      The actress, who plays the matriarch of a dangerous North Dakota clan in the new thriller, also thanks her 65-year-old co-star for helping her get to grips with her onset firearms.

      Nov 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – British actress Lesley Manville was determined to “get down and dirty” and pull off her own stunts in new Western “Let Him Go” after watching co-star Kevin Costner in action.
      The “Phantom Thread” star plays the tough matriarch of a dangerous North Dakota clan living off the grid in the new thriller, and Manville admits she was eager to “flex muscles” she had never used before – and it’s all thanks to 65-year-old Costner, who also helped her get to grips with her onset firearms.
      “I thought, ‘Yeah, I’m going to get down and dirty as well! If he can do it, I’m going to do it, too,’ having done none of it ever,” Manville laughed to The Associated Press.
      “I suddenly decided I was going to be the stunt girl. I was going to throw myself around. I was going to be handling that gun having never picked a gun up in my life. But I did have Kevin helping me. And I did it. And he said I did it really, really well and that he was actually quite scared.”

      Manville was so adept at the stunt work, filmmaker Thomas Bezucha didn’t feel the need to call in her double.
      “I got to flex muscles that I haven’t really flexed before,” she smiled. “It was just thrilling.”
      “Let Him Go”, based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Larry Watson, also stars Diane Lane as Costner’s wife, and Manville was particularly excited to share the screen with the pair.
      “It was a no-brainer,” she said of taking on the role, although she was initially a little nervous about working alongside the Hollywood veterans.
      “They’re great actors, but they’re also movie stars and that can be intimidating,” Manville shared. “Although I say very, very quickly on the heels of that statement that neither of them play that role. They don’t do the movie star thing. They are workers like me.”

      First 'Spider-Man 3' Set Photo Is Realistic Take on COVID-Stricken World

      by

      Sony Pictures

      Tom Holland shares a serious, yet hilarious message with a picture of him wearing a face mask over his Spider-Man costume on the set of the ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ sequel.

      Nov 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland has taken to his Instagram page to offer fans a glimpse of the upcoming Spider-Man movie. And if his latest post is any indication, the yet-to-be-titled “Spider-Man 3” is going to reflect how the world has adjusted to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
      On Friday, November 6, the Peter Parker depicter shared a picture of him on the set of the movie. He wore what appeared to be the web-crawler’s costume from “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, but with an added new item, a face mask.
      It’s unclear if the face mask will still be featured in the final cut of the film, but Holland made use of the post to share an important message to his followers. “Wear a mask,” he reminded people, before adding in a less serious note, “I’m wearing two…”

      Cast and crew of “Spider-Man 3” arrived in Atlanta in October to begin filming the movie. On Tuesday, November 3, Holland shared on his Instagram Stories a GIF of himself dancing in the Spider-Man suit from “Spider-Man: Homecoming” to celebrate the start of production.

      Meanwhile, another behind-the-scenes photo has fueled rumor of Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) appearance in the “Far From Home” sequel. Earlier this month, makeup artist Donald McInnes posted on his private Instagram account an image of a salon room in Atlanta, Georgia.
      McInnes excitedly wrote over it, “Mine !!! All MIIINE!!!” It’s unclear why he’s in Atlanta, but McInnes is Cumberbatch’s personal hairstylist and makeup artist who also did his makeup when he portayed Doctor Strange in MCU movies.

      Donald McInnes, Benedict Cumberbatch’s personal hairstylist and makeup artist, showed his salon room in Atlanta.
      It was reported that Doctor Strange would fill in a mentor role that was previously occupied by Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man in “Homecoming” and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in “Far From Home”. With his own upcoming movie “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” being set to be released after “Spider-Man 3”, it is believed that he will make way for the multiverse storyline in “Spider-Man 3”.
      The third Spider-Man movie starring Holland is slated for December 17, 2021 release. Sam Raimi, who directed the original “Spider-Man” trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, is serving as the helmer.

      The former ‘Blade’ actor has announced a big-screen project described as a ‘Foxy Brown meets Mission: Impossible’ and is now on the hunt for a fresh femme fatale.

      Nov 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Wesley Snipes has abandoned plans to return to the big screen in a “Blade” revamp and is now launching his own action movie franchise.
      The movie star reveals his new project, “Indigo”, is “Foxy Brown meets Mission: Impossible” and he’s on the hunt for fresh talent to lead the cast.
      “We are looking for new talent and want to discover a new female action star, a woman of colour, and a bunch of her girlfriends who do their La Femme Nikita thing,” Snipes tells the “Life Is… with Damien King Lee” podcast.
      “We are doing a global virtual casting. We have a body movement specialist, where we would take them through a training programme, bringing grand masters from various disciplines like martial arts, dance, cinematography, directing; all of the things that go into the qualities that you need to become an action star.”

      “It’s the next Blade 4 kind of stuff that we didn’t do with Marvel – we’re doing it ourselves. We have all of that Blade-esque mixed, hybrid type of action content.”
      Earlier this year (20), Snipes told fans he supports Mahershala Ali’s casting as vampire vigilante Blade in a revamp of his 1990s action-horror film trilogy.
      “To all the DAYWALKERS losing their minds right now, chillaaxx (sic),” Wesley told ComicBook.com. “Although the news comes as a surprise, it’s ALL GOOD. Such is the ‘business’ of ‘entertainment…!’
      “Congratulations and Salaam (peace) to Mahershala Ali, a beautiful and talented artist whose expressions I look forward to experiencing for many years to come. Inshallah (God willing), we will someday work together.”

      The movie was due to receive its world premiere at the Raindance Film Festival on Friday – but the event has been delayed until December as the U.K. re-entered lockdown on Thursday.
      Other winners at Raindance included Johnny Flynn, who won Best Performance for his portrayal of a young David Bowie in biopic “Stardust”, Milcho Manchevski, who was named Best Director for “Willow”, and Greek comedy “Not to Be Unpleasant but We Need to Have a Serious Talk”, which won Film of the Festival.

      Johnny Depp Agrees to Leave 'Fantastic Beasts' Franchise After Losing Libel Battle

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor announces he will be stepping down as Gellert Grindelwald in the ‘Happy Potter’ spin-off movies after he lost in a legal feud with a British tabloid.

      Nov 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Johnny Depp has exited the “Fantastic Beast” movie franchise after losing his U.K. libel battle over domestic violence allegations.
      The actor sued tabloid bosses at The Sun after he was labelled a “wife beater” in a 2018 article related to claims made by his ex-spouse, Amber Heard, but the judge ruled against him on Monday (02Nov20).
      Lawyers for Depp, who has always denied Heard’s accusations, vowed to appeal the decision, but the legal drama has prompted Warner Bros. chiefs to cut ties with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star for their “Harry Potter” spin-off movies.
      Depp took to Instagram on Friday to announce he was stepping down as Gellert Grindelwald in the third “Fantastic Beasts” film, as requested by studio executives.
      He also used the post to express his gratitude to fans for their support, as the defiant 57 year old declared his intention to challenge the U.K. court ruling.

      “Finally, I wish to say this. The surreal judgement of the court in the U.K. will not change my fight to tell the truth and I confirm that I plan to appeal. My resolve remains strong and I intend to prove that the allegations against me are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment in time.”
      Meanwhile, Warner Bros. officials have confirmed plans to recast Depp’s role as the dark wizard, which he portrayed in 2016’s “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, and its 2018 sequel, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”.
