      Robin Wright Gets Emotional Upon Learning About Jill Biden's Reaction to Her Directorial Debut Film

      by

      Instagram

      During her appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, the ‘Land’ star is shown a clip from the White House interview the talk show host had with the new First Lady.

      Mar 3, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Robin Wright’s (previously Robin Wright Penn) movie directorial debut has been given a big thumbs up by America’s new First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.
      The “Forrest Gump” star appeared on Kelly Clarkson’s U.S. talk show days after Biden was interviewed by the pop star last week (ends February 26), and revealed she and her husband, Joe Biden, had watched the actress’ new film, “Land”.
      In a clip from the White House chat Clarkson played for her guest, Biden said, “She (Wright’s character) goes out into the wilderness and survives. It’s a beautiful movie. You should see it.”
      Thrilled Robin responded, “That makes me wanna cry. That’s amazing. I mean, what they’ve been through and that it’s such a hopeful end to the movie… I hope it hugged their heart.”

        See also…

      Wright briefly met Biden once at an event and added, “What an incredible woman.”
      “Land” is based on the original screenplay by Jesse Chatham and Golden Globe nominee Liz Hannah. Premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, it also saw Demian Bichir and Kim Dickens starring opposite Wright.
      The drama film follows Wright’s character, Edee Mathis, as she goes off the grid and tests her survival skills by living in a cabin in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. With the help of a Native American, she begins to confront her demons and surprises herself with her own will to survive.
      Ass for her experience filming the movie, Wright opened up about the challenge that shocked her the most. “It was stomaching the skinning of the animal. And I eat meat,” the actress told USA Today. “But I just – I don’t want to see that. You don’t think it’s going to shock you. And it does.”
      “I mean, you couldn’t have a more distant comparison between what it was like shooting ‘House of Cards’ to shooting and directing ‘Land’. (For ‘House of Cards’) we were on a stage outside of Baltimore for six years on sets in an airplane hangar,” she explained. “This was a completely different beast because you’re dealing with nature.”

      Oprah Winfrey Unveiled Among Those Fooled by Eddie Murphy's Disguise in 'Coming to America'

      by

      WENN/Mario Mitsis/Instar

      When speaking to late night host Jimmy Kimmel, the ‘Coming 2 America’ star praises special effects maestro Rick Baker for transforming him and Arsenio Hall into their hilarious barbershop characters.

      Mar 3, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Oprah Winfrey had no idea Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall were the actors behind the hilarious barbershop characters in their classic comedy “Coming to America”.
      The funnymen wore heavy prosthetics to tackle a variety of parts, in addition to their lead roles, in the 1988 original, and they returned to the makeup chair once more to reprise the beloved characters for the long-awaited sequel, “Coming 2 America”.
      “A lot of people don’t know that’s us in those makeups,” Murphy told late night host Jimmy Kimmel on Monday, March 01, revealing media mogul Oprah was one of them.
      “Last week, I was doing another interview with Oprah and… I said something about the barbershop [scenes] – and I’m that Jewish man – and she was like, ‘What do you mean, you’re the Jewish man?'”
      “I said, ‘Oh yeah, I’m the old Jewish guy in the barbershop,’ [and] she was like, ‘What?!’ She couldn’t believe it. And she’s seen the original ‘Coming to America’ and [its sequel] and all this time didn’t know.”
      [embedded content]

        See also…

      Murphy insists he doesn’t blame Oprah for missing that detail for so many years, because the prosthetics were the work of special effects maestro Rick Baker, who made them look so realistic, the former “Saturday Night Live” star once even scored the number of an elderly lady while in disguise.
      “Those makeups are amazing,” he said. “Originally they were designed by Rick Baker – the genius – and those makeups… it’s like, I can go talk to you and you won’t know that it’s a makeup. It’s amazing.”
      Hall, who was also present for the interview, recalled, “Eddie hit on an old lady once. Rick Baker let us walk around, he said, ‘Just try it out, move your face, you’ll see how it works,’ and we went out… and then [Eddie] got an old lady’s phone number! She thought he was a real old dude!”
      And although the old pals had a blast donning the heavy cosmetics to bring the barbershop crew back to life onscreen for “Coming 2 America”, Murphy insists there will never be a spin-off – because the process is simply too time-consuming.
      Asked if they’d ever consider such a project, Murphy quickly responded, “Oh no, it takes six hours to do those makeups.”
      “To do a whole movie? A movie takes three months to do, [so] to do a whole movie with those people would take like, a year to make the movie.”
      But Murphy’s reasoning didn’t deter Kimmel, who quipped, “I see that as your problem and not ours!”

      Alice Eve Leads Horror 'Queen Mary' and Ariana Greenblatt Joins Game Adaptation 'Borderlands'

      by

      WENN/Instagram

      The ‘Iron Fist’ actress has been cast for an upcoming horror movie while the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has been added to a big-screen take on a popular video game.

      Mar 3, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Alice Eve is to star in horror movie “The Queen Mary”.
      The 39-year-old actress has boarded the flick which is being directed by Gary Shore from a script he has written with Stephen Oliver and Tom Vaughan. It is hoped the project will be the first of a planned trilogy.
      Plot details on the film are being kept under wraps but it is inspired by tales of haunting on the famed ocean liner that is now permanently docked in California. The multi-storied ship receives two million visitors per year and was named Time magazine’s most haunted place in the world.
      Mali Elfman is producing the movie alongside Mark Tomberlin and Jordan Rambis who are executive producing for Imagination Design Works.
      In a statement, Tomberlin said, “We were immediately obsessed with Gary’s intelligent and twisted multi-film take on a great American legend and could not be more excited working with an extremely gifted actor in bringing this story to audiences around the world.”
      Alice’s previous credits include the TV series “Belgravia” and she is currently shooting “The Power” for Amazon Studios.
      Meanwhile, Ariana Greenblatt has joined the cast of “Borderlands”.

        See also…

      The 13-year-old actress – who appeared as young Gamora in “Avengers: Infinity War” – has been signed up to play Tiny Tina in director Eli Roth’s upcoming big screen video game blockbuster adaptation.
      “Ariana is a spectacular new talent in cinema,” the filmmaker said. “She has already worked with many of my close collaborators and everyone raves about her. She blew us all away in her audition, and I cannot wait to see her bring the wild, insane and unpredictable Tiny Tina to the big screen.”
      “She’s going to blow up onscreen like one of Tina’s grenades.”
      In the game franchise, the explosives expert’s parents were sold to Hyperion as guinea pigs for genetic experiments, which cost them their lives.
      Once Tiny Tina – who was introduced in “Borderlands 2” – has escaped Hyperion’s reach, she decided to get revenge on Flesh-Stick, who is the man who sold her family.
      The film is set in the future when four “vault hunters” travel to the planet Pandora on a mission to hunt down an alien vault said to contain advanced technology.
      Greenblatt – who is also set to appear in the likes of “65”, “In the Heights”, and “Awake” – will be part of a stellar cast, with Lionsgate assembling an all-star line-up for the big budget movie.
      Cate Blanchett is lined up to play thief Lilith while “Jumanji” co-stars Kevin Hart and Jack Black reunite as soldier Roland and sarcastic robot Claptrap, and Jamie Lee Curtis has been cast as archaeologist Tannis.

      'The Blacksmith' Shooting Delay Forced Nick Jonas to Bow Out of Leading Role

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ star initially signed up to play weapons expert Wes Loomis, a.k.a. The Blacksmith, in the big screen adaptation project from ‘Taken’ director Pierre Morel.

      Mar 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Singer/actor Nick Jonas has bowed out of upcoming action thriller “The Blacksmith”.
      The “Jumanji: The Next Level” star initially signed up to play weapons expert Wes Loomis, aka The Blacksmith, in the big screen adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name last spring (2020), in the hopes of filming in Toronto, Canada later that year.
      However, his busy schedule forced producers at AGC Studios to delay the shoot, and now Jonas has had to step down from the leading role in “Taken” director Pierre Morel’s new project.

        See also…

      “Nick, as you can imagine, has a lot of other commitments, with his acting and his music,” AGC CEO Stuart Ford explains to The Hollywood Reporter.
      “Under normal circumstances, he could fly in and out, go to do things over the weekend, and come back to set Monday. But in a COVID environment, that doesn’t work. He’d have to stay in the same place for three months. With a star like Nick Jonas, it became borderline impossible to make the schedule work.”
      Ford insists AGC executives and Jonas have “parted ways, amicably”, and they are now looking for a replacement to co-star with Laurence Fishburne as Loomis’ mentor.
      ” ‘The Blacksmith’ provides a fresh, highly contemporary new take on the espionage genre and it’s exciting to pair an exhilarating young talent like Nick with seasoned heavyweights such as Pierre and Laurence,” Stuart Ford of financiers and producers AGC Studios explained. “We’ll soon be announcing an equally outstanding young female actor to play across from Nick and then we will have all the ingredients for a major new film franchise built around a very modern breed of action hero.”

      Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth Spotted on 'Thor: Love and Thunder' Set for First Time

      by

      Marvel Studios

      The roles of Damon and the older Hemsworth brother are likely uncovered as both of them have been pictured joining the production of the Marvel movie in Sydney, Australia.

      Mar 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The first pictures of Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth on the set of “Thor: Love and Thunder” have surfaced online, confirming reports that they will be making cameos in the upcoming Marvel movie. Both actors were spotted filming for the upcoming installment of the Thor film series in Sydney, Australia.
      The photos obtained by paparazzi are also believed to have potentially given away Damon and Hemsworth’s roles. They previously portrayed Asgardian actors who played Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in “Thor: Ragnarok” and it appears that they’re reprising the same roles.
      In the grainy images, Damon and the old Hemsworth brother were seen wearing the same clothes that were sported by Loki and Thor in “Thor: Ragnarok” scene, during which their father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) died. It seems that they will be acting out the death of the Allfather.
      Supporting the speculation about Damon and Hemsworth’s cameos, other set pictures showed the movie’s crew building what looks like an outdoor amphitheater, where Damon and Hemsworth’s characters could perform. Sam Neill, meanwhile, has been rumored to reprise his role as an actor playing Odin.

      Damon first hinted at his return for “Thor: Love and Thunder” after he announced in January of this year that he’s taking his family Down Under. “I’m so excited that my family and I will be able to call Australia home for the next few months,” he said in a statement to local press, as quoted by CNET, at the time.
      Confirming that he’s in Aussie for a movie project, he added in the statement, “Australian film crews are world-renowned for their professionalism and are a joy to work with so the 14 days of quarantine will be well worth it.”
      Other actors, including Natalie Portman, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and Tessa Thompson, had all been quarantining before they joined the cast and crew on the set. The Hemsworth brothers, meanwhile, have been living in Australia with their families.
      “Thor: Ragnarok” is directed by Taiki Waititi and is slated for a May 6, 2022 release in the United States.

      Tracy Morgan Jokes About Pizza When Apologizing for 'Soul' Slip-Up at 2021 Golden Globes

      by

      Instagram

      The former ’30 Rock’ star mispronounced the one-syllable title when taking to the stage at the annual awards ceremony to present the Best Original Score – Motion Picture trophy to the Pixar film.

      Mar 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tracy Morgan has issued an apology after mispronouncing the one-syllable film title “Soul” during the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night (February 28).
      The “30 Rock” star took to the stage at the annual awards ceremony to present the gong for Best Original Score – Motion Picture to the Pixar film.
      However, Morgan accidentally called the film “Sal”, before doing a double-take at the winning name and chuckling to himself as he correctly said, “Soul”.

      Following the error, which quickly went viral on social media, Morgan took to Twitter to apologise for his mistake.
      “Sorry SOUL. I was thinking about the pizza I was going to get from my guy SAL on the way home!!” he hilariously wrote.

      Looking tired and wearing a tie-dye hoodie that vastly contrasted with the rest of his peers’ smart suits and ensembles, Jason began his acceptance speech by saying, “Wow, alright! Can I talk now? That’s nuts. Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press. To me, this is the coolest thing …. That’s nuts. That’s crazy.”
      [embedded content]
      He continued to make less sense as his speech went on, prompting fellow nominee Don Cheadle to mime the “wrap it up” finger gesture.
      “And Don’s right, I need to wrap this puppy up, never been my forte,” Sudeikis grinned. “Thank you, I appreciate you guys, and shout-out to my fellow nominees.”
