    Spike Lee Publicizes Script to Unproduced Jackie Robinson Biopic

    Instagram

    To keep fans entertained during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, the ‘BlacKkKlansman’ filmmaker reveals that it came from a ‘dream project’ he had planned to make with Denzel Washington.
    Mar 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Spike Lee thrilled film and baseball fans alike on Sunday, March 30, by making the script to his unmade Jackie Robinson movie available online.
    The director uploaded all 159 pages of his screenplay on social media to keep fans entertained during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
    “Hello everyone, hope you are safe at home,” Spike began a video message, explaining his “Jackie Robinson Biopic” was a “dream project” that he had planned to make with Denzel Washington in the mid-1990s, but “Denzel said he was too old” and the project fell flat.
    “I pulled this script out of the vault and so I’d like to share the script with you…,” Lee told fans in the video he shot at his Brooklyn, New York home. “This is a great American story. Hope you enjoy it. If you don’t, that’s alright too. It’s never getting made, but I wanted to share this script with you. Be safe! Be safe! Social distancing! Peace.”

    The timing was perfect for baseball fans missing their favourite sport – the American season was scheduled to start on 26 March, but the coronavirus pandemic forced league bosses to postpone all the games. It is not clear when the baseball season will now begin.

    Amy Adams Ready to Reprise 'Enchanted' Role in Future Sequel

    Walt Disney Pictures

    While she would be thrilled to play Giselle once again, the ‘Nocturnal Animals’ actress is less optimistic when it comes to her role as Lois Lane in ‘Superman’ and ‘Justice League’.
    Mar 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Enchanted” star Amy Adams is ready to consider returning for a sequel to the hit 2007 fantasy film.
    Reports earlier this month claimed “The Pacifier” filmmaker Adam Shankman had begun pre-production on a follow-up, titled “Disenchanted”.
    Amy, who played princess-to-be Giselle in the original, has now revealed she saw the movie again recently and thinks the time might be right for her to return to the role.
    “I absolutely loved playing Giselle, and I recently watched it again,” she told Britain’s Empire magazine. “I hadn’t watched it in years. I don’t typically watch the films that I’m in very often, so it was nice to get to revisit it with some perspective.”
    “I’d be thrilled to do a sequel. If it were the right time and the right story, it would be a lot of fun. I could lose that levity right now.”
    The “Nocturnal Animals” star is less optimistic about reprising another of her most famous roles, however, as she thinks she won’t be playing Lois Lane again in Warner Bros. “Superman” and “Justice League” movies.
    “I would totally be open to playing Lois but I think (the studio is) moving in a different direction, from what I understand,” she added.
