      NASA Official Hopes for Tom Cruise to Inspire the Next Elon Musk With His Space-Themed Movie

      by

      WENN

      The NASA administrator has high hope for Tom Cruise’s next big-screen project which, in collaboration with Tesla founder, will be filmed in the outer space.
      Jun 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun” character Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell inspired NASA Administrator James Bridenstine to embark on a career as a Navy pilot.
      The actor leads the action movie franchise, which began in 1986, and his U.S. Navy pilot character prompted Bridenstine to follow a similar career path, which led him to the job he’s in today.
      “There was a day when I was in elementary school and I saw Top Gun. From that day, I knew I was going to be a Navy pilot. It’s just the way it was,” he said while gearing up for the launch of the SpaceX rocket this weekend, reported JustJared.com. “The goal here (is similar], and it’s what we’re doing today (with the rocket launch).”
      NASA officials are planning to shoot a new movie onboard the International Space Station with Cruise, and Bridenstine confessed he hopes the actor will similarly inspire a new generation to embark on a career in science.
      “If we can get Tom Cruise to inspire an elementary kid to join the Navy and be a pilot, why can’t we get Tom Cruise to inspire the next Elon Musk? That’s what we need,” he added.
      “We need a new generation of many Elon Musks. That’s what we’re doing with our launch (and the film). It’s all about the next generation.”
      Doug Liman is currently attached to direct the movie, with tech mogul Musk also reportedly on board with the project alongside his Space X partners.

      Allegations Against Family Members in Brittany Murphy's Death Revealed in New Documentary

      by

      WENN

      Discovery channel is trying to crack the mystery behind the 2009 death of the ‘Clueless’ actress in a new documentary called ‘Brittany Murphy: An ID Mystery’.
      May 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The death of actress Brittany Murphy has been flagged as suspicious in a new documentary.
      The “Clueless” star died at the age of 32 in 2009 and the Los Angeles County coroner ruled her death an “accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and multiple drug intoxication,” but the cause is now being called into question by producers behind new Investigation Discovery network TV documentary “Brittany Murphy: An ID Mystery”.
      The filmmakers insist a featured interview with Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, filmed shortly before his death last year 2019 raises a host of concerns about the circumstances surrounding the actress’ final hours.
      ”Brittany Murphy is a rising star who had it all, beauty, fame, and success… but she also had secrets,” a press release reads. “When she is found dead in her Los Angeles home at just 32 years old, Hollywood and legions of fans are left in disbelief. While her autopsy reveals that she died of natural causes, many believe foul play is involved.”
      The documentarians go on to suggest her husband at the time, screenwriter Simon Monjack, may have had a hand in her death. He died from similar causes to Brittany in 2010.
      ”Within months, Monjack perishes under strikingly similarly circumstances – in the same bed he and Brittany once shared, only this time, allegedly with Brittany’s mother sleeping beside him,” the statement continues. ”In an exclusive final interview, the late Angelo Bertolotti – Brittany’s father – casts doubt on the conclusion that she died of natural causes and reveals bizarre allegations against other family members.”

      Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Save Hijacked Plane in New Movie

      by

      Augenschein Film

      The ‘Looper’ actor is keen to be a part of the new movie ‘7500’ because there’s ‘a lot of improvisation on the part of the actors as well as on the part of the camera.’
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joseph Gordon-Levitt has jumped on board a new hijack movie, in which he plays an unlikely hero.
      In Oscar-nominated short film director Patrick Vollrath’s feature-length debut, “7500”, the actor portrays the co-pilot of a flight from Berlin, Germany to Paris, France, which is overrun by terrorists.
      Gordon-Levitt tells WENN he took the role in part because he was intrigued by Vollrath’s decision to film the movie as an “improvisational exercise.”
      “He explained how it involved a lot of improvisation on the part of the actors as well as on the part of the camera,” recalls Gordon-Levitt. “And letting the camera roll for 20, 30 or even 40 minutes at a time and just letting the actors become the characters and live the situation.”
      Vollrath reveals he cast Gordon-Levitt as co-pilot Tobias because he was not an obvious action film hero. “I was very much looking for not Bruce Willis, not a Special Forces-trained guy who can use all his abilities to solve the situation,” the director explains.
      “Tobias is an everyman who never expects to be in a situation like this and hopes he never will be – and then it happens. So he’s as overwhelmed as you or I would be. He had to be someone the audience likes from the moment he enters the cockpit. So we’re on his side even when he has to make some incredibly difficult decisions.”
      Fortunately for Gordon-Levitt, the pilot in the film, played by German actor Carlo Kitzlinger, actually flew planes for Lufthansa for 20 years, so the American star had a seasoned technical adviser by his side, and the duo spent two weeks in flight simulators prior to filming.
      The film is released via Amazon on June 19, 2020.

      Sylvester Stallone Blames 'Rocky' for Him Losing Eyebrows for the Rest of His Life

      by

      Chartoff-Winkler Productions

      In ’40 Years of Rocky: The Birth of a Classic’, the actor known for his portrayal of Rocky Balboa recalls all the tests make-up artist Mike Westmore did to create every little thing about his character.
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sylvester Stallone struggled to find the right look for his boxer character Rocky Balboa and lost his eyebrows in the process.
      The movie icon has narrated a new documentary about the making of the classic 1976 film and in it he admits he and director John Avildsen went to extremes to create every little thing about the boxer character.
      “Mike Westmore was the make-up artist and he would do all these tests which were great but I wound up not having any eyebrows left for the rest of my life,” Stallone explains in “40 Years of Rocky: The Birth of a Classic”. “One time he wanted Rocky to look very, very punchy and I thought, ‘Why don’t you glue my nose to the side of my face’, so they got this kind of colostomy bag of glue and it was so bad it looked like a cartoon; like I had run into a wall… We took things to kind of extremes.”
      Stallone admits he had to fight for Rocky’s iconic hat: “That was a real bone of contention,” he adds. “No one wanted me to wear the hat. They wanted me to just be bareheaded.”
      “There was a store there (in Philadelphia) and I bought that hat for, like, three bucks and I was like, ‘I want to wear the hat.’ The producer goes, ‘You can’t wear the hat because Gene Hackman wore one in French Connection.’ I said, ‘So that’s the end of hats? Hats are banned?’ I said it kind of topped off the character and so we had him use the hat.”
      “I had never seen a hat like it. It was, like, this cheap felt cardboard hat but it just worked perfectly and I think made a great impression on the character.”
      Stallone also recalls Avildsen taking video footage between takes, which annoyed the actor at the time – but now those films have helped piece together the making of a classic in Derek Wayne Johnson’s film, which will be released digitally next month (June).
      “He was always in the background and he would drive me crazy taking these eight millimetre films,” the “Rocky” star laughs. “At the time I thought, ‘What a waste of film’, but I’m glad he did it because here we are.”

      'Sonic the hedgehog' Announces Sequel With Original Director

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The upcoming second movie about Sega’s fastest hedgehog is set to be helmed by Jeff Fowler and scribed by the two screenwriters who worked on the first installment.
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Sonic the Hedgehog” is to return for a sequel after the original smashed the U.S. record for the biggest video game movie opening of all time.
      Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy confirmed on Thursday, May 28, 2020 that they’ve started work on a follow-up film, which will bring back Jeff Fowler as director and Pat Casey and Josh Miller as scriptwriters.
      The first film starred James Marsden and Jim Carrey and featured the voice of Ben Schwartz as the world’s speediest hedgehog, but decisions have yet to be made on casting for the next film.
      News of a sequel comes as little surprise given the immense success of “Sonic the Hedgehog’, which beat previous record holder “Detective Pikachu” by almost $3 million upon its release.
