      Meanwhile, Hemsworth previously said, “The last three films, I think we certainly pushed the envelope. We’ve had a few different versions of the character. Now people expect dramatic change. We’ve got our work cut out for us.” He added, “We’ve got a fantastic slew of actor’s in there, and cast and crew.”

      Ludacris Under Fire for 'Propaganda' Film 'The Ride' About Real-Life White Supremacist

      by

      Outsider Pictures

      Twitter users are not impressed that the ‘Fast and Furious’ actor stars in the movie about an interracial couple fostering a troubled teen who was raised as a white supremacist.

      Nov 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – While racism still becomes a concerning issue among black community in the U.S., Ludacris’ new movie “The Ride” seems to be trying to show that there’s goodness to be found in a hater. The film, which premiered on Amazone Prime this Friday, November 13, is based on a real-life story of an interracial couple fostering a troubled teen who was raised as a white supremacist.
      The rapper-turned-actor plays one-half of the couple, who decides to help the violent teen by becoming his foster parents. Over time, their shared bond and moments change the young man’s perspective and he sheds his racist ways.
      Despite the heart-warming storyline that seems to end on a good note, people were not impressed that they’ve decided to capitalize on such story. Others accused that they made the movie to make white people less guilty about the oppression suffered by black people at their hands.
      Taking to Twitter, these critics have sounded off their issues with “The Ride” and most of them picked on Ludacris for being part of it. “Something sick about these young black rappers being stuck in the violence of poverty as older rappers court capitalists and shame them. Still can’t believe ludacris made a feel good movie with about white supremacy,” one person wrote.
      Another shared his dilemma that while he agrees with helping a troubled teen like John McCord (Shane Graham) in the movie, he’s not into turning the story into a film. “People are s**tting on that new ludacris movie and it’s justified but I don’t agree with the whole not helping these teens that get into those white supremacist groups. I’ve legit had to help some kids leave that anti sjw type of racism. Probably woulda been skinheads later on,” the said person opined. “Making it into a movie so white people can feel good is corny though.”

      Calling it a propaganda to suppress the protests against racism, a third user marveled, “Has Hollywood ever produced worse propaganda than this?” Another echoed the sentiment, “Burden, The Blind Side, Best of Enemies and now that bs with Ludacris … The Ride? for the love of everything that is actually progressive, let de racist pacification propaganda END PLS.”
      “Who in the world is gonna see this? Gay BMX side storyline. And when I see Ludacris I think of him in Crash where he had some anti white lines about how they think blacks will steal from them, and then he stole their car lmao,” another brutally slammed the movie.
      “This entire movie sounds like tone-deaf garbage. Imagine trying to engage in apologetics for white supremacists when they’re responsible for almost all domestic terrorism in America. Ludacris is an idiot for this,” another added.
      Someone else blasted Ludacris as tweeting, “@Ludacris Complete disappointed Fan, this ain’t a bridge to gap! This is coonin They steal and kill Our Children, theirs Kill Us and go to Burger King. Ludacris Takes In Kid Raised As A White Supremacist In New Movie ‘The Ride,’ Twitter Already Says We Good.”
      Ludacris has not responded to the backlash over his new movie. Earlier this month, he appeared to be proud of “The Ride” as he reposted the trailer on his Twitter page and wrote along with it, “One choice changed his life, one family changed his heart. Based on the inspiring true story, featuring The Ride stars Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Shane Graham and Sasha Alexander is available on Amazon Prime November 13!”

      Charlie Hunnam Has Not Had the Chance to Regret Turning Down 'Pacific Rim: Uprising'

      by

      Warner Bros.

      Having starred in the original 2013 movie directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor explains the real reason why he had to step away from the follow-up project.

      Nov 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Charlie Hunnam still has no idea if he regrets exiting the “Pacific Rim” sequel – because he never saw the film.
      The Brit starred in director Guillermo Del Toro’s 2013 movie and was on board for the filmmaker’s follow-up, but when the movie studio exchanged hands and Del Toro stepped away from the project, Hunnam had second thoughts.
      And when the new filmmakers wanted to turn the film around in a hurry, Charlie’s schedule didn’t quite fit and he was forced to turn down the sequel.

      “By the time they circled around and decided that they were gonna make it with a different director, we had a conversation about it but I was booked up,” the “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” actor tells Collider. “There were business elements of it that required them to go into production very quickly.”
      “Legendary had just been acquired by Wanda out of China, and they wanted that film made very quickly and I wasn’t available. That’s just what happens.”
      “I didn’t deeply lament it… We’d already done one Pacific Rim, so I felt like, ‘Go with God. Go do your thing’. I actually haven’t seen the sequel, so I didn’t ever give myself an opportunity to really think about whether I regret that decision or not.”
      Written by Travis Beacham and del Toro, “Pacific Rim” is set in the future, when Earth is at war with colossal sea monsters called Kaiju which have emerged from an interdimensional portal on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The follow-up, 2018’s “Pacific Rim: Uprising”, was directed by Steven S. DeKnight and starred John Boyega and Scott Eastwood.

      'Home Alone' Director Slams Planned Reboot as a 'Waste of Time'

      by

      Twentieth Century Fox

      Chris Columbus says that ‘nobody got in touch’ with him about the remake of his holiday classic that is being developed for Disney+, adding that the reboot will not have the same spark as the original movie.

      Nov 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chris Columbus is totally against the idea of bringing “Home Alone” back as a new project. In an interview with Insider to mark the 30th anniversary of the movie, the helmer of the 1990 movie talks about the holiday classic, including the remake that is being developed for Disney+.
      Columbus says he wasn’t contacted about the reboot, but he thinks that it’s for the best because he believes that the project is “a waste of time.” He tells the site, “No, nobody got in touch with me about it, and it’s a waste of time as far as I’m concerned.”
      “What’s the point?” he states, believing that the reboot will not have the same spark as the original movie. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t remake films that have had the longevity of ‘Home Alone’. You’re not going to create lightning in a bottle again. It’s just not going to happen.”
      He continues expressing his skepticism with the planned reboot, “So why do it? It’s like doing a paint-by-numbers version of a Disney animated film – a live-action version of that. What’s the point? It’s been done. Do your own thing. Even if you fail miserably, at least you have come up with something original.”

        See also…

      Having directed the sequel “Home Alone 2”, Columbus cites the second film as the example of such failure. “I can even be accused of it myself, with ‘Home Alone 2’. That movie is basically a remake of the first ‘Home Alone’,” he admits. “Does it need to exist? Yes, because some of those stunts make me laugh really hard, but I just don’t believe it should be done.”
      During the interview, Columbus also talked about Donald Trump’s cameo in “Home Alone 2”. He claims that the former real-estate tycoon was “bullying” his way into the movie as he demanded to be in the sequel in exchange for a permit to shoot in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time.
      “Trump said OK. We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie,’ ” Columbus recalled. “So we agreed to put him in the movie, and when we screened it for the first time the oddest thing happened: People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen. So I said to my editor, ‘Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.’ But he did bully his way into the movie.”
      Disney+ announced plan to revive “Home Alone” last year, after the Mouse House acquired FOX which owns rights to the franchise. The film will star Archie Yates as a new kid named Max, with Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney also among the cast. Its script is written by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell, while Dan Mazer is tapped to direct.

      Amber Heard Counters 'Aquaman 2' Recast Petition With Return Confirmation

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      More than one million people have signed the online plea that urges Warner Bros. bosses to replace the Mena depicter after they fired her ex Johnny Depp from ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’.

      Nov 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Amber Heard has confirmed she’ll be reprising her role as Mera in the “Aquaman” sequel, despite a fan petition to recast the part.
      More than one million people have signed the note urging Warner Bros. bosses to replace Amber after they recently axed her ex-husband Johnny Depp from his role in the latest “Fantastic Beasts” film following his libel case loss against The Sun newspaper editors, who called him a “wife-beater” in a story.
      The new change.org petition to “Remove Amber Heard from ‘Aquaman 2’ ” crossed the one million signatures mark on Thursday morning (November 12), but Heard insists she isn’t going anywhere and tells Entertainment Weekly she’s all set to return to the Marvel franchise.

      “I’m super excited about the amount of fan love and the amount of fan appreciation that ‘Aquaman’ has acquired and that it has garnered so much excitement for ‘Aquaman’ and Mera that it means we’ll be coming back,” she said. “I’m so excited to film that.”
      “Paid rumours and paid campaigns on social media don’t dictate (casting decisions) because they have no basis in reality. Only the fans actually made ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Aquaman 2’ happen. I’m excited to get started next year,” the 34-year-old actress insisted.
      Meanwhile, the actress is still facing a defamation suit from her ex after suggesting he abused her in a 2019 Washington Post article.
      Depp insists he was never abusive towards his ex, denying all her claims against him. He plans to appeal the U.K. court’s decision over his libel case.

      Kate Mara Learned Importance of Speaking Up After Horrible Experience Filming 'Fantastic Four'

      by

      Twentieth Century Fox

      While she does not regret doing the Josh Trank-directed superhero film, the actress wife of Jamie Bell comes clean about feeling she was not valued on the set because she is a woman.

      Nov 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kate Mara has opened up about her awful experience shooting 2015 film flop “Fantastic Four”, revealing she felt the shoot would have been more fun if she was a guy.
      Director Josh Trank’s superhero film was panned by critics and struggled at the box office, and now Kate admits she felt like she wasn’t valued on the set.
      “I had a horrible experience on ‘Fantastic Four’ and I’ve never talked about it before,” she says in a new Television Academy interview. “Do I wish I had responded differently to certain things? Yes, definitely.”
      “The fact of the matter is that my two horrendous experiences with directors were male directors. Have I not gotten along with a female director? Absolutely. And was it not the greatest work experience? Sure. But there was never a time that I felt, ‘This is happening because I’m a woman’.”

        See also…

      “With the male directors, it 100 percent was only happening with me; it was a power dynamic thing. And on both of my bad experiences, the movies were 95 percent men and I was the only woman in the movie.”
      Kate also tells Collider, “I think that the thing that I always go back to on that one is that I think I should have followed my instincts more. Like when my gut was telling me, ‘You probably shouldn’t let that slide, what that person just said’, or if you’re feeling a certain way about what an energy is like and how that is affecting your performance… You’re being paid to do a certain thing and if something is in the way of that, you have the right to speak up and say, ‘I’m actually not able to do what I am here to do because of X, Y and Z’.”
      “I think that speaking up is something that I think that we all probably learn it over and over again, to follow your instincts and if you’re feeling a certain thing that is uneasy or whatever, there’s a reason for it. I regret not having stood up for myself. I regret that for sure.”
      But Mara insists she still doesn’t regret making “Fantastic Four”, because she met her future husband – Jamie Bell – on the set.
      “I married one of my co-stars, so I don’t regret doing that movie at all,” she adds.
