“To All the Boys: Always and Forever” is set to be released on Netflix on February 12, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Lana Condor returns as Lara, while Noah Centineo reprises his role as Peter.

Condor goes on dishing on Lara’s dream beyond high-school graduation, “It’s really cool to kind of see her start to think about her future as an independent woman, regardless of whether or not maybe her relationships are going to follow with her.”

The Sam Levinson-directed drama for Netflix has been met with backlash for pairing up the ‘Tenet’ actor and the ‘Euphoria’ actress despite their 12 years of age difference.

Jan 14, 2021
AceShowbiz – John David Washington was not “concerned” about the 12-year age gap between him and his “Malcolm & Marie” co-star Zendaya Coleman.
The 36-year-old “Tenet” star and the 24-year-old “Euphoria” actress play the titular filmmaker and his girlfriend in the upcoming drama for Netflix.
And John has insisted Zendaya is a woman beyond her years and has “far more experience” in the movie industry than he does so he’s been “learning” a lot from her.
“I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman,” he told Variety. “People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is. She has far more experience than I do in the industry. I’ve only been in it for seven years. She’s been in it longer, so I’m learning from her. I’m the rookie.”
“I was leaning on her for a lot.”

“Some of the stories she’s shared about what she’s had to go through with Twitter and everything. I appreciated her wisdom and discernment when it comes to this business. I admire that.”

Heaping praise on “The Greatest Showman” star and the flick’s director, Sam Levinson, for the “versatility” they brought to the film, he added, “What I’m really excited for people to see when the film is released – they’re going to see how mature she is in this role. We’re talking about versatility, and Sam and Zendaya brought both.”
The two stars quietly shot the film in Carmel, California, from June 17 to July 2, 2020, after Zendaya contacted “Euphoria” showrunner Sam to ask him if he could write and direct a movie during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Within six days, he had written the story – which is said to have “echoes of” Netflix’s “Marriage Story” and features a number of social themes being experienced during the pandemic – and had John in mind to star opposite Zendaya.

Citing concern over his children amid the leaked DM scandal, the ‘Call My by Your Name’ actor says Lionsgate is supporting his decision to step down from his role in the Jennifer Lopez-starring movie.

Jan 14, 2021
AceShowbiz – Armie Hammer has broken his silence after his alleged DMs leaked online and caused social media chatter. Following the scandal, the actor has departed an upcoming movie, “Shotgun Wedding”, in which he was supposed to act alongside Jennifer Lopez.
Addressing his exit from the movie in light of the scandal, the 34-year-old father of two decried “the vicious and spurious online attacks” against him as he cited concern over his children as the reason why he exited the project. “I’m not responding to these b******* claims,” he said in a statement released on Wednesday, January 13.
“…but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,” Armie added. On the studio’s reaction to his exit, he claimed, “Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”

Echoing Armie’s statement, a representative for the production said, “Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision.” Production on the romantic adventure film is set to begin immediately, but his role will now be recast.
This arrives after Armie’s alleged DMs leaked online, exposing his text messages to women which described graphic accounts of sex acts and cannibalism. “I am 100 per cent a cannibal. I want to eat you,” one message read. Another message alleged that the actor had cut “the heart out of an animal” and ate it. Other screenshots include alleged messages from the actor asking if he can drink people’s blood.
Armie was trending on Twitter following the leaked DMs, with his rumored former flame Jessica Ciencin Henriquez confirming that the leaked DMs are real. “If you are still questioning whether or not those Armie Hammer DMs are real (and they are) maybe you should start questioning why we live in a culture willing to give abusers the benefit of the doubt instead of victims,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet, adding, “TW// sexual violence.”

The Screen Actors Guild Awards was initially scheduled to take place on March 14 before music’s big night got rescheduled to the same date due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

Jan 14, 2021
AceShowbiz – The 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards have moved to April to avoid a clash with the Grammys.
Music’s big night was rescheduled to 14 March (21) last week (ends January 08), due to ongoing COVID concerns, upsetting SAG bosses who had already moved their prizegiving from 24 January to that date.
SAG-AFTRA union officials went public with their displeasure stating, “We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organizations throughout the industry.”
Bosses at the actors union immediately engaged in discussions with Recording Academy officials, who run the Grammy Awards, about the clash. “In an environment that is increasingly challenging for televised awards programs, we also have a mutual interest in successfully showcasing the artistry and talent of our respective memberships,” the statement continued to read.

“We are in contact with the Recording Academy and will continue to work with our sister organisations to find ways to make this year’s awards season as successful as possible,” they said at the time.
But rather than fight Grammy bosses, SAG Awards chiefs have optioned a new date – 4 April.

SAG Awards nominations are being accepted now and will be announced on 4 February. Voting will now close on 30 March, rather than 10 March.
As for the Grammys, the nominations were already announced in November 2020, with Beyonce Knowles leading the pack.

But that came more than six months after a host of other countries had taken steps to buffer the strain of the pandemic on the arts and artists. Here are the highlights, and missteps, from eight countries’ efforts.FrancePresident Emmanuel Macron of France was one of the first world leaders to act to help freelance workers in the arts. The country has long had a special unemployment system for performing artists that recognizes the seasonality of such work and helps even out freelancers’ pay during fallow stretches. In May, Mr. Macron removed a minimum requirement of hours worked for those who had previously qualified for the aid. He also set up government insurance for TV and film shoots to deal with the threat of closure caused by the pandemic. Other countries, including Britain, quickly copied the move.GermanyGermany’s cultural life has always been heavily subsidized, something that insulated many arts institutions from the pandemic’s impact. But in June, the government announced a $1.2 billion fund to get cultural life restarted, including money directed to such projects as helping venues upgrade their ventilation systems. And more assistance is on the way. Germany’s finance ministry intends to launch two new funds: one to pay a bonus to organizers of smaller cultural events (those intended for up to a few hundred people), so they can be profitable even with social distancing, and another to provide insurance for larger events (for several thousand attendees) to mitigate the risk of cancellation. Germany is not the first to implement such measures; Austria introduced event insurance in January.BritainIn July, the British government announced a cultural bailout package worth about $2.1 billion — money that saved thousands of theaters, comedy clubs and music venues from closure. In December, several major institutions, including the National Theater and the Royal Shakespeare Company, were also given long-term loans under the package. Even with the help, there have already been around 4,000 layoffs at British museums alone, and more in other sectors.The National Theater in London was one of several major institutions to receive a long-term loan from the British government in December.Credit…Lauren Fleishman for The New York TimesPolandEuropean cultural aid hasn’t been enacted without controversy. In November, Poland announced recipients of a $100 million fund meant to compensate dance, music and theater companies for earnings lost because of restrictions during the pandemic. But the plan was immediately attacked by some news outlets for giving money to “the famous and rich,” including pop stars and their management. The complaints prompted the culture minister to announce an urgent review of all payments, but the government ultimately defended them, and made only minor changes.The Coronavirus Outbreak More
