      Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' Likely to Hit Small Screen in March as Four-Hour Film

      by

      HBO Max

      A new trailer for the ‘Watchmen’ director’s version of the blockbuster movie features super-villain Steppenwolf kneeling before Darkseid, in addition to offering more scenes of Ray Fisher as Cyborg.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Zack Snyder’s four-hour “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” epic will no longer drop as installments on streaming site HBO Max.
      HBO and DC bosses confirmed the plan to chop up the film in parts during the virtual DC Fandome event last summer (20), but it now appears the film will hit the small screen as one blockbuster on 18 March (21).
      A new trailer features all the “Justice League” stars and includes scenes that were cut by Joss Whedon, who completed the 2017 film after Snyder was forced to step down as director due to a family tragedy.
      Fans were left underwhelmed by Whedon’s film and badgered Snyder to patch his version back together. The filmmaker agreed to do just that in 2017, and added reshoots to the film.

Superman: Dawn of Justice”.
      There are also more scenes of Ray Fisher as Cyborg in the new trailer.

      Snyder confirmed he would be swelling the character’s appearance in his “Justice League”, despite the actor’s ongoing public spat on social media against Warner Bros. regarding their handling of his accusations of onset misconduct against Whedon. Fisher’s claims have sparked a series of accusations about Whedon’s bad behavior behind the camera.

      Jared Leto Denies 'Suicide Squad' Rat Prank Story, Insists He Never Gave Margot Robbie Twisted Gift

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman sets the record straight on the claims that he sent his onscreen love interest a rat gift, several years after the release of the DC anti-hero movie.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jared Leto has exploded the Hollywood myth he sent Margot Robbie a rat gift while they were playing twisted lovers in “Suicide Squad”.
      The actor and singer played Joker in the 2016 movie, opposite Margot’s Harley Quinn, and during the press tour for the blockbuster, they both sold the media on the prank story.
      Five years later, Leto has come clean, insisting he only gave her a vegan cinnamon bun.
      In an interview with GQ about his various movie roles, Jared said, “It’s funny how all this stuff takes on a life of its own. I never gave Margot Robbie a dead rat, that’s not true. I actually gave her a lot of… I found this place in Toronto that had a great vegan cinnamon bun… so that was a very common thing.”
      Margot opened up about rat-gate in an interview just before the film’s big release and claimed the rodent she was sent was alive.

      “(I got a) nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it – a live rat,” she said. “If Harley got something from Joker, she’d probably cherish it.”
      The 30-year-old actress embellished the rat tale, admitting she was scared of the creature at first but kept it and grew quite fond of her pet, until she had to give it up.
      “I was like, ‘I’m not going to kill him’,” she explained. “So I ended up keeping him as a pet. I ended up getting him, like, a sweet little play pen, a slide, a hammock, and a leash because I wanted to take him to set and walk him around… But then our landlord at the place I was staying found out.”
      Meanwhile, Leto, who has reprised his Joker character for Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Justice League” epic, reveals he loved stepping into the villain’s shoes again.
      “I guess it’s this generation’s version of taking on an infamous Shakespearean character,” he tells GQ. “Lots of people have played the part before, lots of people will play it in the future, so really it’s an opportunity to do something new and to explore challenging territory.”
      Leto shot new scenes for Snyder’s four-hour blockbuster and appears at the end of a new trailer, chatting to his superhero nemesis Batman, played by Ben Affleck.

      'Mission: Impossible 7' Filming Put on Pause Again Due to Revolts Among Cast and Crew

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The production on the upcoming seventh ‘Mission: Impossible’ film starring Tom Cruise has been shut down again as the cast and crew members allegedly refused to work.

      Feb 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The cast and crew of the new “Mission: Impossible” movie have paused filming amid more coronavirus-related issues.
      The action movie starring Tom Cruise has been busily filming in the Middle East over recent weeks, but production work has been halted after people reportedly refused to work and demanded to head back to the U.K. before the country’s new travel restrictions are implemented.
      An insider explained, “The whole production has hit yet another issue and there have been revolts among the cast and crew.”
      “For quite a few of them, the prospect of having to quarantine in a hotel back in the U.K. is a step too far and they’ve demanded to be flown home before the rules change. The studio has had to fund a jet back and the missing cast and crew will inevitably cause another delay.”
      “It was hoped that filming in the UAE would provide some flexibility but that changed when the UK shut its borders.”

        See also…

      The upcoming film – which also stars the likes of Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, and Hayley Atwell – has been delayed numerous times due to coronavirus-related issues.
      And the situation is said to be taking a toll on the production staff, a number of whom no longer “feel it’s worth.”
      The source told The Sun newspaper, “Morale is really down and many of the younger staff who aren’t earning the big bucks just don’t feel it’s worth it any more.”
      The eagerly-anticipated movie first went into production in February, shortly before much of the world entered lockdown because of the pandemic.
      And due to various delays over recent months, there appears to be some concern over whether the film’s release will need to be delayed.

      Daniel Kaluuya Took Opera Singing Lessons to Prepare for His Role as Black Panthers Leader

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Get Out’ actor reveals he learned to sing opera to perfect his voice as late revolutionary activist Fred Hampton in the powerful movie ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’.

      Feb 14, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Get Out” star Daniel Kaluuya took opera singing lessons to help him prepare for speech scenes in his new Black Panthers movie “Judas and the Black Messiah”.
      The Brit plays Panthers leader Fred Hampton in the powerful film and needed to prepare for a series of sequences in which he had to speak like a passionate revolutionary to crowds of followers without losing his voice, so to strengthen his vocal range he tried a little opera therapy.
      “I had to condition my vocal chords and engage my diaphragm, because I’d be doing speeches for, like, 12 hours,” he tells “Good Morning America”. “Like any muscle, you need to get it strong in order for you to sustain that, in order not to do permanent damage to it.”
      “I also had to study cadence, because Chairman Fred Hampton had a different cadence to when he spoke and when he did speeches and I wanted them to feel different but feel like the same person at the same time.”
      Meanwhile, in a separate TV interview, the actor revealed he trained himself to become ambidextrous.

      The star decided to learn a new skill during the first COVID lockdown in the U.K. last year (20), and impressed himself with his progress.
      “I… taught myself to write with my left hand,” he explained on Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show”.
      “On the first day it looked like I was writing while the house was being bombed, but to see the progression in six months was amazing.”
      “It makes you realise that doing stuff you normally do and then doing it a different way challenges the way you do everything.”
      However, not all of Kaluuya’s time was spent picking up useful skills – he also found himself ditching his usual diet as he began to indulge in all of his favourite foods while stuck at home.
      “I let go and ate everything!” he laughed.

      T.I. Wows RZA With His Performance in New Movie 'Cut Throat City'

      by

      WENN

      The Wu-Tang Clan star says that, while T.I. was not his first choice for the role in his new film, the Grand Hustle rapper ‘blew [his] mind’ with his onscreen performance.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rapper-turned-director RZA was in awe of T.I.’s acting skills after casting him in his Netflix film, “Cut Throat City”.
      The “Whatever You Like” hitmaker has been honing his on-camera talents in recent years on TV shows like”House of Lies” and “Single Ladies”, and movies such as Marvel’s “Ant-Man” franchise and “Dolemite Is My Name”, and RZA was truly impressed by what he saw after originally approaching his Wu-Tang Clan bandmate Method Man for the role of drug lord Lorenzo ‘Cousin’ Bass.
      “He totally shocked me and blew my mind,” RZA told syndicated columnist Allison Kugel, revealing T.I. was a late addition to the cast of the action heist movie.
      “I had been developing the film for five years, and I always wanted Method Man to play the role of Cousin, but he told me he wasn’t into the bad guy roles right now.”

        See also…

      Another actor who made quite the impression on RZA was Kat Graham, who also boarded the project at late notice.
      “I got lucky to get Kat,” he confessed about “The Vampire Diaries” star. “We had developed her role for another actress who became unavailable about two weeks before we were shooting. Then our agent said that Kat Graham read the script and was interested, and would I be interested to talk with her? We did a FaceTime and she said exactly what I needed to hear.”
      “Kat Graham really shows that it’s not just beauty in her, but it’s her strength and expression,” he gushed of her portrayal as the main protagonist’s wife, who steps up to help her man as they become embroiled in criminal activity.
      “I’m glad that she became the anchor of that family, and she did it beautifully,” RZA added. “She could have played it pretty and sexy. Even though she was beautiful on screen, it was natural. She was strong to go and fight for her man.”
      “Cut Throat City” also features Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes, Terrence Howard, Isaiah Washington, and Shameik Moore.

      Mads Mikkelsen Would Love to Return as 'Casino Royale' Villain in Another James Bond Movie

      by

      Sony Pictures Entertainment

      The 55-year-old Danish actor who played the main baddie in the 2006 Bond film is keen to reprise his villainous role in another 007 adaptation with Daniel Craig.

      Feb 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Mads Mikkelsen wants to play another James Bond villain.
      The actor portrayed Le Chiffre in 2006’s “Casino Royale” and joked he wants to persuade Daniel Craig to stay on as 007 following the release of upcoming movie “No Time to Die” because he wants to make another film in the series with him.
      Mentioning how Maud Adams famously played Andrea Anders in “The Man With the Golden Gun” and then returned to the franchise 11 years later as the titular character in Octopussy, he said, “I would have liked to have gone back with Daniel Craig. It was wonderful to start out with him in Casino Royale, and it would have been fun to wrap it up with his last Bond. I’ll have to talk him into doing another one.”
      Mads can next be seen in “Another Round”, in which he plays history teacher Martin, a man who has “simply forgotten how to embrace the present’, with his marriage suffering and his kids disappointed in him.

      But Martin sees a way to “recapture” his youth when he and three of his fellow teachers decide to experiment on how differing levels of alcohol affect their classroom capabilities, as well as their personal lives – and it seems to go well for him at first.
      “He’s recharging his batteries and finding his way back to his former self,” Mads explained to the Daily Mail newspaper’s Baz Bamigboye. “It’s all about recapturing your youth. The youngsters, the students, are there to remind us of what we’re not any more.”
      And while the cast enjoyed a “wonderful boot camp” where they got drunk to varying degrees, no alcohol was consumed during filming.
      “There was water and apple juice. We realised there was no way we could do this for real,” he smiled. “Every single day… 30 beers a day. That would have been a complete no-go. Besides, the communication stops with your director after a certain amount of alcohol.”
