      WENN

      Should his role be officially confirmed, the ‘Gladiator’ actor will join the cast that includes Natalie Portman, who is set to reprise her role as Jane Foster, and Christian Bale who will play the movie’s villain

      Apr 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Russell Crowe has made a shocking revelation on his involvement in the upcoming “Thor: Love and Thunder”. In a new interview on an Australian radio show, the actor revealed that he will join the cast of the forthcoming Marvel film as Olympian God Zeus.

      “Now, I’m gonna get on my bicycle, I’m gonna ride up to Disney-Fox studios… and round about 9:15, I shall be Zeus in Thor 4,” Crowe said before ending the interview on Thursday, April 22. “It’s my last day of Zeus-ing about.”

      Neither representatives for Russell nor Disney has commented on the matter.

      The report of Russell’s appearance on the flick was first emerged last month as Deadline described the role as a “fun cameo.” Should his role as Zeus be officially confirmed, the “Gladiator” actor will join the cast that includes Natalie Portman, who is set to reprise her role as Jane Foster, and Christian Bale who will play the movie’s villain. Cast member Tessa Thompson, who returns as Valkyrie, confirmed the casting in March as saying, “Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic.”

      In Marvel comics, Zeus is depicted as the king of the Olympians. Similar to Thor’s Asgardians that are drawn from Norse mythology, Olympians ar a group of characters inspired by Greek mythology. The character has been known to fight against and alongside Thor.

      The fourth installment of the “Thor” movie series will have Taika Waititi back as the director with Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as the title character a.k.a. God of Thunder. Also returning to the movie is Jaimie Alexander who will play Sif once again.

      It was also reported that Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan and Sean Gunn were spotted on the set as well. Meanwhile, Matt Damon, Sam Neill, Luke Hemsworth and Melissa McCarthy were allegedly billed to make cameo appearance.

      The movie is slated to arrive on May 6, 2022 in the United States.

      Jim Henson Biopic Developed by Disney, KISS Movie Picked Up by Netflix

      by

      Twitter/WENN/FayesVision

      The Mouse House is developing a movie about the life and career of ‘The Muppets’ creator while Netflix secures a true-story film about Gene Simmons and his bandmates.

      Apr 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      A biopic based on the life of “The Muppets” creator Jim Henson is in the works.

      Writer Michael Mitnik has been tapped by Disney and The Henson company to pen a movie about the star which, according to Deadline, will focus “Henson’s journey to convince broadcasters that The Muppets was a great idea.”

      Henson began creating Muppets in the 1950’s and, after launching them as characters in commercials, they eventually appeared their own specials and a syndicated variety show.

      The concept later evolved to the puppets teaching children on “Sesame Street”, and the characters even briefly appeared in their own sketch series on “Saturday Night Live”.

      After success with “The Muppet Show”, Henson moved on to various TV and movie efforts. He died in 1990 at the age of 53.

      The new movie, which is as yet untitled, will be produced by Henson’s daughter Lisa.

      Meanwhile, Netflix bosses have all but signed a deal for the upcoming KISS biopic “Shout It Out Loud”.

      According to Deadline, the movie will focus on the story of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley meeting in Queens in New York and forming the iconic “Rock and Roll All Nite” band with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.

      Joachim Ronning is on to direct and the script comes from Ole Sanders, who is working from an earlier draft penned by William Blake Herron.

      Mark Canton’s Atmosphere Entertainment and Universal Music Group will co-produce the flick.

      KISS still have the rest of their farewell run, the End of the Road World Tour to complete, which was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

      Since forming in 1973, the “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” rockers have sold more than 75 million records worldwide.

      The four original members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

      Whoopi Goldberg Writing Superhero Movie About 'Old Black Woman'

      by

      Variety Magazine/Kat and Mariel

      The ‘Sister Act’ actress reveals she is working on a new project, a superhero movie that focuses on a woman who wields her superhero powers later in life.

      Apr 23, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Whoopi Goldberg is writing a new female-led superhero movie.

      The “Sister Act” legend has revealed she has been “obsessed” with superheroes since she was a child and is planning to give Marvel and DC Comics bosses a run for their money.

      Whoopi told the latest issue of Variety magazine – of which she is the cover star – that, “since I was a little kid, I’ve been obsessed with superheroes.”

      “They’re all saving the earth all the time. But do you know who’s really going to save the earth? Old Black women.”

      Goldberg said the movie will focus on a Black woman learning how to wield her superhero powers later in life.

      She kept tight-lipped about further details, including casting and filming plans.

        See also…

      The new project came after Whoopi Goldberg said she kept getting shut down amid her attempts to make a “Sister Act 3” movie happen.

      “Any time anybody brings up ‘Sister Act’ it makes me happy. Because they keep telling me that no one wants to see a (third). And I know that that’s not so,” the actress/comedienne previously said after Lizzo paid homage to the franchise at MTV Movie Awards.

      She also said, “I’m a little older than I was. But I’m not very much different than I was.”

      In a more recent interview, Whoopi assured fans, “We’re working diligently to try to figure out how to get the gang together and come back.”

      In the original 1992 movie, Goldberg played Deloris Van Cartier, a lounge singer who’s forced to join a convent and change her name into Sister Mary Clarence after being placed in a witness protection program. The film was a box office success, grossing $231.6 million worldwide.

      A source tells The Sun newspaper the “Watermelon Sugar” star is “really excited about the challenge,” adding, “Harry will be having sex on screen and they want it to look as real as possible.”

      According to insiders, bosses plan to film two sex scenes between Harry and David and another where the hitmaker will be “naked on his own.”

      “Not much is going to be left to the imagination,” they mused. “Harry is throwing himself into this new role and is really excited about the challenge, even though it’s a daunting task.”

      “He always wants to do things that people wouldn’t expect and challenge what people think about him – and this film will really do that.”

      “My Policeman” is the film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Bethan Roberts and also stars “The Crown” ‘s Emma Corrin. It tells the story of Tom, a closeted policeman who marries Corrin’s Marion – despite his love for Patrick – due to social constraints at the time.

      The movie is directed by Michael Grandage. Rumor has it, Linus Roache is tapped as the older Tom while Rupert Everett as Patrick and Gina McKee as Marion.

      KISS Biopic Close to Landing on Netflix After Bidding War

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The project titled ‘Shout It Out Loud’ has ‘Kon-Tiki’ helmer Joachim Ronning on board as director and is billed to do for the rock band what ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ did for Queen.

      Apr 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      KISS is about to get its own movie. Nearly four decades since its formation, the iconic rock band’s life and history are going to be adapted for the big screen through a project called “Shout It Out Loud”, taken from the group’s hit song off their 1976 album “Destroyer”.

      According to Deadline, the biopic is close to landing on Netflix, with the streaming giant currently tying up a deal after a bidding war. Joachim Ronning, whose directing credits include “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”, “Kon-Tiki” and “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”, is set to take the helming duty.

      The band’s original members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will closely observe the project and serve as executive producers. The pic will be produced by Mark Canton through his Atmosphere Entertainment, Leigh Ann Burton through Opus 7, Courtney Solomon, David Blackman and Jody Gerson through Universal Music Group, as well as Doc McGhee through his McGee Entertainment. Atmosphere’s Dorothy Canton and David Hopwood will additionally executive produce it.

        See also…

      The script is written by Ole Sanders based on an earlier draft done by William Blake Herron. Aspiring to do for KISS what “Bohemian Rhapsody” did for Queen, the project will chronicle the band’s journey from Simmons and Stanley’s friendship when they were two misfit kids from Queens to the formation of the band, with them enlisting guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss.

      The movie will also capture how they’re trying “to set themselves apart from the ‘hair’ bands of the day, they accented their power chords and pyrotechnics with makeup. At heart, their formative story is in the vein of ‘The Commitments’, if that Irish soul band employed makeup and spiked heels.”

      The project is reportedly put on a fast track, though no official announcement has been made because the deal is not completed. Once the deal is sealed, it is expected that details of the movie, such as cast members, will be announced in no time.

      WENN/Dave Bedrosian

      Reacting to the producer’s decision to step back amid his bad behavior scandal, ‘The Greatest Showman’ actor vows to create an environment where everyone is seen, heard and valued.

      Apr 22, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Hugh Jackman has broken his silence following disgraced Broadway producer Scott Rudin’s decision to step back and reflect on his past bad behavior.

      Rudin is one of the people behind “The Greatest Showman” star’s “The Music Man” revival.

      In a statement released on Wednesday, April 21, Hugh assured fans the show will go on while the team behind the musical rebuilds.

      “I want to say how much I respect and applaud the people that have spoken up about their experience working with Scott Rudin,” Jackman writes. “It takes an enormous amount of courage and strength to stand up and state your truth.”

      “This has started a conversation that is long overdue, not just on Broadway, and the entertainment industry, but across all workforce. The most important voice we needed to hear from was Scott Rudin, he has now spoken up and stepped away from the Music Man. I hope and pray this is a journey of healing for all the victims and the community.”

      “We are currently rebuilding the Music Man team and are aspiring to create an environment that is not only safe, but ensures that everyone is seen, heard and valued. This is something that is and has always been very important to me.”

      “The Music Man” revival is still set to begin previews at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theater in December.

      Last weekend, Hugh’s co-star Sutton Foster also addressed the Rudin drama in an Instagram Live video, insisting the producer’s decision to step back from a series of projects, including “The Music Man”, was “the only positive outcome.”

      Rudin was exposed as a bad boss who threw baked potatoes at and slammed laptops down on his assistants in a The Hollywood Reporter article.
