      Robert Pattinson's Batman to Be Depicted as Married Man With a Kid in Future Sequel

      by

      Warner Bros.

      Words are Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie, the first installment in the trilogy, will establish Bruce Wayne’s romance with a familiar female character from DC Comics.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson’s Batman may not be as so-unlucky-in-love as Michael Keaton’s version in 1992’s “Batman Returns”. Words are Bruce Wayne will be depicted as a married man with a kid in a future “The Batman” sequels.
      We Got This Covered, which first broke the news about Batman’s alleged love story arc in the upcoming movie, claimed to have got the scoop from a reliable source who has in the past shared some credible information about other projects. According to the source, the first film in the planned new trilogy will establish Batman’s romance with none other than [SPOILER ALERT!] Catwoman, who will be portrayed by Zoe Kravitz.
      Apparently, the sequel to Matt Reeves movie will feature its version of the Joker (or Jokers) taking center stage, along with the beginnings of a full-on love story. The site adds that future sequels will see the pair getting married and having a baby.
      It’s further said that the plot will be familiar to readers of the comics, though it remains to be seen if this will adapt the storyline straight from the comics, in which their first rooftop wedding plans were scuppered when Catwoman jilted Batman. In “Batman” #85 which was released in 2019, the pair eventually tied the knot in a low-key ceremony.
      In 1992’s “Batman Returns”, Batman and Catwoman’s romance ended with Catwoman apparently dying in order to get revenge on her former boss.
      Meanwhile, filming on Reeves’ “The Batman” has been halted due to the coronavirus outbreak. The cast and crew had shot around a quarter of the film in the U.K. when production was halted in March as the country was hit by COVID-19.
      Reeves recently said that he planned to resume the production in the country once the crisis is over, but hasn’t ruled out moving production elsewhere. “It’s way too early to say,” he told Deadline. “I can’t imagine we wouldn’t finish in London. The situation is fluid.”
      The movie has been scheduled for a June 25, 2021 launch. It’s currently unknown if the coronavirus pandemic will affect the release date.

      'Robin Hood' Gets New Musical Remake

      by

      Disney

      The classic Robin Hood tale is reportedly getting a new remake reimagined as a musical live-action hybrid with ‘Blindspotting’ director Carlos Lopez Estrada.
      Apr 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Disney studio bosses are lining up a movie remake of their animated classic, “Robin Hood”.
      “Blindspotting” director Carlos Lopez Estrada has been tapped to take charge of the project for the Disney+ streaming service.
      It will be written by Kari Granlund, who recently penned the script for another reboot, “Lady and the Tramp”.
      According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new version of “Robin Hood” will be of the musical variety, and feature anthropomorphic animals with a hybrid of live-action and computer-generated imagery.
      The original film, a light-hearted take on the legend of Robin Hood, was produced and directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and starred Brian Bedford as the voice of Robin Hood, Phil Harris as best friend Little John, Monica Evans as Maid Marian, and Peter Ustinov as both Prince John and King Richard.
      Casting details for the remake, which entered the early stages of development before the coronavirus lockdown, have yet to be revealed.
      It’s the latest Disney classic to be given an update for a new generation of audiences – “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” recently became box office hits, while production on “The Little Mermaid” was halted last month, March 2020 due to the global pandemic.

      'Batman' Director Determined to Resume Filming in London After It's Halted Due to Covid-19 Crisis

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Matt Reeves is keen to finish the production of the Caped Crusader movie in Britain after it came to a screeching halt due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
      Apr 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Batman” director Matt Reeves wants to finish filming the movie in London after the coronavirus outbreak there has ended – but hasn’t ruled out moving production elsewhere.
      Reeves and a cast including Robert Pattinson, who plays the titular superhero, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Colin Farrell, had shot around a quarter of the film in the U.K. when production was halted last month, March 2020 as the country was hit by Covid-19.
      Asked if he would consider moving the shoot to a location less affected by the global pandemic, the filmmaker said the plan is to return – but that nothing is off the table should Britain remain in lockdown for an extended period.
      “It’s way too early to say,” he told Deadline.com. “I can’t imagine we wouldn’t finish in London. The situation is fluid.”
      Updating fans on the progress he made before the shoot was put on hold, Reeves explained, “We’re not officially editing right now. We’ve actually shot a quarter of the movie and I have been pouring through dailies, looking at takes, and what’s to come.”
      The film has also been hit by tragedy as Andrew Jack, a renowned dialect coach and actor who was working on the project, died after contracting Covid-19.
      “He was a lovely and special person and it’s one of those things where it makes you re-prioritise and realise how fragile everything is,” Reeves said in a tribute to Jack.
      Mulling the tough times brought on by the health crisis, he added, “I’m tremendously focused on the movie and, of course, it’s nice to be able to stop. But the real thing I’ve been thinking about is the state the world is in, and hoping that everyone is going to be OK and that everyone is going to social distance and do everything to be safe, because it’s a very scary time.”

      WENN

      The ‘Now You See Me’ actor is set to make his first foray into directing with a big-screen thriller titled ‘The Rental’ starring his own wife and Dan Stevens.
      Apr 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dave Franco is set to direct his wife Alison Brie for his first venture behind the camera.
      The actor is set to make his filmmaking debut with the thriller “The Rental”, which will feature Brie, “Downton Abbey” ‘s Dan Stevens, Jeremy Allen White, and Sheila Vand.
      Written by Franco and Joe Swanberg, the plot of the film follows two couples as they embark on a fun weekend getaway that turns sinister when secrets they’ve kept from one another begin to emerge.
      “I’ve been wanting to direct a feature for a long time,” Franco tells Deadline. “As a viewer, there’s nothing I love more than a smart thriller. In writing and directing The Rental, I was inspired by films like Rosemary’s Baby, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and Hereditary, all of which elevate the genre beyond cheap jump scares.”

      'Thor: Love and Thunder' Will Have Space Sharks

      by

      Marvel

      Director Taika Waititi teases some details of the upcoming fourth ‘Thor’ movie during an online screening party with Marvel actors Tessa Thompson and Mark Ruffalo.
      Apr 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taika Waititi teased his upcoming movie “Thor: Love and Thunder” during an Instagram Live screening party on Thursday, April 9, 2020.
      The actor and filmmaker took to the platform to provide some light relief for fans amid the coronavirus lockdown, and was joined by Valkyrie actress Tessa Thompson for a “Thor: Ragnarok” viewing session.
      After the screening, the celebrated star hinted at some details about the sequel, “Thor: Love and Thunder”, telling fans they are about four or five drafts into the writing process and insisting the sequel isn’t going to be a “run-of-the-mill” movie.
      He joked, “It’s like 10-year-olds told us what should be in a movie and we said yes to every single thing.”
      Tessa, who previously said she wants Valkyrie to be one of the first LGBTQ+ characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), added that she’s also read the latest draft.
      Elsewhere, Taika confirmed his character Korg won’t have a romantic interest in the sequel because he was “deeply in love and lost that love along the line,” adding, “He doesn’t feel brave enough to find love again.”
      However, he did tease that details of Krog’s Kronan culture will be revealed and suggested the Space Sharks, also known as Starsharks, which appear in the original comic book series, will feature.
      Viewers also got a surprise during the party when actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays Hulk”, joined the session for a brief chat with his pal. The full stream is available to watch here.
      “Thor: Love and Thunder” is currently scheduled to hit theatres on February 18, 2022.

      Macaulay Culkin Gets Paid Staggering $3M for 'Home Alone' Cameo

      by

      Instagram

      The original ‘Home Alone’ actor has reportedly bagged a huge paycheck to make a small appearance in the upcoming remake fronted by ‘Jojo Rabbit’ star Archie Yates.
      Apr 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Macaulay Culkin will reportedly take home an impressive $3.1 million for his cameo appearance in Disney+’s rebooted “Home Alone”.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the actor, who famously played Kevin McCallister in the first two movies, has negotiated the impressive fee for a walk-on cameo role in the latest version.
      An insider said, “No Home Alone is complete without the star of the show, Macaulay. Disney bosses were desperate to get him on board and they’ve opened their wallets in a big way to do so.”
      “His cameo is being planned and they’re working out the details – but it’ll cost them nearly £2.5 million for the privilege.”
      The remake was announced last year, with “Jojo Rabbit” actor Archie Yates taking up the role of the lead character with a different name to Kevin. “Catastrophe” star Rob Delaney and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” ‘s leading lady Ellie Kemper will also star.
      After the revival was announced last year 2019, the star appeared to oppose the idea, when he uploaded a photo of himself with his belly hanging out and surrounded by Chinese takeaway boxes.
      He captioned the snap, “This is what an updated Home Alone would actually look like.”

      Disney+ is proving a hit with fans worldwide since launching in November in the U.S. and March in the U.K., with bosses at the network reporting over 50 million active subscribers amid the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.

      Sean Hayes Defends Himself for Playing 'Lazy Susan' in New Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Will and Grace’ actor is prepared for any criticisms that might come his way for portraying the female leading character in his next feature film.
      Apr 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Will & Grace” star Sean Hayes is happy to speak to any woman who challenges him over his decision to play the lead in his new comedy, “Lazy Susan”.
      The TV star can’t wait to hear push back from activists accusing him of taking the job away from an actress.
      “Please introduce me to a woman who is hurt by that and I would love to make her feel better and have that conversation,” Sean says. “I mean the argument of should gay people only play gay roles; I’m 50/50 on that. I think everybody should at least have the opportunity to audition to prove themselves worthy of playing a character that they identify with in their own sexual orientation; how they define themselves.”
      “But at the same time, actors want to play parts that aren’t themselves and removed from who they are, so it’s a very interesting long conversation that there’s no right answer.”
      Hayes created the “Lazy Susan” character years ago for his “In Living Color” audition, when he was up to replace Jim Carrey.
      “I got my bag of wigs and accents and characters and all that crazy stuff,” he recalls. “Of course I’m still waiting to see if I got the part! But years later a friend, who I went to high school with, said I should do something with the character… and call her Lazy Susan.”
      “A lightbulb went off and it’s such a great title and metaphor for someone spinning out of control and that can’t get her life together. That was a great in to the story. I never thought to do her again until now.”
      “I try to pick characters that are most unlike me, and Susan is that. Plus, I never saw a man play a woman where the comedy didn’t come from that; where the comedy comes from the character of this woman. That’s why I didn’t have crazy make-up or crazy hair. I just wanted her to be as real as possible.”
