      Andra Day Still Recovering From Billie Holiday Movie as She Smoked and Drank a Lot During Filming

      by

      Hulu

      The ‘Rise Up’ hitmaker talks about playing the late ‘Strange Fruit’ star in Lee Daniels’ critically-acclaimed movie ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’.

      Feb 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Andra Day is still recovering from her turn as Billie Holiday after taking a deep dive into the jazz and blues singer’s life.
      A huge fan of the “Strange Fruit” icon, Day won over director Lee Daniels at her audition with passion and landed her first acting role in the process, but she admits her film debut in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” has taken its toll on her.
      “There’s still a lot that I am working out in me from playing Billie,” Andra explains in an interview obtained by Just Jared. “She gets in, you know what I mean? She gets ahold.”

      “It was a commitment. I think it’s one I’m recovering from still. I’d never smoked cigarettes before. Just starting out smoking, I was practising with my acting coach… I was like, ‘I want some of your American Spirits.’ That first day I was drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes, and I went home and threw up, like, five times!”
      And that smoking habit has stuck with the singer, who explains, “I finished the last pick-up shots last year, but what I expected to be a four, five, or six-month habit ended up turning into about a year and a half.”
      Day also “drank a lot of gin and bourbon” to get into the spirit of Billie, who died of complications from cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse.
      “I hadn’t drank in so long, and it was never really a big part of my life, even when I did when I was younger,” she adds.

      The ‘Elysium’ director confirms he has started to write the script for ‘District 10’ while the ‘Power’ actress has been added to Eve’s upcoming hip-hop television series.

      Feb 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Writer/director Neill Blomkamp is working on a much-anticipated sequel to his cult 2009 alien invasion film “District 9”.

      “District 10 screenplay also being written by @sharlto @terriatchell and I. Its coming…,” he wrote.
      “District 9”, starring Copley, was critically acclaimed and picked up five Oscar nominations.
      Blomkamp teased the film back in 2017, writing, “I want to go back to that world and tell the rest of the story with Wikus and Christopher. The issue right now is that I have many other projects and ideas that I also want to work on and complete… and most importantly, the exact right reason to make District 10 needs be very clear.”

      “The first film was based so explicitly on real themes and topics from South Africa that affected me greatly growing up there, that we need to make sure the next film does not forget that.”
      In another news, “Power” and “Notorious” star Naturi Naughton has joined Eve in Zahir McGhee’s new hip-hop drama series “Queens”.
      The actress and the rapper will lead the cast as the former members of all-girl group the Nasty B**tches, who try to regain their glory with a reunion.
      Naughton will portray the band’s co-founder, a devout Catholic living a quiet life in Montana with her husband.
      She isn’t new to the world of girl groups – before she became an actress, Naturi was a member of pop trio 3LW.

      Judi Dench Needs Assistance to Learn Her Lines Due to Deteriorating Eyesight

      by

      WENN

      Because of her declining eyesight, the ‘Blithe Spirit’ actress, 86, needs her friends to repeat her lines to her in order to help her memorize them before she’s filming a new project.

      Feb 27, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Dame Judi Dench is determined to keep acting despite her “intensely irritating” deteriorating eyesight.
      The 86-year-old actress suffers from age-related macular degeneration, which affects the middle part of a person’s vision, and she now has to enlist her friends to help her learn her lines for new projects by repeating them back to her, so she doesn’t have to keep reading from a script.
      “You find a way of just getting about and getting over the things that you find very difficult,” she said during an online event for London sight loss charity Vision Foundation.

      “I’ve had to find another way of learning lines and things, which is having great friends of mine repeat them to me over and over and over again. So I have to learn through repetition, and I just hope that people won’t notice too much if all the lines are completely hopeless!”
      The “Cats” actress admitted she could walk past someone she knew and not recognise them, because she has to be “very close” to a person before she can identify them.
      “Finty, my daughter, goes and has her eyes checked,” she said. “It (her sight issues) is intensely irritating. But it does enable you to do one thing and that is that you have to get very close to people before you can recognise who they are.”
      “During lockdown I made a film and I was up close addressing people wearing masks during rehearsals, nothing to do with any scene I’m in. It’s kind of exquisite if you can do that and that’s the good side of it, and you have to look at that side of it.”

      Zegler – who stars as Maria in the upcoming “West Side Story” remake – wrote on Twitter, “I am in my key role in shazam 2 era. (sic)”
      Details of the character are being kept under wraps, but the star felt “supremely blessed” from DC fans following the casting reaction.
      “dc fans, thank you for this warm welcome. i am feeling so supremely blessed, (sic)” she tweeted.

      “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” – a follow up to 2019 superhero film “Shazam!” – was due to drop on 4 November 2022, but another DC movie, “The Flash”, has now taken its place.
      Zachary Levi is to reprise his role as the titular hero in the DC Extended Universe motion picture, which will also star Adam Brody, Jack Dylan Grazer, Marta Milans, Asher Angel, and Faithe Herman.
      Shazam – who was also known as Captain Marvel – was created by C.C. Beck and writer Bill Parker back in 1939 and first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 a year later.
      Rights to the character were obtained by DC Comics in the 1970s.
      Shazam is really a teenage boy called Billy Batson – played by Angel in the 2019 blockbuster – who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word “Shazam,” which is an acronym of the ancient world gods and historical figures: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.

      Feb 27, 2021

      Coates, who also worked on Marvel hits “Captain America” and “Black Panther”, is looking forward to revamping the DC Comics superhero.
      “To be invited into the DC Extended Universe by Warner Bros., DC Films and Bad Robot is an honor,” he writes in a statement. “I look forward to meaningfully adding to the legacy of America’s most iconic mythic hero.”
      “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” visionary Abrams adds, “There is a new, powerful and moving Superman story yet to be told. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with the brilliant Mr. Coates to help bring that story to the big screen, and we’re beyond thankful to the team at Warner Bros. for the opportunity.”

      Tom Holland Wears Nothing but Thong Under His Spider-Man Suit

      by

      Sony Pictures

      The Peter Paker depicter reveals he wears nothing but a thong underneath his skintight superhero costume when he’s filming the Marvel blockbuster franchise.

      Feb 27, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland wears a thong underneath his Spider-Man suit.
      The 24-year-old actor admits he has very little on beneath his superhero costume.
      “I wear a thong, like a jockstrap thing,” he tells GQ. “I have a thong and a mesh underlay suit and then the Spider-Man suit, made from very coarse material, goes over the top.”
      Tom, who will reprise his role as the webslinger for “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, goes on to reveal he has never been tempted to steal his own suit from the set even though there are “loads of them flying around.”

        See also…

      “I could just steal one,” he chuckles. “I should just go home in one from the set and be like, ‘Come and take it off me!’ They’d never find the hidden zips, though.”
      The upcoming “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel will also see the return of Zendaya Coleman and Jacob Batalon. It’s due stateside on December 21 this year.
      The plot is still kept under wrap, but Holland’s Peter Parker is expected to sport a new haircut as the actor previously revealed he refused to wear wig to hide haircut from his other movie “Uncharted”.
      “I have cool shaved sides and it’s slick at the back, and that’s not very Peter Parker,” he told Esquire. “He (Parker)’s a bit of a loser. So they put this wig on me that was just around the sides.”
      But Holland was not impressed and fought against the suggestion – and won. “For the first time in my life, I put my foot down as the leading actor and was like, ‘I’m not f**king wearing that wig. I’m going to have shorter hair and you’re going to have to deal with it!’ ” he shared.
