      Dec 8, 2020

      The get together aired on Monday, December 7 as part of the actor’s ongoing “Reunited Apart” YouTube series, and began with Gad pretending to call the rockers to ask for the contacts of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, who played Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar in the cult film.
      “You brought us – two world-famous rock stars – on your show to get in touch with two people we casually know?”, Tyler asked.

      Perry and Tyler turned down a request to appear in the first “Wayne’s World” movie in 1992, but showed up for the sequel in 1993.

      Alice Cooper, who did appear in the first film, also made an appearance during the reunion, as did Queen star Brian May.
      Cooper confessed he was under no illusions when he got the call to be in the film, joking, “I think they probably couldn’t get the (Rolling) Stones or The Beatles. (They were) scraping the barrel until I was the only one left.”
      “I was just supposed to talk, and then when I got there Michael (Myers) said, ‘Oh, by the way, here’s, like, eight pages to learn.”
      Meanwhile, May revealed late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was a big fan of the film’s pivotal headbanging scene – when Wayne, Garth and two pals rock out to the band’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” in a car, explaining, “He loved it. He just laughed and laughed… He just smiled and laughed. He said, ‘How wonderful is that?’.”
      Other highlights from the reunion included appearances from actress Tia Carerre, who played Cassandra in the film, and co-star Rob Lowe.
      The reunion is the latest Gad has organised following the cast get togethers for “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “The Goonies”, among others.

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      When promoting ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the Steve Trevor depicter redirects question about his character’s reappearance in the sequel to talks about his ’80s costumes.

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chris Pine’s character isn’t the only thing coming back to life in “Wonder Woman 1984 – the Christmas blockbuster is rebooting 1980s fashion trends.
      Pine’s character Steve Trevor – the love interest of Gal Gadot’s titular character – appeared to die in the first Wonder Woman film, released in 2017, but he reappears in the sequel.
      Chris isn’t allowed to share any details about his mysterious return, but he’s more than happy to chat about the film’s 1980s revival.
      “My character in the first ‘Wonder Woman’ is a world-weary vet (veteran) and he’s jaded about what the world can be all about it and how bad humans can be,” he tells “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.

      In this one, he’s kind of wide-eyed and excited about everything and ready for the experience, even about parachute pants and what not, so it was fun for me to flip the script on the character.”
      [embedded content]
      The “Star Trek” actor had no problem sporting parachute pants in the film, set more than 35 years ago, but he’s most excited about making another 80s style staple – the fanny pack – trendy again.
      “The fanny pack, I will say, is a very clever device…,” he raves. “I think for a gentleman, or anyone that really wants to wear a well fitted pant, the fanny pack provides both a protection of the silhouette of the pant while also providing incredible storage space.”
      “Wonder Woman 1984” will be released in theatres and on streaming service HBO Max on Christmas Day (December 25).

      Russo Brothers Admit 'The Gray Man' Is Being Conceived as a Series of Films

      by

      WENN/Sheri Determan

      This action thriller for Netflix follows former CIA operative-turned-freelance assassin Court Gentry as he is being hunted across the globe by his former cohort.

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Russo Brothers have confirmed their new movie “The Gray Man” will launch a franchise.
      The directing duo, Joe and Anthony Russo, are set to helm the big-budget spy film for Netflix with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans at the top of the casting list, and they have now revealed the movie won’t “answer every question” audiences might have because they want to leave room for future instalments.
      “What we’re doing on ‘The Gray Man’ that’s different (is)… we’re not gonna answer every question in the first movie,” Joe said. “This is being conceived as a series of films, and again, potentially branching out, we could follow other characters, but we’re not gonna answer every question in the movie.”
      “So you’re gonna finish the movie, (and) have a complete story, but you’re still gonna have questions about the wider universe. And I think that’s one way to break the model a little bit, is to not give the audience everything in one film. Don’t have a close-ended narrative. Have an open-ended narrative that’s (like) a chapter in a book.”

        See also…

      The action thriller follows a former CIA operative turned freelance assassin named Court Gentry (Gosling) – who is also known as the Gray Man – who is hunted across the globe by his former CIA cohort Lloyd Hansen (Evans).
      And the Russo Brothers also confirmed they’re due to start filming next year with shoots set to take place in Los Angeles and overseas.
      “(We’re) guys who grew up on a steady diet of action thrillers. The cast is exceptional, the script is excellent,” Joe smiled. “We start shooting at the end of January here in Los Angeles, and then we have some work overseas in Europe after that in the spring.”
      Despite having plans for a franchise in mind, the brothers might not helm any future sequels themselves, because of their increasingly hectic schedules.
      Speaking to Collider, Joe added, “It could be other filmmakers. I mean we love it, we love what we’ve been prepping, we love the cast, but we’d love to tell multiple stories and schedule-dependent, we might not be able to handle everything. So we love to bring new voices in and we also get excited about that.”

      Viggo Mortensen Slams 'Unreasonable' Criticisms of His Oscar-Winning Movie 'Green Book'

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The ‘Crimson Tide’ actor hits back at those criticizing his Oscar-winning movie for portraying a stereotypical ‘white savior’ narrative, describing the criticisms as ‘inaccurate, mendacious, and irresponsible.’

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Viggo Mortensen has slammed the criticism of his movie “Green Book”, admitting negative comments are “hurtful and destructive.”
      The Danish-American actor starred as Mahershala Ali’s driver in the film, which took home the Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor prizes at the 2019 Oscars.

        See also…

      However, while the film received critical acclaim, it was also criticised by many – including the living relatives of Black pianist Don Shirley, played by Ali in the movie – for portraying a stereotypical “white savior” narrative, a cinematic trope which often appears in American cinema, wherein a white protagonist is portrayed as a messianic figure who often learns something about him or herself in the course of rescuing non-white characters from their plight.
      Mortensen opened up about the backlash in an interview with Britain’s The Independent newspaper, as he said, “Much of the criticism that was levelled at that movie was not only unreasonable, but it was inaccurate, mendacious, and irresponsible. It’s based on a load of bulls**t and an axe to grind and little else. Does it affect what I’m doing, or how people perceive me as an actor? Maybe it does. But I can’t really do anything about that.”
      He also takes issue with the “cliche” description of criticism of the film, adding, “It’s become a cliche to say, ‘Is this movie going to be the Green Book of this year?’ Green Book has become a pejorative.”

      Aaron Eckhart Credits 'Wander' Director for Helping Him Get Unhinged for His Role

      by

      WENN/Brian To

      During an interview on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘London Has Fallen’ actor talks about how he properly got into the character of a grieving private investigator for April Mullen’s thriller film.

      Dec 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Aaron Eckhart relished the chance to get “unhinged” for his new film – just like the guy he plays.
      The “London Has Fallen” star plays a private investigator in “Wander”, who starts to go a little crazy when he’s assigned to a case he becomes convinced is connected to his own daughter’s death.
      And Aaron “really enjoyed” being given the opportunity to get properly into character – thanks to a “gift” from the movie’s director.
      “He’s a grieving father that lost his daughter and the story that he was given (about her death) never felt right,” he tells America’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan” talk show. “So he goes on and investigates it and he opens this large conspiracy. Everyone thinks he’s mad… He’s isolated himself on his ranch out in the desert in New Mexico and the director, April (Mullen), did a great thing for me our first day at work.”
      “We got the whole crew in a big circle and we had a Native American chief and son come out and give us a prayer and sing us a song and we danced. And then April gave a speech and, unbeknownst to me, she looked at me and said, ‘Nobody talks to him’.”

      “I didn’t know (she was going to say that) and I thought it was the greatest gift she ever gave me, because it gave me the time and space to become unhinged (for the role) and I really enjoyed that experience.”
      [embedded content]
      Aaron also had a great time working with co-star Tommy Lee Jones, who plays his “one good buddy”, and he knew “Wander” was going to be a success when the veteran actor perfected his own character’s look.
      “He had a choice between two pairs (of glasses) and I said, ‘Look Tommy, you’ve got to wear those, those are beautiful’,” he recalls.
      “When Tommy put on those yellow glasses, that’s when I knew everything was going to be OK.”
