Orlando Bloom dropped out of his recent movie at the last minute ... and the cast and crew who feel screwed over are especially pissed ... because without his star power to match Priyanka Chopra's ... the project might be toast.

Here's the deal ... Orlando was all set to star in and co-produce the upcoming indie survival thriller flick "Reset" alongside Priyanka -- and we hear he was onboard all through pre-production ... but peaced out just as cameras were about to roll.

Sources on "Reset" tell TMZ ... they feel it's a pretty f-d up situation ... Orlando is a bankable star, so the independent project got financed with him and Priyanka attached -- and it would've been way easier to secure an international distributor with him in the fold.

Are Jason Statham's looks over the years transporting some major eye-candy?!

Here is a 35-year-old version of the Hollywood hunk at "The Transporter" World Premiere back in 2002 (left). Playing Frank Martin propelled Jason to international stardom and secured him future roles like "The Italian Job" and "Crank" (left).

And, more than two decades later, this zaddy can still GET IT -- the hot dad of two spruced up for the premiere of his latest movie "Mutiny" 🔥 (right).

We know his baby mama, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is down for some Statham, but the question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Actor Michael Wright, best known for his roles in "Sugar Hill" and "The Five Heartbeats," has died in California, according to his family.

His family issued a statement to TMZ ... saying that Wright died Wednesday in Los Angeles after he suffered heart failure coupled with complications of a rare degenerative neurological disease called Marchiafava-Bignami.

Born in NYC in 1956, Wright spent his life devoted to acting, with breakthrough roles in the 1979 movie, "The Wanderers," and the 1983 Robert Altman film, "Streamers." Wright also played Victor Duncan in the 1987 comedy flick, "The Principal," with Jim Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr.

Chris Hansen was turned away from a screening of the new movie that's all about him ... and while he says he didn't want to "sign away" his rights, he actually refused to sign a standard NDA.

Here's the deal ... the TV host went on Fox News to complain about getting turned away from a private screening of "Primetime" -- the new movie starring Robert Pattinson as him -- claiming he showed up ready to watch the flick ... only to be asked to sign a "very restrictive agreement."

Chris says, "The lawyers at A24 wanted me to sign away my rights to my name, image, and brand, essentially, as well as any potential legal rights that would come out of the movie. I couldn't sign that, so they didn't show me the film. I went all the way over there."

However, a studio source tells TMZ ... Chris' version of events are BS -- because he was simply given the standard NDA that everyone else was asked to sign to avoid spoilers. At no time was he asked to sign away his name, image or brand. And since he didn't want to play ball ... he didn't get to watch. Simple as that.

Hopefully, Margaret Qualley didn't put her foot in her mouth at "The Dog Stars" movie premiere ... but if she did, at least no clunky shoe would be in the way.

The actress showed up to the premiere of her new flick in London on Thursday wearing a gorgeous black dress and some controversial footwear ... a pair of Chanel shoes with no soles.

Margaret's shoes are very minimalist ... just a couple of block heels and some ankle straps.

Good thing Margaret had a fresh pedicure!!!

Will Forte is giving "Coyote vs. Acme" fans their flowers ... saying their refusal to let the movie die is the reason it's finally hitting theaters.

We got Will in New York City on Wednesday, and he told us he's pumped for people to finally see the film when it drops August 28 -- especially after he had pretty much given up on it ever seeing the light of day.

Will plays Wile E. Coyote's lawyer in the flick ... helping the Looney Tunes legend sue Acme over all those faulty contraptions that have blown up in his face over the years -- and John Cena plays the head of Acme's legal team.

How many actors can you name in this cast photo?

Let's start with the front row --

• The fella with the red sweater wrapped around his neck is an "UnREAL" Australian actor
• "The Other Woman" is donning the strapless dress
• Taking the wheel is an iconic wedding crasher

As for the back row --

• The blondie is scary and Cindy
• "Survival of the Thickest" is one of this comedian's best-known works

American actor Josh Flitter was just a preteen when he played Corky -- Nancy's bestie who has a big ole' crush on her -- in the 2007 family/thriller film "Nancy Drew."

Flitter hit the big screen with stars like Emma Roberts, Max Thieriot and Tate Donovan.

Former actor Dillon Freasier was only 10 years old when he was cast to play H.W. Plainview, aka Little H.W., in the 2007 western/drama film "There Will Be Blood."

Dillon hit the big screen with fellow actors Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano.

The Fab Four are back on Abbey Road ... well, sort of.

Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan were spotted recreating The Beatles' legendary Abbey Road album cover, giving fans a first look at the actors stepping into the shoes of the iconic band.

Dickinson is portraying John Lennon, Mescal is playing Paul McCartney, Quinn is George Harrison and Keoghan is Ringo Starr in the highly anticipated Beatles film project.

American actress Maxine Bahns was in her mid 20s when she played Hope -- the graduate student working at bar who marries a NYC taxi driver -- in the 1996 rom-com film "She's the One."

Maxine hit the big screen with Ed Burns, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston and Michael McGlone.

Demi Lovato hit the premiere of Disney's "Camp Rock 3" with The Jonas Brothers ... and posed for photos with her ex, Joe Jonas.

Demi and Joe, who reportedly briefly dated in 2010, were joined by costars Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, and Sherry Cola.

As you may know, Demi is an executive producer on the film and has a cameo, playing the role of Mitchie Torres once again.

American actress Diane Franklin was in her 20s when she rose to stardom as a cult movie legend back in the 1980s.

Her popular works include "The Last American Virgin," "Amityville II: The Possession," "Better Off Dead," "TerrorVision," and "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure."

Are Meagan Good's looks over the years "Good" or great?!

Here is a 19-year-old version of the American actress and model showin' her midriff at a Warner Bros. event back in 2001 (left).

And, more than two decades later, Meagan's still rockin' it, with her toned tummy on display at an event (right).

We know her man Jonathan Majors is majorly into the Good-Good, but the question here is:

Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Orlando Bloom wanted a little more than a sea view on his Mallorca getaway ... breaking out the binoculars while cruising the Mediterranean with Woody Harrelson.

The Hollywood pals were spotted aboard a luxury yacht off the Spanish island Friday ... stripping down to their swim trunks and soaking up plenty of sunshine.

But Orlando apparently spotted something that deserved a closer look -- because he put the binoculars to work, scanning the distance from the deck while Woody hung nearby.

Jonathan Majors' new controversial movie about Islamic terrorists taking over a pro-Palestinian encampment on a college campus just dropped a trailer -- and it's freaking bananas!

Watch for yourself ... because the trailer for "Run Hide Fight: Infidels" is so over-the-top with what could be perceived as stereotypes, xenophobia, and Islamophobia -- mixed with plenty of action -- it's stunning.

The film from Ben Shapiro's "Daily Wire" is supposed to be Jonathan's big comeback vehicle after he was ousted from Hollywood following his criminal conviction -- but this could be a tough sell.
