      The ‘Lady Bird’ actor claims to be in the right place at the right time when writer/director Jason Reitman was looking for someone to fill a small part in the new movie.
      Mar 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tracy Letts has snagged a “small part” alongside his actress wife Carrie Coon in the new “Ghostbusters” movie.
      The “Lady Bird” actor and playwright reveals he was in the right place at the right time when writer/director Jason Reitman was looking for someone to fill a role in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”, which was filmed in Calgary, Canada.
      “My wife Carrie is in… the new ‘Ghostbusters’ movie coming out in the summer, and we were there in Calgary while she was shooting it, and a role became available, and so I was able to jump in and play a small part in it myself,” he said.
      The project will also feature Paul Rudd, “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard and “Gifted” actress Mckenna Grace, as well as guest appearances by original franchise stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts, but Letts is unable to share any details about the film’s plot or the character he plays.
      Joking about the secrecy surrounding the movie, he told U.S. breakfast show “Today”, “Here’s what I can tell you: nothing! Absolutely nothing!”

      “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is set to launch in July.

      Billie Lourd Deals With Bittersweet Emotion Standing In for Carrie Fisher in 'The Rise of Skywalker'

      The Lieutenant Connix depicter in the latest ‘Star Wars’ movie reminisces the time she helped director J.J. Abrams and his team complete the sequences involving her late mother’s iconic character.
      Mar 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Billie Lourd endured a full rollercoaster of emotions on the set of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker after agreeing to stand in for her late mother Carrie Fisher.
      The veteran star, famed for her role as Princess Leia, died unexpectedly in December, 2016, but director J.J. Abrams was able to cut together unused footage of Fisher from 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to resurrect her character for key scenes in the recent “The Rise of Skywalker”.
      Lourd, who portrays Resistance member Lieutenant Connix in the sci-fi blockbusters, helped Abrams and his team complete the sequences by taking part in the Leia shoots, and she admits it was truly bittersweet to fill in for her mum.
      “It’s literally like a gift from her, or her forcing us to make her the star of the movie – probably both!” she laughed in new behind-the-scenes documentary, “The Skywalker Legacy”.
      Lourd added, “Being back has been incredible, painful, surreal – all of the adjectives that you can come up with, probably, I felt.”
      Abrams later used Fisher’s earlier film clips to digitally replace the 27 year old’s face with that of her mother.
      Production on “The Rise of Skywalker”‘s Princess Leia scenes was also an emotional experience for leading lady Daisy Ridley, who needed to collect herself after filming.
      “The reality of having to do a scene with someone who isn’t actually there was very difficult,” the Brit shared. “I sort of had to walk off and have a moment.”
      And Abrams insists he will forever be grateful to Lourd for giving him her blessing to bring Fisher back from the dead onscreen.
      “To know that we were doing this with her at our side, that’s something that I will always be grateful to her for,” the director said.

      “The Skywalker Legacy”, which details how filmmakers incorporated unused Fisher footage into the latest movie, will be released to coincide with the digital launch of “The Rise of Skywalker” on March 17.

      Mar 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Eva Green has denied hearing the rumours she’s joining the cast of the upcoming Marvel movie “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.
      The 39-year-old French actress has been tipped for a role in the film, but during an interview with Total Film magazine she insisted she knew nothing about a potential part.
      “Me? No! Not that I know of. Not at all,” she said.
      However, Eva did express her admiration for the Marvel franchise, gushing, “I like the humour in them. I saw the trailer for ‘Black Widow’… I’d like to see that one.”
      Production on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” will begin in May, with Benedict Cumberbatch returning to the fold as the titular sorcerer.
      Sam Rami is reportedly in talks to direct the film, which is expected to drop next year (2021).

      Daniel Craig Gets Candid About Why He Came Close to Quitting Bond After Filming 'Spectre'

      by

      Universal Pictures

      Set to return as the 007 agent for one final time in ‘No Time to Die’, the ‘Knives Out’ actor opens up in a new interview why it took five years for him to go through the whole thing again.
      Mar 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Daniel Craig nearly quit as James Bond after making “Spectre” due to the toll the role takes on his physical and mental health.
      The “Knives Out” star had to finish filming the last instalment in the espionage franchise in a knee brace due to an on set injury in 2015, and after finishing filming said he’d rather “slash my wrists” than make another 007 movie.
      He is, however, set to return as Bond one final time in “No Time to Die” – but tells GQ magazine he meant it when he hinted he’d quit – as making the films took so much out of him.
      “I was never going to do one again,” the 52-year-old star explains. “I was like, ‘Is this work really genuinely worth this, to go through this, this whole thing?’ And I didn’t feel… I felt physically really low.”
      “So the prospect of doing another movie was just, like, off the cards. And that’s why it has been five years.”
      Revealing that preparing for the role harmed his mental health, Daniel explains, “With Bond, you don’t get the script, so the physicality of it is a preparation, in a way. It’s making my head go, ‘This is what it’s going to be.’ ”
      The actor adds, “I have suffered from it (anxiety) in the past. I have suffered because it’s been like, ‘I can’t cope, I can’t deal with this.’ ”

      “No Time to Die”, which is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, was scheduled for release next month (April 2020). but its debut has been pushed back until November due to the coronavirus which has spread across the globe, forcing the cancellation of numerous concerts, conferences and sporting events.

      Revealing how he lost the mutant part to Hugh Jackman, the ‘Mission: Impossible 2’ actor spills that his ‘very powerful’ co-star insisted that he had to stay and finish filming their action film.
      Mar 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Dougray Scott has blamed Tom Cruise for not letting him play Wolverine in the “X-Men” franchise films.
      Dougray lost out on the mutant part to Hugh Jackman while filming “Mission: Impossible 2”, which went over its shooting schedule.
      “Tom Cruise didn’t let me do it,” he told the Daily Telegraph, noting Cruise was pressed to complete the action movie. “We were doing Mission Impossible and he was like, ‘You’ve got to stay and finish the film’ and I said I will, but I’ll go and do that as well. For whatever reason he said I couldn’t.”
      “He was a very powerful guy. Other people were doing everything to make it work.”
      However, Dougray doesn’t harbour any ill will and is impressed by how Jackman played the Wolverine character.
      “I love what Hugh did with it. He’s a lovely guy.”
