    Laurence Fishburne Not Asked to Return for 'The Matrix 4'

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The actor who played Morpheus in the first three movies reveals he hasn’t got any offer to reprise his role for the highly-anticipated fourth installment.
    Aug 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Laurence Fishburne has claimed he “wasn’t invited” to reprise his role of Morpheus in “The Matrix 4”.
    The 59-year-old actor starred as Morpheus in “The Matrix” in 1999, “The Matrix Reloaded” in 2003, and “The Matrix Revolutions” later that year. However, while Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss – who played Neo and Trinity in the films – have been seen hard at work on the latest movie instalment in Berlin, Germany, Laurence told New York Magazine that he hadn’t been asked to return to the franchise.
    “I have not been invited. Maybe that will make me write another play. I wish them well. I hope it’s great,” he said when asked if he’d be back for “The Matrix 4”.
    Since Laurence’s comments, fans have been speculating about why he wasn’t involved in the new film, with some wondering if it could be down to the fact that Morpheus was killed in “The Matrix Online” video game.
    Also, it had been rumoured that “Aquaman” actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II would be taking on the role of a younger Morpheus in the film – leading to speculation that maybe the character will solely appear in flashbacks or potentially resurrected in a younger form.
    “The Matrix 4” is due for release in April, 2022, after the coronavirus pandemic pushed back the release date.

    The ‘Watchmen’ actress and ‘The Babysitter’ actor tackle the role of an odd couple in the new family film, which will make its debut on Netflix on Friday, August 21.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Malin Akerman and Ken Marino are hoping their new Netflix movie, “The Sleepover”, is a hit, so they can work together again on a sequel.
    The pair plays an odd couple in the new family film, which debuts on Friday, August 21, and both stars admit they had such a blast they want to make another film.
    “It has the potential (of being a franchise), absolutely,” the “Watchmen” star says. “That would be so much fun, sort of like the ‘Spy Kids’ extravaganza. It would be fantastic. I would definitely go back and do it again as long as Ken Marino is not involved… No, I’m joking, I love working with Ken and I would do anything with him.”
    Her co-star adds, “I would absolutely love for this to go on because I want to continue to make movies that families can watch together and this seems like a fun one.”

    Jensen Ackles to Put on Superhero Suit for Season 3 of 'The Boys'

    Instagram

    The ‘Supernatural’ star, who is preparing to film the last few episodes of his fantasy series’ final season, has been added to the cast of the Amazon show as World War II veteran Soldier Boy.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles is leaving the monster hunting behind to portray a superhero on hit series “The Boys”.
    The actor has been added to the cast of the Amazon show for season three, in which he will play World War II veteran Soldier Boy, a character described as “the original superhero,” who became “the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades.”
    The role will reunite Ackles with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke, who adapted “The Boys” from the comic book of the same name, and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
    Joking about Ackles’ casting in a statement, Kripke quips, “When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream – to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true.”
    “Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him a brother.”
    “As Soldier Boy, the very first Superhero, he’ll bring so much humor, pathos, and danger to the role. I can’t wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of ‘Supernatural’ to ‘The Boys’.”
    Ackles is currently preparing to film the last few episodes of “Supernatural” 15th and final season, which were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A production date for season three of “The Boys”, which stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid and Chace Crawford, has yet to be revealed, but the casting news emerges ahead of the second season premiere on 4 September.

    'AGT': Kenan Thompson Tapped to Be Guest Judge While Simon Cowell Is Recovering From Back Surgery

    WENN

    Prior to the ‘Saturday Night Live’ star, Kelly Clarkson filled in for Simon, who broke his back after falling from an electric bike earlier this month, for last week’s episodes.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell apparently will not be featured in the upcoming episode of “America’s Got Talent”. As Simon continues to recuperate following back surgery, Kenan Thompson has been tapped to appear as a guest judge. He will join judges Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and newcomer Sofia Vergara.
    Prior to the “Saturday Night Live” star, Kelly Clarkson filled in for Simon for last week’s episodes. “My friend, Simon Cowell, is doing better now but was in an accident and won’t be able to make Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows for AGT, but no worries America, someone far wiser, cooler, and hotter is taking his seat! The unbelievably amazing Kelly Clarkson,” Kelly wrote on Twitter. “You’re welcome in advance!”
    A source claimed to PEOPLE that Simon, who broke his back on August 8 at his Malibu, California, “is really happy Kelly is standing in for him on AGT this week and grateful to her.” Simon injured his back when he fell off an electric bike in front of his 6-year-old son Eric.
    He reportedly underwent overnight surgery to fix the problem. “It’s going to take him weeks, maybe months,” sources said of the music mogul’s condition. “Simon has a long and difficult road ahead. He has told friends and colleagues that he wants to be back at work immediately but they’ve had to remind him that this is a very serious injury and he needs to just rest and recuperate. It’s going to take him weeks, and maybe months, to get back to where he was.”
    However, they added, “If he ignores the doctor’s orders then it will be very bad news for him long term,” insisting, “He was up in bed talking about deals and telly but he had to be told to relax.” Meanwhile, PETA India animal rights activists named an injured bull after the TV personality as he recovers from a broken back.

    Sean Young Recalls Thinking She Had No Choice But Agreeing to Do Nude Scene in 'No Way Out'

    Orion Pictures

    In new documentary ‘Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies’, the ‘Blade Runner’ actress shares her experience auditioning for the 1987 film and filming her sex scene with Kevin Costner.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Sean Young feels she did her best work in “No Way Out”‘s nude scene with Kevin Costner because she really didn’t want to be naked in the 1987 film.
    The star insists she felt she had no choice but to bare all in the famous sex scene and admits not only was she acting but she was also pretending not to be uncomfortable.
    “That’s kind of good acting – where you’re really in a situation you don’t want to be and trying to make it look comfortable and authentic,” Sean says in new documentary “Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies”, which debuts as a video on demand on Tuesday, August 18.
    She also reveals Costner was even more nervous than she was – and he got to keep his clothes on.
    “I remember turning to him and saying, ‘You’re dressed! What are you talking about? Get it together, would ya?’.”
    Looking back, Young is convinced the scene would not be shot as it was today, adding, “(Director) Roger Donaldson at the audition when he finally offered me the part, he said, ‘Lift up your shirt. Let me see. I want to make sure you don’t have any scars or anything on you’. So I was like, ‘OK,’ and lifted my shirt. It was really ridiculous on a certain level.
    “It’s not like you could say to the producers, ‘I love this part but I don’t want to do the nudity’. You had to do the nudity. That’s what they were banking on as part of their sexy project. I remember doing the love scene (in the limo) and thinking how retarded it was that I was the only one undressed.”

    Kevin Hart Already Teases Bromance With Will Smith in 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' Remake

    WENN

    The ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ star is teaming up with the ‘Bad Boys for Life’ actor to star in and produce the reboot to the classic John Hughes 1987 road trip comedy.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kevin Hart and Will Smith are booked for a road trip together. The two actors are set to team up for a remake of the classic John Hughes 1987 holiday movie “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”, which is billed as a starring vehicle for both of them.
    The “Ride Along” star and the “Bad Boys for Life” actor will also co-produce the movie through their banners, Hartbeat Productions and Westbrook Studios, respectively. Westbrook’s Jon Mone and Hartbeat’s Bryan Smiley will serve as producers along with them.
    The original movie starred Steve Martin as Neal Page, a high-strung marketing executive, and John Candy as Del Griffith, a goodhearted but annoying shower curtain ring salesman. They share a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to get Neal home to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving with his family.
    Aeysha Carr has been tapped to write the remake, which is dubbed a modern update of the original, with Smith and Hart as the mismatched duo.
    Spreading news about the project, Hart took to Instagram to share a screenshot of Deadline’s article. He suggested that he has been waiting for a long time to work with Smith and finally found the right project with the “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” remake, writing, “I’ve been patiently waiting for the right project to team up with my brother with. We found it and are developing it together with our teams.”
    He already teased a bromance with his co-star and hinted that the movie will be set in Philadelphia as he added, “This will be huge for us and the city of brotherly love aka Philadelphia….. let’s goooooo @willsmith.”
    In the original film, Martin’s Neal and Candy’s Del board a flight from New York City to Chicago, but they get stuck in Wichita as their plane is diverted to Wichita due to a blizzard in Chicago. It’s unclear if Philadelphia will replace Wichita or will be their final destination in the remake.
    Other details of the new “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” movie, including director and a release date, are yet to be announced.

    Jason Oppenheim Won't Sign Up for 'Selling Sunset' Had He Known It Would Be a Reality Show

    Instagram

    The man behind real estate brokerage The Oppenheim Group reveals in a new interview that he initially wanted the Netflix series to be ‘be all about the nuances of real estate’.
    Aug 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Selling Sunset” boss Jason Oppenheim wouldn’t have signed up for the Netflix series if he’d known it was going to be a reality show.
    The 43-year-old runs The Oppenheim Group, with his twin brother Brett – the real estate brokerage that’s the focus of the hit show. And while the stunning houses the realtors flog provide an attractive backdrop for the programme, it’s the ins and outs of the lives of the gorgeous women who work for the company that have gripped viewers.
    However, in a new interview with Hello! magazine, Jason insisted he wasn’t told what kind of show “Selling Sunset” would be.
    “Had I known the show would be this focused on our personal lives I probably wouldn’t have signed up for it,” he admitted. “I wanted it to be all about the nuances of real estate, but I now realise the show I envisaged wouldn’t be that popular!”.
    But with the fallout from Chrishell Stause’s split from husband Justin Hartley providing much of the content for season two of the show, Jason added: “I’ve come to accept the idea that I’m on more of a reality show than a real estate show.”
