    Wendi Mclendon-Covey Rules Out 'Bridesmaid' Sequel Because Kristen Wiig Says No

    Universal Pictures

    One of the cast members explains that the sequel to Paul Feig’s 2011 rom-com is highly unlikely to happen because the lead star Wiig is against the idea.

    Jan 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Wendi Mclendon-Covey has insisted a “Bridesmaids” sequel will never happen.
    The comedian played the role of Rita in Paul Feig’s 2011 rom-com alongside the likes of Kristen Wiig (Annie Walker), Maya Rudolph (Lillian), and Melissa McCarthy (Megan), but she’s admitted it’s highly unlikely a follow-up will be made because lead star Kristen is against the idea.
    “You know, for 10 years we’ve been saying that there will be no sequel. And that’s coming from Kristen’s mouth. So, yeah, there is no sequel,” she insisted during an interview with Us Weekly.
    Despite dashing hopes of a second movie, the “Blended” star revealed where she sees Rita now and how she based her alter ego on the women on the reality show “Real Housewives”.
    “I think maybe one of Rita’s kids knocked up a teacher,” she mused. “And I think she’s divorced and seeing that, you know, ‘Oh, I had it so much better when I was married. I wonder why I was so miserable all the time?’ I kind of patterned her off of any of the Real Housewives of wherever, where there is always something wrong but there’s really nothing wrong. It’s just that she’s bored and needs to get a job.”

      See also…

    “Bridesmaids” saw Kristen’s character ruin her friendship with her best friend Lillian and go through a tumultuous time with her cop lover Rhodes (Chris O’Dowd) and cause chaos as her pal prepared to tie the knot, before restoring peace.
    Last year (20), director Paul insisted a “Bridesmaids” sequel is down to Kristen and admitted it would take a really clever storyline to make another instalment because the character’s situation was resolved by the end of the flick.
    “Everybody thinks they want a Bridesmaids sequel,” he said. “It could be fun, but I always have to say this: Bridesmaids works – you remember all the comedy stuff, that was great, but the reason that movie worked is because it was about Kristen Wiig’s character who was a very confident person before the movie began who has this total crash because her bakery goes out of business and everything falls apart in her life.”
    “So we meet her and she’s a disaster. She’s desperately trying to hang onto this one thing, which is her friendship with Maya Rudolph’s character, and that takes her through the fire.”
    “That’s why all this stuff happens, because she’s just acting out and trying desperately to save things, and by the end she heals herself, as much as you can. That’s what you latch onto in that film.”

    Kristy Swanson Dragged by Fellow Stars for Protesting Trump's Removal From 'Home Alone 2'

    WENN/Adriana M. Barraza/Instar

    Jane Lynch, Rosanna Arquette and Patton Oswalt blast the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ alum for defending the outgoing president amid fans’ petition to have his scene removed from the 1992 Christmas film.

    Jan 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Kristy Swanson has found herself some enemies in fellow actors after voicing out her support for Donald Trump. The actress has been called out on Twitter after protesting the removal of the outgoing president’s scene from “Home Alone 2”.
    “If Cancel Culture is really going to have Donald J. Trump removed from the John Hughes movie ‘Home Alone,’ then in support of MY PRESIDENT, I’d like to have myself officially removed from the John Hughes’ films, ‘Pretty In Pink’ and ‘Ferris Buhler’s Day Off,’ ” she posted on the blue bird app on Friday, January 15.
    Much to her embarrassment, many didn’t seem to have problem with missing out her parts in the above-mentioned works. “I’m sorry. Who are you?” Jane Lynch responded to Swanson’s tweet. Rosanna Arquette sarcastically tweeted, “So would we.”

    Meanwhile, Patton Oswalt blasted the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” vet, “This is weak, Kristy. I was removed from AS GOOD AS IT GETS and BAD SANTA years before Trump even THOUGHT of running for President. That’s how I support MY leader. Why do you hate America?”

    Another Twitter user pointed out, “She had one speech in Ferris (‘I heard from my mother’s sister’s brother…’) Would be a pretty easy re-edit. Not sure why she’s offered up her only residual income, though. & I will not be googling her walk-on in Pretty in Pink. I’m already mad at myself for working this hard.”
    Fans of “Home Alone 2” are petitioning to have Trump’s cameo cut from the movie after he incited riot at the Capitol Hill on January 6. In the 1992 cult Christmas film, the 45th POTUS is featured briefly in a scene where Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister asks Trump for directions while lost in New York.
    “Digitally remove him from Home Alone 2 next,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another tweeted, “Disney should remove Donald Trump from Home Alone 2.” Some others demanded that Trump be replaced with former president Barack Obama or Trump’s successor Joe Biden in the scene.

    Culkin even seemed to support fans’ demand as he replied to a user who posted his version of the scene with Trump being edited as an invisible figure. “Bravo,” the actor wrote.

    In a separate post, the Luke Hobbs of “Fast & Furious” shared, “Appreciate all your early buzz for our NBC comedy @nbcyoungrock about all the crazy shit that’s been my life throughout the years.” He went on saying, “From growing up in the wild (and cutthroat ) world of pro wrestling in the early 80s to being accused of being a high school undercover cop at 15yrs old because I was already 6’4 220lbs with a FULL Magnum PI mustache and driving my own car.”

    “Young Rock” is set to premiere on NBC on February 16. The show will also air on NBC’s streaming service Peacock.

    Russell Crowe Blasts 'Kids These Days' for Roasting His Oscar-Winning Film

    Twentieth Century Fox

    The Australian actor defends ‘Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World’ against a Twitter troll who jokes about the 2003 period war-drama making him fall asleep.

    Jan 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Russell Crowe has clapped back at a critic of his 2003 film “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”. The 56-year-old actor and his critically-acclaimed movie become the subject of mockery on Twitter after a user harshly alluded the film was boring.
    The Twitter user wrote, “Lots of folk complaining about lack of sleep during the Pandemic.” He continued to joke, “May I recommend Master And Commander starring the usually captivating, attention-grabbing Russell Crowe. I’ve never made it past the ten minute mark. You’re welcome. And thanks Russell.”
    After catching wind of it, Crowe responded to the mean-spirited tweet. “That’s the problem with kids these days. No focus,” he wrote while including the original tweet.
    Defending the epic period war-drama, he added, “Peter Weirs film is brilliant. An exacting, detail oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack.” He went on stressing, “Definitely an adults movie.”

    Russell Crowe defended his film ‘Master and Commander’ against a Twitter troll’s harsh criticism.
    “Master and Commander” is set in the Napoleonic Wars. The film’s plot and characters are adapted from three novels in author Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series, which includes 20 completed novels of Jack Aubrey’s naval career.
    The film, which was co-written, produced and directed by Peter Weir, also starred Paul Bettany and was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. It won Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing, though lost in all other categories to “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”.
    Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Crowe was one of the few Hollywood actors who graced big screen in 2020. His action thriller “Unhinged” became the first wide theatrical release in several months after the coronavirus outbreak shut down theater-going. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Crowe’s performance but felt the film did not take full advantage of its premise.

    The Russo Brothers Spill on Tom Holland's Role in Their Decision to Take on 'Cherry'

    WENN/Apple TV+/Sheri Determan

    Speaking about the adaptation of the Nico Walker novel, Joe and Anthony Russo confess that the dark elements of the source material led them to coming close in turning down the chance to direct it.

    Jan 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Filmmaking brothers Joe and Anthony Russo were ready to turn down the chance to direct “Cherry (2021)” before realising “Avengers” star Tom Holland would be the crime drama’s perfect leading man.
    The siblings were initially unsure about how to approach the adaptation of the Nico Walker novel of the same name, about an army medic who resorts to robbing banks after struggling with a substance abuse problem upon returning home, because the source material was so “dark”.
    Speaking to Variety, Anthony said, “I don’t even know that Joe and I wanted to commit to doing the movie at all until we thought of Tom in the role. The book is dark, very complicated, and that’s what its value is.”
    “We wanted to make this movie because it speaks to very relevant and current issues dealing with opioid addiction that has to do with the military experience, the modern military experience. It was a very original take on those experiences, specific to the modern generation.”

      See also…

    “We wanted to do a version of the movie that was palatable, not like taking your medicine.”
    It was only when the Russo Brothers began considering how Tom’s involvement would transform the movie that they started to understand how they would tackle the adaptation.
    “Tom is so likeable. He’s such an appealing actor, and so good,” Anthony gushed. “Once we started thinking about him as a character, the whole movie opened up for us as a possibility because he was our road to an accessible, exciting, enjoyable version of a difficult film.”
    “Cherry” will open in theatres in late February (21), before premiering on Apple TV+ in March.
