      In a new interview, the actress playing Jessica Stanley in the film series confesses that she wanted to ‘murder everyone’ because she was ‘so cold and miserable’ on the set.
      Jun 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Anna Kendrick had a miserable time shooting the “Twilight” series in Oregon, confessing she was so wet and cold all the time she wanted to kill her castmates.
      The actress has opened up about her experiences on the set of the films, in which she played high school student Jessica Stanley, in a new Vanity Fair interview and admits she doesn’t have great memories.
      “The first movie we filmed in Portland, Oregon, and I just remember being so cold and miserable… my Converse (sneakers) being completely soaked through and (I was) feeling like, ‘You know, this is a really great group of people and I’m sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone’,” Anna explains.

      “Although, it was also kind of bonding. There was something about it, like, if you go through some trauma event. Like you imagine people who survive a hostage situation, and you’re kind of bonded for life.”

      Tom Cruise Dodges Britain's New Quarantine Rule for 'Mission: Impossible VII' Filming

      The ‘Top Gun’ actor is believed to have arrived in the country through Biggin Hill airport outside of London just hours before the new measures for visitors came into play.
      Jun 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise has reportedly side-stepped the British Government’s new quarantine measures by flying into the U.K. just hours before new rules for visitors came into play.
      Cruise is believed to have landed at Biggin Hill airport outside of London on Sunday, June 07 ahead of resuming filming on “Mission: Impossible VII” – just hours before U.K. government rules requiring anyone entering the country to spend 14 days in isolation came into effect.
      According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the “Top Gun” star beat the new quarantine rules, and is now free to resume filming of the new “Mission: Impossible” movie at the blockbuster’s set at an abandoned RAF base in rural Oxfordshire.
      A source told the publication: “It’s no accident Tom arrived on Sunday night – they didn’t want their leading man locked away on his own for 14 days.”
      “There have already been so many delays to the film and everyone is keen to get it up and running at the first possible second – so slipping in before the quarantine rules came in on Monday made sense. Hopefully it will mean the film can get back on track and finished without any more delays.”
      After arriving on the 11-hour flight from Clearwater, Florida, the 57-year-old was whisked away to luxury rented accommodation in the capital – and will use a helicopter to travel to and from the set during filming breaks.
      Shooting on the latest instalment in the action franchise was halted in February, after coronavirus outbreaks prevented filming in Venice, Italy.
      Movie bosses have taken over an old Royal Air Force (RAF) site in Oxfordshire where they are reportedly building sets, and a village of high-end trailers so Cruise and the rest of the cast can live there in a pandemic-proof bubble while shooting.

      'Percy Jackson' Author Vows to Fix Movie Errors Through New Disney+ Series

      by

      Rick Riordan admits to have not seen the big screen adaptations of his book series after being so turned off by the scripts when a fan expressed admiration that he dislikes the movies more than fans.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The author of the “Percy Jackson” book series is hoping his new Disney+ series will correct errors in the movie adaptations he has never seen.
      Rick Riordan admits he’s not a fan of the film franchise and was so turned off by the scripts he vowed never to watch the movies, starring Logan Lerman.
      When a fan tweeted it’s “refreshing” that the author dislikes the movies more than fans over the weekend, he responded, “Well, to you guys, it’s a couple hours entertainment. To me, it’s my life’s work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them not to do it. So yeah. But it’s fine. All fine. We’re gonna fix it soon…”
      ‘Percy Jackson’ author vows to fix movie errors through new Disney+ series.
      “Finally, I still have not seen the movies, and don’t plan on ever doing so. I judge them from having read the scripts, because I care most about the story. I certainly have nothing against the very talented actors. Not their fault. I’m just sorry they got dragged into that mess.”
      Rick Riordan is not a fan of ‘Percy Jackson’ movies.
      The author recently announced that he’s working on a “Percy Jackson” TV series for Disney+ – and this time it will be a faithful adaptation of the books.
      “We are very excited about the idea of a live-action series of the highest quality, following the storyline of the original ‘Percy Jackson’ five-book series, starting with ‘The Lightning Thief’ in Season 1,” Riordan wrote.

      Report: Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' Sequel to Introduce a New Joker

      by

      According to an industry insider, the director plans to recast the role and feature the new incarnation of the supervillain in the second and third movies.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” sequel(s) may feature a new, yet familiar face. Words on the street are the filmmaker is going to include the famous DC Comics villain, the Joker, in his Batman trilogy, with a new actor taking on the role.
      According to The Direct, its contributing insider Daniel Richtman reveals that Reeves plans to feature the new incarnation of Joker in the second and third movies as one of the films’ multiple villains. The new Joker will also be referenced in the upcoming “The Batman”, though he likely won’t appear in the film.
      The site also notes that casting for the role has not begun yet.
      Previously, Robert Pattinson, who is cast as the Caped Crusader in Reeves’ movie, sparked a speculation of a possible crossover with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker following his interview with Variety in 2019. At the time, Variety New York bureau chief Ramin Setoodeh wrote, “At one point in our conversation, [Pattinson] offers a mundane comment about Joaquin Phoenix, who stars in Joker (a movie he hasn’t seen yet), before asking to retract it.”
      ” ‘Oh s**t,’ he says, adding that he’s not accustomed to thinking about spoilers,” Setoodeh recalled. The British actor went on to tell Setoodeh, “I definitely should not say that. I’m so used to pretty art-house movies, where you can watch the movie three times and still not know what it’s about.”
      It’s not clear what spoiler that he might have dropped, but people started speculating about the possible crossover.
      Meanwhile, another report by We Got This Covered last April mentioned that the sequel to Reeves’ movie would feature its version of the Joker (or Jokers) taking center stage, along with the beginnings of a full-on love story between Batman and Catwoman, who will be portrayed by Zoe Kravitz in the movie.
      The movie production has been halted due to the coronavirus outbreak. The pic has been scheduled for a June 25, 2021 launch. It’s currently unknown if the coronavirus pandemic will affect the release date.

      Willem Dafoe's Violent Acting During 'Tommaso' Filming Shocked Italian Neighbors

      by

      Faliro House Productions

      Cristina Chiriac, the wife of director Abel Ferrara and the actor’s partner in the film, reveals that they had difficulty convincing people not to call the police when they shot the aggressive scene.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Abel Ferrara and Willem Dafoe’s neighbours in Rome, Italy were so convinced a real-life drama was playing out before them as the old friends shot new movie “Tommaso”, they had to convince people not to call the police.
      Filmmaker Ferrara shot the film – his sixth with Dafoe – in his home in Rome and one scene called on his leading man to be violent and aggressive towards the director’s real wife and child.
      And the “Platoon” star’s acting was a little too realistic.
      “It was very real and very rough,” Ferrara’s wife Cristina Chiriac, who plays Dafoe’s partner in the film, says. “The neighbours would come out to their windows and stare like, ‘What happened!’.
      “We live in a building with five floors and a girl from the third floor saw this happening but she didn’t understand we were filming with the camera. She thought Willem was really hurting me! She said (through the door), ‘Did he do something to you? I’m going to call the police.’ We told her we were filming but she was absolutely convinced that Willem was going to hurt us and something happened.”
      And the director’s young daughter, Anna, had a real problem with all the shouting and the drama.
      “She usually does two takes but she didn’t want to do the second one in this scene where Willem loses his temper and screams, and throws a lamp,” Abel explains.
      Chiriac adds, “The scene with Anna and Willem, we did one take and she freaked out a little bit because she usually sees Willem as nice and gentle and then when he screamed out of the blue she said, ‘No, I don’t like it. Why is he screaming?’ We would tell her it’s not reality, it’s for the camera and he’s not mean, he’s a good man! It’s not cool to push something like that.”

      Bryce Dallas Howard Points Out 'The Help' Weakness as Educational Movie on Racial Equality

      by

      WENN

      While grateful for the friendship that came from the 2011 film, the Hillary Walters Holbrook depicter would rather her followers to watch such movies as ‘Malcolm X’, ‘Selma’ and ‘Just Mercy’.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bryce Dallas Howard has urged fans not to watch “The Help” to educate themselves on racial equality – instead offering a selection of movies with more appropriate messages to take away.
      Since the death of George Floyd at the hands of white police officers, and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests taking place around the world, the actress’ 2011 movie “The Help” has become the most-watched film on Netflix.
      Based on the controversial book of the same name by Kathryn Stockett, the film is set during the Civil Rights Movement in 1963, and tells the story of young journalist Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, played by Emma Stone, who decides to write a book about the racism encountered by black maids at that time.
      Bryce stars in the movie as Hillary “Hilly” Walters Holbrook, and took to Instagram to tell her followers that while she remains proud of the friendships she forged on set, there are other films more appropriate to watch right now.
      “I’ve heard that #TheHelp is the most viewed film on @netflix right now! I’m so grateful for the exquisite friendships that came from that film — our bond is something I treasure deeply and will last a lifetime,” she wrote. “This being said, The Help is a fictional story told through the perspective of a white character and was created by predominantly white storytellers. We can all go further.”
      “Stories are a gateway to radical empathy and the greatest ones are catalysts for action. If you are seeking ways to learn about the Civil Rights Movement, lynchings, segregation, Jim Crow, and all the ways in which those have an impact on us today, here are a handful of powerful, essential, masterful films and shows that center Black lives, stories, creators, and / or performers.”

      Among the films Bryce suggested watching were “Malcolm X”, “Selma” and “Just Mercy”.
      Bryce’s Instagram post comes after Viola Davis, who starred as Aibileen in the film, told The New York Times back in 2018 that appearing in the Oscar-winning film is one of her career regrets.
      “I just felt that at the end of the day that it wasn’t the voices of the maids that were heard,” she explained. “I know Aibileen. I know Minny (Octavia Spencer). They’re my grandma. They’re my mom. And I know that if you do a movie where the whole premise is, I want to know what it feels like to work for white people and to bring up children in 1963, I want to hear how you really feel about it. I never heard that in the course of the movie.”

      'Fantastic Four' Director Was Blocked From Casting Black Actress in 2015 Remake

      by

      20th Century Fox

      Josh Trank claims he wanted a black Sue Storm and black Franklin Storm in the 2015 superhero reboot but faced ‘a lot of pretty heavy pushback’ from the top heads.
      Jun 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Josh Trank wishes he’d fought harder to cast a black actress for the role of Sue Storm in his 2015 movie “The Fantastic Four”.
      While speaking with website Geeks of Color, the filmmaker opened up about his career regrets and admitted there were “a lot of controversial conversations that were had behind the scenes” during the making of the flick.
      “I was mostly interested in a black Sue Storm, a black Johnny Storm, and a black Franklin Storm,” he shared. “But also, when you’re dealing with a studio on a massive movie like that, everybody wants to keep an open mind to, like, who the big stars are going to be.”
      However, when it came to casting the part, Josh says he “found a lot of pretty heavy pushback on casting a Black woman in that role… when I look back on that, I should have just walked when that realisation sort of hit me, and I feel embarrassed about that, that I didn’t just out of principle.”
      He added, “I’m somebody who always talks about standing up for what I believe in, even if it means burning my career out. I feel bad that I didn’t take it to the mat with that issue. I feel like I failed in that regard.”
      Kate Mara starred as Sue in the film opposite Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, and her future husband Jamie Bell.
