    Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman' Finally Wraps Up Production After COVID-19 Delays

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    After series of delays due to coronavirus, the film that is scheduled to be released on March 4, 2022, finally completed its production with director Matt Reeves sharing the news on Twitter.

    Mar 15, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Get ready to see Robert Pattinson on black fitted costume. After series of production delays due to pandemic, filming on “The Batman” has eventually finished. The good news was shared by Matt Reeves on his Twitter page.
    “#LastDay #TheBatman cc: @GreigfraserD,” Matt wrote. Accompanying the short, yet meaningful caption, the 54-year-old director also posted a photo of clapperboard. Fans were excited about the announcement.

    Matt Reeves announced ‘The Batman’ filming has wrapped up.
    “YESSS WE LOVE TO SEE IT! NOW BRING ON BATTINSON,” one Twitter comment read. Another then added, “I believe in Matt Reeves and he has the creative vision and direction to truly bring life to this universe. With Robert Pattinson, the cast, and everyone who has dedicated their time to this film, I truly believe this is going to be a SUPERB Batman film!”

    Besides Matt, Jeffrey Wright, who took the role of Jim Gordon, also posted on his Instagram page, “Jim Gordon Gordon out. …for now. One year exactly after the shutdown. Some ride.” Jeffrey added the artistry feel by sharing portrait painting by @arvarvart, calling it “sweet piece.”

    The filming on the upcoming Batman big-screen project was suspended for six months in March last year, amidst the global pandemic as most part of the world was locked down. Once the filming resumed, it was once again postponed because Robert was reportedly positive for the virus in September.
    And it didn’t stop there. In November last year, the production must be halted once more after a stuntman was forced to isolate along with his bubble due to coronavirus.
    “The Batman” is scheduled to be released on March 4, 2022. Besides featuring Robert Pattinson and Jeffrey Wright, the movie also stars Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle or Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot or Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton or Riddler, John Turturro as a Gotham crime lord, and Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson, Gotham’s district attorney.

    'The Talk' Put on a Break Following Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood's Argument

    WENN/Instar

    While Sheryl describes their heated exchange as a ‘blessing,’ the wife of Ozzy Osbourne denies calling former co-host Holly Robinson Peete ‘too ghetto’ for the morning show.

    Mar 15, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Talk” has paused its production. After Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood had an on-air debate over Piers Morgan’s controversial comments about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, the daytime talk show was reported to be put on a brief hiatus.
    The staff of “The Talk” were informed on Sunday, March 14 that the Monday, March 15 and Tuesday, March 16 live episodes are canceled. Elizabeth Vargas and Carly Pearce were scheduled as guests respectively. The show is said to be making its on-air return on Wednesday, March 17.
    Two days prior, CBS told Deadline that the network is investigating Sharon and Sheryl’s heated exchange. “We are committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace,” the statement read. “All matters related to the Wednesday episode of The Talk are currently under internal review.”
    Sharon and co-host Sheryl got into heated arguments over the former’s support for Piers in the show’s Wednesday, 10 March episode. Sheryl first asked Sharon, “What would you say to people who may feel that while you’re standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don’t agree.”

    Responding to the question, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne replied, “I don’t know what he’s uttered that’s racist. I’m not trying to slide out of this one. I don’t know. Tell me what has he uttered that’s racist.” She further argued, “I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist.”
    Two days afterwards, Sheryl addressed the debate when speaking on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show”. She said, “Everybody, especially people of color, (goes) through this all the time, there’s just no cameras pointing at you. Nobody gets to see it, nobody knows it. And today was my day and I accept the blessing of the lesson.”
    While Sharon has yet to weigh in on the argument with Sheryl, she has denied the latest accusation that she called former co-host Holly Robinson Peete “too ghetto” for “The Talk”. The mother of Kelly Osbourne tweeted, “Never in my life did I utter the words that Holly was ‘too ghetto’ to be on the Talk, as well as not having her fired.”

    Sharon Osbourne denied calling former co-host Holly Robinson Peete ‘too ghetto’ for ‘The Talk’.
    Sharon’s tweet came after Holly alleged that she was involved in her firing from the show. “I’m old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too ‘ghetto’ for #theTalk…then I was gone,” the 56-year-old tweeted on March 12. “I bring this up now [because] I was mortified watching the disrespectful, condescending tone she took w/her co-host, who remained calm & respectful because…she HAD to.”

    Mar 15, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Avengers: Endgame” filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo have bowed down to fellow director James Cameron after his “Avatar” blockbuster reclaimed the title as the highest-grossing movie release in global box office history.
    The final “The Avengers” movie previously knocked “Avatar” off the top spot in July, 2019, but on Saturday, March 13, the 2009 sci-fi epic edged past “Endgame”‘s $2.79 billion takings to retake pole position, thanks to its re-release in China to help boost the box office amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
    By Sunday, “Avatar” had grossed $21.1 million (£15 million) from its weekend relaunch, taking its estimated total takings to $2.81 billion, and the Russo Brothers took to social media to applaud the massive achievement by sharing a piece of artwork which merged Marvel’s “Avengers” logo with that of “Avatar”.
    “Passing the gauntlet back to you… @JamesCameron,” they captioned the post. “Thanks for the beautiful art @Bosslogic.”

    Marvel Studios bosses also marked the occasion by tweeting, “Congratulations to @JimCameron , [producer] @JonLandau , and ALL of Na’vi Nation [‘Avatar’ fans] for reclaiming the box office crown!”

    Referencing an Iron Man/Tony Stark quote in “Endgame”, they added, “We love you 3000. @OfficialAvatar.”
    Cameron has since reposted Marvel’s congratulatory note, replying with a blue heart emoji.

    James Cameron sent love to Marvel Studios for applauding ‘Avatar’ box office feat.
    Meanwhile, “Avatar” bosses have expressed their gratitude to movie-goers for their continued support of the franchise as they await the release of the long-anticipated sequel next year (2022).

    “Irayo [thank you] to our fans in China for coming out to see “Avatar” on the big screen this weekend!” they tweeted. “This crown belongs to Na’vi Nation – it couldn’t have happened without you.”

    'Mamma Mia!' Returning to Stage for Limited Run

    YouTube

    The hit musical play based on ABBA’s songs is scheduled to return to the live stage with full production for a series of performances this coming summer.

    Mar 14, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Hit ABBA musical “Mamma Mia!” is returning for 23 performances in Leeds, England.
    Producer Judy Craymer tells the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye the full production will take place on a specially erected stage in the 100-acre grounds of Harewood House in August (21).
    It marks the first opportunity for people to see the musical since its West End and touring versions closed in the U.K. a year ago, amid the pandemic.
    Shows will take place between 13 and 30 August, with the cast formed from members of the U.K. and international touring troupe. Craymer has promised a “mega-mix extraordinaire” finale, devised by choreographer Anthony Van Laast.

    The show will be able to cater for 1,800 people per performance, with Craymer insisting, “We are socially distanced, by the nature of the event.”
    “Mamma Mia!” is set to re-open at the Novello Theatre in London as early as September, without social distancing, once England’s Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
    “We can’t play to 50 per cent capacity,” she explained. “We’re on our knees; big and small producers.”
    A movie adaptation of the same name was released back in 2008. It was a huge success with the cast including Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Dominic Cooper, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, and Colin Firth. It was also critically lauded at the Golden Globes and Grammy Awards.
    A decade later, a sequel “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” was made with the main cast reprising their respective roles.
