    'A Quiet Place 2' Moved Forward From September Release Date to May

    Paramount Pictures

    The sequel to the critically-acclaimed horror movie ‘A Quiet Place’ is now due to scare moviegoers in May after it was previously pushed back to September.

    Mar 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “A Quiet Place 2” is set to hit theatres sooner than expected.
    Filmmaker John Krasinski took to Twitter to share his excitement that the sequel to his 2018 horror flick – which he co-wrote, directed, and starred in alongside his wife Emily Blunt – will now be released on 28 May (21), four months earlier than previously planned.
    The movie was originally due to hit theatres in May 2020, but like most films it was hit by a delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the closure of cinemas.
    “They always say good things come to those who wait. Well… I think we’ve waited long enough,” Krasinski tweeted.
    What’s more, 45 days after its theatrical release, the motion picture will be available to watch on new streaming service, Paramount+.

    The sequel will follow the same family continuing their fight for survival outside of their hometown, and although Krasinski’s character died in the first movie, he will make an appearance in the sequel through flashback sequences.
    Blunt is back as his wife Evelyn Abbott with Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as their kids Regan and Marcus.
    New additions include Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou.
    The first picture proved to be a cultural phenomenon with both critics and audiences, raking in over $340 million (£245 million) worldwide on a budget of less than $20 million (£14 million) and nabbing an Oscar nomination for best sound editing.
    Rumor has it, the movie franchise is getting a spin-off. John Krasinski is reportedly involved as a producer. He also came up with the idea for the new story, but Jeff Nichols is reported to write the script and direct the project.

    Kelly Rowland Hesitant to Watch Britney Documentary Due to Lack of Pop Star's Involvement

    WENN

    The Destiny’s Child singer admits she hasn’t watched the controversial Britney Spears documentary because the Southern Belle was not involved in the film making.

    Mar 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Kelly Rowland is “having a hard time wanting to watch” the recent documentary about Britney Spears’ conservatorship.
    During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” and the programme’s “After Show” on Thursday (04Mar21), Kelly explained that she has some reservations about watching the film because Britney didn’t participate in it herself.
    “I haven’t seen the Britney doc. I’m having a hard time wanting to watch it,” she sighed. “I really respect when artists say, ‘This is a documentary, it’s OK to watch this.’ I respect their space and their privacy and their point of view. And their story, what they feel their story is, from their brains, their hearts their mouths. So, I try and respect that.”
    However, Kelly concluded, “But everybody says they really enjoy it, so that’s great.”

    The Destiny’s Child singer also weighed in on the changing media landscape since Britney’s much-publicised breakdown in 2008, and insisted that social media has a lot more power these days than it ever did back then.
    “Now it’s social media, and social media is people. From her perspective, (the negativity came from) journalists and all these people in the media. But now social media is people. So people need to just be kind. Period,” she said.
    Following the documentary release, Britney received apology from former boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
    The NSYNC member regretted his treatment of Britney and his former Super Bowl collaborator Janet Jackson.
    “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,” he said. “I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.”

    'Pose' Bidding Farewell With Upcoming Third Season

    FX

    Billy Porter and his co-stars won’t be back for another season when the upcoming third installment of their hit television drama series comes to an end.

    Mar 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s hit TV drama “Pose” is to end after its upcoming third season.
    The acclaimed show, starring Billy Porter, will return to the small screen in May for seven final episodes.
    “We got to tell the exact story we wanted, as we wanted to tell it, and I’m incredibly honored and grateful,” co-creator Murphy said in a statement Friday (05Mar21).

    Co-creator Steven Canals adds, ” ‘Write the TV show you want to watch!’ That’s what I was told in 2014, while completing my MFA in screenwriting. At the time we weren’t seeing very many black and Latinx characters – that happened to also be LGBTQ+ – populating screens. And so I wrote the first draft of a pilot the ‘younger me’ deserved.”
    “Pose was conceived as a love letter to the underground N.Y. ballroom community, to my beloved New York, to my queer and trans family, to myself. I, along with my incredible collaborators, never intended on changing the TV landscape. I simply wanted to tell an honest story about family, resilience and love. How fortunate am I to have done that for three seasons.”
    “I’m filled with gratitude to our intrepid writers, cast, crew, and producers who worked tirelessly to make Pose come to life, humbled by our loyal audience, thankful to the ballroom community who trusted us to tell their story, overwhelmed by the critics who warmly embraced us, and forever indebted to Ryan Murphy… for changing my life.”

    'Ginny and Georgia' Star Thanks Fans for Support as Taylor Swift Calls the Show 'Lazy' and 'Sexist'

    Instagram/Ezra Pounds

    Antonia Gentry is grateful for support from her fans after the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker fires back at the actress’ Netflix show for taking a dig at the singer over her love life.

    Mar 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Antonia Gentry, the star of Netflix’s “Ginny & Georgia”, has thanked fans for their support after backlash from a joke referencing Taylor Swift on the show.
    The “Love Story” singer took aim at the programme earlier this week, following the joke, “What do you care? You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.”
    “Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back,” she tweeted. “How about we stop degrading hard-working women by defining this horse s**t as FuNnY.”
    Gentry, who stars as Ginny Miller in the show, didn’t address the Swift situation directly in her lengthy post on Instagram, but instead used the opportunity to thank her devotees for their unwavering support.
    “Thank you for the love and support you have shown me and our show, Ginny and Georgia, over the last week. I never would have imagined something like this as a young girl – that is, having a voice capable of impact,” she wrote.
    “It is so meaningful to see the hundreds of messages from fans in my inbox who feel seen, heard and understood because of the show and its characters. It has also been fun to hear from those who were just happy to be along for an entertaining ride.”

      See also…

    She went on to add that playing Ginny Miller gave her the opportunity to reflect a character that was more true to her own identity than anything she’d seen portrayed on screen before.
    “Finally, a character who was just as confused and imperfect as I was gets a chance to exist. Ginny Miller, though fictional, is a character who reflects all of life’s contradictions and imperfections,” she said.
    “She is a character among many in the show who implicate us all. She shows us our own biases, prejudices and injustices. She loves, she lies and she stands up for what she believes in – even though she may not have all of her facts straight.”
    “She makes mistakes — morally, mentally, physically, emotionally — and not just within herself, but within the broken world she lives in,” Gentry said, saying that she is “delighted” to work with “talented, earnest and honest women who aren’t afraid of pulling back the curtain and exposing all of life’s intricacies — the good and the bad, all with a glass of wine in hand, and a tongue in cheek.”

    Concluding, Gentry thanked “all of the people who have sent hundreds of messages about feeling seen for the first time, whether through Ginny or another character in Ginny and Georgia” for their “voices and inspiration.”

    Mar 5, 2021
