      WENN

      The ‘Nomadland’ director and the ‘Promising Young Woman’ helmer are up for best director as the complete nominations list for the upcoming Academy Awards is announced.

      Mar 16, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Chloe Zhao and Emerald Fennell will both compete for best director at the 2021 Academy Awards setting a new record for female auteurs in the category.
      The nominations, announced on Monday (15Mar21) by actor-producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband, singer-songwriter-actor Nick Jonas saw both Zhao’s “Nomadland”, and British talent Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” selected in the Best Picture category, as well as earning them nods for their direction, breaching a new barrier again for female directors, who have typically been overlooked.
      It is the first time in the Academy Awards’ nearly almost 100-year history, more than one female director has been nominated in the best director category.
      In total, only five women have been nominated in the best director category, with Kathryn Bigelow, who directed 2010 movie “The Hurt Locker”, the first and only female director to win in the category.
      Both films garnered several nominations, with “Nomadland” collecting six including Best Actress for lead Frances McDormand, and Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” earning a Best Actress nod for Carey Mulligan among its five nominations. While David Fincher helmed “Mank” is the Oscars most nominated movie with 11 nods.
      Director Fincher will compete against Zhao, Fennell, Aaron Sorkin for “The Trial of the Chicago 7” – which garnered seven nods – Thomas Vinterberg for movie “Another Round”, and Lee Isaac Chung for “Minari”.
      In the Best Actor category, Chadwick Boseman was given another posthumous nod for his role in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, alongside his co-star Viola Davis who gets her fourth Oscar nomination, and her second nod for Best Actress.
      Also competing for Best Actor is “Mank” leading man Gary Oldman, fellow British stars Anthony Hopkins for “The Father” and Riz Ahmed for “Sound of Metal”, and Steven Yeun for “Minari”.
      The Best Actress category is rounded out by first-time nominees, singer Andra Day for “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” and former “The Crown” star Vanessa Kirby for “Pieces of a Woman”.
      In a move that may cause some controversy, British star Daniel Kaluuya is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor group for his starring role in “Judas and the Black Messiah”, alongside his co-star LaKeith Stanfield. Also in the supporting actor group are; Sacha Baron Cohen for “The Trial of the Chicago 7”, Leslie Odom Jr. for “One Night in Miami…”, and Paul Raci for “Sound of Metal”.
      Glenn Close receives her eighth Oscar nomination for her role in “Hillbilly Elegy”, and will compete against Cohen’s “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” co-star Maria Bakalova, Olivia Colman for “The Father”, Amanda Seyfried for “Mank”, and “Minari” star Yuh-Jung Youn in the Best Supporting Actress category.
      Elsewhere Disney’s “Soul” and “Onward” will battle it out for the Animated Movie category, which is rounded out by “Over the Moon”, “Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon”, and “Wolfwalkers”.
      The Oscars will take place on Sunday, 25 April.

      Robert Pattinson's 'The Batman' Finally Wraps Up Production After COVID-19 Delays

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      After series of delays due to coronavirus, the film that is scheduled to be released on March 4, 2022, finally completed its production with director Matt Reeves sharing the news on Twitter.

      Mar 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Get ready to see Robert Pattinson on black fitted costume. After series of production delays due to pandemic, filming on “The Batman” has eventually finished. The good news was shared by Matt Reeves on his Twitter page.
      “#LastDay #TheBatman cc: @GreigfraserD,” Matt wrote. Accompanying the short, yet meaningful caption, the 54-year-old director also posted a photo of clapperboard. Fans were excited about the announcement.

      Matt Reeves announced ‘The Batman’ filming has wrapped up.
      “YESSS WE LOVE TO SEE IT! NOW BRING ON BATTINSON,” one Twitter comment read. Another then added, “I believe in Matt Reeves and he has the creative vision and direction to truly bring life to this universe. With Robert Pattinson, the cast, and everyone who has dedicated their time to this film, I truly believe this is going to be a SUPERB Batman film!”

      Besides Matt, Jeffrey Wright, who took the role of Jim Gordon, also posted on his Instagram page, “Jim Gordon Gordon out. …for now. One year exactly after the shutdown. Some ride.” Jeffrey added the artistry feel by sharing portrait painting by @arvarvart, calling it “sweet piece.”

      The filming on the upcoming Batman big-screen project was suspended for six months in March last year, amidst the global pandemic as most part of the world was locked down. Once the filming resumed, it was once again postponed because Robert was reportedly positive for the virus in September.
      And it didn’t stop there. In November last year, the production must be halted once more after a stuntman was forced to isolate along with his bubble due to coronavirus.
      “The Batman” is scheduled to be released on March 4, 2022. Besides featuring Robert Pattinson and Jeffrey Wright, the movie also stars Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle or Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot or Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton or Riddler, John Turturro as a Gotham crime lord, and Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson, Gotham’s district attorney.

      by

      WENN/Sheri Determan

      Joe and Anthony Russo applaud James Cameron after his 2009 sci-fi epic reclaimed its global box office title by earning an estimated total of $2.81 billion from its weekend relaunch.

      Mar 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Avengers: Endgame” filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo have bowed down to fellow director James Cameron after his “Avatar” blockbuster reclaimed the title as the highest-grossing movie release in global box office history.
      The final “The Avengers” movie previously knocked “Avatar” off the top spot in July, 2019, but on Saturday, March 13, the 2009 sci-fi epic edged past “Endgame”‘s $2.79 billion takings to retake pole position, thanks to its re-release in China to help boost the box office amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
      By Sunday, “Avatar” had grossed $21.1 million (£15 million) from its weekend relaunch, taking its estimated total takings to $2.81 billion, and the Russo Brothers took to social media to applaud the massive achievement by sharing a piece of artwork which merged Marvel’s “Avengers” logo with that of “Avatar”.
      “Passing the gauntlet back to you… @JamesCameron,” they captioned the post. “Thanks for the beautiful art @Bosslogic.”

      Marvel Studios bosses also marked the occasion by tweeting, “Congratulations to @JimCameron , [producer] @JonLandau , and ALL of Na’vi Nation [‘Avatar’ fans] for reclaiming the box office crown!”

        See also…

      Referencing an Iron Man/Tony Stark quote in “Endgame”, they added, “We love you 3000. @OfficialAvatar.”
      Cameron has since reposted Marvel’s congratulatory note, replying with a blue heart emoji.

      James Cameron sent love to Marvel Studios for applauding ‘Avatar’ box office feat.
      Meanwhile, “Avatar” bosses have expressed their gratitude to movie-goers for their continued support of the franchise as they await the release of the long-anticipated sequel next year (2022).

      “Irayo [thank you] to our fans in China for coming out to see “Avatar” on the big screen this weekend!” they tweeted. “This crown belongs to Na’vi Nation – it couldn’t have happened without you.”

      'Mamma Mia!' Returning to Stage for Limited Run

      by

      YouTube

      The hit musical play based on ABBA’s songs is scheduled to return to the live stage with full production for a series of performances this coming summer.

      Mar 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Hit ABBA musical “Mamma Mia!” is returning for 23 performances in Leeds, England.
      Producer Judy Craymer tells the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye the full production will take place on a specially erected stage in the 100-acre grounds of Harewood House in August (21).
      It marks the first opportunity for people to see the musical since its West End and touring versions closed in the U.K. a year ago, amid the pandemic.
      Shows will take place between 13 and 30 August, with the cast formed from members of the U.K. and international touring troupe. Craymer has promised a “mega-mix extraordinaire” finale, devised by choreographer Anthony Van Laast.

      The show will be able to cater for 1,800 people per performance, with Craymer insisting, “We are socially distanced, by the nature of the event.”
      “Mamma Mia!” is set to re-open at the Novello Theatre in London as early as September, without social distancing, once England’s Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
      “We can’t play to 50 per cent capacity,” she explained. “We’re on our knees; big and small producers.”
      A movie adaptation of the same name was released back in 2008. It was a huge success with the cast including Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Dominic Cooper, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, and Colin Firth. It was also critically lauded at the Golden Globes and Grammy Awards.
      A decade later, a sequel “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” was made with the main cast reprising their respective roles.

      Billy Crudup Quits 'The Flash'

      by

      WENN

      The actor, who was originally cast to play Barry Allen’s father, has decided to pull out of the upcoming DC superhero movie fronted by Ezra Miller, citing scheduling conflicts.

      Mar 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Billy Crudup has dropped out of DC movie “The Flash” due to scheduling conflicts with his Apple TV Plus series “The Morning Show”.
      The 52-year-old was set to star as Henry Allen – the father of Barry Allen and his titular alter-ego – in the DC Extended Universe movie but has now left the production due to scheduling conflicts with the Apple drama, which also stars Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell.
      While Billy has left, Maribel Verdu has been cast as Barry’s mother in the movie.
      The movie features Ezra Miller as The Flash / Barry Allen, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Ben Affleck as Batman, along with Michael Keaton also as Batman.

      Kiersey Clemons has recently joined the cast as Iris West, who is set to be a romantic interest of The Flash.
      Meanwhile, four years ago Billy revealed he was unsure of when production would start, due to Ezra’s hectic schedule.
      When asked if he knew when “The Flash” would start filming, Billy said, “I don’t. It’s unclear at the moment. I think, Ezra’s schedule … Ezra’s a busy man, he’s very popular and excellent.”
      And it wasn’t just the busy schedule of Ezra that had a hand in delaying the movie, as the production suffered another setback when the movie’s director Rick Famuyiwa – who had been brought in to replace Seth Grahame-Smith – quit due to creative differences between himself and Warner Bros. studios.
      Andy Muschietti is now directing the movie, from a script written by Christina Hodson.

      Wesley Snipes Jokes on Failure to Be Part of 'Coming to America' Cast: It Still Hurts

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The ‘Blade’ star lost the role of hair care products heir Darryl Jenks to ‘ER’ actor Eriq La Salle for the 1988 movie classic, but has since redeemed himself by nailing General Izzi in ‘Coming 2 America’.

      Mar 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Wesley Snipes is thrilled he finally got the chance to co-star with Eddie Murphy in his “Coming to America” sequel after missing out on a supporting role in the original comedy.
      The “Blade” star auditioned for the part of hair care products heir Darryl Jenks in the 1988 movie classic, but lost out to “ER” actor Eriq La Salle, who was cast as Lisa McDowell’s ex-boyfriend, and faced off as Murphy’s onscreen love rival.
      “It still hurts, it’s [a] very sensitive thing…!” Snipes joked on U.S. talk show “The View”. “But that’s the crazy part of it because you never know what your journey’s going to be, and where you end up down the river when you’re in that river of opportunity.”
      “But if you stick around long enough, opportunity and blessings come by… I finally got to work with Eddie, again.”

      The pair had also teamed up in 2018 for Netflix film “Dolemite Is My Name”, but starring as General Izzi in the new “Coming 2 America” release was a real blast, because in addition to returning stars Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, and Shari Headley, he also got to hang out with Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones, and Teyana Taylor.
      “Cheeks hurting and belly aching on the regular,” he shared about his experience on set, as he revealed he’s a big fan of former “Saturday Night Live” regular Jones, “And you know, that Leslie, she’s something else, she’s a force of nature! I had a fantastic time on this…”
      In another interview, Snipes opened up how he really feels about finally landing a role in “Coming” sequel. To Daily News, the 58-year-old admitted, “I’m giddy as a pig at Fatburger. I’m telling you, I’m happy. I wanted to be a part of that so bad, and James Earl Jones was in the original. For us theater thespians, he was an icon.”
