      Haley Williams and Shirley Manson Left Appalled After Watching 'Framing Britney Spears' Documentary

      Also expressing support to the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker following the release of the New York Times film are Kacey Musgraves, Vanessa Carlton, Sam Smith, Hayley Kiyoko and Liz Phair.

      Feb 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams and Garbage’s Shirley Manson are among the stars who have had strong reactions to a powerful new Britney Spears documentary.
      The pop superstar’s fans have been appalled by some of the footage in “Framing Britney Spears”, now out in the U.S., particularly when a paparazzo, who trailed Spears during her 2008 meltdown, claimed on camera she liked being surrounded by photographers.
      And some of her more famous devotees were shocked to learn more about the singer’s conservatorship, with her father overseeing her finances and wellbeing for the past decade-plus.
      “Just watched the ‘Framing Britney Spears’ documentary and have to say, there is something VERY weird, very wrong going on. #FreeBritney,” Manson tweeted, referring to the fan movement set up to highlight the way the pop star is being managed.

      Shirley Manson offered strong reaction to ‘Framing Britney Spears’ documentary.
      Williams added, “No artist today would have to endure the literal torture that media/society/utter misogynists inflicted upon her. The mental health awareness conversation, culturally, could never be where it is without the awful price she has paid.”

      Hayley Williams expressed support for Britney Spears after watching her documentary.

      And, responding to a fan, who suggested many of the problems featured in the documentary still exist, she added, “i’ll say this – as an artist, my very personal experience with misogynistic journalists/media is that over the last 15 years, it’s improved.”

      Hayley Williams shared her views on misogynistic journalists.
      Meanwhile, Kacey Musgraves has encouraged her two million Instagram followers to watch “Framing Britney Spears”, stating, “Never has one person been so used and abandoned by every facet around her. My heart goes out to her. She has always been such an inspiration to me my whole kid/teen life. Wish she could get a re-do.”

      Vanessa Carlton, Sam Smith, Hayley Kiyoko, and Liz Phair have also taken to social media after watching the film to offer their support to Britney.
      The New York Times film also features interviews with blogger Perez Hilton, who boasts that when Britney Spears does badly, he does well, and the singer’s ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, while her father, Jamie, is painted as a terrible, toxic force. But perhaps the most awkward footage is a hard-hitting 2003 TV interview, in which newswoman Diane Sawyer grills the singer and visibly upsets her by quoting Maryland’s then-First Lady Kendall Ehrlich, who famously said she’d like to shoot Spears if she got the chance, due to the example the pop star was setting for American kids.
      “Framing Britney Spears” debuted in the U.S. on Saturday night, February 6.

      Ralph Fiennes Keen to Keep Bond Role Despite Daniel Craig's Departure

      by

      WENN/Cover

      The release of ‘No Time To Die’ has been pushed back to October 8 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the actor playing Mallory is already talking about his future interest with the 007 franchise.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ralph Fiennes would like to train the next James Bond.
      With Daniel Craig set to exit the lead role after “No Time To Die” is released, the actor – who plays Mallory, the head of MI6, in the film series – is “very keen to continue” in his role even after Daniel’s departure from the franchise.
      Speaking to GamesRadar+ and Total Film, he said, “If anyone from Eon Films is listening, I’m very keen to continue training the new Bond. I love playing M, and I love being part of that franchise. But who knows? Things have to change. But I love working with Daniel. He’s a terrific Bond. I will treasure that experience.”

        See also…

      “No Time To Die” was recently delayed by another six months.
      The much-anticipated James Bond film had already been pushed back twice due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Daniel Craig’s final jaunt as the suave spy first slated for release in April, 2020, before being moved to November, 2020, and then again to April, 2021. And now it has been confirmed that the motion picture won’t hit screens until October 8, 2021.
      Prior to this, “Bridgerton” star Rege-Jean Page was rumored to be in the running to take over from Daniel as the next James Bond. However, he shut down the reports, saying, “I think there might be an element of cultural translation to be done here. Like if you’re a Brit, and you do something of any kind of renown, that people regard well, then people start saying the ‘B’ word (Bond). It’s like a merit badge, you get the ‘B’ word merit badge.”
      “But I don’t think it’s much more than that. I’m very, very glad to have the badge. I’m glad to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge. But it’s a badge,” he continued.

      Super Bowl LV: 'F9' Unveils New Preview, M. Night Shyamalan's 'Old' Debuts Mysterious Trailer

      by

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Fast’ sneak peek reunites the big family in addition to bringing back some familiar faces, while the ‘Old’ TV spot sees strange things happening to a family at a beach.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Universal Pictures is making use of Super Bowl LV to promote its upcoming movies. The studios released a TV spot each for “F9” and “Old” before the big game, which aired live from Tampa, Florida on Sunday, February 7.
      The new sneak peek for the next installment in the “Fast Saga” reunites the big family at dinner. “The world has a way of changing,” says Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto in voiceover, “but there’s one thing that always stays the same.”
      From there, the mood quickly changes as it previews some high-octane action sequence, including high-speed car chase scene for which the franchise is known. The 30-second sneak peek also teases the return of Sung Kang as Han Lue, Helen Mirren as Magdalene Shaw and Charlize Theron as Cipher.
      In “F9”, Dom has been leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and his son, Brian Marcos, but is forced to confront the sins of his past as imminent danger threatens his family. He must face his own younger brother Jakob (John Cena), a deadly assassin, who is working with their old enemy Cipher, and who holds a personal vendetta against Dom. It is slated to hit theaters in the U.S. on May 28.
      Diesel recently opened up about his excitement to show the film to fans of the franchise. “Definitely eager to share it,” he told EW. “When you make a good movie, your first goal is to make something that you can be proud of, and in the film business, you learn from the very beginning that when the film gets released, even without the pandemic, is rarely in your control. But when you really think about the quality of the movie, there’s more time you have to work in post-production, more time to get the shots right; it does give you a little bit of a cushion.”

        See also…

      “I want to get the movie out for all of the great fans who have been waiting for this chapter – and yet look at the world that we live in,” he went on gushing. “It is going to be a special day when that audience is back in the movie theater, celebrating the ninth chapter of this saga that they’ve been so loyal to.”
      “Old”, meanwhile, is an upcoming thriller from visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Inspired by the graphic novel “Sandcastle” by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, it centers on a family on a tropical holiday who discovers that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives into a single day.
      It stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Ken Leung, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz and Emun Elliott among others. Marking Shyamalan’s return to the big screen since 2019’s “Glass”, “Old” is scheduled to open in theaters on July 23.
      [embedded content]
      The movie is part of Shyamalan’s two-project deal with Universal Studios that was announced in October 2019. A second thriller film by the director is set for release on February 17, 2023, but the title is currently unknown.

      Rupert Grint Never Watched Last Five 'Harry Potter' Movies

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Ronald Weasley depicter says he stopped watching the big screen adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding books after the third installment which came out in 2004.

      Feb 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Harry Potter” star Rupert Grint “stopped watching” the films after the third instalment.
      Rupert starred as wannabe wizard Ronald Weasley in the movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s world-famous books, but admitted during an interview with Variety that he’s never seen the last five films in the franchise.
      “I’ve probably seen the first three at the premieres, but after that I stopped watching them,” he said. “But now that I have a daughter, I will probably have to watch them with her.”
      Grint welcomed baby daughter Wednesday with girlfriend Georgia Groome in May (20).
      He appeared opposite Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in the films, the third of which was “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”. There were eight films all together, with the final one – “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part II” – released in 2011.

        See also…

      While Rupert Grint is currently focusing on his new role as a first-time dad, the actor is open to the idea of returning as Ron Weasley. “I don’t know. I mean, never say never. I would never say, ‘Absolutely no,’ ” he said.
      “It was a huge part of my life and I’m very fond of that character and their stories. So yeah, I mean, I’d be up for it at the right time. I don’t know what capacity that would be, but yeah, we’ll see.”
      While the big-screen adaptation of “Harry Potter” ended in 2011, the franchise is still flourishing. It has spawned a “Fantastic Beasts” spinoff which centers on magizoologist Newt Scamander and enters the third installment.
      There was also a stage production “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” which served as a prequel to the books. It kicked off in the West End in 2016 before branching out to Broadway in 2018. It won multiple accolades including Best Play at Laurence Olivier Awards and Tony Awards.
      A TV project was also rumored to be in the works, but the report was quickly shut down by Warner Brothers.

      Zendaya Thanks 'Malcolm and Marie' Crew for Their Hard Work Ahead of Movie Release

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ star is ‘eternally grateful’ to the crew members involved in making her new feature film which is also produced by the actress.

      Feb 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Zendaya will be “eternally grateful” for the crew involved in making her new movie “Malcolm & Marie”.
      The actress took to Twitter to share her gratitude for those involved in creating the film during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, ahead of the movie’s release.
      “Full of excitement and nervousness as this lil movie we made in lockdown with people I love is coming out in the next hour,” she began. “Nervousness for a few reasons. Normally I’m pretty self-critical and that leads me to be far too fearful to make things myself or trust myself enough to even try.”
      “This is really my first time believing that maybe I could. This is my first time being a leading lady, but also my first time being this creatively involved in something, producing something, co-financing something, owning something and sharing it all with my crew.”

        See also…

      Zendaya, who stars opposite John David Washington in the film, continued, “We made this as a family, shot it in 14 days with a 22 person crew I am eternally grateful for. For their talent, their time, their hard work, and their willingness to believe in this film. If there’s anything to learn from this year, and I hope from our little movie it’s gratitude for every moment and every person we get to love.”
      She concluded, “All that being said, on behalf of our little crew of 22, we hope you laugh (please laugh lol) and cry and hopefully enjoy this little thing we made with a whole lot of love. Love Maree (I spell mine with two E’s).”
      Zendaya’s tweet came after she opened up about the huge differences between filming the Netflix movie and her upcoming role in the third Spider-Man movie.
      Speaking about the differences between the two sets, she told Yahoo! Entertainment, “It is very different. On this film, everybody’s doing seven different jobs. (Spider-Man) is a very different kind of experience in the sense that there’s a lot going on, but they still manage to keep it safe. I’m grateful to be back at work.”
