      Warner Bros. Refuses to Release Big-Budgeted 'Tenet' as Video on Demand

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Warner Brothers has no plan to release Christopher Nolan’s latest big-budgeted movie on home entertainment platforms because it’s ‘meant for the big screen.’
      Sep 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ann Sarnoff, CEO of Warner Bros., insists bosses at the studio had no plans to release Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster “Tenet” straight to premium video on demand (PVOD).
      The highly anticipated time-twisting spy thriller is now playing in theatres worldwide and, despite rumours claiming that Nolan was controlling the studio’s decisions regarding the release of the film, Sarnoff insists there’s no truth in the speculation.
      “It’s overstated. Let me share with you the process that we went through,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Right when Covid struck, we started looking at alternative ways to think about movie releases.”
      Although they made the decision to debut some releases, such as the animated Scooby Doo movie “Scoob!”, on home entertainment platforms, she insists they “started thinking about more innovative ways of releasing” Tenet.
      “Theatres were very upfront about saying they could give us three to four times as many screens as normal,” she shares. “So that started to change our thinking. We are happy with where we are. Some markets still aren’t open, but it is a marathon and not a sprint.”
      When asked if the studio ever considered putting the movie on demand, she says, “No. It is a remarkable, cinematic, beautiful film. It is so impactful. It is a movie meant for the big screen. I’m very proud of our approach. A lot of people are pushing stuff into next year. Tenet absolutely deserves to be seen in theatres.”
      “Tenet”, starring John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki, opened in 41 markets outside North America last weekend (28-30Aug20), scoring a strong post-coronavirus box office comeback with a $53 million (£39.7 million) theatrical launch. It opened in U.S. theatres this week.

      Ray Fisher Refuses to Cooperate in Misconduct Investigation Into Director Joss Whedon

      by

      The Cyborg depicter is reportedly not cooperative with a third-party investigator hired by Warner Brothers to investigate the misconduct allegations against ‘Justice League’ director.
      Sep 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Justice League” star Ray Fisher is apparently refusing to cooperate with a misconduct investigation into director Joss Whedon.
      Back in July (20), Fisher aired his grievances against the filmmaker, accusing him of “abusive and unprofessional” behaviour.
      The Cyborg actor’s claims have since caused Warner Bros. to launch a misconduct investigation into Whedon and Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, producers of the 2017 flick.
      According to a statement released by studio executives, however, Fisher has not been cooperating with an independent third party investigator, who was hired at his request.
      “In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Walter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of Justice League,” a spokesperson wrote. “The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked him to reprise his role as Cyborg in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Flash movie, together with other members of the Justice League.”
      They recalled Fisher “recounted disagreements he’d had with the film’s creative team regarding his portrayal of Cyborg, and complained that his suggested script revisions were not adopted,” adding that Hamanda, “explained that creative differences are a normal part of the production process, and that a film’s writer/director ultimately has to be in charge of these matters.”
      The statement was released just hours after Fisher took to Twitter, and told his followers Hamada had attempted to “throw” Whedon and Berg “under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns.”
      Warner Bros. chiefs denied the suggestion, with the spokesperson continuing, “Mr. Hamada also told Mr. Fisher that he would elevate his concerns to WarnerMedia so they could conduct an investigation. At no time did Mr. Hamada ever ‘throw anyone under the bus,’ as Mr. Fisher has falsely claimed, or render any judgments about the Justice League production, in which Mr. Hamada had no involvement, since filming occurred before Mr. Hamada was elevated to his current position.”
      They continued, “While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator.”
      “This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator,” it concludes.

      Zendaya Responds to 'Kill Bill 3' Rumors

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ actress is ‘flattered’ by the ‘Kill Bill’ speculations after original star Vivica A. Fox is keen to have her as onscreen daughter.
      Sep 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – [u=url_address/celebrity/zendaya_coleman/ying the grown-up daughter of Vernita Green in a third “Kill Bill” film.
      Vivica A. Fox, who played Green on the big screen, dropped her name recently when she was asked to cast a potential “Kill Bill 3”, while suggesting director Quentin Tarantino should base the follow-up around her character’s kid, Nikki.
      “I was doing an interview and they asked, ‘What young actress would you get to play your daughter?’ ” Fox said, “and I was like (original star) ‘Ambrosia (Kelley)’. But they meant an established actress. So I went, ‘Zendaya!’ How hot would that be? And that would probably green light this project… Hopefully now we can put that out, like, ‘Tarantino, cast Zendaya!’ – and spark his interest to put it on the fast track. Wouldn’t it be amazing?”
      Movie chat sites have run with the idea and a new synopsis for the film reportedly appeared on IMDb last week, reading, “After witnessing the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of Beatrix (Uma Thurman), Nikki Bell (Zendaya) wreaks vengeance on the woman who destroyed her family at a young age.”
      But Zendaya insists that’s just wishful thinking, telling Empire, “I was quite honoured that she (Fox) would say that. Obviously she’s incredible, and I’m very flattered that she would think of me. But, you know, it’s just an idea. The internet kinda takes things and runs with it.”

      Brie Larson Initially Thought 'Captain Marvel' Was Too Big for Her, Rejected It Multiple Times

      by

      Marvel Studios

      The ‘Room’ actress repeatedly turned down the superhero role because she didn’t think she could handle it before she eventually agreed to take on the project.
      Sep 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Brie Larson originally turned down her acclaimed role as “Captain Marvel” because she “didn’t think I could handle that.”
      The Oscar-winning actress explained in her new YouTube video that she originally said “no” to the role multiple times, but Marvel bosses kept pursuing her.
      When she was asked about her interest in the role, Brie, who was working on “Kong: Skull Island” at the time, said, “Oh, I can’t do that. I have too much anxiety. That’s too much for me. I don’t think I could handle that.”
      Officials from the company called again several months later, and she told them, “I’m too much of an introvert. That’s way too big of a thing for me,” admitting in the online video, “It was beyond my comprehension.”
      However, after the star finished filming “Kong”, she had a meeting with staff from Marvel and she was “very moved by what they were trying to achieve, with what they were talking about,” noting, “It felt very progressive.”
      “I was very surprised by the way that they were talking about feminism and the way they were handling it,” Brie added. “They were like all female writers. Female director. Going to have as many female voices in this as possible.”
      Brie has appeared as Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers twice, including in “Avengers: Endgame”. A sequel to her solo adventure is in the works, and is currently slated for a 2022 release.

      New 'No Time to Die' Trailer Unveils the Villain's Evil Agenda

      by

      [embedded content]

      Daniel Craig’s James Bond is forced to reunite with the people he has left behind for a retirement in Jamaica to stop Rami Malek’s Safin, who plans to eradicate people.
      Sep 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – James Bond is back on a mission in a new trailer for “No Time to Die”. After the movie’s planned April release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the marketing team is now back in full gear to promote the upcoming November release by debuting a new trailer.
      The newly-released sneak peek opens with Daniel Craig’s 007 dodging a speeding car that comes crashing at him before he reunites with Lea Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann who thinks that the villain seeks “revenge.”
      Bond also visits his foster brother and archenemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), who villainized the previous installment “Spectre”, but this time they apparently face a common enemy, Safin (Rami Malek). Armed with new technology, the mysterious masked villain plans to “eradicate people to make the world a better place.”
      “You can imagine why I’ve come back to play,” says Bond, who is forced to come out of his retirement in Jamaica. There’s also footage of Lashana Lynch as the “new double-o” and Ana De Armas as a high-kicking operative in Santiago.
      Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, “No Time to Die” also features Ben Wishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Ralph Fiennes and Rory Kinnear reprising their roles as Q, Eve Moneypenny, Felix Leiter, M and Bill Tanner, respectively. It is set to be released in the U.K. on November 12 before opening in states nationwide on November 20.
      While hosting “Saturday Night Live” in March, Craig said “No Time to Die” would be his last Bond movie after starring in five films. “This next James Bond film is going to be my last but it’s gonna be one of the best,” he said in his monologue.
      Malek, meanwhile, revealed his drew inspiration from Freddie Mercury to play his character Safin. “If I went in there and tried to make a carbon copy of someone, what joy or fun would that be for anybody? I guess that may be a lesson I learned from Mr. Mercury,” he told Empire magazine back in January.
      “If it’s not original, then why bother? I’ve pocketed some things from some of my favorites. But I tried to every day imbue this character with something I thought made sense for the character, but might also at the same time be shocking and unnerving.”

      Sep 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise has reportedly rented out two huge cruise ships to house production staff working on his latest “Mission: Impossible” blockbuster in an effort to keep them coronavirus-free.

      The leases run until the end of September.
      The news emerges days after Norwegian government officials granted the production crew an exemption from the nation’s 10-day quarantine requirements upon arrival in the country.
