Ryan Coogler Refuses to Pull 'Black Panther 2' Out of Georgia Over Repressive Voting Laws
WENN
The Marvel director defends himself for continuing the production of the ‘Black Panther’ sequel in Georgia as some Hollywood projects were pulled out of the state due to new voting laws.
Apr 17, 2021
AceShowbiz –
Filmmaker Ryan Coogler has stunned civil rights activists by announcing he won’t be pulling the “Black Panther” sequel out of Georgia.Producers and directors of several projects have opted not to shoot in the state following the passage of repressive new election laws, which restrict the rights of African-Americans in particular, but Coogler has announced he won’t be relocating because the decision will directly affect crew members in Georgia.
A statement from the moviemaker reads, “The fight for full enfranchisement is fundamental to the African-American struggle in this country and to this country’s claim to functioning democracy. As an African-American, and as a citizen, I oppose all attempts, explicit and otherwise, to shrink the electorate and reduce access to the ballot.”

“I say this as I return to Georgia, a state that holds a special place in my heart. I lived in Atlanta for eight months while filming my last movie. I have long looked forward to returning. But, when I was informed of the passage of SB202 in the state, and its ramifications for the state’s voters, I was profoundly disappointed.”
“While I wished to turn my concern into action, I could not do so without first being educated on the specifics of Georgia. Having now spoken with voting rights activists in the state, I have come to understand that many of the people employed by my film, including all the local vendors and businesses we engage, are the very same people who will bear the brunt of SB202. For those reasons, I will not be engaging in a boycott of Georgia.”
“What I will be doing is using my voice to emphasize the effects of SB202, it’s shameful roots in Jim Crow (sic), and doing all I can to support organizations fighting voter suppression here in the state.”

Kourtney Kardashian claims “no one” initially wanted to pick up her family’s hit reality TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”.The Poosh mogul and her family have all become global stars on the back of the hit programme, but Kourtney has claimed that TV companies were reluctant to support the idea to begin with.
She said, “They came to the store and the girl was like, ‘Oh my God, you and your sisters! This is everything.’ ”
“So then we started trying to pitch a show, like, about the sisters. I remember we went to E!, we went to everything – I think no one wanted it or something.”
Kourtney revealed that a meeting between Kris Jenner and Ryan Seacrest played a big part in the show coming to fruition.

She told the “Emergency Contact” podcast, “They introduced Ryan to my mum and then we made a reel, and it just was picked up right away.”
“I think something happened with like, Lindsay Lohan’s show and they needed filler, and so they were like, ‘Oh, this is going to be a one-season thing.’ ”
“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” is set to end later this year, but the hit series has transformed the lives of the Kardashian/Jenner family, helping to make the likes of Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe household names around the world.
Revealing how the show has evolved over the years, Kourtney added, “It’s hard when you first start filming because I would think about like, ‘Oh my God, what did I say? What did I do?’ ”
“But then I didn’t realise how little of it is actually used, and that you also don’t know how editors are going to edit it and make you look, or what the intention is. I think once we started seeing edits, I felt more comfortable.”

Page, who portrayed Duke of Hastings Simon Basset on the series, left the show just after one season. When speaking to Variety, he acknowledged that his time on the show was meant to be short-lived. He first elaborated, “It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end – give us a year.”
Although he knew that his decision had upsetted many, the 31-year-old believed that “the audience knows the arc completes.” He continued, “They come in knowing that, so you can tie people in emotional knots because they have that reassurance that we’re going to come out and we’re going to have the marriage and the baby.”
Before ending his message, Page wishes “Bridgerton” can maintain its success. “I have nothing but excitement for ‘Bridgerton’ continuing to steam train off and conquer the globe,” he claimed. “But there is also value in completing these arcs and sticking the landing.”

Having been premiered at Venice Film Festival in 2020, the new comedy from director Gia Coppola delves deep into the seedier side of social media and viral celebrities.

AceShowbiz –
Andrew Garfield and Maya Hawke have landed lead roles in Gia Coppola’s new comedy, which skewers YouTube culture.The director daughter of revered filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola has dropped a new trailer for “Mainstream”, and it’s pretty clear social influencers the Paul brothers, Logan Paul and Jake Paul, inspired Garfield’s role – his character, Link, looks and sounds just like the cocky blonds.
The siblings rose to fame on the video streaming platform and are now punching their way to new careers as boxers.
Andrew’s character in “Mainstream” also becomes famous fast when he creates a social media collective, No One Special, with “Stranger Things” star Maya’s Frankie and Nat Wolff’s Jake.

The real Jake Paul also makes a cameo appearance, as do fellow social media personalities Juanpa Zurita and Patrick Starrr.
“Mainstream”, which delves deep into the seedier side of social media and viral celebrities, had its premiere at last year’s (2020) Venice Film Festival in Italy and will hit U.S. cinemas and video on demand platforms on May 7.
Speaking about the movie, Coppola told Deadline in August 2020 that it was partly inspired by her love for Elia Kazan’s 1957 film “A Face in the Crowd”. She explained, “I connected with it from a female point of view like losing your instincts and morals and getting overshadowed because you want to be loved and to love… Then you put that with someone and the dangers that can come along with that.”
Producer Fred Berger, in the meantime, described the movie as a “cautionary tale that will spark debate. It points a mirror at the audience in terms of how we engage with other people and how we engage with social media and react to incentives that are subliminally sent to us all day long.”
