      'Black Panther 2' to Explore Other Characters and Different Subcultures

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      According to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, the upcoming second ‘Black Panther’ movie will focus on other characters while also honoring and respecting Chadwick Boseman’s legacy.

      Jan 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Kevin Feige has insisted “Black Panther 2” “always” intended to focus on other characters.
      The Marvel Studios boss confirmed the upcoming sequel will not feature CGI footage of the late Chadwick Boseman – who died of cancer last August (20) – nor would his role as T’Challa be recast, but stressed that the focus on the film was never intended to be on his character.
      “So much of the comics and that first movie is the world of Wakanda,” he told Deadline. “Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story. We’re not going to have a CG Chadwick and we’re not recasting T’Challa.”

      Kevin went on to praise writer-and-director Ryan Coogler for his “genius” work and, while the late actor won’t feature in the movie, he promised the film will also “honour and respect” Chadwick’s legacy.
      “Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great solace, so it was always about furthering the mythology and the inspiration of Wakanda,” he continued. “There’s also the task of honouring and respecting the ongoing learnings and teachings from Chad as well.”
      The sequel will see the return of familiar faces like Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, and Letitia Wright.
      Other details of the project are still scarce, but words ran rampant on the internet that Marvel considered passing the torch to M’Baku who’s played by Winston Duke in the first film. The warrior protested T’Challa being the new king in the 2018 movie.

      Jack Quaid Defends His Character for Killing Amandla Stenberg's Rue in 'The Hunger Games'

      by

      Lionsgate

      The actor, who starred in the 2012 big screen adaption of the popular Suzanne Collins novel, reveals his feelings about his character Marvel killing 12-year-old Rue in the survival battle.

      Jan 11, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jack Quaid has defended his character for killing Amandla Stenberg’s in “The Hunger Games”. The actor, who starred in the 2012 big screen adaption of the popular Suzanne Collins novel, revealed the reason why his character Marvel killed Rue in the sci-fi/action movie.
      The 28-year-old offered his explanation on Twitter after a fan posted a screenshot of him in the film. The individual asked, “Wait … @JackQuaid92 killed Rue?” In response to the tweet, he replied, “Oh s**t that’s right. Sorry.”
      Despite expressing his comical remorse, the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid justified the murder. “In all fairness, I met my demise VERY quickly afterwards. I was brainwashed by my luxurious District 1 upbringing. But yes incredibly sorry,” he spilled on his character’s fate in another tweet.

      Jack Quaid explained why his character in ‘The Hunger Games’ killed Rue.

      Jack’s confession prompted his fans to become lightheartedly upset at him. One individual noted, “Still mad at you for that, BTW.” Another penned, “Yeah, and I’m still pissed at you! But I love you man!” A third asked in disbelief, “Wait wtf that was you?! you evil man jack quaid.”
      In the 2012 movie, Jack’s Marvel accidentally killed 12-year-old Rue during the 74th annual event of The Hunger Games. He initially attempted to spear Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen. Katniss eventually shot Marvel in the chest with her arrow which led to his death.
      “The Hunger Games” aside, Jack is currently starring on Amazon Primes’ series titled “The Boys”. Speaking about his character on the show, he told Daman’s Magazine in June 2019, “In ‘The Boys’, I play Hughie. He’s a nerdy, somewhat sheltered everyman whose life changes in a fraction of second.”
      “He’s then recruited by a shadowy organization of people trying to take down rogue superheroes,” he added. “It was absolutely delightful to play a character that changes so much from episode to episode. I’ve never done that before and it was so much fun.”

      'Home Alone 2' Fans Demand Removal of Trump's Cameo Following Capitol Riot

      by

      20th Century Fox

      People call for the movie to digitally edit the scene featuring the outgoing president and replace him with Barack Obama or Joe Biden after he incited the violent protest at the Capitol Hill.

      Jan 11, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Donald Trump’s desire to leave longtime legacy with his presidency has backfired. As his days in the office are numbered, the outgoing president has been blamed for the Capitol Hill riot, banned on Twitter and now he’s threatened to be cut from “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”.
      In the wake of the violent protest that caused the death of five people, including a cop, fans of the movie call for removal of Trump’s cameo. In the 1992 cult Christmas film, the 45th POTUS is featured in a scene where Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister asks Trump for directions while lost in New York.
      “Digitally remove him from Home Alone 2 next,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another tweeted, “Disney should remove Donald Trump from Home Alone 2.” Some others demanded that Trump be replaced with former president Barack Obama or Trump’s successor Joe Biden in the scene, with someone having launched a Change.org petition for the replacement.

      Taking matter into their own hands, some Twitter folks have gone as far as altering the scene and replacing Trump with various public figures, including Christopher Plummer, Keanu Reeves, a “Star Wars” character as well as an older version of Culkin.
      Prior to this, Trump’s cameo in “Home Alone 2” was cut by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from the broadcast during the 2019 Christmas. The move was made to make more room for commercials.
      Meanwhile, back in November 2020, the movie director Chris Columbus revealed that Trump was “bullying” his way into the movie as he demanded to be in the sequel in exchange for a permit to shoot in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.

      Laverne Cox Quits Sex Industry Documentary Amid Backlash

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ star announces she has decided to pull out of the upcoming documentary about sex workers after the production comes under fire.

      Jan 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Laverne Cox has pulled out of a film about sex workers following a backlash.
      The “Orange Is the New Black” star had been due to executive produce “Sell/Buy/Date” – a documentary based on Sarah Jones’ one-woman show – alongside Meryl Streep and Rashida Jones. However, the production has faced criticism for potentially contributing to the stigma around sex work.
      Tagging Laverne in a post, one Twitter user wrote, “Just what the world needs. Another movie where non SWers debate whether sex work is exploitative or empowering.”
      “This project is everything you’re supposedly against. Stop trying to tell sw stories by ignoring and doxxing them. (sic)”
      Another added, “As a sex worker– I get being misrepresented. I mean — people in Hollywood are still doing SWer documentaries without talking to actual sexworkers. (sic)”
      In response, Laverne explained she was pulling out of the project because she didn’t feel she is in an “emotional place” to deal with any of the outrage.
      In a statement, she shared, “When I agreed to come on as an executive producer of Sell, Buy Date I did so because I was so deeply moved by Sarah Jones’ brilliant play and her unbelievable, undeniable talent as an artist, as an actor. I signed on to support her incredible talent.”
      “I have so much love for her as a human being. But I am not in an emotional place to deal with the outrage by some around my participation in this project. So I have decided to pull out.”

        See also…

      “To be clear, I am no longer involved in any capacity in Sell. Buy, Date because I have to take care of my mental, physical and emotional health. That is all I have to say on the matter. (sic)”
      The 48-year-old star went on to post an old video in which she discussed the need to decriminalise sex work.
      Director-and-actress Sarah – who played multiple characters inspired by real people in her 2016 sex industry play – later wished Laverne well and thanked her for her support so far.
      She tweeted, “I’m so grateful to you Laverne for coming on the journey with me thus far, and I’m looking forward to continuing my work on the film, and only ask that everyone give Laverne her space while keeping an open mind about the project before judging it.”
      The documentary will reportedly focus on inequality of race, sexism and poverty, as well as in criminal justice, through the lens of the debate surrounding the sex industry and will explore whether sex work is exploitative or empowering.
      Sarah has defended the documentary and urged people not to write off the project before seeing it.
      She wrote, “As a Black feminist artist, I have always centered the stories of traditionally marginalised people, especially women and femmes struggling for liberation and self-determination. My sisters in the sex industry are no exception.”
      “I am committed to deep listening to folks with lived experience, not only in my interviews but also in those we hire behind the scenes.”

      Daisy Ridley Opens Up About the Not So Good Side of Joining 'Star Wars'

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      The 28-year-old actress who plays the lead heroine in the new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy talks about the downside of being in one of the biggest movie franchises in Hollywood.

      Jan 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Daisy Ridley has been left scared by “Star Wars” fans turning up at her house.
      The 28-year-old actress became a household name when she was cast as Rey in the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy and, although she had the “best time” making the movies, she admitted such a high-profile role brought with it a lot of unwanted attention.
      She told Tatler magazine, “Star Wars was ‘This Thing.’ And then it was ‘This Thing That Came to an End.’ It hasn’t always been easy.”
      “There are things (about being in Star Wars) I don’t like talking about, because it’s not the good side. People turn up at your doorstep, that’s scary.”
      “And I’ve been followed, that’s a bit ‘woah.’ But in terms of the actual experience?”

        See also…

      “I had the best time. And now I’m out of it, I feel like I want to work really hard and honour the decision of the people that cast me.”
      The star went on to admit she will always be baffled as to why she was chosen for the role.
      She said, “I just think there will always be a question, ‘why was it me? That will always be there. Why me?’ ”
      However, she’s reached a point where she needs to stop questioning her success and just accept her luck was in.
      She added, “I know there were a thousand other actresses who could have done it. I guess ultimately it came to a point where I decided I have to be OK with this.”
      “I got this magical piece of luck. The stars aligned. I have to be OK with the amazing chance. That’s it.”
