      Amber Heard's Possible Firing From 'Aquaman 2' Is Actively Discussed

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Warner Bros. is reportedly considering about replacing the actress in the ‘Aquaman’ sequel after people launched petition to remove her from the movie amid her ongoing legal drama with ex-husband Johnny Depp.
      Feb 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Amber Heard’s ongoing legal drama with her ex-husband Johnny Depp may cost her an acting gig. The actress, who starred as Mera a.k.a. Aquaman’s love interest in the 2018 movie, may lose the role in the upcoming sequel.
      Words are Warner Bros. is actively discussing about possibly replacing the 33-year-old star in “Aquaman 2”. While there’s still no final decision on the matter, several execs at the studio want to recast the role of Mera due to the bad press surrounding Heard and the huge number of fans who are now turning against her, We Got This Covered reports.
      Heard has been embroiled in a legal drama with her former husband Depp, whom she accused of domestic violence during their marriage. Depp paid Heard a settlement of US$7 million, which she donated to the ACLU and the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
      Later in 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation after she wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in which she made a claim about being a victim of domestic abuse and alluded to allegations she made against Depp in their explosive 2016 divorce.
      Recently, a leaked audio recording surfaced from one of the couple’s therapy sessions, in which the “Machete Kills” actress admitted to hitting the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor. “I’m sorry that I didn’t, uh, uh, hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you’re not punched,” she can be heard saying in the audio. “I don’t know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you’re fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you.”
      Following the leak of the audio, people demanded “Justice for Johnny Depp” and launched a petition on Change.org, requesting the removal of the actress from “Aquaman 2”. More than 190,000 people have signed the petition.
      Previously, WB was also considering to replace Depp in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise due to the domestic abuse allegations against him by Heard. The studio, however, made the controversial decision to keep him for the 2018 sequel, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”.

      The ‘Spider-Man’ director is in talks with Marvel Studios to helm ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ after Scott Derrickson stepped down due to ‘creative differences.’
      Feb 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – More than a decade after successfully bringing the lore of Spider-Man to big screen, Sam Raimi is about to re-enter Marvel Universe. The filmmaker has been named a potential director for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.
      According to Variety which first reported the news, the 60-year-old director is currently in talks with Marvel Studios for the gig. He is touted to replace Scott Derrickson, who stepped down from the directing role in January of this year due to “creative differences.”
      “Marvel and I have mutually agreed to part ways on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness due to creative differences,” Derrickson confirmed his departure via Instagram. “I am thankful for out collaboration,” he continued, adding that he would remain on the project as an executive producer.

The filmmaker, who is also known for creating the cult horror “Evil Dead” series, then returned to his roots by directing 2009’s supernatural horror film “Drag Me to Hell”. His last directing gig was for 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful”.
      He has since been focused on his producing role, with his works on other horror films including the 2013 “Evil Dead” reboot, 2015’s “Poltergeist”, 2019’s “Crawl” and the 2020 “The Grudge” movie.
      Benedict Cumberbatch is on board to reprise his role as the Sorcerer Supreme a.k.a. the title character in the “Doctor Strange” sequel, with Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being expected to appear in the film. Jade Bartlett was hired in October as the writer for “Doctor Strange 2”, which is slated for a May 7, 2021 release in the United States.

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      Feb 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The team behind Disney’s 2019 “Aladdin” remake is reportedly working on a new version of “Lilo & Stitch”.
      According to website, The Disinsider, Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who worked on last year’s 2019 box office hit, and awards season favourite, “The Two Popes”, will be producers on the flick, with Mike Van Waes working on the script. A director has yet to be confirmed.
      Stitch will apparently be voiced by the animated movie’s original actor, Chris Sanders, while as yet there’s no word of an actress for Lilo.
      The movie reportedly has a $60million budget and will be a part of Disney+ original films. Although slightly less than the 2002 original’s $80 million budget, the much-loved animated movie went on to gross a huge $273 million at the worldwide box office.
      The new film is set to follow in the steps of “The Lion King, “The Jungle Book”, “Cinderella”, and “Mulan” and will be re-created using live-action and CGI technology.
      “Lilo & Stitch” tells the story of Hawaiian girl Lilo who adopts Stitch, an alien-like creature originally known as Experiment 626 who is scientifically engineered to cause chaos and destruction, to be her dog. The two go on to develop a personal bond, as Lilo helps Stitch to unlock his heart and defy his destructive tendencies.

      Feb 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has caused a little commotion, less than a week before the highly-anticipated 2020 Academy Awards. On Tuesday, February 4, the Academy’s official Twitter accounted seemingly posted its own “predictions” of the Oscar winners.

      This tweet baffled many people, with one wondering, “Wonder if @TheAcademy will say something about this bot (?) that tweeted out Oscar predictions.” Another joked, “Not the academy twitter intern releasing their Oscar prediction list.” Someone else chimed in, “The academy deleted their Oscar predictions tweet which is somehow funnier than them tweeting it in the first place.”
      The Academy later explained in another tweet that the predictions were not made by the Academy itself, but by a fan. “We invited fans on Twitter to make and share your #Oscars predictions. A ton of you already have!” it stated. “A brief issue on Twitter made some of yours look like they came from our account. They didn’t.

      Edward Norton Reacts After Accused of Blocking Janeane Garofalo From 'Fight Club' Role

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The ‘Birdman’ actor denies allegations that he barred Janeane Garofalo from David Fincher’s 1999 movie because he wanted then-girlfriend Courtney Love for the role.
      Feb 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Edward Norton has hit back after Janeane Garofalo blamed him for her losing out on a role in David Fincher’s hit movie “Fight Club”.
      During an interview with Build Series, Janeane revealed that she’d been up for the role of Marla Singer in the 1999 film, and “met with David Fincher, who handed me the script and said, ‘If you like it, the part is yours.’ ”
      However, the 55-year-old actress claims she was shot down and “was told that he (Edward) would like Courtney Love to do it, because he was dating her, but Brad Pitt said, ‘I’m not going to sign off on that.’ So, they agreed on Helena Bonham Carter, who was probably much better than I would have been.”
      Following Janeane’s allegations, Edward set the record straight in a chat with CNN, during which he said he’s “sorry Janeane is under that impression, but if she was serious, she’s really mistaken.”
      “David Fincher does exactly what he wants,” he added. “He makes the call on every dimension of his films, top to bottom. I don’t recall him ever even raising the subject of who he was considering for most other roles.”
      “The one suggestion I made, he shot down. I was a big fan of Janeane’s so I’d have loved to do a reading with her.”

      WENN/Michael Wright/Joseph Mar

      The ‘Justice League’ actor and the hip-hop star will serve as co-producers for ‘Neptune Frost’ which is set to be executive produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
      Feb 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Justice League” star Ezra Miller is teaming up with artist/actor Saul Williams to develop a sci-fi musical set to be executive produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
      Miller and Williams have formed a new production company, called MartyrLoserKin, through which they will create “Neptune Frost”, which will serve as the hip-hop star’s directorial debut.
      According to Deadline, the film will focus on an intersex African hacker, a miner, and the virtual marvel born as a result of their union.
      “Neptune Frost” will be the first offering from MartyrLoserKin, which Miller and Williams plan to use to “create and proliferate works that dismantle conventional cinematic ideological frameworks, as well as to synergistically naturalize into this industry more poetic, queer, explorative, anarchic, diverse, subversive, non-binary, aboriginal, environmental, ecological and esoterically conscious content that will speak to both the times in which we live and the forces that seek to restrict them,” they state in a press release.
      The two collaborators will co-produce “Neptune Frost”, with “Hamilton” creator and former star Miranda on board as an executive producer.
      Pre-production is already underway in Rwanda.

      by

      Optioned by Disney and directed by Thomas Kail, this movie version of the historical hip-hop production will feature the original Tony Award-winning cast during a June 2016 show.
      Feb 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lin-Manuel Miranda is taking his hit Broadway musical “Hamilton” to the big screen.
      The creator and former star of the historical hip-hop production has revealed a filmed version of “Hamilton”, featuring the original, Tony Award-winning cast during a June, 2016 show, has been optioned by Disney bosses and will be released in theatres in October, 2021.
      The footage was directed by Thomas Kail, and will be co-produced by Miranda.
      “I fell in love with musical storytelling growing up with the legendary Howard Ashman-Alan Menken Disney collaborations – ‘The Little Mermaid (1989)’, ‘Beauty and The Beast’, ‘Aladdin’,” Miranda shares in a statement.
      “I’m so proud of what Tommy Kail has been able to capture in this filmed version of ‘Hamilton’ – a live theatrical experience that feels just as immediate in your local movie theatre.”
      “We’re excited to partner with Disney to bring the original Broadway company of ‘Hamilton’ to the largest audience possible.”
      Disney chief Bob Iger adds, “Lin-Manuel Miranda created an unforgettable theater experience and a true cultural phenomenon, and it was for good reason that ‘Hamilton’ was hailed as an astonishing work of art.”
      “All who saw it with the original cast will never forget that singular experience. And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to share this same Broadway experience with millions of people around the world.”

      In addition to Miranda, who portrayed lead character Alexander Hamilton, the film version of “Hamilton” features a cast that includes Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., Jonathan Groff, and Phillipa Soo.
      It’s not the only Miranda musical to get the movie treatment – the star has been working on recreating his In the Heights production as a new film, which is due to open in cinemas this summer.
