      SAG Awards Follows Oscars to Adjust Movie Eligibility Rules Amid Pandemic

      by

      Facebook

      The Screen Actors Guild is taking a page out of the Academy’s book to allow movies released on streaming platforms for submission amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Officials at the Screen Actors Guild Awards will consider movies not released in theatres as part of the 2021 ceremony.
      After Oscars bosses made a similar move for next year’s 2021 event, the SAG organisation informed studios that they will now be considering movies with a planned theatrical release to be eligible if streamed or released first.
      The change comes after a number of high profile movies, including “No Time to Die” starring Daniel Craig, “Top Gun: Maverick”, “Mulan”, and “Black Widow”, were pushed back amid the coronavirus shutdown.
      “We are still revising our film release criteria but will be following the Academy’s rule change to allow titles with a planned theatrical release to be eligible if streamed or released on VOD first,” a statement from the organisation confirmed, reported Variety.
      “Full language will be announced in June along with the rest of our rules.”
      The official film rules for the 2021 SAG Awards won’t be fully released until next month, June 2020, and the 2021 SAG Awards do not have a scheduled air date yet.

      Kate Hudson to Reunite With 'Almost Famous' Cast for Special 20th Anniversary Podcast

      by

      Columbia Pictures

      In addition to Zooey Deschanel and Jimmy Fallon, the remote sit down for James Andrew Miller’s ‘Origins’ podcast will also be joined by composer Nancy Wilson and director Cameron Crowe.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Fallon and the rest of the “Almost Famous” cast are set to reunite for a podcast special marking the film’s 20th anniversary.
      The stars will join fellow cast members Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Jason Lee, Patrick Fugit and Peter Frampton, as well as composer Nancy Wilson and director Cameron Crowe for an episode of James Andrew Miller’s “Origins” podcast.
      The remote sit down will feature interviews and a glimpse behind the scenes of the hit movie and is set to debut on Apple Podcasts later this month.
      Previous episodes of the show have reunited the casts of shows like “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Sex & the City”.
      Hudson recently shocked Fallon on “The Tonight Show” by revealing she fell for him while making the movie and if he’d asked her out on a date, she would have said yes.
      The actress challenged her co-star to explain an admission he made to Margot Robbie in 2018, during the appearance on his show last month, and asked the funnyman why he told the “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” star he could have dated her.
      “I had, like, 100 people send me that clip,” Hudson recalled. “Can I just tell you what happened to me as I was listening to this? I had no idea! I wish people could be in my body to watch you and I’s, like, relationship and friendship, because you gave me no indication… Jimmy, if you would have actually made a move, I would have totally gone there…”

      “I remember thinking to myself, ‘Why has Jimmy never made, like, a move?’ And then I just kind of realized, ‘Oh, well, he’s not into me like that.’ I was just like, ‘OK, well, whatever.’ ”

      'Mad Max: Fury Road' Prequel Centering on Furiosa in the Works

      by

      Warner Bros.

      George Miller, director of the 2015 post-apocalyptic movie, confirms that he is moving ahead with a stand-alone movie about the action film’s heroine, who is made popular by Charlize Theron.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A “Mad Max: Fury Road” sequel may never be happening, but it doesn’t mean that there won’t be another “Mad Max” movie from George Miller. Speaking with The New York Times about the production of the 2015 movie for a new oral history, the director confirms rumors that he has been working on a prequel centering on Furiosa.
      However, those who are expecting Charlize Theron to return as the fan-favorite heroine have to be prepared to be disappointed a little. According to the site, the Oscar-winning actress will not return for the prequel, since the story will follow a young Furiosa, who will be played by an actress in her 20s.
      The “Mad Max” prequel may be coming in the not-so-distant future as Miller says that he expects to begin making the Furiosa film after he completes drama film “Three Thousand Years of Longing”, starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. The project was supposed to start shooting this spring, but it was delayed after coronavirus pandemic shut down all Hollywood productions.
      “So after we finish it, and hopefully everything settles down with the pandemic, we’ll see what the world allows us to do with Furiosa,” Miller says.
      Miller adds that he and co-writer Nick Lathouris were conceiving extensive backstory for the heroine as well as other characters during the years they were working on “Fury Road”. “It was purely a way of helping Charlize and explaining it to ourselves,” he shares.
      They found Furiosa’s story so compelling that they decided to write a second screenplay even before a frame of “Fury Road” had been shot. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who played Splendid, one of the “Fury Road” wives, was lucky enough to have got a chance to read it. “I got to read it when I was cast,” she says, before gushing, “It’s genius. I’ve always wondered if that movie’s going to get made.”
      After being locked in a legal battle for years, Miller says he has been given the go-ahead to proceed. On the decision to recast the role with a younger actress, the director explains, “For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-aging on Charlize, but I don’t think we’re nearly there yet.”

      'Frozen' Broadway Musical Permanently Shut Down Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Instagram

      The New York stage show based on Disney’s popular animated movie will not return when theaters in the Big Apple reopens once the Covid-19 lockdown is over.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Frozen” has become the most high profile casualty of Broadway’s coronavirus shutdown – the show will not return when New York’s theatres re-open in September 2020.
      The producers of the Disney production have announced the show’s permanent closure, making it the third production to shut down completely amid the ongoing global health crisis.
      “Frozen”, which first opened in March, 2018 at the St. James Theatre, was far from a flop and in the week before Broadway’s curtains came down in March, the show grossed over $798,600.
      “In the summer of 2013, when Frozen began its road to Broadway, two things were unimaginable: that we’d soon have five productions worldwide, and a global pandemic would so alter the world economy that running three Disney shows on Broadway would become untenable,” Thomas Schumacher, the president and producer of Disney Theatrical Productions, tells Deadline.
      “The extraordinary contribution of Broadway’s original company, plus those who have joined more recently cannot be overstated. Frozen, like all shows, is wholly dependent on those who create and perform them but this was an uncommonly close and talented group and they’ll be missed. Finally, I have to acknowledge our incredible audiences; night after night, the fans showed us how much they loved this show and we look forward to seeing them at Frozen around the world.”
      The Broadway blackout previously led to the cancellation of two prominent new productions – Martin McDonagh’s “Hangmen with Dan Stevens, and Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” starring Laurie Metcalf – which had been in previews when the shutdown occurred. Producers have since confirmed they will also not return once the suspension ends.

      'Scarface' Remake Gets Director

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has been tapped to sit behind the lens for the upcoming rework of the classic Tony Montana mobster tale.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Oscar nominee Luca Guadagnino has signed on for the “Scarface” remake.
      The “Call Me by Your Name” director has picked up the reins of the Universal Pictures project, which previously had David Ayer and Antoine Fuqua attached at different times.
      The film has been in the works since 2011, according to Deadline, but the tale of a gangster immigrant has hit the big screen twice before – Howard Hawks directed the 1932 version while Brian De Palma directed Al Pacino as Cuban gangster Tony Montana in 1983.
      The new movie, based on a script by Joel and Ethan Coen, will be set in Los Angeles.
      Guadagnino is also hoping to develop a sequel to “Call Me By Your Name”, entitled “Find Me”, with the film’s stars Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

      Russell Crowe Tapped for 'A Prophet' Remake

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Unhinged’ actor is signed on to play the lead character in an upcoming thriller ‘American Son’ about an inmate who builds his own crime syndicate in jail.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Russell Crowe has landed a new role in upcoming thriller “American Son” helmed by British director Andrew ‘Rapman’ Onwubolu of “Blue Story” fame.
      According to Variety, the 56-year-old Oscar winner will be starring as a mobster in the movie, a remake of the Oscar-nominated French movie “A Prophet”. Dennis Lehane has been tapped to write the screenplay.
      The movie reportedly centres on a man who, after falling under the control of a ruthless mobster while in prison, builds a multiracial crime syndicate, takes down his mentor, and teams up the Italian and Russian mafias.
      American Son is based on the critically acclaimed French film, originally directed by Jacques Audiard, which followed an Arab man, played by actor Tahar Rahim, who is sent to a French prison, where he becomes a mafia leader.
      Crowe’s new role follows the news that his thriller “Unhinged” will be a test for the U.S. cinema industry when it becomes the first film officially released to theatres in July 2020 once the coronavirus lockdown ends.

      Sofia Coppola Forced to Cut Handwashing Scene Out of New Movie Due to Pandemic

      by

      WENN

      The scene featuring Bill Murray Scolding Rashida Jones for washing hands has been deleted from Coppola’s new movie ‘On the Rocks’ amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
      May 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sofia Coppola had to cut a scene from her new Apple movie, “On the Rocks”, because it featured Bill Murray reprimanding Rashida Jones for washing her hands so much.
      The director teamed up with her Lost in Translation leading man for the new movie, which she completed just before the coronavirus crisis forced movie studios to shut down productions, and she admits looking back at the scenes she shot just before she began self-isolation was a little odd.
      “It’s weird, because we were watching it during our sound mix,” she tells Empire. “Bill Murray and Rashida Jones play father and daughter and everybody’s shaking hands in it and I was like, ‘Argh!’ It’s so weird to look at it through the filter of right now.”
      ”There’s a part where Bill gives her a hard time for washing her hands so much and I was like, ‘Oh my God, we need to cut this out!’ It’s weird looking at something that was made last summer and now it’s a whole different world.”
      The movie is expected to debut on Apple TV+ later this year 2020.

      'Trolls World Tour' Continues to Dominate On-Demand Charts

      by

      DreamWorks Animation

      Topping the countdown for a fifth week, the animated sequel to 2016’s ‘Trolls’ edges out Vin Diesel’s new movie ‘Bloodshot’ and Jim Carrey’s ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’.
      May 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Trolls World Tour” has extended its run at the top of FandangoNOW’s on-demand charts in the U.S.
      The film has edged out Vin Diesel’s new movie “Bloodshot” and “Sonic the Hedgehog” to top the countdown for a fifth week.
      Universal bosses’ decision to release “Trolls World Tour” as an on-demand movie quickly paid off – the film racked up an estimated $95 million (£76.3 million) in U.S. rental fees in just 19 days.
      The animated sequel, featuring the voices of Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick, was released on the same day it was scheduled to hit cinemas but the big screen roll out was scrapped when the coronavirus shuttered theatres in March.
      “Bad Boys for Life” and “Jumanji: The Next level” complete the new FandangoNOW top five, while Liam Hemsworth’s new movie “Arkansas”, “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”, “Gretel & Hansel”, “I Still Believe” and “The Gentlemen” round out the top 10.
      “Castle in the Ground” and “Scoob!” are released direct to on-demand on FandangoNOW this week, May 15.
