      Taylor Swift Left Smitten by Fan's Idea in Turning 'The Last Great American Dynasty' to A Movie

      Proposing the idea via a social media post, the ‘Betty’ singer’s devotee suggests Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the stars of the possible project.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A Taylor Swift fan has envisioned a movie based on the star’s track “The Last Great American Dynasty” – and the hitmaker’s totally onboard.
      The user took to social media on their @TSlifestyle13 Twitter account to propose the idea, suggesting Taylor’s friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson should star in the film.
      “‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ would make an incredible movie. The story is timeless yet unique, the music would be exquisite, and it already has the perfect title. As for the cast: Blake Lively (Rebekah), Ryan Reynolds (Bill), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (neighbor),” the fan tweeted.
      Jesse was the first one to see the tweet and he retweeted it with the message, “Ok I’m avail for this.” Ryan later joined the conversation, responding, “But Bill’s heart… ?”.
      And they’re not the only ones up for getting involved in the possible project – the hitmaker herself also chimed in, writing, “not trying to be The Loudest Woman This Town Has Ever Seen but… I LOVE THIS.”

      Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift reacted to ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ movie idea.
      “The Last Great American Dynasty” is on Taylor’s latest album “Folklore”, and is based on eccentric heiress and ballet director Rebekah Harkness who once owned the singer’s multi-million-dollar beachfront mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

      The horror film, which was originally set to hit the theaters on October 16, centers on a struggling artist who begins to lose his sanity after discovering the story of Candyman.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Nia DaCosta’s forthcoming horror film “Candyman” has been pushed back to 2021.
      The movie was set to hit theatres on 16 October, but it is being held back due to the coronavirus pandemic and will now open some time next year, according to Variety.
      Directed by Nia DaCosta, it is based on a ghostly legend and centres on a struggling artist, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who begins to lose his sanity after discovering the story of “Candyman”.
      As the tale goes, if someone says his name to a mirror five times, “Candyman” will appear and kill whoever summoned him. The much-anticipated film was set to be one of the year’s biggest Halloween releases.
      The director explained on Twitter the film was pushed because the production team “wanted the horror and humanity of ‘CANDYMAN’ to be experienced in a collective.”

      Director Nia Dacosta talked about release delay of ‘Candyman’.
      She continued: “We made ‘CANDYMAN’ to be seen in theaters. Not just for the spectacle but because the film is about community and stories – how they shape each other, how they shape us. It’s about the collective experience of trauma and joy, suffering and triumph, and the stories we tell around it.”

      Zendaya-Starring Drama 'Malcolm and Marie' Acquired by Netflix With $30 Million Deal

      by

      Netflix

      Netflix makes the deal at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival where the streaming giant makes several splashy deals for ‘Bruised’ and ‘Pieces of a Woman’.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It has been reported that Netflix has acquired the worldwide rights to Sam Levinson’s “Malcolm & Marie” movie starring Zendaya Coleman and John David Washington. According to Deadline, the streaming giant wrapped up a deal near $30 million to get the rights. The deal was negotiated by Endeavor Content and CAA.
      “I am so grateful to this cast and crew, many of whom are my ‘Euphoria’ family, for coming together during such uncertain times. We felt privileged to be able to make this film together and we did so with a lot of love. We are all thrilled that it has ended up with Netflix which is unparalleled in allowing filmmakers the freedom to tell their stories that reach audiences all over the world,” Levinson, who wrote and produced the film, said in a statement.
      “Malcolm & Marie” stars John David as a filmmaker. His girlfriend (Zendaya) returns home following a celebratory movie premiere, and expecting to celebrate success. However, revelations about their relationships begin to surface, putting the strength of their love on a test.
      The drama was shot during the production lockdown from June 17 to July 2 in Carmel, California, on 35mm in black and white with help from Fotokem, marking the first post-pandemic film to complete production. Kevin Turen and Ashley Levinson serve as producer, while Zendaya, John David, Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Will Greenfield, Aaron L. Gilbert and Scott Mescudi are credited as executive producers.
      Netflix makes the deal at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival where Netflix makes several splashy deals. During the largely virtual affair, the streamer paid $20 million for global rights to Halle Berry’s directorial debut “Bruised”. It also bought “Pieces of a Woman”, a drama starring Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf as couple shattered by the loss of their newborn baby.

      'Tenet' Surpasses $200 Million at Global Box Office

      by

      Warner Bros.

      While the Christopher Nolan-directed action thriller reaches the milestone worldwide, Disney’s live-action remake of ‘Mulan’ opens with an underwhelming $23.3 million.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s action thriller “Tenet” has surpassed the $200 million (£156.4 million) milestone at the global box office.
      The first major blockbuster to hit the big screen following the coronavirus shutdown is continuing to draw fans back to theatres, adding $6.7 million (£5.2 million) from the North American market in its second weekend on release.
      It also brought in $10 million (£7.8 million) from the Chinese box office to take the movie’s worldwide total to $207 million (£161.9 million).
      Meanwhile, Disney’s live-action remake of “Mulan”, starring Liu Yifei as the titular heroine, was another new title for theatre-goers in China to check out, although it opened with an underwhelming $23.3 million (£18.2 million) after filmmakers came under fire for shooting parts of the picture in Xinjiang – a highly controversial province where Uighur Muslims have been detained in mass internment camps – and adding a message of thanks to local authorities in the closing credits.
      Disney’s Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy has since responded to the backlash received over the filming location, reports Deadline.
      “Let me just put something into context,” she explained. “The real facts are that ‘Mulan’ was primarily shot – almost in entirety – in New Zealand.
      “In an effort to accurately depict some of the unique landscape and geography of the country of China for this period drama, we filmed scenery in 20 different locations in China.”
      Although “Mulan” is available in some theatres globally, Disney bosses opted to release the film via its Disney+ app for U.S. audiences as a premium add-on, costing $30 (£23).

      Disney Exec Admits Backlash Over Xinjiang Filming Gets 'Mulan' 'a Lot of Publicity'

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      The Mouse House has responded as the ‘Mulan’ remake is criticized for being filmed in the province where Uighur Muslims were detained in mass internment camps.
      Sep 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Disney CFO Christine McCarthy has addressed backlash over the studio’s new live-action remake of “Mulan”.
      The film, which streams exclusively on the Disney+ on demand service, has proven controversial among fans after it was discovered that portions of it were filmed in the Xinjiang province of China.
      The film’s credits also include a thank you to authorities in Xinjiang – a highly controversial location where Uighur Muslims have been detained in mass internment camps.
      Missouri’s Republican junior senator, Josh Hawley, sent a letter to Disney condemning the company for “whitewashing the ongoing genocide of Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities during the production of Mulan” – and now McCarthy has responded.
      “I’m not a box-office prognosticator, but it (backlash) has generated a lot of publicity,” she stated, reported Deadline. “Let me just put something into context. The real facts are that Mulan was primarily shot – almost in entirety – in New Zealand.”
      “In an effort to accurately depict some of the unique landscape and geography of the country of China for this period drama, we filmed scenery in 20 different locations in China.”
      “It’s common knowledge that, in order to film in China, you have to be granted permission. That permission comes from the central government,” she stated, adding that it’s common “to acknowledge in a film’s credits the national and local governments that allowed you to film there.”
      “So, in our credits, it recognised both China and locations in New Zealand. I would just leave it at that, but it has generated a lot of issues for us.”
      “Mulan”, which stars Liu Yifei as the titular heroine, premiered in Hollywood in March but a wider theatrical release has been repeatedly delayed due to the coronavirus crisis. It is available to view on the streamer as a premium add-on costing $30 (£23).
