      by

      WENN

      The ‘Selma’ director and the ‘Watchmen’ actress suggest the fact that the Golden Globe organizers have no black members has been widely known for a long time.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has confirmed they don’t have any black members.
      Following an investigation by the Los Angeles Times into the make-up of the group – who nominate and select the winners of the annual Golden Globe awards – the HFPA told the newspaper that the report is true, but it’s an issue they’re “committed to addressing.” They gave no indication as to how they would be addressing their lack of diversity.
      The Los Angeles Times piece found that while some of the 87 members of the HFPA are people of colour, there are no black members.

      Reflecting on the findings of the investigation on Twitter, director Ava DuVernay – who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her movie “Selma” back in 2015 – wrote alongside a link to a Hollywood Reporter article about the news, “Reveals? As in, people are acting like this isn’t already widely known? For YEARS?”
      Meanwhile, Regina King – whose movie “One Night In Miami…” has seen her nominated for the Best Director gong at this year’s Globes – responded to DuVernay’s tweet with a picture of rapper Drake pointing into the camera with a smile on his face. DuVernay then replied using a GIF featuring the text “those are the facts.”
      The upcoming Golden Globe Awards will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
      Herman J. Mankiewicz biopic “Mank”, directed by David Fincher and fronted by Gary Oldman, led the movie nominations with six nods. Netflix’s hit royal drama series “The Crown” dominated the TV categories with a total of six mentions as well.

      Tom Holland Blames His Fit of Giggles for Failing 'Star Wars' Audition

      by

      Instagram

      Admitting that he was once vying for John Boyega’s role of Finn, the ‘Spider-Man’ star recalls losing his cool in front of casting directors while trying to act with a woman playing a drone.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland missed out on a role in “Star Wars” because he giggled all the way through his audition.
      The Brit was “four or five auditions in” for the part of Finn when he lost his cool in front of casting directors, while trying to act with a woman playing a drone.
      “I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her, and she was just a drone,” Tom tells Backstage. “So I was doing all of this, like, ‘We gotta get back to the ship!’ And she was going, ‘Bleep, bloop. bloop, bleep, bloop.’ ”
      “I just couldn’t stop laughing. I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they’re called. I obviously didn’t get the part. That wasn’t my best moment.”

      John Boyega eventually landed the role of Finn.
      Holland, who went on to land the role of Spider-Man, admits the “Star Wars” audition wasn’t his only nightmare try-out.
      “I’ve read the wrong lines at the wrong audition before,” Tom shares.
      In the same interview, Holland admits he used to pull a little trick to draw more attention from casting directors during his early days of audition. “I would get something really wrong in the first take in the room, so that the casting director would be like, ‘You should try and do it a little bit more like this.’ And then I would do it how I’d actually planned on doing it, and it would show them that I was really good at taking direction,” he reacalls. “That’s a little trick that I used to do, just to kind of show people that I was malleable and able to work with others.”

      'Spider-Man 3' Stars Unveil First Official Photos, Tease Fans With Hilarious Possible Titles

      by

      Columbia Pictures

      While Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon confuse fans with the so-claimed titles of the upcoming movie, the first-look pics fuel speculation about rumored ‘Doctor Strange’ crossover.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Spider-Man 3” still has months to go before it’s completed in post-production, but the first official pictures have been uncovered to tide fans over the movie’s winter release. Making their way out via the cast’s social media accounts, they also came with possible titles of the film.
      Tom Holland, Zendaya Coleman and Jacob Batalon made use of their Instagram pages to share a pic of the movie and a title treatment each. The images show their characters, Peter Parker, MJ and Ned, entering a sort of basement of what looks like an old building. In one of the photos, Ned is seen working in front of his laptop with his two friends standing next to him and looking at his laptop screen.

      While the three images are similar to each other and appear to be taken on the same set, it’s not the case with the title treatments. Each of them reveals different title, “Spider-Man: Phone Home”, “Spider-Man: Home Slice” and “Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker”, which the stars all claimed to be the official title of the movie.

      “So excited to announce the new Spider-Man title. Can’t wait for you lot to see what we have been up to. Love from Atlanta,” Holland captioned his post. Zendaya wrote on her own, “So excited to announce the new Spider-Man title. So proud of this one…FOS is back!” Batalon, meanwhile, declared, “We’re so excited to share the TITLE of our new movie!! Swipe right for the big reveal!! also enjoy this exclusive still from the movie, just an extra gift from us.”

        See also…

      The hilarious possible titles aside, the photos have fueled the speculation about a possible “Doctor Strange” crossover. Fans have been guessing if the images show the three “Spider-Man” characters in the Sanctum Sanctorum, which has served as the personal residence of Doctor Strange.
      In related news, Holland appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday night, February 23 to talk about his upcoming movies, including “Spider-Man 3”. He managed to keep tight-lipped and avoid to spoil any secrets from the movie during his virtual interview with Jimmy Fallon.
      “It would be a miracle if they could have kept that from me,” he said when asked whether Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would have cameos in the movie, though he admitted that he’s obviously read the script from beginning to end.
      The British actor, however, confirmed that his brother Harry Holland has a cameo in the movie, which came about after he played the part of a drug dealing “shaker kid” in “Cherry”. “We kind of had this idea that in every film I would be in, Harry would reprise his role as the shaker kid,” he spilled. “So he is back again in his own sort of, MCU Cinematic Universe as the ecstasy dealing shaker kid.”

      The yet-to-be-titled third Spider-Man movie is set for December 17 release in the United States.

      Viggo Mortensen Kept Close Lid on Funding Issue During 'Falling' Production

      by

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      During a chat on the ‘Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard’ podcast, the ‘Lord of the Rings’ actor opens up about having just enough money to cover two weeks of filming for his directorial debut.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Viggo Mortensen kept the cast and crew of his directorial debut “Falling” in the dark about funding issues after starting production with just enough money to cover two weeks of filming.
      “The Lord of the Rings” actor stars in and directs the new drama, about a man learning to live with his ageing father as he battles dementia, and he reveals no one, apart from his fellow producers, knew that funding was so tight when they started the shoot.
      “Falling took me two, three times [of pitching] really to finally get enough money,” he shared on the “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” podcast.
      “When it came right down to it, I’d hoped for a seven week shoot, I ended up with five, and we started shooting knowing – or I knew, I didn’t tell the actors – that we had enough [money] for two weeks and we were gonna keep looking. You know, typical thing in movies.”
      Luckily, the rest of the funding came through just as the existing finances were running out.

      “Two weeks in, my co-producer came over to me and said…, ‘You can finish the movie… You can finish shooting’,” he recalled.
      “I said, ‘Of course I’m gonna finish shooting…, it’s going really well’. He goes, ‘No, no, you have the money’, and I go, ‘Oh, oh!’ I’d completely forgot. But sometimes you have to just go for it.”
      Mortensen, who also wrote the screenplay for “Falling”, admits he had been yearning to make his own movies for years, but they were never picked up.
      “It wasn’t for lack of trying,” he admitted of waiting to make his directorial debut. “First time I think I tried to get a movie made that I wanted to direct from a screenplay I’d written once; it was about 25 years ago. I’ve tried many times with different screenplays I’ve written over the years.”

      “Falling” also co-stars Laura Linney, Lance Henriksen, and Sverrir Gudnason.

      Robbie Williams Enlists 'The Greatest Showman' Helmer to Direct His Biopic

      by

      Instagram

      The former Take That member has found a director to step behind the lens for the upcoming movie ‘Better Man’ which is going to chronicle his life and career.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Greatest Showman” director Michael Gracey has signed on to direct a biopic about former Take That star Robbie Williams.
      The filmmaker co-wrote “Better Man” with first-time screenwriters Oliver Cole and Simon Gleeson, according to Deadline, and now the film, which will detail the pop superstar’s life and career highs and lows, including his substance abuse issues, has been given the go-ahead.
      Production is scheduled to begin this summer (21).
      Gracey tells Deadline he and Williams started talking about the film project shortly after the release of “The Greatest Showman”.

      “As for how we represent Robbie in the film, that bit is top secret,” the director says. “I want to do this in a really original way. I remember going to the cinema as a kid and there were films that blew me away and made me say as I sat there in the cinema, ‘I’ve never seen this before’. I just want the audience to have that feeling.”
      “It’s so important when they watch this story, and look at the screen, that they literally think, ‘I’ve never seen this before’. All I can say is the approach is top secret, but the goal is to generate that feeling I just described. It’s this fantastical story, and I want to represent it in its harsh reality all the way to these moments of pure fantasy.”
      Gracey, who refuses to confirm or deny if “Angels” singer Williams will appear in the film as himself, insists the movie will be nothing like recent hit biopics “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Rocketman”.
      “Unlike some people, who were born prodigies or musical geniuses and you follow the narrative of the world catching up to their brilliance, this isn’t that story,” Gracey adds. “Robbie is that everyman, who just dreamed big and followed those dreams and they took him to an incredible place.”
      “Because of that, his is an incredibly relatable story. He’s not the best singer, or dancer, and yet, he managed to sell 80 million records worldwide. You can relate to the guy who doesn’t see himself as having any extraordinary talent, even though of course, he does. What he did have is the will, vision and confidence to say, ‘I’m going to pursue my dream’. For us as an audience, it’s a window into the world, of, ‘What if we just went for it and chased that impossible dream that so many of us put to one side.’ ”

      Zack Snyder Not Getting Paid for 'Justice League' Director's Cut

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Dawn of the Dead’ director says he wasn’t paid for the upcoming ‘Justice League’ super cut as the filmmaker wanted creative control of his version.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Zack Snyder wasn’t paid for his director’s cut of “Justice League”.
      The filmmaker – whose own version of the 2017 comic book blockbuster is set to launch on HBO Max on 18 March (21) – was paid for his initial work on the project before stepping down as Joss Whedon took over, but he wanted creative control for the new release.
      “I’m not getting paid… I didn’t want to be beholden to anyone, and it allowed me to keep my negotiating powers with these people pretty strong,” he told Vanity Fair.
      Snyder has also revealed how Warner Bros. initially wanted the director’s cut version to be a case of releasing the raw footage on his laptop.
      However, he disagreed and pushed to be able to do his own vision justice rather than just putting out unedited material.

        See also…

      “I was like, ‘That’s a no, that’s a hard no.’ And they’re like, ‘But why? You can just put up the rough cut,’ ” he added.
      “I go, ‘Here’s why. Three reasons: One, you get the internet off your back, which is probably your main reason for wanting to do this. Two, you get to feel vindicated for making things right, I guess, on some level.’ ”
      ” ‘And then three, you get a s**tty version of the movie that you can point at and go, ‘See? It’s not that good anyway. So maybe I was right.’ I was like, ‘No chance.’ I would rather just have the Snyder cut be a mythical unicorn for all time.”
      Snyder has also admitted he couldn’t have done the movie in the way Whedon did and revealed he didn’t see his cut.
      “How am I supposed to introduce six characters and an alien with potential for world domination in two hours?” he argued. “I mean, I can do it, it can be done. Clearly it was done. But I didn’t see it.”

      Ryan Reynolds Flat-Out Denies Rumors of Green Lantern Cameo in Zack Snyder's 'Justice League'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Canadian star makes it clear that he has no interest in reprising his role as Hal Jordan while responding to a speculation that his appearance is the big surprise in store for the Snyder Cut.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds has shut down any hope of seeing him back as Green Lantern. The actor, who has several times poked fun at the commercial and critical failure of his 2011 DC movie, has flat-out denied rumors of his possible cameo as the green-costumed superhero in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”.
      “It’s not me. But what a cool pirate flag to cameo as Hal. Maybe it’s another GL?” the Canadian hunk tweeted on Monday, February 22. Making it clear that he has no interest in reprising his role as Hal Jordan, he added, “But for me, the suit stays in the closet. I mean, computer.”

      Ryan Reynolds responds to rumor of his Green Lantern cameo in ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’.
      The speculation arose after Vanity Fair reported earlier on Monday that the ending of Zack Snyder’s cut of “Justice League” would include a major cameo. Fans then started suggesting that the big surprise in store could be Reynolds’ appearance as Hal Jordan.

        See also…

      Reynolds portrayed Hal Jordan a.k.a. Green Lantern in the 2011 film directed by Martin Campbell. The movie received mostly negative reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office, grossing $219 million against a production budget of $200 million.
      Not a fan of the film either, the 44-year-old actor has mocked the movie over the years, even including jokes about it in his “Deadpool” films. Back in 2013, he expressed that he had “very little interest” in reprising the role in a “Justice League” movie.
      “Working on ‘Green Lantern’, I saw how difficult it is make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don’t really know exactly where you’re going with it or you don’t really know how to access that world properly – that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with,” he explained at the time. “So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world. But, you know, a great script and a good director can always turn that around.”
      In his version of “Justice League”, Snyder filmed several minutes of new footage with Ben Affleck (Batman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Amber Heard (Mera). His cut will also include Joker (Jared Leto) and Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello) scenes. It will be released as a four-hour movie on HBO Max on March 18.

      Cameron Diaz Not Ruling Out Possibility of Acting With Drew Barrymore Again

      by

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star talks about the chance of her returning to work onscreen again when making an appearance on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ for the host’s birthday special.

      Feb 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Cameron Diaz would “never say never” to a “Charlie’s Angels” return – as long as she gets to work with her best friend Drew Barrymore.
      The actress has virtually retired from Hollywood since her last feature film role as Miss Hannigan in 2014’s “Annie”, and she recently insisted she “couldn’t imagine” returning to work onscreen while her one-year-old daughter, Raddix, is still so young.
      However, Cameron isn’t ruling out the opportunity to co-star with Drew again, admitting they would always at least “consider” any new project together.
      “I always say never say never and… there’s never a time where we’re not going to be connected or consider something together,” she shared in a special appearance on America’s “The Drew Barrymore Show” for the host’s birthday special, which aired on Monday, February 22.
      Drew chimed in, “I’m glad that people feel that way [about wanting a ‘Charlie’s Angels’ return]… I’ll be grannies in inner tubes with Poo Poo [her nickname for Cameron], so we can do anything and everything, as long as we’re together.”
      The old friends grew more emotional as Cameron told Drew, “I can’t wait to just grow old with you and to experience the rest of our life together, because truly one of the great joys of my life is our friendship, and when I think about you I literally will cry, because I just think you’re so special, and to celebrate you… every year it’s one of my favourite times of the year.”

      Drew responded, “I have a whole life to live with you… You’ve made me a better person my whole life, and you’ve seen me through everything: ugly, beautiful, loss, life.”
      “Every break up was OK because we were always there, and I can’t wait to grow old with you too, because we’re gonna be old together!”
      She also took a moment to explain the origins of her odd nickname for Cameron, revealing, “It started out as classic boy humour, and then it just evolved into a true term of endearment, and it stuck!”
      [embedded content]
      Drew and Cameron joined forces with Lucy Liu for their first “Charlie’s Angels” outing in 2000, reuniting for 2003 sequel, “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle”.
      The franchise has since been revamped with actresses Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska in the lead roles for the 2019 revival.
