      Gerard Butler Believes COVID-19 Pandemic Will Put 'Greenland' in a Different Light

      by

      Instagram

      In the Ric Roman Waugh-directed disaster movie, the ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ star plays John Garrity whose family is fighting for their survival as Earth faces destruction from an approaching comet.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Gerard Butler is confident the coronavirus pandemic will give viewers a “deeper understanding” of his new movie “Greenland”.
      The 51-year-old actor plays John Garrity in the disaster flick which tells the story of a family fighting for survival as Earth faces destruction from an approaching comet and thinks that audiences will see the movie in a different light amid the global health crisis.
      Gerard said, “I feel now that people watch the movie with a way deeper understanding of what really happens when something is really out of our control. How does it affect them individually and how does it affect society?”
      “This isn’t just all about special effects that, at the end of the day, are kind of fun but meaningless. It actually goes pretty deep into the psyche of a family and a population at large for good, bad and indifferent and how something like this would play out.”

      The “Olympus Has Fallen” star admits that movie felt “more far-fetched” during production but added that it would be “timely” regardless as the world faces other problems.
      In an interview with Australian newspaper the Herald Sun, he said, “If you took away the pandemic, we still have a world full of fires and hurricanes and tsunamis – it was still something that felt very timely and symbolic of where we are and what we stand to lose and what ultimately do we mean to each other as people.”
      Gerard revealed he was keen to play John because of the character’s ordinariness. He explained, “It was almost like this script manifested itself because that’s what it felt like.”
      “To play a very relatable human being – someone who is not perfect. He’s flawed – he’s kind of trying his best but he’s made a lot of mistakes but when a situation like this arises, with such extreme danger, then you really see what he is made of.”

      When speaking to Susannah Constantine on the ‘My Wardrobe Malfunction’ podcast, the ‘Live and Let Die’ actress also shares the story when she almost got arrested by immigration officials.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jane Seymour was mugged on the street and almost got arrested when she was shooting James Bond film “Live and Let Die” in America.
      The actress played Bond girl Solitaire in the 1973 movie, alongside the late Sir Roger Moore, and she reveals there was plenty of drama away from the cameras during the shoot.
      She recalls being approached by thugs days after she arrived to shoot scenes for the action blockbuster.
      “I went to New Orleans to do the James Bond film when I was 20 or 21, and I was mugged actually,” she tells Susannah Constantine on the “My Wardrobe Malfunction” podcast. “I was mugged at four o’clock in the afternoon on Bourbon Street.”

      Jane, who moved to California in 1976, also had a run-in with immigration when she flew from Atlanta to Jamaica to film on location after telling officials she thought it was “stupid” that she didn’t have the right visa.
      Fortunately for Jane, when she explained that she was on her way to film a Bond movie and unpacked some of her costumes, customs bosses let her off with a warning.
      “When I tried to go to Jamaica they stopped me in Atlanta and told me I didn’t have the right visa for America, for transit, but I did have a visa that would allow me to go out and work, so I stupidly said, ‘That’s stupid’, and almost got arrested.”
      “They pulled me to a special room and interrogated me and I remember, in tears, saying, ‘But if you like James Bond you better let me get on an airplane, I’m in the James Bond film and if you don’t let me get on the airplane there won’t be a movie’, and they said, ‘OK well just this once, but don’t do it again’.”

      'Spider-Man 3': Tom Holland Claims in the Blind on Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Involvement

      by

      Columbia Pictures

      Despite his known reputation for dropping spoilers, the ‘Cherry’ star manages to keep tight-lipped when asked about rumors of previous Spider-Man depicters returning in his upcoming movie.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Tom Holland has been faced with the most-asked question surrounding the upcoming Spider-Man movie. The “Avengers: Endgame” actor addressed the long-running speculation about Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Kirsten Dunst’s possible involvement in the “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel in an interview for Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast.
      Having been known for his reputation to drop spoilers of his films, the Brit managed to keep his lips shut this time. “Beats me, I don’t know. If they are, they haven’t told me yet…,” he joked. “That would be something that Marvel would do. I watch the film and be like ‘So that’s who that tennis ball was!’ ”
      He added, “I’ve never met Kirsten Dunst. I met Andrew once, I met him at the BAFTAs. He was lovely. He was a really nice bloke and we had a nice chat.” He went on sharing, “It was quite soon after ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ had come out. He was really positive and nice. I’ve bumped into Tobey a few times at different parties in L.A. He was really nice. They seem to be lovely, really nice people. I hope they enjoy our movies. I hope they enjoy our Spider-Man’s.”

      Holland has been filming the untitled third Spider-Man film, with Zendaya Coleman, Jacob Batalon and Marisa Tomei returning. Jon Watts is also back at the helm.
      The movie will reportedly feature alternate universe storyline, which will allow the return of Maguire’s and Garfield’s Spider-Men. Benedict Cumberbatch, Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina are additionally said to star in it.
      Zendaya was previously asked about the rumored crossover when appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in December. “Everything is very secretive,” the 24-year-old told host Jimmy Kimmel. “I can neither confirm nor deny.”
      When asked if she celebrated Thanksgiving “with Spider-Men,” she responded, “Yeah – I can’t say that,” before admitting that the host almost got her, “You almost… that was good. That was good.” Jimmy explained his curiosity, “Because I was wondering what you guys had. Because I know Tobey Maguire is a vegan,” to which the MJ depicter claimed, “I have no idea… I really don’t.”

      Jennifer Lawrence in Recovery Following Accident on Set of 'Don't Look Up'

      by

      Netflix

      The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly cut near her eye when a ‘controlled glass explosion’ goes awry during the filming of the Netflix sci-fi movie with her co-star Timothee Chalamet.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lawrence is nursing an injury after she was involved in an accident on the set of her new movie “Don’t Look Up”. The actress was filming the Netflix sci-fi film on early Friday morning, February 5 in Boston with her co-star Timothee Chalamet when a planned explosion went awry.
      According to the Boston Globe, the Oscar-winning actress was shooting the final scene at around 1:30 A.M. local time. The scene features special effects which were executed by way of using a “controlled glass explosion,” but it went haywire.
      Prior to the explosion, Lawrence and Chalamet were seen filming a scene in which they spray-painted a window of the local Enterprise Building. An Enterprise photographer, who witnessed the accident, details the scene, which sees the two stars being caught in the act, resulting in police being called and quickly arriving in SUVs decorated as New York Police Department cruisers.
      TMZ, which obtained photo of Lawrence with Chalamet possibly taken before the set accident, reports that the Mystique of the “X-Men” film series was inside a restaurant during the explosion, but a trash can crashed through a window, sending fragments flying. A shard of glass cut her eyelid and it would not stop bleeding.

      Lawrence allegedly fell to the ground on Main Street and was tended to by Chalamet and several other members of the crew. She reportedly was holding her face when medics arrived.
      The extent of her injury is unclear, but a source says “it wasn’t that bad.” Her rep has not released a statement and a spokesperson for Netflix has not responded to a request for comment on the set accident, but it’s reported that filming was shut down for the day following the incident. The production was initially expected to last until about 3 A.M. Friday and also continue Friday night and early Saturday morning. It’s currently unknown when filming will resume.
      “Don’t Look Up” is directed by Adam McKay, with Leonardo DiCaprio starring in another lead role opposite Lawrence. The political satire disaster film centers on two low-level astronomers (Lawrence and DiCaprio) who discover that a meteor will hit Earth in six months. They will embark on an unsuccessful media tour in an attempt to warn the world of the impending danger that may destroy mankind.
      The film’s star-studded cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Himesh Patel, Kid Cudi, Matthew Perry, Ariana Grande and Chris Evans.

      Olivia Wilde Imposes 'No A*shole' Policy on Her Movie Set

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ director says in a new interview she introduces a new policy on the set of her movie projects to make sure ‘everybody is on the same level.’

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Olivia Wilde has introduced a new policy on her sets to ensure “everybody is on the same level.”
      The “Don’t Worry Darling” director opened up to Variety about her famed “no a*sholes” policy, and explained she wanted to reform the traditional “hierarchy” on a movie set when it came to helming her own films.
      “The no a*sholes policy, it puts everybody on the same level,” she said. “I also noticed as an actress for years how the hierarchy of the set separated the actors from the crew in this very strange way that serves no one… I think actors would actually like to know more about what’s happening there when you’re pulling my focus? What is that lens change? But the idea of, don’t bother the actors and keep them separate, and don’t look at them. I think it makes everyone quite anxious.”

        See also…

      Olivia added that it was the advice from a fellow director that she needed to have “three big arguments” a day to enforce her position of power that made her realise she needed things to be different on her sets.
      “I think that it is an unfortunate part of the kind of the paradigm, that has been created over the last 100 years, the idea that great art has to come from a place of discomfort and anxiety,” she mused. “That the pressure cooker has to get to a point where it can be something intense and valuable in that way. I do think it may be a uniquely female instinct to say, ‘Look, we can be nurturing. And we can multitask.’ ”
      “It doesn’t mean that anyone needs to be uncomfortable. And it doesn’t mean that I have to constantly remind you of my position, because I don’t think anyone on a set has ever forgotten who’s in charge.”

      Production on Dakota Johnson's New Movie Shut Down Following Positive Covid-19 Test

      by

      WENN

      The new movie ‘Am I Ok?’ directed by Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne has been forced to halt the filming after a crew member contracted the coronavirus.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Production on Dakota Johnson’s new movie “Am I Ok?” is not OK after a crew member tested positive for Covid.
      The Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne-directed film has stopped production in Los Angeles following the health scare, according to Deadline.
      A production spokesperson tells the outlet, “Earlier this week a supporting member from production on our film Am I OK? tested positive for COVID-19. The diagnosis was confirmed as a result of required and ongoing testing that all members of production receive.”
      “We are currently following all required safety protocols and have paused production until next week to allow for shooting to continue while maintaining strict safety standards pursuant to government and guild policies.”

        See also…

      “Am I Ok?” is inspired by the real-life story of Lauren Pomerantz, the head writer of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”. She also penned the script.
      It revolves around longtime best friends Lucy and Jane, who thought they knew everything about each other until one of them decided to move from Los Angeles to London for a job.
      The story caught Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s attention due to Pomerantz’s fresh take on the coming-of-age lesbian story. “Nothing interests me more than a character whose self-determination, curiosity, and bravery is directed inward, igniting the possibility to awaken one’s true authentic self,” said Allynne.
      Meanwhile, Pomerantz joked, “If I had known that coming out would lead to getting to work with Tig, Stephanie, and this producing team, I would’ve come out so much sooner. But then I wouldn’t have had this story to tell, and I am so excited that they are helping me tell it.”

      'Nomadland' Director Chloe Zhao to Take Triple Duties on Sci-Fi Western Version of 'Dracula'

      WENN/Derrick Salters

      Speaking about this unique take on Bram Stoker’s classic vampire movie, the first Asian female helmer to be nominated for Golden Globes expresses her fascination with vampires.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Awards season favourite Chloe Zhao has signed on to write, direct, and produce a futuristic take on “Dracula”.
      Studio bosses at Universal Pictures have recruited the “Nomadland” filmmaker to give Bram Stoker’s classic vampire movie a complete makeover, with a sci-fi Western spin, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
      “I’ve always been fascinated by vampires and the concept of the Other they embody,” Zhao shared in a statement. “I’m very excited to work with… the team at Universal to reimagine such a beloved character.”

      Peter Cramer, Universal president, added, “Chloe’s singular lens shines a light on stories of the overlooked and misunderstood. We are thrilled to be working with her as she reimagines one of the most iconic outsider characters ever created.”
      The news emerges just one day after Zhao made history as the first Asian woman to receive a Golden Globe directing nomination. Her Frances McDormand-starring drama movie itself, which has won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, collected a total of four nominations, including Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Screenplay, for the 78th annual Globes.
      It’s not the only upcoming “Dracula” project – there’s a separate film revamp in the works from director Karyn Kusama and horror producers at Blumhouse. That project was given the green light last year (2020), six years after Luke Evans tackled the blood-sucking character in 2014’s “Dracula Untold”.
      This “Dracula” movie will also not be Zhao’s first big project after the success of “Nomadland”. She is currently in the post-production stage of Marvel Studios’ “The Eternals”. The blockbuster movie, which features Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani and Salma Hayek in the cast ensemble, is planned to be released on November 5.
