      Primetime and Creative Emmy Awards 2020 to Go on as Planned in September

      by

      The decision comes after the 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, the Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards and the Sports Emmy Awards got axed over coronavirus fears.
      Mar 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences officials in America have adjusted the voting deadlines for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards but insist the show will go on, as planned, in September.
      The 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony in June and the Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards and the Sports Emmy Awards have been axed over coronavirus fears, but the Creative Emmy Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards shows remain unchanged and will take place on 12 & 13 September and 20 September, respectively, according to Deadline.
      However, eligibility for shows and talent has now been extended four weeks to 5 June, and voting has been bumped to July to allow for the problems linked to the coronavirus shutdown across America.
      The nominations have also moved two weeks and will now be announced on 28 July.
      Voters will then have four days less to pick their Emmy choices in August.

      China Orders Reclosing of Movie Theaters Nationwide Amid COVID-19 Crisis

      by

      Before national film bureau issues the mandate, around 500 cinemas across the country had attempted to resume trading following bid to ease quarantine restrictions.
      Mar 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Movie theatres across China will close their doors once again after re-opening following the coronavirus lockdown.
      Around 500 cinemas across the country had attempted to resume trading following the country-wide shutdown, but on Friday (March 27) China’s national film bureau ordered all theatres throughout the country shut again.
      The venues had only re-opened after receiving direct authorisation local government bodies, but saw little financial benefit as people continue to self isolate due to the health crisis – despite a restored 3D version of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, starring Daniel Radcliffe as the young wizard, being released in theatres in an attempt to boost trade.
      While officials from the national film bureau didn’t explain the decision, a similar incident occurred in late February, where the municipal authorities attempted ease quarantine restrictions only to cancel the plans hours later, saying an “invalid” decision had been made without higher authorization.
      The move comes as World Health Organisation officials continue to advise people to stay home and practice social distancing to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, which began in the city of Wuhan, China, in December (19).

      'Wonder Woman' Director Explains Why She Has No Regret Walking Away From 'Thor' Sequel

      by

      WENN

      Patty Jenkins was originally attached to direct ‘Thor: The Dark World’ before she opted to quit the 2013 Marvel blockbuster and was replaced by fellow filmmaker Alan Taylor.
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Wonder Woman” visionary Patty Jenkins walked away from “Thor: The Dark World”, because she didn’t think she could make a good movie about the Marvel character.
      Jenkins was attached to direct the blockbuster but quit due to “creative differences”, and now reveals she didn’t think she could work with the script.
      “I did not believe that I could make a good movie out of the script that they were planning on doing,” she tells Vanity Fair. “I think it would have been a huge deal – it would have looked like it was my fault. It would’ve looked like, ‘Oh my God, this woman directed it and she missed all these things’.”
      “That was the one time in my career where I really felt like, ‘Do this with (another director) and it’s not going to be a big deal. And maybe they’ll understand it and love it more than I do’.”
      Marvel Studios bosses replaced Patty with Alan Taylor and his film was panned by the critics.
      Patty has no regrets about walking away from Marvel, adding, “You can’t do movies you don’t believe in. The only reason to do it would be to prove to people that I could. But it wouldn’t have proved anything if I didn’t succeed. I don’t think that I would have gotten another chance.”

      Instead she jumped to D.C.’s “Wonder Woman” and broke records with the blockbuster smash. She’s back at the helm for the sequel, “Wonder Woman 1984”, which will now hit theatres in August, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

      'Contagion' Medical Consultant on Being Tested Positive for Coronavirus: This Is Miserable

      by

      Ian Lipkin, who served as the chief scientific consult for the 2011 pandemic thriller, reminds others that the very best tool people have to fight the virus is isolation and confinement.
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ian Lipkin, the researcher who served as a medical consultant on the 2011 film “Contagion”, has tested positive for coronavirus.
      Soderbergh’s 2011 pandemic thriller stars Gwyneth Paltrow as one of the earliest victims of a deadly pandemic virus, which she brings to the U.S. – with the actress herself drawing parallels between the script and the current global health crisis.
      Speaking on Fox Business, Lipkin also said the situation has, “become very personal for me too, because I have Covid-19 as of yesterday. And this is miserable.”
      He added: (If) it can hit me, it can hit anybody.”
      Lipkin was the chief scientific consult for “Contagion”, also starring Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, and Matt Damon, which was noted for its scientific accuracy.
      In the movie, Elliott Gould played a research scientist named Ian, who was based on Lipkin.
      Back in January, Lipkin went to China to investigate coronavirus and self-quarantined for two weeks after returning home. However, he said that while he had an inkling of where he contracted coronavirus, “it doesn’t matter” where he got it as the disease has spread all over the United States.
      He added: “(The) very best tool we have is isolation and confinement. It’s extraordinarily important that we harmonise whatever restrictions we have across the country.”
      “We have porous borders between states and cities and unless we’re consistent, we’re not going to get ahead of this thing,” Lipkin shared.
      Officials from the World Health Organisation (WHO) are urging people to stay home and practice social distancing amid the global health crisis.

      'Zombieland' Screenwriters Spill Patrick Swayze Cameo Hampered by His Cancer Battle

      by

      WENN

      Sharing a little background about the Woody Harrelson film to entertain fans during the coronavirus lockdown, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese reveals that the role eventually went to Bill Murray.
      Mar 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Patrick Swayze’s cancer battle dashed “Zombieland” filmmakers’ hopes of securing the actor for a cameo as a member of the undead for the 2009 horror comedy.
      Screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have decided to share a little background about the making of the Woody Harrelson movie in a series of Twitter posts to entertain fans in self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic, and they began by revealing “Dirty Dancing” icon Swayze had been their original pick for a guest appearance, which eventually went to Bill Murray.
      “Since we’re all currently living in #zombieland, @rhettreese & I thought it’d be fun to take you behind the curtain, back to the early days,” Wernick wrote.

      Paul took fans back to the ealy days ‘behind the curtains.’
      “The role Bill Murray played started in the original draft as Patrick Swayze. Patrick tragically got sick and we never had the opp (opportunity) to offer him the part. But we did WRITE IT.”
      The duo also created alternative scenarios for other early dream cameos, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Matthew McConaughey, and Joe Pesci, revealing they were each ditched for various reasons, with “Footloose” star Bacon later claiming the script never even made it to his desk.
      “He (Bacon) reached out to us after the film (was) released, confessing (to) be a closet Zombie guy, that he loved the movie, said he had never even been sent the pages we wrote for him,” Wernick tweeted.
      “See, we were nobodies back then. Zombies weren’t cool. Walking Dead was just a comic book. Our best guess is we were getting flat no’s from agents based on the title page alone. Kevin subsequently treated @rhettreese & me to breakfast… Been looking to cast him in something ever since (sic).”

      Paul went on.
      Producer Gavin Polone then called on the pair to reach out to Mark Hamill – but the “Star Wars” icon rejected the cameo offer too: “Our fearless leader @gavinpolone called: ‘Fire up the @hamillhimself draft.’ We would not be deterred… So we used the force. And got a forceful f**k no (sic).”
      After receiving so much pushback, the writers almost gave up hope of landing a big name for the zombie surprise, until Murray’s name was suggested – and the rest is history.

      He continued to give a shoutout to Mark Hamill and Bill Murray.
      “#BillMurray hadn’t yet been mentioned, for we would have never in our wildest imagination thought we could get him,” Wernick explained.
      Murray later returned for the 2019 sequel, “Zombieland: Double Tap”, appearing once more in a brief flashback scene.

      Woody Allen: Timothee Chalamet Had to Condemn Me to Increase Chance of Winning Oscar

      by

      WENN

      In his controversial memoir ‘Apropos of Nothing’, the director of ‘A Rainy Day in New York’ claims that the ‘Call Me by Your Name’ actor told the filmmaker’s sister why he had to denounce him.
      Mar 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Woody Allen has insisted Timothee Chalamet was forced to denounce him after working on his movie, “A Rainy Day in New York”, to increase his chances of winning an Oscar for “Call Me by Your Name”.
      The veteran director’s controversial memoir, “Apropos of Nothing”, was quietly published on Monday (March 23) by Grand Central Publishing, a branch of Hachette Book Group.
      The publication has been overshadowed by renewed allegations of childhood sexual abuse against Allen by his daughter Dylan Farrow, which he addresses in the book, which he claims led to Chalamet, who worked with the filmmaker on the 2019 flick, denouncing him to improve his chances of awards show success.
      “All the three leads in ‘Rainy Day’ were excellent and a pleasure to work with,” Allen writes. “Timothee afterward publicly stated he regretted working with me and was giving the money to charity, but he swore to my sister he needed to do that as he was up for an Oscar for ‘Call Me by Your Name,’ and he and his agent felt he had a better chance of winning if he denounced me, so he did.”
      Chalamet announced that he would be donating the money he earned on Allen’s film to nonprofit Time’s Up, the LGBT Center in New York and RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.
      “I am learning that a good role isn’t the only criteria for accepting a job – that has become much clearer to me in the past few months, having witnessed the birth of a powerful movement intent on ending injustice, inequality and above all, silence,” said Chalamet at the time. “I don’t want to profit from my work on the film, and to that end, I am going to donate my entire salary.”
      Chalamet later lost out on the prize to Gary Oldman for his role as former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour”.
