      Jennifer Connelly Scared to Tell Tom Cruise About Her Fear of Flying on 'Top Gun: Maverick' Set

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      Jennifer Connelly reveals she found herself in shock when she was with Tom Cruise getting ready to fly in a tiny plane on the set of the ‘Top Gun’ sequel.

      Apr 11, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Jennifer Connelly was scared of flying in airplanes before filming “Top Gun: Maverick”.

      The “Snowpiercer” star admitted she was afraid to tell her co-star Tom Cruise about her fear of flying and only signed on to the movie at first because her character was not supposed to have any flight scenes.

      Jennifer – who plays the sequel’s female lead, a single mother who runs a local bar near the Navy base – told chat show host Graham Norton, “I was actually afraid to tell Tom at the time that I had only just recently talked myself out of a crippling fear of flying. When I signed on for the movie there was no flying for my character.”

      “I suddenly found myself taxiing on a runway in a tiny plane with Tom and he said, ‘Have you been on a plane like this before? Have you ever done any aerobatic flying before?’ ”

      She continued, “I started to get very nervous when he said, ‘It will be very graceful and very elegant,’ and that’s how I found out I would be up in the P51 with Tom flying it!”

      Meanwhile, Tom, 58, is famous for doing his own movie stunts but admitted this has led to “a lot of broken bones.”

      He said, “I am a very physical actor and I love doing them. I study and train and take a lot of time figuring it all out. I have broken a lot of bones!”

      “The first time of any stunt is nerve-wracking, but it’s also exhilarating. I have been told a few times during shooting a stunt to stop smiling.”

      Elijah Wood and Patrick Schwarzenegger Clash on Twitter Over 'Indiana Jones 5' Casting Criticism

      by

      WENN/Tony Forte

      The ‘Lord of the Rings’ actor and the ‘Midnight Sun’ star are involved in a back-and-forth after the latter appears to question Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s casting in the upcoming Harrison Ford-starring movie.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Elijah Wood may not be involved in “Indiana Jones 5” (“Indiana Jones V”) in any capacity, but he makes sure everyone knows that the project has got his full support. The actor has butted heads with Patrick Schwarzenegger to defend Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s casting in the movie.

      It all started with Schwarzenegger’s apparent criticism over the addition of the “Fleabag” actress to the cast of the Harrison Ford-starring film. The son of actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote while retweeting the casting announcement, “I love Indiana Jones but just not sure about this.”

      Taking it as an offense, Wood challenged the 27-year-old to explain why he opposed to Waller-Bridge’s casting. “not sure about what exactly? the mighty force of Phoebe Waller-Bridge? the brilliant James Mangold?” the Frodo Baggins of the “Lords of the Rings” film trilogy wrote back to the younger star.

      Catching wind of Wood’s clapback, Schwarzenegger simply wrote, “Another film!” The “Midnight Sun” star seemingly wanted to clarify that he takes issue with the idea of making another “Indiana Jones” installment instead of with the talents billed for the movie.

      Wood seemingly accepted Schwarzenegger’s explanation. “haha. fair!” he tweeted in reply, though he still keeps his hopes high for the upcoming movie as he added, “a chance for redemption is hopeful”.

      Elijah Wood and Patrick Schwarzenegger had Twitter back-and-forth over ‘Indiana Jones 5’ casting news.

      On Friday, April 9, Amblin Entertainment announced that Waller-Bridge would star in the untitled fifth “Indiana Jones” movie that will bring Ford back as the iconic archaeologist. “Logan” director James Mangold will take over the reins of the film series from Steven Spielberg, who will instead serve as a producer alongside longtime collaborator Frank Marshall and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.

      “I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers,” Mangold said in a statement confirming he’s on board the project. “Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine. When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”

      “Indiana Jones 5” is scheduled for July 29, 2022 release.

      Cher Excited for 'Mamma Mia! 3' After Previously Turning It Down

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The ‘Dark Lady’ singer originally ruled out any potential return to the third installment of the ABBA musical movie but she reportedly has since changed her decision.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Cher has reportedly changed her mind about starring in “Mamma Mia! 3” after insisting no one “wants to see us old people on screen.”

      The music icon featured in the musical comedy sequel “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” and revealed that she is prepared to reprise the role so she can duet with her on-screen daughter Donna Sheridan-Carmichael (Meryl Streep).

      According to producer Judy Craymer – who has worked on both the stage and cinematic versions of the ABBA musical – Cher, 74, had told her, “No one wants to see us old people on the screen.”

      Judy responded by saying that she wanted Cher to be in the film and would love to see her sing “Slipping Through My Fingers” with Meryl.

      This prompted a change of heart from the singer, who retorted, “I’m there! When do we start shooting?”

      Judy admits the scene would have to be in the form of a flashback after Meryl’s character was killed off.

        See also…

      She told the Baz Bamigboye column in the Daily Mail newspaper, “Oh well, you can do anything these days in a film.”

      Craymer has hinted that “Mamma Mia! 3” is “sizzling” in development and noted that a number of cast members, including Dame Julie Walters, Lily James, Colin Firth, and Amanda Seyfried, have expressed their desire to appear in the flick.

      She shared, “Julie said she’d come out retirement! I’ve always said it would be a trilogy.”

      Amanda previously cast doubt on the possibility of a third “Mamma Mia!” movie, suggesting that there isn’t enough ABBA music to make it happen.

      The “Mank” star said, “So yeah, I wish there was a ‘Mamma Mia 3’, but I’ll tell you what – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and I hope I’m wrong again.”

      “I don’t think there are enough ABBA songs to make a third movie.”

      “Because we’d have to use ‘Super Trooper’ again and we’d have to use ‘Mamma Mia’ again and have to use them in a different way.”

      Mark Wahlberg to Indulge in Favorite Food to Gain Weight for New Movie Role

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Deepwater Horizon’ actor is expected to pack on 30 pounds for his upcoming role in a true-story movie about as a boxer-turned-priest Father Stuart Long.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Mark Wahlberg is relaxing his strict diet and fitness regimen in an effort to pack on 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) for his next movie.

      “The Fighter” star is currently working on “Father Stu”, a biopic about boxer-turned-priest Father Stuart Long, and the role requires Wahlberg to fatten up once they’ve wrapped filming on the shoots in the ring.

      “After we do the boxing scenes, I get to put on as much weight as possible over the course of the film, so I’m challenging myself to put on 30 pounds in the next six weeks,” he told U.S. talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, revealing he will be eating “lots of burgers and lots of buns” to pile on the pounds.

      Movie bosses have recruited a “very smart” nutritional expert to help him make the transformation as healthily as possible, but Wahlberg, who is known for his muscly physique, wants to have a little fun with the mission.

      “They want me to do it as healthy as possible and I’m like, ‘Dude, I’ve been on such a regimen for so long, I just want to eat everything in sight,'” he shared.

      “I want to go to bakeries, I want to go to Denny’s (diner), I want to get pancakes, I want to get everything I can possibly get my hands on!”

      And Wahlberg, who turns 50 in June (21), has a calorie-packed fast-food feast planned to get started on the weight gain, which he expects to kick off next week (begs12Apr21).

      “(I’ll hopefully start) with a 20-piece chicken nugget and 20-piece hot wings from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a six-pack of beer,” he said.

      “Why not start with a bang?” he added, quipping, “I might need a porta-potty too, but you know what, I’m ready to go.”

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge is swinging into action to join Harrison Ford in the next “Indiana Jones” sequel.

      The “Fleabag” creator and star will take on a mystery role opposite movie veteran Ford, who is set to return as the iconic archaeologist for the fifth film in the blockbuster franchise.

      “Logan” director James Mangold will take over the reins of the film series from Steven Spielberg, who will instead serve as a producer, alongside longtime collaborator Frank Marshall, and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.

      The news of Waller-Bridge’s casting comes as studio bosses also confirm John Williams’ return as the film’s composer.

      In a statement, Mangold said, “I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers.”

      “Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine. When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”

      “Indiana Jones 5” has been in the works since its official announcement in 2016 and, after a series of delays last year (20), Disney chiefs finally set the movie’s release date for July 2022.

      The film will be the follow-up to 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, which earned over $790.6 million (£568.7 million) at the global box office.

      Tom Hanks' Classic Comedy 'Big' Originally Had Darker Tone With Robert De Niro in Lead Role

      by

      WENN

      According to co-star Elizabeth Perkins, the ‘Forrest Gump’ actor was a replacement for the ‘Taxi Driver’ star who was originally cast for the male lead in the classic movie.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Tom Hanks’ classic comedy “Big” was almost made into an entirely different film with Robert De Niro as the lead.

      Actress Elizabeth Perkins reveals she actually auditioned opposite De Niro to land her role as the love interest of Hanks’ adult character Josh Baskin in the 1988 hit, which would likely have taken on a darker tone than the finished product.

      “Robert De Niro was actually cast in the role of Josh in the movie Big,” she shared during an appearance on America’s “Watch What Happens Live”. “It fell apart because he had a scheduling conflict, and then they (casting directors) went to Tom Hanks.”

      “It’s like, a totally different movie in my brain with Robert De Niro. He was more moody. It was more of a – a little more of a horror movie,” she joked. “Robert De Niro wandering around the streets of New York. What Tom Hanks brought to it was so much lighter.”

      The Penny Marshall film centres on a young boy who wishes to be “big” and finds himself turned into an adult overnight.

      The major casting switch ended up being a dream come true for Perkins, who has such fond memories of sharing an onscreen kiss with Hanks.

      “He lays one on me about halfway through the movie,” she recalled. “I had such a crush on him at the time. I was single.”

      Even though Perkins was lusting after Hanks, he was already taken in real life.

      “He was with Rita Wilson already,” she continued. “They were dating but hadn’t gotten married yet. So he was completely off limits, but he was adorable.”

      Hanks and Wilson went on to wed in 1988 – the same year “Big” was released.

      'Justice League' Scribe Demanded His Name Be Removed From Joss Whedon's Version

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Chris Terrio doesn’t want to be associated with the ‘Justice League’ which underwent ‘a wholesale dismantling’ by the new director after after original helmer Zack Snyder left.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Justice League” screenwriter Chris Terrio wanted his name removed from the “vandalised” film when it was changed after Zack Snyder’s exit.

      Terrio, who worked alongside Snyder on the 2017 movie before he stepped down due to a family tragedy and the helm was handed to Joss Whedon, admitted he had “no idea” how much “wholesale dismantling” there would be of Snyder’s version that he wishes his name wasn’t alongside it.

      “I was in Los Angeles at the time working on Star Wars (The Rise of Skywalker),” he told Vanity Fair. “I was on the west side of Los Angeles working with J.J. (Abrams) at the time, and I drove to the studio and I sat down and watched it a couple of weeks before release. I immediately called my lawyer and said, ‘I want to take my name off the film.’ ”

        See also…

      “(The lawyer) then called Warner Bros. and told them that I wanted to do that… I didn’t realise how much of the film was going to be changed – or vandalised, in my opinion. It became clear as I spoke to various actors that it was a wholesale dismantling of what had been there before. I did not hear from anyone who said it was a pleasant experience.”

      And Terrio admitted he went into “such a depression” after the film was rewritten.

      “But I didn’t even feel entitled to be depressed, because Zack and Debbie (Snyder, his wife and co-producer) were dealing with their family tragedy,” he explained. “Measured against that, losing the film that you wrote seems like nothing at all. But it did hurt. It hurts to think that I cared so much about these characters and worked on nothing else for a very long time.”

      Jamie Foxx is reuniting with his “Project Power” co-star Dominique Fishback to take her one-woman play to the screen.

      The actress and playwright created and starred in her own show, “Subverted”, as part of her college thesis at New York’s Pace University, and it has since been staged at various venues across the Big Apple.

      Now Fishback is working with Foxx to adapt the stageshow into a new special, which she will executive produce with the Oscar winner and his business partner, Datari Turner.

      “Subverted” features Fishback portraying more than 20 different characters, with the story centered on an 18-year-old woman and her experience of the “destruction of black identity”, reports Variety.

      Further details regarding the adaptation have yet to be released, but the news comes during a career high for the “Judas and the Black Messiah” star, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this weekend’s (April 10 to 11) BAFTA Awards.

      She also picked up the supporting actress honor at the virtual African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) Awards on Wednesday, April 7. Delivering her acceptance speech virtually, she said, “Playing Deborah Johnson changed my life in so many ways and to get this award is a cherry on top of a big, beautiful experience.”

      “I want to thank, Mama Akua, formerly known as Deborah Johnson and Chairman Fred [Hampton] Jr. for allowing us the opportunity to attach ourselves to their legacy,” the 30-year-old actress continued. She also gave a shout-out to co-star Daniel Kaluuya, whom she dubbed “the best Fred a girl could ask for.”
