      New 'Transformers' Standalone Movie in the Works With Angel Manuel Soto

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The upcoming big-screen adaptation has secured a director and screenwriter as it is reportedly being developed separately from the universe of the original movie.

      Mar 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      A new “Transformers” film is in development from Angel Manuel Soto.

      The director is attached to develop a new feature based on the popular Hasbro brand with Marco Ramirez, the showrunner of the Marvel TV series “The Defenders”, writing the script.

      Details on the project are being kept under wraps but it is being developed separately from the universe of the main “Transformers” films that Paramount Pictures have been making since 2007.

      The movie is in the early phase of development and it is not yet clear who will produce it. It is thought that Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy, and Tom DeSanto – who have served as producers on the previous flicks – are to be involved.

      A decision was made last year to revamp the “Transformers” franchise by having two simultaneous scripts in development – one penned by James Vanderbilt and another by Joby Harold.

      “Creed” helmer Steven Caple Jr. is set to direct a new film while “Toy Story 4” filmmaker Josh Cooley will also direct an animated “Transformers” prequel.

      Harold’s screenplay was chosen as the basis for the next movie in the franchise and he completed his final touches to the script.

      The origin story will be set on the planet Cybertron, the planet where the living robots come from.

      The plot is set to focus on the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron, the future leaders of the sworn enemies the Autobots and the Decepticons.

      The project is separate from the live-action “Transformers” series and “Bumblebee” spin-off and will exist outside the franchise timeline.

      It had been suggested that studios were more likely to focus on animated movies amid the coronavirus pandemic as it is easier to make an animated motion picture as the production can be completed whilst observing social distancing.

      Demi Lovato's Rapist Appeared in Her Movie as Sexual Assault Was 'Swept Under the Rug'

      by

      Instagram

      According to the former Disney darling, her sexual assault was completely covered up even though she confided in ‘somebody of power’ about the harrowing ordeal.

      Mar 30, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Demi Lovato’s rapist appeared in a movie with her, even after she had confided in “somebody of power” about the sexual assault.

      The 28-year-old singer has previously revealed she had been “hooking up” with a guy but didn’t want to have sex with him because she was still a virgin but he forced himself on her and, after seeking treatment for an eating disorder and addiction issues three years later, she confided in “somebody of power” about what had happened to her.

      She recalled, “She said, ‘I don’t think they should be in your movie coming out.’ That was completely swept under the rug. Nothing was done about it. That person was still in that movie.”

      And the #MeToo movement led Demi to a revelation in 2018.

      She said, “I realised, oh my gosh, this happens in the industry all the time.”

      After she was raped, Demi confided only in her mother and a few close friends and she was left with a sense she was “bad, wrong and dirty,” which caused her eating disorder to spiral.

        See also…

      The “Sorry Not Sorry” hitmaker said, “I realised when I got to treatment (in 2010) that the reason why my eating disorder progressed so quickly and so badly was that I kept the secret of being raped…”

      “When this situation happened I felt so ashamed. That was what was replaying in my head: ‘You’re not married, you’re not married, you’re not married – you’re bad.’ ”

      “I went three years with ‘I’m bad, I’m wrong, I’m dirty.’ This is why I went away to treatment, pretty much. Three years of that will lead to somebody snapping on a plane in Colombia.”

      Demi was also sexually assaulted by her drug dealer following her highly-publicised overdose in 2018 and, in both cases, she tried to confront the men afterwards. However, she admitted, “It didn’t fix anything. All it did was make me feel worse.”

      But the “Sober” singer felt she had to do so in a bid to take back control.

      She told Sunday Times magazine, “I use the term ‘trauma re-enactment.’ And there’s a sense of agency that I guess I felt when I was the one to call them back and kind of correct the situation, in my eyes. Because if I was the one in control, then I was fixing it. Which obviously isn’t the case. Like, what happened still happened. And this is not going to make it any better.”

      San Diego Comic-Con Defends Setting In-Person Event on Thanksgiving Weekend After Backlash

      by

      Organizers update the announcement of the ‘Comic-Con Special Edition’ on the official website with an explanation as to why they chose the date, citing a ‘very packed Convention Center calendar.’

      Mar 29, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      San Diego Comic-Con has defended its scheduling after it sparked criticism for choosing to hold its postponed event on an annual holiday. After fans and talent expressed displease with organizers’ decision to set the in-person convention over Thanksgiving weekend, the organization took to the official website to explain the slot.

      In an updated announcement, organizers cited “a very packed Convention Center calendar” as the reason why it chose the date. “As conventions and events have had to cancel their in-person shows or have converted to virtual formats during the pandemic, some have been postponed to later years while others have been rescheduled to the later part of 2021, resulting in a very packed Convention Center calendar,” it explained.

      The organization went on elaborating, “When reviewing dates for an in-person event, it was clear that available meeting and exhibit space would limit our options. Of the dates presented with the fewest restrictions, Friday through Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend seemed to be the best balance of available space and our envisioned event.”

      It then offered solution to fans, “As longtime fans ourselves, we have attended many conventions over that holiday weekend, opting to spend Thanksgiving day with family and the rest of the weekend with friends and our families of choice. While this is not unusual in the convention trade, we understand this choice is not optimal for everyone.”

      The organization announced on Saturday, March 27 that the “Comic-Con Special Edition” is going to take place over the Thanksgiving weekend, on November 26-28 at the San Diego Convention Center. “While we have been able to pivot from in-person gatherings to limited online events, the loss of revenue has had an acute impact on the organization as it has with many small businesses, necessitating reduced work schedules and reduction in pay for employees, among other issues,” said David Glanzer, spokesperson for the nonprofit organization, “Hopefully this event will shore up our financial reserves and mark a slow return to larger in-person gatherings in 2022.”

      The announcement was met with backlash, with “Light of the Jedi” author and Daredevil comics write Charles Soule opting to miss out the convention. “So they scheduled #SDCC on the same weekend as the first chance most families will (hopefully) be fully able to celebrate Thanksgiving in two years. See you in 2022!” he tweeted.

        See also…

      “Fantastic Four” comic books writer Dan Slott echoed the sentiment. “My family missed Thanksgiving last year because of the pandemic. This year, we’ll all be vaccinated. There’s no way I’d be attending any event instead of spending that time with them. Even if everything were magically back to normal,” he wrote on Twitter. “I can’t imagine others feeling differently.”

      Another expressed the dilemma over the scheduling, “So many people go to Comic-Con for fun, but so many people also go for work. We all missed Thanksgiving with our families in 2020. Could we… not?”

      “A Thanksgiving #ComicCon? WTF? Am I supposed to wait in line for Hall H while eating leftover stuffing and cranberry sauce? #SDCC,” a fan posted on Twitter. Responding to the question, Entertainment Weekly writer Gerrad Hall advised the fan, “No, you aren’t. No one should go to this. I can’t imagine any talent will.”

      Details of the three-day convention, including badge cost, attendance capacity and related information, will be announced at a later date.

      by

      Instagram

      The son of David and Victoria Beckham is believed to be working to document his fiancee’s new adventure in co-directing the independent drama with fellow first-timer Bria Vinaite.

      Mar 29, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly landed a new photography gig on the set of his fiancee Nicola Peltz’s directorial debut.

      The “Transformers: Age of Extinction” actress wrote the screenplay for “Lola James”, and will co-direct the independent drama with fellow first-timer Bria Vinaite, with “Sideways” star Virginia Madsen tapped to feature alongside Peltz as the titular character.

      The film, set in 2002, will revolve around the exploits of a 19-year-old, desperate to get her younger brother out of their toxic home, and according to Britain’s Sunday Mirror, Peltz will have the support of her husband-to-be onset, as Beckham will serve as the production photographer.

      A source told the newspaper, “Brooklyn and Nicola are a very creative couple and Brooklyn has a way with capturing moments in images. Nicola is going to have a lot on and he is believed to be working to document this new adventure.”

      Beckham, the son of soccer icon David Beckham and pop star Victoria Beckham (Victoria Adams), proposed to Peltz last July (2020), after less than a year of dating. In his Instagram announcement, the 22-year-old wrote, “Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes xx I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day [love emoji] I love you baby xx.”

      On the very same day, Peltz posted similar photo from the special moment in their life in her own account. “You’ve made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side,” she wrote in her post. “your love is the most precious gift. I love you so so much baby and thank you harper for this pic.”

      Scarlett Johansson and 'Black Widow' Co-Star Florence Pugh Had Pneumonia While Filming

      by

      Marvel Studios

      Director Cate Shortland shares in an interview that things were rough during the four-month filming as the two stars were ill while filming for the upcoming Marvel flick.

      Mar 29, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Scarlett Johansson and her “Black Widow” co-star Florence Pugh have given it all for their upcoming Marvel movie. The two actresses have been unraveled to have suffered pneumonia during filming, but decided to push through with the shooting.

      Director Cate Shortland opened up about the gruelling shooting’s toll on the two beauties when speaking in a new interview with The Gentlewoman. “It was like being in the army,” she recalled, before the publication noted, “By the end, Scarlett and her co-star Florence Pugh were both shooting while ill with pneumonia.”

      Noting that the filming took four months in multiple locations with relentless schedule, Cate applauded Scarlett’s outstanding work ethic. “She’s completely unpretentious,” the filmmaker stated, “and that makes her really fun to be around. She’ll be joking with the best boy or the runner; there’s no hierarchy. She appreciates people, and she makes people feel appreciated.”

        See also…

      In the interview, Cate also revealed what aspiration Scarlett has for the upcoming MCU movie. “She really pushed to make something that wasn’t flimsy or superficial,” the television writer/director said. “She wanted to make something that meant a lot to young people and to women. And she knew it was possibly her last film as Black Widow – she didn’t want to leave Marvel making a feel-good movie.”

      Scarlett herself agreed that Black Widow deserved a more thorough characterization. “She’s always been a part of something bigger than herself, and now that’s all gone,” the 36-year-old actress pointed out. When asked if it is scary to do a solo Marvel film, she admitted, “Yeah, it was exposing. But it was time, you know?”

      “Black Widow” is set to be released in the United States on July 9. Aside from Scarlett and Florence, its cast ensemble included David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone and Rachel Weisz.

      'Nobody' Tops Box Office, 'Godzilla vs Kong' Sets Pandemic-Best Opening Overseas

      by

      87North/Legendary Entertainment

      While the Bob Odenkirk-starring action thriller takes the lead domestically, the epic monster movie breaks record for the biggest international box office debut by a Hollywood film during the pandemic era.

      Mar 29, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Nobody” has inked its name on top of the North American box office. Universal’s action genre-defying pic starring Bob Odenkirk takes the lead with approximately $6.7 million domestically on its debut weekend.

      It’s a fairly good start for the low-budget movie, which reportedly only cost $16 million to make. Universal, meanwhile, acquired the film from STX for about $10 million. The movie benefits from New York and Los Angeles theater openings.

      The film’s $6.7 million opening gross makes up one third of the weekend’s $19 million overall total. Internationally, it grossed $5 million for a worldwide total of $11.7 million.

      Another new release this week is “Tom & Jerry”, which opens at No. 3 with an estimated $2.5 million. Last week’s champion “Raya and the Last Dragon” falls one spot to No. 2 with additional $3.5 million. As of Sunday, March 28, the Disney animated movie has grossed $28.4 million domestically and $62.1 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $90.5 million, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of 2021.

        See also…

      “Chaos Walking” also descends from No. 3 to No. 4 with approximately $1.2 million, while “The Courier” takes the first place with an estimated $1 million.

      Meanwhile, “Godzilla vs Kong” made a loud roar overseas as it opened to a pandemic-best $121.8 million at the foreign box office. Previously, Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” held the record of the biggest offshore start of the pandemic with $53 million.

      Of the epic monster showdown film’s impressive international debut, China’s markets contributed the most with $70.34 million, with Mexico and Australia coming in at $6.3 million each. Russia also showed strong business with $5.8 million.

      “Godzilla vs Kong”, which is set to open in the U.S. simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on March 31, launched in a total of 39 markets overseas on March 24. It, however, doesn’t open in Japan, the home of “Godzilla”, until May.

      Top 10 of North America Box Office (Mar. 26-28, 2021)

      “Nobody” – $6.7 million
      “Raya and the Last Dragon” – $3.5 million
      “Tom & Jerry” – $2.5 million
      “Chaos Walking” – $1.2 million

      First 'The Suicide Squad' Full Trailer Features Dirty Jokes, Gory Scenes and Unlikely Heroes

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The red-band trailer for James Gunn’s take on the DC Comics team introduces a number of new faces as part of the titular team, in addition to welcoming back Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn.

      Mar 27, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      The first full trailer for James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” is finally here for fans’ viewing pleasure. Offering a glimpse of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” director’s take on the DC Comics team, the red-band trailer is jam-packed with bloody gore and dirty jokes.

      In the standalone sequel to 2016’s “Suicide Squad”, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) reassembles the Task Force X with a slew of new faces, including Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) and King Shark (Sylvester Stallone), as part of the team. Still led by Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), their first mission is to rescue Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), who clearly doesn’t need their help to escape.

      With Harley Quinn rejoining the team, the Suicide Squad is sent for a bigger mission, which is to destroy a Nazi-era prison and laboratory.

      The official synopsis describes the plot as follows, “Welcome to hell-a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out-even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.”

      “Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement,” it continues to read. “And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them-all of them.”

        See also…

      “Suicide Squad” creator John Ostrander was as excited as fans about the trailer’s release. “This has dropped today and I couldn’t be more excited.
