      Michelle Obama Teams Up With Netflix to Turn 'Becoming' Book Tour Into Documentary

      by

      Instagram

      Directed by Nadia Hallgren, this documentary project follows the former First Lady as she toured 34 cities throughout the U.S. to promote her bestselling memoir in 2018.
      Apr 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Barack and Michelle Obama have unveiled their latest documentary project for Netflix, which highlights the former First Lady’s “Becoming” book tour.
      The film follows the 56-year-old as she toured 34 cities throughout the U.S. to promote her bestselling memoir in 2018, and it will be released as part of a deal Michelle and the former President signed with bosses at the streaming service under their company banner, High Ground Productions.
      “Those months I spent travelling – meeting and connecting with people in cities across the globe – drove home the idea that what we share in common is deep and real and can’t be messed with,” Michelle said in a statement. “In groups large and small, young and old, unique and united, we came together and shared stories, filling those spaces with our joys, worries, and dreams.”
      “We processed the past and imagined a better future. In talking about the idea of ‘becoming’, many of us dared to say our hopes out loud. I treasure the memories and that sense of connection now more than ever, as we struggle together to weather this pandemic, as we care for our loved ones, tend to our communities, and try to keep up with work and school while coping with huge amounts of loss, confusion, and uncertainty.”

      Directed by Nadia Hallgren, “Becoming (2020)” will debut on 6 May. The release follows the pair’s first film as producers, “American Factory”, which won the Best Documentary Feature Oscar earlier this year.

      Lindsay Lohan Proposes Zoom Discussion With Former 'Mean Girls' Co-Stars for Potential Sequel

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The actress portraying Cady Heron in the hit 2004 film makes the suggestion in response to Rachel McAdams’ recent comments that she would be open to playing Regina George once again.
      Apr 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lindsay Lohan is planning a Zoom call with her former “Mean Girls” co-stars in the hope of discussing a potential sequel.
      The star recently made her long-awaited musical comeback with new single “Back to Me”, and she’s since told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper she’d love a big screen return too – especially if it means reprising her iconic 2004 movie role as Cady Heron.
      “Of course, I would say yes,” the 33-year-old said. “To come back with a movie like that would be my dream, to be honest, because I haven’t done one in so long. That would be my ultimate.”
      Referencing recent comments by “Mean Girls” co-star Rachel McAdams, who said she’d be open to playing Regina George again, Lindsay insisted she could convince the others to return as well.
      “I think if I talked to Amanda (Seyfried) and I talked to Lacey (Chabert) and we kind of all could have a chat together… maybe we should do a Zoom call,” she said, referring to the popular video conferencing app.
      Meanwhile, another “Mean Girls” movie is already in the works – Tina Fey, who starred as teacher Ms. Norbury in the original film, is taking the franchise back to the big screen for a new project based on the Broadway musical version.
      While casting and release details remain under wraps, the news comes ahead of the “Mean Girls” musical’s move to London’s West End in the spring of 2021, three years after it opened on Broadway.

      Robert Pattinson Not Relaxing Amid COVID-19 Lockdown to Ensure He Stays Fit for 'The Batman'

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The actor best known for his portrayal as Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight’ is said to have difficulties in maintaining his figure since coronavirus put the production of his upcoming movie on indefinite hiatus.
      Apr 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson is taking his role in “The Batman” very seriously. While the production of the upcoming superhero movie has been put on indefinite hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, the actor best known for his portrayal as Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” film series is still reportedly working hard to maintain his fit body.
      Though following the self-isolation guidelines with girlfriend Suki Waterhouse in London, the 33-year-old star did not put his guard down when it came to his physique. In fact, a source told HollywoodLife, “Things are going well, they’re good spending all their time together [but] Rob’s not totally relaxing with her because he has to stay in top form for Batman.”
      The insider further spilled that the Cedric Diggory of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” has been “training for several hours a day.” The inside source added, “He’s still working with coaches, he’s actually quite busy with work even though Batman has stopped filming. He’s still working with his trainer nearly every day, just on-line.”
      Insisting that the situation was “not easy” for the ex-boyfriend of Kristen Stewart, the so-called source claimed it was “taking a huge amount of discipline for Rob to stay shoot ready.” The source went on to note, “The hardest part is there’s no timeline, no one knows when they’ll be able to shoot again.”
      “Rob is so ready to get back on ‘The Batman’ set because he has gotten in the best shape of his life for it, but it has been difficult,” the insider explained, sharing that the quarantine workout was “really something he has had to get used to, eating differently and remaining fit for the role and the suit. It is very demanding but this role can be a game-changer for Rob.”
      The insider additionally pointed out that this is a chance for him to prove to doubtful DC fans that he is the right one for the lead role. “Sure, he is well accomplished in acting and has done a lot to prove himself but he is now in rarefied air,” the insider said.
      “Not everyone can be Batman, it is a very big test that he is taking beyond seriously because he wants to prove that he is worth it and really wants the fans to enjoy his take,” the source continued. “So being in the best shape of his life is a struggle, but well worth it in the long run.”

      Ricky Gervais Likes the Idea of Turning 'The Office' Into Musical

      by

      BBC

      The ‘After Life’ actor is open to a musical adaptation of his popular British sitcom which debuted in 2001 and came to an end after two seasons in 2003.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ricky Gervais wants to turn his hit sitcom “The Office” into a musical.
      The British comedian’s series about the deluded manager of a business in suburban England was such a hit when it aired back in 2001 it spawned a huge U.S. spin-off starring Steve Carell – and now Ricky thinks it’s due a musical adaptation.
      He tells Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “I think anything can be made a musical, The Office or whatever. It’s like people say to me you should do a sitcom about where I work, I’m a cab driver. And I go, ‘No you should do a sitcom about where you work because it depends on the expertise.’ ”
      However, he thinks his 2009 film “The Invention of Lying”, about a man who discovers he is the only person in the world who is able to avoid telling the truth, is even more suited for a West End or Broadway musical adaptation.
      “The obvious one would be The Invention of Lying ­because it’s such a strong concept and the songs would be funny with people blurting out these truths,” the 58-year-old explains.
      The second series of the funnyman’s new show, “After Life”, a black comedy about a bereaved widower, is on Netflix now.

      Take That Musical 'The Band' Is in the Works

      by

      takethat.com

      A big-screen adaptation of the 1990s British popular boyband is in development and the producers are reportedly eyeing ‘high calibre names’ to play the lead roles.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A big screen adaptation of hit Take That musical “The Band” is in development.
      Danny Perkins, chief executive of the Elysian Film Group in London, told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper producers are working on the project during lockdown, with shooting scheduled to begin later this year 2020.
      “We’re putting it together, and once all the serious things settle down, we can get on with making it,” he said.
      The group is firmly behind the project, after stage show “The Band”, which was written by Tim Firth and produced by David Pugh, toured widely for two years from 2017.
      The plot centres on five 16-year-old schoolgirls from the north-west of England in 1992, obsessed with a fictional boy band, based on the “Relight My Fire” hitmakers.
      “A tragedy happens, then we jump forward 25 years to see the women those girls became and they realise they were fools to have been apart for so long,” Firth explained. “It’s about friendship and the power of the songs they loved. The band and the bits are secondary; it’s about the fans who loved them.”
      A number of “high calibre names” have been approached to play the women, although no signings have been made as yet.
      Take That, starring Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, and Mark Owen, formed in 1990 and enjoyed success until they disbanded in 1996. They later reunited in 2005 as a four-piece, without Robbie, and now perform with Gary, Mark, and Howard, following Jason’s departure in 2014.

      Essie Davis and Charlie Hunnam Struggling to Film Sex Scene in Front of Her Husband

      by

      WENN

      Essie Davis is left red-faced as she shoots intimate scenes with Charlie Hunnam and Nicholas Hoult in front of her director husband for movie ‘True History of the Kelly Gang’.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Essie Davis struggled to film sex scenes with Charlie Hunnam in front of her husband.
      Director Justin Kurzel hired his wife to play Ellen Kelly in real-life outlaw tale “True History of the Kelly Gang” – and that meant intimate scenes with Brits Hunnam and Nicholas Hoult.
      “Pretty much every scene I had to do with every lovely man who came to do this epic tale, I had to do something excruciating with them on our first moment!” Essie tells WENN. “Giving someone fellatio in a scene is not the way you want to meet someone really!”
      “Charlie is such a divine human being. We met the night before this brutal scene and on the day we got down and dirty pretty much right away. Charlie was the most embarrassed because it was his first scene on set and he had to do this in front of (my husband) Justin, who is saying, ‘OK Charlie, you stand here and Essie, you’re gonna be kneeling down.’ ”
      “It was very amusing but part of the job is to do excruciating things! It was brutal and it was freezing and flooding and snowing. Then Nicholas Hoult arrives and: ‘Let’s go rehearse a rape!’ We all had protective padding and did everything as safe as possible.”
      Looking back, Davis has no problems with all the sex scenes but one fight scene left her bruised and sore.
      “I got a cracked rib,” she explains.

      Alison Janney Fails to Remember Participation in '10 Things I Hate About You'

      by

      Touchstone Pictures

      When a fan pays tribute to her wacky guidance counsellor role Ms. Perky in the teen movie, the ‘Bombshell’ actress requests the devotee to refresh her memory.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Allison Janney completely forgot she’s one of the stars of 1999 film “10 Things I Hate About You”.
      The Oscar-winning actress, who portrayed wacky guidance counsellor Ms. Perky in the teen movie starring Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger, seemed to have no memory of it when a fan paid tribute to her character on Instagram.
      Referring to a line in “10 Things I Hate About You” that Allison delivered as Ms. Perky, who advised students and also wrote erotic literature in her free time, the fan wrote in a post, “I’ve got deviants to see and a novel to finish.”
      But the reference was completely lost on Janney so she asked the writer to refresh her memory.
      “I don’t understand! What is this????? What am I in that I forget I was in?” the 60-year-old star responded.

      Allison isn’t the only star who can’t remember every movie she’s been in.
      Gwyneth Paltrow recently failed to recall she appeared as Pepper Potts in Marvel’s 2017 superhero film “Spider-Man: Homecoming”.
      “Remember, we were in ‘Spider-Man’?” her co-star Jon Favreau asked during an episode of his Netflix series, “The Chef Show”, last year (19).
      “We weren’t in ‘Spider-Man’,” Gwyneth replied. “No, I was in ‘Avengers’.”
      “You were in ‘Spider-Man’, also,” Jon confirmed.
