      Leslie Mann Couldn't Remember Her Lines as She's Sweaty Mess When Filming With Judi Dench

      by

      IFC Films

      The ‘Knocked Up’ actress recalls working with her acting hero on the set of their new movie ‘Blithe Spirit’ and admits she struggled to remember her lines due to her jittery.

      Feb 21, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Leslie Mann was such a hot, sweaty mess when she worked with her hero Judi Dench, it took her two hours to “calm down” and film their scene together.
      The “Knocked Up” star partnered with the British Oscar winner in the new film version of Noel Coward’s play “Blithe Spirit”, and really lost the plot when she got up close and personal with the great Dame.
      “I was terrified,” Leslie told America’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan”. “It’s Judi Dench and she’s, like, one of my heroes. The first time we worked together, I didn’t get a chance to really talk to her much but they just kind of put us on a bed together because I’m a ghost haunting her while she’s trying to sleep…”
      “I was sweating and nervous and I couldn’t remember my lines. It took me about two hours to calm down and be able to film the scene with her.”

      Even worse, she had no idea how to address the Dame.
      “I didn’t know what to call her,” she added. “It didn’t feel right calling her Dame Judi or Mrs. Dench. I didn’t know how to refer to her.”
      But Judi Dench helped Leslie Mann calm her nerves. “I think she knew I was nervous, I was probably sweating or something, and she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and she set me at ease,” she said a previous interview.
      Aside from struggling with her jittery when sharing scene with the Dame, the actress enjoyed most of the filming. She especially relished wearing the period outfits. “It was exciting to learn something new and a new way of doing things. All the costumes were so much fun, incredible to wear something other than what my characters would normally wear like jeans or t-shirts,” she said.

      Feb 21, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Daisy Ridley is set to star in “The Marsh King’s Daughter”.
      The actress has landed the role of Helena in Neil Burger’s upcoming flick, an adaptation of Karen Dionne’s best-selling psychological-thriller novel of the same name.

After a lifetime of trying to escape her past, Helena is forced to face her demons when her father unexpectedly escapes from prison.”
      The script is being adapted by “The Revenant” scribe Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, with principle photography scheduled for the summer in Canada.
      Daisy’s next movie is Doug Liman’s sci-fi “Chaos Walking”, in which she portrays Viola Eade alongside Tom Holland as Todd Hewitt.

      Jackson has been cast as Jordan’s wife of 60 years, Irene.
      “An Ideal Husband” ‘s Oliver Parker will direct the project from a script by William Ivory, with principal photography scheduled to begin in June (21).
      In a statement, Parker said, “No one can resist a script that makes people both laugh and cry – I loved Billy (William)’s writing and the story itself, so inspirational and so moving, seemed to speak to our times and our need for heroes on a human scale, whether people like Bernard Jordan or our doctors and nurses.”
      “And now to have Michael and Glenda – two iconic actors – agree to honour this story with their brilliance, it’s the cherry on the cake!”
      The film won’t be the first time the Oscar winners have worked together – they previously played husband and wife in “The Romantic Englishwoman” back in 1975.

      Tahar Rahim Tortured for Real in True-Story Movie 'The Mauritanian' With Jodie Foster

      by

      STX Entertainment

      The Judas of ‘Mary Magdalene’ talks about his upcoming movie, recalling the torture scenes and the jittery at the prospect of working with Jodie Foster.

      Feb 21, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tahar Rahim was initially “a bit intimidated” at the prospect of working with Jodie Foster.
      “The Serpent” actor stars opposite the veteran actress in “The Mauritanian” – in which he plays Mohamedou Ould Salahi, who was wrongly held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp without charge or trial for 14 years – and was initially nervous about sharing the screen with her, but she quickly put him at ease.
      “I felt a bit intimidated when we first met, but she relaxes you,” he told the Daily Mail newspaper’s Baz Bamingboye. “I used to compare acting to a tennis match but, with her, it’s more of a dance. You try it once or twice. You follow, then she follows and, in the middle of that, something happens.”
      The movie is based on a true story and the actor felt it was vital he was tortured for real in some of the scenes.

      “My job is to make it authentic,” he explained. “If I don’t taste it, I’m going to fake it – and if I fake it, I can’t believe in it. And neither can the audience. I had bruises for weeks after the shoot.”
      “My ankles and arms were bruised. More the ankles, because they were shackled all day long. I played it for real. The water torture, too.”
      Tahar met the real Salahi on Skype, and later in person, and was amazed at how relaxed he was until they talked about his experiences of being tortured.
      “He was smiling and cracking jokes,” he recalled. “I kept wondering how this was possible, after everything he’d been through? But, at some point in the conversation, when the talk came to the tough questions of torture, his face would change, as if he was going back there…”

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Acclaimed British actors Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson are reuniting onscreen to star in biographical drama “The Great Escaper”.

In order to commemorate their fallen comrades, he then staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy.
      “It was the story we all tell ourselves to make war and old age bearable,” a plot description reads. ”The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart.

      Courtney Love Blames #MeToo Moments for Her Short-Lived Acting Career

      by

      Instagram

      Looking back at the time she got nominated for a Golden Globe, the Hole frontwoman claims that ‘no one would believe’ her when she tried to go public with her allegations of sexual misconducts.

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rocker Courtney Love quit acting after enduring “a bunch of #MeToo” moments.
      The singer dabbled in acting throughout the 1980s and ’90s, but claims she has since turned her back on Hollywood after a number of sexual misconduct experiences.
      Courtney didn’t share any details about the incidents, but claimed “no one” would believe her when she tried to go public with the allegations.
      Alongside an old snap of herself at the Golden Globe Awards, where she was nominated for her role in the 1996 film “The People vs. Larry Flint”, she explained, “For a few years, because of (the film’s director) Milos Forman, I was a professional actress and a movie star. It was fun as hell. I was nominated for best actress, for a Golden Globe .. One day I might talk about it.”
      “I love acting… I stopped being capable of it after a bunch of #metoos . No one would believe me, and it wouldn’t stop. So I left, and it left. And I’m good with it.”

        See also…

      “Maybe, in my next life I’ll be stronger & able to endure it..,” she continued. “I tip my hat to those who can (sic).”

      However, the Hole frontwoman, who is currently based in the U.K., admits she does reminisce about her days onscreen.
      She added, “I love it here in England. But I sure do miss acting sometimes. To the tune of a great director. One of the greatest experiences, as a woman you can have, I think.”
      “All the glamour that comes after that is fun, flamboyant, gorgeous! But the trust one can achieve with a great director? It’s one of the most profound things I’ve ever known (sic).”
      Although Courtney claims to have walked away from acting, she most recently appeared in the 2018 film “JT LeRoy”, and she will also feature in the upcoming James Franco-directed drama, “The Long Home”.

      The Flash Movie Casts 'The Young and the Restless' Star as First Latina Supergirl

      by

      Instagram

      Sasha Calle breaks down in tears when director Andy Muschietti informs her through a video call that she’s landed the role of the Girl of Steel in the upcoming DCEU film starring Ezra Miller.

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The Flash movie has found its Supergirl in “The Young and the Restless” star Sasha Calle. Director Andy Muschietti confirmed the news by sharing on his Instagram account of a video of his video call with the actress, during which he informed her that she landed the part.
      In the approximately two-minute video, Muschietti jokingly asked Calle if she could physically fly. When the 25-year-old star admitted she can’t fly, but she would love to, the director showed her a Supergirl costume that she would need to make her dream come true.
      “You’re Supergirl,” the “IT” helmer casually told Calle, who couldn’t help breaking down in tears as she learned of her casting for the upcoming DCEU film. Not able to hide her excitement, she asked for a moment to “freak out” in the middle of their video chat.

      “Been doing a lot of flashbacks lately but today is about a Flash forward,” Muschietti captioned the video posted on Friday, February 19. He additionally told Deadline about picking Calle among more than 425 other hopefuls, “I saw more than four hundred auditions. The talent pool was truly amazing and it was very hard to make a decision, but we finally found an actress who was destined to play this role.”
      According to the site, Muschietti, DC Films boss Walter Hamada and the producers were blown away by the actress’ toughness and vulnerability that she brought to the role. The actresses, who auditioned for the role, were reportedly not told what part they were reading for, until very late in the process. Calle also did a chemistry read with the Flash depicter, Ezra Miller, with all the processes done via Zoom due to COVID-19.
      Calle is best known for her role as Lola Rosales on daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless”. She was nominated last year in the Outstanding Young Performer in a Drama series category at the Daytime Emmy Awards. She also starred on the YouTube miniseries “Socially Awkward” in addition to several short films.
      The Boston, MA-born Colombian actress, hereby, is the first Latina Supergirl ever in DC. The character was first brought to life by Helen Slater in the 1984 Warner Bros. movie, while Melissa Benoist famously portrays the Girl of Steel on The CW’s series “Supergirl”.
      The upcoming stand-alone Flash movie is reportedly set to begin production soon as it is currently scheduled for a November 4, 2022 release in the United States. Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck are rumored to reprise their own version of Batman as the movie is said to introduce viewers to the idea of the multiverse.

      Cameron Diaz Has No Plan to Return to Acting While Daughter Is Still Young

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Bad Teacher’ actress won’t be taking up acting gig any time soon as she is reluctant to spend long hours away from her little daughter with Benji Madden.

      Feb 20, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Cameron Diaz “couldn’t imagine” returning to her acting career whilst her daughter is still young.
      The actress hasn’t appeared in a feature film since she played the role of Miss Hannigan in 2014’s “Annie”, but has said she isn’t interested in relaunching her Hollywood career any time soon, as she doesn’t want to spend “16 hours of (her) day” away from her 13-month-old daughter, Raddix.
      Asked whether she plans on making an acting comeback during an interview on SiriusXM’s “Quarantined with Bruce”, she replied, “I’m never going to say never about anything in life. I’m just not that person. So will I ever make a movie again? I’m not looking to. But will I? I don’t know. I have no idea.”
      “I couldn’t imagine, being a mom now, where I’m at as a mother with my child at her first year, to have to be on a movie set that takes 14 hours, 16 hours of my day away from my child. I just couldn’t. I wouldn’t have been the mom that I am now had I chosen to do that at any other time in my life.”

      Aside from being a mother, Cameron – who has Raddix with her husband Benji Madden – is also focusing on her organic wine brand, Avaline, but finds her family life to be “the most fulfilling part” of her life so far.
      “Avaline is the only sort of day-to-day work that I’m doing other than being a wife and a mother, which has been the most … rewarding,” she smiled.
      “It really has been the most fulfilling part of my life so far. It’s just like so important… I probably somehow waited for this, so that I could do all that other stuff. So I didn’t have any distractions, you know what I mean?”
      Cameron and Benji welcomed their daughter in late December 2019, and announced her birth in January last year (20).
      In a statement shared on Instagram at the time, they wrote, “She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family. While we are overjoyed to share this news, we also feel a strong instinct to protect our little one’s privacy. So we won’t be posting pictures or sharing any more details, other than the fact that she is really really cute!! Some would even say RAD. (sic)”
