Top Hollywood news of the day: December 4, 2017

Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in Star Wars franchise, has said that losing Carrie Fisher is like losing The Beatles star John Lennon. Disney, after backlash, has directed theatres playing Coco to remove the much-disliked Frozen short. Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom has got a new teaser that shows a lot of running, dinosaurs, and a volcano. The trailer will be out on Friday. Natalie Portman has said that she was lured onto a private jet with a Hollywood producer. That, and more in today's Hollywood news.

Mark Hamill, alternatively known as Luke Skywalker or The Joker depending upon whichever character you like more, has compared the death of Carrie Fisher to the loss of The Beatles star John Lennon. “She’s irreplaceable. It’s like every fan was dreaming of the day The Beatles would reunite, and then we lost John [Lennon]. It’s just unbearably sad. Star Wars is about great triumph and great tragedy, and I can’t think of a greater tragedy than missing our Leia.”

Disney has agreed to remove the 20-minute Frozen short after the widespread backlash. While Coco has been a huge hit at the US box office unseating Justice League from the top, moviegoers were left less than impressed by the short based on the film Frozen that played before the film begins. The short is titled Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, and is said to be an advertisement for Frozen’s upcoming sequel. The short has been disliked by most viewers and fans have been angry about it.

Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom makers have released a teaser for the upcoming film that has left the fans excited and yet demanding more. In a nutshell, the clip that mostly involves a lot of running in its 16 seconds, has accomplished what a teaser is supposed to do – make fans pumped up about the film and at the same time not revealing much about the plot. The trailer will debut on Friday.

Natalie Portman has revealed that she was lured onto a private jet alone with a Hollywood producer and “just one bed”. She said, “I was like, yeah, why wouldn’t I accept a flight on a private plane with a big group of people? And I showed up and it was just the two of us and then one bed was made on the plane.”

Harrison Ford’s co-actors Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac have reacted to the death of the fan-favourite character Han Solo. It is clear that characters like Finn and Poe, at least, will not be mourning much. “We’re just keeping it moving, to be honest with you, man. It’s true. The pressure’s on, man. There’s no time. I think that’s one thing unique to me about watching this movie was the commentary on war," says John Boyega.
