    'Morning Show' and 'American Crime Story' Shut Down Productions Due to Covid-19 Scares

    by

    The filming of the TV drama starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon and the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series have been halted following coronavirus concerns.

    Dec 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Production on Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s TV Drama “The Morning Show” and Ryan Murphy’s “Impeachment: American Crime Story” has been paused after a number of positive COVID-19 tests.
    A night shoot for “The Morning Show”, set to take place in Culver City, California on Thursday (17Dec20), was cancelled after one crewmember was diagnosed while those they had been in contact with were forced to self-isolate.
    A second round of testing was scheduled to take place on Friday to double check results in the event the crewmember had received a false positive, reports E! News.
    It’s unclear if any of the show’s stars are among those affected.
    Filming on season two of the Apple TV+ series began in October following the COVID-19 shutdown delay.

    Meanwhile, filming also ground to a halt on the Los Angeles set of “Impeachment: American Crime Story”, which will chronicle the impeachment of former U.S. President Bill Clinton following his 1998 affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.
    According to TMZ, “multiple” positive test results among both cast and crewmembers forced officials to close the set earlier this week, although it’s unclear which of the actors were affected.
    The drama series will star Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky, Clive Owen as Clinton, and Sarah Paulson as late White House whistleblower Linda Tripp.
    And there was also a COVID-19 scare on the set of Piper Perabo and Scott Foley’s upcoming dramatic comedy “The Big Leap”, with shoots halted on Wednesday as a result of a number of positive diagnoses.
    Fox studio officials had been shooting the pilot in Chicago, Illinois, and had just four days of work left to wrap.

I don’t know what they’re doing but I know they’re rewriting.”
      “The Morning Show”, which is also produced by Aniston and Witherspoon, is set in the cutthroat world of U.S. morning news. It received eight Emmy nominations, three Golden Globe Award nominations as well as a Television Critics Association nomination for Outstanding New Program..

      Jennifer Aniston Came Close to Quitting Hollywood Before 'The Morning Show'

      by

      During an interview with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes on their Smartless podcast, the former ‘Friends’ star blames an unprepared project for driving her close into retirement.
      Sep 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Aniston seriously considered walking away from Hollywood before landing TV hit “The Morning Show” after a horrible experience on an “unprepared project”.
      The “Friends” star made her return as a small screen regular on the Apple TV+ drama series last year, and she admits her Emmy-nominated role as a breakfast show newswoman saved her from quitting showbusiness altogether.
      Aniston shared the surprising news during an interview with her actor pals Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes on their “Smartless” podcast, confessing, “The last two years, that (quitting) has crossed my mind, which it never did before…”.
      “(It happened) before ‘The Morning Show’,” she explained. “It was after a job I had completed and it was like, ‘Woah…, that sucked the life out of me, and I don’t know if this is what interests me (anymore)’, and I had this fantasy of just (walking away)…”.

      Aniston didn’t name the film which almost drove her into retirement, but claimed the script wasn’t ready for the shoot, and shared, “It was an unprepared project… We’ve all been a part of them, and we always say, ‘Never again, never again…!’.”
      Her comments prompted “Ozark” star Bateman to encourage the actress to take on more work behind the camera, insisting she would be a great director.
      “This is why I always push you into directing because you are so professional and you are so responsible, and you are so aware of how the sausage is made and can provide great leadership for that large group of people…,” he said.
      “I’m just a big fan of your abilities. I hope you jump into that (directing) chair more.”
      “I would love to jump into that chair more, I enjoy it thoroughly,” Aniston responded, adding she would love to take up interior design as an alternative career if she ever does decide to call it quits.
      To date, she has only served as a director on three projects – two short films, and a segment of the 2018 TV movie “Five”, an anthology exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives.

      According to the former host of ‘Today’, the onscreen character reportedly modelled on her should be more ‘charismatic’ on the Apple web television series.
      Apr 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Katie Couric, the former host of America’s “Today” show, has broken her silence about Jennifer Aniston’s character in Apple+ series “The Morning Show”, which many believe is based on her.
      The series, which also stars Reese Witherspoon, premiered in November 2019. It features a fictional character rumoured to be modelled on Couric.
      “I thought some of it was really interesting,” Katie said of the drama during a recent appearance on the podcast “Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino”.
      “I think the long-term impact and the serious devastation that results from certain behaviours was quite well represented, or quite well conveyed in that.”
      “I think Jennifer Aniston is great… (but) I wish they had made her more charismatic because I think you need a certain ebullience to pull off a show like that.”
