LOS ANGELES, July 5 (Reuters) - When actress Stephanie Hsu realized there were no limits to how outrageous she could be in the film "Joy Ride," she was confident it was going to be a "good time." "Joy Ride" follows childhood friends Audrey and Lolo, who are joined by Lolo's cousin Deadeye and Audrey's former college roommate Kat as they embark on a wild journey to China to find Audrey's birth mother. It features an all-Asian main cast with queer and non-binary actors that introduce multi-faceted characters who reach beyond racial or gender stereotypes. We definitely throw the patriarchy around in a way that is awesome," said Wu, who is non-binary.

REUTERS/Lauren JusticeLOS ANGELES, April 3 (Reuters) - Actor Ben Affleck is hopeful for basketball legend Michael Jordan’s seal of approval after directing the biographical sports film, "Air," which is based on Jordan’s historic deal with the Nike (NKE.N) shoe brand. Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight and “The Woman King” actor Viola Davis portrays Jordan’s mother, Deloris Jordan. There was one key role that Affleck and Damon decided not to fill, and it was Michael Jordan’s. “The second you put the camera on an actor and say ‘Hey, it’s Michael Jordan’ and it’s not Michael Jordan, you’re going to lose the audience, so we knew. Michael’s just too famous and means too much to people to try to have someone else play him in a movie,” Damon said.
