      Ben Affleck Credits 'The Way Back' for Briefly Making Him 'Cool' to Teen Daughter

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ex-husband of Jennifer Garner admits to spending hours looking up online slang so he could immerse himself in his role as a high school basketball coach for the sports drama film.
      Mar 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ben Affleck briefly became “cool” while researching his role as a high school basketball coach in “The Way Back” after studying teen-speak online.
      The Oscar winner felt he needed to understand teens like his daughter to help him get into character and so he spent hours looking up slang so he could connect with his young co-stars.
      “It was a joy for me to work with all these young actors, to get back in touch with what it’s like to be in your late teens and 20s,” the actor explains.
      “I tried learning a lot of new slang and how to use Instagram filters. I briefly became kind of cool to my 14-year-old daughter, although that quickly faded.”
      Ben enjoyed being the old guy on set, adding, “They would ask questions like, ‘Hey, when you did that movie, what was it like?’ ‘Who’s an interesting director to work with?’ It was fun to hang out with them. They brought a certain newness and excitement to the work.”
      And director Gavin O’Connor was more than a little impressed with Ben’s performance, considering he didn’t grow up playing basketball.
      “He wasn’t in locker rooms and he didn’t coach,” the filmmaker tells WENN. “We had to work to get him comfortable on the sidelines coaching a team. We spent a lot of time working in a gym with the kids, putting them into situations where Ben was just coaching, coaching, coaching – pacing the sidelines, yelling at referees, getting kids in and out and just leading the team.”

      James Bond Fans Plead for 'No Time to Die' Release Delay Amid Coronavirus Crisis

      by

      Universal Pictures/Nicole Dove

      In an open letter to the 007 producers, writers for the MI6-HQ website are encouraging a summer release by arguing that public health should be put above marketing marketing release schedules.
      Mar 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A group of James Bond fans has urged 007 producers to stall the release of “No Time to Die” until the spread of coronavirus is contained.
      In an open letter to Bond bosses, writers for the MI6-HQ website are encouraging 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, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, reads. “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 a summer 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.
      Bond bosses have already taken heed of the coronavirus spread in Asia, cancelling the Beijing, China premiere and a promotional tour.

      'Mulan' Producer Admits #MeToo Contributed to Removal of Li Shang Character

      by

      Disney

      Speaking about the upcoming live-action remake of the 1998 animation, producer Jason Reed spills that the army leader character has been split into two new ones.
      Mar 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Disney bosses dropped the character Li Shang from the live-action remake of “Mulan”, because they feared the storyline involving his character was no longer appropriate in the #MeToo era.
      In the 1998 animated original, the army leader, voiced by James Shigeta, developed a bond with Mulan’s male alter-ego Ping, and they date when her true identity is revealed.
      Producer Jason Reed admits Disney chiefs were uncomfortable with the power dynamics of the relationship, telling Collider, “I think particularly in the time of the #MeToo movement, having a commanding officer that is also the sexual love interest was very uncomfortable and we didn’t think it was appropriate.”
      “We split Li Shang into two characters. One became Commander Tung, who serves as her surrogate father and mentor in the course of the movie. The other is Honghui who is her equal.”
      Dragon Mushu, who was voiced by Eddie Murphy, also won’t be making an appearance in the new movie.

      Jennifer Lopez Says She Doesn't Need Oscars to Tell Her That She Did Good Job in 'Hustlers'

      by

      STX Entertainment

      Following the Academy Award snub, the ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker finally realizes she doesn’t need people’s validation to tell her that her onscreen performance is good.
      Mar 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez’s Oscars snub for her role in “Hustlers” helped her realise she “doesn’t need this award right here to tell me that I am enough.”
      The star was hotly tipped for awards success for her acclaimed role as Ramona in the 2019 box office hit, also starring Cardi B, Constance Wu, and Lizzo.
      While she failed to bag a nomination on the Academy Awards shortlist, the singer/actress told Oprah Winfrey during her 2020 Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour on Saturday, February 29, 2020 in Los Angeles, the 50-year-old confessed the incident worked out well for her after all.
      “I was sad, I was a little sad because there was a lot of buildup to it. There were so many articles, I got so many good notices – more than ever in my career – and there was a lot of ‘She’s going to get nominated for an Oscar, it’s going to happen, if it doesn’t you’re crazy,’ ” she said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

      Despite the snub, the “On the Floor” star said she had to look at all the accomplishments she received over the past 12 months, including her massive It’s My Party Tour in honour of her 50th birthday, and her headlining slot at the Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Shakira, which helped her realise there was more to life than accolades.
      “You want people’s validation, you want people to say you did a good job,” she said. “And I realised, ‘No you don’t need that, you do this because you love it,’ eventually realising that ‘I don’t need this award right here to tell me that I am enough.’ ”
