      Nichols reportedly will be reuniting with John Krasinski, who starred and directed the 2018’s blockbuster hit, to develop the new flick that will be based on Krasinski’s original idea.

      Nov 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Mud” filmmaker Jeff Nichols is set to develop a spin-off from horror movie franchise “A Quiet Place” based on an idea by John Krasinski.
      According to Deadline, bosses at Paramount Pictures have recruited Nichols to write and direct the production.

      Details are being kept under wraps, but Krasinski, who co-wrote, directed and starred in the 2018 original and its forthcoming sequel, proposed the idea for the new project.
      The news comes as fans await the release of “A Quiet Place Part II”, which had its prior launch in March postponed until April, 2021 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
      The upcoming movie, which sees Krasinski’s real-life wife Emily Blunt reprising her role as Evelyn Abbott. It will follow Evelyn after the death of her husband Blunt (Krasinki), who died in the first movie. Along with her kids, she is forced to survive in a post-apocalyptic world in which monsters with ultra-developed hearing hunted down all humans that made noise. Evelyn must make sure her three children, including her newborn son, survive.
      Of the inspiration for “A Quiet Place II”, Krasinski said back in 2019, “The idea for it is pretty simple. I’m writing now – I don’t have it fleshed out – but the thought that occurred to me, that really excited me about it, was that most sequels are about the return of a hero or a villain. You take this character that people loved once and you bring them back, and you have to create a new world around them. We have the exact opposite setup. We have the world, and you can drop whoever you want into that world and everyone feels connected to it.”

      The retired UFC Middleweight Champion will star as a drug-addicted former fighter who is determined to continue his career, despite being diagnosed with neurological damage.

      Nov 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Former UFC star Michael Bisping is stepping into the boxing ring for the film adaptation of “The Journeyman”.
      The movie is inspired by British author Mark Turley’s book of the same name, and will star Bisping as Kenny ‘The Beast’ Breen, a drug-addicted former fighter with a record of 11-85-0 who is determined to continue his career, despite being diagnosed with neurological damage.
      The production will be directed by Dax Phelan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Turley, and filmed in the U.K.
      Real-life boxer Johnny Greaves will serve as the film’s technical advisor. Eric M. Klein and Phelan are producing. Bisping and Turley are on board as executive producers.
      “For obvious reasons, Mike brings an authenticity and an X-factor to the role that no other actor ever could,” Phelan said in a statement.

      “His contributions to the script have been insightful and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to explore this character with him.”

He officially announced his retirement from MMA competition in 2018 and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on July 5, 2019.
      Bisping is no stranger to Hollywood – he previously appeared in movies such as “XXX: Return of Xander Cage” and “Den of Thieves”.
      Besides taking on acting roles, the 41-year-old was tapped as one of the four presenters of Netflix’s reality competition series “Hyperdrive”.

      Kristen Stewart Is Mackenzie Davis' Secret Girlfriend in Trailer for Gay Rom-Com 'Happiest Season'

      by

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star plays a young lesbian who travels to her girlfriend’s family home for Christmas only to have her sexuality be hidden from the conservative parents.

      Nov 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kristen Stewart is redefining holiday rom-com in Hulu’s upcoming movie “Happiest Season”. Ahead of the jolliest season of the year, the first trailer for the Christmas film has been released for viewing pleasure, centering on a young lesbian couple played by the “Twilight Saga” actress and Mackenzie Davis (“Blade Runner 2049”).
      For the Yuletide, Abby (Stewart) and Harper (Davis) are traveling to the latter’s family home. But Abby’s excitement is soon spoiled after Harper informs her that she is yet to come out as lesbian to her conservative family.
      Hilarity ensues as the pair try to hide their relationship as well as their sexuality from Harper’s family, while Abby’s flamboyant friend John (Dan Levy) comes to the “rescue” by joining the family’s Christmas celebration and introduces himself as Abby’s “ex-boyfriend.”
      Planning to propose to Harper at her family’s annual Christmas dinner, Abby begins to question the girlfriend she thought she knew. “This is why I avoid Christmas. It brings out the worst in everything,” Abby says in the video, though John later reassures her, “Everybody’s story is different. Just because Harper isn’t ready doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you.”

        See also…

      According to the film’s description, “Happiest Season” is billed as “a holiday romantic comedy that hilariously captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family’s acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas.”
      Clea DuVall, who directed and wrote the script, said earlier this year that she wrote the story from her “own place of truth” as a queer woman, which the cast felt added authenticity to the story.
      Stewart, who is openly bisexual, said of the LBGT romance, “I grew up watching and loving conventional movies like this. Seeing [marginalized] people loving each other in the middle of something that’s so standardized was really exhilarating and freeing.” She added, “There’s a lack of confusion and generalization Clea brings [as a queer woman]. I want people to see that two girls in love is just so fun.”
      Also starring Victor Garber, Mary Steenburgen, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Holland among others, “Happiest Season” will be available on Hulu starting November 25.

      Matthew Broderick Confesses to Almost Turning Down 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      During an interview on ‘Quarantined with Bruce Bozzi’, the husband of Sarah Jessica Parker explains that he thought the John Hughes film would stereotype him as an actor who talks to the camera.

      Nov 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Matthew Broderick almost didn’t star in the classic 1980s film comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, which made him famous.
      The 58-year-old actor starred as a high school student in the film, who fakes sickness to stay at home and spends the rest of the day getting into trouble with his best friend and girlfriend – while his dean is trying to spy on him.
      However, Matthew tells Sirius XM’s “Quarantined with Bruce Bozzi” he thought the film would stereotype him as an actor who talks to the camera, and became close to turning down the now-iconic role.
      “I thought (the script) was great,” the star shares, “and I had a teeny hesitation because having just done (the plays) Brighton Beach (Memoirs) and Biloxi (Blues), I was like, ‘Wow, I’m talking to the audience, just like in these plays’… And even in (the 1985 movie) Ladyhawke he talks to the camera a bit.”

      “You know, when you’re young or starting out you think, ‘I have to do something different’,” he adds.

      Fortunately, Matthew was encouraged to accept the role in the John Hughes film, recalling, “Before I had hung up the phone, (my agent) was like behind me in the room, saying, ‘Yes, you should do it’.”
      “He flew to New York. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow. Let’s just not talk about it anymore now, I’ll see you tomorrow,’ and he came and was suddenly in the room with me, saying, ‘Yeah, I do think you should do it’.”

      Malin Akerman's Sister Helps Save Her Movie 'Chick Fight' From Chaos

      by

      WENN

      Jennifer Akerman is credited for helping save her actress sister’s latest movie ‘Chick Fight’ amid the coronavirus pandemic as she lent a hand with the soundtrack.

      Nov 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Malin Akerman’s new movie, “Chick Fight”, was a real family affair – her sister, Jennifer, provided the film’s music.
      Director Paul Leyden turned to his producer and leading lady’s sibling for help as earthquakes in Puerto Rico, where he shot the film about an underground, all-female fight club, and the COVID pandemic turned the project into chaos.
      “Malin Akerman’s younger sister, Jennifer Akerman, is an incredibly talented musician and I reached out to her to see if the material inspired her to maybe do some original tracks,” he tells WENN. “Inspired was an understatement. Jennifer’s music is all over the film and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the texture her banging tunes give to the final product.”
      Leyden admits the film’s music was one of the only things that came together smoothly.

        See also…

      “The production and post-production of Chick Fight was a literal fight every step of the way,” he explains. “In production, Puerto Rico continued its feud with mother nature and suffered some of its worst earthquakes in a hundred years, causing many power outages and other inconveniences.”
      “Then, just as we wrapped, a little thing called COVID-19 reared its ugly little head making post-production a challenging and isolating affair. I worked on the edit while my family and I were quarantining in the Swiss Alps. My editor was stuck in Paris… The sound mix and final colour was done in Los Angeles while I was in Belgium. It literally feels like this movie is on the run from Interpol!”
      But all the drama in Puerto Rico has not put Malin off returning – she reveals she fell in love with the country.
      “We started production just a week after the island was hit by a powerful earthquake,” she adds. “We hope our production can play a small part in bringing back a sense of normalcy to the community, as well as providing a small economic boost to the region. Puerto Rico has been a wonderful place to live and shoot. I look forward to returning for future films and TV shows and we hope we can encourage other productions to do the same.”

      Jessica Henwick Vows to Avoid Creating 'Any More Stereotypes' With 'Matrix 4' Role

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ actress is determined to ensure her character wasn’t stereotypically Asian in the upcoming fourth ‘Matrix’ installment and her other projects.

      Nov 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Matrix 4” star Jessica Henwick has been determined to “not create any more stereotypes” throughout her career.
      Henwick has appeared in several major franchises – from “Star Wars” and “Game of Thrones” to Marvel – throughout her career and, speaking to NME, she admits joining just prestigious movies is “trippy.”
      “I grew up watching these films,” she says. “The first time Keanu (Reeves) spoke in character and said Neo’s lines, Yahya (Abdul-Mateen II) and I shared a look like, ‘Oh my god, it’s happening!’ ”
      Her character in the new movie has yet to be disclosed, but she tells the publication that, as with the rest of her jobs, she made a conscious effort to ensure the character wasn’t stereotypically Asian.

      “I want to create roles that I don’t see enough of on screen,” insists Henwick. “I just really felt a pressure from myself to not create any more stereotypes than Asians already face.”
      She goes on to note that, looking back on her filmography, she has “a lot of roles where being Asian had nothing to do with them or their ethnicity was not defined in the script.”
      “I just want to create roles that I don’t feel I get to see enough of on screen,” explains the Brit. “I want to tell stories that I feel haven’t been told… that’s really what it’s all about.”
      The upcoming fourth movie will see the return of Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, Lambert Wilson, and Daniel Bernhardt. Lana Wachowski is also back as the director.
      Neil Patrick Harris, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, and Priyanka Chopra are among new additions to the cast.

      'Free Guy' and 'Death on the Nile' Call Off December Releases Amid Pandemic

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The release dates for the action-comedy fronted by Ryan Reynolds and the film directed by Kenneth Branagh have been put on hold indefinitely due to the ongoing health crisis.

      Nov 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Shawn Levy’s action-comedy “Free Guy”, starring Ryan Reynolds, and Kenneth Branagh’s “Death on the Nile” have been delayed amid the pandemic.
      The 20th Century Studios flicks were due to drop on 11 and 18 December (20), respectively, but bosses have opted to postpone the planned theatrical releases as the Covid-19 crisis continues to impact cinema audiences.
      In the U.S., moviegoing has yet to recover from the pandemic, with 55 per cent of theatres remaining shut, reported The Hollywood Reporter, including major locations like New York City and Los Angeles. Venues have similarly begun closing down again across Europe.
      Consequently, movies including “Dune” and James Bond flick “No Time to Die” have been delayed, with Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” the only new major release to hit the big screen in recent months.

        See also…

      Universal’s Freaky and Universal/DreamWorks Animations’ Thanksgiving offering “Croods: The New Age” will also hit theatres on 13 and 25 November, respectively, however, they’ll also be available on home media earlier than usual due to the circumstances.
      Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984”, from Warner Bros., closes the 2020 calendar, with the superhero sequel presently set for a 25 December release.
      Broadway has also been struggling to adapt to post-coronavirus world since lockdown was first imposed earlier this year. Many projects were either pushed back or called off as the industry was brought to a standstill due to the worldwide pandemic.
      There were 24 shows open and running on Broadway before the shutdown and five more were in previews. At least three productions, “Frozen”, “Hangmen”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” have already announced they will not return.
