    “We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors. @bravotv, @evolutionusa and our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts. Thank you to all the fans who have shared our journey with us and supported us through everything. We love you. Stay tuned,” the pregnant reality TV star concluded.
    Fans supported the couple’s decision. “So so proud of you two and everything you’ve accomplished. You’ve both come so far both personally and professionals.

    The couple’s exit arrived six months after Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired from the show over racism against Faith Stowers. Faith previously also called for Jax’s firing, claiming that he “said very, very mean things to new cast members. He did not receive me and Lala Kent very well when we first started.”
    “He said very mean things to us as well, later on apologizing. But it seems like he continues to get away with everything he does and I’m not sure why, especially at his age. It’s not like he’s doing this as a young adult, as a kid and just making these little mistakes young people sometimes do,” she continued.

    Cynthia Erivo to Bring Story of Forgotten African Princess to Life in New Biopic

    Instagram

    In addition to her staring role, the ‘Harriet’ star will produce the biopic about Omoba Aina, an orphaned Egbado princess of the Yoruba people who was enslaved and gifted to Queen Victoria.

    Dec 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Cynthia Erivo is stepping back in history to portray a real-life African princess who was enslaved and gifted to Queen Victoria.
    The “Harriet” star will also produce the movie based on the life of Omoba Aina, an orphaned Egbado princess of the Yoruba people who was taken as a slave by a West African ruler, and given to the English monarch in 1850, when she was renamed Sarah Forbes Bonetta.
    Erivo will develop the BBC Film project alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, who has signed on as an executive producer. Erivo will produce the film via her production company Edith’s Daughter with Solome Williams, SunnyMarch’s Leah Clarke and Adam Ackland, and Rienkje Attoh from So & So Productions.

    The as-yet-untitled biopic will draw details from Walter Dean Myers biography, “At Her Majesty’s Request”.
    In a statement, Erivo shared, “I am excited to embark on this journey. It has taken a long time to get to a point where we can even begin to realise this dream.”
    “As a Nigerian British woman, to get the opportunity to tell the story of another Nigerian British woman who until now has been erased from the history books, is an honour. Miss Sarah Forbes Bonetta, Omoba Aina, is truly a passion of mine and I’m so pleased to have been able to find partners in the incredible women, (co-producers) Leah Clarke and Rienkje Attoh, to tell the story and finally give her a voice. I cannot wait to dive into her story. She is indeed the forgotten princess, forgotten no more.”

    Sony Fuels Speculation of 'Spider-Man 3' Crossover With Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield

    Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures

    A video posted by Sony Channel Latin America teases the appearance of ‘the three Peter Parker saving the world together’ in the ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ sequel starring Tom Holland.

    Dec 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The chance for a Spider-Man crossover with three Peter Parkers in upcoming “Spider-Man 3” looks brighter than ever now. After months of unconfirmed rumors, Sony itself has seemingly hinted at Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s return as the web-slinger in the Tom Holland-starring movie.
    A video posted on Sony Channel Latin America’s official YouTube channel has fueled this speculation as it asks fans, “Who is your favorite Spider-Man?” The good news is, according to the video, “You don’t have to choose – in the Marvel Multiverse, anything can happen.”
    The video, labeled “news,” goes on to say that “in ‘Spider-Man 3’ you will quite possibly see everyone – yes – the three Peter Parker saving the world together.” It teases that it will share more info on the forthcoming Marvel film “very soon” via Sony Latin America’s news section.

    The rumors about Maguire and Garfield’s possible appearance in “Spider-Man 3” first spread in October. According to FandomWire, “Sony and Marvel are still finalizing a version of the script that features all three Spider-Men tackling many of their villains from the past, as well as new ones.”
    As for the “villains from the past” that were mentioned in the supposed spoiler, they reportedly include Jamie Foxx’s Electro as well as Venom (Tom Hardy), Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Green Goblin. We Got This Covered additionally reported that Kraven the Hunter and Scorpion would be added to the mix.
    Responding to this speculation, a representative for the studio told ET Canada later in the same month, “Those rumored castings are not confirmed.” The statement, however, didn’t sound like a straight denial.
    Foxx, who previously appeared to accidentally confirm his return as Electro before retracting it, has also addressed the rumors of his “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” character’s appearance in “Spider-Man 3”. “I don’t know,” he told ComicBook.com, before coyly adding, “Anything is possible.”

    'Dune' and 'Matrix 4' Among 2021 Movies WarnerMedia Will Stream on HBO Max

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The studio chiefs call the move to release their entire slate of 2021 movies via the streaming platform instead of film theaters ‘a strategic response to the impact of the ongoing global pandemic’.

    Dec 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – WarnerMedia bosses are to release their entire slate of 2021 movies to streaming platform HBO Max as they hit cinemas.
    The film chiefs will be launching the much anticipated “Wonder Woman” sequel on the service on Christmas Day (December 25), but they are not waiting to see if the blockbuster finds success in the home video market and have decided all upcoming releases will spend their first month on HBO Max, which launched earlier this year.
    That means film fans who subscribe to the service will be able to watch Denzel Washington’s new film “Little Things”, “Tom & Jerry”, “Godzilla vs. Kong”, “Mortal Kombat”, “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”, “In The Heights”, “Space Jam: A New Legacy”, “The Suicide Squad”, “Dune”, “The Many Saints of Newark”, and “The Matrix 4” from the comfort of their sofa.

    “The hybrid model was created as a strategic response to the impact of the ongoing global pandemic,” a studio statement reads. “Movie theaters aren’t apt to be entirely happy with this and it will be interesting to see what they charge for admission to the Warner Bros’ movies.”
    “After considering all available options and the projected state of moviegoing throughout 2021, we came to the conclusion that this was the best way for WarnerMedia’s motion picture business to navigate the next 12 months,” WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar added. “More importantly, we are planning to bring consumers 17 remarkable movies throughout the year, giving them the choice and the power to decide how they want to enjoy these films. Our content is extremely valuable, unless it’s sitting on a shelf not being seen by anyone. We believe this approach serves our fans, supports exhibitors and filmmakers, and enhances the HBO Max experience, creating value for all.”
