      Sacha Baron Cohen Donates $100K to Pranked 'Borat' Babysitter Who's Paid Only $3,600 for the Movie

      by

      Amazon Prime/GoFundMe

      The ‘Borat’ actor makes a $100,000 donation to Jeanise Jones after it was revealed she ‘wasn’t paid much money’ for the new flick ‘Subsequent Moviefilm’.

      Oct 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sacha Baron Cohen has pledged $100,000 (£77,500) to “babysitter” Jeanise Jones’ Oklahoma community, after she made a big impact with her scene-stealing appearance in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm”.
      Jones was one of the sequel’s breakout stars and quickly became a fan favourite after appearing as a “babysitter” hired to watch Borat’s 15-year-old daughter – played by the 24-year-old Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova.
      While filming, Jones was reportedly told she would be appearing in a documentary about child brides and that the film would largely only be seen overseas.
      Pastor Derrick Scobey, of Jones’ Ebenezer Baptist Church, previously set up a GoFundMe crowdfunding page in her honour, as she was told she’d be playing a ” ‘Black Grandmother’ in a ‘documentary.’ ”
      “Jeanise emerged as that person and she was completely unaware that this was a comedy, and all of this was made up,” reads a statement on the page. “The joke is on us/Jeanise and that’s no problem.”

      It adds that Jones “wasn’t paid much money” for the film and she was worried about the fate of Bakalova’s Tutar for the duration of filming.
      When WENN went to press, the fundraiser had already amassed over $140,000 (£108,500) and, outside of the online platform, Cohen also donated $100,000 in Jones’ honour.
      Scobey told People, “I was blown away but not surprised because I was told about what type of heart this man has. Maybe it’s a little risque, some of the things in the movie, but he has a good heart.”
      “While all these people around the world are loving how she’s the moral compass of the movie, she’s sitting here serving people in the dark and in the cold,” he added of Jones. “This is who we are. This is what we do for our community, and we love our community.”
      “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” is currently screening on Amazon Prime Video.

      David and Victoria Beckham Secure $20.5M Deal to Share Family Videos on Netflix

      WENN

      David Beckham and his fashion designer wife have reportedly inked a multi-million deal with the streaming giant to release their family footage for a documentary on their life.

      Oct 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly set to share never-seen-before home movies as part of a new deal with Netflix.
      According to sources, the couple has signed a deal with the streamer worth in excess of $20.5 million (£16 million) to release archives of home footage for a documentary about their life.
      The soccer star will feature in intimate camcorder footage from family birthdays, Christmases, and other celebrations, reports allege, with insiders telling British tabloid The Sun the fly-on-the-wall programme will also recount the couple’s love story from their early dates to the present day.

      “This is a real coup for Netflix – and will show a completely different side to David, one the public very rarely get to see,” they shared. “David’s family are all massive archivers; they’ve been proudly documenting his career since he was a boy and have kept all the old local newspaper cuttings, school records and team photos throughout the years.”
      “There’s even some classic camcorder footage from various birthdays, Christmases and special occasions, as well as some hilarious insights into David and Victoria’s early dates.”
      The insider added, “Needless to say, David is bound to come off brilliantly while viewers will get to see Victoria’s quick wit. A camera crew will also document David’s life now, following him around the globe as he fulfils various business ventures.”
      David and Victoria’s children, Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 18, Cruz, 15, and Harper, nine, are also expected to feature in the forthcoming project, produced under their Studio 99 company, which is unlikely to air until early 2022 amid the pandemic.

      ‘Rogue City’ Review: An Action Movie Skimping on Action

      by

      Crime fiction has long been fascinated by the fuzzy line between crooked cops and the criminals they are meant to chase. The new French film “Rogue City” tramples it, positing that corruption is pervasive and we live in a hopeless, brutal world from which there is no escape. It’s a bleak vision that makes Olivier Marchal’s movie radical in its nihilism.Unfortunately, “Rogue City,” which is streaming on Netflix, is also an ineffectual muddle. This is somewhat surprising coming from Marchal, a former police officer turned writer-director who displayed storytelling chops while exploring murky moral quandaries in both features like “36th Precinct” and entertainingly gonzo series like “Braquo.” Here it’s hard to tell what’s going on — and, by extension, care — in a war between rival police factions and rival gangs duking it out in Marseille. (The original title is “Bronx,” the borough name having become French slang for a messy situation.)[embedded content]Aside from a perfunctory early assault on a bar, Marchal makes do without set pieces: no ratcheting of tension, no elaborate chases (not even by foot, despite the tantalizing presence of David Belle, a key figure of parkour and the star of the cult movie “District B13”). Instead, we get … not much at all.Lannick Gautry is broodingly handsome as the designated lead, Richard Vronski — this is the kind of thriller that features a conversation about “Anna Karenina” and sets a gunfight to a baroque aria. But the part is a walking cliché and Gautry barely stands out in a sea of grim dudes dressed in black.More interesting are the beloved veterans who fill key supporting roles: Jean Reno as a grizzled police chief; Gérard Lanvin as a grizzled clan boss; the Italian star Claudia Cardinale as a grizzled Corsican matriarch. Every time they turn up, “Rogue City” finds a pulse. And then it’s back to men staring at each other, clenching their jaws.Violent, law-defying cops would be a tough sell at any time, but “Rogue City” is oblivious to the changed context surrounding their stories. They don’t hold much romantic allure nowadays.Rogue CityNot rated. In French, with subtitles. Running time: 1 hour 56 minutes. Watch on Netflix. More

      'Justice League' Helmer Joss Whedon Calls Ray Fisher's Claim of Altering Actor's Skin Color 'False'

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The cyborg depicter has detailed an alleged instance which prompted him to speak out about Whedon, saying that he heard ‘blatantly racist conversations’ among studio executives.

      Oct 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Justice League” director Joss Whedon has denied Ray Fisher’s latest allegation that he digitally altered the skin tone of a person of color in the movie. In a statement released through his spokesperson, the filmmaker labeled the claim as “false.”
      “The individual who offered this statement acknowledged that this was just something that he had heard from someone else and accepted as truth, when in fact simple research would prove that it was false,” Whedon said in the statement.
      Explaining the editing process of a movie, “The Avengers” helmer continued, “As is standard on almost all films, there were numerous people involved with mixing the final product, including the editor, special effects person, composer, etc. with the senior colorist responsible for the final version’s tone, colors, and mood.”
      “This process was further complicated on this project by the fact that [original director] Zack [Snyder] shot on film, while Joss shot on digital, which required the team, led by the same senior colorist who has worked on previous films for Zack, to reconcile the two,” the statement claimed.
      But Fisher stands firm on his claim. In response to Whedon’s denial, the Cyborg depicter said in a statement to CinemaBlend, “This is only a hair’s breadth away from Berg’s, ‘Fisher was upset about booyah’ defense.”

      “I’ve been trying my best to make sure that Joss Whedon and Jon Berg aren’t able to be thrown completely under the bus by the other guys. But when they make these half baked knee-jerk excuses publicly, they make my job a lot harder. I’m settling in with my family for the night,” he said, before promising, “I’ll have a more in-depth response tomorrow.”
      Previously, Fisher elaborated his allegations of toxic work environment which he first raised against Whedon in July. In an interview with Forbes, he claimed to have heard “blatantly racist conversations” among studio executives.
      “What set my soul on fire and forced me to speak out about Joss Whedon this summer was my becoming informed that Joss had ordered that the complexion of an actor of color be changed in post-production because he didn’t like the color of their skin tone,” the 33-year-old actor said. “Man, with everything 2020’s been, that was the tipping point for me.”
      The magazine noted that multiple actors of color had their parts heavily reduced or completely cut from the film’s theatrical release, including Ryan Choi’s Zheng Kai and Kiersey Clemons’ Iris West. In response to this, Whedon’s representatives said that these decisions were made prior to him leading the project.
      But Fisher said that “race was just one of the issues with the reshoot process.” He also complained about “massive blowups, threats, coercion, taunting, unsafe work conditions, belittling, and gaslighting like you wouldn’t believe” on the set.
      Warner Bros. has since launched an internal investigation regarding Fisher’s claims, though the studio claimed that Fisher was not cooperative with a third-party investigator.
