  • Henry Cavill's Fans Campaign for His Return as Superman

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    #HenryCavillSuperman is trending on social media as people demand a ‘Man of Steel’ sequel with the British actor returning to reprise his role as Lois Clark.
    Sep 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – While Henry Cavill has declared that he hasn’t hung his Superman cape just yet, a new Man of Steel movie has not been greenlit following the lukewarm response to “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”. But the actor’s loyal fans have not given up their hope to see the 37-year-old hunk back as the Krypton-born superhero and have launched a social media campaign demanding a “Man of Steel” sequel.
    It’s unclear who started it, but people have been tweeting using the hashtag “#HenryCavillSuperman”, making it trending on social media on Monday, September 7. “What the world needs now is hope #HenryCavillSuperman,” one person wrote.
    Believing that Cavill is the perfect actor for the role, another claimed, “There’s no reason not to make a sequel to Man of Steel. The perfect cast has already been established. Get a screenwriter and filmmaker passionate about building on what we already have and let’s fly!#HenryCavillSuperman.”
    “Are we ever gonna stop asking for another Superman solo movie?? #HenryCavillSuperman,” a third person rhetorically asked. A fourth one demanded, “Give my man What. He. Deserves. give us man of steel 2 #HenryCavillSuperman.”
    Someone argued why Cavill deserves another chance to play Kal-El, “I honestly think Henry Cavill is the perfect Superman actor. His physique, looks, enthusiasm, subtlety and knowledge and love for the character are all things that make him born for that role. He’s been great so far, I’d love to see what more he can bring. #HenryCavillSuperman.”
    Another agreed, writing, “People are annoyed that Henry Cavill doesn’t have another Superman solo film in the works. While I wasn’t a big fan of Man of Steel, I think most people would agree that Cavill is great as Supes. He just needs to get a screenplay this time around! #HenryCavillSuperman.”
    Warner Bros. has not responded to fans’ demand for a new Man of Steel movie starring Cavill. While Batman is getting a reboot with Robert Pattinson taking over the role from Ben Affleck, “The Witcher” star said back in 2019 that he has not parted ways with his superhero character. “The cape is still in the closet,” the “Justice League” actor said. “It’s still mine. I’m not going to sit quietly in the dark as all the stuff is going on. I’ve not given up the role.”
    “There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. A lot of storytelling to do,” he insisted. “A lot of real, true depths to the honesty of the character I want to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me. There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.”
    In May of this year, there were reports that Cavill would return as Superman, though not in a “standalone film.” He was reportedly in talks to make a cameo in one of DC’s upcoming films, with Deadline noting that “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”, “Black Adam”, “Aquaman 2”, “Wonder Woman 1984” and a new “Suicide Squad” movie among Warner Bros.’ upcoming releases.

    NBC

    Kicking off the new episode of the long-running NBC show is Double Dragon as the sisters perform a fun and sassy routine to Lizzo’s ‘Juice’, much to judge Sofia Vergara’s liking.
    Sep 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “America’s Got Talent” returned with a new episode on Tuesday, September 8. The new outing brought season 15 semi-finals featuring the performances of 11 acts, including two wildcard acts.
    Kicking off the night was Double Dragon as the sisters performed a fun and sassy routine to Lizzo’s “Juice”. Judge Sofia Vergara was totally in love with them, saying that they gave her a “good time” and made her “obsessed” with them. Heidi Klum, meanwhile, likened them to Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Super Bowl.

    Dance Town Family, the first wildcard act, then performed. Hoping they would impress the judges, they mixed country and rock n’ roll vibes in their semi-final performance. That fortunately worked because Sofia believed that this was their “best performance” yet.

    Next up was Spyros Bros, who performed in front of the Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios. Things seemingly didn’t go as planned though they still did their best. Sofia applauded them for taking things to the next level, but it was “too risky.”

    The next performer was the second wildcard act, Thomas Day. It was revealed that he withdrew in the quarterfinals because he and and his mother tested positive for COVID-19. For that night’s performance, he belted out Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over”. That earned him a standing ovation from the judges with Howie Mandel telling Thomas that he “shined.”

    As for Alan Silva, he hung onto the chains with one foot and lighting the top of his chains on fire. Sofia and Heidi were hugely impressed but Heidi felt that his last performance was better. Singing Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” was Shaquira McGrath and Heidi called her “all-round talent.”

    Kim Kardashian announced the end of “KUWTK” on Tuesday through a statement. “To our amazing fans – It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” she said, thanking those who kept supporting them and “the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.”

    Following the announcement, Khloe Kardashian has also taken to her social media account to share her feelings over the show ending. “I am so grateful and thankful to everyone who has supported us and been there through it all,” she said. “I’m too emotional to fully express myself at the moment. Change is hard but also needed at times. I love you all. Thank you for the memories!”

  • 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Remake Picked Up for Two Seasons by NBC

    NBC

    NBUniversal has ordered two seasons after winning a bidding war for the rights to the upcoming remake of the classic television sitcom fronted by Will Smith.
    Sep 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Will Smith has saluted the brains behind a dramatic new take on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” after it was picked up for a two-season run by NBC bosses.
    The concept of the show, based on Morgan Cooper’s popular fan film, was snapped up by Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s Westbrook Studios earlier this summer (20), and the “Ali” star can’t believe how easy it was to sell to networks.
    The couple landed a deal at Universal Television and Smith posted a video online capturing him breaking the news to Cooper and his co-writer Chris Collins.
    “We have just officially closed the deal with Peacock with an unprecedented two-season-order from a pitch,” Smith gushed. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years and that does not happen. They ordered two full seasons of Bel-Air based on the quality of the pitch and the work that you guys have done. So I want to say congratulations. I am hyped.”
    The project was pitched to streaming services last month (Aug20) and Deadline sources claim NBC’s new Peacock project and Netflix were the last companies standing.
    Cooper will direct and co-executive produce the series, which he is co-writing with Collins.
    The new show will be a much more serious take on a teen’s journey from the mean streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Bel-Air, California.
    Cinematographer Cooper’s take on the classic comedy show took the Internet by storm in March, 2019.

  • Joel Kinnaman Angry as He Felt 'Violated' During Filming of His New Movie

    WENN

    The ‘Suicide Squad’ actor says he was struggling to deal with ‘too real’ torture scenes with childhood pal Noomi Rapace for their upcoming movie ‘The Secrets We Keep’.
    Sep 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Joel Kinnaman felt “violated” as he filmed new movie “The Secrets We Keep” with childhood pal Noomi Rapace, because director Yuval Adler wanted torture scenes to look as real as possible.
    The “Suicide Squad” star jumped at the chance to reteam with his high school friend and initially signed on to play her husband in the film, but when that role went to Chris Messina, Adler asked him to play the man who Noomi’s character kidnaps, believing he’s the Nazi who raped her during World War Two.
    Kinnaman admits the role was the most difficult he has ever played.
    “I had the physical experience of being violated, of being abused for up to 16 hours a day,” he tells WENN. “I took that home with me every night.”
    “Yuval wanted everything as real as possible, so the gag had to dig into my mouth. The ropes had to be tied a certain way. Looking back, I agree with all of his decisions, but sitting there while he was telling them to tie me tighter was difficult. It was exhausting, and I got angry sometimes. But as soon as it was over, I wanted to make another film with him.”
    “The Secrets We Keep” will be released in theatres and on demand next month (Oct20).
