      'Deadpool' Creator Slams Marvel for Third Movie Delay

      by

      20th Century Fox

      Blaming the studio for the uncertain green light for ‘Deadpool 3’, comic book writer Rob Liefeld says in a new interview, ‘They are the reason it isn’t happening.’
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox, “Deadpool” is now part of the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Rob Liefeld, the creator of the Merc with the Mouth, isn’t too happy with the way the studio is handling the movie franchise of his anti-hero character.
      Despite the success of “Deadpool 2”, the third movie hasn’t got an official green light yet, meaning “Deadpool 3” is not going to come anytime soon. As eager as fans who have been looking forward to a new installment of the Ryan Reynolds-led film series, Liefeld is blaming Marvel for the third movie delay.
      Liefeld expresses his upset at the studio during an interview with ComicBook.com’s “Talking Shop”. “I blame Marvel…blame Marvel that that hasn’t happened yet,” he says. “They are the reason it isn’t happening. Whatever conundrum or it didn’t fit into your master plan, just commission it. Okay, commission it. You know if Frank Frazetta was still around, you would say, ‘Frank paint for me.’ ”
      Thinking that Reynolds should have the power to the threequel as he wishes, Liefeld adds, “If Ryan is making ‘Deadpool 3’ right now, that’s because Marvel hasn’t allowed it to be yet and that’s all I’m saying. So, do I have a lot of faith in that system? Dude, I have no idea. So this is where I’m not that, I’m not giving you the answers you want. I’m like yeah, yeah. Look if it happens, terrific.”
      Further expressing his skepticism that “Deadpool 3” will be coming soon considering Marvel’s already packed schedule for the next three years, the comic book writer says, “How old am I gonna be when that happens?” He goes on sharing, “And literally I used to be like, yeah, Mark Ruffalo, Hulk and Deadpool would make for a funny movie right? But, none of these guys are getting younger, right okay?”
      Despite no official green light for “Deadpool 3” just yet, Reynolds has been brewing ideas for the third movie. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” Reynolds said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” back in December.
      Unlike Liefeld, the Canadian hunk was seemingly excited about the fact that Deadpool is now part of MCU. “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden,” he gushingly said. “It’s kind of crazy.”

      Ariana Grande's Brother Channels Joe Exotic in Wild 'Tiger King' Musical

      by

      Frankie Grande delivers ‘Husband Number 2’ as he joins the online ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’ musical created by Broadway writer/producer Andrew Lippa.
      May 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Frankie Grande is the latest star to join in the online “Tiger King: The Musical (A Parody)” craze.
      Ariana Grande’s brother Frankie lent vocals to the project, created by Andrew Lippa – who previously created Broadway shows including “The Addams Family” and “Big Fish”.
      His new concept is focused on the story of Joe Exotic, the star of “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma and was sentenced to 22 years in jail for plotting to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin and other wildlife violations.
      In the latest tune, “Husband Number 2”, Frankie takes on the role of Joe’s late husband Travis Maldonado, donning terrible fake tattoos and a goatee for the tongue-in-cheek clip.
      Frankie plays Travis, as well as Joe – and husband number one, the shirtless John Finlay, belting out hilarious lines, including, “I wasn’t gay but didn’t care / you were a famous millionaire / and so / I said I’d take it.”
      Also featured is a stuffed tiger and, at the end of the clip, Frankie appears as Carole Baskin – who became a hit with fans amid conspiracy theories she murdered her late husband and fed him to tigers.

      He’s not the first star to join the production – Kristin Chenoweth previously played Carole, complete with cat ears, “Beanie Babies”, and the Netflix star’s “Hey all you cool cats and kittens” catchphrase.

      Vivica A. Fox Calls Liam Hemsworth 'Very Giving' Scene Partner

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Empire’ actress heaps praise on her ‘Independence Day’ co-star and describes him as a ‘very giving’ scene partner following their onscreen reunion in ‘Arkansas’.
      May 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Vivica A. Fox couldn’t wait to get to work with Liam Hemsworth on new movie “Arkansas” – four years after they first collaborated.
      The pair appeared onscreen together in “Independence Day” back in 2016 and, speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Vivica gushed he “just becomes more of a grown man” every time she sees him.
      “I was so thrilled when I got cast. I was fortunate that I did not have to audition, I got a call from my agent and she said, ‘There is this great new film called Arkansas and it’s got Liam Hemsworth and Vince Vaughn,’ and that’s all she had to say as far as I was concerned,” she laughed.
      “It was good to see him again. And work with him again. And I tell you, every time I see him he just becomes more of a grown man. He really does,” the “Empire” star added. “When we did Independence Day, he kinda had that young heartthrob thing still hanging on from The Hunger Games but baby in Arkansas, Liam Hemsworth is dark, mysterious, and dangerous.”
      According to Vivica, one of the best parts of working alongside the “charming and wonderful” actor is how he never came to set with a big ego, and was a “very giving” scene partner.
      “Arkansas” was originally supposed to premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival in March 2020, but the festival was cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis. The movie, also starring John Malkovich, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Brad William Henke, is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital streaming services.

      Spike Lee Debuts Movie About New York City Struggles Amid Coronavirus Crisis

      by

      WENN

      The famed filmmaker has made a mini movie that documents the New Yorkers’ struggles in the epicentre of the killer coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
      May 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Director Spike Lee has captured the painful experience of living in New York City amid the devastating coronavirus pandemic in a new short film.
      The Brooklyn native and Oscar winner made the three-minute movie, “New York, New York”, as a “valentine” to the city, which has been ravaged by COVID-19 as the epicentre of the disease in the U.S.
      “It’s painful when you see there is nobody there,” Spike told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta of the empty streets in the footage. “But at the end of the film, that is when we see New Yorkers.”
      “New York, New York”, which is set to the eponymous song by Frank Sinatra, features deserted subways and landmarks, like Broadway theatres, Yankee Stadium and Wall Street, as well as scenes involving healthcare workers.

      Despite the dismal scenes in the Big Apple, Spike feels proud to be living there at one of the city’s roughest periods in history.
      “You know what? I wouldn’t want to be any other place than here, the epicentre,” he added.

      'Deadpool 2' Producers Slapped With $300K Fine for Stuntwoman's Death on Set

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The producers for the Ryan Reynolds-fronted superhero movie have been punished with fine for failing to provide a safe workplace for the fallen stuntwoman.
      May 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The production company behind “Deadpool 2” has been fined almost $300,000 for safety violations over the 2017 death of stuntwoman Joi Harris.
      Harris, 32, was killed when she was thrown from the motorcycle she was riding through a plate-glass window while filming her first movie stunt, a stand-in scene for actress Zazie Beetz on location in Vancouver, Canada.
      After assessing the situation, statutory agency WorkSafeBC has imposed the fine on TCF Vancouver Productions LTD for failing to provide a safe workplace for Harris, reported Deadline.
      An investigation previously found that Harris’s death was the result of a freak accident after the experienced motorcycle rider continued travelling beyond a planned stopping point on the set, striking a concrete curb and being thrown through the window of a building.
      She had not been wearing a safety helmet, as Beetz’s character Domino was not wearing one in the scene, and died on impact.
      In their new investigation, WorkSafeBC ruled five violations of the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation had been committed by the production company, including, “…failing to identify the hazards and assess and control the risks of the work activity and failing to provide adequate supervision… failing to provide adequate supervision with respect to this work activity and instructing the stunt performer not to wear safety headgear while operating the motorcycle.”
      A representative from the agency said, “The primary purpose of an administrative penalty is to motivate the employer receiving the penalty – and other employers – to comply with occupational health and safety requirements and to keep their workplaces safe.”
      Before joining the crew, 32-year-old Harris was the first African-American woman licensed to actively compete in American Motorcyclist Association races.
      “Deadpool 2” starred Ryan Reynolds as the Marvel Comics character and was released in May 2018.

      Simon Pegg Makes Use of Fake Cigarettes to Acquire Voice Transformation in 'Inheritance'

      by

      WENN

      While director Vaughn Stein praises his dedication in creating a creepy character for the thriller, the ‘Star Trek’ actor reveals that the coronavirus lockdown has helped him gained the weight he lost.
      May 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Star Trek” actor Simon Pegg gasped away at fake cigarettes on the set of his new film, so he could make his voice sound more evil.
      The Brit, who is best known for comedy roles, plays a man imprisoned in a bunker by the late father of Lily Collins’ character in new thriller “Inheritance (2020)”, and director Vaughn Stein admits he was impressed by the way Pegg became the creepy character, Morgan Warner.
      “The physical transformation that Simon went through for the role was astonishing,” the filmmaker says. “We talked about having that sort of prison body, that sort of prison yard workout. It was great to create a character with Simon that you haven’t seen him do before and to bring it to life in a way, to be that ripped was amazing. It looked incredible on camera.”

      Simon Pegg’s physical transformation.
      “I always wanted him to add more gravel to his voice… We were talking about Hannibal Lecter and he had this raspy voice because of disuse, kind of metallic because he didn’t’ speak for years. Simon did this amazing voice helped by these fake cigarettes on set.”
      Pegg, who admits it was “fun” to play “crazy and evil”, has put all the weight he lost back on during the coronavirus lockdown, thanks in part to Cadbury’s Flake ice-creams.
      “I work out more so I can have one every day. I got into very, very skinny shape for this movie,” he says. “I was working out this morning and I got on the scale and realised I was 12 kilos heavier than when we did the movie. I really made up for it!”.
