      'Mad Max' Prequel Scheduled for 2023 Release

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The upcoming movie that is expected to focus on a young Furiosa before she teamed up with Max Rockatansky in the ‘Fury Road’ has been set for summer 2023 release.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The “Mad Max” prequel, starring “The Queen’s Gambit” star Anya Taylor-Joy, is set to be released on June 23, 2023.
      George Miller’s new movie, which will focus on the character of Furiosa, has had a release date scheduled by Warner Bros.
      Anya-Taylor Joy will play the lead role in the upcoming film, which tracks the story of of Imperator Furiosa before she teamed up with Max Rockatansky in “Mad Max: Fury Road”.
      The 24-year-old actress has taken over the part from Charlize Theron, who portrayed Furiosa in 2015’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” – the movie that revived the action franchise in which Tom Hardy replaced Mel Gibson in the role of Max.
      Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II have also been cast as the characters of Dementus and Pretorian respectively.

      George is producing the film with long-term partner Doug Mitchell and has penned the script with “Fury Road” co-writer Nico Lathouris.
      Anya recently explained how she is desperate to do her own stunts in the movie.
      The “Peaky Blinders” star said, “I’ve never wanted to do anything halfway and I have been looking forward to a role like this for my whole life. So yes, I will be doing as much as I can physically do.”
      Miller admitted he felt it was necessary to cast a younger actress in the flick as he did not feel the technology was good enough to de-age Charlize.
      The 75-year-old director said, “For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-ageing on Charlize, but I don’t think we’re nearly there yet.”
      “Despite the valiant attempts on The Irishman, I think there’s still an uncanny valley. Everyone is on the verge of solving it, particularly Japanese video-game designers, but there’s still a pretty wide valley, I believe.”

      Shia LaBeouf Fired by Olivia Wilde From Her Movie 'Don't Worry Darling'

      by

      WENN

      Rumor has it, the ‘Honey Boy’ actor didn’t leave Olivia Wilde’s movie on his own accord but being let go by the actress-turned-director and replaced by Harry Styles.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Olivia Wilde allegedly fired Shia LaBeouf from her new movie “Don’t Worry Darling” and replaced him with Harry Styles, according to a new report.
      Back in September, it was announced that Shia had dropped out because of a scheduling conflict, but now Variety sources claim Olivia felt she had to let him go.
      “Though shooting had not started yet when LaBeouf departed, insiders close to the project say LaBeouf displayed poor behavior and his style clashed with the cast and crew, including Wilde, who ultimately fired him,” a statement from the trade publication reads.
      “Wilde didn’t respond to requests for comment for this story. LaBeouf’s publicist declined to comment. A representative from New Line also declined to comment on the matter.”
      A source tells the outlet, “He is not an easy guy to work with.”

        See also…

      Wilde has also spoken out in support of singer and actress FKA twigs, who recently came forward with allegations of sexual and emotional abuse against Shia, her former boyfriend.
      Meanwhile, LaBeouf’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, has revealed the actor is planning to start 2021 in an intensive treatment facility to work on his issues.
      “Shia needs help and he knows that,” Holley tells Variety. “We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs.”
      Olivia Wilde is not the only star kicking Shia LaBeouf out of her project.
      Sia also distanced herself from the embattled actor following FKA twigs’ lawsuit. The “Chandelier” hitmaker said she was, too, was emotionally hurt by the actor during their fling. She cut him from her movie “Music” and recruited Kate Hudson as a replacement.

      Hugh Grant Initially Agreed With Criticisms Over Renee Zellweger's Casting as Bridget Jones

      by

      Miramax

      The ‘Two Weeks Notice’ actor reveals he was left unimpressed at first by the casting of an American actress to play the lead role in the British rom-com.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Hugh Grant thought it was a “stretch” for American actress to play British Bridget Jones in the film adaptations of the books at first.
      When Renee Zellweger was cast in the titular role in the movie versions of Helen Fielding’s beloved books, there was a national outcry over why a British actress hadn’t been picked for the role.
      And in a new BBC Two documentary titled “Being Bridget Jones”, Grant – who played Daniel Cleaver in the films – admitted he also had doubts about whether or not Renee would do the role justice.
      “There was a whole scandal about why isn’t this a British actress?” he said. “I didn’t know Renee Zellweger, and a Texan playing a British character, it did seem like a stretch.”

        See also…

      Renee worked hard to nail the British accent she needed to play Bridget, with Hugh adding he was “startled” at first to hear that she sounded just like Queen Elizabeth’s sister Princess Margaret.
      “She was told to kind of, well she thought she better loosen it up a bit,” Hugh said, adding that a week later Renee’s accent “was bang on.”
      Renee played Bridget in “Bridget Jones’s Diary” in 2001, “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” in 2004, and “Bridget Jones’s Baby” in 2016.
      In a 2016 interview, the actress revealed she kept her British accent even when the camera was not rolling. “It’s just really lazy. I don’t want to do the work to get back into everyday,” so she explained.
      She also worked behind the scenes on the ITV breakfast show “Good Morning Britain” to perfect her portrayal as the unlucky-in-love TV producer.

      Demi Moore Felt Like 'Guinea Pig' Filming 'Songbird' at the Start of Pandemic

      by

      STX Entertainment

      The ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle’ actress reveals she and her cast mates were aware that they became a ‘test case’ to find out the safe way to work on the set amid pandemic.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Demi Moore was aware, while filming “Songbird” amid the coronavirus pandemic, that she and the cast were “guinea pigs.”
      The “Ghost” actress leads the cast in director Michael Bay’s pandemic-themed romantic thriller and she admitted they were all very aware that they were the “test case” in how the movie industry can now operate because they were the first to start filming in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
      She said, “It was the first film from what I understand, to get the green light (to start filming).”
      “So in a way I felt like we were the guinea pigs. We were the test case to see if it could work as they were slowly rolling out a new version of how we can work safely.”
      Demi – who plays Piper Griffin in the film – believes the movie offers a “cautionary tale” and depicts everyone’s “worst nightmare” amid the coronavirus crisis.
      She explained, “It’s about a pandemic in the future and I think it’s a cautionary tale. It’s the version of what happens in our worst nightmare with this virus.”

        See also…

      “It’s looking at a world that has separated between those who have and those who have not and the desperation and fear that can take over…”
      “My character is a woman, mother and a wife who has resorted to some black market dealing to survive for her family.”
      “And it’s a world where if you’re immune to the virus, which my character is, you have almost a free pass to move about where everyone else cannot.”
      When it comes to the rest of the career, the G.I. Jane star has always sought roles she felt were “provocative” or could teach her something about herself.
      She said in a recent interview, “I was definitely moved by things that were provocative. And I don’t mean just in a sexual context, but things that really pushed us to think outside the box.”
      “And in the very early days for me, I think so much of what inspired and moved me was about exploring how to love myself, how to find myself and in looking at different ways to discover the different pieces of me.”

      Steven Soderbergh at Odds With Movie Boss During Talks to Direct James Bond Movie

      by

      WENN

      The Oscar-winning director admits he was close to sitting behind the lens for a 007 movie but the negotiations eventually broke down because of creative differences.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Steven Soderbergh has admitted “important” creative differences stopped him directing a James Bond movie.
      The “Ocean’s” trilogy filmmaker was once in talks with Eon Productions boss Barbara Broccoli – who oversees the 007 franchise – about being at the helm of a Bond blockbuster.
      Asked about the discussions, he told the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, “Absolutely, I love that world. We were at odds about some things that were important.”
      “We had some great conversations. It was fun to think about, but we just couldn’t… the last ten yards were, we just couldn’t do it, we couldn’t figure it out.”

        See also…

      However, Soderbergh would instead incorporate some of his 007 ideas into his other films, including 2011 action-thriller “Haywire”, which starred Gina Carano as black ops operative Mallory Kane who is betrayed by her employers and targeted for assassination.
      “Aspects of it have shown up elsewhere. I would say, there are things in Haywire, in terms of its approach to the character, and it’s not a big movie, but there’s a little bit of activity in it,” he added. “That’s a hint of the kind of attitude I was looking for.”
      And despite not getting to work on a Bond film yet, he’s still looking forward to watching Daniel Craig’s upcoming final turn as the fictional spy in “No Time to Die”, which was delayed until April 2021.
      “I hope they’re able to figure out the release of the new one,” he said.

      Zac Efron Called Out for 'Slipping the Tongue' During 'Hairspray' Kissing Scene With Nikki Blonsky

      by

      New Line Cinema

      The ‘High School Musical’ alum apparently went a little too far when he was filming his kissing scene with co-star Nikki Blonsky for the 2007 musical romantic comedy.

      Dec 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Zac Efron was called out by “Hairspray” director Adam Shankman for “slipping the tongue” on co-star Nikki Blonsky during their big kiss.
      The former “High School Musical” star played Link Larkin in the big-screen adaptation of the hit musical, opposite Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad. After an illicit romance throughout the film, Link and Tracy finally share a kiss towards the end of the movie – but Nikki revealed on the “Women on Top” podcast that the moment nearly got them a PG-13 rating due to Zac.
      “He slipped (his tongue) on me!” Nikki laughed. “Adam Shankman, our director, called him on it. Adam was like, ‘Hey, whoa, just caught the tongue!’ And Adam was like, ‘No! No tongue!’ He’s like, ‘This is PG, there is no tongue!’ ”

        See also…

      Nikki went on to reveal that she and Zac became firm friends while shooting the film, which was released in 2007.
      “Not to make every woman and gay man jealous, but he was my best friend on the set of Hairspray,” she smiled. “Even when we weren’t filming, we were together on the weekends. (He was) constantly at my apartment and I was always at his, doing his laundry when he didn’t do it. I will toss him under the bus for not doing his laundry! And he knows it!”
      The movie also starred the likes of John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah, and Brittany Snow.
      It went on to receive three Golden Globe nominations including Best Actress, Musical or Comedy for Nikki Blonsky and Best Supporting Actor for John Travolta. It also got a Grammy nomination for Best Soundtrack Album.

      Golden Globes Under Fire for Shutting 'Minari' Out of Best Picture Contention

      by

      A24/Josh Ethan Johnson

      ‘The Farewell’ director Lulu Wang calls for a change in the HFPA’s policy, ‘Glee’ actor Harry Shum Jr. and The Black List founder Franklin Leonard throw in double standard accusation.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Golden Globes has yet to unravel its 2021 nominees, but it has got entangled in a controversy. After Variety brought out the report that Lee Isaac Chung’s “Minari” is out of the Best Picture competition due to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s category guidelines, a slew of celebrities stepped out to voice their frustration.
      Among those blasting the HFPA for relegating the Steven Yeun-starring film to the Best Foreign Language Film category was “The Farewell” director Lulu Wang. “I have not seen a more American film than #Minari this year. It’s a story about an immigrant family, IN America, pursuing the American dream,” she tweeted.
      The woman behind 2014’s “Posthumous” also called for change in the Globes eligibility rule that places any film with at least 50 per cent of non-English dialogue into the Foreign Language category. “We really need to change these antiquated rules that characterizes American as only English-speaking,” she further argued in the same tweet.

      Lulu Wang called out HFPA for relegating ‘Minari’ to the Best Foreign Language Film category.
      “Little Fires Everywhere” author Celeste Ng, on the other hand, expressed a stronger criticism at the policy. “This is a gorgeous film by an American, about Korean-speaking Americans in America, which would be a strong contender for awards in ANY category,” she tweeted. “The idea that only films in English count as ‘American’ is complete bulls**t.”

      Celeste Ng blasted HFPA’s policy over Best Picture category.

      Also weighing in on the controversy, “Hawaii Five-0” actor Daniel Dae Kim pointed out, “The film equivalent of being told to go back to your country when that country is actually America.” Andrew Phung of “Kim’s Convenience” chimed in, “A sad and disappointing reminder that a movie about the American dream, set in America, starring an American, directed by an American, and produced by an American company, is somehow foreign. #Minari.”

      Daniel Dae Kim and Andrew Phung weighed in on ‘Minari’ debacle.
      Expressing similar sentiment were Phung’s co-star Simu Liu and “Pachinko” author Min Jin Lee. “Just for the record, Minari is an American movie written and directed by an American filmmaker set in America with an American lead actor and produced by an American production company,” wrote Liu, whereas Lee noted, “The English language is not an indigenous language. Enough of this nonsense about Asian-Americans being permanently foreign. I’m done.”

      Simu Liu and Min Jin Lee expressed anger over ‘Minari’ debacle.
      Others tookissue with the HFPA’s double standard using Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” as an example. “Shadowhunters” actor Harry Shum Jr. tweeted, “Checks ‘Inglorious Bastards’ English to German, French & Italian ratio – roughly 30:70 #Minari is an American film,” and The Black List founder Franklin Leonard noted, “Let us not forget that Inglorious Basterds was mostly not in English and was not classified the same way.”

      Harry Shum Jr. and Franklin Leonard complained over Golden Globes’ double standard.
      “Minari” was premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. It went on to win both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. Its story centers around a family of South Korean immigrants who try to make it in rural Arkansas in the 1980s. Meanwhile, the 2021 nominations of the Globes will be announced on February 3, 2021.
