    Demi Moore's Pandemic Movie 'Songbird' Gets 'Do Not Work' Order From Union

    WENN

    The producers of the new movie are criticized by the Screen Actors Guild for not being ‘transparent about their safety protocols’ amid the ongoing health crisis.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Michael Bay’s pandemic movie “Songbird” has been issued with a “do not work” order from industry body the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
    The film was handed the order due to producers not being “transparent about their safety protocols” amid the coronavirus pandemic, a representative from SAG-AFTRA told the Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
    The official added that they are taking safety on sets during the Covid-19 crisis “very seriously” and was forced to step in because producers “have not yet become a signatory to our agreement.” The Hollywood Reporter added that work was due to start on the film, starring Demi Moore and Craig Robinson, this month (Jul20).
    Numerous movie and TV sets were reopened in Los Angeles last month with strict rules in place due to the pandemic, which includes testing of on-set employees and regular cleaning of props and sets.

    Finn Wolfhard Considers Quitting Acting Before Landing 'Stranger Things' Role

    Instagram

    The actor known for his portrayal of Mike Wheeler on the hit Netflix series admits to coming close to deciding on an alternate career after he lost out on a role in an unnamed film.
    Jul 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Finn Wolfhard was close to giving up acting before landing a role on the smash hit “Stranger Things”.
    The 17-year-old almost decided on an alternate career after he lost out on a role in an unnamed film – he figured he’d later step behind the camera as a director instead.
    The star, who was then 12, reveals he was “sick in bed and almost considering not even acting (anymore)” at the time he was due to submit his audition tape for the Netflix series.
    The low key try out also included a chat with the show’s casting directors but Finn still couldn’t get excited about the possibility of being cast.
    “They just kind of pitched me the show – I was, like, 12 – and we talked about all the movies it was based on,” he shares.
    He went on to land the role of Mike Wheeler but admits he had limited expectations for the sci-fi project, which was created by Matt and Ross Duffer.
    “We just thought we were filming this secret thing that no one knew about,” he shares. “Which we were. No one knew what we were doing. Netflix was kind of hands-off. We thought maybe it would become a cult classic, and we’ll come back to it in 30 years and be really proud of doing it.”
    Meanwhile, “Stranger Things”‘ season three audience smashed previous viewership records for the platform, with 40 million households streaming the show. Filming of season four, which was taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    Lucy Hale Left Heartbroken by Cancellation of 'Katy Keene'

    The CW

    Shortly after The CW announced that the ‘Riverdale’ spin-off will not return for a second season, its leading actress turns to social media to reflect her time filming the series.
    Jul 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lucy Hale was reduced to tears on Thursday, July 2 as she reflected on the cancellation of her U.S. TV series “Katy Keene”.
    The former “Pretty Little Liars” star took on the title role in the “Riverdale” spin-off, but bosses at network The CW announced on Thursday that they wouldn’t be renewing it for a second season.
    Following the news, Lucy took to her Instagram page to tell fans the programme had been, “one of the highlights of my life,” and a, “joy from top to bottom”.
    “This is a job that has broken my heart multiple times… It will take some time to get over it,” Lucy said, admitting the video was one of several takes as she’d been a “blubbering mess”.
    “I just wanted you all to hear that the show is not coming back and that sucks, but I’ll hold my head high. Who knows what I’ll do next. We’ll see,” she concluded.

    Despite the cancellation, Deadline reported that Warner Bros. Television, the studio behind the show, is looking for a new home for the series. According to the website, the best option is HBO Max, as “Katy Keene” is already streamed on the service.
    Options on the cast had previously been extended until July 31, which means Warner Bros. has until then to find a new network for the show. After that, the actors and crew involved in the show will be allowed to look for new jobs.

    Ben Affleck Reportedly Signs a Deal to Return as Batman

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The project he’s possibly involved in is not specified yet, but it’s said that the ‘Justice League’ actor may appear in future Zack Snyder projects that can range from cameos, miniseries and feature films.
    Jul 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ben Affleck may slip into his Batman cowl yet again. The actor, who last portrayed the Caped Crusader in 2017’s “Justice League”, is rumored to reprise the role in future projects which will see Zack Snyder at the helm.
    According to The Culture Nerd, the 47-year-old actor has signed a deal with Warner Bros. to re-team up with the filmmaker in the latter’s future projects that are backed up by HBO Max, AT&T and WarnerMedia. It’s not specified what there projects are, but it’s said that they can range from cameos, miniseries and full-length feature films through HBO Max.
    While the news should be taken with a grain of salt since there’s no confirmation from WB yet, it is believed that the studio will make an official announcement regarding Affleck’s return as Batman at either Justice Con, which will take place from July 25-26, or DC Fandome set to be held on August 22. TCN also claims that two other outlets, La Hoguera de Gotham and Snydercut214, have been hearing the same story.
    Affleck was initially tapped to star in a standalone Batman film with him at the helm. After stepping down from the directing duty in 2017, he bid farewell to the character in January 2019 while he remained supportive of Matt Reeves’ project. “Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life,” he tweeted at the time.
    Robert Pattinson has since been cast to lead “The Batman”, which will focus on a younger Bruce Wayne. The movie began principal photography in January of this year in London, before the production was shut down in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    After the British government gave the green light for high-end TV and film productions to resume shooting in May, under the condition that employers put coronavirus safety measures in place, the movie was scheduled to resume the filming around July.
