    New Trailer for Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' Is Dramatic Take on Pivotal Moments

    [embedded content]

    Offering glimpses of never-before-seen footage, the latest sneak peek for the HBO Max movie mostly shows scenes in slow motion while being set to Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Here’s a new look at the long-awaited “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. Ahead of its re-release, a brand new trailer for the movie has been released by HBO Max, both in black and white as well as in full colors.
    Set to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, the sneak peek comprises of mostly pivotal moments in the film. They’re often presented in slow motion that aptly adds the dramatic feels. It offers glimpses of never-before-seen footage, either from unused footage or newly-filmed scenes, while teasing a heartbreaking sacrifice and The Flash’s potential love interest among other things.
    Synder’s cut of “Justice League” has been a constant conversation since the 2017 movie received mixed reviews and had an underwhelming performance at box office. Fans demanded Synder’s cut be released, after Joss Whedon replaced the former during post-production when the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” helmer was dealing with a family tragedy.

    The project was officially announced in May of this year. The restoration that reportedly cost around $70 million includes the visual effects, score, editing and additional shooting. The Snyder cut will be released as a four-part miniseries in 2021, with each episode being an hour long. This will be followed by a version that combines the episodes into a four-hour film.
    Synder previously said that although the main villain in the movie is Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds), the popular comic book villain Darkseid would make an appearance in his cut of the movie. “It will be an entirely new thing, and, especially talking to those who have seen the released movie, a new experience apart from that movie,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in May of his new cut.
    Additionally, Jared Leto is said returning for the reshoot and will get a different look. Meanwhile, Joe Manganiello is rumored to reprise his role as Deathstroke after he recently debuted a bold new blue Mohawk look.

    Dwayne Johnson Tackles Getting Stuck in Porsche Taycan During 'Red Notice' Shoot With Humor

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    Director Rawson Marshall Thurber and the filming crew were forced to get creative in shooting the Netflix movie’s racing sequence after finding out the ‘Jumanji’ star was too big for the sports car.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dwayne Johnson left director Rawson Thurber sweating on the set of upcoming movie “Red Notice” after becoming stuck in a pricey Porsche – shipped in just for the shoot.
    The former wrestler-turned-Hollywood action man shared the funny story on Instagram, revealing they had to rework the whole racing sequence at the last minute because the actor, nicknamed The Rock, was simply too big for the small car.
    “Aaaaand guess who’s too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around (sic)…,” he captioned a photo of the pair on set, alongside the Porsche Taycan electric midsize sport sedan.
    “For our @netflix globe trotting heist movie, RED NOTICE, my writer/director @rawsonthurber… wrote this INSANE chase sequence where I hop in this iconic Porsche and be the bad a** behind the wheel that I am.”
    “Well, after months of prep and costs… buying and shipping this car over to the states (sic) – it’s time to rehearse the big chase sequence.”
    Johnson goes on to detail the conversation he and Thurber shared at the time of the stressful discovery, recalling how he got stuck climbing into the car as his back is “a bit too wide.”

    “DJ continues to struggle trying to shimmy into this Porsche like a big a** brown marshmallow getting shoved into a coin slot,” he wrote, in third person.

    When Thurber realized they had a big problem, he “nervously” laughed and asked, “Wait can you fit…? Are you f**king with me…? Oh my God.”
    Johnson continued, “After about 15 seconds of uncomfortable silence… Rawson, myself and the entire crew just started laughing our a**es off!! F**k it. Welcome to 2020.”
    They managed to find ” ‘creative’ ways to still get the shot,” and Thurber admitted the nerve-wracking moment is now one of his personal highlights from the making of the movie.
    Commenting on the post, he wrote, “100 (per cent) true and still one of my favorite moments on this entire shoot. But we’ve all been there, right? #BackAsWideAsACoffeeTable.”
    “Red Notice”, which officially wrapped production this week (begins November 16), also stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, and is set for release next year (21).

    'The Bachelorette' Recap: Tayshia Adams Gives Group Date Rose to an Unexpected Man

    Instagram

    The new episode of the ABC dating competition show kicks off with a growing tension between Noah Erb and the rest of the guys following a shocking turn of event.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tayshia Adams continued her love journey in a new episode of “The Bachelorette” which aired on Tuesday, November 17. The outing kicked off with a growing tension between Noah Erb and the rest of the guys after he participated in a group date which initially didn’t have his name on the participant list.
    During the group date, the men had to wrestle each other as the others who weren’t on the date watched from the sidelines. Chasen Nick was set to fight Ed Waisbrot in the final round, but Ed backed out due to his previous shoulder injury. That was when Noah decided to hop into the ring, though he was eventually defeated. Tayshia, however, was impressed by his bold move.
    Noah, meanwhile, was aware of how the other men felt towards him. “I hate to say I don’t care about their feelings, but I really don’t,” he said in a confessional. “My time with Tayshia is precious and I’m not here to mess around. I’m here to take risks.”

      See also…

    He did exactly that during the night portion of the date. He was the first one to pull Tayshia aside and told her, “I told you from the start, I’m going to come here and be myself and be open and fight for what I want. If that’s something you’re into, it’ll work out. If it’s something you’re not, then I’d rather not waste our time.” It seemed like his words worked for Tayshia as she leaned for a kiss.
    “Every time I’ve talked to Noah, he’s surprised me,” Tayshia admitted. “Even if he looks absolutely ridiculous, he owns it.” Noah, however, wasn’t the only one who caught her heart as she also felt connected with Brendan Morais on the group date. Despite that, Tayshia decided to give the group date rose to Noah.
    The other men didn’t take it well considering that Noah wasn’t even invited to the group date in the first place. Ben was especially disappointed because Tayshia turned him down when he was about to ask her for a talk. “I want someone that’s going to fight for me, that’s eager to talk to me,” Tayshia explained. “And I know there are some guys here who feel exactly that way.”

    Conan O'Brien Quits TBS Late-Night Show, Brings His Talent to HBO Max

    Instagram

    The ‘Conan’ host is set to join HBO Max for a new variety series and leave TBS after 28-year run as his self-titled late-night show is coming to an end summer next year.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – U.S. comedian Conan O’Brien is bowing out of late night TV after a 28-year run.
    The funnyman, the longest-serving current late night host, will end his hit talk show “Conan” in June (21), and take his talents to streaming service HBO Max for a new weekly variety series.
    “I’m thrilled that I get to continue doing whatever the hell it is I do on HBO Max, and I look forward to a free subscription,” O’Brien quipped while confirming the news.

      See also…

    The TV personality joined the late night circuit in 1993 when he took over from David Letterman as the host of “Late Night” and launched “Conan” on U.S. network TBS in 2010. The show had previously been renewed until 2022.
    “28 years is a monumental achievement in late-night television,” said Brett Weitz, general manager for TNT, TBS and truTV. “We’re incredibly proud of the groundbreaking work that Conan and his team have accomplished during the 10 years at TBS and are so glad that we will continue to have his presence on our air with the ‘Conan Without Borders’ specials. We celebrate his success and are glad to see it grow across our WarnerMedia family.”
    “Conan’s unique brand of energetic, relatable, and at times, absurdist, comedy has charmed late-night audiences for nearly three decades. We can’t wait to see what he and the rest of Team Coco will dream up for this brand new, variety format each week,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max.

    Leonardo DiCaprio Butted Heads With Screenwriter Over Script of Martin Scorsese's New Movie

    WENN

    The Oscar-winning actor argued with screenwriter Eric Roth over the script written by the latter for the upcoming true-story movie ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Leonardo Dicaprio and Eric Roth have clashed over the script for Martin Scorsese’s new movie “Killers of the Flower Moon”.
    Screenwriter Roth has revealed he and Leo butted heads as he was crafting the script because the Oscar-winning “The Revenant” star didn’t like everything he read.
    “I spent four or five years on this book, Killers of the Flower Moon, which everybody should read. It’s a wonderful book,” Eric told IndieWire. “My screenplay, I think, was accurate to the book.”
    “It’s the story of Osage Indians, 1921, the poorest people in America who discover oil in this terrible land in Oklahoma, where they’ve been driven to. Then every killer in America comes to kill 184 of them for their money, but this really heroic guy comes in (to help).”

    “That’s supposed to start filming in March once the COVID clears out… They’ll be continuing rewrites with that. Leonardo wanted some things changed that we argued about. He won half of them (arguments). I won half of them. So that’s happening.”
    The film will also feature another Scorsese regular, Robert De Niro.
    “When I read David Grann’s book, I immediately started seeing it – the people, the settings, the action – and I knew that I had to make it into a movie. I’m so excited to be working with Eric Roth and reuniting with Leo DiCaprio to bring this truly unsettling American story to the screen,” Scorsese previously said.
    The director previously teamed up Leonardo DiCaprio on “Gangs of New York” (2002), “The Aviator” (2004), “The Departed” (2006), “Shutter Island” (2010) and most recently “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013).

    Zack Snyder Not Attached to Direct 'Justice League' Sequels Despite Speculation

    WENN/FayesVision

    The ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ director says he doesn’t ‘have any expectation’ to return for future DCEU films after completing his cut of ‘Justice League’.

    Nov 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Zack Snyder may be back on the director’s seat for his own version of “Justice League”, but that deal doesn’t entail with a long commitment to other DCEU projects. The filmmaker has brushed off speculation that he would return for “Justice League” sequel(s) after he agreed to complete his cut of the 2017 movie.
    “Listen, I’m just gonna say this: I don’t have any… My honest answer is I don’t have any expectation that there would be more movies than this,” he said when asked about his future in DCEU. “If that happened that would be amazing, but that bridge is far away and… It is what it is… Frankly… I’m cool.”
    Snyder, however, doesn’t rule out the possibility of directing one of DC’s many animated features. “Yeah I, listen… Anything’s possible, anything’s possible… It’s a wide open world and I love animation, I’m a huge fan,” he shared.

      See also…

    While he’s unsure if he will return for another DCEU film, Snyder will be rooting for future DC films using the characters that he has helped shape in previous movies. “Listen, you have Wonder Woman, you have Aquaman, you have this new Flash movie. All of these are branches from a tree that I planted a long time ago,” he explained.
    He went on gushing, “I couldn’t be prouder, I couldn’t be more excited about what’s happening with ‘Wonder Woman 1984’. It’s amazing, those talented people. Patty [Jenkins] is a genius and Gal [Gadot] is the greatest Wonder Woman ever. Any time those guys add a chapter to the world, it’s great, but for me, I have a very singular vision of how my track is supposed to go.”
    When Snyder was first tapped to direct the superhero ensemble flick, the plan at the time was to reportedly film two movies back-to-back. However, as Snyder’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” received lukewarm response, the plan for two-part mega-movies fell apart.
    The 54-year-old was then replaced by Joss Whedon during the post-production of “Justice League” as he dealt with a family tragedy. Now that he’s back to complete “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, many have been wondering if this opens Snyder’s way back to the original plans of him directing “Justice League 2” and more.

    Royal Family Disapproves of 'The Crown' While Questioning Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix Deal

    WENN/Instar

    Back in September, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who exited the British royal family in January, signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce content for the streaming service.

    Nov 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The Crown” has been making headlines after it premiered its season 4 on November 15. Most people seem to love the new season, which focused on Prince Charles and late Lady Diana’s story, but that’s not the case with the British royal family members.
    A so-called friend of Prince Charles claimed to Daily Mail that Prince Williams wasn’t happy with how his parents were portrayed on the hit Netflix series, which sees Josh O’Connor playing Prince Charles to Emma Corrin’s Princess Diana. “The Duke of Cambridge is none too pleased with it. He feels that both his parents are being exploited and being presented in a false, simplistic way to make money,” the source claimed.
    “In this case, it’s dragging up things that happened during very difficult times 25 or 30 years ago without a thought for anyone’s feelings,” the insider went on to say. “That isn’t right or fair, particularly when so many of the things being depicted don’t represent the truth.”

      See also…

    It also seemed like the royal family were suspicious of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s multi-year deal with Netflix earlier this year. They allegedly “raised eyebrows about Harry taking millions from the company that’s behind all this.” The source added, “After all where do much of Netflix’s profits come from? ‘The Crown’.”
    Another source believed that the streaming giant was “trolling on a Hollywood budget.” The source explained, “There is no sense of telling carefully nuanced stories–it’s all very two-dimensional…The public shouldn’t be fooled into thinking this is an accurate portrayal of what really happened.”
    Harry and Meghan, who officially stepped back as senior members of the British royal family in January, signed a multi-year deal with bosses at Netflix to produce content for the streaming service in September. As they create a yet-to-be-named production company, Netflix will pay the Duke and Duchess of Sussex an unspecified amount to develop documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming exclusively for the platform.
    “Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the couple said in a statement at the time. “As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.”
