      Brandon Routh Teases Possibility of His Superman's Return in Flash Movie

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Superman Returns’ actor, who recently reprised his role as the Man of Steel in ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ crossover, says everything is possible with his character.

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Brandon Routh has no reservations about his return as Superman, though the role has gone through another incarnation with Henry Cavill taking over the baton in the DCEU. Speaking in a new interview with the Geek House Show, the actor is open to the possibility of reprising the role in a Flash movie.
      “I mean, that’s always a possibility,” Routh said of the potential for him to return in a DCEU movie. “And of course since they’re bringing back Michael Keaton, which I’m excited about, and some other people from past DC projects, I think it’s very exciting.”
      Citing his Superman’s return in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover on The CW’s Arrowverse, the “Superman Returns” star added, “It worked very well with ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’, and I was extremely proud and honored to be a part of it and to reprise Superman, so it’s absolutely a possibility.”
      He went on explaining how it works with superhero character in comic books, “I mean, you can do anything with Superman. You know everybody lives and dies all the time [in the comics].”

      While The Flash movie has been showing very little progress since it underwent director change several times from 2018 until 2019, it was recently reported that Michael Keaton was in talks to reprise his role as Batman in Ezra Miller’s standalone superhero film. The “Birdman” star first donned the cape and cowl for 1989’s “Batman” and its sequel “Batman Returns”.
      According to TheWrap.com, Keaton’s return is made possible because the storyline will include multiverse, in which multiple versions of the same characters exist in alternate universes. It’s additionally noted that Keaton’s return as Batman won’t affect the plot outlined in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” which stars Robert Pattinson in the title role.
      As for Routh, he only got one chance to portray Superman on the big screen, after his 2006’s film “Superman Returns” received lukewarm response at Box Office despite majorly positive reviews from critics.

      Charlie Hunnam on Tom Hardy as the Next James Bond: That Would Be Sensational

      by

      ‘The Gentlemen’ actor has also shared his thought on the possibility of him being picked to take over the 007 role from Daniel Craig, admitting that he ‘shouldn’t be waiting for that phone call to come.’

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Charlie Hunnam is backing Tom Hardy as the next James Bond, while confessing he’d love to have a crack at 007 himself.
      The actor is considered a rank outsider to take over from Daniel Craig and the smart money is on Hardy landing the role, but Hunnam is calling on fans to keep putting him in the mix – because he knows Hollywood loves chatter.
      “I would be so flattered and honored to be considered to play James Bond as an Englishman, but my intuition tells me that I shouldn’t be waiting for that phone call to come,” he tells People. “I think there are many people ahead of me on that list.”

      Admitting “it’s very flattering sort of fan dialogue,” he notes that “nobody’s ever, on a professional level from within the industry, brought that up to me.” Still, he urges people to keep bringing it up, saying, “As much as people want to talk about me playing James Bond, please continue. Maybe that’s the genesis of these things. Maybe fan chatter leads to industry people actually talking about it in a more serious way.”
      Like many, he’d love to see Hardy as 007, “I hear that he’s really the front runner. I think that would be sensational. I’m an enormous Tom Hardy fan, so I would love to see him as James Bond.”
      Recent reports suggested Bond bosses were about to name Hardy as Craig’s successor just before the release of the latest 007 film, “No Time to Die”, but when the movie shifted from November to next Easter (21), producer Barbara Broccoli announced no casting would be confirmed until the new film came out.

      'The Witches': Studio 'Saddened' by Backlash Over 'Damaging Portrayal' of Disability

      by

      Warner Bros.

      Movie bosses at Warner Brothers release an apology to the disability community as they regret upsetting people with the depiction of the eponymous characters.

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Warner Bros. officials have issued an apology after prominent members of the disability community condemned the depiction of the eponymous characters in “The Witches”.
      In the movie, inspired by Roald Dahl’s children’s novel of the same name, Anne Hathaway’s character is shown with hands that are similar to the limb abnormality ectrodactyly, which is characterized by the absence of one or more central digits on the hand or foot.
      After figures including campaigners, Paralympians, and Paralympic Games organization officials took issue with the film, Warner Bros. bosses told Deadline they were “deeply saddened to learn that our depiction of the fictional characters in ‘The Witches’ could upset people with disabilities” and “regretted any offense caused.”
      “In adapting the original story, we worked with designers and artists to come up with a new interpretation of the cat-like claws that are described in the book,” they added.

      “It was never the intention for viewers to feel that the fantastical, non-human creatures were meant to represent them.”
      British Paralympic swimmer Amy Marren was one of the first to call out the studio for the imagery, while disability advocate Shannon Crossland stated on Instagram that the imagery in the film was “no way a reflection of the original novel written by Roald Dahl.”
      In the 1983 novel, the witches are said to have “square feet with no toes” and “claws instead of fingernails,” with Marren adding, “Is this the kind of message we want the next generation to receive. That having three fingers is a witch’s attribute?”
      “It is an extremely damaging portrayal,” she insisted. “Disability should NOT be associated with evil, abnormality, disgust, fear or monsters.”

      Seth Rogen Pours Cold Water to Potential 'Superbad' Sequel

      WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

      While he believes the cast of the 2007 comedy is too old for a follow-up film, the ‘Long Shot’ actor admits that he has been talking a lot about a sequel to ‘Pineapple Express’.

      Nov 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Seth Rogen has doused “Superbad” fans’ dreams of a sequel, insisting the cast is too old to make a follow-up to the hit comedy.
      The actor/writer recently teamed up with his co-stars from the 2007 movie for an online reunion, but he insists film fans are reading too much into the get together if they think it was staged to spark a possible “Superbad II”.
      “There has not been talk of it,” he tells “Good Morning America”. “I think we’re all much too old. Ben Stiller is 65 years old now, which he doesn’t look, but I I think he’s too old to play a high school kid,” Seth quipped, of the 54-year-old.
      “We all get along… We all really like each other…,” he continued. “We hang out and see each other regularly, but I don’t think a Superbad sequel is coming any time soon.”

      But there are other films Rogen is considering revisiting, adding, “People seem to want a ‘Pineapple Express’ sequel – that’s something we talk about a lot. ‘Sausage Party’ is a film we made that we talk about.”
      Also starring Jonah Hill, “Superbad” follows two co-dependent high school seniors who are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a drinking party goes in vain. The 2007 was a critical hit, earning around $20 million.
      The cast also includes Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bill Harder, Emma Stones, Martha MacIsaac, Joe Lo Truglio, Kevin Corrigan and [c=Dave Franco among others.

      Rami Malek on Rumors His 'No Time to Die' Character Is Bond Villain Dr. No: 'You Will Be Shocked'

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The Academy Award-winning actor responds to fan theories that he’s secretly playing Dr. No, though his villainous character has been officially addressed as Safin.

      Nov 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A good movie is known for keeping a twist until the climax, so Rami Malek won’t spill any about his movie “No Time to Die”. Amid the long wait for the next James Bond film, the actor has responded to one of biggest fan theories about his villainous character.
      There have been rambling talks that the “Bohemian Rhapsody” star is secretly playing Dr. No in the upcoming movie, though his character has been officially addressed as Safin in interviews and promotional photos. Dr. No is the first villain that the 007 agent ever faced on the big screen.
      Fueling the speculation is the fact that Malek’s character is barely seen without gloves on in footage of the movie. Dr. No famously had robotic hands in the 1962 Bond film, which was titled after the main villain.

      In a new interview with British GQ, Malek admitted that he’s aware of the rumors saying he’s possibly playing a 21st incarnation of Dr. No. “Yes,” he responded to the question, nodding thoughtfully. Remaining tight-lipped, he added, “That’s interesting. I’m not going to bite on that, but I do think it’s interesting. They’ll just have to wait and see.”
      One thing for sure, the 39-year-old actor claimed that viewers will be blown away by the film. “Let the rumors fly,” he said, before teasing, “because no matter what you expect from this movie, you will be shocked when you watch the film. I will not add any fuel to that fire.”
      Director Cary Fukunaga, meanwhile, explained how “No Time to Die” villain is designed as the largest Bond film to date. “Once we got into Christoph Waltz/Blofeld territory, you can’t go small again,” he told the publication. “We had to think bigger. It’s tricky because you don’t want to make a cliche super villain, but you have to make someone that’s threatening not only to Bond and the people he loves but to the world at large.”
      “No Time to Die” theatrical release has been pushed back several times due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, MGM and Eon Productions announced that the movie will arrive on April 2, 2021.

      Charlie Hunnam Claims Russell Brand Did Justice to 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Role He Passed

      by

      WENN/Universal Pictures/DJDM

      Although Jason Segel wrote the part of rock star Aldous Snow with him in mind, the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor admits he was ‘in a dark night of the soul’ in his career at the time.

      Nov 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Charlie Hunnam is glad he turned down the role of rock star Aldous Snow in pal Jason Segel’s film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, because he would never have given the performance funnyman Russell Brand did.
      Segel wrote the part with Hunnam in mind after the two pals agreed it was time to make a movie together, but when he read the script and sat down for the first production meeting, he realised he wasn’t in the right place to play Snow and risked his friendship with Jason by telling him he was walking away from their dream.
      “I went and I did the table read and it was very successful… (but) I was in a dark night of the soul in my career, at that point, and felt as though I needed to seize the trajectory and that (film) just wasn’t really aligning with, at that period of my life and career, what I wanted to be doing,” Charlie tells Collider.
      “Jason was one of my best friends, which is why he wrote the film for me, but I had to tell him, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m not gonna do this’. It was one of those things where that wasn’t very well received by the inner circle of that production. I had to stand my ground and say, ‘Listen, it’s nothing personal. I’m just following my North star. I’m just in a weird spot and I’m trying to define for myself what the path forward is’.”

        See also…

      “It was really difficult for me for the few months after that.”
      Hunnam, who also walked away from the “Fifty Shades of Grey” film franchise, admits he had no idea who Brand was when he heard he had been offered the Snow role, but quickly realised the comedian was the perfect choice for the part.
      “I saw this piece of stand-up that Russell Brand did on Christmas Day with my mum,” the actor recalls. “It was just this liberating moment where I said, ‘Obviously, that’s the dude who should have been playing that role.’ Clearly, I just needed to step out of the way of the universe manifesting itself, the way that it was supposed to.”
      “There’s no way I could have done it justice the way Russell Brand did. I think there’s a rhythm to these things and you just have to really follow your instincts. It’s all you can really ever do. I suppose I brought that up because it’s a nice example of my instincts being proven to me that it was correct, I think (sic).”

      Wesley Snipes Blames Racism in Response to Patton Oswalt's Violent Claims on 'Blade: Trinity' Set

      by

      New Line Cinema

      The Blade depicter sarcastically remarks that Oswalt is ‘a reliable authority on me,’ after the latter revealed that Snipes was difficult to work with and even tried to strangle director David Goyer.

      Nov 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Wesley Snipes has denied Patton Oswalt’s allegations about his diva behaviors on the set of 2004’s movie “Blade: Trinity”. Telling his side of the story in an interview with The Guardian, the 58-year-old actor insinuated that his co-star made demeaning claims about him because he’s black.
      “A reliable authority on me,” he sarcastically said of the stand-up comedian, who also starred in the horror movie. “Let me tell you one thing. If I had tried to strangle David Goyer, you probably wouldn’t be talking to me now. A black guy with muscles strangling the director of a movie is going to jail, I guarantee you,” he responded to Oswalt’s claim that he “tried to strangle the director, David Goyer.” He firmly denied it, saying, “Did I go to jail for strangling him? Never happened.”
      When asked about Oswalt’s claim that “he would only communicate through Post-it notes. And he would sign each Post-it note ‘From Blade’,” Snipes replied, “Once again, Mr Oswalt is the authority. Hohoho! Why do people believe this guy’s version of this story? Answer me that.”
      He went accusing Oswalt of singling him out due to his race, saying, “This is part of the challenges that we as African Americans face here in America – these microaggressions. The presumption that one white guy can make a statement and that statement stands as true!”

        See also…

      “Why would people believe his version is true? Because they are predisposed to believing the black guy is always the problem,” he hit back at the allegations. “And all it takes is one person, Mr Oswalt, who I really don’t know. I can barely remember him on the set, but it’s fascinating that his statement alone was enough to make people go: ‘Yeah, you know Snipes has got a problem.’ ”
      Asserting his role behind the scenes, Snipes said, “I remind you that I was one of the executive producers of the project. I had contractual director approval. I was not just the actor for hire. I had au-thor-i-ty to say, to dictate, to decide. This was a hard concept for a lot of people to wrap their heads around.”

      Oswalt made the damning allegations against Snipes in an interview with the AV Club in 2012. He said that the “Demolition Man” star was “f**king crazy in a hilarious way.”

      John Boyega Admits to Have 'Very Transparent' Conversation With Disney Over 'Star Wars' Dispute

      by

      WENN/Lia Toby

      Since voicing his anger over the treatment of his character Finn, the ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ actor shares hopes that his decision to take a stand will encourage the increase of cast and crew diversity.

      Nov 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – John Boyega has settled his differences with Disney executives over his character’s role in the “Star Wars” franchise – but wants them to hire more black filmmakers.
      The British actor went public with his anger at “Star Wars” producers earlier this year, accusing them of sidelining his character, Finn, after the opening 2015 instalment of the latest trilogy.
      Since his criticisms were made public in GQ magazine, he says he’s spoken to executives – and hopes his decision to take a stand will encourage them, and other Hollywood studios, to increase the diversity of their casts and crews.
      “It was a very honest, a very transparent conversation,” Boyega tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There was a lot of explaining on their end in terms of the way they saw things. They gave me a chance also to explain what my experience was like.”

        See also…

      “I’d hope that me being so open with my career, at this stage, would help the next man, the guy that wants to be the assistant DOP (director of photography), the guy that wants to be a producer. I hope that the conversation is not such a taboo or elephant in the room now, because someone just came and said it.”

      The “Detroit” star has earned plaudits for his honest outspokenness on racism and other issues, and says it’s just his way of cutting through a “system” in which there’s a lot of “pretence.”
      “I don’t care about trying to mesh in with the system in order to secretly work it,” he adds. “That’s just not my way. Everyone’s just got to have an honest and open conversation. It doesn’t have to be conflicting or rude, but it’s a chance for us to actually, really and truly understand where each other is coming from.”
      His next role comes in “Red, White and Blue”, a part of director Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” anthology of films about black Britons.
