    Henry Cavill Admits to Googling About Superman Rumors, Would Love to Reprise His Role

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The ‘Man of Steel’ actor reveals that he likes to go on the internet to see what fans have to say about his possible return as the DC superhero in a new movie.
    Jul 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Henry Cavill can’t keep up with the Internet speculation about his alleged return to the role of Superman because the rumours “get wilder and wilder.”
    The 37 year old, who last played the Man of Steel in 2017’s “Justice League”, likes to check in online to see what fans have to say about his chances of pulling on the tights and cape again – and sometimes even he can’t believe what he’s reading.
    “They (posts) get wilder and wilder by the day,” he marvels on a new episode of Variety and iHeart podcast “The Big Ticket”. “The amount of speculation, the stuff I read on the Internet, is extraordinary and sometimes frustrating. It’s when you see people stating stuff as fact. Like, ‘No, that’s not the case. That hasn’t happened, and that conversation isn’t happening.”
    “But the important thing is that people are excited about it, and I think it’s important to be excited about a character like Superman. Superman is a fantastic character. If people are chatting about it, and even if they’re making stuff up, it’s okay, because that means they want to see the character again.”
    Like the fans, Henry would like to see himself as Superman once more. “I would absolutely love to play the character again,” he adds, admitting sometimes he’s tempted to add his own posts to the online speculation about the superhero’s next film or TV appearance.
    “I’m not going to lie, I’ve been very tempted (to comment), but there’s something about that, that feels deeply immoral,” he admits. “When it’s about Superman, and if I’m representing Superman, it just feels like the wrong thing to do.”

    'The Outpost' Helmer Defends Casting Celebrity Offspring: Nobody Is Picked Because of Their Parents

    Screen Media Films

    The director Rod Lurie talks about having celebrity offspring in his upcoming war movie, insisting everybody was chosen because they are really talented.
    Jul 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Rod Lurie is still pinching himself after landing the sons and grandsons of some of the world’s most famous and beloved celebrities for his new war film “The Outpost”.
    The director insists he never set out to make a movie with names like Jagger, Eastwood, Alda, Attenborough, and Gibson, but that’s the way casting came together.
    The film, starring Orlando Bloom and Scott Eastwood, features the grandsons of Alan Alda and Richard Attenborough, and Mick Jagger and Mel Gibson’s boys.
    “The poster should read: ‘Eastwood, Gibson, Jagger, Attenborough!'” Lurie quips. “It was extremely unintentional; nobody was picked because of their dad, although I met Scott Alda Coffey because I had worked with his grandpa in Nothing But the Truth and a couple of films after.”
    “Alan asked me to meet with him (Scott) and I found out that he’s a dogsitter, and so he became my dogsitter. I also discovered what a great actor he was and we cast him in the role of Michael Scusa.”
    The film will be released digitally at the end of July (20).

    Penn Badgley Finds It Uncomfortable Watching Himself on 'Gossip Girl'

    The CW

    The Dan Humphrey depicter opens up on his experience of experimenting with drugs during his younger years and reveals he didn’t enjoy watching himself on ‘Gossip Girl’.
    Jul 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Penn Badgley has opened up about experimenting with drugs in his youth.
    The 33-year-old spoke with his former “Gossip Girl” co-star Chace Crawford for an interview with Variety where, among other topics, the pair touched on dabbling in hallucinogenics.
    The topic of conversation arose as the pair talked about the LSD trip taken by Penn’s character in season two of “You”.
    “On the LSD trip, did you do some research?” Chace asked. “Your performance was amazing.”
    Penn admitted, “In my early 20s, I did plenty of research.”
    Despite speaking candidly of his experiences, Penn hinted he wasn’t in the best headspace at the time and called revisiting his classic series, which also starred Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, with his wife, Domino Kirke, “very hard to watch.”
    “It must’ve been six months after we met,” he said of the last time he saw the show. “She had never seen it, and that’s the last time I can remember seeing an episode.”
    “These snapshots of yourself when you’re 20, 21, 22 years old. Who can enjoy that? Sometimes it’s just uncomfortable,” he added.
    The popular teen drama is to be revived for the HBO Max streaming service, with its premiere pushed back to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    Lin-Manuel Miranda Accused of Romanticizing Slave Owners With 'Hamilton'

    Disney+

    The ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ actor locks his social media as his new movie debuts on streaming site and receives mixed reactions as it gets criticized for glorifying slave owners.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lin-Manuel Miranda has locked his Twitter account after “Hamilton” debuted on Disney+.
    The singer/songwriter and actor debuted the film version of his Broadway smash on the streaming platform on Friday (03Jul20) and, following the release, went private on on the social media site.
    Celebrating the premiere, Miranda participated in a live-tweeting party with fans and the rest of the cast from 7 pm until 10 pm ET, shortly after which he locked his account.
    In his final public post, the star signed off, saying, “Thank you for tonight. I’m so grateful you just have the whole thing now. With this extraordinary company and crew. It’s yours.”
    While he didn’t give a solid explanation as to why he quit the platform, fans have speculated it may be due to backlash online over the musical’s focus on a group of men that were slave owners, with some people calling the show racist for glorifying the people in history.
    Miranda previously insisted “Hamilton” has taken on a whole new significance in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests across the U.S. and worldwide.
    “There’s nothing new about what’s happening,” he told WSJ magazine. “It’s been interesting to see the different things that pop up, because I was trying to tell this specific story, but I was grabbing from the America I know. So it all hits in different ways, based on where America is.”

    Mike Tyson Unaware He Made a Cameo in 'The Hangover' Due to This Reason

    WENN

    Talking about his special appearance in the 2009 comedy film, the former boxing champion recalls meeting Zach Galifianakis and a co-star at a Las Vegas club randomly the night before the shooting.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Mike Tyson was drunk and high on cocaine throughout his entire cameo in “The Hangover”.
    The former boxing champion almost didn’t make it to the set of the 2009 comedy film, because he was too intoxicated to remember his appearance in the movie, until he met Zach Galifianakis and other co-stars at a club in Las Vegas randomly the night before the shoot.
    “I met the guys in a club, they were in the VIP section and I said, ‘This is where I normally sit, nobody’s normally here,’ ” he recalled during a recent interview with self-help guru Tony Robbins. “So I went in there, I’m checking these guys to see what they’re doing in my section. It was Zach, the other guy, and he said, ‘We’re going to be in a movie with you’ and I said, ‘Yeah? When?’ And he said, ‘Tomorrow.’ ”
    “And I didn’t know as I was drinking and smoking back then, doing drugs so I didn’t know I was involved in the movie. So eventually I had to go and do the movie and it was a success.”

    Mike also made an appearance in the 2011 follow-up “The Hangover Part II”. He has been sober for a decade.

    Bill Murray's Classic Movie 'Groundhog Day' Gets Rebooted for New TV Series

    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Classic comedy film “Groundhog Day” will be rehashed in a new TV series.
    The beloved 1993 movie starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell about the same day happening over and over again, is now being developed for the small screen, according to Stephen Toblowsky, who played insurance agent Ned Ryerson in the original.
    “There’s talk about a Groundhog Day series in the works,” he told The Production Meeting Podcast on Thursday (02Jul20).
    Stephen has already accepted his old role in the new show, which will be set 30 years after the original film, noting he only learned about the project by happenstance.
    “One of the producers – I was working on The Goldbergs (series) or (the spin-off series) Schooled, one of those shows over on the Sony (studio) lot, and one of the producers saw me and goes, ‘Oh, Stephen! Stephen! We’re working on a Groundhog Day TV show. Could you be Ned for the TV show?,’ ” he recalled. “I go, ‘Sure. Yeah. No problem.’ But it’s Ned thirty years later. What has his life become?”
    It has not yet been confirmed whether Bill Murray or Andie MacDowell will also reprise their roles for the new show.

    Diane Guerrero's Crazy Role on DC Superhero Series 'Doom Patrol' Sends Her to Therapy

    HBO

    The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress feels the need to see therapist for playing a crazy young woman with 64 different personalities on the DC Comic adaptation.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Diane Guerrero enrolled herself in therapy while filming the second season of “Doom Patrol” to deal with the stresses of playing a kooky character with multiple personalities.
    On the TV adaptation of the DC Comics series, about a group of misfits with superhuman abilities, the “Orange Is the New Black” star portrays Crazy Jane, a young woman who develops 64 different personalities as a result of childhood trauma, and she jokes it’s a part she was born to tackle.
    “It’s like, ‘Of course I’m doing this role. It’s because I am’ – and this is a word I used to use to apply to myself – ‘I am crazy,’ ” Guerrero quipped on The Big Ticket podcast.
    “I know what all of these emotions mean and I know what these emotions are on a heightened level.”
    Exploring each personality for TV led Guerrero, who had previously seen a counselor, to seek out some mental health treatment of her own. “I needed to be in therapy anyway,” she said. “And I just had to go back. The show and the role let me know that it was time.”
    “We absolutely have to acknowledge our past – talk about it, normalize it, and use it as our strength, not as our weakness,” she continued. “That’s what the show does. It shows you that our weaknesses can be our greatest strengths.”
    And it appears Guerrero will need to continue therapy for as long as she is on “Doom Patrol”. “My character just keeps getting darker and darker,” she added.
    The series also stars Matthew Bomer, Brendan Fraser and Timothy Dalton.

    Jeremy Kyle's TV Guest Died of Morphine Overdose After Failing Lie Detector Test on His Show

    Facebook

    Steve Dymond’s death has prompted ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ to get axed and now it’s revealed the cause of his death is morphine overdose and heart trouble.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Steve Dymond died of a morphine overdose and heart trouble one week after failing a lie detector test on Britain’s “The Jeremy Kyle Show”.
    The long-running British tabloid talk show, hosted by 54-year-old Kyle on U.K. network ITV, was axed last May (19) after Dymond was found dead after filming the show.
    A pre-inquest review hearing took place on Friday (03Jun20) before Portsmouth and South East Hampshire Area Coroner Jason Pegg, who opened by stating the registered cause of death.
    “(Dymond) died at his home address in Portsmouth,” he told the court. “The medical cause of death given is an overdose of morphine and left ventricular hypertrophy.”
    Officials at Portsmouth Coroner’s Court are scheduled to begin looking into the circumstances surrounding his passing, however, the pre-inquest review hearing, which took place remotely, was adjourned due to technical troubles.
    The inquest had previously been scheduled to begin in April, but was postponed due to the coronavirus crisis. It is now slated to go ahead on either 29 or 30 October.
    “The Jeremy Kyle Show” first aired in July 2005 and has long been controversial as well as popular, as guests are 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.
