    News of the Amazon deal comes just days after it was confirmed that Glover would be starring opposite Phoebe Waller-Bridge in a TV reboot of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”.
    Jennifer Salke, the Amazon Studios chief, said, “Talk about the dream team! Donald and Phoebe are two of the most talented creators and performers in the world.”
    “It’s truly a dream for us, as it will be for our global audience, to have these two forces of nature collaborating as a powerhouse creative team. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is an iconic property, and we can’t wait to see how Donald, Phoebe and Francesca (Sloane, the showrunner) make it their own.”
    “We’re thrilled to be working with them, and with such great partners at New Regency.”
    The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” movie, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a married couple who worked as assassins belonging to competing agencies, was released back in 2005.

      Donald Glover Plots 'Community' Movie That Tracks Down Missing Troy Barnes

      by

      NBC

      The ‘Atlanta’ actor has pitched his idea for a big-screen spinoff project during online reunion for charity and received positive feedback from his co-stars.
      May 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Donald Glover pitched his idea for spin-off movie to his old “Community” castmates during a reunion table read on Monday, May 18, 2020.
      The one-off special saw Glover reuniting with his castmates Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong as well as creator Dan Harmon to help Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods’ Covid-19 relief efforts.
      During the reunion, the “Atlanta” star pitched an idea for a film in which Abed Nadir, the character played by Pudi, would go out in search of his own character Troy Barnes – who is considered dead or lost at sea after being captured by pirates during season five.

      “I like movies like that,” Glover said, “What am I doing, writing the movie on the fly or something?”
      Pudi agreed, adding, “I love the idea of Troy being lost and Abed’s mission is to go find him, try to track someone down – that would be fun.”
      The rest of the cast also raised their hands in support of the idea of a new movie although Glover said the start of production could be some way off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal also took part in the table read, filling in for Walton Goggins, who was not available to reprise his character, Mr. Stone.

      Donald Glover's New Album Taken Down 12 Hours After Surprise Release

      by

      WENN

      The untitled, 12-track album, which includes a collaboration with Ariana Grande, was streamed on the ‘Atlanta’ star’s website on Sunday, March 15 before it is removed.
      Mar 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Donald Glover’s surprise new album could no longer be found online. Less than 24 hours after the 12-track record was made available for listening through a website called DonaldGloverPresents.com, the “This Is America” hitmaker’s untitled project has been mysteriously taken down.
      The release of the album itself was first brought to awareness by a Twitter user who simply tweeted, “Donald Glover Presents donaldgloverpresents.com.” It was a reference to the website where the tracks were played on loop as well as the title of Glover’s partnership with Adidas. It was retweeted by his manager Fam Rothstein, whose account and retweet have since been deleted.
      Dropped on Sunday, March 15, Glover’s new album includes previously released tracks like 2018’s “Feels Like Summer”, 2019’s “Algorythm” and “Warlords” which the “Atlanta” star performed live at the 2019 Coachella. It also features an unconfirmed collaboration with Ariana Grande in a tune titled “Time” and with 21 Savage in “Vibrate”, which is also believed to have also featured SZA.
      One song from Glover’s new album has reportedly also included an appearance by one of his sons. In the outro of “Don’t Worry About Tomorrow (The Violence)”, the 36-year-old who is also known as Childish Gambino could be heard asking, “Who do you love?/ Me?” To which, his son replied, “Yeah,” before adding, “Mom and Hulalo. And Santa/ And I Love-and I love Roland/ And I love myself.”
      The LP, which came a little over three years after the release of “Awaken, My Love!”, included such titles as “Little Foot Big Foot Get Out The Way”, “Why Go To The Party”, “Under the Sun”, “We Are We Are We Are”, “Beautiful” and “Sweet Thang / Thank You”.
      Donald Glover Presents website has yet to provide information regarding the takedown or the album itself. Still, a black and white illustration of a large crowd gathering together outdoors was released when the album was played on loop in the website prior to the removal.
