      Speaking about the remake of the Alejandro Amenabar-directed horror movie, producer Renee Tab spills that its new themes correlate to what is happening with the coronavirus pandemic.
      Apr 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nicole Kidman’s period horror movie “The Others” is set for a modern retelling as the 20th anniversary of the film approaches.
      The hit 2001 Alejandro Amenabar thriller centres on a widow and mother, who must be confined indoors due to a rare disease as an otherworldly force inhabits their home.
      According to Deadline, the remake will be set in the present day.
      “I am honored to be able to work on my favorite horror film of all time, ‘The Others’, and to bring this reimagining to the big screen for new audiences,” producer Renee Tab says in a statement, noting the parallels the story has with the coronavirus pandemic.
      “It is almost eerie and uncanny how timely the themes are today: self-isolation, paranoia and fear, and of course the intense desire to protect our children and ourselves from harm.”
      “We look forward to unraveling the layers behind lead character Grace, whose pain and demons draw viewers into a truly compassionate journey.”

      Orlando Bloom Eyed to Play Joe Exotic in New Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor is reportedly hotly tipped as a top contender to portray the infamous tiger breeder who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma.
      Apr 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Orlando Bloom is reportedly being eyed up to play Tiger King-turned-felon Joe Exotic in a new movie based on the hit real-life Netflix series.
      Released last month, March 2020, “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” follows the exploits of Joe, a prolific tiger breeder, who ran a popular illegal zoo in Oklahoma.
      While the tiger lover was sentenced to 22 years in jail for plotting to kill an animal rights activist and other wildlife violations, the shocking programme was an instant hit with fans amid the coronavirus lockdown.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, producers at 20th Century Fox are in the early stages of planning a movie based on the series, and “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Orlando is reportedly producers’ top choice for the leading role.
      “All filming is on lockdown at the moment but the studios are exploring projects they can get going on as soon as possible and they think Tiger King is the perfect story,” a movie insider said.
      “The popularity of the series has been unprecedented and they think a film about it could be even more dramatic. The film could shed light on some details behind the scenes that were not shown in the Netflix series…They think he could really bring Joe to life on screen.”
      “Tiger King” directors Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaikin claim to have recently spoken to Joe in prison, where he said he thought Brad Pitt or David Spade would be best suited to the role, while his ex-husband John Finlay tipped Shia LaBeouf or Channing Tatum for the part.
      The movie won’t be the only spin-off based on the hit show – a TV series is already in development in the U.S. focusing on Joe’s adversary, animal rights activist Carole Baskin, who will be played by “Ghostbusters” actress Kate McKinnon.
      According to People, Rob Lowe is also plotting a project inspired by the docuseries, and is re-teaming with his “9-1-1: Lone Star” creator Ryan Murphy to work on the show.
      Meanwhile, the Investigation Discovery channel has ordered a “definitive sequel” to the show, titled “Strange World of Joe Exotic”, which will be told from Joe’s point of view alone and will explore whether Carole was involved in the disappearance of her second husband Don Lewis – something which she denies.

      Ezra Miller's Chocking Video Might Cause 'The Flash' Movie Cancellation

      by

      Warner Bros. Entertainment/Clay Enos

      Words are Warner Bros. is considering canceling the long-gestating project, which has Miller attached to reprise his role as Barry Allen, after a viral video showed the actor choking and slamming a female fan.
      Apr 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The long-gestating “The Flash” movie might be scrapped altogether, not because of creative issues which have been plaguing the development, but its star’s recent behavior. Ezra Miller, who is attached to reprise his role as Barry Allen a.k.a. the Scarlet Speedster, was recently caught choking and slamming a female fan in a viral video.
      After news of Miller’s brutal violence made its way round the web. Warner Bros. is now reported considering to cancel the upcoming solo Flash movie. According to the Lords of The Long Box YouTube channel, a source at Warner Bros. says the video sent shockwaves throughout the company.
      WB is reportedly wary of keeping Miller in the role as the bad publicity will haunt the solo film and any future appearances of him as The Flash in other films. The company is currently investigating the incident, which happened at a bar in Iceland when Miller was apparently drunk. The source claims the findings of the investigation will determine whether the company will cancel the movie or go on with the project.
      The source further says that many executives at Warner Bros. are not excited about the project to begin with as it has been in development hell for years. They are allegedly quietly hoping to reboot The Flash, the same way it has done with Batman. It’s noted that while it will take a while before the decision is made, The Flash doesn’t look to have a bright future.
      According to the source, the recent incident in Iceland might also affect Miller’s future involvement in “Fantastic Beasts 3”.
      The video, which surfaced on Sunday night, April 5, showed Miller challenging the woman to a duel. “Oh, you wanna fight? That’s what you wanna do?” he’s heard saying when the excited female fan approached him. The 27-year-old star then grabbed the woman by the throat and pushed her towards the aisle truck parked right behind her, before throwing her on the ground.
      Variety later confirmed that the video is real, with a source at the bar in Reykjavik, the Iceland capital, describing the incident as “a serious altercation.” The source, Prikid Kaffihus, identified the aggressor as Miller and said that the actor was escorted off the premises.
      Following the incident, fans have taken to Twitter, demanding the actor be replaced with Grant Gustin in The Flash movie. “They should pull a Robert Pattinson and put Grant Gustin as the DCEU Flash,” one reacted to the news. Another weighed in, “Not so great news for Ezra; but maybe now Grant Gustin gets cast in the flash movie.”

      Use of 'The Purge' Siren to Signal Coronavirus Curfew Prompts Apology From Louisiana Police

      by

      Universal Pictures/Daniel McFadden

      The police department unknowingly used the siren from the horror film franchise to notify residents in Crowley, La. about the 9 P.M. curfew during the COVID-19 pandemic.
      Apr 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Louisiana Police’s attempt to notify local people of the city’s preemptive measure amid the coronavirus outbreak has gone wrong. The police department has mistakenly used the siren from “The Purge” to signal a curfew during the city’s quarantine.
      In order to stop the spread of coronavirus, the city has implemented a 9 P.M. curfew which lasts until 6 A.M. for residents. In a video uploaded by local news station KATC, Crowley police drove around the city’s Acadia Parish playing the noise, which some found eerily familiar, to alert people to the nightly curfew.
      Following the use of the siren, a Crowley Police Department Facebook post, which has since been deleted, received over 500 complaints about the familiar noise. In a statement, the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Department admitted they also received “numerous complaints” about the siren, prompting them to issue an apology.
      Jimmy Broussard, the city’s police chief, said that he wasn’t aware the noise was from the horror film franchise and stated that the police department won’t use any other type of siren in the future. Acadia Parish sheriff K.P. Gibson additionally said in a statement, “Last night a ‘Purge Siren’ was utilized by the Crowley Police Department as part of their starting curfew. We have received numerous complaints with the belief that our agency was involved in this process. We were not involved in the use of the ‘Purge Siren’ and will not utilize any type of siren for this purpose.”
      “The Purge”, which began with its first movie in 2013, depicts a night in America in which all crimes, including murder, are legal for a 12-hour period. The Blumhouse Productions project has spanned a total of four feature films, including the latest released in 2018, “The First Purge”, which is a prequel movie. A television series of the same title and based on the dystopian action horror films has also aired on USA Network since 2018.

      Joining the Hollywood star in an impromptu Instagram Live chat, the ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker reveals that she and her family had been watching the 2001 hit comedy during the coronavirus lockdown.
      Apr 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez urged pal Reese Witherspoon to get cracking on another “Legally Blonde” sequel during an impromptu Instagram Live chat on Monday, April 06.
      Reese called on J.Lo to touch base with the singer and actress during the coronavirus lockdown and chat about her new Quibi show “Thanks a Million”, and was stunned to learn the hitmaker and her family had been watching “Legally Blonde”.
      “Oh, my God, we watched ‘Legally Blonde’ the other day,” Lopez said. “Literally, like, four days ago. Oh, my God, I forgot… I can’t believe I didn’t tell you. They loved it. Loved it. It was so much fun. You were so amazing in that. It’s so great.”
      “And then my daughter’s like, ‘I want to know what happens to her’. And I said, ‘There’s a 2 and a 3, I believe’.”
      Reese quickly corrected her, adding, “Well, no, there’s a 2 but I’m thinking we might be working on a 3.”

      The response turned Lopez into a superfan: “You should. You should. That character was so amazing and so empowering and inspiring,” she gushed. “Yeah, it’s great for girls.”
      Witherspoon, who recently revealed the next “Legally Blonde” sequel is “in development”, then turned the tables on her pal, urging J.Lo to return to Las Vegas for another residency.
      “One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t see you in Vegas,” Witherspoon said.
      “You never know, I might wind up back in Vegas doing another residency,” Jennifer responded. “Right now, I think I’m going to be touring the next couple of years once this all kind of gets back in order and people start going to concerts again, but I’m going to send for you. I’m going to send you tickets and you’re going to have to come.”

      Chris Evans Persuaded to Take on 'Captain America' by His Mother

      by

      Marvel Studios

      In a new magazine interview, the Marvel Universe actor’s mother, Lisa, admits that her son was hesitant to seize the casting opportunity since his ‘biggest fear was losing his anonymity.’
      Apr 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chris Evans has his mum to thanks for his role as Captain America after she urged him to reconsider turning down the Marvel blockbuster.
      The actor passed on the titular superhero role “a few times,” and told Jimmy Kimmel last year that he was “scared” of being a part of a massive film franchise.
      Now it has been revealed that it was the actor’s mum, Lisa, who convince him to seize the career-making opportunity.
      She tells Esquire magazine that Chris feared the pressures of fame.

      “His biggest fear was losing his anonymity,” she explains. “He said, ‘I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me.’ ”
      She adds, “I said to him, ‘Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity. You’ll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide, ‘It’s not going to affect my life negatively – it will enable it.’ ”

      Evans, who also portrayed Johnny Storm in 2005’s “Fantastic Four” and its 2007 sequel, took his mother’s advice and has now played Steve Rogers (a.k.a. Captain America) in 10 Marvel movies.
