      Feb 26, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Queen and Margaret Thatcher are teaming up for a new film.

      Ariella Glaser and Orlando Schwerdt will play the film’s leads, while Bryce Gheisar is set to reprise his role as bully Julian from “Wonder”, which was based on a New York Times bestseller about a boy with facial differences.

      Production on the new film has already begun in Eastern Europe, according to Deadline, with Marc Forster in the director’s chair.

      [embedded content]

      Directed by Zack Snyder, the upcoming original Netflix movie is described as ‘a full-blown, balls-to-the-wall zombie heist movie’ that offers ‘genre-on-genre in a great way.’

      Feb 26, 2021
      AceShowbiz – There have been a bunch of zombie apocalypse movies and TV series, but “Army of the Dead” appears to offer a different take on the horror story. The first official teaser trailer for the upcoming film has been released by Netflix, giving a glimpse of somewhat glamorous setting amid epic chaotic scenes.
      According to the official logline, the movie is about a group of mercenaries who take the ultimate gamble, venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted following a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas.
      The sneak-peek video hints that the story takes place at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, as there’s still a sense of normality left before a horde of zombies attacks people at the casino. The glam look of gamblers and entertainers soon turns into a war zone as there are huge explosions and shots coming from everywhere.

      From Zack Snyder, the man behind “Man of Steel”, “Dawn of the Dead” and the upcoming “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, “Army of the Dead” is described as a zombie heist film. It stars Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Matthias Schweighofer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Raul Castillo, Michael Cassidy and Garret Dillahunt among others, with the screenplay being written by Snyder, Shay Hatten and Joby Harold.
      “It is a full-blown, balls-to-the-wall zombie heist movie, so it’s genre-on-genre in a great way,” Snyder recently told Entertainment Weekly of the movie. “So you expect pure zombie mayhem, and you get that, 100 percent. But also you get these really amazing characters on a fantastic journey. It’s going to surprise people that there’s a lot of warmth and real emotion with these great characters.”
      The project was initially developed at Warner Bros., which passed on it before it’s picked up Netflix. The streamer has shown a vote of confidence in “Army of the Dead”, as it is set to produce “Army of the Dead: The Prequel”, a German-American co-production directed and starring Matthias Schweighofer. It is also planning on developing an anime-style TV series, “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas”, which will see several of the characters from the main film reprising their roles.

      Color of Change Calls for End of Support for Golden Globes Amid Corruption and Bullying Allegations

      by

      https://www.goldenglobes.com/

      Calling the allegations against the HFPA ‘egregious,’ Color of Change president Rashad Robinson urges networks to hold their support for an awards show that is ‘rigged.’

      Feb 26, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The upcoming 2021 Golden Globe Awards has been plagued with serious accusations of corruption, bullying and self-dealing. Just days leading to the 78th annual award-giving event, there is a call for an end of support for the show, which is often dubbed one of the most prestigious events in Hollywood.
      Color of Change president Rashad Robinson is the one speaking on the alleged problems within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which presents the Golden Globes. Noticing how big the impact of winning a Golden Globe is, he tells Yahoo Finance, “Those doors that get closed [by not winning a Golden Globe award] are economic doors, are doors to greater opportunities. Are doors where people can then build businesses for the future and so that is why this is so important. That’s why these allegations are so egregious, because the role that the Golden Globes had in being able to be sort of this door opener, should be questioned.”
      Robinson also addresses criticism directed at the HFPA for not giving black people and their works more recognition. “There are black creatives who did get nominated this year that we should be celebrating and uplifting,” he claims. “The Golden Globes director category is more diverse from a gender perspective, I believe, than ever before. So there are some things that we should sort of make sure that we don’t throw out.”

        See also…

      Hoping for a change, he suggests how people should take action in the matter, “If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is not willing to sort of interrogate their rules, deal with the leadership challenges they have, then they don’t deserve our support anymore.”
      “The networks that run them should question whether or not they’re running a system, an awards show that is rigged, or has these types of violations,” Robinson adds. “We would hold our support or we would push back on other big events if we thought that they were rigged, right?”
      The L.A. Times first came up with the allegations against the HFPA. In its report based on its investigation, the paper claimed the organization is “struggling to shake its reputation as a group whose awards or nominations can be influenced with expensive junkets and publicity swag,” putting the legitimacy of Golden Globes in question.
      The 2021 Golden Globe Awards is set to take place on Sunday, February 28, with Tina Fey co-hosting from the Rainbow Room in New York City, and Amy Poehler co-hosting from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

      Brett Ratner's Milli Vanilli Biopic Gets Canned Following Outcry Over His Misconduct Allegations

      by

      WENN

      The upcoming true-story movie about infamous singing duo Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus has been dropped amid backlash over the director’s comeback plan.

      Feb 26, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Brett Ratner’s Milli Vanilli biopic has reportedly been dropped by bosses at production company Millennium Media following an outcry over the director’s comeback.
      The film about the controversial lip-syncing duo is set to be Ratner’s first directorial effort since he was accused of sexual harassment, misconduct, and assault by six women in 2017.
      Ratner denied all allegations at the time, but activists at women’s rights group Time’s Up last week (ends19Feb21) argued he shouldn’t be working in Hollywood, and it appears the backlash has prompted Millennium Media partners to scrap plans to work with him.
      Following the film announcement, Times’s Up president and CEO Tina Tchen said, “TIME’S UP was born out of the national reckoning on workplace sexual harassment. Our movement is a product of countless courageous acts by many survivors, including those who spoke out about what they endured at the hands of Brett Ratner.”

      “Not only did Ratner never acknowledge or apologize for the harm he caused, but he also filed lawsuits in an attempt to silence the voices of survivors who came forward… You don’t get to go away for a couple years and then resurface and act like nothing happened. We have not – and will not – forget. And Millennium Media shouldn’t either. There should be no comeback.”
      Representatives for Brett Ratner and Millennium Media have yet to respond to the story.
      The filmmaker last stepped behind the camera to direct Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s 2014 movie “Hercules”.
      Meanwhile, the Milli Vanilli project about the famous singing duo comprised of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus who then were exposed to be frauds has been in development since 2007.

      'Spider-Man 3' Newly-Unveiled Title Leaves Fans in Disbelief

      by

      Marvel Studios

      Many refuse to believe that the title announced by Marvel is real, after Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon trolled fans with several hilarious fake titles.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Has Marvel finally given away the title of the third Spider-Man movie? Through a new sneak peek released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, the studio has announced that the upcoming film is called “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, but many seem to doubt the truth of it.
      After teasing fans with fake hilarious titles of “Spider-Man 3”, Marvel unleashed a video on Wednesday, February 24 in which Tom Holland, Zendaya Coleman and Jacob Batalon complain about being fooled by director Jon Watts about the previous titles they shared.
      The trio then walk past a white board on which the crew appear to write all possible subtitles for the movie, which all include the word “home.” While the likes of “Can’t Find Home”, “Stay at Home” and “Work From Home” are crossed, “No Way Home” appears to be the chosen one and re-written in the middle of the board.
      In the caption of the video posted on YouTube and Instagram, it is claimed, “This, we can confirm. #SpiderManNoWayHome only in movie theaters this Christmas.”

      Still, considering the way they unveiled the title and the previous fake titles, fans think this could also be a joke. “I FEEL LIKE YALL LYING,” one fan commented below the video with loudly crying face emojis. “i have trust issues now,” another similarly shared. A third one wondered, “is this still a joke i’m unsure.” Someone else enthused, “I dont know what to believe anymore.”
      If this is any assurance, the movie’s official Instagram and Twitter accounts have made some adjustment, with “Spider-Man: No Way Home” now being written on the profile. IMBD also lists the movie with its newly-unveiled title.
      While many were focused on the title, some other fans noticed a possible “WandaVision” reference in the sneak peek. The white board has key diagrams, including multiple hexagons, which led many to believe that it’s a reference to Wanda’s (Elizabeth Olsen) “Hex bubble.” “Hex bubble” itself is the sitcom-based reality she’s created in “WandaVision”.
      “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is slated to open in theaters across the nation on December 21.

      Sacha Baron Cohen Rules Out Third 'Borat' Movie Because It's 'Too Dangerous'

      by

      Amazon Studios

      The ‘Trial of the Chicago 7’ actor has no plan to make a follow-up to ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’ because filming the prank scenes has become ‘too dangerous.’

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Sacha Baron Cohen has ruled out the possibility of reprising his role as Borat for a third film, insisting he’s done with “dangerous” disguise movies.
      The comedian debuted his Kazakhstani alter-ego in “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” in 2006 before releasing the sequel “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” last year (20). However, there won’t be another follow-up film in the franchise, as he told Entertainment Tonight that shooting the movies has become “too dangerous.”

        See also…

      “For Borat, there were a couple of times I had to put on a bulletproof vest to go and shoot a scene, and you don’t want to do that too many times in your life,” he explained. “I was pretty lucky to get out this time, so no, I’m not doing it again. I’m going to stay with the scripted stuff.”
      Cohen’s “Trial of the Chicago 7” co-star Eddie Redmayne then chimed in to ask how he managed to sleep before shooting such a dangerous scene – such as when Borat attended a far-right, anti-lockdown rally – to which the actor replied that he “doesn’t.”
      “The night before something like that – that rally – you’re trying to go through everything that can go wrong,” he said. “In a normal scene like what we’re doing, we’re trying to make sure, ‘How do I make sure my performance is real? Have I done my research? How do I make sure the accent’s perfect?’ In this one you’re going, ‘OK, if a bunch of guys with guns come from that side of the stage, have I got a way to get out? What happens if someone shoots me? What if a bunch of people start shooting me?’ ”

      Charlize Theron Keen to Make Lesbian 'Die Hard' Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ actress says she would jump at the chance of revamping the classic Bruce Willis action movie by playing a lesbian lead character.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Charlize Theron wants to give “Die Hard” a femme fatale twist.
      The actress, who has proved herself as an action star in films like “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “The Old Guard”, is up for revamping the Bruce Willis classic with her as a lesbian lead.
      She made the pitch in response to one fan who tweeted, “Lesbian Christmas rom coms are all well and good but what I REALLY want is a Die Hard where Charlize Theron goes on a rampage to save her wife.”
      Theron retweeted the note and added, “Where do I sign?”
      She has referred to the Twitter exchange in a new Vanity Fair interview, stating, “It’s a great idea. That’s why I replied on Twitter, because I just thought it was kind of brilliant. I was like, ‘This person needs to start pitching. That’s a great idea’, and the fact it would be two women, I was like, ‘Yeah, sign me on.’ ”

        See also…

      During the magazine interview, the actress also reflected on the events of the past year. She’s hopeful the “pain and suffering” of 2020 would help people realise that “we can’t keep going on this way.”
      Asked what has made her the angriest and what gave her hope from the past year, she replied, “It’s hard to try to quantify what, amongst the horrible events that we’ve had in this last year, are the worst.”
      “They are all pretty f**king sh**ty. Dealing with a virus and the amount of human loss that we’ve had – that’s pretty f**king s**tty. The pain and the suffering that I have seen my friends of colour go through during this period… I mean, I’m hoping it’s an awakening.”
      And referring to the riots at the Capitol in January, Charlize commented that it was “all pretty f**king sad.”
      “The only thing that makes me feel like I can think of the glass as half full, instead of half empty, is that I’m hoping that out of a lot of this really deep, deep, deep pain and suffering, we will come to realise that we can’t keep going this way,” she sighed.
