    Tom Holland Rules Out Doing 'Back to the Future' Remake

    YouTube/EZRyderX47

    The ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ actor has no plan to appear in a remake of the classic movie after his face was digitally used to replace the original actor Michael J. Fox in a viral video.
    Feb 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tom Holland has ruled out appearing in a remake of “Back to the Future” as it’s already a “perfect movie.”
    The 23-year-old star was the centre of a viral “deepfake” video reimagining the 1985 time-travel comedy, which used digital technology to map Holland’s face onto Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly, and Robert Downey Jr.’s face onto Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown.
    While the clip sparked a resurged interest in a revival, the “Spider-Man: Homecoming” actor insisted he’s not on board with the idea.

    “I would not be interested because that is a perfect movie,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
    He went on to explain that playing the character would also be redundant when it came to his own body of work.
    “When I first got Spider-Man, my goal was to be my generation’s Marty McFly,” Holland explained. “When I was on the press tour, a journalist said to me, ‘You realise you’re like Marty McFly in this movie?’ And I was like, ‘(OK!) Done.’ ”
    [embedded content]
    Director Robert Zemeckis has previously branded talk of a remake “outrageous,” telling Britain’s The Daily Telegraph newspaper, “Oh, God no… That can’t happen until both Bob (Gale, screenwriter) and I are dead. And then I’m sure they’ll do it, unless there’s a way our estates can stop it.”
    In accordance with the contracts the pair signed, the two men have the final say on the production of any “Back to the Future”-related films for as long as they live.
    The increased interest in the franchise comes ahead of the launch of “Back to the Future: The Musical” at Manchester Opera House in the U.K. on Thursday.

    Lark Voorhies Felt Hurt by 'Saved by the Bell' Reboot Snub

    Instagram

    The Lisa Marie Turtle depicter felt sidelined by her former co-stars for being excluded from the reboot project and other cast member celebratory events.
    Feb 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lark Voorhies was left feeling “slighted and hurt” after learning she’d not been invited to take part in the reboot of her much-loved TV show “Saved by the Bell”.
    The 45-year-old actress starred as the fashion-forward Lisa Turtle in 86 episodes of the programme from 1989 to 1992.
    But when it came to rebooting the series, Lark wasn’t included – despite her former co-stars Tiffani Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar all returning.
    Reflecting on the snub on “The Dr. Oz Show” on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, Lark, who was primarily on the programme to talk about her bipolar diagnosis, read a passage from one of her journals, sharing, “I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the Saved by the Bell reunion, as well as other cast members events.”
    “Yet, of course, I also realised that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision. With that in mind, I am truly thankful for having had the chance to work on a show that has been so successful.”
    Lark has also been excluded from numerous bonding events her castmates have had since the show ended, such as a dinner last year 2019 to celebrate “30 years of friendship.”
    And on being left out of such social occasions, the screen star mused, “They have the right to do that and they’re happy in their element and they can have it, certainly… (But) family isn’t kept complete without its lead.”
    Dustin Diamond, who played Screech in the teen TV show, is also not expected to be part of the reboot.
    The “Saved by the Bell” revival will air on NBC’s planned streaming service, Peacock.

Nick Cannon or Bow Wow,” read the caption in a picture featuring movie posters which had them in it. “@nickcannon hands down drumline alone beats everything #bowwow has what’s your thoughts,” the fan account, which goes by recklezztv, wrote in the caption on Tuesday, February 18.

I dont see kids wearing band gear as outfits. Sorry dawg. But everyone has their opinion. But the movies i put out had a lot of weight.. ALOT.”
    Most fans seemingly echoed the sentiment. “Bow wow hands down and yall left off ‘Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift’ Bow Wow was in and on the cover of,” one fan noted. “Bow got this one,nick just saved more money,” someone else added while person admitted to be a fan of Bow Wow’s “Lottery Ticket” and “Roll Bounce”.
    Nick wasn’t there to share his feelings but his fans were there defend his movies. “I give the SLIGHT edge to Nick cannon. ‘Like Mike’ was fictional and although it made me want to ball I knew I would only go so far. ‘Drumline’ fasho played a part of my decision to go to college which got me to where I am today. I couldn’t wait for the dorm life. ‘Love’ don’t cost a thing and ‘Roll bounce’ are a tie,” a Nick fan shared.

    Ben Affleck Dropped Out of 'The Batman' Over Fears of Alcohol Relapse

    Instagram

    The Bruce Wayne depicter in ‘Justice League’ reveals in a new interview the real reason why he stepped away from the role, saying that he was told ‘you’ll drink yourself to death’ if he did the Batman solo movie.
    Feb 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A year after confirming his departure from “The Batman”, Ben Affleck has explained the real reason why he dropped out of the movie. Speaking in a new interview, the 47-year-old actor reveals he made the decision out of fear that the role would mess with his commitment to staying sober after several rehab stints for his alcoholism.
    “I showed somebody ‘The Batman’ script,” Affleck, who was at one point attached to write and direct the Batman solo movie, tells the New York Times. “They said, ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went though again.’ ”
    Affleck first starred as the Caped Crusader in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”. In the same year, he made a cameo appearance in “Suicide Squad” and reprised the role in 2017’s “Justice League”.
    He stepped down as director and writer of “The Batman” in 2017, handing over the duty to Matt Reeves, but it’s not until early 2019 that he confirmed he’s done playing the Dark Knight. Reeves later cast Robert Pattinson as the young version of Bruce Wayne in his upcoming movie.
    Stopping by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last year, Affleck told the host that he left the project as he felt he would struggle to do the iconic comic book character justice. “I tried to direct a version of (‘Batman’), (I) worked with a really good screenwriter, but kinda just couldn’t come up with a version,” he said to Jimmy Kimmel. “Couldn’t crack it.”
    During the interview with the New York Times, Affleck also talks about his long battle with alcoholism. “The Way Back” star credits fellow Hollywood stars Bradley Cooper and Robert Downey Jr. for helping him on his journey to sobriety and adds, “One of the things about recovery that I think people sometimes overlook is the fact that it inculcates certain values. Be honest. Be accountable. Help other people. Apologize when you’re wrong.”
