocal cord overuse. She added that she would not undergo surgery, as 'the chance of waking up from a surgery and not sounding like myself is a probability.'
'I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am, but it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' Cyrus said. 'So even when I'm talking sometimes, at the end of the day I'll call my mom and she'll go, 'Oh, you sound like you're talking through a radio.' And that's how you know I'm really tired because it creates that ultimate vocal fry.'
Cyrus unveiled the track list for her album Something Beautiful earlier this week. It'll feature 12 songs, including collaborations with Naomi Campbell and rock star Brittany Howard. Cyrus is set to release the LP on May 30, followed by its short film premiering on June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival before it hits theaters nationwide on June 12. A synopsis of the project describes it as 'a unique visual experience… including 13 original songs from the upcoming album. A one-of-a-kind pop opera from the mind of Miley Cyrus.'

The Matrix is now streaming for free. Find out how to stream great movies (July 25-27)

Streaming has undoubtedly changed how we watch movies. While nothing can replace the theatrical experience, the pros of streaming ultimately outweigh the cons. That being said, the prices are getting out of control. Offset those costs by downloading FAST services, free apps that offer thousands of movies at no cost to the consumer. If you believe the quality of movies on FAST services is poor, think again. The Matrix, one of the most influential movies of the last 30 years, is streaming for free. The hits don't stop there. Learn how to stream The Matrix and two other films below. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. The Matrix (1999) Trying to explain the importance of The Matrix in two paragraphs is borderline impossible, so I'll give you the Cliff's Notes. Directed by the Wachowskis, The Matrix explores a dystopian future where humanity becomes trapped inside a simulated reality controlled by machines. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves), better known as the hacker Neo, is recruited by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to join his band of rebels in the fight to free humans from the Matrix. Morpheus believes Neo is 'the One,' humanity's messiah who will destroy the sentient agents trying to keep people from escaping the Matrix. Many of The Matrix's elements — fight choreography, slow motion, wire fu techniques, and philosophical themes — inspired an entire generation of movies. Without The Matrix, most of your favorite action and sci-fi movies in the 21st century would not exist. Stream The Matrix on Pluto TV. The Wedding Singer (1998) If Happy Gilmore 2 becomes a hit, perhaps Netflix would want to explore another sequel to another Adam Sandler '90s movie, The Wedding Singer. Before 1998, Sandler was best known for his juvenile and immature humor. The Wedding Singer displayed Sandler's softer side, proving something that many of us have known for years — the Sandman is one of Hollywood's most versatile actors. The kind-hearted Robbie Hart (Sandler) is left at the altar on his wedding day. To make matters worse, Robbie works as a wedding singer, meaning he's constantly surrounded by love and happiness, two things he has yet to find. The only thing snapping him out of his depression is Julia (Drew Barrymore), a cheerful waitress who asks Robbie to help plan her wedding. As the two bond over wedding plans, Robbie realizes he loves Julia and wants to be the one to marry her. Grow Old With You is a Hall of Fame Sandler song. Stream The Wedding Singer on Tubi. The Worst Person in the World (2021) Do not take the title, The Worst Person in the World, at face value. Renate Reinsve's Julie might believe she's a bad person, but in actuality, she's confused about her life and afraid of the future. It's a normal feeling for anyone in Julie's shoes, an unmarried twentysomething transitioning into her 30s. Divided into 12 chapters, a prologue, and an epilogue, The Worst Person in the World explores Julie's romantic life, including her relationships with a comic artist (Anders Danielsen Lie) and a barista (Herbert Nordrum). The spectacular Reinsve injects passion, charisma, and depth into her character while subverting our expectations in a familiar genre. Reinsve and director Joachim Trier will reunite later this year in the Oscar favorite Sentimental Value. Stream The Worst Person in the World on Tubi.

‘Ginger Twinsies' review: Campy off-Broadway ‘Parent Trap' parody is millennial catnip

Theater review GINGER TWINSIES 80 minutes with no intermission. At the Orpheum Theatre, 126 Second Ave. Am I seeing double? If the answer is 'yes' at 'Ginger Twinsies,' you might be suffering from heatstroke. Because the funniest bit of writer-director Kevin Zak's stage parody of 'The Parent Trap' that opened Thursday night at the Orpheum Theatre in the East Village is the title characters' complete lack of resemblance. Advertisement The 11-year-old twin sisters, Hallie and Annie, both played by pasty, redheaded Lindsay Lohan in the 1998 film, are taken on here by a white guy, Russell Daniels, and a black woman, Aneesa Folds. They're a pair of hilarious adults, with Red Bull coursing through their veins, who couldn't look less alike. It's ludicrous that the girls' estranged parents, posh British fashion designer Elizabeth (Lakisha May) and salt-of-the-earth Napa Valley vintner Nick (Matthew Wilkas), can't tell these obviously different people apart. But we go along with it. And the result, stupid as it gets, is very funny. The entire off-its-rocker off-Broadway show, whose sole sin is occasionally trying too hard, is lovably loony. So, for that matter, is watching a room full of millennials, drunk on nostalgia, mouthing every word and knowing every beat of a 27-year-old kid's movie. Advertisement If you're 29 to 44 and fall into the 'Parent Trap' obsessive category, that would be a fruitful topic to bring up with your therapist next time. If you don't, well, congratulations. The Disney language barrier of 'Ginger Twinsies' will take a few minutes to ease into. But once you get the gist — and it ain't hard — the comedy amounts to an onslaught of wrecking-ball subtle jokes, barked so loud by the eight-person cast that the bowls of borscht a block away at Veselka vibrate. 4 Aneesa Folds and Russell Daniels star as Hallie and Annie in 'Ginger Twinsies.' Matthew Murphy 4 Lindsay Lohan's breakout role was as both twins in the 1998 film. Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement Zak's smart realization is that 'The Parent Trap' actually functions as a solid stage farce. All the pieces are there: mistaken identities, a love triangle, English accents. Amping up the mischief, since the adult-aimed play can kick the cute movie's PG rating to the curb, plenty of sex humor is tossed in. As in the Nancy Meyers flick, after British Annie and American Hallie unexpectedly meet at summer camp and discover they're long-lost sisters, they decide to swap personas. Hallie jets to London and Annie heads to California to meet mom and dad and, eventually, force them back together. From there, 'Ginger Twinsies' takes fond childhood memories and stomps on them with ruthless mockery, a trivia night's worth of 1990s and aughts pop culture references, filthy humor and nuclear energy. Frankly, at times the show is too high-pitched; a Lindsay's Boot Camp at which even the slightest break is not permitted. So few breaths are taken, the actors' faces become redder than their wigs. Advertisement 4 The one-act comedy sends up Nancy Meyers' 1998 Disney movie. Matthew Murphy The octet runs like hamsters on a wheel on Beowulf Boritt's cabin set covered in kitschy cutouts. Think Big Ben hand-drawn in Crayola. But when the play confidently finds its groove in the middle, the Napa and London scenes, the ensemble's comedic skills knock us over like Lindsay Lohan was in that amnesia Christmas movie. Phillip Taratula is a scream as Meredith — Nick's viperous 26-year-old fiancée. The actor plays the misunderstood minx as a pantomime villain, who enters wearing an absurdly large hat only to take it off to reveal smaller and smaller versions of the same accessory. 4 As Meredith, Phillip Taratula enters wearing a gigantic hat. Matthew Murphy As the household help, Jimmy Ray Bennett sneeringly hops between upper-crust butler Martin and Annie's grandpa by barely lifting a hand-held mustache to his lip. And Grace Reiter plays vineyard worker Chessy like she's Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem. In what could hardly be called a twist, Wilkas' Nick, the Dennis Quaid role in the movie, takes a sleeveless Village People turn. And May's Elizabeth goes on a hotel bender, making Whitney Houston cracks. The Orpheum's most famous tenant, 'Stomp,' opened years before 'The Parent Trap' hit theaters, and closed in 2023 after nearly three decades. Since then, the tricky venue has been something of a Goldilocks. Advertisement Some shows have proved too boffo. Others have been too amateurish or niche. While I don't suspect 'Ginger Twinsies' will find much of an audience beyond Disney+ subscriber millennials or curious St. Mark's bar-flies, it's the first tenant there in two years to strike me as just right.
