      'Zack Snyder's Justice League' Accidentally Released Early in Place of 'Tom and Jerry'

      by

      HBO Max

      HBO Max users clicking to watch the CGI/live-action comedy film of the famous cartoon duo are surprised that Snyder’s cut of the superhero film plays instead.

      Mar 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” came 10 days early for some unsuspecting HBO Max subscribers. On Monday, March 8, fans were surprised by the sudden arrival of the long-awaited director’s cut of the superhero movie, but they might not get to see it until the end.
      The anticipated four-hour film from Synder was up for at least an hour and accidentally played in place of “Tom & Jerry” on the streaming service. Doug Bass of Charlotte, North Carolina was one of those surprised users and he brought to light the accidental release on Twitter.
      Bass said he just wanted to put the CGI/live-action comedy film for background noise while he worked on Monday afternoon when “The Snyder Cut” played instead. “@hbomax someone’s getting fired…Tom and Jerry this is not…#SnyderCut,” he tweeted.
      He went on gushing about the superhero movie, “The CGI finally rivals that of Marvel and you’re gonna love it. That’s all im saying. No spoilers. Get excited.” While he claimed that he’s “never been a huge DC movie fan,” he raved that “it is the best DC film I’ve ever seen.”

      Bass told Variety about an hour into the feed, he noticed the definition of the image began to degrade, then an error message appeared on his screen and the film disappeared. When he attempted to restart the film, “Tom & Jerry” played instead, suggesting that HBO Max has fixed the error by that time.

      HBO Max user shared a screengrab of ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ accidental debut.
      HBO Max has released a statement on the technical glitch. Seemingly confirming that it’s Snyder’s version that viewers watched, a spokesperson from WarnerMedia said, ” ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ was temporarily available on HBO Max and the error was addressed within minutes.”
      “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” isn’t due until March 18. Snyder’s version of the film will include some new scenes which he filmed, with Jared Leto, Amber Heard and Joe Manganiello reprising their roles as Joker, Mera and Deathstroke respectively.

      ‘Bombay Rose’ Review: Nostalgic Ruminations

It’s as if the director, Gitanjali Rao, sharpens her focus only on the faces of two star-crossed lovers — Salim (voiced by Amit Deondi), a refugee from Kashmir, and Kamala (Cyli Khare), an escaped child bride — who sell flowers on opposite sides of a thoroughfare.As he’s Muslim and she’s Hindi (and still married), their romance mostly exists in their imagination. But it’s in their daydreams that Rao meticulously adds patterned trim to saris and a shine to the spoons, making them rich with details that don’t exist in Salim and Kamala’s hardscrabble lives in this harsh metropolis.Salim pictures himself a swaggering Bollywood hero rescuing his sweetheart from the trafficker who wants to sell her to dubious buyers in Dubai. Kamala imagines them embracing in India’s royal past. And they’re not the only ones dissatisfied with reality. Elsewhere, an older film actress insists on living in her black-and-white heyday, while her suitor, an antiques dealer, laments that young buyers no longer see the value in heirlooms.[embedded content]The nostalgic ruminations of “Bombay Rose” have the feel of one of the vintage music boxes that an actress tuts over while talking to her dead co-star. The movie is lovely, but airless and bolted with scraps that barely hold together.Ironically, Rao’s more contemporary beats wind up being the swooniest: a rainy kiss blocked by a wet car window that allows the couple to slip back out of focus — a nod to Bollywood’s kissing taboo — and the idea that if Salim’s corny, mustachioed movie heroes can’t save the day, perhaps it’s time to believe in a more humble movie heroine.Bombay RoseRated PG-13 for the suggestion of sex work.

      Kelly Macdonald Reveals Which 'Trainspotting' Scene She Filmed While Hungover

      by

      Miramax Films

      Looking back at the role that kicked off her acting career, the actress playing Diane in Danny Boyle’s drugs drama additionally talks about her experience shooting sex scene with Ewan McGregor.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The “Trainspotting” cast was often drunk during filming, according to star Kelly Macdonald. The actress, who played Diane in Danny Boyle’s drugs drama, reveals many of her co-stars were inebriated as cameras rolled.
      “I thought it was OK because everyone else was [drinking],” she told The Guardian. “It was like high school, you just try to fit in. We were just hanging out at the pub. The green room was a little caravan that we were all supposed to sit in. And the sensible people would sit, and the others would go to the local pub.”
      And Kelly admits she had been drinking all day before shooting the film’s famous club scene, when her character met Ewan McGregor’s Renton for the first time. “By the time it came to me doing the talky bit, I was already hungover,” she said.

      Although the actress is proud of the film, she admitted she has only ever seen it once. “I’ve not watched it since the premiere, so I have no idea,” she laughed. “I’m sure I’m quite bad in it, actually.”
      But she will never forget shooting a sex scene with McGregor, adding, “Ewan had done a lot of sex scenes before that, and he was so sweet to me and talked me through it, and made me feel as comfortable as I could be.”
      On her experience working with good directors, Macdonald said, “Oh God, I’ve been so lucky. A lot of it is being in the right place at the right time. I’m quite good at not working for the sake of working, although sometimes it would have benefited me fiscally.”
      “But if my instincts say it’s not for me, then I go with that,” the 45-year-old actress elaborated. “Because the couple of jobs that I’ve done that I’ve not really been right for, and I’ve had that feeling, I’ve generally been correct.”

      Olivia Colman Spills How Mother's Role as NHS District Nurse Connects Her to 'The Father'

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      In the Florian Zeller-directed drama, ‘The Favourite’ actress stars opposite Anthony Hopkins, and deals with the difficulty a daughter faced when her father is diagnosed with dementia.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Olivia Colman feels a special connection to her latest film “The Father”, because her mother worked in geriatric care. The actress stars in the drama alongside Sir Anthony Hopkins, and admits she feels particularly invested in the movie, which chronicles a man struggling with ageing.
      “My mum was a district nurse for the NHS for 40 years, and her passion was always geriatric care,” the Oscar winner tells the BBC. “And I would go in the car with her when it was school holidays or when I was ill and I’d see lonely people in their homes, who didn’t have families. My mum is an ambassador for dementia care, so it’s always been a big part of my family’s life.”

      “The Favourite” star thinks it’s particularly important to show the difficulty families face when a loved one is diagnosed with dementia. “It’s an awful decision to make – to look into your father’s eyes and see fear or confusion,” she adds. “It’s a terrible thing to still want to live your own life, but you have to have your own life. And that was a reason I wanted to play it; I wanted to play all those feelings.”
      Meanwhile, her co-star signed on after being wowed by the script, “It was so powerful, and so simple, so direct, so concise, so compact,” Hopkins says. “I’ve been fortunate, in the last few years I’ve been involved with some wonderful films, but this was really unique.”
      Directed by Florian Zeller, “The Father” follows an ageing man who struggles with memory loss, but rejects all assistance from his daughter and caretaker. It received four nominations, including Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor for Olivia and Anthony respectively, at both 2021 Golden Globes and 2021 Critics Choice Awards.

      'Thor: Love and Thunder' Fans Rave Over Natalie Portman's Ripped Physique in New Set Pics

      by

      Marvel Studios

      The Jane Foster depicter looks jacked as she shows off her muscly arms underneath her burgundy T-shirt while filming the upcoming fourth Thor movie in Australia.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Natalie Portman has shown her muscly transformation for “Thor: Love and Thunder” and fans couldn’t help gushing over it. The Academy Award-winning actress had been training and hitting the gym for months to reprise her role as Jane Foster, and it all paid off.
      The “Black Swan” actress was recently spotted on the set of the upcoming Marvel movie as she continued filming for it in Australia. In some new set photos which have circulated online, the 39-year-old looked jacked as her muscly arms were on display underneath her short-sleeve burgundy T-shirt.
      Impressed by Portman’s ripped physique, a fan gushed on Twitter, “Dang Natalie Portman been hitting the weights big time!” Another quipped, “i would like to formally request for natalie portman to snap me in half.”
      Another had a similar reaction, tweeting, “Finally my long held dream of Natalie Portman lifting me over her head and snapping my back in half like Bane vs Batman seems like a possibility.” A fourth one exclaimed, “That ain’t Natalie Portman, that’s Natalie THORtman! HOLY HELL, SHE’S RIPPED!” Someone else praised Portman’s resemblance to Mighty Thor in the comics, “Natalie Portman really just said Mighty Thor comic accuracy.”

      In related news, a new set video may have hinted at how Jane becomes the Mighty Thor. During the filming set on what looks like a memorial of Odin with the backdrop of the ocean, Jane was spotted looking at the broken pieces of Mjolnir. Thor’s weapon was destroyed into shards by Hela (Cate Blanchett) in “Thor: Ragnarok”.
      Later, Portman’s stunt double was suspended in the air as she filmed a scene where Jane is jolted as if she gets electrocuted. It appears that Jane’s visit to Odin’s memorial triggers some kind of reaction from the Mjolnir shards that gives her both the mythical hammer and the abilities of the Mighty Thor.
      Besides Portman, the fourth installment of the “Thor” film series will see Chris Hemsworth returning as Thor and Tessa Thompson back as Valkyrie. Christian Bale is cast as the villain, Gorr the God Butcher, while Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan and Sean Gunn are reprising their “Guardians of the Galaxy” roles.
      Taika Waititi serves as the director for the movie, which is slated for a May 6, 2022 release in the United States.

      Riz Ahmed Claims 'Sound of Metal' Changes the Way He Looks at Life

      by

      Amazon Studios

      Calling the making of the movie ‘the most challenging, the most immersive, the most intense experience’ of his life, the actor says that it also make him a better listener.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Riz Ahmed doesn’t need the accolades and awards to prove his new film, “Sound of Metal”, is a hit – he knew he was part of something special while he was making the film.
      The actor, who plays a drummer battling the loss of his hearing in the movie, is an early Oscars favorite for Best Actor but his reward for making the film came as he wrapped the project.
      “This film was really the most challenging, the most immersive, the most intense experience of my life and the day we finished I told our director, Darius, if no one sees this film I’m still happy, because it just kind of changed me; it changed all of us…,” Riz tells “Good Morning America”. “It was a labor of love.”
      “It kinda changed the way I look at life, spending so much time with the deaf community, learning [to play] the drums, it opened me up in new ways.”

      “The fact that people are seeing it, let alone responding to it like this, is just the most mind-blowing bonus.”

      And the film made him a better listener, even though he was playing a deaf person.
      “My sign instructor… and the whole deaf community that he introduced me to in New York, I kind of think that they’re the best listeners I’ve ever met, because listening isn’t something you just do with your ears; it’s something you do with your whole body…”
      “On the film set, I was using audio blockers at times for when my character starts to lose his hearing – just to simulate that experience – and it made me listen with my body… The deaf community taught me the true meaning of listening, the true meaning of communication.”

      by

      Fox Searchlight Pictures

      The Frances McDormand-starring drama nabs four trophies, including Best Director for Chloe Zhao, while ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ trails behind with three gongs.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Nomadland” has solidified itself as a strong Oscar contender following its big win at the 26th Critics Choice Awards. The film adaptation of Jessica Bruder’s non-fiction book led the pack of movie winners at the Sunday, March 7 event, nabbing four awards.
      The drama was hailed as Best Picture, edging out other nominees which included “Da 5 Bloods”, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, “Mank”, “Minari” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7” among others. Its lead actress Frances McDormand, however, failed to secure the Best Actress gong, which was won by Carey Mulligan for her performance in “Promising Young Woman”.
      Through “Nomadland”, Chloe Zhao also won her first Critics Choice Award for Best Director, after making history as the second woman and first Asian woman to win the category at the recent Golden Globe Awards. Zhao also won Best Adapted Screenplay for her work on the movie, which earned its fourth award that night in Best Cinematography category for Joshua James Richards.
      Trailing behind “Nomadland” was “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” with three wins. It successfully helped Chadwick Boseman score Best Actor award posthumously and earned Best Costume Design prize for Ann Roth. The third recognition received by the movie was for Best Hair and Makeup.

      Fellow Best Picture nominees “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Minari” landed two awards each. The former got the honor for Best Acting Ensemble as well as Best Editing by Alan Baumgarten (tied with “Sound of Metal” – Mikkel E. G. Nielsen), while the latter was named Best Foreign Language Film and led Alan Kim to win the Best Young Actor/Actress title.
      Best Original Screenplay went to “Promising Young Woman” scribe Emerald Fennell, while “Palm Springs” came out as Best Comedy Movie. “Mank”, which led the nominations with 12, ended up bagging one award for Best Production Design (Donald Graham Burt and Jan Pascale).
      That night also saw Zendaya Coleman being presented with SeeHer Award, in addition to “The Crown” winning big in TV categories. Taye Diggs hosted the Critics Choice Awards for the third consecutive time.
