Why ben stiller is hated

Which brings us to present day. Today, Zoolander 2 premieres in theaters, and as Kat George, a fellow Blue Steel fanatic, has already pointed out , fans are worried. After all, Zoolander achieved cult status and is incessantly quoted by my generation to this day. Just making a sequel would be an endeavor, but making one 15 years later? My somewhat wavering confidence comes from a single quote from Stiller while he was being interviewed by Jimmy Fallon:. Just so you know, Stiller is discussing the logic behind releasing the movie in I think that Stiller has been returning to his cynical roots and exploring, and the results have been pretty great so far.

At this point, Robin Quivers, Stern's co-host on his radio show, jumped in and explained that Rivers felt as if the Zoolander actor ignored her on the red carpet. Rivers felt offended by Stiller's snub because she was actually close friends with his parents, comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. After being informed of this, Stiller added, "This is helping me, because I didn't understand why she didn't like me.

But she had a thing because she was friends with my parents. Then, in response to the accusation that he'd snubbed Rivers on one of the many occasions she was on the red carpet to interview celebrities, Stiller remarked, "I don't remember that happening but I'm sure it did.

The reality star shared a video panning the crowd on her Instagram story, which showed an ambulance trying to make its way through injured fans. View this post on Instagram. Share Share Tweet Email.

In , Red Hour struck a partnership with Bold Films , a production and financing company which focuses on independent films and "providing an artistic haven for creative talent.

This merger allows more financial stability for Red Hour, and audiences can look forward to future projects spanning film, TV, and digital outlets. Since Bold Films is known for many serious, dramatic films, it will be interesting to see how their style meshes with the comedic repertoire and big-name boost of Red Hour.

But even though Red Hour has a whole slate of frenetic farces in their history, their founder has already been testing other genre waters.

One of Ben Stiller's more recent projects is directing the seven-part Showtime miniseries Escape at Dannemora , a thriller based on the true story of a correctional facility escape in upstate New York in Starring such luminaries as Benicio del Toro and Patricia Arquette, Dannemora follows two convicted murderers who escape with the aid of a prison employee with whom they become romantically embroiled.

A straightforward TV drama full of messy romantic tension seems like an even further stretch than a documentary for Stiller, but the series has been met with acclaim, earning an 89 percent rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The real-life prison employee, Joyce Mitchell, portrayed by Arquette in the series, is far less happy about how she was portrayed , and had harsh words for the director.

Still, a resounding TV hit has got to feel good for Stiller. The announcement came at the end of his trip to Guatemala, where he was able to meet with refugees fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, including unaccompanied children. Considering that there are literally millions of refugees all over the world fleeing from violence or oppression or displaced through natural disaster, being involved with raising awareness of these issues could easily be a full-time job in and of itself.

Even a quick glance at Stiller's Twitter feed proves that he's taking this role very seriously, as his Goodwill Ambassador title is the only title he's chosen to list in his bio — not bothering to mention acting, directing, or producing at all, and focusing the majority of his tweets on refugees and politics that affect them. The long-rumored sequel to the sports comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story appears to officially be in the works. Few details are known at this point, but Stiller, who starred in the original as White Goodman alongside Vince Vaughn's Pete LaFleur, is reportedly attached as a producer.

The entire project seems very much up in the air, but fans have long been hopeful that it will see the light of day with the original cast returning to reprise their roles. Knowing how busy Stiller is with his production company, directing for Showtime, and traveling the world in the name of humanitarian aid and activism, it could be quite some time before the big screen is graced with Dodgeball 2. Until that day comes, there's plenty of Stiller's behind-the-scenes work for fans to enjoy — including the Stiller-produced CW dramedy In the Dark , set to make its debut in April Getty Images.
