      The ‘No Problem’ hitmaker, who is in talks to join the cast ensemble of the planned film, has made a guest appearance on the educational TV show in early 2019.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chance The Rapper is in talks to head back to “Sesame Street” to star in a live-action film adaptation of the hit children’s show.
      The “No Problem” hitmaker made a guest appearance on the educational TV series in early 2019, and now Warner Bros. studio officials have invited him back to join Anne Hathaway in the planned movie musical.
      Portlandia director Jonathan Krisel will take charge of the project, which will focus on a group of beloved characters mysteriously expelled from the famed neighbourhood, forcing them to embark on an adventure to prove Sesame Street really exists, according to Variety.
      The movie will feature original songs by “Eighth Grade” filmmaker Bo Burnham, and is scheduled to launch in January (21).
      If Chance signs on, the big screen version of “Sesame Street” will mark the father-of-two’s second major acting gig on film, following 2018 horror/comedy “Slice”.
      He is also set to show off his presentation skills as the host of the upcoming “Punk’d” prank series revival on mobile streaming service Quibi.

      New 'The Batman' Official Set Photos Unveil Robert Pattinson's Vintage Batmobile

      by

      Twitter

      The new vehicle to be featured in Matt Reeves’ movie looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – New official set photos from “The Batman” have been shared by Matt Reeves, this time revealing the Batmobile. The director took to Twitter on Wednesday, March 3 to post three images featuring the new vehicle, with Robert Pattinson’s titular character standing next to it in his complete Batsuit.
      The pictures give a close-up look and details of the new Batmobile, which looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, possibly a Chevy Camaro or a Dodge Charger from the late ’60s. The car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films, has an exposed rear engine with three horizontal red brake lights on each side.

      People have since shown mixed reactions to the car design, with actor Elijah Wood expressing his excitement, “s**t yes! cannot wait for what you’re crafting, Matt.” Marvel director James Gunn showed his support with raised-hands emoji, while some others compared it to “The Fast and The Furious” cars. “THE DARK AND THE FURIOUS,” one person wrote. Another added, “The Bat and the Furious!!”

      There were some others, however, who think that Ben Affleck’s Batmobile in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has the best design. “This is the best By Far,” one tweeted along with picture of Affleck posing next to his Batmobile.
      Echoing the sentiment, another wrote, “Sigh…nothing will ever live up to this again huh.” An apparent Synder fan similarly commented, “Just when you think it can’t get any worse…,” while someone else dubbed the new Batmobile “Serious DOWNGRADE..!!”
      Besides starring Pattinson as the titular character, “The Batman” will feature Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Batman’s villain The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright who is said to play James Gordon, and Peter Sarsgaard who is cast in a mystery role. There has been a speculation that Sarsgaard might be portraying District Attorney Harvey Dent, who becomes the villain Two-Face.
      The solo movie is slated for June 25, 2021 release in U.S. theaters.

      Amazon Withdraws From SXSW Festival Over Coronavirus Concerns

      by

      Executives at the streaming service follow Twitter and Facebook in canceling all screenings and panels scheduled for the March event after Sony delayed the release of ‘No Time to Die’.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Executives at Amazon have cancelled all screenings and panels scheduled for the SXSW (South by Southwest) festival due to growing coronavirus concerns.
      All events and showcases the streaming service bosses were planning to stage during the festival, which runs from 13 to 22 March, have been nixed after representatives for Twitter and Facebook announced they were withdrawing from SXSW in Texas, due to the ongoing global health scare.
      The news comes as Sony chiefs delayed the release date of their latest James Bond movie, “No Time to Die”, due to fears about how the coronavirus will affect cinema business this spring.
      The movie will now be released around the world in November.
      Also among the coronavirus-related cancellations is the international television conference Mip TV, which was set to take place in Cannes, France from 30 March to 2 April.
      Organisers plan to stage the event in October. The announcement follows a ban put in place by the French government on gatherings of more than 5,000 people.

      James Bond Movie 'No Time to Die' Officially Postponed Due to Coronavirus

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The global coronavirus pandemic has prompted the James Bond bosses to move back the international release of the upcoming 007 feature film from April to November.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The coronavirus spread has forced James Bond bosses to rethink the release of their latest movie, “No Time to Die”.
      The global pandemic has already prompted producers to scrap an upcoming Beijing premiere in China and Asian press tour, and now they’re rescheduling the U.K., U.S. and international release dates in April 2020 following requests to delay the film’s launch from fans online.
      MGM, Eon and Universal executives have agreed to postpone “No Time to Die” and release the movie at the end of November.
      A statement given exclusively to Deadline reads, “MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of No Time to Die will be postponed until November 2020.”
      “The film will be released in the U.K. on November 12, 2020 with worldwide release dates to follow, including the U.S. launch on November 25, 2020.”
      The decision comes in the wake of an open letter sent to Bond bosses from the writers of the MI6-HQ fansite, encouraging the studio executives to “put public health above marketing release schedules.”
      “With a month to go before No Time to Die opens worldwide, community spread of the virus is likely to be peaking in the United States,” the letter read. “Today, Washington declared a state of emergency. There is a significant chance that cinemas will be closed, or their attendance severely reduced, by early April.”
      Urging producers to consider delaying the release instead, the missive continues, “It’s just a movie. The health and well-being of fans around the world, and their families, is more important. We have all waited over four years for this film. Another few months will not damage the quality of the film and only help the box office for Daniel Craig’s final hurrah.”
      Craig will be stepping down as 007 after the film’s release.

      Jason Statham Leaves 'Man From Toronto' Due to Creative Issues

      by

      WENN/Lia Toby

      The ‘Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw’ actor has allegedly pulled out of his new movie because he wants an R-rated movie while the studio leans towards a PG-13 release.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jason Statham has reportedly pulled out of his role in “The Man From Toronto” just four weeks from the start of production.
      According to Deadline, the 52-year-old actor is exiting the project due to “creative issues,” including a desire for the film to be R rated as opposed to the studio’s plans for a PG-13 release.
      However, the studio is reportedly already working on a replacement for Statham in the action-comedy film, which also stars Kevin Hart and will be directed by Patrick Hughes.
      The “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” star was due to play the world’s deadliest assassin, the “Man from Toronto” of the title, alongside the “Jumanji: The Next Level” funnyman. Their characters are mistaken for each other, at a rented New York Airbnb pad, and are forced to team up for a mission.
      The film is slated for a November 20, 2020 release.

      Ben Affleck Has 'Sober Liaison' While Working on Movie 'The Way Back'

      by

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      The ‘Gone Girl’ actor is accompanied by a ‘sober liaison’ provided by rehab facility while working on his new movie to make sure he doesn’t fall back into his old habits.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ben Affleck was accompanied by a “sober liaison” to and from the set of “The Way Back”.
      The film sees Ben star as ex basketball player Jack Cunningham, who has to battle his alcoholism and other demons when he’s asked to coach the basketball team at his former college.
      Ben has also struggled with a dependence on alcohol for much of his adult life, and began filming “The Way Back” while he was in rehab seeking help for his addiction.
      In order to ensure the 47-year-old actor didn’t stray from his sober journey, the rehab facility provided Ben with a sober liaison, as his co-star Will Ropp told People.com.
      “Everybody was very transparent from the beginning that he was in rehab at the beginning of the film,” he said. “He had to have a sober liaison that would bring him to set and that would bring him back from (the) set.”
      Revealing he found the making of the film “cathartic,” Ben added to the outlet, “The potential for a movie like this is to really inspire somebody, to move somebody. Sometimes you do movies, you go, ‘Okay, it’s a thriller. They’re thrilled. And then they go home and they’ve forgotten about it.’ My goal with this was to make something that would feel enduring and lasting.”
      “Not everybody is going to come in and think it’s great. But for those who do, and for those who may be moved by this, the idea that you can face hard things and get better, I’m really proud of that.”
