      Robert Pattinson Wants to Set Precedent as He Refuses to Workout for 'The Batman'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Twilight’ actor rules out training to bulk up his frame because he wants a natural look for his Caped Crusader role in the upcoming DC Comics superhero movie.
      May 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson won’t be hitting the gym to play Batman as he wants to emulate movie legends of the past by having a more natural look.
      The “Twilight” star, 34, is the latest actor to take on the superhero role in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”, which was being shot in London before the U.K.’s Covid-19 lockdown halted filming in March 2020.
      However, he unlike past incumbents like Christian Bale and Ben Affleck, he won’t use the extra time to bulk up his frame before shooting resumes.
      “I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem,” he tells GQ magazine. “You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the ’70s. Even James Dean – he wasn’t exactly ripped.”
      According to the actor his co-star, Zoe Kravitz, who will play Catwoman”, has been keeping to a gruelling fitness plan but he is “barely doing anything.”
      He is, however, sticking to a diet given to him by producers – as it’s ensuring he eats correctly rather than keeping his own bizarre food choices.
      “I’m essentially on a meal plan for Batman,” Robert explains. “Thank God. I don’t know what I’d be doing other than that. But I mean, yeah, other than (that) – I can survive. I’ll have oatmeal with, like, vanilla protein powder on it.
      “And I will barely even mix it up. It’s extraordinarily easy. Like, I eat out of cans and stuff. I’ll literally put Tabasco inside a tuna can and just eat it out of the can.”
      “The Batman” hits cinemas in October 2021.

      James Cameron: Coronavirus Won't Delay 'Avatar 2' Release

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The director assures that the highly-anticipated ‘Avatar’ sequel is still scheduled for a December 2021 release despite the filming put on hold due to Covid-19 crisis.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – James Cameron’s long-awaited “Avatar” sequel is still on track for a December 2021 release.
      The filmmaker has been shooting both “Avatar 2” and “Avatar 3” for the past few years, with the second instalment of the hit sci-fi franchise currently slated for a December 17, 2021 release.
      While the premiere date comes 12 years after the original movie debuted, Cameron has assured fans the film won’t be delayed amid the Covid-19 crisis.
      “I want to get back to work on Avatar 2, which right now we’re not allowed to do under state emergency laws or rules. So it’s all on hold right now,” he told Empire magazine.
      The filmmaker added that, just before everyone went into lockdown, he was getting set to “shoot down in New Zealand, so that got pushed,” adding, “We’re trying to get back to it as quick as we can.”
      “On the bright side, New Zealand seems to have been very effective in controlling the virus and their goal is not mitigation, but eradication, which they believe that they can do with aggressive contact tracing and testing,” the director explained.
      “So there’s a very good chance that our shoot might be delayed a couple of months, but we can still do it. So that’s good news.”
      He added that digital effects teams are continuing to work on the feature from home, further limiting any potential impact of the coronavirus crisis.
      Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver are all set to return for the new movie.

      Oscars Allegedly Pushed Back to Summer to Prevent Cancelation Amid Coronavirus Crisis

      by

      Facebook

      The Academy Awards organizers reportedly plan to delay the ceremony to May or June to avoid having the event scrapped entirely due to the ongoing pandemic.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The 2021 Oscars ceremony could be delayed amid the Covid-19 crisis to prevent organisers from having to scrap plans entirely.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, organisers are poised to push back the Academy Awards by almost four months in a bid to save it from being cancelled.
      The move reportedly comes after movie studios were told they will have a longer release window for their films to be eligible for nomination as numerous releases, including “No Time to Die”, starring Daniel Craig, “Top Gun: Maverick”, “Mulan”, and “Black Widow”, were delayed due to the global pandemic.
      A source explained, “The ongoing coronavirus crisis has caused waves in the industry and has decimated plans for so many releases this year. The Oscars organisers have been in talks for weeks about whether the ceremony can go ahead given so many releases have been pushed back.”
      “There would be a mutiny if changes weren’t made and the industry could be totally ravaged if film studios held back their offerings until the 2022 ceremony to be eligible,” they continued.
      “What they’re proposing is pushing back the ceremony, which was going to take place on February 28, to either late May or early June. Doing this means films forced to postpone their release dates can put them out later this year or in early 2021 knowing they will still be eligible for the Oscars.”
      The insider added, “Film studios have been informed of the plans and are now drawing up their release dates accordingly. But with everything still so up in the air, it’s all rather tentative at the moment.”
      Last month, Academy officials drew up provisional plans to help studio bosses, by allowing films such as “Birds of Prey”, which were released directly on streaming channels, to still qualify for the shortlist.

      Liam Neeson's Drama Film With Son Micheal Richardson to Hit Drive-In Cinemas

      by

      WENN

      ‘Made in Italy’, which marks the directorial debut of James D’Arcy, will see Liam and Micheal as estranged father and son who return to Tuscany to sell the house he inherited from his late wife.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Liam Neeson’s new family drama with his son Micheal Richardson is set to become the latest to fill drive-in cinemas across America.
      With all theatres closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, movie fans are heading out to drive-ins to get their film fix from the comfort of their cars.
      And after experiencing hits with independent releases like “True History of the Kelly Gang”, “How to Build a Girl”, and “The Wretched”, bosses at IFC have decided to try Neeson’s new movie, “Made in Italy”, in the outdoors.
      The film, which marks the directorial debut of James D’Arcy, will hit drive-in theatres in early August if it can’t get a full roll out in cinemas.
      In it, Neeson portrays a bohemian artist who returns to Tuscany, Italy with his estranged son, played by Richardson, in order to sell the house he inherited from his late wife.
      Father and son have a deep connection to the story – Richardson is the actor’s son from his marriage to actress Natasha Richardson, who died following a skiing accident in 2009.

      Cannes Film Festival Hopes to Stage Special Cinema Events After Coronavirus Postponement

      by

      While admitting that ‘a physical edition of Cannes 2020 is hard to envisage,’ artistic director Thierry Fremaux is determined to protect the cinemas by putting together plans to screen select movies.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Cannes Film Festival bosses are putting together plans to screen movies originally due to premiere at the postponed 2020 event directly in theaters as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
      The May event was initially rescheduled to late June, and then the beginning of July, but last month (April), festival chiefs accepted the fact that Cannes was unlikely to go ahead “in its original form.”
      However, officials appeared to oppose calls for the usual South of France bash to go digital, like New York’s Tribeca Film Festival, and instead, they are hoping to take Cannes to the people by staging special cinema events.
      In a new interview with ScreenDaily.com, published on the eve of the original Cannes launch, the festival’s artistic director Thierry Fremaux admits he “could never have imagined” ever cancelling the glitzy bash, a decision which has left him “overcome with a great sense of melancholy and nostalgia.”
      “Under the circumstances, a physical edition of Cannes 2020 is hard to envisage, so we’ll have to do something different…,” he shared. “Everyone understands that (it is) impossible this year.”
      As an alternative, organizers will be making an early June announcement, unveiling the full list of films which had been due to receive the red carpet treatment, and explaining their vision for what Fremaux dubbed, “Cannes outside the walls.”
      Among the movies originally picked for Cannes debuts are Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch”, Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” and animated Pixar project “Soul”.
      “The aim is to start organizing events in cinemas,” he explained, while also suggesting Cannes bosses sponsor screenings at other festivals slated for later this year, such as those in Toronto, Canada, Deauville in France, San Sebastian in Spain, and Italy’s Venice Film Festival, which is currently still slated for a September launch.
      Fremaux didn’t go into detail about how the plan would work, but he called on world leaders and members of the public to show their support for the movie theater industry, which has been shuttered in many territories with coronavirus lockdowns in place.
      “There will need to be protection measures, especially around rents, and economic safeguards,” he said. “The way the Germans do it: no dismissals, and everyone stays ready for a return to normal.”
      “We protected the banks in 2008, so let’s protect cinemas, theaters and bookshops in 2020. Personally, to live, I need my bank. But I also need cinema.”

      Mark Ruffalo Spills What Robert Downey Jr. Told Him That Convinced Him to Take on The Hulk

      by

      Marvel Studios

      The ‘Avengers: Endgame’ actor admits during an interview with Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show’ that he was afraid he could not make the role his own given his cinematic background.
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mark Ruffalo was hesitant to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as he wasn’t sure how he could make the role of “The Hulk” his own.
      The 52-year-old actor told Jimmy Fallon during “The Tonight Show” on Friday, May 08, that it was co-star Robert Downey Jr. who convinced him to accept the offer, admitting, “I was scared.”
      “I didn’t know what I could add to what I already thought had been done so well before me.”
      Explaining his hesitation, Mark revealed he was only doing “indie movies up ’til that point. So I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m the right person for this.’ And Joss Whedon’s like, ‘Yeah, you are the right person.’ ”
      “Then I got a call from Downey, it must’ve made it to him that I was hemming and hawing, and he just simply said, ‘Ruffalo, let’s go. We got this.’ In true ‘Iron Man’ fashion. And then after that, I was like, ‘I guess I have to do it.’ ”

      The “Spotlight” star first appeared as The Hulk in 2012’s “The Avengers”, and most recently played the role, aka Dr. Bruce Banner, in “Avengers: Endgame”.

      'Deadpool' Creator Slams Marvel for Third Movie Delay

      by

      20th Century Fox

      Blaming the studio for the uncertain green light for ‘Deadpool 3’, comic book writer Rob Liefeld says in a new interview, ‘They are the reason it isn’t happening.’
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox, “Deadpool” is now part of the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Rob Liefeld, the creator of the Merc with the Mouth, isn’t too happy with the way the studio is handling the movie franchise of his anti-hero character.
      Despite the success of “Deadpool 2”, the third movie hasn’t got an official green light yet, meaning “Deadpool 3” is not going to come anytime soon. As eager as fans who have been looking forward to a new installment of the Ryan Reynolds-led film series, Liefeld is blaming Marvel for the third movie delay.
      Liefeld expresses his upset at the studio during an interview with ComicBook.com’s “Talking Shop”. “I blame Marvel…blame Marvel that that hasn’t happened yet,” he says. “They are the reason it isn’t happening. Whatever conundrum or it didn’t fit into your master plan, just commission it. Okay, commission it. You know if Frank Frazetta was still around, you would say, ‘Frank paint for me.’ ”
      Thinking that Reynolds should have the power to the threequel as he wishes, Liefeld adds, “If Ryan is making ‘Deadpool 3’ right now, that’s because Marvel hasn’t allowed it to be yet and that’s all I’m saying. So, do I have a lot of faith in that system? Dude, I have no idea. So this is where I’m not that, I’m not giving you the answers you want. I’m like yeah, yeah. Look if it happens, terrific.”
      Further expressing his skepticism that “Deadpool 3” will be coming soon considering Marvel’s already packed schedule for the next three years, the comic book writer says, “How old am I gonna be when that happens?” He goes on sharing, “And literally I used to be like, yeah, Mark Ruffalo, Hulk and Deadpool would make for a funny movie right? But, none of these guys are getting younger, right okay?”
      Despite no official green light for “Deadpool 3” just yet, Reynolds has been brewing ideas for the third movie. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” Reynolds said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” back in December.
      Unlike Liefeld, the Canadian hunk was seemingly excited about the fact that Deadpool is now part of MCU. “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden,” he gushingly said. “It’s kind of crazy.”
