      Gal Gadot Burst Into Tears Watching 'Wonder Woman 1984' for First Time

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Diana Prince depicter has a very reaction to the ‘Wonder Woman’ sequel, claiming that she was overwhelmed with emotions when she was watching it for the first time.

      Jan 10, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Gal Gadot was “caught off guard” by her emotions the first time she saw “Wonder Woman 1984”.
      The 35-year-old actress was so transported by the film – in which she plays Diana Prince and her titular alter ego – that she didn’t even think about her own involvement.
      She told HELLO! Magazine, “I can’t tell you about the moment in the movie that made me cry other than it happens at the very beginning.”
      “I’ve never experienced that before. I was watching and all of a sudden I wasn’t the actress, the producer, or anything on set.”
      “I was a little girl from a suburb in Israel watching this amazing character doing such incredible things. And I’m not an easy crier. I’m not the kind of woman who watches commercials and cries.”

      “I just had such a strong reaction to this movie and it caught me off guard. Usually, I save my crying for special occasions… like when I’m pregnant!”
      Gadot is proud her character has proven to be inspirational for so many people.
      She said, “It’s something I wasn’t really prepared for, so to see and hear the reaction from women, men, boys and girls, is just incredible.”
      And one fan, in particular, has stuck with her.
      She said, “There was one little boy I will always remember. He saw the movie and told his mother, ‘When I grow up, I want to be a woman.’ ”
      “It was all because of Wonder Woman and everything she stands for and symbolises.”

      David Hasselhoff on Working on New 'Knight Rider' Movie: I Have 'Emotional Hand' and 'Passion'

      by

      Instagram

      Despite not knowing whether he will appear in the upcoming movie, the 68-year-old actor portraying Michael Knight on the original TV action series admits to having invested in the conception of the flick.

      Jan 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – David Hasselhoff had an “emotional hand” in the conception of the new “Knight Rider” movie.
      The 68-year-old actor starred as crime-fighter Michael Knight in the TV action series between 1982 and 1986.
      Speaking to Consequence of Sound, the star revealed that he is invested in the upcoming movie – despite not knowing if he will have a role in the flick.
      He said, “The details I can share are I have an emotional hand in it and I have a passion.”
      “The guy who’s writing it is a major ‘Knight Rider’ fan. He sent me a picture of him in the ‘Knight Rider’ car. His name is T.J. Fixman.”

      Hasselhoff continued, “The concept, I don’t really know. I threw my hat into the ring as ‘nostalgia meets Knight Rider of today’, which is not a new ‘Knight Rider’, but a continuation of it.”
      “They want to do a script that has my approval on it. Whether I’m in it or not, or whether I approve of it, the answer is: I don’t know.”
      The “Baywatch” star had been hoping to bring “Knight Rider” – which follows the adventures of Michael Knight and his assistant KITT, an almost indestructible talking car – to the big screen for several years and is keen that this adaptation remains faithful to the TV series.
      “I had the rights for about 10 years to ‘Knight Rider’, and I couldn’t get a bite. And these guys have it now because of the timing, because of the resurgence of nostalgia, because the guy who’s doing it gets it,” he explained.
      “It’s not about a talking car. It’s about the relationship between Michael and KITT. And it’s also about the action and ‘one man can make a difference’. And if they do that, I’ll probably support it. If they don’t do that, they’ve hassled The Hoff.”

      Amy Adams to Have 'The Woman in the Window' Released on Netflix in First Half of 2021

      by

      20th Century Fox

      Director Joe Wright reveals that the upcoming thriller, which has been delayed multiple times due to COVID-19, had to undergo reshooting over the complexity of its original story.

      Jan 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Amy Adams’ “The Woman in the Window” will arrive on Netflix “in the first half of the year”.
      The much-delayed thriller was initially set to be released by Disney before being transferred to the streaming giant. It will no longer undergo a cinematic release amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
      According to Entertainment Weekly, the motion picture is due out on the service in the coming months.
      Amy is set to play the role of Dr. Anna Fox in the film, who hides away in her New York home, where she drinks excessively and spends time spying on her neighbours.

      After observing the close bond between the family who move in next door, she longs for a reunion with her own loved ones.
      However, things take a turn when she witnesses an act of violence.
      In addition to delays faced due to the global health crisis, director Joe Wright also had to reshoot some scenes because early viewers found the story too complex at times.
      “There were some plot points that people found a bit confusing — I would say possibly too opaque maybe,” the filmmaker told the publication. “So we had to go back and clarify certain points, but I think also we tried to make sure we didn’t oversimplify anything and make things too clear. “There’s an enjoyment in not knowing what’s going on, but at the same time, you have to give the audience something to hold on to — you have to lead them through the labyrinth of mystery and fear.”
      The cast also features Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore, Anthony Mackie and Tracy Letts – who also wrote the script for the project.

      Vanessa Kirby Defends Tom Cruise's Covid-19 Safety Rant on 'MI:7' Set

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The actress who plays White Widow in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise insists her co-star was angry because he’s just trying to ensure everyone was safe on the set.

      Jan 9, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Vanessa Kirby has defended Tom Cruise for his now infamous rant on the “Mission: Impossible 7” set last month (Dec20), insisting the actor was just trying to ensure everyone’s safety amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
      In a clip shared online by Britain’s The Sun newspaper, Tom lost his cool when he spotted two assistants huddled around a monitor, watching playback and ignoring social distancing rules he had helped to introduce.
      “If I see you do it again, you’re f**king gone. And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it,” he was heard shouting in the audio clip.
      The outburst saw five staff members quit the project, according to reports, but Vanessa – who stars alongside Tom in the film franchise – insisted he was just doing his bit to keep everyone safe.

      Asked for her opinion on Tom’s rant during an interview with “Extra”, Vanessa replied, “I think being safe is the message for everybody, really.”
      The actress’ sister works as part of the assistant’s director’s team on the film, with Vanessa adding, “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, theatres, film sets. Seeing her go and do it and be one of the first ones up gave me hope.”
      Vanessa also revealed she’s going to be returning to the “Mission: Impossible 7” set “next week or something” and is looking forward to getting stuck back into the physically-demanding role.
      “I’m really excited. I think with every Mission… the stunts get riskier and there’s ones on this that have been terrifying, and there’s many more to be filmed… It’s a pleasure for all of us to be back,” she smiled.

      Laverne Cox Exits Sex Industry Doc Following 'Outrage' for the Sake of Her 'Mental Health'

      by

      Instagram

      As one of the executive producers alongside Meryl Streep and Rashida Jones, the ‘Orange Is the New Black’ alum is under fire for supporting Sarah Jones’ project that would examine the sex industry.

      Jan 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Laverne Cox has parted ways with Sarah Jones (II) in making a documentary about sex workers. The actress has decided to pull out from “Sell/Buy/Date”, in which she was originally set to serve as executive producer alongside Meryl Streep and Rashida Jones, following a string of criticism from the sex industry workers.
      “Just what the world needs,” one person sarcastically wrote on Twitter. “Another movie where non SWers debate whether sex work is exploitative or empowering.” Tagging @Lavernecox, the critic added, “this project is everything you’re supposedly against. Stop trying to tell sw stories by ignoring and doxxing them.”
      Another voiced disapproval of the project, “As a sex worker– I get being misrepresented. I mean– people in Hollywood are still doing SWer documentaries without talking to actual sexworkers.”
      Noticing the negative feedback, Laverne took to Twitter to announce her withdrawal from the documentary. “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,” she began her statement.
      She explained her decision to exit the project, “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.”
      “To be clear I am no longer involved in any capacity in ‘Sell. Buy, Date.’,” she stressed, citing her mental health as her priority, “I have to take care of my mental, physical and emotional health, This is all I have to say on the matter.”

      Laverne Cox announced her exit from ‘Sell/Buy/Date’.

      Respecting Cox’s decision, Jones responded to the “TRANSform Me” co-host’s announcement. “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,” she wrote back to the actress, before asking “that everyone give Laverne her space while keeping an open mind about the project before judging it.”

      Sarah Jones responded to Cox’s tweet.
      Jones herself has addressed people’s concern about misinterpretation of sex workers in her upcoming movie. “As a Black feminist artist, I have always centered the stories of traditionally marginalized people, especially women and femmes struggling for liberation and self-determination. My sisters in the sex industry are no exception,” she said in her own statement. “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.”

      She added in a statement to THR, “As I do with all my work, I’m approaching this documentary with compassion and in an attempt to understand the nuance and complexity of how sex work affects everybody, especially women of color. For too long, BIPOC women have had our narratives controlled by others. Thanks to this new moment, I have the opportunity to finally share mine.”
      She went on assuring, “I am committed to making this an inclusive, respectful documentary about my personal experience as a Black woman, informed by various voices of people with lived experience around this topic. As a feminist who cares deeply about the wellbeing and freedom of ALL people, I am looking forward to sharing my story in the creative way I know how. I hope those who have never lived in my shoes allow me the chance to express my own experience as a Black woman.”
      “Sell/Buy/Date” is billed as a documentary that will tackle the themes of “inequality (criminal justice, race, sexism, poverty) through the lens of the debate around the sex industry. The documentary asks the question, ‘Is sex work exploitative or empowering?’ ”

      Raven Goodwin Celebrates Hattie McDaniel in Casting Announcement for New Biopic

      by

      WENN/Judy Eddy

      ‘Behind the Smile’ will detail the racism and racial challenges the ‘Gone With the Wind’ icon, who made history by becoming the first African-American ever to win an Oscar, had to face in Hollywood.

      Jan 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Snatched” star Raven Goodwin is bringing trailblazing actress Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American ever to win an Oscar, back to life for a new biopic.
      The “Gone With the Wind” icon’s inspiring life story is the subject of a new independent movie titled, “Behind the Smile”, and now Goodwin has been cast to portray her on film.
      The project, written by Gregory Blair, will detail the racism and racial challenges she had to face as a black actress in Hollywood in the 1930s and ’40s, and the backlash she endured from her own community for taking on stereotypical maid or slave roles onscreen, reports Deadline.
      Her role as housemaid Mammy in “Gone With the Wind” earned her the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award, but she was forced to sit separately from her co-stars at the ceremony due to segregation rules, while she was banned from attending the movie’s premiere as it was held at an all-white theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.

      Celebrating the casting news in a statement about the biopic, Goodwin writes, “Hattie YOU did it. Because of your legacy, we are able to write and portray OURSELVES in whatever light we choose. I am forever honored. I look forward to bringing this important historical and relevant life story to the screen.”

      McDaniel, who died of breast cancer in 1952, was most recently played onscreen by Queen Latifah on the Ryan Murphy Netflix series, “Hollywood”.
      The project won’t be her first time portraying a real-life character on camera – Goodwin also co-starred with Latifah and Mary J. Blige in last year’s TV biopic “The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel”, chronicling the rise of sibling trio The Clark Sisters.

      Jordan Peele Has No Plan to Return to Acting Gig

      by

      WENN

      The director behind critically-acclaimed movies ‘Get Out’ and Us’ insists he is done with acting as he doesn’t enjoy watching his own onscreen performances.

      Jan 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jordan Peele has ruled out taking on any more acting gigs as he hates watching himself on screen.
      The star made a name for himself in shows such as “Fargo” and “Mad TV” before going on to find fame behind the camera, directing flicks including 2018’s “Get Out” and “Us” in 2019.
      However, in a new interview with Bradley Whitford as part of an ActBlue fundraiser, Jordan admitted he can’t see himself acting in the future.
      “I like watching my movies. I can watch the films I direct (but) watching me perform just feels like, it’s a bad kind of masturbatory. It’s masturbation you don’t enjoy.”

        See also…

      “I feel like I got to do so much and it is a great feeling. When I think about those great moments when you’re basking in something you said that feels funny. When I think about all that, I think I got enough.”
      Peele is currently working on an unknown horror film project, with his next directorial offering coming in July 2022.
      Jordan Peele was last seen on the big screen in Spike Lee’s 2018 biographical crime movie “BlacKkKlansman”. He later appeared as himself in documentary film “Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror” and lent his voice to one of the animated characters in “Toy Story 4”.
      Last year, he explained why his movies always centered on black characters. “The way I look at it, I get to cast black people in my movies,” he said. “I feel fortunate to be in this position where I can say to Universal, ‘I want to make a $20 million horror movie with a black family’. And they say yes. I don’t see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie. Not that I don’t like white dudes, but I’ve seen that movie.”

      'Welcome to the Dark Ages' Gets Streaming Release After The KLF Give Thumbs Up

      by

      The Paul Duane-directed movie follows musician duo Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty from their 2017 reunion as they become ‘new age undertakers’ building The People’s Pyramid.

      Jan 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Art pranksters and musicians The KLF’s reunion movie, “Welcome to the Dark Ages”, has been released just days after the duo allowed tracks to be uploaded to major streaming services for the first time.
      Paul Duane’s new movie follows KLF stars Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty from their 2017 reunion as they become “new age undertakers” building The People’s Pyramid – a monument featuring bricks forged from the ashes of the dead.
      A synopsis for “Welcome to the Dark Ages” reads, “Welcome to the Dark Ages begins in the 23rd century, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland which was once the northern English City of Liverpool. In the district once known as Toxteth, a mysterious pyramid stands among demolished buildings.”
      “Returning to the late 20th century, we revisit the origins of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The JAMs – otherwise known as the KLF – who became the top-selling singles act in the world and then left the music business, burned £1 million of their own money and signed a contract agreeing to a 23-year silence.”
      “23 years later, in Liverpool, this silence ended at 23 seconds past midnight on 23 August, 2017. On this day the KLF were no longer pop stars but had become undertakers, and were planning to build a 23-foot-high pyramid in Toxteth, Liverpool, made from bricks which would each contain 23 grams of a dead person’s ashes, proposed as a new British ritual for the commemoration of the dead.”

      The film tracks the first year of this project.
      Duane admits the filming process was tough at times because Cauty and Drummond are notoriously camera shy.
      “The band hadn’t agreed to be filmed since the early 90s, but I persevered, and they eventually agreed,” he says. “We started filming. On day two they told me they were no longer interested in taking part in the film. I just kept filming, and they allowed me to film anything I wanted as long as I didn’t ask them anything or try to make them do anything. When I showed the finished film to the JAMs, they asked me to destroy it.”
      “I disagreed with their judgement. Eventually, they came around to agreeing with me that the film should be released after all. So here it is.”
      The film is available to rent or buy here: https://burning-bridges.vhx.tv/products/welcome-to-the-dark-ages.
