      Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas Keen to Do 'Save the Last Dance' Sequel

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      While Julia shares her vision on how her character is doing in the potential follow-up, her co-star Sean voices his eagerness to reunite with the actress once again as grown-ups.

      Jan 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Julia Stiles and her “Save the Last Dance” co-star Sean Patrick Thomas are eager for a sequel to mark the film’s 20th anniversary.
      The teen romance was released back in 2001, and both Stiles and Thomas are curious to find out where their characters would be today in a potential follow-up.
      “It would be so special,” Stiles told E! News. “I would be a lot less nervous. I’m envisioning, like, me doing the Debbie Allen character in Fame, where now she’s a dance teacher and she’s smacking her cane against the ballet bar. And then, I don’t know.”
      Thomas admitted that while he would love to revisit the franchise, he’s not sure what the plotline for a sequel would be.
      He added, “I can never think of something that sounds plausible. Unless, they ended up getting married somehow. But that seems too easy. So it’s tough for me to kind of wrap my brain around how that would come to pass. But, you know, if somebody had a good idea, I’d definitely take a look.”

      “I would love to work with Julia again, now,” he shared. “It would be an incredible pleasure because we’re grown-ups now.”

      And Thomas remains proud of the interracial romance at the heart of the film, which he believes was ahead of its time.
      “Even now in 2021, you don’t see a whole lot of major studio films with an interracial couple as the two leads,” he said. “It was remarkable for that time. It wasn’t really about, you know, black and white and it’s so fraught. It was simple, it was sweet, it was pure. It had innocence to it. And I think that’s what resonates.”
      “Save the Last Dance” spawned a straight-to-DVD sequel in 2006, but did not feature the original cast members.

      Gal Gadot Says 'Wonder Woman 1984' Gold Armor Is Painful to Wear

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Diana Prince depicter talks about the new Wonder Woman costume in the second movie, claiming it’s not really comfortable and practical but it’s worth the pain.

      Jan 18, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Gal Gadot suffered for her art on the set of “Wonder Woman 1984” after having to endure the “pain” of wearing the ceremonial gold battle armour in the new sequel.
      The star was thrilled when she first laid eyes on the eagle-like metallic costume, but she quickly realised it would be neither comfortable nor practical to fight in onscreen.
      “When we decided to go for another outfit, I was very excited,” Gadot told OK! magazine. “And when (director) Patty Jenkins showed me what we were going for, I was stoked.”
      “I thought the costume looked fantastic, but it didn’t look comfortable at all. I was like, ‘OK, how do we make the golden one practical and comfortable?’ Well, it wasn’t. But it looks great and it was worth the pain!”

      The Israeli beauty was no stranger to the superhero’s uncomfortable outfits – she previously hid the fact she could barely breathe in Wonder Woman’s corset-style costume when she was initially cast as the DC Comics icon and her alter ego, Diana Prince.
      “Two days after they cast me for the role, they brought me to Michigan to do the fittings,” she recalled.
      “I walked into this huge room where there were tons of images of me as Wonder Woman. They got me into the fitting room and I put on the costume, which was crazy.”
      “I was so grateful, thankful, and happy to be there that I didn’t say a word about the fact that the costume was incredibly small and tight. I just kept saying, ‘Thank you for having me.’ And then I started to breathe really heavily and couldn’t really speak, so the designer did lots of adjustments!”

      Leslie Mann So Nervous to Film Scene With Judi Dench That She Needed Over an Hour to Calm Down

      by

      IFC Films

      The ‘Knocked Up’ actress is grateful to the British movie icon for her patience when the younger star needed more than an hour to calm her nerve on the set of ‘Blithe Spirit’.

      Jan 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Leslie Mann has credited Dame Judi Dench with helping to calm her down on the set of period comedy “Blithe Spirit” because she was so nervous working with the screen icon.
      The “Knocked Up” star plays Elvira Condomine in the film adaptation of Noel Coward’s 1941 play and she struggled to keep her cool in her first scenes with Dench, who portrays mystic Madame Arcati.
      Leslie told talkRADIO, “It was so much fun, the first day I worked with her was in bed and that was terrifying for me because she’s someone who I have so much respect for and there I was laying in bed with her.”

      “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 continued. “It took me about an hour and a half to calm down, because it’s too close up, she was right there!”
      “Blithe Spirit” also stars Dan Stevens, Isla Fisher, and Emilia Fox.
      Aside from struggling with her jittery when sharing scene with Judi Dench, Leslie Mann 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.
      “It was so much fun to wear the beautiful feather capes and the gorgeous high waisted trousers and blouses and just the whole thing. It was like a dream, so much fun!”

      WENN

      Bong Joon Ho who won multiple Academy Awards for his 2019 comedy thriller has been officially appointed as the President of the Jury at the upcoming Venice International Film Festival.

      Jan 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho is heading to Italy to head up the jury for the 2021 Venice International Film Festival.
      The South Korean Oscar winner will lead the seven-person group tasked with determining the winners of the competition prizes, including the Golden Lion for Best Film.
      “Venice International Film Festival carries with it a long and varied history, and I’m honoured to be woven into its beautiful cinematic tradition,” he shared in a statement.
      “As president of the jury – and more importantly as a perpetual cinephile – I’m ready to admire and applaud all the great films selected by the festival. I’m filled with genuine hope and excitement.”

      Praising the filmmaker as “one of the most authentic and original voices in worldwide cinema,” festival director Alberto Barbera added, “We are immensely grateful to him for having agreed to put his passion as a cinephile attentive, inquisitive, and unprejudiced, at the service of our festival.”
      Cate Blanchett served as the jury president for the 2020 event, which was still held in-person last year, although with a scaled-back programme due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
      The 78th Venice International Film Festival is scheduled to take place from 1 to 11 September.
      Last year, Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” won the top honor at the event. Meanwhile, the Grand Jury Prize went to Michel Franco’s “New Order” and Silver Lion was handed to Kiyoshi Kurosawa for “Wife of a Spy”.
      The best actress was given to Vanessa Kirby for “Pieces of a Woman” and the best actor to Pierfrancesco Favino for “Padrenostro”.

      Carey Mulligan Among Honorees at 2021 Palm Springs International Film Awards

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Promising Young Woman’ actress is set to be celebrated at the upcoming Palm Springs International Film Awards, nine years after she was named breakthrough star at the event.

      Jan 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Carey Mulligan will be honoured with the International Star Award for her performance in “Promising Young Woman” at The Palm Springs International Film Awards.
      Mulligan stars in the drama, directed by Emerald Fennell, as Cassandra Thomas, a young woman who risks her life to avenge the death of her best friend.
      According to editors at Variety, the festival and film awards gala will not be held as in-person events this year (21). However, the actress is among a selection of honourees being recognised for their stellar performances, organisers announced.
      “This is a thrilling black comedy that tells an entertaining story of female power,” festival chairman Harold Matzner, told the news outlet. Mulligan previously received the festival’s breakthrough performance award in 2011.
      Previous recipients of the International Star Award include Nicole Kidman, Helen Mirren, and Saoirse Ronan. Mulligan is now a favourite for the Oscar glory as last year’s honouree, Charlize Theron, gained an Oscar nomination for her role in movie “Bombshell”.

      The Palm Springs International Film Festival and Film Awards are set to return in 2022 while offshoot Palm Springs ShortFest is still scheduled for 22-28 June.
      In the “Promising Young Woman”, Carey Mulligan showed off her vocal chops as she covered Paris Hilton’s “Stars Are Blind” in the middle of a pharmacy with her onscreen love interest, played by Bo Burnham. While she had no problem with the singing portion of the scene, she was reluctant to show off her dance moves on camera.
      “It was probably one of the scariest days of my career, but it was all led by Bo Burnham,” she shared on U.S. talk show “Watch What Happens Live”. “I initially resisted dancing quite a lot, but he really led the charge.”
      Carey is unsure if Paris has checked out her song cover, but she would have loved to have connected with the hotel heiress and DJ had they been able to stage a traditional premiere for the film.
      “We don’t know if she’s seen it; I actually don’t know if Paris has seen the film,” Carey confessed, “and one of the greatest disappointments of this year is not being able to get her to come to a premiere, but I hope she likes it.”

      Johnny Flynn Calls David Bowie Biopic 'Really Dark Little Film' as He Slams 'Unhelpful' Trailer

      by

      IFC Films

      The actor who portrays the late musician in the upcoming movie ‘Stardust’ has been left unimpressed by the marketing of the Gabriel Range-directed biopic.

      Jan 17, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Johnny Flynn admits the trailer for upcoming David Bowie movie “Stardust” has been “unhelpful.”
      The 37-year-old star portrays the late music icon during the early days of his career in the upcoming film, but he’s warned audiences not to go looking for the “hits” while hitting out at early marketing for the project, which has people expecting a blockbuster similar to “Rocketman” or “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
      Speaking to Britain’s Big Issue magazine about the project – which didn’t have the approval of Bowie’s family – he shared, “It certainly is not a jukebox musical or sprawling biopic. It’s only a couple of weeks of his life.”
      “And that’s the only film about him that I would have wanted to make.”
      “If you want to see the hits, you would be better off watching the real thing or listening to his records. This is his beginnings as Ziggy.”

        See also…

      “Some of the marketing around the film was really unhelpful. The trailer looked like it was trying to be (a big biopic) with the bombastic music.”
      “For me, it’s a really dark little film, that’s what we were making. It’s a tiny moment in time.”
      Although Johnny has been a big Bowie fan since his teens, he admitted he took a break from listening to the “Aladdin Sane” hitmaker’s records because he’d been so immersed in them for research. However, he’s now enjoying them again alongside his young son.
      “I’ve just started (listening to Bowie) again. I went through a phase where I couldn’t because I went quite hard into the research and had to take a break,” explained the star.
      “My nine-year-old has seen the film – the others are a bit young – but we’ve started putting the records on and he loves the artwork, he’s got a David Bowie poster.”
      “He was in Canada when we were filming and saw me in the Ziggy wig so it was interesting seeing him process this incredible artist at that age, somebody who’s so innovative.”

      David Bowie Biopic 'Stardust' to Explore Hidden Side of the Late Star

      by

      WENN

      Johnny Flynn, the actor who will play the late music icon, is keen to explore the theme of madness in the upcoming movie which will be directed by Gabriel Range.

      Jan 16, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Johnny Flynn is confident David Bowie biopic “Stardust” will show audiences an unknown side of the “Starman” hitmaker.
      The 37-year-old actor plays the late music icon in the movie, which follows Bowie on his first trip to the U.S. in 1971 – a country where he is a virtual unknown, at a point in Bowie’s early musical career when he was “a bit of a failure.”
      Johnny said, “It’s a David we don’t really know… He’s running away from things and is very fearful.”
      The movie sees Bowie haunted by the mental health issues suffered by his half-brother Terry Burns and Johnny was interested to explore the theme of madness in his portrayal of the star.
      He told British publication The i Paper, “It’s heartbreaking; he was a huge figure for David. He introduced him to a lot of music.”
      “It’s really interesting for me that he’s written The Man Who Sold The World, which has underlying themes of madness. He’s preoccupied with the state of his mind.”

        See also…

      “Stardust” does not feature any of Bowie’s music and the music legend’s film director son, Duncan Jones, has distanced the family from the project but Flynn is unconcerned about the lack of Bowie’s back catalogue.
      Johnny – the lead singer of band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit – explained, “At this time he was quite often not singing his own songs. He was playing covers – Anthony Newley and Jacques Brel and The Velvet Underground.”
      Flynn added, “I’m never going to sound like David singing those songs you know so well … You’d be better off listening to the records.”
      The “Emma” star previously insisted that it didn’t matter that director Gabriel Range wasn’t given the rights to use Bowie’s music.
      He said, “From the start, Gabriel was not seeking the permission of the estate or the rights of the songs.”
      “Nobody is interested in me singing David Bowie songs, just like I’m not interested in Rami Malek singing Queen songs.”

      Reports of Tom Cruise Bringing COVID-19 Robots to 'Mission: Impossible 7' Set Debunked

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      It was previously said that the Ethan Hunt depicter and producer of the movie bought robots to enforce safety on the film’s set after two crew members broke COVID-19 protocols.

      Jan 16, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Having been known for going great lengths to ensure safety on the “Mission: Impossible VII” set, Tom Cruise has been reported taking an extreme measure to enforce COVID-19 protocols. The actor and producer of the action film series was said to have bought two robots to patrol the set.
      As filming is reportedly set to resume in the U.K. later this week before moving to Dubai, “Tom is so serious about making sure the shoot isn’t shut down that he’s splashed out on these robots as he can’t be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves,” a source told The Sun.
      The robots, which reportedly can administer on-the-spot COVID-19 tests, were described by a source as “really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It’s like the Terminator only not as violent.”

        See also…

      A rep from the “Mission: Impossible VII” production has not responded to the story, but /Film’s source has begged to differ. Debunking the reports of Cruise bringing robots to the set, the source told the site “the story is inaccurate and confirmed that there are no robots on set.”
      Cruise was caught launching into an expletive-laden rant on the London set of “M:I 7” in December 2020 after two crew members broke COVID-19 protocols. He reportedly spotted two assistants huddled around a monitor, watching playback and ignoring social distancing rules he had helped to introduce.
      In an audio obtained by The Sun, the 58-year-old actor was heard yelling at the crew, “I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever! And if you don’t do it, you’re fired, and I see you do it again you’re f**king gone. And if anyone in this crew does it… And you, don’t you ever f**king do it again. That’s it. No apologies.”
      His co-star Vanessa Kirby later came to Cruise’s defense, telling Extra in an interview earlier this month, “I think being safe is the message for everybody, really.” The actress, whose sister works as part of the assistant’s director’s team on the film, added, “For me, seeing my sister doing it on the ground and every day coming home from work and it all going well, it was all inspiring. The whole industry has been shut down – cinemas, theaters, film sets. Seeing her go and do it and be one of the first ones up gave me hope.”
