Kevin Spacey Teases Plans For "Substantial" Comeback
The actor revealed as much while participating in an interview during his attendance of the Italian Global Series Festival (IGSF) in Rimini. He first answered when IGSF Artistic Director Marco Spagnoli asked about the way his legal experiences have changed him.
Here's how Spacey answered via Deadline:
'These experiences have allowed me to stop, assess, reassess and listen, and be very grateful for the work I'm able to do both on screen and off screen.
'I'm filled with gratitude for those in my industry who stood by me, those individuals who were willing to wait for an outcome in the courts before they decided how they felt about me. Those people have my trust, and I will do everything I can to maintain their trust for the rest of my life.'
Spacey continued to share a message for those who chose not to stand by him, and while he doesn't plan to work with them, he does offer them forgiveness:
'For those who rushed to judgment and decided I was guilty, and treated me accordingly, they have my forgiveness, but I am not seeking them out to collaborate.'
Of course, Spacey is still involved with some legal issues, and most recently they involve a UK suit from actor Ruari Cannon. As with his previous lawsuits, however, he is denying the allegations and in general he has been adamant that he did not commit any illegal crimes even if he may have acted inappropriately at times.
As such, we'll have to see how this potential and 'substantial' comeback for Kevin Spacey plays out. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding this situation as we have them. For now, Spacey has been keeping busy with a number of independent movie roles.

Brad Pitt Opens Up On What It Would Take To Work With Tom Cruise Again
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise once lit up the screen together and fans have long hoped for a reunion. While Pitt is open to collaborating with Cruise again, he has one hilarious yet serious condition. In a recent interview, Pitt spilled secrets about their past, praised Cruise's daring spirit, and revealed why he's keeping his feet firmly on the ground. Before they were Hollywood icons with impressive resumes, Pitt and Cruise shared lighter moments off-camera. Recalling their time on "Interview with the Vampire," Pitt told E! News that they 'used to race go-karts together after filming,' describing the memory as 'so sweet.' That nostalgic tone carried over when Pitt acknowledged Cruise's recent praise of his upcoming film, "F1," directed by Joseph Kosinski. 'It was so sweet of [Tom],' he said. Cruise, known for his high-octane roles, notably complimented Pitt's dive into the fast-paced world of Formula 1 racing. Despite their friendship, Pitt didn't shy away from drawing the line when asked if he would team up with Cruise again. 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my -ss off airplanes and sh– like that,' Pitt joked. 'So when he does something again that's on the ground.' That comment, while lighthearted, highlighted the stark difference between the two stars' working styles, especially when it comes to stunts. Cruise, of "Mission: Impossible" fame, has built a reputation for pushing the physical boundaries of his performances. Hanging off a plane mid-flight is just another day at the office for Cruise, but the same can't be said about Pitt. Director Joseph Kosinski, who worked with Cruise on "Top Gun: Maverick," echoed Brad Pitt's sentiments in a GQ interview. Comparing the two actors, he said, 'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled. They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.' Even "F1's" action-vehicle supervisor, Graham Kelly, couldn't hide his nerves. 'We'd have had a crash. Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean really to the limit. That terrifies me,' he said. 'I've done loads of Mission: Impossibles with Tom and it's the most stressful experience for someone like me building cars for him, doing stunts with him.' He added, 'Whereas Brad listens and he knows his abilities, and I think he'd be the first to say, 'Yeah, I'm not going to do that.'' Although Pitt isn't jumping onto planes anytime soon, his upcoming film "F1" still promises jaw-dropping action. Set for a June 27 release, the Apple Original follows Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a has-been Formula 1 racer staging a comeback. The cast includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Damson Idris as the cocky new teammate who challenges Hayes on and off the track. Describing the film, Pitt told E! News, 'It's big, it's huge. The driving is something off the charts, but on top of it, it's really fun. And it's funny and it's kind of moving, I dare say.' As for what it felt like to drive an actual F1 car, Pitt gushed, 'I've tried to describe this feeling of downforce — it is something otherworldly. I've never had this experience anywhere else, not in a rollercoaster, not an aerobatic plane, nothing.' Brad Pitt also waxed philosophical during the "F1" premiere in Mexico, noting how he has learned to move on from his mistakes. During a chat with Entertainment Tonight, the superstar actor shared, "No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on. It'll lead to the next success." Pitt's response came after he was asked about how he managed to stay grounded despite the numerous challenges and achievements in his life. Although Pitt didn't open up about his mistake, he hinted that one of the things that helped him overcome difficult moments was family. He said, "At my age, I see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back." Pitt concluded, "Friends, family, and that's it. From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation."

Brad Pitt Says Tom Cruise Ditched ‘Ford v Ferrari' Over One Shocking Detail
Brad Pitt is finally setting the record straight on why his highly anticipated collaboration with Tom Cruise in "Ford v Ferrari" never happened. The two Hollywood heavyweights were initially set to star in the racing drama, but the project hit a roadblock before it could take off. According to Pitt, things fell apart because the 62-year-old was dissatisfied with his role. The actor shared that Cruise walked away after he found out his character wouldn't be doing much driving, bringing their collaboration to a halt. In a candid interview with The National, Brad Pitt confirmed that he and Cruise had been eyeing the lead roles in "Ford v Ferrari" under director James Mangold, not Joseph Kosinski, well before the film eventually hit the screens in 2019. "Tom and I, for a while there, were on 'Ford v Ferrari' with Joe [to direct]. This was about 10 years before the guys who actually made it — and made it a great movie," he recalled. However, Cruise ditched the movie after he found out his character wouldn't be behind the wheel so much. "What it came down to is that we both wanted to drive, and he wanted to play Shelby, and I wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realized that Carroll Shelby would not be driving much in the movie, it didn't come through," Pitt said. Eventually, the roles of Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles were played by Matt Damon and Christian Bale, respectively. Years after their failed "Ford v Ferrari" collaboration, Pitt opened up about possibly teaming up with Cruise again. Speaking exclusively to E! News in an interview that aired on June 12, Pitt said he would consider working with his "Interview with the Vampire" co-star, but only on one condition. The Grammy Award winner said the project must stay "on the ground" and not involve Cruise's signature death-defying stunts. "Well, I'm not gonna hang my -ss off airplanes and sh– like that," Pitt joked. "So when he does something again that's on the ground," he noted, making it clear that he was ready to reconnect, but with boundaries. Days later, Pitt and Cruise sparked a wave of nostalgia and excitement when they reunited on the red carpet at the London premiere of "F1: The Movie" on June 23. The event marked their first public appearance together in over three decades since they co-starred in the 1994 classic "Interview with the Vampire." Photos shared by Cruise on X showed Pitt looking dapper in a green double-breasted suit, a crisp white shirt, and flashy orange glasses. On the other hand, the film producer opted for a charcoal-gray suit, a gray shirt, and his signature aviator sunglasses. Guests watched as the two icons shared a warm embrace, posed arm in arm, and flashed big smiles for the cameras. "Great night at the movies with my friends!! You guys crushed it," Cruise captioned the pictures. Since the premiere of "F1: The Movie," there have been reports of a sequel in the works. While chatting with The National, Brad Pitt admitted wanting to return in a sequel. "I would want to drive again, selfishly speaking," he said. However, the actor wasn't sure of the possibility, considering his character, Sonny Hayes, left Formula One racing by the end of the story. "F1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce, Damson Idris' character, and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. Where does Sonny fit in? I'm not sure," Pitt said. "Sonny's probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I'm not sure beyond that, just yet." Meanwhile, Brad Pitt continues to enjoy the success of his movie. He told the outlet that he always wanted to make a unique blockbuster and never imagined that "F1: The Movie" would be that film. "I had always wanted to make a populist film, something that just gets better every time you see it. Something that brings people together. And I still didn't understand that this could be that one," he said. According to him, the best thing was seeing how families reacted to even posters. "The greatest pleasure, the thing that puts a smile on my face, is seeing families, from kids to grandparents, big groups of friends all going together and taking photos in front of the poster or the car," Pitt shared.
