      'Thor: Love and Thunder' Fans Rave Over Natalie Portman's Ripped Physique in New Set Pics

      by

      Marvel Studios

      The Jane Foster depicter looks jacked as she shows off her muscly arms underneath her burgundy T-shirt while filming the upcoming fourth Thor movie in Australia.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Natalie Portman has shown her muscly transformation for “Thor: Love and Thunder” and fans couldn’t help gushing over it. The Academy Award-winning actress had been training and hitting the gym for months to reprise her role as Jane Foster, and it all paid off.
      The “Black Swan” actress was recently spotted on the set of the upcoming Marvel movie as she continued filming for it in Australia. In some new set photos which have circulated online, the 39-year-old looked jacked as her muscly arms were on display underneath her short-sleeve burgundy T-shirt.
      Impressed by Portman’s ripped physique, a fan gushed on Twitter, “Dang Natalie Portman been hitting the weights big time!” Another quipped, “i would like to formally request for natalie portman to snap me in half.”
      Another had a similar reaction, tweeting, “Finally my long held dream of Natalie Portman lifting me over her head and snapping my back in half like Bane vs Batman seems like a possibility.” A fourth one exclaimed, “That ain’t Natalie Portman, that’s Natalie THORtman! HOLY HELL, SHE’S RIPPED!” Someone else praised Portman’s resemblance to Mighty Thor in the comics, “Natalie Portman really just said Mighty Thor comic accuracy.”

      In related news, a new set video may have hinted at how Jane becomes the Mighty Thor. During the filming set on what looks like a memorial of Odin with the backdrop of the ocean, Jane was spotted looking at the broken pieces of Mjolnir. Thor’s weapon was destroyed into shards by Hela (Cate Blanchett) in “Thor: Ragnarok”.
      Later, Portman’s stunt double was suspended in the air as she filmed a scene where Jane is jolted as if she gets electrocuted. It appears that Jane’s visit to Odin’s memorial triggers some kind of reaction from the Mjolnir shards that gives her both the mythical hammer and the abilities of the Mighty Thor.
      Besides Portman, the fourth installment of the “Thor” film series will see Chris Hemsworth returning as Thor and Tessa Thompson back as Valkyrie. Christian Bale is cast as the villain, Gorr the God Butcher, while Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan and Sean Gunn are reprising their “Guardians of the Galaxy” roles.
      Taika Waititi serves as the director for the movie, which is slated for a May 6, 2022 release in the United States.

      Riz Ahmed Claims 'Sound of Metal' Changes the Way He Looks at Life

      by

      Amazon Studios

      Calling the making of the movie ‘the most challenging, the most immersive, the most intense experience’ of his life, the actor says that it also make him a better listener.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Riz Ahmed doesn’t need the accolades and awards to prove his new film, “Sound of Metal”, is a hit – he knew he was part of something special while he was making the film.
      The actor, who plays a drummer battling the loss of his hearing in the movie, is an early Oscars favorite for Best Actor but his reward for making the film came as he wrapped the project.
      “This film was really the most challenging, the most immersive, the most intense experience of my life and the day we finished I told our director, Darius, if no one sees this film I’m still happy, because it just kind of changed me; it changed all of us…,” Riz tells “Good Morning America”. “It was a labor of love.”
      “It kinda changed the way I look at life, spending so much time with the deaf community, learning [to play] the drums, it opened me up in new ways.”

      “The fact that people are seeing it, let alone responding to it like this, is just the most mind-blowing bonus.”

      And the film made him a better listener, even though he was playing a deaf person.
      “My sign instructor… and the whole deaf community that he introduced me to in New York, I kind of think that they’re the best listeners I’ve ever met, because listening isn’t something you just do with your ears; it’s something you do with your whole body…”
      “On the film set, I was using audio blockers at times for when my character starts to lose his hearing – just to simulate that experience – and it made me listen with my body… The deaf community taught me the true meaning of listening, the true meaning of communication.”

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Star Wars’ star was originally tipped to front the ‘Creation Stories’ but the man who inspired the movie vetoed the plan because the actor was too good-looking.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Creation Records boss Alan McGee urged filmmakers to reconsider plans to ask Ewan McGregor to play the music mogul in a new biopic because he was too good looking.
      McGregor’s “Trainspotting” co-star Ewan Bremner eventually landed the role of McGee in “Creation Stories”, but the mastermind behind bands like Oasis and Primal Scream has revealed the “Star Wars” actor was initially lined up to portray him.
      “They proposed Ewan McGregor to me,” Alan tells NME.com. “I went, ‘I don’t look like that! I’m not a good looking chap! I’m just a wee guy from Glasgow.’ ”
      “Then they went, ‘What about Spud (Bremner’s Trainspotting character)?’ I was like, ‘F**king right!’ He’s such a great actor, Ewen Bremner. He gets me. He so gets me.”

      “Creation Stories” premiered last month (Feb21) at the Glasgow Film Festival, and it is set to be released on Sky Cinema on 20 March.
      Meanwhile, Ewan McGregor was last seen in the DC superhero movie “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” which is led by Margot Robbie.
      His next movie is a long-gestating adaptation of the classic children’s story “Pinocchio”. Co-written and co-directed by Guillermo del Toro, the film also features voice cast members like Ron Perlman, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, and Cate Blanchett.
      The actor is also cast for a new crime thriller “The Birthday Cake”, where he shares screen with Val Kilmer and Ashley Benson among others.

      Russell Crowe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson Signed On for True-Story Movie 'Rothko'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Gladiator’ actor is set to portray famed painter Mark Rothko in the upcoming movie which will be directed by his co-star Aaron’s wife Sam Taylor-Johnson.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Husband and wife Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are teaming up again for a new art world drama, based on Kate Rothko’s battle to protect the legacy of her dad, revered U.S. painter Mark Rothko.
      Sam will direct Aaron, Russell Crowe, and Aisling Franciosi in “Rothko”.
      Crowe will play Mark Rothko and Franciosi will portray his daughter in the film, adapted from Lee Seldes’ book “The Legacy of Mark Rothko”, which has been adapted by Lara Wood.
      Kate Rothko was a teenager when she was forced to take on her late father’s estate executors and the directors of his gallery, Marlborough Fine Art, to protect her dad’s work in a legal battle that stunned the art world.
      The Taylor-Johnsons, who met on the set of The Beatles film “Nowhere Boy”, will also executive produce the film.
      “Rothko is not just a movie about the great artist, but rather a timeless story about right versus wrong,” filmmaker Sam tells Deadline. “It’s Kate Rothko’s journey to protect the seminal paintings from the corrupt men who betrayed her father and stole his art; it is a reckoning with men in positions of power who try everything to destroy her father’s legacy.”

      Meanwhile, Kalinda Vazquez has signed up to become the first woman to write a “Star Trek” film.
      The “Fear the Walking Dead” executive producer has been hired to come up with the screenplay for the latest movie in the iconic sci-fi franchise by Paramount Pictures bosses and producer J.J. Abrams.
      Vazquez isn’t new to the “Star Trek” universe, having previously written episodes of the TV series “Star Trek: Short Treks” and “Star Trek: Discovery”.
      She has also written episodes of “Runaways”, “Once Upon a Time”, and “Nikita”.
      Her movie isn’t the only “Star Trek” production currently in the pipeline – Noah Hawley’s film has been put on hold by Paramount, with suggestions that a plot focused on a deadly virus would be too inappropriate to film amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
      Noah previously revealed the project will “feature a new crew of characters” and won’t feature icons of the franchise such as Captain Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard.

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Django Unchained’ actor is set to star in the Broadway revival and movie adaptation of the August Wilson play while the ‘Pan Am’ alum is signed on for a ‘monster’ movie.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and Danielle Brooks are reportedly set to star in a Broadway revival of “The Piano Lesson” and a subsequent movie adaptation
      According to the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye, Jackson’s wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson will direct the Broadway production of the August Wilson play when it premieres in 2022.
      Following that, a film will be made – although with a different director.
      Washington’s dad, Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington, previously revealed he would be producing the film and had tipped Barry Jenkins to helm it. However, it has now been reported that a different director is being lined up to take charge of the movie.
      According to BroadwayWorld, “The Piano Lesson” is set in 1936 Pittsburgh and follows “the lives of the Charles family as they deal with themes of family legacy and more, in deciding what to do with an heirloom, the family piano.”
      Meanwhile, Christina Ricci has signed up for another “Monster” movie.

        See also…

      The actress, who teamed up with Charlize Theron for “Monster”, will star in Chris Sivertson’s new movie “Monstrous”, which centres on a traumatised woman fleeing from her abusive ex-husband with her seven-year-old son.
      The film news comes as Ricci claims her real-life estranged husband, James Heerdegen, started abusing her at the end of 2019.
      In a recent restraining order request, she alleged he beat her and spat at her, dragging her by her wrists into their yard and throwing her into a fire pit during a fight last year.
      Heerdegen’s attorney, Larry Bakman, claims Ricci is the abusive partner, telling TMZ her conduct was “fuelled by alcohol and substance abuse.”
      But filmmaker Sivertson is thrilled Ricci has signed on for the film despite the life-imitating-art drama.
      “Carol Chrest has created an iconic genre character who Christina Ricci brings to life in a mesmerizing and deeply emotional performance,” he says.
