      Isla Fisher has been spotted in Aussie with husband Sacha Baron Cohen. The couple, who got married in 2010, share three children together. They are apparently moving their family Down Under as they enrolled their kids in a school in Sydney, the city where the pair first met.

      Fisher who grew up in Perth made no secret of her desire to move back to her home country to raise her children. “I have this secret fantasy of slowing down, moving to Byron Bay, getting off the grid and sitting on the sand with a Vegemite sandwich,” she said in a 2018 interview.

      Keith Urban has also arrived in Australia with his actress wife Nicole Kidman and their daughters Sunday and Faith. Coincidentally, Nicole has been tapped for new miniseries “Nine Perfect Strangers” which will be filmed in the country as well.

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      To celebrate what would have been the T’Challa depicter’s 44th birthday, Marvel Studios unveils a new intro graphic on the Disney+ streaming version of ‘Black Panther’.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marvel Studios has paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman on what would have been his 44th birthday. The studio has unveiled new opening credits for the late actor’s movie “Black Panther” on the Disney+ streaming version.
      In place of the usual opening logo sequence showing characters from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new intro graphic displays photos and footage of Boseman in “Black Panther” as well as behind-the-scenes moments of the late actor.
      There are also glimpses of screenplay featuring T’Challa’s dialogs, including his famous line “Wakanda Forever” and his message which reads, “In times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.” The opening credits end with Marvel Studios logo with new purple backdrop instead of red. “Black Panther” rolled out a purple carpet in lieu of a red one for its world premiere in 2018.

      Disney chairman Bob Iger teased the tribute on Twitter, writing, “To all fans of #BlackPanther: watch the film on #DisneyPlus late tonight, for a special tribute to someone that was and will always be near and dear to our hearts.”

Happy Birthday. Wishing we could time travel back to this moment,” he wrote in the caption.

      “Black Panther” star Lupita Nyong’o posted along with a picture of her with Boseman, “Deeply loved, sorely missed. #ChadwickBoseman.” Kerry Washington shared a picture of Boseman smiling and added in the caption, “Remembering you today, @chadwickboseman. Happy Birthday King.”

      Boseman, who was born on November 29, 1976, died on August 28 of this year at 43 years old after a secret battle with colon cancer. He was diagnosed with the illness in 2016, but continued filming several movies, including “Black Panther”, “Da 5 Bloods”, “21 Bridges” and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, in between receiving treatment for his cancer.

      Kristen Stewart Gets 'Happiest Season' Role Thanks to 2017 'SNL' Monologue

      by

      NBC

      Director Clea DuVall, who came up with the LGBTQ-plus holiday movie’s story line, admits that she knew the ‘Twilight’ actress was perfect to play Abby after seeing her being funny and silly.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kristen Stewart’s acclaimed “Saturday Night Live (SNL)” monologue helped the actress land her role in LGBTQ+ holiday movie “Happiest Season”.
      During her 2017 appearance on the U.S. TV sketch show, Kristen confirmed she is “like, so gay,” and Clea DuVall, who came up with the new film’s story line and directed it, knew the “Twilight” star was perfect for the part when she saw her “silly” side on the program.
      “She is known as an actor for doing more dramatic work, but seeing her on ‘SNL’, so funny and so silly, was thrilling,” Clea tells Britain’s Diva magazine. “That’s what made me feel like, OK, I think this is the perfect person to play Abby because she can have the humor and the warmth but then also be able to connect with the emotional journey of the character.”

      The writer/director goes on to admit she’s thrilled with the partnership Kristen forged with her co-star and on-screen lover Mackenzie Davis, revealing they have “this depth and nuance to their performance where you really feel for them and you really feel connected to their experience.”
      “I knew that for these two characters, I really needed that. Particularly for Mackenzie’s character, whose journey is so complicated,” she muses. “To have an actor that was able to play all those layers and bring everything to it was really, really vital and Mackenzie knocked it out of the park.”
      “Happiest Season” follows Kristen’s character, Abby, who is planning to propose to her girlfriend over the festive season, only to find out her partner’s family don’t know about their relationship. The movie is available on Hulu and digital download services now.

      Jude Law Warned of Covid-19 Pandemic by Real Scientists on Set of 'Contagion' Years Ago

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor says he ‘wasn’t hugely surprised’ by the global coronavirus pandemic because of his experience on the set of his 2011 movie.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jude Law “wasn’t hugely surprised” by the Covid-19 pandemic after starring in 2011 movie “Contagion”.
      The 47-year-old actor appeared as Alan Krumwiede in the film, which chronicles the spread of a deadly virus. Speaking to GQ magazine about his role in the movie, Jude he always believed that something similar would happen in the real world.
      “There was absolutely the sense that this was going to happen,” he mused. “The great scientists on set with us who had worked with Scott (Z. Burns) the writer and (director) Steven (Soderbergh) were very learned and experienced individuals who knew what to expect. And they all said to us that this was going to happen – and it was a case of when rather than if.”
      “The way they described it, which is exactly as it has happened, just made sense. What’s scary is you learn in a set like that because you’re being advised by experts, but it doesn’t necessarily sit.”

      Jude added that, when he first started hearing reports of the Covid-19 virus and its start in China, his “alarm bells” started going off.
      “When 2020 started, and we heard about what was initially happening in China, what fast became apparent around the world, it rang alarm bells,” he said. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t hugely surprised.”
      Meanwhile, his co-star Kate Winslet said in a separate interview earlier this year that the 2011 movie prepared her for the horrors of the coronavirus pandemic.
      “People thought I was crazy because I had been walking around wearing a mask for weeks, going into the grocery store and wiping everything down with isopropyl alcohol and wearing gloves,” she told the The Hollywood Reporter. “Then all of a sudden, March 13 came around, and people were like, ‘F**k, where do I get one of those masks?'”

      Viggo Mortensen Hopes to Change Views of Dementia With New Movie After Caring for Parents

      by

      HanWay Films

      The ‘Crimson Tide’ actor is keen to bust the myths about dementia after having an up close experience while caring for his mother and father during their battle with the illness.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Viggo Mortensen wants his directorial debut “Falling” to change views of dementia after seeing the neurodegenerative condition up close while caring for his parents.
      The “Lord of the Rings” actor, 62, directs and stars in Falling, which follows a gay man who looks after his sick father, Willis, in old age.
      It’s an incredibly personal project for the star as his mother, Grace, died in 2015 after battling dementia, while his dad, Viggo, Sr., passed away two years later after a similar fight.
      “I’ve had experience with dementia up close,” Mortensen tells British newspaper The Times. “I’ve had it with both my parents, and my grandparents, and my stepfather. And with my parents, it was in a care-giving role, where it was daily, hourly, by the minute.”

        See also…

      Describing what drew him to make the movie, Viggo says cinema has largely misrepresented the topic and wants to change how people see dementia sufferers.
      “Even in the best movies about dementia we’re looking at someone who’s confused,” he explains. “And in my experience those who are confused are the observers. Generally speaking, the person who has dementia is not confused unless you correct them.”
      “Which is almost always a mistake. Don’t tell them that the person they’re talking about happily actually died 20 years ago! For what? They die again for them!”
      “And if they are still in that in-between stage, where they can come in and out of it, they realise that they’ve said something stupid and feel doubly bad. You have to examine why you have the need to correct them. It’s for yourself, because you want that person to be what they were. I wanted the film to show the present from the point of view of Willis. And I think we achieved that.”
      “Falling” is in cinemas from 4 December (20).

      Xfinity

      The ‘Battle of the Sexes’ actor channels his inner Santa as he is spreading the festive joy in his new holiday short movie ahead of the upcoming Christmas season.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Steve Carell is suiting up as Santa for a new festive short.
      Two minutes of the funnyman’s “Christmas Gift Xfinity” film debuted during NBC’s broadcast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in America on Thursday (26Nov20) and now the full film is available online.
      [embedded content]
      Directed by “I, Tonya” ‘s Craig Gillespie, the film features Carell’s Santa urging his elves to come up with better gift ideas to keep kids happy at the end of an awful 2020 via a videoconference.

      As a new version of “Supertramp’s Dreamer”, recorded by the band’s frontman Roger Hodgson, strikes up, the elves hit upon the idea to give the spirit of the holidays instead of traditional gifts.
      “The holidays are really about moments of togetherness with the people you love, and serve as a reminder for what’s most important, especially given the hardships of this past year,” Carell said. “I hope that this sweet little story will bring a bit of cheer.”
      Meanwhile, director Gillespie thinks his leading man made a great Father Christmas, adding, “He brought the heart, warmth and humour that is the magic of this spot.”
      Before starring in the holiday movie, Steve Carell was seen on the big screen in political comedy movie “Irresistible”. It follows a Democratic strategist who tries to help a local candidate win an election in a small right-wing town.
      The actor will next star in the second “Minions” movie. He will once again lend his voice to the favorite super-villain Gru. The “Minions: The Rise of Gru” was originally set to debut this summer but it got pushed back to 2021 due to pandemic.

      Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus Rumored to Return for 'Spider-Man 3'

      by

      Columbia Pictures

      Following speculation about an inter-dimensional, multiverse storyline, the ‘Da Vinci Code’ actor is said to reprise his villainous role from Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 2’.

      Nov 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man 3” is likely to be jam-packed with familiar faces from the previous franchises. Amid the wild speculation about an inter-dimensional, multiverse storyline, a Sam Raimi Spider-Man villain is said to return for the sequel to “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, which is also directed by the helmer.
      According to the GWW, a source within Disney/Marvel has informed that Alfred Molina will reprise his role as the famed villain Doctor Octopus. He portrayed the character in 2004’s “Spider-Man 2”, which starred Tobey Maguire as the titular superhero.
      The source additionally told the site that Molina already visited the set “to work on some stunt choreography and has started filming his scenes in the past couple weeks.” The “Boogie Nights” star is reported to appear in “full Doc Ock mode,” but it’s unclear “whether this version of the tentacle laden doctor was the same from Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 2’ or a new version.”
      Besides Doctor Octopus, Jamie Foxx’s Electro has been reported to return for the next installment in the Sony/Marvel Spider-Man film franchise. The actor himself seemed to confirm it as he posted on Instagram after the news broke in early October, “Tell Spidey let’s run it back!… super excited to [be] part of the new marvel Spider-Man new installment…”

      “can’t wait for y’all to check the new one. And I won’t be blue in this one!! But a thousand percent bada**!!!” he went on teasing a new look for his character, before deleting the post. Foxx previously played the character in 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”, which was directed by Marc Webb and had Andrew Garfield in the lead role.
      Recently, “Doctor Strange” director Scott Derrickson fueled the speculation about a multi-film Spider-Man crossover in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as he stated that “all Spider-Man iterations are defacto MCU.” He, however, later backtracked on his own remark, saying, “I was joking in an exchange with @ManMadeMoon. Everyone needs to calm down.”
      Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is also rumored to appear in “Spider-Man 3”, allowing the multiverse storyline. It is said that the Sorcerer Supreme would fill in a mentor role that was previously occupied by Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in “Far From Home”.
      The yet-to-be-titled “Spider-Man 3” is currently in production for a planned December 17, 2021 release.
