      The upcoming remake of Unversal’s monster movie has reportedly found a helmer in Leigh Whannell, a month after the ‘La La Land’ actor is announced as the male lead.
      Jul 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The team behind coronavirus lockdown movie hit “The Invisible Man” have boarded Ryan Gosling’s new werewolf film.
      The “La La Land” star was cast as the lead in Universal’s “The Wolfman” remake last month (Jun20) and now the project is on the fast track with director Leigh Whannell in talks to oversee the project with bosses at Jason Blum’s Blumhouse signing on to produce.
      Whannell and Blumhouse found a winning formula with Elisabeth Moss’ “The Invisible Man”, despite the fact the movie was released just before the coronavirus lockdown in March (20).
      Made for $7 million (£5.5 million), the film has grossed $124 million (£98.3 million) worldwide, thanks mainly to video-on-demand views.
      According to Deadline sources, Whannell will also be writing “The Wolfman” treatment, inspired by the 1941 film “The Wolf Man”, starring Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, and Claude Rains. Blum’s wife Lauren Schuker Blum will write the script with Rebecca Angelo.

      'Tron Legacy' Sequel in Development with 'Really Phenomenal' Script

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      Mitchell Leib, the president of music and soundtracks for Walt Disney Studios, spills the bean on ‘Tron 3’ during an interview on a podcast about the ‘Mission: Impossible’ film series.
      Jul 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The long-awaited follow up to “Tron Legacy” has finally entered the development stage, 10 years after the film premiered.
      Joe Kosinski’s Disney feature was released in 2010, with talk of a sequel emerging over the years but no concrete plans announced.
      Now Walt Disney Studios’ President Of Music & Soundtracks Mitchell Leib has confirmed a new instalment is in the works.
      “We’re looking at making a sequel to Tron (Legacy) now. We’re making a ‘Tron 3’,” Leib said on “Light The Fuse”, a podcast about the “Mission: Impossible” film series. He added the script was already complete, calling it “really phenomenal.”

      As for why the production has taken so long to come together, Leib insists the timing is now perfect.
      “Whereas the timing wasn’t right to have done it years ago, I think we feel like the timing is right now and we learned a lot of lessons from that last movie,” he shared.
      It is unclear who will be directing the project but Leib is hoping Kosinski will return to the franchise.
      “We don’t even know who will be directing yet,” he said. “We’re hopeful that Joe Kosinski will come back and do another one. A lot of things have gotta fall into the right places.”

      Ben Stiller Refuses to Cut Donald Trump's Cameo Out of 'Zoolander'

      by

      WENN/Paramount Pictures

      During an appearance on ‘The New Abnormal’ podcast, the actor best known for his role as supermodel Derek Zoolander admits there are calls to erase the President from his 2001 movie.
      Jul 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ben Stiller is refusing to cut U.S. leader Donald Trump’s brief cameo appearance in “Zoolander”, amid calls from fans to erase the President from the 2001 movie.
      The “Tropic Thunder” star wrote and directed the comedy, in which he plays self-obsessed male supermodel Derek Zoolander, and when he saw an opportunity to ask property tycoon Trump to be part of it, he didn’t hesitate.
      “We were shooting at the now defunct VH1 Fashion Awards… and as people were coming up the red carpet, we pulled them aside and asked them to talk about Derek Zoolander, and so Trump and (wife) Melania did that,” Ben tells The Daily Beast podcast “The New Abnormal”.
      But as the divisive leader’s popularity drops following his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, some film fans think Stiller should cut him out of the project.
      “I’ve had people reach out to me and say, ‘You should edit Donald Trump out of Zoolander’, but at the end of the day, that was a time when that exists and that happened. There were so many movies (back then) that had a silly cameo from Donald Trump. He represented a certain thing,” he shares.

      Before he entered the political arena, Trump also famously appeared in films including 1992’s “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” and 2002’s “Two Weeks Notice”, starring Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock, and on TV shows like “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, “Spin City”, “Suddenly Susan”, and “Sex and the City”.
      But Stiller is convinced the former businessman will always be especially thrilled to have been part of “Zoolander”.
      “There was a funny story that (U.S. TV host) Chris Matthews told me,” he adds. “He was interviewing Trump during the (2016 Presidential) campaign and there was a commercial break. ‘Zoolander 2’ had come out and… was a big bomb, didn’t do well… And they’d been talking about nuclear arms or something and what his (Trump’s) stance would be with the Russians, and then… Trump brought up ‘Zoolander 2’ and started talking about why he thought the movie didn’t do well.”
      “And he started going into detail (saying), ‘It’s just that in the culture people don’t care about male models any more’. And Chris found it so interesting that he was so fascinated about why ‘Zoolander 2’ didn’t do well as opposed to what to do with the Russians and nuclear arms proliferation.”

      Janelle Monae Keen to Play Storm in New 'X-Men' Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Dirty Computer’ singer would love to be the next actress to play the Marvel female superhero made famous by Halle Berry in the ‘X-Men’ movie franchise.
      Jul 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Janelle Monae wants to take over the role of Storm in the “X-Men” movie franchise.
      The singer and actress created her 2018 album “Dirty Computer” in Atlanta, Georgia at the same time Ryan Coogler was filming his Marvel superhero movie Black Panther there – and reveals that spending time with its stars, like close pal Lupita Nyong’o, gave her a taste for comic book movies.
      However, it’s the role made famous by Halle Berry she’s really got her eye on, telling Empire magazine, “I definitely have thrown it out there. One of my dreams has always been to play Storm.”
      Storm, like the rest of the “X-Men” is a Marvel character, the mutant heroes have been kept apart from the main Marvel Cinematic Universe due to rights issues – which now could be resolved by Marvel Studios’ parent firm Disney’s purchase of 21st Century Fox.
      The star says she’d love to see a Black Panther X-Men crossover, adding, “I don’t know if she comes in Black Panther, but it would be a dream to have her in it. I don’t know where they are with that.”
      The actress currently in place as Storm is Alexandra Shipp, who played a younger version of the weather-altering mutant in the last two “X-Men” movies – but Janelle wants to be next in line.
      “A lot of women have played Storm and they’ve done an exceptional job, and I would love to be in that line of artists and get to do Storm justice,” she explains.

      Amy Pascal Denies Pushing Thandie Newton to Portray Black Stereotypes in 'Charlie's Angels'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Westworld’ star says she was forced to turn down the 2000 ‘Charlie’s Angels’ movie because the former Sony boss allegedly pushed for black stereotypes with her role.
      Jul 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Former Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal has distanced herself from racist claims made by Thandie Newton in a new interview, insisting she has no recollection of the conversation she allegedly had with the actress.
      In a new Vulture interview, the “Westworld” star reveals she was in negotiations for a role in the 2000 “Charlie’s Angels” remake when she was called in to meet then-Sony boss Pascal, who was fired in 2015 over leaked emails that were deemed insensitive and problematic for the movie company.
      During the chat, Pascal allegedly told Newton there was a challenge in making her character “believable” as a college-educated woman and then suggested there could be a bar scene, where the Brit’s character “gets up on a table and starts shaking her booty.”
      “She’s basically reeling off these stereotypes of how to be more convincing as a black character,” Newton recalled. “Everything she said, I was like, ‘Nah, I wouldn’t do that.’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, but you’re different. You’re different.’ ”
      “That was Amy Pascal. That’s not really a surprise, is it? Let’s face it. I didn’t do the movie as a result.”
      Pascal told Vulture, “While I take her words seriously, I have no recollection of the events she describes, nor do any of her representatives who were present at that casting session.”
      “I’ve long considered Thandie a friend; I’m thankful that I’ve had the chance to make movies with her; and I hope to work with her again in the future.”
      Newton also revealed she had an awkward meeting with the film’s director as he detailed the opening scene, which would focus on the actress’ body. “The director said to me, ‘I can’t wait for this. The first shot is going to be… You’re going to think it’s, like, yellow lines down a road, and you pull back and you realise it’s the stitching, because the denim is so tight on your a** it’s going to look like tarmac,’ ” Newton recalled. “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t think we’re going to go down this road together.’ ”
