      Edie Falco Refuses to 'Go Method' for Her Roles

      by

      WENN/Instar

      The former ‘Nurse Jackie’ actress says she would rather dream up her characters and use her imagination than go through transformations to ‘become’ them.
      Mar 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Edie Falco refuses to ‘go method’ on the characters she plays on TV, because she prefers to use her imagination.
      The former “The Sopranos” star can’t understand her peers who go through transformations to “become” characters, insisting it’s much more fun to dream them up.
      For instance, Edie didn’t spend time with the Los Angeles Police Department while researching her latest TV role as cop boss Abigail Thomas for “Tommy”.
      “I don’t know about research,” she tells WENN. “I’ve tried. I’ve been kind of pushed into it by overzealous producers and I find myself standing opposite someone who really had the job I’m supposed to be doing. I don’t find it helpful. I find it confusing. It involves a different part of my brain than the part of me that acts.”
      “I’m sure some actors swear by it, and God bless them! Daniel Day-Lewis becomes the other person and is referred to by the character’s name (in between takes). Everybody works in different ways. Years ago I would’ve made up a whole story about my prep right now, but I’m over it!”
      “If I was playing a cowboy, I wouldn’t think, ‘So, what would a real cowboy do?’ You’re just deeply playing. Your imagination takes over and you’re living the life of a person with different life circumstances.”

      Mandy Moore Almost Gave Up Acting Before 'This Is Us'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘A Walk to Remember’ actress admits she lost her confidence and almost quit acting after struggling to land a role and getting repeatedly turned down.
      Mar 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mandy Moore considered quitting acting before landing her career-making role in hit U.S. TV show “This Is Us”.
      The multi-talented star had been more well known for her singing than her acting in 2015, although had starred in relatively successful movies “A Walk to Remember” and “Because I Said So” by that time.
      However, when it came to her future in the business, Mandy wasn’t sure she had what it takes to make it – with the constant knock-backs taking their toll.
      “I had done four failed TV pilots,” she said in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning”, airing this Sunday, March 1, 2020. “So, I was kind of at the point where I was like, ‘Maybe this acting thing is done for me.’ Like, ‘Maybe I need to hang it up and go back to Florida, go to school, go try my hand at something else.”
      Luckily, Mandy persevered, and achieved a whole new fanbase through her role as Rebecca Pearson in “This Is Us”.
      Elsewhere in the interview, she spoke about her marriage to Ryan Adams. The pair wed in 2009 and finalised their divorce in 2016, with the 35-year-old star admitting her troubled relationship contributed to her low self-worth.
      “I just felt like I was at a point in my life where I was the most comfortable making myself the least priority, and I made myself as small as possible in order to make someone else comfortable,” she explained.

      WENN

      The ‘Ray Donovan’ actor has been signed on to join Will Smith in an upcoming true-story feature film chronicling Serena and Venus Williams’ father Richard.
      Mar 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Liev Schreiber has joined Will Smith in the cast of “King Richard”, a biopic centred on Serena Williams and Venus Williams’ tennis coach father Richard.
      According to The Hollywood Reporter, Schreiber will play tennis coach Paul Cohen, a noted instructor who worked with John McEnroe and Pete Sampras, who Richard brought on board to give his daughters lessons.
      Reinaldo Marcus Green is directing the drama, which features Will in the title role and Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton as Venus and Serena, respectively. Aunjanue Ellis and Jon Bernthal will also star.
      The script by Zach Baylin depicts how the uncompromising tennis dad trained his two daughters to play tennis on the cracked courts in Compton, Los Angeles, and coached them all the way to Grand Slam wins and all-time greatness.

      Susan Sarandon Struggling to Act Out Threesome Scene in Her New Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Thelma and Louise’ actress admits she didn’t know how to do the kinky sex act in the movie ‘The Jesus Rolls’ because she never did a threesome in her life.
      Mar 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Susan Sarandon had to rely on John Turturro and Bobby Cannavale for threesome guidance in new movie “The Jesus Rolls” because she had no idea about the “logistics” of the kinky sex act.
      The crime comedy features the “Thelma & Louise” star as Jean, a newly-released prisoner who celebrates her freedom by jumping into bed with Turturro and Cannavale’s misfit characters.
      However, Sarandon reveals she had to defer to writer/director Turturro for instructions on how he wanted her to act out the scene, because it’s not something she had ever experienced.
      “I can’t even imagine the logistics of a threesome!” the 73 year old laughed in a joint interview on U.S. breakfast show “Today”.
      However, Sarandon wasn’t the only one who needed direction for the sequence, so Turturro came up with a little choreography to ensure it played out seamlessly onscreen.
      “Bobby didn’t wanna share at first,” Turturro revealed. “He was like, kissing Susan, and I was like, ‘Bobby, I have to like, (get involved too).’ ”
      “So we did basically a count: one, two, three, move; one, two, three, move… I would tap Susan… and then Susan would turn.”
      “It was a dance!” Sarandon smiled.
      “The Jesus Rolls” serves as both a remake of Bertrand Blier’s 1974 French movie, “Going Places”, and a spin-off of the Coen brothers’ “The Big Lebowski”, in which Turturro’s Jesus Quintana first appeared back in 1998.

      Roman Polanski's Best Director Win Triggers Walkout at 2020 Cesar Awards

      by

      WENN

      The exiled filmmaker’s ‘An Officer and a Spy’ has also brought home Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Costume Design kudos, while Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Parasite’ claims Best Foreign Film.
      Feb 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Adele Haenel sparked a walkout at the 2020 Cesar Awards in France on Friday, February 28 after leaving the event in disgust as Roman Polanski was named Best Director.
      The filmmaker, who remains in exile in Europe after running from a 1977 rape conviction in America, cancelled plans to attend the French equivalent of the Oscars on the eve of the show to avoid a “public lynching” after feminist activists unveiled plans to stage a demonstration outside the Paris prizegiving.
      Despite his absence, his latest movie, “An Officer and a Spy”, scooped a trio of honours, including Best Director for Polanski, which led to a number of audience members leaving their seats at the Salle Pleyel.
      Best Actress nominee Haenel, who had earlier slammed officials at the French Film Academy for nominating Polanski at all, was visibly upset as his name was announced, and promptly exited the hall, as a group of others soon followed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
      The “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” star is herself a sexual assault survivor, having accused director Christophe Ruggia of abusing and harassing her since first starring in his movies at the age of 12.
      “An Officer and a Spy” also triumphed in the Best Adapted Screenplay category, recognising Polanski and co-writer Robert Harris, while Pascaline Chavanne took the Cesar for Best Costume Design.
      It lost out on the top accolade of Best Film to Ladj Ly’s “Les Miserables (2020)”, which took home a total of four awards, including Best Male Newcomer for Alexis Manenti.
      The Best Actress honour was collected by Anais Demoustier for “Alice and the Mayor”, and Roschdy Zem claimed the male equivalent for “Oh Mercy!”.
      Lyna Khoudri was declared Best Female Newcomer for her work in “Papicha”, which was also named Best First Film for director Mounia Meddour, while the supporting actor and actress prizes went to Swann Arlaud (“By the Grace of God”), and Fanny Ardant (“La Belle Epoque”).
      There was also another win for South Korean thriller “Parasite”, which earned director Bong Joon Ho the Best Foreign Film award, weeks after his historic Oscars victories.
      The full list of 2020 Cesar Awards winners is:
      Best Film: “Les Miserables (2020)”, Ladj Ly
      Best Director: “An Officer and A Spy”, Roman Polanski
      Best Actress: Anais Demoustier, “Alice and the Mayor”
      Best Actor: Roschdy Zem, “Oh Mercy!”
      Best Foreign Film: “Parasite”, Bong Joon-Ho
      Best Documentary Film: “M”, Yolande Zauberman
      Best First Film: “Papicha”, Mounia Meddour
      Best Original Screenplay: “La Belle Epoque”, Nicolas Bedos
      Best Adapted Screenplay: “An Officer and a Spy”, Roman Polanski, Robert Harris
      Best Supporting Actress: Fanny Ardant, “La Belle Epoque”
      Best Supporting Actor: Swann Arlaud, “By the Grace of God”

      Henry Cavill May Debut as New Wolverine in 'Captain Marvel 2'

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The ‘Man of Steel’ actor is rumored to play the new incarnation of the X-Men character and team up with Brie Larson’s superhero character in the upcoming Marvel movie.
      Feb 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Henry Cavill may trade his Superman cape for adamantium claws. The British actor, who has played the Last Son of Krypton since 2013’s “Man of Steel”, is said to portray Wolverine and make his debut in “Captain Marvel 2”.
      The rumor first originated from YouTube channel The Quartering. And while the words of Cavill playing the X-Men character may sound pretty outlandish, Wolverine and Captain Marvel crossover is already happening in the comics.
      The two characters’ big screen crossover is also made possible now following 20th Century Fox’s acquisition by Disney in 2019. The Mouse House has begun distributing Marvel movies in 2010 since its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in 2009.
      Neither Marvel nor Cavill has responded to the rumor of him possibly appearing in the “Captain Marvel” sequel, but this is not the first time he’s reported to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Back in August 2019, there’s report that he’s being recruited by the studio for a future film project.
      Should this be happen, Cavill will make a leap from the DC Extended Universe to its biggest rival, MCU. The 36-year-old hunk gained prominence and international recognition for portraying Superman in “Man of Steel”. He reprised the role in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016) and “Justice League” (2017).
      The new Batman standalone movie, however, has been in limbo following the lukewarm reception of “Justice League”, prompting speculation that Cavill might have hung up his Superman cape. However, in a 2019 interview with Men’s Health magazine, he insisted, “I’ve not given up the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet.”
      Wolverine itself was widely popularized on the big screen by Hugh Jackman, who made his debut as the character in 2000’s “X-Men”. He made his final appearance as the clawed-mutant in 2017’s “Logan”.
      “Captain Marvel 2”, which has Brie Larson attached to reprise her role as Carol Danvers and her alter ego, is expected to arrive in 2022.

      Gwyneth Paltrow Hates Her Movie 'Shallow Hal'

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The ‘Avenger: Endgame’ actress names the 2001 critically-panned romantic comedy fronted by comedian Jack Black as her ‘least favorite’ film in her catalogue.
      Feb 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2001 comedy “Shallow Hal” is her “least favourite” movie she’s worked on.
      The Oscar-winning actress opened up on her career in a ‘BFF Test’ sponsored by Netflix’s “The Goop Lab” – which gives an inside look at the “Avengers: Endgame” star’s celebrated lifestyle brand.
      Gwyneth was partnered with her assistant and close friend, Kevin Keating, and when he was asked to name his pal’s “least favourite performance,” Keating immediately guessed “Shallow Hal”, as the star added, “Exactly.”
      “I’m not sure who told you to do that one. But it wasn’t me. Not around for that,” said Keating.
      Gwyneth added, “That was before your time, see what happened…”
      The actress appeared as Rosemary in the Farrelly brothers’ movie, which was panned at the time of release for promoting “fat discrimination.”
      In the film, Jack Black plays the superficial Hal, who only falls for physically beautiful women. But after hypnosis, he sees only inner beauty and falls in love with the obese Rosemary.
      Gwyneth played the physical ideal seen only by Hal, and wore a bodysuit for her performance as the plus-size character Rosemary.

      Daniel Craig Admits to Faking High Speed Chase Scenes in 'No Time to Die'

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The James Bond actor is not allowed to do his own stunts because driving while acting is deemed too dangerous in his final outing as the British 007 superspy agent.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Daniel Craig was banned from driving James Bond’s iconic Aston Martin DB5 as he shot his final movie in the franchise, “No Time to Die”.
      The star is departing his role as 007 after five movies and, in a chat with Top Gear magazine, he explained that he couldn’t drive and act at the same time as it was seen to be too dangerous, so his stunt driver Mark Higgins would take his place while filming high speed chase scenes.
      “You know we fake it, don’t you? We’re not allowed to do that any more, although I do go driving,” the star, 51, said.
      However, he added, “I was allowed to doughnut the DB5 in Matera (Italy), which was great,” referencing the move which involves spinning the car around in a tight, circular motion.
      The safety measure was a likely a relief for Craig, who fell awkwardly and broke his ankle while sprinting for a scene filmed in Jamaica last May 2019, and he was required to undergo minor surgery to fix the injury.
      He took two weeks off to recuperate, but was soon back in action, and later insisted he was fighting fit as he returned to set to complete work on the flick.
      “No Time to Die” hits theatres in April.
