      Robert Downey Jr. Admits His 'Iron Man' Role 'Creatively Satisfying'

      by

      Marvel Studios

      While being ‘eternally grateful’ for his 10-year stint as the superhero, the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ actor claims he still has ‘tons more ambition to do things’ he has not done before.

      Dec 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Robert Downey Jr. found it “hard” portraying Iron Man, but he is “eternally grateful” for his 10-year stint as the superhero.
      The actor admitted in September (20) that he was “done” with the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his character Tony Stark/Iron Man was killed off in “Avengers: Endgame”, and the star has now told how he did “all (he) could” with his alter-ego, and found the part “creatively satisfying.”
      “Each project is different. Playing Tony/Iron Man was hard and I dug deep. I had an incredible 10-year run that was creatively satisfying,” he told the Hindustan Times newspaper. “I’ve done all I could with that character and can do other things now.”

      “Now, being middle-aged, you start looking at the back nine and realize this is all part of the journey and things end. I am fortunate and eternally grateful to have wound up where I have.”
      Downey Jr. still has big ambitions, but admitted he thinks about how much time he would have to spend away from his family whenever he gets a script nowadays.
      “I now have tons more ambition to do things I haven’t done before,” he continued. “Evolving is key – the worst thing you can do is get in your own way. Just in the matter of me wanting to be a fit father, husband and citizen, it’d be irresponsible of me to not keep my eye ahead so I can prepare my mind for what’s to come and the transition.”
      “As an actor, every time I get a script now, I think about the commitment and time I’d be away from my missus and kiddos.”

      Viola Davis Gets Real About How She Views Her 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' Character

      by

      Netflix

      In the Denzel Washington-produced drama movie, the actress tackles the role of a fiery black musician who is engaged in a battle of wills over control of her music in 1920s Chicago.

      Dec 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Viola Davis doesn’t view her character in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” as either a hero or villain.
      The 55-year-old actress stars in the titular role of the drama movie as a fiery black musician who is engaged in a battle of wills over control of her music in 1920s Chicago but she believes it is down to the audience to judge if she is a protagonist or antagonist.
      Viola said: “I don’t view her as a protagonist or antagonist, because I can’t. An actor doesn’t do that.”
      “It’s like, you’ve got to portray the character exactly who they are. Whether they’re a protagonist or an antagonist, that’s for the audience, that’s a judgement.”

      The Oscar-winning star explained how she played the character in the Netflix movie as a woman who wasn’t valued in the film’s setting but as understanding her worth as a musician known as the Mother of the Blues.
      Viola told CinemaBlend.com: “I portrayed her as a woman who literally is born in the world that doesn’t value her at all – that doesn’t even recognise her as a human being, but she is a person who understands her worth.”
      “So, therefore, she’s a woman who absolutely has busted a hole through 1927. She is a liberated woman.”
      The “Widows” star continued: “So I just saw her as a woman who knew her worth and wasn’t going to concede. It wasn’t up for discussion.”
      “I know that (as Ma) I’m great at what I do, I know it’s making you money, I should be called the Mother of the Blues. I’m influencing all these other singers, so you treat me like I deserve to be treated. And that’s it. That’s how I saw her.”

      Of joining the new project, Rachael said in a press release, “I’m thrilled to be reunited with so many familiar faces!” She went on saying, “This version has a great new spin that I think people will really enjoy.”
      In the original film, Rachael played a nerdy art student loner who becomes the subject of a high school prom bet between jocks played by Freddie and the late Paul Walker.
      In the new movie, Rae’s character accepts the challenge to turn a dork into a high school prom prince. Also starring in the flick are Tanner Buchanan, Madison Pettis, Petyon Meyer, Isabella Crovetti, Annie Jacob and Myra Molloy.
      Of starring alongside Addison, Tanner shared, “She really came into this movie with so much drive, hard work and passion to show her abilities as an actor.”
      Sharing a little of the plot, Tanner said “that the gender roles are reversed” in the movie. “That the girl is the one ‘making over’ the guy,” he noted. “In reality, they’re both making over each other into better people, like in She’s All That. It really holds true to the original story, but is just updated in a way that feels current … cell phones and social media are pretty integral parts of our lives now!”

      Chris Pratt's Homophobic Allegation Resurfaces After Star-Lord Is Outed as Bisexual

      by

      Marvel Studios

      In the latest issue of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ comic written by Al Ewing, Marvel confirms Peter Quill’s sexuality and depicts him in a polyamorous relationship.

      Dec 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marvel is affirming its commitment to inclusivity by adding Star-Lord to a list of its LGBTQ+ characters. The latest issue of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” comic reveals that the space adventurer is bisexual.
      In an adventure titled “I Shall Make You a Star-Lord”, “Guardians of the Galaxy #9” finds Peter Quills being stuck on a planet called Morinus where he befriends two humanoids, the female Aradia and the male Mors. He eventually enters into a relationship with both around the 12-year mark
      In one page of the issue written by Al Ewin, Peter says to the pair of his time on the planet, “It’s been over a decade. Time to accept the truth…Morinus is my home. You’re my home.” The trio is seen entering the “Eighth House”, which is the House of Death and Rebirth, where they get into a bath together.
      The relationship lasts for more than 100 years, according to Screen Rant.

      Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord is portrayed by Chris Pratt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films. While it’s unknown if the character’s bisexuality will be addressed in the movie, the actor faces mockery on social media as many brought up his alleged stance on LGBTQ+.
      Imagining the “Jurassic World” actor’s reaction to the news, one tweeted, “How long until the headline ‘Chris Pratt exits role as Star Lord citing ‘creative differences’ ‘ drops?” Another blasted the 41-year-old hunk, “Marvel confirming Star Lord is bisexual is just *chefs kiss* f**k you Chris Pratt.”
      “i need a video of chris pratt discovering that star lord is bisexual,” a third person was curious, while someone else claimed, “So apparently Star lord is Bisexual. He is also portrayed by Chris Pratt who goes to an Anti-LGBTQ church. God’s timing is always right.”
      Pratt is accused of being homophobic after a photo of him visiting an alleged anti-LGBTQ church surfaced. Earlier this year, he was slammed for not participating in Joe Biden’s Presidential fundraiser which featured some of his “Avengers” castmates, though many of his co-stars later came to his defense.

      Chris Pine in Talks to Lead Film Adaptation of 'Dungeons and Dragons'

      by

      WENN/Dave Starbuck

      The live-action project from the Hasbro fantasy game has ‘Game Night’ filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signing on to direct back in 2019.

      Dec 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Chris Pine is in talks to bring cult role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons” to life onscreen in a new movie.
      The “Wonder Woman” star has been tapped to lead the ensemble cast in the live-action project, which “Game Night” filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley signed on to direct in 2019.
      They also wrote the script, based on a draft by Michael Gilio.

        See also…

      Further casting details have yet to be released, but they are hoping to begin production in the first quarter of 2021 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, reports Deadline.
      Goldstein and Daley aren’t the first to tackle the Hasbro fantasy game and turn it into a movie – studio bosses at Warner Bros. initially wanted Ansel Elgort as their leading man, with “Goosebumps” director Rob Letterman taking charge, but an ownership rights dispute put an end to that plan, and the film subsequently moved to Paramount, where bosses brought in “The Lego Batman Movie” helmer Chris McKay to direct. He was replaced by Goldstein and Daley last year.
      It was also previously adapted for the big screen for New Line Cinema back in 2000, but the Courtney Solomon film, which starred Jeremy Irons, Marlon Wayans and Justin Whalin, was a critical and commercial flop.
      Despite failing to impress fans, two sequels followed – “Wrath of the Dragon God” debuted on TV in 2005, and another, 2011’s “The Book of Vile Darkness”, was released straight to DVD.

      by

      Warner Bros./Paramount Pictures/DreamWorks

      This year’s selections, which were announced on December 14, have made history thanks to the inclusion of nine films directed by women, and seven helmed by filmmakers of color.

      Dec 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “The Dark Knight”, “Grease” and “Shrek” are among the 25 films inducted into the U.S. National Film Registry this year.
      Each year, 25 films released more than ten years ago are selected by officials from America’s Library of Congress to be added to the registry for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically” important.
      This year’s list was released on Monday, December 14, with “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan “honoured” by his film’s inclusion.
      “This is not only a great honour for all of us who worked on The Dark Knight, this is also a tribute to all of the amazing artists and writers who have worked on the great mythology of Batman over the decades,” he told Variety in a statement.

      “The National Film Registry is an important record of American history, culture and creativity, captured through one of the great American art forms, our cinematic experience,” Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said in a statement. “With the inclusion of diverse filmmakers, we are not trying to set records but rather to set the record straight by spotlighting the astonishing contributions women and people of color have made to American cinema, despite facing often-overwhelming hurdles.”
      Sidney Poitier’s film “Lilies of the Field” – which saw him become the first Black person to win a Best Actor Oscar – is also on the list, with the actor saying: “Lilies of the Field’ stirs up such great remembrances in our family, from the littlest Poitiers watching a young and agile Papa to the oldest – Papa Sidney himself!”.
      Other 2020 inductees include “The Blues Brothers”, “The Hurt Locker”, “A Clockwork Orange”, “The Joy Luck Club”, “The Man With the Golden Arm”, “Cabin in the Sky”, “Freedom Riders” and “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song”.
      In addition, Monday’s selections made history thanks to the inclusion of nine films directed by women, and seven helmed by filmmakers of colour.

      “We got together that weekend, that Saturday, and we spent the whole day bringing our love story to life: the first moment Sara and Nico met, the thing about Sara that made Nico fall for her – someone he’s never seen, only someone he’s heard through the door,” she continued.
      On Friday, December 11, Carson stunned on the red carpet in a gorgeous pearl gown by Prada at the private screening of “Songbird” in Beverly Hills, California.

      Jamie Dornan Glad 'Wild Mountain Thyme' Co-Star Emily Blunt Hasn't Seen 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The Christian Grey actor seems to be embarrassed by his role in the BDSM romance movies as he told his co-star he’s ‘very relieved’ she hasn’t seen any of the films.

      Dec 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jamie Dornan was “very relieved” when his “Wild Mountain Thyme” co-star Emily Blunt told him she hadn’t seen “Fifty Shades of Grey”.
      The actor starred as Christian Grey, who embarks on a sadomasochistic relationship with Dakota Johnson’s character Anastasia Steele in the film trilogy, and it appears it’s not a role he’s proud of.
      When his latest co-star confessed she hadn’t seen any of the films, he was thrilled.

      Blunt, who plays the love interest of Jamie’s character in John Patrick Shanley’s new drama, said, “Jamie was quite relieved that I had never seen the Fifty Shades films. And I hadn’t read the book. So I just said, ‘I’m so sorry. I’ve never seen those films’. And he goes, ‘I am very relieved.’ ”
      “I’d seen Jamie on The Fall and I’d seen him in Private War, and that was it really. So I didn’t have any sort of perception of him being this, you know, whatever Christian Grey was.”
      Dornan has made it clear his time on the “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise is over, adding, “I was ready to move on from this crazy chapter in my life. No matter who I was playing, I don’t think I’d want to play a character for multiple, multiple films. I think I’d just get really bored of that.”
      The BDSM romance movie about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele is based on a book which originally started as a “Twilight” fanfiction. The first “Fifty Shades” movie came out in 2015, followed by a second movie in 2017 and a third and final one in 2018.
