Reacher star Alan Ritchson is opening up about some very serious issues he encountered in his career.
In a new interview with THR, the 41-year-old actor spoke out about his early days in the modeling industry.
Keep reading to find out more…
He shared, “There are very few redeeming qualities to working in that industry. Let’s be honest, it’s like legalized sex trafficking. The industry is not regulated, and it’s a widely known secret that if you’re hired on a job, you’re basically being passed off to a photographer to be trafficked. The number of times and situations where I was put in horrific environments where sexual abuse was the goal and the paycheck that you were desperate for in order to survive was the carrot, I can’t count on two hands. It was quite often.”
One gig he learned to love was for department store JCPenney.

Oscar winner Bong Joon-ho’s 2006 monster movie “The Host” is among Paris-based distributor The Jokers Films’ recent releases, made available for the first time ever as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition.
The Jokers’ other new French release, the 4K restoration of Bruce Weber’s 1988 Chet Baker doc “Let’s Get Lost,” also screened at the Lumière Festival in Lyon with Weber in attendance.
Describing the film’s sound and 4K restoration as “sublime,” The Jokers head Manuel Chiche says, “‘Let’s Get Lost’ is now a timeless classic not only about life but also about art and creation.”
“Let’s Get Lost” is due to hit French theaters in summer 2024.
“The Host,” meanwhile, premiered earlier this year in France with a special screening, along with the Oscar-winning “Parasite,” and master class by Bong at Paris’ famed Grand Rex theater and also unspooled at the Institut Lumière in Lyon as part of a Bong retrospective.

There is much that is lovely to gaze upon in the elegantly tailored documentary “Invisible Beauty,” about fashion maverick Bethann Hardison, whose role in her industry, starting in the late ’60s and continuing into the present, has been remarkable personally and game-changing culturally.
Those five decades — hers and the industry’s — are expertly woven together by co-directors Hardison and Frédéric Tcheng, using a cache of personal photos, a wealth of archival images, clips and interviews sewn together by Hardison’s sharing of recollections and insights. The film is also buoyed by a delicate, sometimes moody piano-led score courtesy of Marc Anthony Thompson, with some additionally vivid musical choices that match the energy of the late, “Black is Beautiful” ’60s and the fashion-fast-forward ’70s.
When there were shifts in how the fashion industry viewed models of color, Hardison was there as participant but more often catalyst. She was one...

A series of portraits of Black trans sex workers and the men who lust after them, D. Smith’s Kokomo City plays as a hyper-stylized companion to Zackary Drucker and Kristen Lovell’s recent The Stroll. But where The Stroll elaborates on the relationship between New York City, particularly the Meatpacking District, and trans women’s hustle using rather formulaic storytelling, Kokomo City’s look at trans sex work in Atlanta is more original.
The film’s most significant accomplishment is the mood it crafts with its cool black-and-white images, fast-paced editing, unorthodox camera angles, handheld camera, and overall jazzy atmosphere. But Smith’s investment on surfaces can only sustain the documentary for so long, as the discourse level of its interviewed subjects—a mix of trans sex workers and, to a lesser extent, trans-attracted men—never quite catches up to the euphoria of the visuals.

“Time is all we have and every second that ticks away is one less second we’re alive,” Kenneth Anger told an interviewer from The Guardian 16 and a half years before his death this May at the age of 96. “The sands of time are going through the hourglass but it doesn’t frighten me.”
If Woody Allen’s Zelig was found rubbing elbows with the storied and famous of the ’20s and ’30s, starting in the 1950s Anger was for some decades more than a match for him. His legacy is poised between the pathbreaking cinematic auteur who made such avant-garde shorts as “Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome” (1954) and “Scorpio Rising” (1963) and the purveyor of at times fictionalized Hollywood scandal in the sensational and frequently updated “Hollywood Babylon” (1959).

Bella Dose are a beautiful blend of Latinx cultures that are woven together seamlessly to deliver a melodic sound all their own. Melany Rivera, 23, Brianna Leah, 19, Jennifer (Jenni) Hernandez, 24, and Thais Rodriguez, 23, make up this dynamic bilingual Latin girl group, with roots in Puerto Rico, Colombia, Chile, Cuba, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. The representation Bella Dose brings is intentional. These young women are on a mission to show the world that Latinx representation in music means honoring their cultural roots through the music and lyrics they bring to the world centerstage.
"I'd say this is the year for Latinas. Just all different cultures," says Hernandez, who is Dominicana and from Perth Amboy, NJ. "It feels great to see the world accept all the Latin cultures and all the different types of music that come from being Latino, like bachata, merengue, dembow, and reggaeton.

As a model, Bethann Hardison walked the runway alongside Iman. As an agent, she discovered Tyson Beckford and mentored supermodels like Naomi Campbell. As an activist, Hardison revolutionized the fashion industry. From runway shows in the 1970s to roundtables about the lack of racial diversity in the early 2000s, the former model has seen the pendulum swing toward and away from the Black model.
In “Invisible Beauty,” a documentary directed by Hardison and Frédéric Tcheng, Hardison reflects on her personal journey, her fight for representational shifts in the fashion industry and the cost of being a pioneer. In addition to Hardison’s voice, the doc features interviews with her mentees and collaborators including Campbell, Beckford, Iman, Tracee Ellis Ross, Fran Lebowitz, Pat Cleveland, Stephen Burrows, Whoopi Goldberg, Ralph Lauren and Bruce Weber. The film also gazes toward the future with insights from a new generation Hardison has inspired, including Zendaya,...

One of the most memorable scenes in director Tony Scott's "Top Gun" is the shirtless volleyball game. Set to the upbeat Kenny Loggins song "Playing With the Boys," the sequence is about the simple joys of all-male sportsmanship, complete with slow-motion shots of the pilots' sculpted bodies glistening with sweat, and close-ups of their enthusiastic high-fives and butt slaps. It's a cheesy and homoerotic hallmark in pop culture. Many have mocked its exaggerated 1980s style, but more have defended its inclusion in the film. The camera ogles the young, virile military men with a lustful enthusiasm.
According to USA Today, the studio was not prepared for Scott to burn an entire day filming the scene, which was only a short paragraph in the script. Editor Chris Lebenzon says, "Tony shot it like a commercial, and they were angry." In the "Top Gun" home video release, Scott (who passed away...

It’s 2005, and as a middle schooler, there are few places to feel seen the way you want to be: an attractive young adult, with agency, value, and 40 to spend on a T-shirt.
Enter a more affordable Ralph Lauren meets less Nsfw sexy Calvin Klein mash-up Abercrombie & Fitch, the rebranding of a safari-wearing, gun-slinging empire where Theodore Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway once shopped. Retrofit the brand for 1990s mall culture, and it’s as though America itself is reborn, warts and all.
Selling an aspirational lifestyle for A&f was an understatement — the pulsing club music, dark shuttered windows, shirtless jean-clad male models, and a strong signature cologne packaged the promise of meeting an attainable celebrity crush and walking away with their scent lingering on your skin. Buying something was akin to buying into a new you, but as it turns out, only certain customers were deemed worthy of the brand’s “all-American” message.

Talented Swedish-born documentary director Anna Eborn has an affinity for communities that exist outside space and time, locating people whose lives are spent in areas that don’t conform to common notions of 21st century globalization. In “Pine Ridge,” she turned her camera on Native Americans in a South Dakota reservation; in “Lida” she spent time with an elderly woman in Eastern Ukraine, one of the last speakers of an old Swedish dialect. Now she’s followed a group of teens in Transnistria, a breakaway republic largely unrecognized internationally, sitting between Moldova and Ukraine, which seems determined to maintain a Soviet lifestyle.

Vic, a charismatic 25-year-old Russian-American immigrant cut from the same cloth as a young Rocky Balboa, has a heart of gold and the cheekbones of a Bruce Weber model. In another movie, this affable young man would almost certainly be the romantic lead, saddled with girl trouble or a small-time score of some kind — but not in “Give Me Liberty,” the second feature from Russia-born director Kirill Mikhanovsky (credited here by his last name alone), whose debut, “Sonhos de Peixe,” was a prize winner in Cannes’ Critics Week a dozen year ago.
This warm, fiercely independent comedy-drama eschews anything resembling formula in favor of a boisterous and freewheeling joyride drawn from Mikhanovsky’s own experience as the driver of a wheelchair-accessible transport vehicle. Shortly after moving from Moscow to Milwaukee (and several years before becoming a professional filmmaker), Mikhanovsky was entrusted with one of those enormous, elevator-equipped vans designed to...

The latest season of “Documentary Now!” has Cate Blanchett playing a Marina Abramovic-style performance artist. It has Taran Killam and John Mulaney in a riff on “Original Cast Album: Company.” Owen Wilson pops up in a comedic reworked version of “Wild Wild Country.” There’s not much else to say, really, that would convince on-the-fence viewers that the latest season of IFC’s doc parody series is something to get excited about.
For those who somehow need a little more visual proof, the network revealed the first look at the six episodes that make up this season.
The show-within-a-show is now in its “52nd” season, offering up very specific twists on existing documentary classics. Aside from the aforementioned films getting the “Documentary Now!” treatment, this upcoming batch of episodes also includes a pre-“30 for 30” look at pro bowling, starring Bobby Moynihan, Michael C.

A number of great artists found their start in fashion photography, the glamor and fastidiousness of the industry attracting all sorts of imagistic visionaries. Man Ray, Stanley Kubrick, and Bruce Weber, to name a few, began there while serving as an additional creative outlet for others such as Robert Bresson and Spike Jonze. However, not all fashion photographers aspire to make moving pictures, content with the capability for the still image to, as the cliche goes, tell a thousand words. Bill Cunningham approached the craft differently, finding a modest, philosophically altruistic method to capturing his subjects. “I’m really doing this for myself. I’m stealing people’s shadows, so I don’t feel as guilty when I don’t sell them,” Cunningham attests when asked about his dislike for being paid for his photos. In Mark Bozek’s solid documentary The Times of Bill Cunningham the eponymous photographer provides intimate insight into his background,...

Iconic photographer Bruce Weber, perhaps most famous for his black-and-white shots of shirtless ephebic boys that gave Abercrombie & Fitch its sexy image, explores another type of American masculinity in the documentary Nice Girls Don’t Stay for Breakfast, his long-in-the-works portrait of classic Hollywood’s favorite antihero, Robert Mitchum. Also shot mainly in gorgeously grainy black-and-white, the film consists of interviews with people who knew, worked with or admire Mitchum — including, besides family members, actors such as Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Benicio Del Toro — as well as previously unseen interview and B-roll footage that Weber shot with ...

As has been previously announced, Damien Chazelle will open the festival with the world premiere of “First Man.” The space race drama stars Chazelle’s “La La Land” Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong and recounts the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. The world premiere will be Chazelle’s second Venice opener after “La La Land.” Also confirmed prior to the announcement lineup was Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born,” which marks the actor’s directorial debut.

It’s depressing to realize that a whole lot of non-fiction films in the next few years will be framed in one way or another by Donald Trump’s presidency, whether or not they’re specifically about or exploring politics. Such is the case with “The Gospel According to André,” a movie ostensibly profiling fashion journalism luminary André Leon Talley.
Through his eyes, we’re forced to rewatch the dispiriting build-up to the 2016 election — though, thankfully, Talley remains available (and wildly entertaining) to documentarian Kate Novack (“Eat This New York”) despite promises to the contrary after Trump wins.
In spite (or possibly because) of that context, an especially loving, reflective portrait of an African-American from the Jim Crow-era South who becomes one of the notoriously white fashion world’s great witnesses, “Gospel” chronicles singular creativity and skill gravitating to its perfect field, and one extraordinary man’s evolution into an institution unto himself.

This year’s New York Film Festival has just unveiled a slew of Special Events to round out its already full-to-bursting lineup, and it includes some late-breaking entries to previously announced sections and a selection of brand new events that are very special indeed. Highlights include a trio of documentary premieres, including Susan Lacy’s “Spielberg” (focused on the eponymous director, with both Lacy and her subject set to appear at the festival), along with Jennifer Lebeau’s Bob Dylan concert film “Trouble No More,” and Susan Froemke’s “The Opera House,” a history of the Metropolitan Opera and a love letter to the art form that will (appropriately enough) screen at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.

Sneak Peek new images, plus footage of Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, aka 'Mystique' in the "X-Men" movie series including the upcoming feature "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", in the September 2017 issue of "Vogue", photographed by Annie Leibowitz, Inez, Vinoodh and Bruce Weber:
Rather than exploiting fans at Comic Cons, making them line up for hours, then charging them hundreds of dollars for a single photograph, "I'm happy to meet people, give autographs, shake hands, and say 'Thank you'," said Lawrence.
"I wouldn’t have a job if people weren’t going to see my movies. It’s just . . . if I’m on an airplane and I have no makeup on, I don’t want to take a selfie...
"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable. Fuck that...
"I hate talking about acting because it's so hard to talk about it without sounding like a douche.
