    Zendaya Thanks 'Malcolm and Marie' Crew for Their Hard Work Ahead of Movie Release

    Instagram

    The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ star is ‘eternally grateful’ to the crew members involved in making her new feature film which is also produced by the actress.

    Feb 7, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Zendaya will be “eternally grateful” for the crew involved in making her new movie “Malcolm & Marie”.
    The actress took to Twitter to share her gratitude for those involved in creating the film during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, ahead of the movie’s release.
    “Full of excitement and nervousness as this lil movie we made in lockdown with people I love is coming out in the next hour,” she began. “Nervousness for a few reasons. Normally I’m pretty self-critical and that leads me to be far too fearful to make things myself or trust myself enough to even try.”
    “This is really my first time believing that maybe I could. This is my first time being a leading lady, but also my first time being this creatively involved in something, producing something, co-financing something, owning something and sharing it all with my crew.”

    Zendaya, who stars opposite John David Washington in the film, continued, “We made this as a family, shot it in 14 days with a 22 person crew I am eternally grateful for. For their talent, their time, their hard work, and their willingness to believe in this film. If there’s anything to learn from this year, and I hope from our little movie it’s gratitude for every moment and every person we get to love.”
    She concluded, “All that being said, on behalf of our little crew of 22, we hope you laugh (please laugh lol) and cry and hopefully enjoy this little thing we made with a whole lot of love. Love Maree (I spell mine with two E’s).”
    Zendaya’s tweet came after she opened up about the huge differences between filming the Netflix movie and her upcoming role in the third Spider-Man movie.
    Speaking about the differences between the two sets, she told Yahoo! Entertainment, “It is very different. On this film, everybody’s doing seven different jobs. (Spider-Man) is a very different kind of experience in the sense that there’s a lot going on, but they still manage to keep it safe. I’m grateful to be back at work.”

    Gerard Butler Believes COVID-19 Pandemic Will Put 'Greenland' in a Different Light

    Instagram

    In the Ric Roman Waugh-directed disaster movie, the ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ star plays John Garrity whose family is fighting for their survival as Earth faces destruction from an approaching comet.

    Feb 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Gerard Butler is confident the coronavirus pandemic will give viewers a “deeper understanding” of his new movie “Greenland”.
    The 51-year-old actor plays John Garrity in the disaster flick which tells the story of a family fighting for survival as Earth faces destruction from an approaching comet and thinks that audiences will see the movie in a different light amid the global health crisis.
    Gerard said, “I feel now that people watch the movie with a way deeper understanding of what really happens when something is really out of our control. How does it affect them individually and how does it affect society?”
    “This isn’t just all about special effects that, at the end of the day, are kind of fun but meaningless. It actually goes pretty deep into the psyche of a family and a population at large for good, bad and indifferent and how something like this would play out.”

    The “Olympus Has Fallen” star admits that movie felt “more far-fetched” during production but added that it would be “timely” regardless as the world faces other problems.
    In an interview with Australian newspaper the Herald Sun, he said, “If you took away the pandemic, we still have a world full of fires and hurricanes and tsunamis – it was still something that felt very timely and symbolic of where we are and what we stand to lose and what ultimately do we mean to each other as people.”
    Gerard revealed he was keen to play John because of the character’s ordinariness. He explained, “It was almost like this script manifested itself because that’s what it felt like.”
    “To play a very relatable human being – someone who is not perfect. He’s flawed – he’s kind of trying his best but he’s made a lot of mistakes but when a situation like this arises, with such extreme danger, then you really see what he is made of.”

It’s not hard for people to imagine what it was like – and they’re seeing this treatment of gay people and they’re just shocked. Of course you’d be shocked. How is this happening?”

    Jane Seymour Recalls Getting Mugged After Arriving in America to Shoot Bond Movie

    Instagram

    When speaking to Susannah Constantine on the ‘My Wardrobe Malfunction’ podcast, the ‘Live and Let Die’ actress also shares the story when she almost got arrested by immigration officials.

    Feb 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jane Seymour was mugged on the street and almost got arrested when she was shooting James Bond film “Live and Let Die” in America.
    The actress played Bond girl Solitaire in the 1973 movie, alongside the late Sir Roger Moore, and she reveals there was plenty of drama away from the cameras during the shoot.
    She recalls being approached by thugs days after she arrived to shoot scenes for the action blockbuster.
    “I went to New Orleans to do the James Bond film when I was 20 or 21, and I was mugged actually,” she tells Susannah Constantine on the “My Wardrobe Malfunction” podcast. “I was mugged at four o’clock in the afternoon on Bourbon Street.”

    Jane, who moved to California in 1976, also had a run-in with immigration when she flew from Atlanta to Jamaica to film on location after telling officials she thought it was “stupid” that she didn’t have the right visa.
    Fortunately for Jane, when she explained that she was on her way to film a Bond movie and unpacked some of her costumes, customs bosses let her off with a warning.
    “When I tried to go to Jamaica they stopped me in Atlanta and told me I didn’t have the right visa for America, for transit, but I did have a visa that would allow me to go out and work, so I stupidly said, ‘That’s stupid’, and almost got arrested.”
    “They pulled me to a special room and interrogated me and I remember, in tears, saying, ‘But if you like James Bond you better let me get on an airplane, I’m in the James Bond film and if you don’t let me get on the airplane there won’t be a movie’, and they said, ‘OK well just this once, but don’t do it again’.”

    'Spider-Man 3': Tom Holland Claims in the Blind on Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Involvement

    Columbia Pictures

    Despite his known reputation for dropping spoilers, the ‘Cherry’ star manages to keep tight-lipped when asked about rumors of previous Spider-Man depicters returning in his upcoming movie.

    Feb 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Tom Holland has been faced with the most-asked question surrounding the upcoming Spider-Man movie. The “Avengers: Endgame” actor addressed the long-running speculation about Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Kirsten Dunst’s possible involvement in the “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel in an interview for Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast.
    Having been known for his reputation to drop spoilers of his films, the Brit managed to keep his lips shut this time. “Beats me, I don’t know. If they are, they haven’t told me yet…,” he joked. “That would be something that Marvel would do. I watch the film and be like ‘So that’s who that tennis ball was!’ ”
    He added, “I’ve never met Kirsten Dunst. I met Andrew once, I met him at the BAFTAs. He was lovely. He was a really nice bloke and we had a nice chat.” He went on sharing, “It was quite soon after ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ had come out. He was really positive and nice. I’ve bumped into Tobey a few times at different parties in L.A. He was really nice. They seem to be lovely, really nice people. I hope they enjoy our movies. I hope they enjoy our Spider-Man’s.”

    Holland has been filming the untitled third Spider-Man film, with Zendaya Coleman, Jacob Batalon and Marisa Tomei returning. Jon Watts is also back at the helm.
    The movie will reportedly feature alternate universe storyline, which will allow the return of Maguire’s and Garfield’s Spider-Men. Benedict Cumberbatch, Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina are additionally said to star in it.
    Zendaya was previously asked about the rumored crossover when appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in December. “Everything is very secretive,” the 24-year-old told host Jimmy Kimmel. “I can neither confirm nor deny.”
    When asked if she celebrated Thanksgiving “with Spider-Men,” she responded, “Yeah – I can’t say that,” before admitting that the host almost got her, “You almost… that was good. That was good.” Jimmy explained his curiosity, “Because I was wondering what you guys had. Because I know Tobey Maguire is a vegan,” to which the MJ depicter claimed, “I have no idea… I really don’t.”

    Jennifer Lawrence in Recovery Following Accident on Set of 'Don't Look Up'

    Netflix

    The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly cut near her eye when a ‘controlled glass explosion’ goes awry during the filming of the Netflix sci-fi movie with her co-star Timothee Chalamet.

    Feb 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lawrence is nursing an injury after she was involved in an accident on the set of her new movie “Don’t Look Up”. The actress was filming the Netflix sci-fi film on early Friday morning, February 5 in Boston with her co-star Timothee Chalamet when a planned explosion went awry.
    According to the Boston Globe, the Oscar-winning actress was shooting the final scene at around 1:30 A.M. local time. The scene features special effects which were executed by way of using a “controlled glass explosion,” but it went haywire.
    Prior to the explosion, Lawrence and Chalamet were seen filming a scene in which they spray-painted a window of the local Enterprise Building. An Enterprise photographer, who witnessed the accident, details the scene, which sees the two stars being caught in the act, resulting in police being called and quickly arriving in SUVs decorated as New York Police Department cruisers.
    TMZ, which obtained photo of Lawrence with Chalamet possibly taken before the set accident, reports that the Mystique of the “X-Men” film series was inside a restaurant during the explosion, but a trash can crashed through a window, sending fragments flying. A shard of glass cut her eyelid and it would not stop bleeding.

    Lawrence allegedly fell to the ground on Main Street and was tended to by Chalamet and several other members of the crew. She reportedly was holding her face when medics arrived.
    The extent of her injury is unclear, but a source says “it wasn’t that bad.” Her rep has not released a statement and a spokesperson for Netflix has not responded to a request for comment on the set accident, but it’s reported that filming was shut down for the day following the incident. The production was initially expected to last until about 3 A.M. Friday and also continue Friday night and early Saturday morning. It’s currently unknown when filming will resume.
    “Don’t Look Up” is directed by Adam McKay, with Leonardo DiCaprio starring in another lead role opposite Lawrence. The political satire disaster film centers on two low-level astronomers (Lawrence and DiCaprio) who discover that a meteor will hit Earth in six months. They will embark on an unsuccessful media tour in an attempt to warn the world of the impending danger that may destroy mankind.
    The film’s star-studded cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Himesh Patel, Kid Cudi, Matthew Perry, Ariana Grande and Chris Evans.
