      Willem Dafoe Finds It Hard to Bond With Robert Pattinson on Movie Set

      by

      A24

      The ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ actor explains why he couldn’t bond with his co-star on the set of Robert Eggers’ psychological horror ‘The Lighthouse’.
      Feb 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson were so intensely into their brooding characters while filming “The Lighthouse”, they didn’t “meet” each other properly until they started promoting the film.
      Dafoe tells WENN he and his co-star didn’t get to know each other during the shoot, because their characters disliked one another.
      “We were shooting in very difficult circumstances because a lot of it’s outdoors and we’re on this rocky peninsula, where we built this lighthouse,” he explains. “The weather was really extreme, really strong. So basically, I just knew him within the scenes and through the characters we were playing.”
      “We were working long hours and constantly changing to stay dry, just trying to survive the weather.”
      “Even when we’re in the interiors, it’s really cold and wet with flooding, so whenever you get a moment when you’re not working, you retreat to change clothes and prepare for the next scene.”
      “I lived in a little fisherman’s cottage, while Robert lived in town, so we never saw each other outside of the movie. It was only afterwards, when we started doing press, that we hung out a little bit and I got to know him.”
      In the black and white movie, Dafoe plays an eccentric lighthouse keeper and “Twilight” star Pattinson his troubled assistant.

      by

      Feb 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The live action remake of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical “Cats” led the nominees at the 2019 Golden Raspberry Awards.
      The box office flop, starring James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, and Jason Derulo, tied with “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral” and Sylvester Stallone’s “Rambo: Last Blood”, both of which are in the running for Worst Picture.
      They go up against psychological thriller “The Fanatic” and horror flick “The Haunting of Sharon Tate” for the dishonour.
      “Cats” was also recognised for Worst Screen Combo and Worst Director, with Corden receiving a Worst Supporting Actor nod and Dench and Wilson competing for Worst Supporting Actress.
      Worst Actor nominees include James Franco (“Zerovilla”), David Harbour (“Hellboy”), Matthew McConaughey (“Serenity”), Stallone (“Rambo: Last Blood”), and John Travolta, who landed two nods for “The Fanatic” and “Trading Paint”.
      For Worst Actress, Anne Hathaway was nominated for “The Hustle” and “Serenity”. She goes up against Hilary Duff (“The Haunting of Sharon Tate”), Francesca Hayward (“Cats”), Tyler Perry (“A Madea Family Funeral”), and Rebel Wilson (“The Hustle”).
      In the more praising categories, Eddie Murphy was nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Reward for his role in “Dolemite Is My Name”, along with Jennifer Lopez in “Hustlers” and Adam Sandler in “Uncut Gems”. Keanu Reeves (“John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum”, “Toy Story 4”) and Eddie Murphy (“Aladdin”) are also nominated.
      The redeemer prize recognises a past Razzie nominee or winner who has recently earned acclaim.

      Margot Robbie Confident 'Birds of Prey' Will Receive Positive Response

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Speaking about the ‘Suicide Squad’ spin-off, the ‘Bombshell’ actress believes her character Harley Quinn defies expectations and social norms in every way.
      Feb 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Margot Robbie’s new “Suicide Squad” spin-off “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” “defies expectations in every way,” according to the star.
      The Australian actress, 29, reprises her role as Harley Quinn in the forthcoming movie, and she told Fox News it’s the stereotypes she breaks that makes the character special.
      “I think the mere fact that we eliminated a romantic storyline kind of goes against what we’re used to or accustomed to seeing in a film when you have a female protagonist,” she said. “I think Harley defies expectations in every way, she defies social norms in every way and that’s just part of her (behaviour).”
      And the star insisted she’s not worried about pushing the boundaries, as it’s what audiences want.
      “I think people are really responding to something different these days,” she explained. “I think any time a movie or TV show is seemingly breaking the mold, people seem to respond extremely positively and I think that will happen in this case.”
      Robbie went on to suggest “Birds of Prey” is “fresh and different,” and unlike any other comic book film to date, adding it was “so fun” to reprise the role she originated in the 2016 film “Suicide Squad”.
      “Birds of Prey”, also starring Jurnee Smollett, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rosie Perez, is out now.

      Jennifer Lopez and 'Hustlers' Dragged by Academy Voter Following Criticisms Over Oscar Snub

      by

      STX Entertainment

      An anonymous male producer and an unnamed actress share their ‘brutally honest’ thoughts on the movies that receive nominations at this year’s Academy Awards.
      Feb 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – When the Oscar nominations were announced in January, The Academy faced backlash for excluding Jennifer Lopez from the list. While many people felt her performance in “Hustlers” was brilliant and deserved a recognition, a male producer who’s a member of The Academy thought otherwise.
      In The Hollywood Reporter’s annual “brutally honest Oscar ballot,” the voter said, “f**k J.Lo. I’m allergic to that movie. It isn’t a movie about ’empowering’ women; it’s a movie about slipping a**hole men roofies and f**king jacking them. Roger Corman made better stripper films – they had some meaning.”
      The producer was not a fan of Harriet Tubman movie either. “Cynthia [Erivo] was really, really good, but Harriet didn’t really have the guts that 12 Years a Slave had,” he lamented. “It was like the glossy Disney version of what slavery was.”
      Meanwhile, a female Oscar member called “Little Women”, of which director Greta Gerwig was among this year’s snub, “badly acted and confusing.” In her brutally honest commentaries, the anonymous actress criticized the casting, “I have no idea why they cast four British actresses to play American girls.”
      While Emma Watson and Florence Pugh are indeed British, Saoirse Ronan is in fact Irish-American and Eliza Scanlen is actually Australian.
      The voter additionally had a problem with the poverty portrayed in the period drama, “Every time they said they were poor, I gagged – they’re living in a beautiful two-story house, and they have a cook.”
      She also criticized “The Irishman”, “If someone besides Martin Scorsese had directed The Irishman, it wouldn’t have all the accolades; it does because of his years in the business. It was too long and too repetitive, and the reverse-aging did not work – they erased the lines in their faces, but they still walked like old men.”

      by

      Lionsgate/Claire Folger

      The first installment of the Daniel Craig-starring film received an Oscar nomination in addition to becoming a Box Office hit after hauling in close to $300 million worldwide.
      Feb 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Rian Johnson’s hit whodunnit “Knives Out” is set for a sequel.
      The film, starring Daniel Craig as a crack detective investigating a family murder, landed Johnson an Original Screenplay Oscar nomination. It also became a box office hit at the end of last year (2019), hauling in close to $300 million (£232 million) worldwide.
      And now Lionsgate studio bosses have officially greenlighted a follow-up.
      Johnson is keen to bring back Craig’s private investigator, Benoit Blanc, for the follow-up.
      “I had such a good time making it, such a great time working with Daniel, and now just seeing that audiences are responding to it, the idea of continuing it on seems like it would just be a blast,” the director previously told Deadline.

      Keanu Reeves Ditches Neo's Old Looks in First 'Matrix 4' Set Photos

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Instead of rocking Neo’s slid-back hair and clean-shaven face, the ‘John Wick’ actor keeps his own current style as he begins shooting the new installment of the sci-fi film franchise.
      Feb 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Keanu Reeves is back as Neo in the first set photos of “The Matrix 4”. The actor and his co-star Carrie-Anne Moss were spotted on the set in San Fransisco on Wednesday, February 5 as filming on the new sequel has begun.
      Judging from the photos shared by Bay Area newspaper San Francisco Examiner, it appears that Reeves’ Neo will have a new look in the upcoming movie. Pictured in between scenes taken on the streets of the Chinatown section, the 55-year-old actor was seen rocking his own current style, which includes long hair and bearded face.
      This is a departure from Neo’s old looks that saw him sporting slid-back hair and clean-shaven face. He also rocked blue jeans instead of the usual all-black outfit, with Neo’s trademark black sunglasses missing.
      Moss, who reprises her role as Trinity, also appeared to have a laid-back style with a dark jacket, though she still sports short hair like her character’s in the previous three movies.

      Some Twitter users have shared their opinions about Neo’s supposed new look in the upcoming movie, with one fan writing, “Some of you don’t even lie awake at night worrying if keanu reeves is going to cut his hair for the matrix 4 and it f***ing shows.”
      Besides Reeves and Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith has been confirmed to reprise her role as Niobe, while Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is cast reportedly as a young Morpheus and Neil Patrick Harris is added to play a mystery role. Laurence Fishburne played Morpheus in the original trilogy, while Hugo Weaving is not returning as the villainous Agent Smith due to scheduling issue.
      Lana Wachowski returns as director for “The Matrix 4” and serves as producer along with Grant Hill. Plot details are still kept under wraps, but it’s reported that the plot involves time travel. The movie is set for a May 21, 2021 release in the United States.
