      Jessica Chastain Ensures Her Co-Stars Share Ownership and Profits of New Movie

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ actress shares ownership of movie ‘The 355’ with her co-stars and she hopes ‘it creates a new model in which artists can own their work.’

      Jan 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jessica Chastain ensured she and her “The 355” co-stars shared in the film’s profits by becoming owners of the movie.
      The actress stars alongside Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Marion Cotillard, and Fan Bingbing in the American action spy film directed by Simon Kinberg. And in an interview with Shape magazine, Jessica opened up about how she savvily worked out that she and her fellow actors could get more money if they shared ownership of the project.
      “A lot of times, our names are used to sell movies, and that’s how the money is raised for them,” she explained. “So I thought, If our names are being sold, then we need to be the owners of the film.”

      “(I told my co-stars) if you do this movie, you’re going to have to agree to sell it, because you will be an owner. We’re going to sell the distribution rights to raise the budget for the film, and then everyone owns a portion of the box office.” Jessica, who has long been an advocate for equal pay, added she’s “a bit shocked” she “got away with it.”
      “I don’t know if anything like this has been done before,” she said. “But hopefully it creates a new model in which artists can own their work.”
      “The 355” also stars Sebastian Stan and Edgar Ramirez.
      The producers were criticized for hiring Spanish actress Penelope Cruz to play the role of a Colombian spy, but Jessica Chastain defended the casting. She claimed the role was originally conceived as being Brazilian but Penelope did not feel comfortable playing a character from Brazil.

      Instagram

      Mary McCartney has been officially announced to sit behind the lens for the upcoming project that documents the untold story of the famed studio in London.

      Jan 13, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Paul McCartney’s filmmaker daughter Mary is to direct a feature-length documentary about the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.
      “If These Walls Could Sing”, the untold story of the studios where the Beatles recorded their legendary “Abbey Road” album, will be produced by Oscar-winner John Battsek following a new development deal between his Ventureland and Mercury Studios.
      In a statement following news of the upcoming project, Mary said, “Some of my earliest memories as a young child come from time spent at Abbey Road. I’ve long wanted to tell the story of this historic place and I couldn’t be collaborating with a better team than John and Mercury Studios to make this creative ambition a reality.”

      A release date for “If These Walls Could Sing” has yet to be released, but it’s expected that it will drop in conjunction with the recording studios’ 90th anniversary celebrations, which will kick off in November this year (21).
      The project marks the first time Abbey Road has opened its doors for a feature length documentary, and will include an “all-star cast of interviews, unparalleled access to the studios and, of course, a spellbinding soundtrack,” a press release promised.
      Mary – the daughter of Paul and his late wife Linda McCartney – first made a name for herself as a photographer before taking on the screen, and now has seven directing credits to her name.
      She also produced a 2001 TV documentary called “Wingspan” about her father’s musical career post-Beatles.

      Ryan Reynolds Jokes About Manipulating Disney Into Agreeing to 'Deadpool 3' R-Rating

      by

      20th Century Fox

      The Merc with the Mouth depicter has a ‘full disclosure’ moment after Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirms that the ‘Deadpool 2’ sequel will be part of MCU and rated R.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds has spoken up after “Deadpool 3” is confirmed to be part of Marvel Cinematic Universe and have a R-rating. Deciding to get honest, the Canadian actor has admitted that he pulled some tricks in order to get Disney’s bosses greenlight the threequel.
      In his true sarcastic and comedic fashion, the Merc with the Mouth depicter joked on Twitter on Monday, January 11 that in order to get approval for “Deadpool 3”, “I showed them Spiderman 1 & 2 and told them it was Deadpool 1 & 2.”

      Ryan Reynolds joked about getting Disney’s approval for ‘Deadpool 3′ R-rating.
      Reynolds also took to Instagram to respond to the news of “Deadpool 3” update. Revealing his idea for the upcoming movie’s storyline, he jokingly pitched a crossover with a beloved character of Disney’s classic children’s animation, Bambi, as he posted, “First order of business: Find the guy who killed Bambi’s mom.”

      Feige answered fans’ long-burning question about “Deadpool 3” rating during an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub. “It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now,” he said.
      Revealing that sisters Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are currently writing the script, he went on sharing, “It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”
      Disney’s Bob Iger previously committed to keep the adult humor nature of “Deadpool” while talking with investors. “[‘Deadpool’] clearly has been and will be Marvel branded. But we think there might be an opportunity for a Marvel-R brand for something like ‘Deadpool’. As long as we let the audiences know what’s coming, we think we can manage that fine,” he promised.

      'Morbius' Delayed Again as Theatergoing Continues to Struggle Amid COVID-19 Crisis

      by

      Sony Pictures

      The Sony and Marvel superhero film starring Jared Leto as the titular character is pushed back seven months after previously moved from July 2020 to March 2021.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Morbius” fans now have to wait a little longer for the first live-action big screen adaptation of the Marvel superhero. Initially planned for a July 2020 release before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, the Sony and Marvel film is once again pushed back to October 8 as theatergoing continues to suffer from the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
      Back in April 2020, Sony Pictures bumped the release date of “Morbius” along with several other movies from their summer schedule due to the pandemic. The Daniel Espinosa-directed film starring Jared Leto was expected to arrive in March 19, but the current situation suggests it’s not feasible to restore the movie industry in less than three months.

      Other studios have also taken the same steps with their movies which were previously scheduled to open in early 2021, though there are still a few titles on the calendar for the first few months of the year. They include Sony’s new take on “Cinderella (2021)” starring Camila Cabello, which is due out on February 5, and Disney and 20th Century’s “The King’s Man” slated for March 12 release. It’s unclear if both studios will keep these movies’ current release dates.
      “Morbius” is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist suffering from a rare blood disease since his early childhood. “Determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease,” according to the official synopsis.
      Adria Arjona stars as Martine Bancroft, Morbius’s fiancee, Tyrese Gibson portrays Simon Stroud, an FBI agent tasked with hunting down Morbius, and Al Madrigal takes the role of Alberto Rodriguez, Stroud’s FBI partner. Michael Keaton is additionally set to reprise his “Spider-Man: Homecoming” role as Vulture.

      Sarah Jessica Parker Rules Out Recasting Kim Cattrall's Role in 'Sex and the City' Reboot

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Carrie Bradshaw depicter tells her fans that the role originally played by Kim Cattrall won’t be recast in the upcoming reboot because she’s isn’t part of the new story.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Sarah Jessica Parker has insisted Kim Cattrall’s role in “Sex and the City” won’t be recast.
      The actress – who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the infamous television series – is set to return to the programme as it makes its revival under the name, “And Just Like That…”
      And when one fan suggested Samantha Jones, who was originally played by Kim, should be recast as Jennifer Coolidge, Sarah told the follower, “We have some new stories to tell. We are excited.”
      One fan claimed Samantha won’t return because Sarah didn’t like Kim but she denied a feud.
      She replied, “No, I don’t dislike her. I’ve never said that. Never would. Samantha isn’t part of this story. But she will always be part of us. No matter where we are or what we do. X (sic)”
      And another follower admitted she would miss Kim and her character, which Sarah agreed.

      “We will too, we loved her so,” she responded.
      Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York Goldenblatt, are also set to return for the 10 episodes on HBO Max alongside Sarah as Carrie.
      The revival is due to enter production in late spring and is executive produced by Michael Patrick King.
      Despite the “Divorce” star’s statements, Kim first publicly spoke of her feud with Sarah Jessica three years ago, when she insisted she wasn’t “friends” with any of her Sex and the City co-stars, including Kristin and Cynthia.
      She said at the time, “We’ve never been friends. We’ve been colleagues and, in some ways, it’s a very healthy place to be.”
      The “Filthy Rich” star then said she didn’t know what Sarah Jessica’s “problem” was before later slamming her as “toxic” and “cruel.”
      Kim also blasted Sarah Jessica for reaching out to her following the death of her brother Chris Cattrall, who died in February 2018.

      'Bridgerton' Star Rege-Jean Page Reacts to James Bond Rumors

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘For the People’ actor is flattered to be linked to the James Bond movie following his role on the Netflix period drama as he considers it a ‘merit badge.’

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page has put an end to rumours of a romance with his “Bridgerton” co-star Phoebe Dynevor.
      The pair star as Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama, which has been a massive hit worldwide since its release. Their intimate relationship on screen has led to speculation they might be an item in real life, but Page was quick to shoot down the rumours during an interview with Access Hollywood.
      “I think that everything you need to know is on camera,” he laughed. “The sparky words, scripts and material are more than enough.”

        See also…

      Page’s admission about his relationship with Phoebe came after he also opened up about reports he’s in the running to take over from Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, after bookmakers’ odds were slashed for him to take on the part.
      “I think there might be an element of cultural translation to be done here,” he said. “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.”
      The new TV series is produced by Shonda Rhimes. It’s one of her projects for Netflix following her departure from ABC after working for the Alphabet for 15 years.
