      'Mission: Impossible 7' Shuts Down Production in Italy Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      Bosses at Paramount are reportedly looking into alternate locations for filming the Tom Cruise-starring movie after the number of those affected by the epidemic grows in the country.
      Feb 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filming on the latest “Mission: Impossible VII” movie in Venice, Italy has been halted due to coronavirus concerns.
      The Tom Cruise movie has been temporarily shut down as Italian government officials continue to put a stop to public gatherings, while the number of those affected by the epidemic grows.
      The action thriller, the seventh in the series, was set to hit the city for three weeks and now bosses at Paramount are looking into alternate locations, according to Deadline.
      The news comes as British singer Mabel pulled the plug on an upcoming Milan gig due to fears about the spread of the disease.
      Italian government officials are battling hard to contain the spread of the virus, placing lockdown restrictions on more than 50,000 people in areas which have experienced cases of the virus, which originated in China late last year (19).
      Cases in Italy have surged from three on Friday to more than 200 on Monday, with seven deaths, prompting tough action from officials.
      Designer Giorgio Armani cancelled his Milan Fashion Week show on Sunday for the health and safety of his models and those planning to attend.

      Taiki Waititi Named Potential 'Deadpool 3' Director

      by

      WENN/20th Century Fox/Instar

      Words are the ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ helmer is being considered to fill the director’s chair for the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Deadpool 2′, which is currently in the works.
      Feb 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taiki Waititi may reunite with Ryan Reynolds for “Deadpool 3”. The “Thor: Ragnarok” helmer is reportedly being eyed to direct the follow-up to 2018’s “Deadpool 2”, which will have the Canadian actor reprising his role as the Merc with a Mouth.
      According to We Got This Covered, the New Zealand filmmaker is one of the names being considered to fill the director’s chair, which remains empty as it was reported in 2016 that Fox was looking for a separate director from “Deadpool 2” to helm the third movie. It’s unknown, though, who else are on the studio’s list of potential director for “Deadpool 3”.
      Back in May 2018, “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch expressed his interest in returning for another Deadpool movie, though he was only signed for the second installment. “I would be grateful to work on something [starring Reynolds’ Deadpool] again. It just depends on time and place, so we’ll see what happens,” he said at the time.
      Despite the success of “Deadpool 2” which set the record for the second-best opening for an R-rated film behind the original, “Deadpool 3” has not been officially announced.
      Following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in early 2019, there was a question at which direction the R-rated film franchise would take under the supervision of Disney, which has been focusing on family friendly content. Disney CEO Bob Iger later said that Deadpool would be integrated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that the company would be willing to make future R-rated Deadpool films “as long as we let the audiences know what’s coming.”
      In October 2019, Reese and Wernick, who penned the first two films, said that they had a script in development, but were waiting for approval from Marvel Studios to begin production on the third film. Reese confirmed, “[Deadpool] will live in the R-rated universe that we’ve created, and hopefully we’ll be allowed to play a little bit in the MCU sandbox as well and incorporate him into that.”
      Later in December 2019, Reynolds said on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that “Deadpool 3” is in the works. “We’re working on it right now with the whole team,” he said, before adding, “We’re over at Marvel, which is the big leagues all of a sudden. It’s kind of crazy.”
      As for Waititi, he recently won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing “Jojo Rabbit”, hereby becoming the first person of Maori descent to win an Oscar. He previously worked with Reynolds when both of them star in 2011’s “Green Lantern”, which ended up being the biggest movie flop in their careers.

      Shania Twain Adding Oscar Win to Her Bucket List

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Still the One’ hitmaker is addicted to acting after making her movie debut in 2019 and hopes to win an Academy Award as she’s gearing up for her new film.
      Feb 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Country music superstar Shania Twain has added an Oscar win to her bucket list after falling in love with her new acting career.
      The “Still the One” hitmaker made her big screen debut opposite John Travolta in 2019 action film “Trading Paint”, and has now teamed up with Gary Sinise for upcoming movie, “I Still Believe”, in which she portrays the mother of Christian musician Jeremy Camp.
      Working alongside the two Hollywood veterans proved to be valuable masterclasses for Shania, who credits the stars for helping to bring out her acting talent.
      “They are both so experienced as actors, and they influenced me a lot. I learned a lot from them,” she tells syndicated columnist Allison Kugel. “They were kind and very helpful and made me feel very much at ease, and I just loved being on the set.”
      “John Travolta made me feel very comfortable, and a film set is somewhere I feel I belong. It comes to me very naturally. I have no nerves about it or anything like that.”
      The singer-turned-actress admits she had never harboured onscreen dreams before tackling Trading Paint, and now she is hooked.
      “I really would love to do more on film, so it sparked an interest I didn’t realise I had,” she explains. “It’s a newfound joy in my life where I can be creative and step out of myself like no other element in my career.”
      And Shania is so determined to build up her acting resume, she is hoping it will one day lead to a big win at the Academy Awards.
      She smiles, “It would be fun to get an Oscar… That would be a bucket list thing, of course! Why not? I would definitely add an Oscar to my bucket list.”

      Phoebe Waller-Bridge Recalls 'Challenging' Time Working on 'No Time to Die' Script

      by

      WENN/Instar

      During an interview on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’, the ‘Killing Eve’ creator admits that she had to combine Daniel Craig and director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s vision for the James Bond movie.
      Feb 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Phoebe Waller-Bridge found working on the new James Bond film “No Time to Die” “challenging” as she had to live up to Daniel Craig and director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s vision for the franchise.
      The “Fleabag” and “Killing Eve” creator was brought on board late in the day to work on the script for the new movie, which is due out in April (2020).
      In an interview on BBC Radio 4’s “Woman’s Hour” programme the award-winning actress/ writer revealed she had found penning scenes a challenge as she was having to combine her ideas with others.
      “It was really challenging, my role there was to try and be helpful and to offer things,” the star said.
      Explaining her contribution, she added: “The script was there. Cary had a really specific vision for the movie and so did Daniel, and it had been in development for a really long time and they had a script.”
      “So that process for me was about stepping back and just saying, ‘I’m going to give you these options and then you can use any of them or you can get rid of all of them’, because everybody was writing on it. There were just so many ideas.”
      Although, she felt at home in the writers’ room – there were reminders she was working on the set of a huge blockbuster.
      “You got to meet Daniel and have these incredible conversations about this character you’ve grown up with and suddenly, when you’re on board it’s like every other job,” Phoebe gushed.
      “Because everyone’s just making a story. Making a thing work. Suddenly, you’re in a room again with Post-Its on the wall, but then you’ll go to the loo and see a set being built outside for some extraordinary thing and say ‘oh this is different’.”
