      Jim Carrey Credits Trailer Backlash for Making 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Better

      by

      The live-action adaptation of the SEGA console game has undergone changes at the titular character’s looks after its teaser, which was released in April, drew negative reactions from fans.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jim Carrey is glad fans spoke out against the initial trailer for his new “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie.
      The teaser for the film, which stars Carrey as the computer-animated rodent’s nemesis, Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, was released in April, but devotees of the original SEGA console game expressed dismay at the character’s looks, and the addition of human-like teeth in particular.
      Following the controversy, Sonic’s director Jeff Fowler, tweeted, “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen,” and a new, cartoonish version was revealed in a second trailer last November (2019).
      Speaking to Fox News, the star said of the controversy: “It turned out to be a co-op where everybody was in on the creation.”
      “I think everybody felt good about it ultimately because (director) Jeff Fowler (had) no ego involved at all. He just went, ‘These people grew up with it, and it’s important to them that we get it right.’ And I think it was just a much better movie because of it.”
      The “Bruce Almighty” actor added that he doesn’t create characters “based on what people are saying,” but that he also felt elements of the film weren’t “quite in the pocket” until being reworked.
      “It was my concern, as well,” he admitted. “(But) it turned out fantastic.”
      “Sonic the Hedgehog” is out now.

      Zoe Kravitz: Filming 'The Batman' With Robert Pattinson Is Going to Be Such an Adventure

      by

      WENN/Avalon/Nicky Nelson

      The ‘Big Little Lies’ actress, who will be seen as Catwoman in the superhero movie, reveals that she and her ‘delightful’ co-star have been training and rehearsing together.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Zoe Kravitz loves working with Robert Pattinson on “The Batman” and described the actor as “perfect” for the role.
      The 31-year-old actress, who plays Catwoman alongside the 33-year-old actor’s Caped Crusader, opened up in a new interview with Variety about teaming up with the star on the project, and confessed he’s “just a delightful person and such a wonderful, thoughtful actor.”
      “I’ve never worked with him before, but we’ve been together for the last few weeks, I had to camera test with him and now we’ve been training together and rehearsing together,” she said.
      “I think he’s perfect for the role and it’s going to be such an adventure,” she added. “I’m excited to have him as my partner in crime and to be there to support each other, because it’s intense. It’s going to be a long shoot and there’s a lot of pressure, and I know he has my back and I have his.”
      After Pattinson’s costume was revealed in a clip from a screen test shared online, Zoe opened up on the pressure she feels following in the footsteps of stars including Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who also played the role.
      “It was a little scary, but also whenever I get nervous about something, I feel it pushes me to a better place anyway, so I welcome the nerves,” she reflected. “If you start focusing too much on what people are going to think you’re doing yourself a disservice, it’s almost like you’re putting your energy in the wrong place.”
      “Of course, I want to honor the fans and hope they like what I do with the role, but in order to do what I think I need to do with Catwoman I have to go internal and forget about the rest of the world.”

      Bradley Cooper In Talks for Bee Gees Biopic

      by

      WENN

      The ‘A Star Is Born’ actor is expected to portray one of the legendary Gibb brothers in the upcoming true-story movie revolving around the iconic British band.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bradley Cooper is reportedly in talks to play Bee Gees’ star Barry Gibb in a biopic about the British band.
      According to the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye, the Oscar-winning actor is having “informal discussions” with bosses about portraying the late singer and guitarist in a new movie (“Untitled Bee Gees Biopic”).
      Cooper has already shown off his vocal talents in “A Star Is Born”, which he starred in and directed, and would be required to sing if he took on the gig. However, Bamigboye added that the 45-year-old will “receive help” – presumably from a vocal coach – to reach the Bee Gees’ infamous high notes.
      The film, which doesn’t have a director as yet, is set to follow the Bee Gees – brothers Barry, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb – as they arrive back in London from Australia, after emigrating Down Under from their original home in the Isle of Man.
      It’s being written by Anthony McCarten, who has enjoyed massive success with films including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “The Theory of Everything”, and “The Two Popes”.

      'The Eternals' Reveals Gay Couple, Crew Cry During Kissing Scene

      by

      WENN/Ivan Nikolov/FayesVision

      Actors Brian Tyree Henry and Haaz Sleiman play the first openly gay married couple in Marvel Cinematic Universe and share ‘a beautiful, very moving kiss.’
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marvel Studios has confirmed that “The Eternals” will feature its first openly gay superhero and now the said character has been revealed. In a new interview with Logo, Haaz Sleiman says that he plays one half of the gay couple and that his character is “married to the gay superhero Phastos.”
      Phastos is portrayed by “Atlanta” star Brian Tyree Henry. Sleiman says their characters “represent a gay family and have a child.” Not shying away from the gay representation, the upcoming movie will also feature Marvel’s first gay kiss.
      “It’s a beautiful, very moving kiss,” Sleiman, who starred on miniseries “Killing Jesus”, teases about the kissing scene, which he claims brought everyone to tears during the filming. “Everyone cried on set,” he shares, before adding, “For me it’s very important to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be.”
      Praising his co-star, Sleiman says, “Brian Tyree Henry is such a tremendous actor and brought so much beauty into this part.” He goes on dishing on the significance of their characters, “At one point I saw a child in his [Henry’s] eyes, and I think it’s important for the world to be reminded that we in the queer community we’re all children at one point. We forget that because we’re always depicted as sexual or rebellious. We forget to connect on that human part.”
      Prior to “The Eternals”, “Avengers: Endgame” featured co-director Joe Russo as the MCU’s first openly gay character. Fans, however, criticized the studio because the character was nameless and had a small part in the movie, while the Russo brothers had touted representation in the MCU.
      “The Eternals” is also starring Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Don Lee a.k.a. Ma Dong Seok as Gilgamesh, and Kit Harington as Dane Whitman. Chloe Zhao serves as director. The movie is heading into theaters across the nation on November 6.

      WENN/FayesVision

      ‘The Batman’ director takes to Twitter to share footage from camera test showing the Bruce Wayne depicter sporting the Gotham superhero’s suit and mask.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Here’s the first official look at Robert Pattinson’s Batman suit. “The Batman” director Matt Reeves himself has offered a glimpse to the British actor in the new bat-suit by sharing camera test footage via his Twitter account on Thursday, February 13.
      The red-saturated camera test footage is set to a piano-driven score by composer Michael Giacchino that hints at the tonal shift in the upcoming standalone movie. In the footage, Pattinson steps into a dark frame until his his sleek and angular Batman suit slowly comes into focus. The camera then tilts up to capture the mask-wearing actor as he shows a brooding pose.

      Reeves, who also co-writes the film along with Mattson Tomlin, previously marked the first day of production by sharing the first official photo from the set of the upcoming Warner Bros.-DC Films movie. The image shared in late January featured the film’s clapboard sitting on a brown leather chair, which somehow fits the imagery of Wayne Manor.
      “The Batman” will focus on a younger Bruce Wayne than he was in previous movies. Reeves has shared his vision for the new Batman movie, saying, “It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films.” He added, “I’d love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it’s going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.”
      Joining the cast are 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 film is slated to open in theaters nationwide on June 25, 2021.
