      by

      WENN/Twitter

      The ‘Basic Instinct’ actress praises the ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ director for being nothing but ‘spectacular,’ ‘wonderful,’ and ‘super professional’ with her.

      Mar 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sharon Stone has insisted that all her experiences working with Woody Allen were “wonderful” and “highly professional.”

      The actress teamed up with the disgraced filmmaker on three movies – “Stardust Memories”, “Antz”, and “Fading Gigolo”. She touches upon her work with Allen in her new memoir “The Beauty of Living Twice” and, as she was interviewed about the book on Sirius XM’s “The Michelle Collins show” on Wednesday (24Mar21), she further explained that despite the sexual abuse claims made against the director, she’s only ever had a good time working with him.

      “I don’t want to say I never had an untoward experience with Woody Allen,” Sharon said, as she was asked what she thought about the “[m=Allen v. Farrow documentary, which explores Dylan Farrow’s claims that she was molested by Allen when she was seven years old.

      “My experiences with Woody Allen were all wonderful, he was highly professional with me. He was extraordinarily encouraging to me and I was a young woman, 19, when I started working with him. I’ve done three films with him. He’s been nothing but spectacular with me. I have no experience of him being anything but terrific.”

      She added, “I am fully aware of the documentary that’s come out recently, but I have zero of those experiences to report. I can say that while the (Allen v. Farrow) documentary may very well be a hundred per cent true, it is not my experience. I had a super professional and a particularly wonderful experience working with him. Which is why I worked with him three times.”

      Allen has always strenuously denied Dylan’s allegations.

      Scarlett Johansson Reveals Why She Was Initially Skeptical About Starring in 'The Avengers'

      by

      Marvel Studios

      In addition to revealing her thoughts on the Black Widow concept that might be a ‘disaster,’ the ‘Marriage Story’ star admits she ‘misses’ being able to ‘pull apart’ her character.

      Mar 25, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Scarlett Johansson was initially skeptical about starring as a superhero in the Marvel series.

      The 36-year-old actress – who has played Black Widow in the hit “The Avengers” movies for a number of years – admitted she thought the whole concept would be a “disaster” when it was first pitched to her.

      “Even the thought of all of us together in our superhero costumes sounded like it was going to be a disaster. Not a disaster, but, like, ‘What is this? What is this?'” she told The Gentlewoman.

      However, there was one moment for Scarlett which really made her feel like it was “going to work”.

      Speaking about the iconic shot of her and her castmates standing in the city as it burns down around of them, she added, “I remember doing that 360 shot, and we’re standing in the rubble of Grand Central or whatever, of this alien onslaught, and all of us are ready, like: Here we go, this is it.

      “And then they showed us the playback, and I think that was the moment that all of us, finally, after six months of shooting, were, ‘Oh, this is going to work. I think this is going to work.'”

      Scarlett has worked with a number of directors over the years, and she admitted she “misses” being able to “pull apart” her role, as she did with “Marriage Story” director, Noah Baumbach.

      “Noah could talk things out forever. Forever. He could spend hours just talking through one scene, and it becomes part of our life,” she smiled. “He loves to pull all that stuff apart. I miss that, I miss that part of my job. The problem-solving, figuring out why stuff is not working – that’s the fun stuff.”

      Evan Peters Re-Team Up With Ryan Murphy on Upcoming Netflix Serial Killer Series

      by

      WENN

      Niecy Nash, Richard Jenkins and Penelope Ann Miller will also star alongside the ‘WandaVision’ actor, who will play Jeffrey Dahmer on limited series titled ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’.

      Mar 25, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actor Evan Peters is bringing notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to life onscreen in a new Ryan Murphy drama series.

      The “WandaVision” star will reteam with his “American Horror Story” co-creator Murphy for “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”, in which he will be joined by Richard Jenkins and Penelope Ann Miller, who will play his parents. Penelope has been cast as Joyce, with Richard playing Lionel.

      The limited series, co-starring Niecy Nash, will tell the story from the point of view of Dahmer’s victims, chronicling the police incompetence and white privilege which enabled him to continue his killing spree for years, reports Deadline. Niecy Nash has been cast as the female lead, Glenda Cleveland. Cleveland was a neighbor of Dahmer’s who alerted police and the FBI of Dahmer’s suspicious behavior, but they did not listen.

        See also…

      The limited series will be set for 10 episodes. It is currently in pre-production and will air on Netflix.

      Dahmer infamously raped, murdered, and dismembered at least 17 male victims in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 1978 until he was finally arrested in 1991.

      He was subsequently found to have engaged in cannibalism and necrophilia, and was imprisoned for life in 1992, but was battered to death by a fellow inmate just two years later, aged 34.

      Peters is the latest actor to step into the dark world of Dahmer – Jeremy Renner played the killer in 2002 movie “Dahmer”, Carl Crew tackled the role in 1993’s “The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer”, and Ross Lynch portrayed the criminal in 2017’s “My Friend Dahmer”.

      Directors of Tina Turner's Documentary Are 'Nervous' About 'Re-Traumatizing' Singer

      by

      Instagram

      According to co-director T.J. Martin, the upcoming HBO documentary will explore the traume of abuse that Tina has experienced during her 16 years of marriage to late partner Ike Turner.

      Mar 25, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Tina Turner’s HBO documentary “Tina” will dwelve into the music icon’s life including her rise to fame as well as her abusive massiage to Ike Turner. According to co-director T.J. Martin, it will explore the traume of abuse that Tina has experienced.

      The TV documentary will also give viewers insight into Ike’s brutal control over her personal and professional life. “I was living a life of death,” Tina says. She also admits to co-writer Kurt Loder for her autobiography, “It wasn’t a good life. The good did not balance the bad.”

      “So much of her journey is a pursuit of her own identity and her own voice. There’s an overarching theme of ownership in the entire film,” co-director T.J. Martin tells USA TODAY. “It’s embarrassing that she’s not inducted as a solo artist. And after you know her story, it’s even more weird.”

      He goes on to say of the singer, who is known for her signature sequins, voluminous hair and throaty growl, “Also, just in music terms, she’s infinitely more successful as a solo artist than she and Ike ever were. So it’s mind-boggling to not at least give her the recognition of what she achieved on her own.”

        See also…

      As for co-director Dan Lindsay, Dan notes that there’s value “in people coming forward with their truth, to not only shine a light on certain aspects of our society, but also to help other survivors.” He adds, “But the other side of that, and the kind of paradox, is that by asking people who suffered this trauma to talk about it, you are inevitably retraumatizing them in some shape or form.”

      The directors also admits in an interview that they’re worried that the flick will “re-traumatize” the singer. “We didn’t realize how much of her trauma at this stage in her life is still bubbling right underneath the surface. Because that doesn’t line up with the narrative of Tina Turner, and the notion of someone who had the strength and resilience to overcome her abuse. Instead, it is someone who is processing and choosing to survive every day. That discovery fundamentally shaped the direction of the film. For me, that’s the standout thing,” T.J. shares to Vanity Fair.

      “During quarantine, they rented out a little screening room for her to watch the movie, and she changed the dates multiple times, which just made us even more nervous. But, eventually, she watched it, and it was reported back that she loved it. She enjoyed seeing the performances, and it was not as challenging to watch as she thought it might be. The note was that she said we’d gotten it right,” he continues.

      “Tina” will premiere on Saturday, March 27 on HBO and HBO Max at 8 P.M. EST/PST.

      Kate Winslet Acknowledges Her Lesbian Scenes Got More Attention Than Her Other Love Scenes

      by

      Neon

      When asked if conversation about her sex scenes with Saoirse Ronan felt distracting, the ‘Ammonite’ star stresses on the need to support the LGBTQ community and make them more visible.

      Mar 24, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Kate Winslet has been asked more about the lesbian scenes in her new film “Ammonite” than any heterosexual sex romps.

      The Oscar winner portrays real-life English paleontologist Mary Anning in the film, which chronicles her secret relationship with Charlotte Murchison, played by Saoirse Ronan. And the project is definitely getting attention – mainly because of the love scenes.

      “I definitely feel a sort of a duty to serve Mary Anning… and the story,” Kate told Digital Spy. “The story is so much about her, and her remarkable achievements that were unsung, unknown, re-appropriated by men, taken from her wrongfully.”

        See also…

      “I didn’t feel, ‘Oh, God, let me get away from the talking about the sex scenes and come back to that!’ but what I definitely found really striking is that people seem to talk about the love scenes in the film in ways that are much more focused, because it’s two women,” she continued.

      Kate further shared the reason why she did not mind the sex scenes talks. “I’m telling you, with my hand on my heart, I have never been asked the same volume of questions about love scenes of a heterosexual nature, of which I have shot many in my life. And so that to me… that’s a conversation,” she explained.

      The 45-year-old went on to express what she hope the movie could bring to the LGBTQ community. “You know, there’s no shame around this, it’s just two women who love each other. And for me, I really hope that that contributes to the evolution and progression of how audiences view LGBTQ people and their relationships just by normalizing it completely.”

      'John Wick' Creator Gets Sidelined for Fourth and Fifth Films

      by

      Netflix/Niko Tavernise

      Though saying that he was not invited back by studio officials for the follow-ups, Derek Kolstad claims he is still close to Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, and is excited to see what the franchise will offer.

      Mar 24, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      The creator and writer behind Keanu Reeves’ hit “John Wick” film series has reportedly been sidelined for the planned fourth and fifth movies in the action franchise.

      Derek Kolstad penned the 2014 original and its sequel, 2017’s “John Wick: Chapter 2”, while he also had a writing credit on 2019’s “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum”. However, he won’t be involved in the next two follow-ups, because Kolstad claims he simply wasn’t invited back by studio officials.

      He tells Collider, “It wasn’t my decision. When you think of the, contractually, of these things, the third one I shared the credit with any number of people, they didn’t have to come back to me, and so they didn’t.”

      Kolstad insists he has accepted the news and just wants the franchise to continue doing well.

      “At a certain stage the studio will tell you, your creation is graduated, and you wish it well. I’m still close with [filmmaker] Chad [Stahelski], still close with [John Wick co-director] David [Leitch], and I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I’m excited to see.”

        See also…

      Reeves is set to return as the titular hitman, with Chad Stahelski back in the director’s chair for “John Wick: Chapter 4”, which was solely written by Shay Hatten, who worked with Kolstad and two others on “Chapter 3”.

      Production is expected to begin soon ahead of a May, 2022 release date.

      Although Kolstad is no longer involved in the big screen projects, he is still working on “The Continental”, a TV spin-off series set in the John Wick universe, which has been optioned by U.S. network bosses at Starz.

      “Well, they’re about to make some pretty large announcements in the next couple of weeks in regards to what’s going to happen there. Can’t say much, but it’s happening,” Kolstad said of the upcoming show.
