      Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is teaming up with “My Dinner With Herve” filmmaker Sacha Gervasi to co-write a screenplay about the rock concert he headlined during the Siege of Sarajevo in 1994.

      The rocker and his band, Skunkworks, were smuggled into the city by United Nations officials to play a concert as the Bosnian war raged around them.

      The gig was captured for the documentary “Scream for Me Sarajevo”, which also covered the siege – the longest in modern history, lasting over 1,420 days and resulting in the deaths of over 11,000 people.

      Dickinson was later awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Sarajevo for his bravery.

      Announcing the new film this week (ends30Apr21), Bruce said, “The few incredible days I spent in Sarajevo with my solo band pre-Christmas in 1994 were some of the most intense of my life.”

      “Crafting a story to bring the emotions, madness, tragedy and triumph to the screen is no easy task. My own journey was as a long haired heavy metal singer driving through firefights into a city that had been under siege longer than Stalingrad. Mine was not, of course, the only journey taken on that day, and afterwards, at home in London, I left behind in Sarajevo travelling companions on the road of life. This movie is actually dedicated to their story, not mine.”

      Gervasi added, “The real story of the kids and local musicians who attended that show is as poignant as it is inspiring. Many of them didn’t make it. As Bruce has already said, we hope this film will be a tribute to them.”

      Jodie Turner-Smith 'Gave It All' During 'Without Remorse' Filming Despite Being Pregnant

      The ‘Queen and Slim’ actress talks about the challenges of filming her new action movie, claiming her pregnancy added ‘a layer of complexity’ to her role.

      AceShowbiz –
      Jodie Turner-Smith’s pregnancy added “a layer of complexity” to her starring role in action film “Without Remorse”.

      The 34-year-old actress stars as Lt. Commander Karen Greer in the movie based on Tom Clancy’s novel and opened up about the challenges of filming while she was expecting her baby daughter.

      Jodie, who welcomed 12-month-old Janie to the world with husband, actor Joshua Jackson in April 2020, said, “(Training) wasn’t straightforward because I was pregnant, so that definitely added a layer of complexity to it. But I went after it. I gave it all of myself.”

      The “Queen & Slim” star continued, “We worked really closely with these guys on set who were there to teach us how to operate in combat, how to move with and around each other, how to talk to each other.”

      “We’re emulating guys who have been working together, alongside each other for years, so there needed to be a sense of familiarity and comfort and ease to how they work together.”

      Jodie also revealed how her pregnancy made it more difficult to shoot underwater stunts.

      She told Variety, “I don’t know if you know this, but when you are pregnant, it’s very hard to hold your breath. So, I had unique challenges that my co-stars didn’t have.”

      Turner-Smith also loved having the opportunity to play a trailblazing character in the form of a female Navy SEAL.

      She explained, “I love that filmmakers wanted to create this character, to envision this woman. There’s not a female Navy SEAL right now, but there will be soon. I feel that is what we’re moving towards.”

      “It felt very cool to embody this a little bit ahead of the curve. And to hopefully honour and bring a good representation to women around the world who are serving in the armed forces right now.”

      Tom Cruise Allegedly Flew Into Rage on Set of 'Mission: Impossible 7' Over Noisy Trees

      The Ethan Hunt depicter was reportedly so frustrated by the branches knocking on the roof of his trailer on the set of his new movie that he got the trees chopped off.

      AceShowbiz –
      Tom Cruise reportedly flew into a rage on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7” after becoming irritated by noisy branches on the roof of his trailer.

      According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the 58-year-old actor couldn’t stand the noisy trees while relaxing in between takes for the new instalment of the spy franchise and called on local workers to come and cut them down.

      Insiders shared, “There isn’t much Tom can’t put up with. So imagine how baffled everyone was when there was such a fuss made over a tree.”

      “The branches hanging over were knocking on the roof of the trailer which Tom and some of the other cast had been using.”

      “Apparently the noise was becoming beyond irritating and they couldn’t stand it any longer. Two local lads were called out to sort out the problem and cut down the offending branches.”

      The source also claimed the set has been busy with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Tom and his co-star and rumoured girlfriend Hayley Atwell.

      Two paramedics, who stopped to get pictures, were reportedly hauled away by security and ordered to delete the images they had taken.

      The latest incident comes following reports last year (20) that five crew members on the “Mission: Impossible” set had quit after Tom launched into two rants.

      The actor was said to have sounded off on staff after he caught them breaking U.K. coronavirus rules at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire.
