    Ruby Rose 'Very Grateful' for Being Able to Do Almost All of Her Stunts in 'The Doorman'

    by

    Lionsgate Home Entertainment

    Speaking about the action movie, the former ‘Batwoman’ star claims to be drawn to the project because her ex-soldier character Ali is ‘entirely different to any character’ she has played before.
    Oct 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose had “fun kicking butt” as she did almost all of her own stunts in new action movie “The Doorman”.
    The flick sees Ruby star as Ali, a former soldier who returns to New York City and takes a job as a doorman at a fancy high rise building during its renovation, only to find thieves are using the building work as a cover to locate something hidden somewhere in the hotel.
    Speaking to website ThirdCoastReview.com, the star revealed she did “99.9 per cent” of her own stunts in the movie, insisting she had no idea how intense the Ryuhei Kitamura- directed movie was going to be.
    “I didn’t know that the stunts would be as incredible as they were,” she explained. “Ryuhei specialises in that, so I did know it would be incredible, but I didn’t realise until we were training quite how much he believed in me to pull off really long sequences and really crazy stuff.”
    According to Ruby, there was one stunt – a backflip – that she didn’t do herself but, after seeing her stunt double, who she described as a “short, stocky, muscular dude,” she realized she’d have to step up to the game.

    “I took one look at him and said, ‘That’s not going to work, so I’ll be doing all of this’,” explained the actress. “Again, I loved that because once I realized I’d be doing all of it, I was like ‘We have to get right into this.’ ”
    She continued, “I feel very grateful for that because it is fun kicking butt for that long. But what really drew me to the film was that I really like Ryuhei as a director – he was already attached – and I love action films, I love being physical.”
    She went on to admit “it was the story that drew me into” the project, because Ali is an “entirely different to any character I’ve played before.”
    “I don’t like playing the same character twice, and in action, sometimes there are types of characters that feel familiar, and even if it’s a good script, that’s great, but I’ve already played this character or an iteration of this character,” explained the “Batwoman” star.
    “The Doorman”, also starring Jean Reno, Rupert Evans and Aksel Hennie, is out now.

      Ruby Rose Cites Covid-19 Pandemic as Reason for Her 'Batwoman' Exit

      by

      The CW

      The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress claims the coronavirus lockdown prompted her to decide to give up her superhero role on The CW’s new DC show after just one season.
      Oct 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose decided to leave “Batwoman” after just one season because the Covid-19 lockdown gave her time to “think and reflect” about the programme.
      The 34-year-old’s decision to leave the show came as a shock to fans, considering she’d only starred in the title role for one season.
      Addressing her exit on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show”, however, Ruby denied that a back injury was her main reason for her departure, insisting having time to think about her acting career during lockdown influenced her decision.
      “I think what played a bigger part was more, we got shut down early. We didn’t get to finish the first season, which is such a shame, especially for a first season show,” she explained.
      “Then we went into lockdown with Covid and thinking of in quarantine and locked down, there was a lot of thought and reflection and everyone did it. You know, we all kind of thought about where we’re at. We were discussing the show and we had a conversation.”

      She continued, “I had a great time on Batwoman. I am so proud of what we achieved. We set out to achieve something pretty significant, the first-ever live-action Batwoman and the first-ever out gay superhero, her and Kate Kane.”
      “I love that character and the whole experience, but we did have a discussion and we sort of mutually agreed that probably what was best for the show at the time was they go in a different direction and I go in a different direction.”
      Ruby also insisted that she doesn’t have any bad feelings about her exit and will be watching the second season, which will star Javicia Leslie in the title role.
      “It was tough cause it was sad cause we will love each other, but also it made sense for so many different reasons. And I think at the end of the day, I’m really excited to watch season two. I think the show is great. I love the cast,” she smiled.
      “I’m still in contact with everyone, but it was a decision that we talked about, we discussed, we slept on. But at the time with all that reflection, it just seemed like the right thing to do.”

      Ruby Rose Admits Returning to Film 'Batwoman' Soon After Back Surgery 'Wasn't the Best Idea'

      by

      The CW

      In a new interview, the ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage’ star reveals her back injury played a part in her decision to exit The CW’s series, though she’s keen on returning to TV someday.
      Aug 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose has finally revealed the real reasons behind her shocking departure from “Batwoman”. Less than three months after choosing to stay silent about her exit from The CW’s series, the actress known for her role as Kate Kane divulged that her back injury played a big part in her deciding against returning for a second season.
      The 34-year-old actress, who injured her back in an on-set accident in 2019, made the revelation in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on Monday, August 11. When addressing the challenges she faced as the lead star, she confessed that her decision to return filming the superhero series soon after undergoing back surgery “wasn’t the best idea.”
      Having said that “being the lead of a superhero show was tough,” Ruby explained, “But I think, in that particular instance, it was a lot more difficult because I was still recovering from my surgery. I had my surgery and then 10 days later I went to work, which maybe wasn’t the best idea.” She added, “Most people take about a month or three off before they return to work, so it was definitely made more difficult by that.”
      In the chat, the former “Orange Is the New Black” star additionally offered another reason for her exit. “It wasn’t so much [the injury], especially because after we wrapped up we didn’t get to finish the real finale because of COVID,” she shared. “You know, you have time in quarantine and sort of isolation to just think about a lot of different things and what you want to achieve in life and what you want to do.”
      Fortunately, Ruby was able to have an honest conversation with producers about her decision to leave. “I think for both [me and the producers], it was a great opportunity to have a dialogue about a lot of things,” she clarified. “I respect them so much and they’ve been so respectful to me.”
      Despite her departure, Ruby insisted she was “honored” to have been given the chance to take on the LGBTQ character. “The accomplishment and the trust that people put in you to do that role and then there’s also the vibrancy of being able to come on set and set the mood and the tone and the trust being put into it is something that’s been such an honor,” she stated.
      “And I love my experience in ‘[Batwoman]’. I’m so grateful that we got to achieve everything that we did and I’m proud of everyone that worked on it. I’m proud of myself for working under sort of interesting circumstances, you know, with the recovery and all,” she continued. “I would definitely do [TV] again. I just think that it was also time for me to take a break to fully heal and then return.”
      Ruby is also highly supportive of Javicia Leslie who has been signed to front the second season. “I think she definitely knows what she’s doing and she seems fantastic,” she raved. “I think that honestly, I was so proud and so happy when I was told who would be replacing me. I’m just really stoked and I’m definitely going to watch the next season as well and see how it all comes together.”

      'Batwoman' Has No Intention of Abandoning LGBTQ Justice Despite Ruby Rose's Exit

      by

      The CW

      Executive producer Caroline Dries promises fans that Kate Kane will not be killed off in the series as she offers clarification on earlier statement about the replacing of the character with a new one.
      Jun 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Batwoman” executive producer Caroline Dries has assured fans of the show there will still be a lesbian dynamic following the exit of Ruby Rose – because that’s why she signed on to be part of the series
      Rose made history when she was cast as the first openly-gay TV superhero in 2018, but after shooting one season of the drama the Australian actress stepped down, announcing her decision last month.
      Dries recently confirmed a new character will replace Ruby’s Kate Kane as Batwoman, prompting some fans to voice concerns about the gay theme of the series.
      Dries took to social media on Wednesday to make sure gay viewers get the right information about the show going forward, insisting the writers will not be killing off Kate Kane.
      “My comments about recasting Batwoman have launched a storm of rumours and misinformation and I wanted to clarify something,” Dries said. “Like you, I love Kate Kane – she’s the reason I wanted to do the show. We’ll never erase her.”
      “As a lesbian who’s been working as a writer for the past 15 years, I’m well aware of the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope and I have no interest in participating in it.”
      She reveals Kane’s disappearance will be “one of the mysteries of season two”, adding, “I don’t want to give away any of our surprises, but to all our devoted fans, please know that LGBTQ+ justice is at the very core of what Batwoman is and we have no intention of abandoning that.”

      Rose announced she would be stepping down as Kane and her crime fighting alter ego two days after the first season finale aired in the U.S., telling fans it was a “very difficult decision”.
      “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles,” Rose said in a statement. “I am beyond appreciative to (executive producers) Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created… Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”
      A week later she addressed her departure on Instagram and added: “It wasn’t an easy decision but those who know, know… I didn’t want to not acknowledge everyone involved and how big this was for TV and for our community.”
      Her replacement will take on the new character Ryan Wilder, who becomes an unlikely superheroine inspired by Batwoman.

      'Batwoman' Showrunner Claims Introduction of New Lead Was a Way to Respect Ruby Rose

      by

      The CW

      When confirming that Ryan Wilder will take over the crimefighter title in place of Kate Kane, Caroline Dries admits executive producer Greg Berlanti helped her make the call.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Batwoman” showrunner Caroline Dries has confirmed reports the crimefighter will return to TV with a new identity following Ruby Rose’s shock exit.
      “The Meg” star quit the TV series after just one season last month and last week it was rumoured that her character would not be recast.
      Instead, the show’s creators and writers plan to retire Kate Kane and introduce a new character as Batwoman, Ryan Wilder, when the show returns to TV.
      “To be honest with you, I did consider the soap opera version for a hot minute, because selfishly we already had a couple episodes written, and transition-wise it would be seamless,” Dries explained to TV Line. “But upon further reflection, and I think (executive producer) Greg (Berlanti) helped me make this call – he’s like, ‘I think we should just reboot Batwoman as a different character’.”
      “We want to respect to everything that Ruby put into the Kate Kane character… and this way also helps the audience, because we’re not asking them to address the elephant in the room by accepting a new face as the same person (sic).”
      Dries revealed Wilder is a misfit character who was inspired by Batwoman.

      Ruby Rose: Decision to Quit 'Batwoman' Was Not One I Made Lightly

      by

      The CW

      After taking on the role of Kate Kane and her crime-fighting alter ego for only one season, the ‘Orange Is the New Black’ star announces that she will not return for the second season.
      May 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose won’t be back as TV’s groundbreaking “Batwoman” – the Australian star has quit the series after one season.
      The “Orange Is the New Black” star made huge headlines when she was cast as Kate Kane and her crime-fighting alter ego in 2018, becoming the first openly-gay TV comic book superhero, but the role came with a lot of drama off camera.
      “Batwoman” devotees made it clear they weren’t thrilled about Rose’s casting and she suffered a sickening on-set accident, which left her needing emergency neck surgery. Rose also had a horrific allergic reaction to the tape used to secure her mask, causing her to break out in hives.
      However, the series debuted to rave reviews and a second season has already been secured – without Ruby.
      Announcing her “very difficult decision” to quit “Batwoman” in a statement, the actress writes, “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”
      “I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created… Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”
      Series co-creator Berlanti has assured fans the show will go on with another actress as Kane/Batwoman.
      “Warner Bros. Television, The CW and Berlanti Productions thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best,” a production statement reads. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we – along with the show’s talented creative team – look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”
