'Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed' zooms in on the star's secret life
At first blush, "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed" seems determined to find every movie phrase uttered by the actor -- famously closeted throughout his career as a leading man -- that could be construed to have a double meaning hinting at who he really was. Yet the HBO documentary ultimately provides a sobering window into that time, zooming in on Hudson's screen roles to coyly illustrate what he was experiencing off it.

On December 1 2020, Kunal B wrote: "A #Superman reboot starring David Corenswet as Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Let it be linked to Matt Reeves Batman franchise (not directly, just in the same universe)." The tweet has resurfaced following the news about Corenswet and Brosnahan and needless to say, people are impressed. "F**king impressive," one person wrote in response. Another added: "Bro seeing into the future." A third person asked him to: "now do James Bond." A fourth said: "You’re definitely a time traveler." No release date has been set for Superman: Legacy but it is scheduled to hit cinemas in the summer of 2025. Have your say in our news democracy.
