    The ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge and producer has joined forces with the Oscar-winning filmmaker to search for new musical stars from across the 50 states in the United States.

    Oct 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Simon Cowell has reportedly teamed up with Oscar-winning movie boss Ron Howard to find 50 new singing sensations from across the U.S.
    “50 States to Stardom” is set to feature a mini-documentary, focusing on each of America’s regions, alongside a contest to find a musical star from each one.
    “America’s Got Talent” star Simon has partnered with Howard for the project, according to reports, with a Los Angeles TV source claiming the show will “mix the drama and winning format of what we see in competition, with the dramatic elements of contestants’ home lives, struggles and experience.”

    “The show format will play out in the USA with a view to it becoming a global franchise,” they added, according to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, with insiders confirming The X Factor mogul has handpicked a selection of judges for the format.”
    Howard, who directed hit movies including “Apollo 13” and “The Da Vinci Code, will team up with Cowell’s production company Syco for the show, which comes after it was revealed by NBC bosses that “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” will not be returning in January (21).
    Simon Cowell is currently taking a timeout as he is recovering from a surgery after he fell from a bicycle in August. He broke his back and went under the knife to have a metal rod fitted to his spine to fix his bones. He is reportedly having daily physiotherapy sessions and walking 10,000 steps a day.

      'Rebuilding Paradise' Producers to Allocate Proceeds to Wildfire Relief Efforts

      by

      National Geographic

      To debut on the National Geographic channel in November, this Ron Howard-directed documentary focuses on the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire which destroyed the city of Paradise in California.
      Oct 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The producers of filmmaker Ron Howard’s new disaster documentary are offering up proceeds from streaming sales and downloads to aid the ongoing wildlife relief effort in California.
      “Rebuilding Paradise”, which focuses on the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire which destroyed the city of Paradise in California, will debut on the National Geographic channel on 8 November – the second anniversary of the disaster – and the producers of the film have committed a portion of all sales and rentals of the documentary, currently available to stream and watch online, throughout Fire Prevention Month to wildfire recovery efforts in Paradise and the surrounding areas.
      “We at Imagine Documentaries are thankful to our partners at National Geographic Documentary Films for the continued effort to share this very important and timely film with a wider audience,” Howard says. “There is no doubt that climate change is a contributing factor to the historic fires burning even now on the West Coast, devastating entire communities. This should be a wake-up call. Paradise could be any of us.”

      “We are proud to continue to share the timely and urgent story of Paradise with viewers around the world. We hope this film and our impact efforts can bring much-needed attention and aid to the resilient community of Paradise and surrounding areas as they rebuild, especially now, in the face of additional threats from wildfire disasters,” Carolyn Bernstein, EVP Global Scripted Content and Documentary Films at National Geographic, added.

      The Camp Fire ravaged Paradise on 8 November, 2018, claiming the lives of 85 people and destroying 95 per cent of local structures. It was the deadliest U.S. fire in 100 years – and the worst ever in California’s history.
      The Paradise locals were in the line of fire again last month, when the North Complex Fire forced them to evacuate properties for a day.
