      Tom Hanks Recalls Clashing with Director Paul Greengrass on Set of Their New Movie

      by

      The ‘Saving Private Ryan’ actor remembers stopping the filming to hash out disagreement with the director on the set of their new project ‘News of the World’.

      Dec 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Hanks and director Paul Greengrass had to pause filming on new movie “News of the World” to hash out a disagreement about a vital element of the actor’s role.
      The “Saving Private Ryan” star portrays American Civil War veteran Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd in the western, in which he travels from town to town delivering readings of the national news.
      However, the manner in which Hanks’ character delivers the headlines to locals was a real sticking point for the actor and Greengrass because they didn’t see eye-to-eye.
      “We were halfway through the shooting day, and we ended up sitting on the wooden sidewalk of one of our Western towns. And we went at it, he and I, about what these performances of readings of the news meant,” Hanks recalled to CinemaBlend.com.

      “I was hell bent on authenticity and the real news and the real stories, and almost a dry perspective and presentation of them. And he was bent on the connecting of the audience, of the inspiring of the audience, of the reading of the audience and of the enthrallment of the audience with what this news was.”
      Hanks continued, “He was saying, ‘You must understand: you are putting on a show to bring people together.’ And I was saying, ‘Paul, you’ve got to understand: I am reading the news to bring people together.’ And we had to find this thing that was in there.”
      The double Oscar winner doesn’t reveal who got their way, but the clash of words didn’t dampen Greengrass’ experience of working on the set of the 1870s survival drama, which is based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Paulette Jiles.
      Greengrass, who previously worked with Hanks on 2013’s “Captain Phillips”, said, “It is a dream come true for me. In my many years as a filmmaker, I’ve done tough films about where we are today; I’ve done entertaining films about spies on the run, all sorts of things, but I had never made a classical, beautiful Western. That is what I’ve tried to do here.”

      Goldie Hawn Hated Kissing Kurt Russell in 'Christmas Chronicles 2'

      by

      Netflix

      The ‘Private Benjamin’ actress explains why she was not really fond of kissing her real-life partner as they played a couple in their new Netflix Christmas movie.

      Dec 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Goldie Hawn “hated” the bushy beard her longtime love Kurt Russell grew for “The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two” because it made kissing him on set no fun.
      The real life couple played Santa and Mrs Clause in the original 2018 Netflix holiday movie, and they reprise their roles for the sequel.
      And although Goldie admired the facial hair Kurt sported, she was thrilled when production wrapped and he was able to shave off his whiskers.
      “I thought it (beard) was a work of art, I really did,” the mum of actors Kate and Oliver Hudson told U.S. talk show “Live with Kelly and Ryan”.
      “I mean, I looked at it, I got lost in it. I thought it was just beautifully designed…”

      “Ask me how I liked that beard,” she laughed. “I hated it. It wasn’t fun to kiss.”
      But that’s the only complaint Goldie has about the project, and she had so much fun otherwise, she’s taking another souvenir to the pair’s regular home for the holidays, in Colorado, to remind her of the happy shoot.
      “I loved going to work every day. I have a little sign that they gave me that I’m going to put in my little house in Aspen. It’s a sign painting from outside one of Santa’s stores where they make everything,” she added.
      “I just wanted a piece of the (film’s) village.”
      The actress also loved making the family movie because she knew her six grandchildren would get to see it. She previously said, “I love the thought that they might one day grow up to like other things Kurt and I have done, but right now it’s fun to have them watch this and go to school knowing their friends have seen it too.”

      WENN

      The upcoming big screen project fronted by the ‘Deepwater Horizon’ actor has got Simon Cellan Jones as a new helmer after the previous one left due to scheduling conflicts.

      Dec 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – British director Simon Cellan Jones has taken charge of Mark Wahlberg’s “Arthur the King” adaptation after scheduling conflicts forced Baltasar Kormakur to step down.
      The survival story is inspired by real-life events chronicled by Swedish adventurer Mikael Lindnord in his 2017 book “Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home”, in which he recalled how he met and befriended a wounded stray while racing through the Ecuadorian jungle.
      Wahlberg signed on to play Lindnord last year (19) while actor Simu Liu, who stars in Marvel Studios’ forthcoming blockbuster “Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, has now been added to the main cast, reports Deadline.
      Production is expected to begin in the Dominican Republic in January (21).

      The actor recently posted a new picture on Instagram with a caption, “Arthur the King training.” He donned a helmet while posing with his bike.

      Earlier this month, he was reportedly in Australia for work. He quarantined in a luxury retreat outside of Byron Bay to complete a two-week quarantine period implemented by the government Down Under.
      Mark Wahlberg’s new movies, an action comedy “Spenser Confidential” and a new animated Scooby Doo movie, came out earlier this year. His next film, “Joe Bell”, is expected to hit theaters early next year after premiering at Toronto International Film Festival in September.
      Besides “Arthur the King”, his upcoming big screen projects include sci-fi action “Infinite” and action adventure “Uncharted”.

      Gal Gadot Confirms She's Included in Very Thorough 'Justice League' Investigation

      by

      WENN

      The Wonder Woman star reveals she was interviewed as a part of a ‘very thorough’ inquiry into the misconduct allegations made by Ray Fisher against Joss Whedon.

      Dec 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gal Gadot was interviewed as part of WarnerMedia’s investigation into alleged misconduct on the “Justice League” set.
      The actress has confirmed she was included in the “very thorough investigation” into allegations made by actor Ray Fisher, who previously accused Joss Whedon and producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg of engaging in misconduct.
      Gal – who starred as Wonder Woman in the 2017 movie – said, “I know that they’ve done a very thorough investigation, even just by how much time I spent with them.”
      WarnerMedia recently confirmed it had concluded its investigation and that remedial action has been taken. However, the company refused to elaborate on what action had been taken.
      Speaking to “The Big Ticket”, Gal confessed, “I don’t know what that means either. I’m curious to know what’s going to be the outcome.”

        See also…

      Earlier this year, Ray alleged that racial issues played a role in determining the film’s final cut.
      The actor – who played the part of Cyborg in the movie – suggested the decision to give his character a diminished role in the film “was neither an accident nor coincidence.”
      Speaking about his experience of making the movie, Ray explained, “The erasure of people of colour from the 2017 theatrical version of Justice League was neither an accident nor coincidence.”
      The Hollywood star also blasted the director’s attitude on Twitter, writing his “treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.”
      “He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg… Accountability >Entertainment. (sic)”
      Meanwhile, Ray confirmed earlier this month (Dec20) he’d received a statement from WarnerMedia about the investigation, but stressed there are “still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found.”

      Tom Cruise Taking a Break From Filming After Angry Rant on 'Mission: Impossible 7' Set

      by

      WENN

      The main star of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie franchise is reportedly going to return to Miami for an early Christmas break following his tirade on the set.

      Dec 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise is reportedly wrapping his 2020 work commitments early following his much-publicised on-set rants.
      The superstar lost his cool recently when he spotted two assistants huddled around a monitor, watching playback, ignoring social distancing rules he had helped to introduce to try and keep the set of the forthcoming “Mission: Impossible 7” coronavirus-free.
      He launched into a furious tirade threatening to fire anyone who didn’t take the rules seriously and, according to The Sun, the 58-year-old actor will be taking a break from filming the movie for an early Christmas holiday.
      According to the publication, Friday (18Dec20) will be his final day on set for the year and, from there, he plans to take his private jet to Miami, Florida where he’ll spend some time with his son Connor.
      “It has been exhausting keeping the production on track for so long, and it’s not getting any easier – Christmas can’t come soon enough,” an insider told the outlet.

      “Tom has decided he’s ready for a break and is now going to wind up filming for 2020 on Friday, and fly to Miami over the weekend on his private jet to spend Christmas with his son.”
      The source added, “It’s the end of a really tough year, and a bit of time out seems like a good idea for everyone as tensions have been mounting for a while.”
      During his first rant, Cruise hinted at his exhaustion, claiming he was in constant contact with studios, insurance companies and producers as the production was seen as the “gold standard” for filming amid the pandemic.
      However, according to officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the mask he’s been snapped wearing on set, featuring a carbon filter and breathing valves, may be ineffective in preventing the spread of coronavirus.
      “This type of mask may not prevent you from spreading COVID-19 to others,” they state, reported TMZ. “The hole in the material may allow your respiratory droplets to escape and reach others.”

      Mads Mikkelsen Has This One Wish After Taking Over Johnny Depp's Role in 'Fantastic Beasts 3'

      by

      WENN/Warner Bros./FayesVision

      The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor has been asked to step down as supervillain Gellert Grindelwald after he lost a libel trial against The Sun’s publishers over a story that labeled him as ‘wife beater’.

      Dec 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mads Mikkelsen wishes he had Johnny Depp on speed dial, because it would make his research about “Fantastic Beasts” supervillain Gellert Grindelwald much easier.
      The Danish star has taken over from Depp in the film franchise after the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was asked to step down after losing a libel trial against The Sun’s publishers over a story, in which he was described as a “wife beater”, and now Mads is playing catch-up on the role.
      “I’ve met him (Depp) once,” Mikkelsen tells AP Entertainment. “I wish I had his phone number, but unfortunately that’s not the case.”
      “There’s nothing else I can do, to be honest. The only approach I can have is connect the bridge between what he did and what I’m gonna do and then we’ll see what lands. There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I’m going to do. And at the same time, I also have to make it my own.”

      Regarding Depp’s exit from the third film in the “Fantastic Beasts” series, Mikkelsen says, “It’s also a shocker that it came after what happened, which is just super sad… These are sad circumstances.”
      Depp himself has addressed his exit from the “Fantastic Beasts” series through a letter he posted on Instagram. “In light of recent events, I would like to make the following short statement. Firstly, I’d like to thank everybody who has gifted me with their support and loyalty,” he said in his November 6 statement.
      “I have been humbled and moved by your many messages of love and concern, particularly over the last few days,” the ex-husband of Amber Heard continued. “I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and I have respected and agreed to that request.”

      The “Fantastic Beasts 3” is scheduled for release in July 2022.

      Justin Timberlake Fights for LGBTQ Boy in First 'Palmer' Trailer

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Trolls World Tour’ star plays an ex-convict who adjusts to life outside prison when he unexpectedly forms a bond with a young boy, who suffers bullying from his peers.

      Dec 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Justin Timberlake returns to acting in the first trailer for upcoming film “Palmer”. Released on Thursday, December 17, the promo video gives an emotional look at the touching story of an unlikely relationship between an ex-convict and an LGBTQ kid.
      The “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer portrays Eddie Palmer, a former high school football star whose professional career was shattered after he was imprisoned. Returning home after serving 12 years in prison, Eddie finds himself struggling to adjust to his new life while working as a janitor.
      When he’s forced to babysit Sam (Ryder Allen), a young boy abandoned by his mother, Eddie forms an unlikely bond with the gender non-conforming child. Eddie teaches Sam to defend himself from his peers, who often bully him because he’s different.
      While caring for Sam, Eddie also meets and starts a relationship with Maggie Hayes (Alisha Wainwright), a teacher. As Eddie faces judgment from those around him for raising the kid, his past threatens to ruin his new life and family.

      But as the official logline for the movie puts it, “Family is who you make it,” Eddie isn’t going to give up his new family that easily. “The truth is I haven’t felt like I was good at anything…until Sam,” he says in voiceover in the trailer. In another scene taking place in what looks like a courtroom, he promises, “I will not abandon that boy.”
      The trailer is set to “Redemption”, a new original single from Nathaniel Rateliff.
      Directed by Fisher Stevens from a screenplay by Cheryl Guerriero, “Palmer” also stars June Squibb as Vivian Palmer, Juno Temple as Sam’s mother Shelly, Jesse C. Boyd as Coles, J.D. Evermore as Principal Forbes, Lance E. Nichols as Sibs and Jay Florsheim as a football referee.
      The drama film is set to be released on Apple TV+ starting January 29, 2021.
