    Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter Go to Prison in First 'Bill and Ted Face the Music' Trailer

    [embedded content]

    William ‘Bill’ S. Preston Esq. and Theodore ‘Ted’ Logan meet a shocking, alternate version of themselves as they time travel to the future to ‘steal’ a song that will save the world.
    Jun 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The first official trailer of “Bill & Ted Face the Music” is here for fans’ viewing pleasure. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reprise their roles as William “Bill” S. Preston Esq. and Theodore “Ted” Logan, respectively, who go on a mission to save the world.
    The video begins as the duo are summoned by a floating, robed council of future people, who try to hold them accountable of their promise to unite all people in peace and harmony with their music. Instead of writing the song that will change the world, they decide to steal it from their future selves.
    “Bill, we’ve spent our whole life trying to write the song that will unite the world,” Ted says in the video. “Why can’t we just go to the future when we have written it?” Bill continues his friend, “And take it from ourselves!” But Ted seems to battle his own idea, “But isn’t that stealing?” Bill argues, “How is that stealing if we’re stealing it from ourselves, dude?”
    So it begins their new time-traveling journey that brings him to meet an alternate and shocking version of themselves, Prison Bill and Prison Ted, who are buffed and clad in tattoos.
    Bill and Ted will be joined by their daughters this time, played by Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine, as well as new historical figures, familiar faces and a few music legends. Meanwhile, William Sadler returns as Grim Reaper.
    Directed by Dean Parisot (“Galaxy Quest”), the sci-fi comedy film also stars Kid Cudi, Kristen Schaal, Holland Taylor, Jillian Bell, Anthony Carrigan, Jayma Mays, Erinn Hays, Hal Landon Jr., Amy Stotch and Beck Bennett among others. The new “Bill & Ted” sequel is scheduled to open in theaters on August 21.

    Unexpected Death on 'Ozark' Season 3 Finale Shocks Janet McTeer's Co-Stars

    Netflix

    During a recent SAG Foundation Conversations panel, the actress portraying Helen Pierce admits while she knew the shot-to-death scene since the beginning, she still found it difficult.
    Jun 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The death of Janet McTeer’s character in the latest season of Netflix hit “Ozark” was so unexpected even her castmates didn’t see it coming.
    McTeer’s ambitious, scheming lawyer, Helen Pierce, was shot in the head in the season three finale, which debuted on the streaming service at the end of March, stunning fans of the drug drama.
    And the actress’ co-stars admit they too were shocked when they first realized McTeer wouldn’t be joining them for season four.
    Julia Garner says, “I remember reading that scene. I had to read it three times because I couldn’t believe it! Wait, what?”
    McTeer admits getting ready to be shot in the head at close range was difficult. “I knew it was gonna happen from the moment I signed my contract,” she said during a recent SAG Foundation Conversations panel. “When we came to do it I think we rehearsed it, like, 50 times over multiple days because if you could imagine the reset in between all of that would’ve taken a very long time. All the things that you have to take off and put on again.”
    [embedded content]
    “The actual bit we shot once. The thing that’s really fun to do in a scene like that is to be a red herring, so you think you’ve got the chance to say something else or my expectation of the scene is to be happy, so you mislead the audience into thinking something else might happen. So I tried to look as relaxed, slightly arrogant and slightly, ‘I know what I’m going to say next’, and then ‘boom.’ ”

    Jun 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Anna Kendrick had a miserable time shooting the “Twilight” series in Oregon, confessing she was so wet and cold all the time she wanted to kill her castmates.
    The actress has opened up about her experiences on the set of the films, in which she played high school student Jessica Stanley, in a new Vanity Fair interview and admits she doesn’t have great memories.
    “The first movie we filmed in Portland, Oregon, and I just remember being so cold and miserable… my Converse (sneakers) being completely soaked through and (I was) feeling like, ‘You know, this is a really great group of people and I’m sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone’,” Anna explains.
    [embedded content]
    “Although, it was also kind of bonding. There was something about it, like, if you go through some trauma event. Like you imagine people who survive a hostage situation, and you’re kind of bonded for life.”

    'The Challenge': MTV Fires Dee Nguyen Due to Black Lives Matter Remarks

    MTV

    Nguyen, who stars in season 35, is under fire over now-deleted tweets which prompt her fellow ‘The Challenge’ cast members, Swaggy C and Bayleigh Dayton, to take aim at her on Twitter.
    Jun 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Season 35 of “The Challenge” will be going forward without cast member Dee Nguyen. MTV has decided to cut ties with her following insensitive comments she made about the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
    “As a result of Dee Nguyen’s offensive comments about the Black Lives Matter movement, MTV and Bunim/Murray Productions have severed ties with her,” MTV and Bunim/Murray said in a joint statement. “Out of respect for the competition and other Challengers, MTV will air the season as planned. Dee Nguyen will not appear in the reunion to be filmed at a later date. MTV and Bunim/Murray Productions strongly condemn systemic racism and stand with those raising their voices against injustice.”
    Nguyen was under fire over now-deleted tweets which read, “Idk why some of u think I’m anti BLM. I’ve been saying that since the day I lost my virginity.” Additionally, she allegedly wrote in an Instagram comment underneath post about George, “People die every f***ing day.”
    Among the most vocal critics were Nguyen’s fellow “The Challenge” cast members. “THIS IS NOT HOW YOU SUPPORT BLM. I’m disgusted and disappointed. THIS IS NOT A TREND. THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH FOR US. Posting for clout about the death of black people? Shame on you @deenguyenMTV,” Bayleigh Dayton blasted Nguyen.
    Meanwhile, Swaggy C claimed, “Dee acts like a villain on social media then calls every cast member crying her eyes out EVERY DAY saying she’s struggling & the fans hate her and she has to ‘play the part of a b***h.’ Fakest person on the cast by far.” He also accused Nguyen of using the Black Lives Matter movement “for clout.”
    Following the backlash, Nguyen apologized on Instagram on Tuesday, June 9. “The last 24hrs have made me realised what is important and that is forgiveness,” she shared. “I would like to offer my sincerest apology to my colleagues to whom I have hurt directly and indirectly due to my insensitive remarks. Let me be clear I am a POC that cares about BLM. I believe in this movement and I’m stepping away from social media to focus on my wellbeing and mental health. This is not a goodbye, it’s a I will see you again.”

    “To my fans thank you for believing in me and for your support. It helps. I see every single one of you and I remember your stories. Stay strong and safe my friends,” she concluded.

    Tom Cruise Dodges Britain's New Quarantine Rule for 'Mission: Impossible VII' Filming

    WENN

    The ‘Top Gun’ actor is believed to have arrived in the country through Biggin Hill airport outside of London just hours before the new measures for visitors came into play.
    Jun 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise has reportedly side-stepped the British Government’s new quarantine measures by flying into the U.K. just hours before new rules for visitors came into play.
    Cruise is believed to have landed at Biggin Hill airport outside of London on Sunday, June 07 ahead of resuming filming on “Mission: Impossible VII” – just hours before U.K. government rules requiring anyone entering the country to spend 14 days in isolation came into effect.
    According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the “Top Gun” star beat the new quarantine rules, and is now free to resume filming of the new “Mission: Impossible” movie at the blockbuster’s set at an abandoned RAF base in rural Oxfordshire.
    A source told the publication: “It’s no accident Tom arrived on Sunday night – they didn’t want their leading man locked away on his own for 14 days.”
    “There have already been so many delays to the film and everyone is keen to get it up and running at the first possible second – so slipping in before the quarantine rules came in on Monday made sense. Hopefully it will mean the film can get back on track and finished without any more delays.”
    After arriving on the 11-hour flight from Clearwater, Florida, the 57-year-old was whisked away to luxury rented accommodation in the capital – and will use a helicopter to travel to and from the set during filming breaks.
    Shooting on the latest instalment in the action franchise was halted in February, after coronavirus outbreaks prevented filming in Venice, Italy.
    Movie bosses have taken over an old Royal Air Force (RAF) site in Oxfordshire where they are reportedly building sets, and a village of high-end trailers so Cruise and the rest of the cast can live there in a pandemic-proof bubble while shooting.
