One social media user said, “I don’t want to hear it & I feel like I have to unstan Anitta; nothing against Sam’s sexual preferences & stuff, it’s just that Sam’s always all over the place & that hell themed Grammy’s appearance & performance didn’t help. Moreover, even Sam’s Brit’s look didn’t help. & Sam’s music is not it anyway, so whatever.”

Even though Smith and Anitta’s supporters believe their collaboration is not the best choice, others believe it would be fantastic. “I think Sam Smith is perfect for a collaboration with Annita, I hope it works,” one person said.

He made his directorial debut with The Duellists in 1977 and rose to prominence with his following feature, Alien, in 1979. The Alien film was shown in 70 mm at midnight on May 25, 1979, as the opening night of the fourth Seattle International Film Festival.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982)

The 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner was directed by Scott and written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. It is an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. 

The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019 when the powerful Tyrell Corporation has bio-engineered synthetic people known as replicants to work on space colonies. When a crew of sophisticated replicants commanded by Roy Batty (Hauer) flees to Earth, burnt-out detective Rick Deckard (Ford) grudgingly agrees to track them down.

As a consequence of controversial alterations sought by studio management, seven separate versions of Blade Runner exist. Following a positive reaction to test screenings of a workprint, a director’s cut was released in 1992. 

This, combined with the film’s success as a video rental, made it one of the first films to be released on DVD. The Final Cut, a 25th-anniversary digitally restored version, was released by Warner Bros. in 2007; this is the only version over which Scott kept artistic control.

Gladiator (2000)

Gladiator, directed by Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson, is a 2000 epic historical drama film. DreamWorks Pictures distributed it in North America, while Universal Pictures distributed it overseas through United International Pictures.

Maximus is sold into slavery and becomes a gladiator, rising through the ranks of the arena to avenge the killings of his family and the emperor. Gladiator has been critically reevaluated since its first release. 

It is now largely regarded as one of the best films of the 2000s, as well as one of the best historical epics ever filmed. Scott recently stated that work on the sequel, which is set to be published in the United States on November 22, 2024, has begun.

The title of the movie comes from an early conversation between Gail Harris (Getty III’s mother) and Dante ‘Cinquanta’ Agnana (one of Getty III’s abductors).

Exploring Tucker Carlson’s Wife Susan Andrews Net Worth

Tucker Carlson’s wife, Susan Andrews, born into a family of considerable influence, possesses a net worth estimated to be around 4 to 6 million dollars, which reflects her affluent background.

As the heiress of a lineage with substantial assets, she was exposed to a life of privilege and financial security from an early age.

Her father, Reverend George E. Andrews, held prominent positions in prestigious educational institutions, including being the headmaster at St. Patrick’s School in Washington. 

When Susan and Tucker, a well-known television personality, tied the knot, it was not just a union of two individuals but also a merging of substantial financial legacies.

Their combined net worth is a result of entrepreneurial endeavors, real estate investments, and the significant financial foundations laid by Andrews’ family.

Susan’s father’s career path included serving as the chaplain at University Liggett School in Michigan and as the headmaster at St. Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, Florida. 

In 2008, he founded G.E. Andrews & Associates, a company dedicated to serving Episcopal schools in chaplaincy search and placement. 

However, the Andrews family has faced scrutiny, particularly Reverend, who was investigated by an Episcopal diocese in Florida in 2016. The investigation was initiated after allegations surfaced that he failed to report sexual abuse by a teacher during his tenure as headmaster at St. George’s School. 

Despite firing the choirmaster for inappropriate sexual contact with a student, it was found that Reverend, following the advice of a school lawyer, never reported the abuse to authorities. 

While his inaction did not appear to break the law under Rhode Island’s reporting laws, the investigation raised questions about the handling of such serious issues within educational institutions.

Tucker, on the other hand, has a $30 million net worth because of his work as a journalist and news reporter.

Tucker Carlson and Susan Andrews now live in Maine and Florida

Tucker and Susan, following their time living in Alexandria, Virginia, moved to Washington, D.C. The sale of their Washington, D.C. home was for a substantial $3.95 million in July 2020, as recorded in real estate documents. 

Presently, the couple’s real estate portfolio extends to include residences in both Maine and Florida. Reports from reputable sources such as The New York Times and The Sun Journal highlight Carlson’s notable presence in Maine, where he has reportedly constructed a studio near his residence. 

In 2023, the couple made a significant real estate acquisition, purchasing a luxurious $5.5 million home on Gasparilla Island in Boca Grande, Florida, according to Dirt, a real estate news website. 

The couple’s real estate ventures don’t end there, as Dirt also reported that they own an adjacent $2.9 million home.

How did Tucker Carlson and Susan Andrews meet?

Tucker and Susan’s love story began during their time at St. George’s School in Rhode Island, where Andrews’ father served as the headmaster. 

As recounted in a 2000 article in People Magazine, Tucker shared his first impressions, describing Susan as “the cutest 10th grader in America.” Susan, in turn, noted the distinctive qualities that caught her attention, mentioning Tucker’s optimistic demeanor.

Their journey took a more serious turn when, as a senior at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, Tucker sought the permission of Susan’s father to marry her. Following the approval, the pair exchanged vows in 1991, marking the beginning of their married life.

Tucker Carlson and Susan Andrews share four children

Tucker and Susan share four children. Their son, Buckley Carlson, and three daughters, Dorothy Carlson, Lillie Carlson, and Hopie Carlson, form a close-knit family. 

Despite the high-profile nature of his career in the media, the Carlson children have intentionally maintained a low public profile, refraining from commenting on politics or their father’s prominent role at Fox News.

In a 2014 newsletter from Camp Wawenock, a Maine children’s camp that the Carlson kids attended and that the family actively supported, Susan, using the name Susie Andrews Carlson, provided an update on their children’s activities. 

At that time, Lillie was at UVA, Buckley was a junior at St. George’s, Hopie was in 8th grade, and Dorothy was in 5th grade. Following the update, Buckley went on to attend the University of Virginia, as reported by The Washington Post. 

Notably, Tucker was involved in efforts to aid Buckley’s application to Georgetown University, seeking assistance from Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. 

After completing his education, Buckley delved into Republican politics. He served as a communications intern at the White House during the Trump administration in 2017.

Later assumed a role in congressional communications for GOP Representative Jim Banks of Indiana in 2019, according to LegiStorm. As per Politico, he is engaged to Kelsey Kilgore.

In a 2000 interview with People magazine, Andrews shared insights into Tucker’s parenting style, emphasizing his dedication to educating their children about essential aspects of American history. 

Andrews noted that Carlson taught their children about July 4th, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, emphasizing the importance of not taking freedoms for granted.
