      Naomi Scott Reveals How She Made Peace With Being Cut Out of 'The Martian'

      by

      Instagram

      Being cast in a supporting role as Ryoko in the Ridley Scott-directed film, the ‘Aladdin’ star shares her advice to those who had been in a situation where they wanted the ground to swallow them up.

      Apr 6, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Naomi Scott “choked” on her one scene of dialog before she was ultimately cut from Ridley Scott’s “The Martian”. The actress, 27, was cast in a supporting role as Ryoko in the flick, but had the majority of her scenes axed after a mishap on set.

      “There was one dialog scene and then I was in scenes, but just there,” Naomi tells Collider. “So there was this one dialog scene. It was this science jargon. Ridley Scott was behind this curtain and I was just, mate, I just choked.”

      She reflects, “I think it’s so important to just talk about moments where you choke, because they really do inform your experiences and they really do force you to kind of reconcile whatever those insecurities that you have are and face them.”

      “Anyone out there, in whatever field of work, and you think of that time that you wanted the ground to swallow you up, let me tell you, we’ve all been there. I’ve been there in front of Ridley Scott.”

      Although Naomi was eventually able to get the dialog out, her scene ended up getting cut out of the movie – but it did become a deleted scene in the extended version.

      “I was just this little role. They didn’t care. Maybe if you’re the lead in something. I wouldn’t take that stuff too personally, do you know what I mean?” shrugs the “Aladdin” star. “I laughed it off.”

      “I came back to my mother-in-law – this is the best thing – I got back home, I went to hers because we were there and she opened the door and she went, ‘You’re an extra?’ Because literally in the movie, there’s one shot of me in this cap and I’m like this. It’s like one second!”

      Orlando Bloom Questions His Ability in Delivering Intense Self-Abuse Moment for 'Retaliation'

      by

      Instagram

      Taking on the role of Malky in the drama originally titled ‘Romans’, the ‘Carnival Row’ actor pays tribute to writer Geoff Thompson for giving everything to the script.

      Apr 6, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Orlando Bloom wasn’t sure if he’d be able to act out an intimate scene in “Retaliation”.

      The 44-year-old actor plays Malky in the drama – which was originally titled “Romans” – and he paid tribute to writer Geoff Thompson for giving everything to the script as it made it easier to engage with the role.

      He told HeyUGuys.com, “I knew almost immediately I wanted to play Malky, [instinctively] I could tell I wanted to and I think that was in part to the way the character was described in the script and the way that Geoff was writing him.”

      “And then I got to this really intense moment that I think is something that I’ve never seen before on film, which we see Malky have this moment with himself which is reclaiming the experience he lived through, a sort of self-abuse, self-masturbation moment. And I was like, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before – wait a second, can I do this? What am I taking on?”

        See also…

      “It was really just through great conversation with Geoff Thompson, who’s written about his life… The arch of Malky’s character is true to the arch of Jeff’s own story with abuse. He’s written really beautifully, really compassionately and really courageously about his own experience with child abuse.”

      Meanwhile, Bloom also got in touch with the 1 in 6 charity, which refers to the number of men who have been abused.

      He added, “It became very clear to me that not only did I want to step up to the challenge of playing this character, but that actually the story of Malky’s journey which really explores the destroyed nature and the terrible explosive anger and jealousy and feverish dreams and experiences of life that someone who’s unhealed and has experienced abuse like that – this needs to be told.”

      Jamie Lee Curtis Clears Up Rumors of Thrombey Family's Involvement in 'Knives Out' Sequels

      by

      Lionsgate

      While writer/director Rian Johnson is bringing back Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc for the follow-ups, the Lynda Drysdale depicter informs fans that many of the original cast ensemble will not take part.

      Apr 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed she and the rest of the colorful characters of the Thrombey family won’t be returning for the “Knives Out” sequels.

      Writer/director Rian Johnson is working on back-to-back sequels for Netflix, and he’ll be bringing back Daniel Craig as quirky detective Benoit Blanc, but his castmates in the original will not be part of the whodunnits.

      Curtis, who played Lynda Drysdale in the first “Knives Out”, writes, “To clear up any rumors, the Thromby family is in family counseling and the therapist suggested they stay away from Benoit Blanc in the future.” She added her character “was fine as she kicked her loafer wearing p**ck of a husband, sorry @donjohnson to the curb.”

      And then wrote, “Ransom is apparently in the knitting sweater business, a new skill he picked up in the slammer. Joni has some vaginal scented bath bomb, Walt is self publishing his memoir. NONE of us will be joining Mr. Blanc in Greece. As the family spokesperson we wish the filmmakers all our best in their new venture.”

      Don Johnson played Lynda’s husband, Richard Drysdale, in the first “Knives Out” movie. Chris Evans, Toni Collette and Michael Shannon portrayed Hugh Ransom Drysdale, Joni Thrombey and Walt Thrombey in respective order, and other cast members included Christopher Plummer, Keith Stanfield and Ana de Armas.

      It was revealed the first “Knives Out” sequel will be shooting in Greece later this year. This two follow-up deal Netflix made reportedly worth over $400 million, making it one of the biggest projects to hit the streaming service. In the meantime, its original film was released in 2019, and has since collected over $311 million worldwide.

      'Godzilla vs Kong' Sets Pandemic Box Office Record With Monstrous Debut on Easter Weekend

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The epic monster showdown movie exceeds expectations with an estimated $32.2 million for the three-day weekend, marking the biggest opening domestically since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic era.

      Apr 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      “Godzilla vs Kong” is roaring on its opening weekend in North American box office. The Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. movie sets record for the biggest opening in the COVID-19 pandemic era, with an estimated $32.2 million for the three-day weekend.

      Taking advantage of the Easter holiday, the epic monster showdown film collected approximately $48.5 over the five-day Good Friday holiday period. The domestic sales were roughly double that of “Wonder Woman 1984” (also from WB), which previously held record for the best weekend opening in the pandemic era with $16.7 million.

      “This is the best news the theatrical side of the business has had in over a year,” said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. He pointed out that the results proved a big budget sci-fi action extravaganza like “Godzilla vs Kong” is “tailor-made for the immersive and impactful experience that only the big screen can provide.”

      Joshua Grode, CEO of Legendary, added, “I think a big movie like this working should tell everyone if we are rational in how we release a title, there is an appetite for people to have a shared experience in theaters.” He said the decision to release the film theatrically wasn’t for the “faint of heart,” but that it was the “right movie for the moment.”

        See also…

      Jeff Goldstein, president of domestic distribution at Warner Bros, went on commenting what “Godzilla vs Kong” record-breaking opening means for the industry, “This is really significant. It is igniting a recovery.”

      Overseas, the Adam Wingard-directed pic, which opened a week earlier, added $71.6 million to its foreign gross for a global total of $285.4 million so far. The international gross on its second weekend saw a slim 37 percent drop from its $121.8 million opening weekend overseas, which is a pandemic-best at the foreign box office.

      Back to the domestic box office, another new release, horror pic “The Unholy”, debuts at No. 2 with an estimated $3.2 million. Last week’s new release and former champion “Nobody” trails close behind at No. 3 with approximately $3.1 million, dropping 55 percent despite opening in additional 107 theaters this week.

      “Raya and the Last Dragon” also loses two spots, placing fourth with additional $2 million. “Tom & Jerry” descends from No. 3 to round up the top five with approximately $1.4 million.

Thank you Leroy and Carolyn Boseman,” she said before thanking his co-stars and “Ma Rainey” filmmakers. “If you see the world unbalanced, be a crusader that pushes heavily on the seesaw of the mind. That’s a quote by Chadwick Boseman. Thank you Screen Actors. Thank you, Chad.”

      The Netflix movie was a big winner at the SAG Awards with two prizes in total, including Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Viola Davis. Stunning in a neon green dress, she kept her co-star Boseman close to her heart as she delivered her speech from home.

      Idris Elba Struggled During 'Concrete Cowboy' Filming Due to Horse Allergy

      by

      Netflix

      The ‘Star Trek Beyond’ actor reveals he suffered from runny nose during the filming of his new movie due to horse allergy and often had to hide his face behind mask.

      Apr 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Idris Elba had no intention of starring in new Western “Concrete Cowboy” after signing on as a producer, because he is allergic to horses.

      The “Thor” star was originally approached to help get the movie made as a behind-the-scenes talent, and he didn’t hesitate to jump onboard as he was fascinated by the story, which focuses on a troubled black teen stuck between a life of crime and his estranged father’s urban-cowboy subculture.

      The film is based on the Greg Neri novel “Ghetto Cowboy”, which was inspired by the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club, based at an inner-city stables in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and urban African-American horseriding culture.

      “I was asked to be a producer on the film before being an actor, and I read that script on a flight, and as soon as we landed, I said, ‘We have to do this,’ ” Idris told U.S. breakfast show “Today”.

      “It’s such a beautiful story, there’s so much common truth, even though it’s a story about stables and people we might not have known exist, but I really got touched by the story and signed on (as a producer) immediately.”

        See also…

      Idris initially wanted nothing to do with becoming a castmember, but he later relented and took on the role of the protagonist’s father – in spite of his allergies.

      “I didn’t want to play (any character or have) anything to do with it because I’m allergic to horses, so I was like, ‘Someone else can have that, I’m good, but I want to make this film,’ and eventually I got involved so I took some antihistamines,” he smiled.

      However, he made sure to make the most of the bandana, which made up part of his cowboy costume, to shield his health struggles from the camera.

      “There’s a lot of shots where I’ve got a mask over my mouth, and it does look cool, but it’s to hide my runny nose!” he laughed.

      “Concrete Cowboy”, which co-stars “Stranger Things” actor Caleb McLaughlin, debuts on Netflix on Friday

      Salma Hayek Added to Lady GaGa's 'House of Gucci'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘From Dusk till Dawn’ actress becomes the latest addition to the star-studded cast ensemble of the upcoming true-story drama about the murder of fashion icon Maurizio Gucci.

      Apr 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Salma Hayek has joined the star-studded cast of Lady Gaga’s new movie “House of Gucci”.

      The Mexican actress will play clairvoyant Pina Auriemma in the drama, which chronicles the murder of fashion empire heir Maurizio Gucci.

      Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, and Jack Huston will also appear in the movie, currently shooting in Italy.

      “So happy to have my good buddy Salma join our wonderful cast!” producer Giannina Scott tells Deadline. “I’ve been talking with her about this Gucci project for 20 years! Now it’s happening and she is a part of it.”

      Gaga leads the cast as Patrizia Reggiani, who was sentenced to 25 years behind bars in 1998 for plotting to kill her husband, Gucci, played by Driver.

        See also…

      Maurizio allegedly angered Patrizia, whom he shared two daughters with, after he left her for another woman.

      While she was depicted as a hot blooded woman out for revenge and dubbed the Black Widow, her children blamed her actions on the aftereffect of the medical procedure where she had a brain tumour removed.

      Giannina Scott reportedly has been eyeing the movie for a long time. The producer started to pursue the movie, framed around the rise of a family business that denigrated into squabbles over control of the business and greed, at a time when Gucci was being corporatised.

      The script is penned by Roberto Bentivegna and is based on “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed” by Sara Gay Forden.

      The MGM movie is slated for release on November 24, 2021.
