    Jeremy Kyle Declared 'Interested Party' Following His Show Guest's Suspected Suicide

    ITV

    A coroner has ruled the former ‘Jeremy Kyle Show’ host’s actions may have ’caused or contributed’ to his guest Steve Dymond’s tragic passing during inquest into his death.

    Nov 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – British broadcaster Jeremy Kyle has been declared an “interested party” at an inquest into the suspected suicide of a guest on his show.
    Construction worker Steve Dymond said the presenter got “in his face,” jeered him, and called him a failure after he failed a lie detector test on the since-axed “The Jeremy Kyle Show”, and a coroner has ruled the presenter’s actions may have “caused or contributed” to his death.
    Following the appearance, Dymond collapsed in tears afterwards, slumped to his hands and knees fearing he was going to pass out, tried to flee the studio to escape the audiences’ boos, and said he wished he was dead.
    In a 15-minute phone call to his brother on the way home, Dymond said he wanted to leap out of the taxi or take a morphine overdose and, seven days later, the 63-year-old was found dead from a morphine overdose in his rented home in Portsmouth, England.
    At a pre-inquest hearing in Winchester, Hants, coroner Jason Pegg declared Kyle an “interested party” because evidence suggested his actions “may have caused or contributed to the death.”

    The inquest has heard previously Dymond went on the show despite a doctor ruling he had a “concrete plan” to kill himself and Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC, who is representing the late man’s family, has claimed the show failed to adequately safeguard him.
    “Mr Dymond was extremely distressed by his experience at The Jeremy Kyle Show, a programme which has been described by a judge when sentencing a former contestant as ‘human bear-baiting,’ ” she insisted, reported Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper
    “Following his death the show was axed and widespread concerns were raised regarding the format of the show, its selection and treatment of participants, and aftercare.”
    The family now wants the coroner to conduct a jury inquest to examine in detail Steve’s care in the seven-week period leading up to his death.
    “The Jeremy Kyle Show” first aired on U.K. network ITV in July 2005 and has long been controversial as well as popular, as guests were invited to thrash out conflicts and relationship problems in front of a studio audience. Critics have claimed producers exploit the vulnerable and their personal problems for entertainment.

    Kristen Stewart: Growing Up Would Have Been Easier If There Were Gay Christmas Rom-Coms

    WENN

    The former ‘Twilight’s Saga’ actress wishes she had been able to watch a gay family holiday movie when she was a teenager so growing up would be much easier.

    Nov 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kristen Stewart wishes she’d been able to watch a gay Christmas rom-com like her new movie “Happiest Season” as a teenager.
    The 30-year-old actress stars alongside Mackenzie Davis in the new film, which follows a young woman who wants to propose to her girlfriend at a family holiday party – only to discover her partner hasn’t come out to her conservative mum and dad.
    Kristen, who has been in a string of same-sex relationships since splitting from her “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson in 2013, says that growing up would have been much easier if more big, family-friendly films addressed LGBTQ+ relationships.

    “I didn’t grow up with a movie that had such expansive ambition, that had two female leads at the centre of a love story, and not in this format,” she tells British newspaper The Guardian. “Not to say there hasn’t been great queer content made over the years that has been really beautiful, and really important touchstones. But at the same time, it’s not something that I grew up with, and I would have loved to. So it feels good to be a part of it.”
    The movie is directed by actress and filmmaker Clea DuVall, who identifies as a lesbian, and Kristen sees “Happiest Season” as a real sign of progress for LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood.
    “I think it’s just evidence of progress and desire,” she adds. “You know, it’s one foot in front of the other. It’s pretty obvious to anyone that’s ever engaged with this thought process that the answer would be: because we’re choking for it, obviously, and so there needs to be more.”
    “Happiest Season” is available to buy and rent from 26 November.

    Channing Tatum and '21 Jump Street' Directors Reteam for Universal's Monster Movie

    WENN

    The ‘Magic Mike’ actor is reuniting with filmmaker duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller for Universal’s long-gestating big screen project, the classic Monsters movie reboot.

    Nov 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Channing Tatum is reuniting with his “21 Jump Street” directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller to star in a Universal Classic Monsters movie reboot.
    It’s not known which of the Universal Pictures’ characters the film will focus on, but it’s described as “a modern-day, tongue-in-cheek thriller,” according to Deadline sources.
    The Untitled Monster Project will be based on an original idea by Tatum’s filmmaking partner Reid Carolin, a producer on the Magic Mike franchise, and will be developed into a script by Wes Tooke.
    Universal Classic Monsters is the name given to the group of horror and sci-fi films produced by Universal Pictures officials in the early-to-mid 20th Century, with beloved characters including Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, and The Invisible Man, which was recently remade with Elisabeth Moss and Aldis Hodge.

    A Dracula remake by Universal was released in 2014. Titled “Dracula Untold”, it chronicled an origin story of the titular character and starred Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper, Sarah Gadon, and Charles Dance.
    Meanwhile, a new adaptation of “The Mummy” came out in 2017. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, it followed a soldier who’s trapped in an ancient tomb. It starred Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe.
    The Monsterverse has been in the works for a long time. Chris Morgan, who headed the project Kurtzman, once said, “We’re exploring issues of family identity and questions of, ‘Where do I belong in the world?’ ”
    “We’re creating a mythology, so we’re looking at this canon and thinking, ‘What are the rules?’ ” Kurtzman explained. “What can we break and what are the ones that are untouchable? The idea is that we have a deep bench of brains to consult with about how their monster fits into our world as we go forward.”

    Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent Reunite for New TV Comedy 'Family Affair'

    Instagram

    The ‘Be Without You’ singer and the ‘In Da Club’ rapper are teaming up again to produce a new television project which is named after her 2001 hit single.

    Nov 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mary J. Blige is reteaming with 50 Cent to develop a new TV comedy.
    The hip-hop superstars will produce “Family Affair”, which will follow an R&B musician who is suddenly forced to take on a new parental role to raise his sister’s four children.
    The project, which shares the same title as Blige’s hit 2001 song, will be written by Devon and Ranada Shepard, who will also serve as executive producers.
    It has been given a pilot order by bosses at U.S. network ABC.

    Blige and 50 are already close colleagues as the singer stars on the “Power” spin-off, “Power Book II: Ghost”, which the “In Da Club” rapper executive produces.
    The crime drama series was picked up for a second season in September (20) following a record-breaking premiere on U.S. cable network Starz.
    In addition to “Ghost”, Starz ordered three more spin-offs, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan”, “Power Book IV: Influence”, and “Power Book V: Force” as the original show concluded in 2019 after six seasons. Unfortunately, production on “Ghost” and “Raising Kanan” was put on hold earlier this year due to Covid-19 pandemic.
    “Ghost” continues where the original series leaves off while “Raising Kanan” is set as a prequel series to follow Kanan Stark during the ’90s, “Influence” is expected to revolve around the character of Rashad Tate, and “Force” is going to chronicle the story of Tommy Egan leaving New York for good.

    'Deadpool 3' Gets 'Bob's Burgers' Writers to Pen the Script

    20th Century Fox

    Emmy-winning writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin have reportedly been enlisted to pen the script for the upcoming third Merch with a Mouth movie.

    Nov 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds has tapped the writers behind cult animated series “Bob’s Burgers” to write “Deadpool 3”.
    The actor is poised to reprise his role as the snarky comic book antihero for a third outing, which will be penned by Emmy winners Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, according to Deadline.
    The project remains in the early stages of development, but will be the first to potentially utilise characters from the wider Marvel Studios superhero franchises, following Disney bosses’ acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which was completed last year (19). Reynolds first took on Deadpool for an appearance in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in 2009, and hit the big screen for a standalone film in 2016. “Deadpool 2” followed in 2018.
    Both movies were directed by David Leitch. It’s not yet known if he will return to take charge of the third instalment, as a timeline for production has not been announced.

    The first movie was R-rated but the violence and profanities were later toned down in the sequel. “I’ve said no (to making a more kid-friendly Deadpool film) since 2006. Now, this one time, I said ‘Yes’ on (the condition that) a portion of the proceeds had to go to charity,” Reynolds said.
    Details of the third installment are still scarce, but the actor previously teased that they were “looking to go in a completely different direction.”
    Earlier this year, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson sparked rumors that he’s joining the cast after the comic book creator Rob Liefeld reached out to the actor on Instagram.
    “Dearest @therock based on reports of outstanding chemistry between you and a familiar friend, I believe the next logical step is for you to join the Marvel Universe as Garrison Kane in a future Deadpool installment,” Liefeld wrote.
    The wrestler-turned-actor replied, “Dearest Rob, thank you amigo. It’s true, in @HobbsAndShaw, I have insanely outstanding chemistry with our familiar friend. Since you created the characters, how does one Garrison Kane get alone with one.”

    Florida Georgia Line Team Up With Monarch Media to Make Original Country Musical Movie

    Instagram

    Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley have also expressed their excitement to be joining forces with their frequent music video director TK McKamy to produce the new movie.

    Nov 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Florida Georgia Line are heading to Hollywood to work on a feature-length country musical.
    Bandmates Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are joining forces with their frequent music video director TK McKamy to produce the new movie, which will feature original songs penned by the “Cruise” hitmakers, as well as covers of country music classics.
    They have also been collaborating with Monarch Media studio officials Steve Barnett and Alan Powell to develop the storyline, although details have yet to be revealed.
    According to Deadline, McKamy is considering taking charge of the film, which would mark his big screen directorial debut.
    “We are so excited to bring a wholly original country musical to the big screen for the very first time,” Hubbard and Kelley share in a joint statement.

    “In TK McKamy and the team at Monarch Media, we’ve found the perfect partners that will help us bring the emotion and storytelling of country music to the movies for the most passionate music fans in the world to enjoy.”
    Powell adds, “There is a feeling that only a great country song can give you. It can make you smile bigger or cry harder than any other genre and frankly, our goal is to create a film that captures those feelings and puts them on screen in a way that’s never been done before.”
    “We believe Florida Georgia Line is the best partner to do that and are thrilled to work with them on this project.”
    The movie news will be welcomed by fans after Hubbard shut down rumours suggesting the pair was heading for a split. He briefly unfollowed Kelley on social media after disagreeing with the Republican supporter’s politics.
    “It wasn’t a big deal… We’re on great terms,” Hubbard told SiriusXM’s “Exit 209 with Storme Warren” show this week (ends November 20). “We’re feeling stronger than ever. We’re loving and supporting each other… and excited for the future.”

    'Black Panther' Sequel Gets Start Date, Finds Its Villain

    Walt Disney Pictures/WENN/Brian To

    Words are ‘Narcos: Mexico’ actor Tenoch Huerta is in talks to play one of the antagonists, while Letitia Wright’s Shuri may have a bigger role in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s death.

    Nov 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Marvel Studio is moving forward with its “Black Panther” sequel following the untimely passing of its supposed lead actor Chadwick Boseman. The follow-up to the 2018 movie is reportedly slated to start filming in Atlanta in July and last for upwards of six months.
    According to multiple source who provided the info to The Hollywood Reporter, Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett are all expected to reprise their roles for the sequel. Wright’s Shuri is also said to have a more prominent role in the upcoming feature.
    Besides those returning actors, the project is about to add a new cast member, with Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta reportedly in talks to play one of the antagonists. The 39-year-old actor appeared in Cary Joji Fukunaga’s 2009 film “Sin Nombre” and is currently starring on Netflix’s crime drama series “Narcos: Mexico”.
    “Black Panther 2” was initially hoped to kick off production in March 2021 with Ryan Coogler returning as director. However, the project was sidelined as the filmmaker and Marvel tried to navigate grief over the unexpected death of Boseman in August.

    “We’re just still mourning Chad, so it’s not something I even want to think about,” Wright told Porter magazine in an interview for its October issue, revealing she’s not even sure there is a “Black Panther” franchise without Boseman. “The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange,” she added. “We’re just grieving at the moment, so it’s trying to find the light in the midst of it.”
    Marvel has not revealed how it would handle Boseman’s absence in the sequel, but Marvel’s Executive Vice President Victoria Alonso has ruled out using CGI to replace the late actor. “No. There’s only one Chadwick and he’s not with us,” she told Argentinian newspaper Clarin when asked about the prospect of a digital recreation of the star.
    “Our king, unfortunately, has died in real life, not just in fiction, and we are taking a little time to see how we return to the story and what we do to honor this chapter of what has happened to us that was so unexpected, so painful, so terrible, really,” she stated.
    Alonso explained, “Because Chadwick was not only a wonder of a human being every day for the five years that we spent together. But it also seems to me that as a character what he did elevated us as a company and has left his moment in history.”
