Tyrese Gibson Hilariously Thought Martin Scorsese Actually Called MORBIUS "The Height of Cinema"
There was a fake quote from legendary director Martin Scorsese going around on April Fools Day praising Sony’s Morbius, saying that the movie was the “height of cinema.” A lot of people got a good laugh at it because of how terrible a film Morbius actually ended up being. But, there was one person who thought the quote was legit, and that was Morbus actor Tyrese Gibson!
Scorsese’s fake quote reads: "I was aghast to find out it was based on a comic book. This is the truest height of cinema and even I cannot top it. A wise man admits when he is wrong and I was wrong, I apologize to all comic book movies."
That fake quote was accompanied by a fake photo of Scorsese at a Morbius screening. Gibson shared the quote on social media and this is the comment he made:
"Wow wow wow I can't believe what just happened whoa……. Cheers and hats off to you [director Daniel Espinosa] this is so amazing King! This is the KING of KINGS of cinema Martin Scorsese this is huge……."
This had me busting up laughing. What makes it even funnier is the fact that Gibson actually thinks that Morbius is a good movie. Sony royally screwed up on this one. If you want to read my thoughts on the movie, you can check that out here.
