      Henry Golding's Wife Approves of His 'Monsoon' Gay Love Scenes

      by

      WENN

      According to the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ actor, his wife Liv Lo is ‘more excited’ than he is about his intimate scenes with co-star Parker Sawyers in his new movie.

      Jan 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actor Henry Golding’s wife is the biggest fan of his same-sex love scenes with his “Monsoon” co-star Parker Sawyers.
      The “Crazy Rich Asians” star, who is married to Liv Lo, had to get intimate with his hunky castmate in the Hong Khaou movie, but Golding had no problem playing gay because their chemistry felt so natural.
      He said, “A lot of people were like, ‘Are you worried about having love scenes with a man on set?’ I was like, ‘No!’ ”
      “I come from an understanding that love is love… It doesn’t matter if you’re Black, Latino, gay, straight, bi, it’s that feeling of yearning and that return of that.”
      “When I was talking to Hong in L.A., he already had Parker in mind for the role and so I Googled his name and his image and was like, ‘D**n, he’s handsome, he’s tall, he works out… I could be in worse positions!’ ”
      “We hit it off. Parker is such a lovely guy. It felt so natural and Hong created a really safe environment on set and that’s what you hope for as an actor on any production.”
      And Golding wasn’t the only one comfortable with Sawyers’ casting – his wife was raving about their movie coupling too.

      “I think my wife was more excited about Parker than I was – trust me, she was loving it!” he laughed.
      Henry is aware of the “sensitivity” surrounding straight actors portraying LGBTQ roles onscreen, but he felt he could justify his role as Kit in the film because the character’s sexuality wasn’t the focus of the story.
      He explained to Attitude magazine, “We live in times where it is a sensitive topic to have a straight actor playing a gay role. From my point of view, with this particular role, it was the fact that his journey wasn’t hinged on the fact he is gay.”
      “It’s almost like, yes, he’s a young gay man, but the bigger issue is who he is as a person.
      “I’m going to accept this role because of the journey it represents in this man. It’s not a journey into his queerness. It’s a journey into his history.”
      “I feel as though when it comes to important historical figures, characters that are defined by being from the community, you really need to take a moment to think, this is important for the LGBTQ community to be a part of.”
      “The question has to be asked of me: why did you even consider this role? This should be the case. It can’t go unquestioned because there lies a problem in itself. You need to hold people responsible for their decisions.”
      “They’re conversations that need to be had. You can’t turn a blind eye, you need to keep people in check, that’s the most important thing.”

      Ben Whishaw Never Received Full Script of James Bond Movie 'No Time to Die'

      by

      Sony Pictures

      The ‘Paddington’ actor describes the making of the latest James Bond movie ‘a difficult journey’ partly because of the way director Cory Fukunaga works.

      Jan 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ben Whishaw found making the latest James Bond movie, “No Time to Die”, a “difficult journey.”
      The 40-year-old actor reprised his role as Q in the latest James Bond movie – which is now due for release in April 2021, having been pushed back a year due to the coronavirus pandemic – but finds it difficult to talk about the film, largely because he never received a full script and because of the way director Cary Fukunaga works.
      He said, “Partly because it was long ago. Although it wasn’t that long ago, it does feel like it. But also, we never did get the full script. I did my bits not in chronological order, so I find it hard (to talk about).”
      “I’m not allowed to tell you what happens in the story, and even if I was I couldn’t, because of the way that it happened. But I can say that very late in the day I give him some technology that helps.”

        See also…

      Asked if he didn’t get a full script due to a fear of leaks, he said, “It’s partly the secrecy that always surrounds it, but on this one, to be honest, it was a difficult journey. Although it was part-intentional, the director works in quite an improvisational way and we had a very tight deadline. But as I say, they don’t tell us anything.”
      The “Mary Poppins Returns” actor admitted he often feels uncomfortable on set because he’s so “afraid” of meeting new people and struggles to make small talk.
      He said in a recent interview, “I get anxious that I’m really bad at small talk. And I’ve been doing a lot of hanging around on set, where I should be doing lots of small-talking. I’m just quite s**t at it. I don’t know what to talk to people about.”
      “I get anxious about it, so now I just think, ‘I’ll sit here quietly and do my work,’ or I get overwhelmed. There are so many people and I find it quite draining.”

      'Superman' Director Richard Donner Not Fan of 'Cynical and Depressing' Superhero Movies

      by

      YouTube

      The Hollywood filmmaker who helmed the Christopher Reeve-fronted DC movie describes the ‘dark and bleak and angry’ portrayal of superheroes as ‘disappointment.’

      Jan 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Superman” director Richard Donner has become disillusioned with “cynical and depressing” comic book movies.
      The filmmaker – who was at the helm of the 1978 DC Comics blockbuster – has hit out at the trend of darker superhero movies, and called for “the opposite” as a true escape from real-life issues.
      “When you see it done right, by my standards, it’s so fulfilling. I’m very happy and proud when I see them. When it’s done wrong, it’s such a disappointment…” he told Britain’s The Telegraph newspaper.
      “There are so many people that make superheroes so cynical, it’s depressing. When they’re dark and bleak and angry with themselves and the world, I don’t find it entertaining. I think there’s enough reality going on for that. We just got over four years of that. I think we crave the opposite.”

        See also…

      Donner was replaced for 1980’s “Superman II” – despite having worked on scenes for the follow-up – as comedy director Richard Lester reshot a new version.
      However, the original filmmaker had a home video release of “Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut” in 2006.
      Similarly, “Justice League” director Zack Snyder is releasing his own director’s cut on HBO Max, after departing the project and being replaced by Joss Whedon – who reshaped the blockbuster.
      Donner, 90, insisted he didn’t know any of this – and doesn’t even know who “Man of Steel” filmmaker Snyder is – but he suggested it’s “wonderful” that he’s getting another chance.

      Ray Fisher Slams 'Dangerous' DC Films President, Says He'll Never Work With Him

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The tension between Fisher and Warner Bros. started after Fisher, who plays Cyborg in DC superhero movies, alleged unprofessional conduct on the set of ‘Justice League’ back in July.

      Dec 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Fans seemingly won’t see Ray Fisher’s Cyborn in DC’s upcoming movie “Justice League”. The actor took to Twitter on Wednesday, December 30 to put DC Films president Walter Hamada on blast, calling him “the most dangerous kind of enabler.”
      “His lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept 4th hit-piece, sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation,” Fisher wrote on the blue bird alongside a link to Hamada’s Sunday interview with the New York Times. Later, he vowed that he “will not participate in any production associated with him,” before adding, “A >E,” which refers to “Accountability >Entertainment.”

      Ray Fisher blasted DC Film president Walter Hamada.
      The tension between Fisher and Warner Bros. started after Fisher alleged unprofessional conduct on the set of “Justice League” back in July. “Joss Wheadon’s [sic] on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable,” he tweeted at the time.

        See also…

      In response to the allegations, WarnerMedia released a statement on the evening of the Friday of Labor Day weekend. “In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Walter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of Justice League. The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked him to reprise his role as Cyborg in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Flash movie, together with other members of the Justice League,” said the statement.
      “Notably, Mr. Hamada also told Mr. Fisher that he would elevate his concerns to WarnerMedia so they could conduct an investigation. At no time did Mr. Hamada ever ‘throw anyone under the bus,’ as Mr. Fisher has falsely claimed, or render any judgments about the Justice League production, in which Mr. Hamada had no involvement, since filming occurred before Mr. Hamada was elevated to his current position,” the statement continued.
      The studio added, “While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator.” It also denied not reaching out to Fisher about the investigation, saying, “This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator.”
      Fisher reprised his Cyborg role in the extra shoots of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” 10-episode cut, which is scheduled to hit HBO Max next year. Additionally, he participated in the DC Fandome panel for the feature recut and was in talks to return as Cyborg in the upcoming “The Flash” movie. It remains to be seen if things will go as planned considering the tension.

      Gemma Arterton Intimidated to Play Dusty Springfield in Movie

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Clash of the Titans’ actress admits to feeling ‘terrified’ to portray the legendary ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ hitmaker in an upcoming ‘intimate’ biopic.

      Dec 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gemma Arterton is “a bit terrified” of portraying Dusty Springfield in a movie.
      The “Clash of the Titans” actress will play the late music legend in an upcoming biopic and while she’s excited about the “intimate” project, she admitted she’s daunted by the idea of stepping into the “Son of a Preacher Man” singer’s shoes.
      “It won’t be sort of like Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman – it’s not that kind of film,” she told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “It’s much more intimate. I am kind of a bit terrified by it but at the same time really excited.”
      “It’s about a specific moment in her life when she made Dusty in Memphis and went to America for the first time and did that amazing incredible album and defied everybody’s expectations.”

        See also…

      And Gemma confirmed she’s been working hard at improving her singing.
      “Her voice … you know. We will see! I have done a little bit of practicing. I am not ready to publicly out her yet. I really hope I get to do it justice,” she smiled.
      The movie will focus on a period where Dusty fled to Memphis to escape scrutiny over her sexuality, but damaged her voice with drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Gemma admitted it was a really “bleak” time in the “Wishin’ and Hopin” singer’s life.
      “Her career just slid away from her in the 70s and didn’t come back until the 80s when she worked with The Pet Shop Boys,” Gemma said.
      “There was a really bleak time – she used to go into drag clubs and do Dusty Springfield acts and pretend to be Dusty in order to win $100 or $50. And sometimes she didn’t win!”

      Connie Nielsen Demands 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' Include Her Stunt Cut by Joss Whedon

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The actress, who plays Amazon queen Hippolyta in the DC Extended Universe, only agreed to the ‘Justice League’ reshoots after director Zack Snyder said yes to her demand.

      Dec 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Connie Nielsen only agreed to be part of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” reshoots if he agreed to include a stunt she filmed which was cut from director Joss Whedon’s movie.
      Like many of the stars who shot scenes for “Justice League”, the actress was far from happy with the blockbuster, which was completed by Whedon after Snyder was forced to step down.
      But when Zack agreed to fan requests to rework his vision of the superhero movie, Connie was one of the first people he called.

      The actress, who plays Hippolyta in the “Wonder Woman” films, reveals fans will see more of her and her fellow Amazons in the new project than they did in the original 2017 theatrical release of “Justice League”.
      “Zack called me to ask if I would be OK with a reissue of the film with changes,” Nielsen tells The Hollywood Reporter, “and I asked him, ‘Well, will you bring back the Amazon chapter the way you had written it and had filmed it?’ And he said, ‘Absolutely.’ And then I said, ‘And Zack, will you also bring back my quite incredible stunt, running up the walls?’ And he said, ‘You got it.’ So I said, ‘Yeah, definitely. You’ve got my blessing. Absolutely.’ ”
      Connie admits she was shocked to see little of what she filmed in the original “Justice League”, “What was really sad was how much stuff we filmed that wasn’t in the film. I think that’s part of what made Justice League less cohesive as a viewing experience. The intent was not the same during the editing as it was during shooting.”
      Snyder’s Directors Cut will arrive in four parts on HBO Max in 2021.

      'Star Wars' Novelist Blocked From Writing Potential Romance Between Finn and Rey

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      The author hired to pen ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ novel reveals that Disney bosses blocked him from writing any potential romance between John Boyega’s and Daisy Ridley’s characters.

      Dec 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Novelist Alan Dean Foster has claimed he was told to remove a potential romance between John Boyega’s Finn and Daisy Ridley’s Rey in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
      The writer, who was brought on to pen the official novelisation for the 2015 movie, also known as “Episode VII”, by J.J. Abrams.
      But in a new interview with Midnight’s Edge, Foster has alleged his initial idea for a budding romance between Finn and Rey was shot down by bosses at Disney.
      “There were a couple of things in there, and a couple of things that happened subsequently that bothered me,” he said. “I’m going to tell you one thing they made me take out because enough time has passed, I don’t think it matters. There was obviously the beginnings of a relationship between John Boyega’s character and Daisy Ridley’s character. I expected to see that developed further in Episode VIII (The Last Jedi), and zero happened with it.”

        See also…

      Instead, the movies tried to develop a romance between Finn and Kelly Marie Tran’s Rose Tico – but the plot was abandoned in 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker”.
      LucasFilm has yet to comment on Foster’s allegations.
      John Boyega previously slammed Disney bosses for allegedly using the black characters in the new “Star Wars” movies as tokens. The “Attack the Block” star alleged his character was marketed as “much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side.”
      He later revealed that one of the producers reached out to him following his complaint, “I got on a phone call with Kathleen Kennedy and she verbally showed support and we got to have a really nice, transparent, honest conversation that is beneficial to both of us.”

      Steven Soderberg Admits to Working on 'Philosophical Sequel' to 'Contagion'

      by

      WENN/Apega

      During an interview on on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ director reveals he has reteamed with the 2011 thriller film’s screenwriter Scott Z. Burns to develop its follow-up.

      Dec 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is working to fast-track a “philosophical sequel” to “Contagion” in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
      The “Ocean’s Eleven” director reveals he’s reteamed with the 2011 thriller’s screenwriter Scott Z. Burns to develop the follow-up.
      “I’ve got a project in development that Scott Burns is working with me on, that’s a kind of philosophical sequel to ‘Contagion’ but in a different context,” Soderbergh explained on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.
      “You’ll kind of look at the two of them as kind of paired but very different hair colours. So, Scott and I had been talking about, ‘So, what’s the next iteration of a ‘Contagion’-type story?’ We have been working on that. We should probably hotfoot it a little bit.”

        See also…

      The news emerges months after “Contagion”, which starred Gwyneth Paltrow as a woman who brings home a mystery viral illness during a business trip to Asia, soared in popularity on streaming services as people tried to make sense of the coronavirus crisis.
      At the time, Burns insisted he wasn’t surprised by the pandemic, because during his research for the movie, he learned such a global outbreak was inevitable.
      “The scientists I spoke to, and there were a lot of them, all said that this was a matter of when, not if,” he told Slate in March. “So, I guess my feeling as someone who believes in science is that when scientists tell us those things, we would do well to listen.”
