      Report: Ryan Reynolds Furious Over Disney's Censorship on 'Deadpool 3'

      by

      20th Century Fox

      Though the Mouse House has previously committed to make an R-rated ‘Deadpool 2’ sequel, the studio is reportedly still trying to push a PG-13 threequel on Reynolds.

      Mar 5, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds and Disney have a fallout, if a new report to be trusted. The Canadian actor is allegedly not happy with the Mouse House for putting censorship on his planned upcoming project “Deadpool 3”.
      According to GeekTyrant, a source who works on the Fox Studios lot says Reynolds has “had it with Disney and doesn’t want to have anything to do with them.” As for what has angered the Merc with the Mouth depicter, it is said that the husband of Blake Lively is tired of the Disney “censorship bulls**t.”
      Though Disney previously announced that it has committed to make an R-rated “Deadpool 3”, the studio is reportedly still trying to push a PG-13 “Deadpool” movie and now Reynolds is reportedly saying “enough is enough.”

      While neither Disney nor Reynolds has commented on the report of their supposed fallout, the site cites Popcorned Planet as another movie news platform which corroborates its story. It additionally reports that Reynolds’s Deadpool is supposed to “fill in the Stan Lee cameos in the Marvel movies from now on.”
      Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed in January that “Deadpool 3” would be an R-rated movie. “It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now,” he said in an interview with Collider.
      Reynolds later joked that he duped Disney into giving the greenlight by showing the bosses other Marvel movies. “I showed them Spiderman 1 & 2 and told them it was Deadpool 1 & 2,” he tweeted at the time.
      Later in the same month, he claimed that the threequel was supposed to be a road trip movie with Logan a.k.a. Wolverine. “Before Disney bought Fox, Deadpool 3 was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real,” he wrote on Twitter, referring to “Rashomon”, a 1950 Japanese psychological thriller/crime film directed by Akira Kurosawa.

      Alex Pettyfer to Bring Late John Bindon Back to Life in 'The Chelsea Cowboy'

      by

      WENN

      The new biopic, which will be helmed by ‘Waiting for Anya’ director Ben Cookson, will chronicle the British actor’s rise from his rough childhood to his life as an actor and lothario.

      Mar 5, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actor Alex Pettyfer is stepping into the shoes of British actor and tough guy John Bindon for a new biopic.
      The “Magic Mike” star has been tapped to lead “The Chelsea Cowboy”, which will chronicle Bindon’s rise from his rough childhood to his life as an actor and lothario, who enjoyed romances with former Playboy model Serena Williams and actress/model Vicki Hodge, as well as an alleged dalliance with Princess Margaret at her Caribbean retreat.
      The “Get Carter” hardman was also famously hired to provide security for rockers Led Zeppelin on their U.S. tour in 1977, but he was fired for fighting backstage, and just a year later, his ties to the criminal underground led to his 1978 trial for the murder of London gangster Johnny Darke.
      He was acquitted after claiming self-defense, but the legal drama damaged his reputation as an actor and he became a recluse, before dying from cancer in 1993, aged 50.

      “Waiting for Anya” director Ben Cookson will shoot the project, which has been written by Leon Butler.
      In a statement to Deadline, Cookson said, “I am delighted to have Alex onboard and more than excited to see what he brings to the role of John Bindon – a complex, artistic yet brutal, loveable-rogue who charmed paupers and princesses alike in London’s vibrant sixties and seventies.”
      Pettyfer himself has shared his excitement over his casting through an Instagram post. Sharing a screenshot of Deadline’s report on his involvement, the 30-year-old wrote in the caption, “Very Excited to be filming this one later this year back in [Great Britain] I can promise you all this one is gonna be a wild ride!!! Check out my stories to read the full article.”

      Production is set to begin in September 2021.

      Eddie Murphy Says 'Terminator' Inspired Him to Make 'Coming 2 America'

      by

      Amazon Studios/Paramount Pictures

      ‘The Nutty Professor’ star recalls how he got an idea for the sequel to his 1988 comedy after watching Arnold Schwarzenegger de-age in a scene in the ‘Terminator’ movie.

      Mar 5, 2021
      AceShowbiz – As unlikely as it sounds, “Coming 2 America” was partly inspired by a “Terminator” movie. Ahead of the release of the comedy sequel, Eddie Murphy has revealed how he got an idea for the follow-up to 1988’s “Coming to America” after watching Arnold Schwarzenegger de-age in a scene in one of the movies from the sci-fi action film franchise around six years ago.
      “You know what happened, I was watching, one of those ‘Terminator’ movies with Schwarzenegger and they used the special effect where they made him really young,” Murphy tells Yahoo Entertainment. “I was like, ‘If they did that, we could do a scene where we’re young’ … and that was the piece that made it all sort of fall into place.” The comedian was likely referring to 2016’s “Terminator: Genisys”.
      Prior to that, Murphy never thought about making a sequel to “Coming to America” despite fans’ wish for one. “When we finished the original ‘Coming to America’, it ended on ‘they live happily ever after,’ so we never thought about doing a sequel,” he admits. “You know, usually sequels come a year or after the original movie, so we never thought about it.”

        See also…

      “But then ‘Coming to America’ became part of the culture, and little lines from the movie, and catchphrases like ‘Sexual Chocolate’ [took off], and people dress up as the characters [for Halloween]. It just stayed around,” he explains how the movie stays relevant after more than 30 years.
      “Coming 2 America” did use CGI for a scene that features de-aged Murphy and Arsenio Hall. The said scene is a flashback to the time Akeem and Semmi visited a club in search of a bride-to-be for the former. There, they met the overzealous Mary Junson (Leslie Jones), who introduced Akeem to weed shortly before their one-night stand.
      The CGI apart, Murphy and Hall still had to spend hours in the makeup chairs to reprise their other characters, including the barbershop’s Morris, Saul and Clarence, the Rev. Brown and fan-favorite Randy Watson. “It’s the same exact long, drawn-out, five hours in the makeup process,” Murphy says of the transformation process. “That didn’t get any easier.”
      “Coming 2 America” is now available for stream on Amazon Prime Video.

      Janet Jackson Documentary In the Works for 2022

      by

      WENN

      A major four-hour project, which is tentatively called ‘Janet’, is reportedly being developed to chronicle the life and career of the ‘Rhythm Nation’ singer.

      Mar 5, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Janet Jackson is the latest pop superstar to get the documentary treatment – Lifetime and A&E bosses in the U.S. will simulcast a new four-hour film across two nights in 2022.
      The movie, tentatively titled “Janet”, will hit the small screen to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Jackson’s debut album.
      The documentary will chronicle her “musical success as well as her tumultuous private life,” according to a press release, and the reclusive star will discuss her controversial 2004 Super Bowl appearance with Justin Timberlake, when she flashed a breast, and the death of her brother, Michael.
      Deadline sources claim bosses at British production company Workerbee have been filming Jackson for over three years and have been granted exclusive access to archival footage, which will appear in the film.

      Meanwhile, Justin recently apologized to Janet and former girlfriend Britney Spears for “failing” in his treatment of both women in the past.
      It was the NSYNC star who ripped off part of Janet’s corset, causing her boob to be exposed at the Super Bowl. He, however, distanced himself from the incident, leaving Janet to bear the brunt of the fallout which has plagued her career ever since.
      “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,” he said. “I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.”
      Janet hasn’t responded to his apology. Instead, she addressed her fans by thanking them for their support as her album “Control” was back at the top of the chart after 35 years.

      Mar 4, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan goes full action movie hero in the first official trailer of “Without Remorse”. Set in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe, the original movie from Amazon Studios follows the “Creed” star’s John Kelly (a.k.a. John Clark), a highly-effective soldier who goes on a vendetta after his wife was killed in an attack that also targeted him.
      While he survived the assassination attempt, Jordan’s character couldn’t help holding grudge. “They took everything from me,” he says in the trailer. “I’m gonna make it right.” Set by the rage, John seeks to avenge the death of his loved one only to find himself inside a larger conspiracy.
      According to the official synopsis, “Without Remorse” tells the origin story of “John Kelly (a.k.a. John Clark), a U.S. Navy SEAL, who uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. When Kelly joins forces with fellow SEAL Karen Greer and shadowy CIA agent Robert Ritter, the mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war.”
