    Tom Cruise's Outer Space-Shot Movie Finds Its Director in Doug Liman

    WENN

    The ambitious film project, which is masterminded by Elon Musk with his SpaceX partners and officials at NASA, has had its first draft of the screenplay written by the ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ helmer.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Doug Liman is taking a leap of faith with Tom Cruise and Elon Musk by signing up to make movie history with a shoot in space.
    Liman, who directed Cruise in “American Made” and “Edge of Tomorrow”, will accompany the action man on the out-of-this-world action adventure, which Musk is masterminding with his SpaceX partners and officials at NASA.
    The director has written the first draft of the screenplay and he will produce along with Cruise, according to Deadline.
    More information about the ambitious project will be available in the coming days following the launch of Musk’s two-man SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which will put America back into space for the first time in almost a decade, on Wednesday, May 27.
    Cruise has work to finish before he can get started on the Musk project – he and director Christopher McQuarrie are keen to get back to work on the seventh “Mission: Impossible” movie after the coronavirus pandemic shut down filming just before it was scheduled to start in March (20).
    As a result of the delay, Nicholas Hoult has been forced to exit the blockbuster and last week Esai Morales was hired as the film’s villain.

    Tom Holland Reportedly Pitches Tobey Maguire as MCU's Uncle Ben

    WENN

    The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ actor is said to be pushing for the star of Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy to play Peter Parker’s uncle in flashback scene(s).
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tobey Maguire could make his return to the “Spider-Man” franchise in one way or another. Words are Tom Holland, the latest actor who takes the reign as the web-slinger, is pushing for the 44-year-old actor play Uncle Ben in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
    According to We Got This Covered’s trusted sources, the British actor is pitching the idea for the star of Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trilogy, to appear as Peter Parker’s uncle in flashback scene(s) at some point in the currently ongoing “Spider-Man” franchise. It’s unknown, though, if Maguire is up for Holland’s idea as the site notes that there are many ideas being tossed around right now, without any guarantee which one(s) will be making the cut.
    In the meantime, there’s also report that Marvel and Sony are planning a live-action “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, with Maguire returning as the titular character. According to the Lords of the Long Box YouTube channel, the project is proposed as a way to give the original Spider-Man depicter a farewell similar to the farewell Robert Downey Jr. received in “Avengers: Endgame”.
    The movie allegedly “will also be a chance for director Sam Raimi to say good-bye to the beloved version of his character.” It is said that the movie’s plot will serve as the introduction of the live-action version of the Miles Morales Spider-Man.
    Sony has the rights to Spider-Man, though the studio has agreed to work with Marvel Studios again for the follow-up to “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. The rumor about the live-action “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, however, makes it sound as if Marvel will be involved in the project as well.
    Raimi, who directed Maguire in three “Spider-Man” movies from 2002 until 2007, initially planned to make two more sequels, but walked away from the franchise after he could not find a satisfactory script. He is now set to make his return to the superhero scene again after signing up to direct “Doctor Strange” sequel, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.

    'Logan' Director Gets Candid About Controversial Decision to Kill Wolverine

    WENN

    When talking about how he first pitched the idea about the tragic death of Hugh Jackman’s mutant hero, director James Mangold explains why he believed such ending was entirely necessary.
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – James Mangold didn’t hesitate too much when it came to killing off Wolverine in his film “Logan”, because he knew the final movie in the franchise had to bring some “closure” to the embattled mutant’s story.
    Hugh Jackman reprised the role of the clawed hero for one final time in the 2017 film, which ended with his alter ego’s tragic death.
    While the plot came as a huge shock to fans, many of whom complained at the way the film had ended, director Mangold has now defended his decision, insisting Wolverine’s death was entirely necessary.
    Speaking to ComicBook.com about how he first pitched the idea of the controversial conclusion, Mangold explained: “The process is a lot less of a committee than you’d think. It was really Hugh (Jackman) and I at first. It seemed logical, that if it were going to be his last film, that he’s either going to ride off onto the horizon or die, that you need to have some kind of curtain on his story.”
    “You either have the Shane (1953 Western) ending where he rides off on the mountain to parts unknown, which had largely been the way his character was resolved in every preceding movie, or you’d kill him.”
    “But the reason the choice was at our feet was because you needed the sense of closure. You needed some sense of an ending if you were going to end, if you were dealing with the legacy of Hugh’s many performances and many films, and trying to set this part in some definitive way.”
    Jackman starred as Wolverine for 17 years before his final outing in 2017, with his first appearance coming in “X-Men” back in 2000.
    However, in a previous interview, the actor insisted it was “time” for him to bid farewell to the character and the franchise as a whole.
    “It’s just a matter of time. It’s a bit like you’re at the greatest party you’ve ever been at, you’ve been dancing for an hour and a half, and then you’re just like ‘It’s time, ok. If I stay any longer, it’s gonna get ugly.’ It’s like, it’s time,” he said.

    'Deadpool' Creator Slams Disney With Beastly Mickey Mouse Artwork

    Instagram

    Rob Liefeld shares an artwork that shows the cartoon character holding a decapitated head of Deadpool, and another which features the Merc with a Mouth holding a dead Mickey Mouse.
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rob Liefeld has once again taken aim at Disney over the lack of plan for “Deadpool 3”. The creator of the comic book character threw shade at the Mouse House by sharing some gruesome Mickey Mouse artworks on his Instagram Stories.
    One of the fan art depicts Ryan Reynolds’ character holding a dead Mickey Mouse by the tail as he walks away from a Hollywood in flames. The popular cartoon character sports a bullet wound on the head, apparently having been shot by the Merc with a Mouth who is holding a gun in his other hand.

    Another fan art depicts the other way around. The second image shows a beastly Mickey House holding a decapitated head of Deadpool, whose mouth is sealed with a duct-tape which has Walt Disney’s logo on it. The company’s most popular character appears to be the executioner as he also wields a sword.

    The comic book writer also posted an artwork which depicts Mickey Mouse as Deadpool, twisting the character’s name into Dead Mouse. Another artwork mashes up Deadpool’s logo with Mickey’s head.

    Liefeld left all those images captionless, but considering his recent comments about the lack of progress being made on “Deadpool 3”, it’s suffice to say that he used the artwork to express his displease at how Disney handles the franchise. “Know what their plan for Deadpool is right now? Goose egg. Zero. Zero!” he said earlier this month, believing that the third movie wouldn’t come out in the next five years.
    He previously also said on ComicBook.com’s “Talking Shop”, “I blame Marvel…blame Marvel that [‘ Deadpool 3’] hasn’t happened yet. They are the reason it isn’t happening. Whatever conundrum or it didn’t fit into your master plan, just commission it. Okay, commission it.”
    Ryan Reynolds, on the contrary, remains optimistic about the future of his character. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” the Canadian actor said about the third movie on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” back in December. He also gushed about his character joining the MCU, “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kind of crazy.”

    'RHOA': Kandi Burruss Says She Doesn't Talk to NeNe Leakes After Her Abrupt Exit During Reunion

    Instagram

    Additionally, the Xscape singer explains that the producers edited out NeNe’s call in part 3 of season 12 reunion of the Bravo reality show following her premature exit.
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kandi Burruss offers some more details about NeNe Leakes’ premature exit during ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 12 reunion. Speaking to HollywoodLife.com in an episode of TVTalk on Instagram Live, Kandi shared what wasn’t shown on the show following NeNe’s exit.
    “You saw [Marlo Hampton] did try to reach out to her, [Porsha Williams] did, but she did not come back to the computer but she was calling us on speakerphone,” the Xscape singer said. “Now what they didn’t show you [on TV] was we could actually hear what she was saying [at the time of filming], but they did not play her voice [from] the phone [on TV].”
    As for why the producers decided to edit it out, Kandi shared, “I [don’t] know why they didn’t want to play what she was saying.”
    NeNe left the reunion at the end of Part 2, and she tried to talk to everyone on speakerphone during a private phone call with Porsha. “Why are you calling us on speaker phone, but you don’t want to talk to us [on video]? It didn’t make sense,” Kandi stated. “So that was what you didn’t see was that we were actually able to hear her talking on the speakerphone for a short period of time until [Andy Cohen] was like, ‘No, uh uh, we’re just going to go forward [without her].’ ”
    Kandi went on saying that filming the reunion was exhausting. “Overall, I think that the funny thing was all of us were exhausted. We were pretty much exhausted after the reunion,” she divulged.

    Following the reunion, Kandi shared that she didn’t keep in contact with other ladies. “We didn’t talk that much,” she explained. “I briefly spoke to Marlo, I think, and I briefly spoke to Kenya for a short period of time, but really, everybody was just so exhausted. Sitting in front of a computer all day is exhausting. Since the reunion, NeNe and I haven’t talked at all.”
