      Gal Gadot Lashes Out at Critics as She Defends 'Cleopatra' Casting

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Wonder Woman’ actress has fired back at the critics who find fault with her casting as the iconic Egyptian queen in the upcoming big screen project.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot has fired back at crazy criticism suggesting she’s the wrong nationality to portray Cleopatra in a new movie about the ancient queen.
      The Israeli star will be reteaming with “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins for the project, and some over-sensitive film fans have called for recasting.
      “First of all, if you want to be true to the facts then Cleopatra was Macedonian,” Gal rages in her response. “We were looking for a Macedonian actress that could fit Cleopatra. She wasn’t there, and I was very passionate about Cleopatra.”
      “I have friends from across the globe, whether they’re Muslims or Christian or Catholic or atheist or Buddhist, or Jewish of course. People are people, and with me, I want to celebrate the legacy of Cleopatra and honour this amazing historic icon that I admire so much.”

      Gal adds, “You know, anybody can make this movie and anybody can go ahead and do it. I’m very passionate that I’m going to do my own too.”
      The backlash surrounding Gal’s Cleopatra casting comes as she prepares to launch the “Wonder Woman” sequel on Christmas Day (25Dec20).
      Before bringing Cleopatra to life on the big screen, Gal Gadot is next to appear in Kenneth Branagh’s “Death on the Nile”, a sequel to his 2017 film “Murder on the Orient Express”. She shares screen with the likes of Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Letitia Wright, Annette Bening, and Russell Brand.
      She is also tapped for action comedy thriller “Red Notice” with Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.

      Luke Wilson Says He Hasn't Received Invite to Join 'Legally Blonde 3'

      by

      WENN

      The actor who starred in the first two ‘Legally Blonde’ movies would love to reprise his role in the upcoming third movie but he hasn’t got an offer yet.

      Dec 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Luke Wilson hasn’t been approached to join the cast of “Legally Blonde 3” yet.
      The actor – whose character Emmett Richmond married Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) in 2003’s “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde” – admitted he would love to be part of the third film to complete the trilogy, but he doesn’t know what the situation is.
      “Of course (I’d do it). As for the Legally Blonde that we’re hearing about now – I don’t know anything than the usual man on the street,” he told Us Weekly.
      “And that’s really the truth. I’ve heard they’re writing it and trying to put it together, but they’re keeping it pretty firmly under wraps.”

        See also…

      Wilson – who also starred in the original movie in 2001 – “loved working with” Witherspoon, and he heaped praise on the film’s lasting legacy.
      “I loved working with Reese, and definitely, that’s one of those movies where I never had that happen before to such a degree where when it came out, I’d go back to Texas and there would be little squadrons of girls who would come up at that age, like, 8 to 12 and 14, and they would have all these questions about Elle,” he added.
      “They’d ask where she was and what she was doing and was she as great as she seemed. It’s just a good feeling. It’s one thing to make a movie people like, it’s another thing to make a movie that does well, but to have one that gets legs because of how people feel about it, that is a great feeling. To have a movie make a jump to generations.”
      MGM Studios revealed the movie is slated for release in May 2022, with Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor writing the script.

      Kate Winslet Raves Over Becoming Fossil Expert Thanks to 'Ammonite' Role

      by

      BBC Films

      When talking about the Francis Lee-directed movie, the Oscar winner claims her experience portraying the Mary Anning character was the most inspired she has ever been.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kate Winslet became a fossil expert while shooting her new movie “Ammonite”.
      The Oscar winner stars as acclaimed 19th century paleontologist Mary Anning in the new movie and director Francis Lee insisted his leading lady knew what she was talking about on camera, so he set up lessons with an expert.
      And Kate suddenly found herself fascinated by fossils.
      “I often get to learn a new skill or a new craft when playing a character, but I never imagined that I would be taught how to fossil hunt,” she explains. “Now I could take you to Lyme Regis (in England) and I would know what I was talking about. That was really important to me, because we didn’t want to use hand doubles – we wanted it to be as authentic as possible.”

      “Also, this is something Mary was doing as a child, so it just had to be in my bones. Paddy Howe was our fossil expert down in Lyme Regis, and he was just terrific at sharing his knowledge – he made it really user-friendly. There was nothing daunting about the words that he would use or the techniques he would describe.”
      “We’d spend days whacking rocks together on a beach, because sometimes ammonites can be lurking inside them. The people at the museum in Lyme were also incredibly helpful – that’s where Mary’s writings are; accounts of how she was thinking and feeling, and they were very generous in letting us access those.”
      The combination of shooting the film with Lee and her co-star, Saoirse Ronan, in Lyme Regis and studying up on Anning left Kate buzzing when the movie wrapped.
      “Walking away from playing her, I was the most inspired I have ever been by any character I’ve played,” she smiles.

      WENN/Mario Mitsis

      The Ethan Hunt depicter in the action film series has been caught on tape yelling threats at crew members who were alleged to have violated the coronavirus protocols on the set.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A group of “Mission: Impossible” crew members have defended Tom Cruise’s leaked outburst about ignored COVID protocols on set, insisting he has every right to get upset.
      The movie star was caught on tape raging about health and safety breaches and his comments were posted online by The Sun editors, leading to a backlash from some and talk of crew members quitting.
      But now some of his colleagues are coming to his defence.

      A source from the U.K. production behind the seventh instalment of the film series tells People magazine, “It’s hard to [describe] how incredibly intense and focused he is on making every movie the absolute best possible. The ‘Mission: Impossible’ movies are very special to him. They are ‘his’ movies.”
      “Tom helped set up the COVID protocol. Of course, he takes it personally when the protocol is broken. In all the years of filming the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, no one has ever even heard Tom raise his voice. He is usually just laser-focused on filming. This movie is very different though. He has to film while making sure everyone stays safe.”
      Another set source adds, “Tom’s whole life is his work. He feels the pressure of how scary things look now. He does not want any further disruption. There is a lot at stake. When he sees something less than professional, he wants to make it right.”
      In his leaked rant, Cruise threatened to fire “Mission: Impossible VII” crew members if he saw them ignoring the guidelines put in place to protect everyone on set from COVID.

      Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall Receive Warm Welcome in First 'Coming 2 America' Trailer

      by

      [embedded content]

      The two actors reprise their roles as Prince Akeem Joffer and his aide Semmi, who travel back to America to find Akeem’s son he never knew he has in the ‘Coming to America’ sequel.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are back in regal glory in the first official trailer of “Coming 2 America”. After teased with the first-look photo released last week, glimpses of footage in the new film are made available online for viewing pleasure through the sneak-peek video.
      Murphy’s Prince Akeem Joffer and Hall’s Semmi, Akeem’s best friend and aide, are still at the center of the story. Set years after the first film, the plot finds Akeem realizing that he fathers a child he never knew he has.
      Akeem is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler). Honoring his royal father’s (James Earl Jones) dying wish to groom this son as the crown prince, since Akeem and Lisa’s (Shari Headley) daughter Meeka Joffer (KiKi Layne) is ineligible to take over the throne because Zamunda law rules that it has to be a male heir to take the throne, Akeem and Semmi set off to America once again.

      The trailer, set to “Feel Right” by rapper Mystikal and Mark Ronson, sees the duo reuniting with the old men in the barber shop, with Murphy and Hall playing them as well. There’s also a look at Tracy Morgan as Lavelle’s uncle Reem, Wesley Snipes as Imani’s older brother General Izzi, Leslie Jones as Lavelle’s mother, and Teyana Taylor as General Izzi’s henchwoman.
      Rick Ross and Davido are also set to make cameo appearance in the movie, which is directed by Craig Brewer. Kenya Barris, Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield wrote the screenplay based on a story by Blaustein, Sheffield and Justin Kanew.
      Originally scheduled to be theatrically released on August 7 of this year, the movie will now debut domestically via Amazon Prime Video on March 5, 2021, excluding countries where Paramount Pictures will handle theatrical distribution.

      'The Exorcist' Sequel Has Found a Director

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      ‘Halloween Kills’ helmer David Gordon Green is reportedly in negotiations to sit behind the lens for the upcoming follow-up to the Oscar-winning horror movie.

      Dec 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – David Gordon Green is reportedly in talks to direct a new sequel to “The Exorcist”.
      The “Halloween Kills” filmmaker is reportedly poised to take on another classic horror flick with Blumhouse Productions.
      Little is known about the project at this stage and it is unknown as to whether it will ignore the previous two “Exorcist” sequels, two prequels and TV series, just as the 2018 Halloween film ignored the original slasher flick’s numerous follow-ups.
      William Friedkin directed the original film, which was one of the highest-grossing horror flicks in history as well as the first film in the genre to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
      The movie was adapted from William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel of the same name and starred Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, and Linda Blair as possessed child Regan MacNeil. The film was so terrifying to audiences that many cinema-goers fainted or needed medical attention during screenings.

        See also…

      Friedkin recently revealed on social media that he would not be involved in any sequel.
      The 85-year-old director wrote on Twitter, “There’s a rumour on IMDB that I’m involved with a new version of The Exorcist. This isn’t a rumour, it’s a flat-out lie.”
      “There’s not enough money or motivation in the world to get me to do this.”
      Earlier this year when the movie was first rumored to get a reboot, horror fans were outraged. They launched a petition condemning the project. Morgan Creek, the current owner of the franchise, later clarified on Twitter, “For the record, we will never attempt to remake THE EXORCIST.”
      So it’s now apparently revealed the project is not a remake but a sequel.

      KJ Apa Recalls Embarrassingly Crashing in Front of Michael Bay During 'Songbird' Stunt

      by

      STX Entertainment

      When appearing on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’, the ‘Riverdale’ star talks about his excitement working with the ‘Transformers’ filmmaker for the pandemic-themed love story.

      Dec 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor KJ Apa hoped to really impress “Songbird” director Michael Bay with his first big stunt for the film – but he crashed and burned instead.
      The “Riverdale” star was shooting the pandemic-themed love story over the summer, for which much of the action was filmed remotely as full production was yet to resume in Los Angeles following the spring shutdown due to the coronavirus.
      And he was thrilled when the “Transformers” filmmaker came to the set in person to take charge of the New Zealander’s first action scene.
      “Michael Bay had decided to come in and direct that specific scene,” KJ shared on America’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan”, “and it was the first time I had worked with him. He was operating the camera, we were ready for the first shot.”

      Then things went quickly downhill.
      “I was on the bike,” he continued. “I toppled right over the bike (handlebars), the chain comes off and everything. I get fully run over by the bike.”
      “Huge scrape down my leg, my leg is bleeding, and he’s (Bay) like, ‘Are you good…? You can do another one, right?’ And I was just like, (with a) stone cold face, ‘Yeah I’m good’.”
      But he wasn’t actually feeling so hot: “I just didn’t want to show him any weakness at all – not Michael Bay,” the young star quipped.
