'Clifford the Big Red Dog' Movie Debuts First Look Teaser!

A live-action version of the classic story Clifford the Big Red Dog is heading to theaters next year and a first look was just released!

In the cute new video that was debuted online by Paramount Pictures, we see Clifford as a big red puppy, towering over a few other dogs.

We have some cool photos from set last year, which show the fake dog that was used while shooting. CGI will likely be replacing it in the film.

Here’s a synopsis: When middle-schooler Emily Elizabeth (Darby Camp) meets a magical animal rescuer (John Cleese) who gifts her a little, red puppy, she never anticipated waking up to find a giant ten-foot hound in her small New York City apartment. While her single mom (Sienna Guillory) is away for business, Emily and her fun but impulsive uncle Casey (Jack Whitehall) set out on an adventure that will keep you on the edge-of-your-seat as our heroes take a bite out of the Big Apple.

The upcoming movie, also starring Tony Hale, will hit theaters on November 5, 2021.

Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness Calls Out John Cleese as Transphobic

If you missed it, over the weekend, Monty Python star and Harry Potter actor John Cleese made several controversial statements that are being called out as transphobic after he defended JK Rowling, who has also made transphobic statements.

Now, Queer Eye‘s Jonathan Van Ness is publicly calling out Cleese as well.

“Dear @JohnCleese you’ve made several transphobic comments here. You do seem to not only be interested in trans folks, but also adding to transphobia at a time when trans people are being murdered world wide. Trans & non binary people aren’t being treated kindly,” Jonathan posted in a series of tweets at the actor.

He then added, “Instead of worrying about American democracy worry about the transphobia gripping the UK. Worry about the staggering inequality your country faces & keep LGBTQ issues out of your chapped ass lip having mouth unless you due to some miracle become an ally.”

John Cleese Supports J.K. Rowling, Is Called Out for Transphobic Tweets

Famed actor John Cleese, who appeared in the first two Harry Potter movies as Nearly Headless Nick, among many other films over the years, is being called out for transphobic tweets.

It started with a tweet back in September where he supported JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, who has made transphobic statements in the past.

Now, John has made some insensitive statements and is being called out for transphobic language on Twitter.

“Deep down, I want to be a Cambodian police woman. Is that allowed, or am I being unrealistic?” John said in one tweet when asked why he cannot “just let people be who they want to be.” John also admitted that he’s “not that interested in trans folks.”
