      Coronavirus Movie Is Being Developed by Director Eric Spade Rivas

      by

      The filmmaker, who helmed the ‘Vamp Biker’ series, claims the film project, titled ‘Duke of York’, will be ‘sort of a stand against xenophobia’ and will cover people’s desperation amid this crisis.
      Apr 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A coronavirus pandemic movie is in the works from director Eric Spade Rivas.
      The filmmaker, who helmed the “Vamp Biker” series, told the New York Post’s Page Six he’s started filming a project about the COVID-19 crisis – despite his actors being in isolation.
      Rivas said he shot footage of the empty city over the weekend from his car, and the actors – including porn star Ron Jeremy and nightlife fixture Noel Ashman – are sending him clips of themselves performing their scenes, which he’s editing together.
      The film, titled “Duke of York”, is about a dastardly movie producer who tries to trick a director into killing an Asian actor in a misguided attempt to take revenge for the disease.
      “It’s sort of a stand against xenophobia, and also about people’s desperation during this time,” Rivas explained.
      Political and media figures, including U.S. leader Donald Trump, have come under fire for their rhetoric surrounding the global health crisis, with the American President describing COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus” and “Kung flu” – seemingly referencing the city of Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began in December (19).
      A release date for the project remains unknown.

      Kevin Bacon Favored to Play 'Tiger King' Star Joe Exotic in Movie

      by

      The ‘X-Men: First Class’ actor leads bookmakers’ list of stars whom gamblers should place their bets on when it comes to who will portray the former zookeeper in a feature film.
      Apr 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kevin Bacon is oddsmakers’ favorite to play Joe Exotic in a feature film about the “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” star. The Golden Globe Award-winning actor leads the list at SportsBetting.ag of stars whom gamblers should place their bets on when it comes to who will portray the former zookeeper in the movie adaptation about the incarcerated zookeeper.
      Also in the list of potential Joe depicters are three-time Oscar nominee Edward Norton, Academy Award-nominated actor Billy Bob Thornton, as well as actors/comedians David Spade and Ben Stiller. The site notes, though, that the film has to be released by 2021 or sooner to be eligible to win the bet.
      Bookmakers have additionally named who could be portraying Joe’s nemesis Carole Baskin. “The Goldbergs” star Wendi Mclendon-Covey is the favorite, with awards-winning actress Allison Janney,”Saturday Night Live” alum Kristen Wiig, Jennifer Coolidge (“American Pie”) and 2020 Oscars’ Best Actress winner Laura Dern among the other candidates.
      While gamblers can put their bets on those names, Joe’s husband John Finlay has his own favorites to play him and his husband in a supposed film about them. He recently told Entertainment Tonight that Dax Shepard would be perfect to play Joe, while he wants Channing Tatum to play him.
      Dax’s wife Kristen Bell has weighed in on John’s dream casting and she said that the “CHiPs” star was thrilled to hear John had endorsed his campaign to grab the part of Joe. “Dax would be so thrilled, because we loved that show!” the actress said. While revealing that her husband fears killer animals and would need CGI in place of real tigers, she added, “But he’s very much in. He’s very much campaigning for the role. I think he would be brilliant.”
      She also supported John’s idea of having Channing to play Dax’s on-screen husband, saying, “That’s genius. And also, Dax and Channing are very good friends, so they could pull this off easily. They have to do it!”

      Kristen Bell Reveals Why Dax Shepard Needs CGI Assistance Should He Get 'Tiger King' Role

      by

      The ‘CHiPs’ star has got the support of John Finlay as he heavily endorses himself for the part of Finlay’s husband Joe Exotic in a potential film or TV series project.
      Apr 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dax Shepard is heavily campaigning for the role of “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” star Joe Exotic in a new TV series or big screen project after learning the jailed zoo boss’ ex-husband thinks he’d be perfect for the role.
      Dax’s wife Kristen Bell admits the “CHiPs” star was thrilled to hear John Finlay had endorsed his campaign to grab the part of Joe Exotic, and now the Hollywood couple is doing everything it can to make the dream a reality.
      “Dax would be so thrilled, because we loved that show!” Bell told Entertainment Tonight.
      But she admits there is one snag – Dax has “an actual massive fear of killer animals.”
      “One time, we went to Africa and he was very hesitant in the van to even look out the window when we were on a safari watching the animals,” she explained, “so he said that they’d have to figure out how to CGI big cats. He said, ‘I’m not gonna be doing any stunts with a 600-pound animal.’ ”
      “But he’s very much in. He’s very much campaigning for the role. I think he would be brilliant.”
      Finlay recently told ET he’d like Channing Tatum to portray him in a potential “Tiger King” movie – a casting coup Bell also loves.

      “That’s genius,” she added. “And also, Dax and Channing are very good friends, so they could pull this off easily. They have to do it!”
