    June's Fight for Justice Continues in New Season 4 Trailer for 'The Handsmaid's Tale'

    [embedded content]

    Elisabeth Moss’ character’s name continues to be mentioned throughout the trailer for the long-awaited season 4 as Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) vows to ‘find’ and ‘kill’ June.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Hulu has unveiled a new trailer for long-awaited season 4 of its hit series “The Handmaid’s Tale”. In the new season, Elisabeth Moss’ June Osbourne can be seen continuing fighting for justice in the trying period.

    “Ms. Osbourne, if you were to return to Gilead, would you be subject to danger of torture, risk to your life or a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment?” someone asks June in the beginning of the trailer. That is later followed by a series of clearly “cruel and unusual” scenes that flicker on the screen.

    Elsewhere in the trailer, Nick (Max Minghella) is featured looking for June. “You’re better off without her. Everyone that helps her ends up on the wall,” a woman tells Nick, referring to the wall in the city where rebels are hanged as punishment.

    As for Aunt Lydia, who is played by Ann Dowd, she is apparently not done with June. “She has eluded your soldiers for 19 days,” Lydia, who still has the scars from June’s attack on her in season 3, shares before adding, “Find her and bring her to me.”

    Her name continues to be mentioned throughout the trailer. “You can’t save her. You understand that, right? Some women don’t want to be saved,” June’s former commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) says. Meanwhile, June’s best friend Moira (Samira Wiley) calls June “public enemy No. 1 in Gilead,” adding, “She’s not going to last another week here.”

    The trailer also sees Joseph telling Nick to move on. “Perhaps she’s fulfilled her purpose and it’s time to move on,” she says.

    While Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) vows to “find” and “kill” June, the latter tells Fred’s wife Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), “You have destroyed my life, my family, my friends, my country and my child. I ask for justice.”

    Season 4 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” is set to premiere on April 28 on Hulu.

    Opening the trailer is Admiral Tarkin, who introduces the group as ‘five enhaced clones more capable than an army’ that consists of Hunter, Echo, Tech, Wrecker and Crosshair.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    The first official trailer for “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” is here for viewing pleasure. On Tuesday, March 30, Disney+ unveiled the clip, offering the first look at the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” spin-off animated series chronicling the titular elite and experimental group of clones.

    Opening the trailer is Admiral Tarkin, who introduces the group. “A test is in order. Five enhaced clones more capable than an army. Yet they exhibit a concerning level of disobedience and disregard for orders,” he shares as he watches the Bad Batch fighting against droids during the test.

    The group appears to be enjoying the test a little bit more than they have to. “What else you got? Give me more!” Wrecker demands to Admiral Tarkin. Elsewhere in the trailer, Hunter warns people, “Our squad is nothing but trouble, but we get the job done.”

    The trailer also features Omega who recognizes each member of the group which is made up by Hunter, Echo, Tech, Wrecker and Crosshair. At one point, Hunter offers Omega to join his squad, asking her, “What do you say, kid? You want to come with us?”

    “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch–a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army–each possess a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. It also features Fennec Shand, voiced by Ming-Na Wen who reprised her role from “The Mandalorian) and a young-but-scarred Saw Gerrera who is played by Andrew Kishino.

    “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” is scheduled to arrive on Star Wars Day, May 4, in a feature-length, 70-minute episode. The next episodes of the series will arrive weekly on Disney+ on Fridays, starting on May 7.

    'Dancing with the Stars' Is Renewed for Season 30 – See Who Are Returning

    ABC

    In the upcoming season of the long-running dancing competition show, Tyra Banks is set to reprise her role as host, replacing longtime host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews for the second time.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “Dancing with the Stars” will be returning for a 30th season. On Tuesday, March 30, ABC officially announced that the long-running dancing competition show had been renewed for another season.

    In the upcoming season, Tyra Banks is set to reprise her role as host, replacing longtime host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews for the second time. Season 30 will also see Len Goodman returning as a full-time judge after he missed some episodes of season 29 due to COVID-19 travel ban.

    Joining Len as judges for season 30 are Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba. This will be the second time for Derek to serve as a judge on the popular show.

    Ahead of season 29, the show received backlash for firing Tom and Erin, tapping Tyra to replace the beloved co-hosts. As for Tyra, the “America’s Next Top Model” alum previously admitted that taking over the role was challenging for her.

    “I think the challenge is stepping into shoes. I mean, you know, Tom Bergeron and Erin. They lead the show, this is one of the top-rated shows in the world,” the 47-year-old shared to Us Weekly. “So [I’m] respecting the stage that they have set and then adding my icing to that. I feel confident about that, but of course, it’s a challenge, but I don’t back away from challenges.”

    Her first season as the host wasn’t sailing smooth as she made some mistakes during some live episodes. She was criticized when she mistakenly mixed up the bottom two couples in danger of elimination. The model named Anne Heche & Keo Motsepe and Vernon Davis & Peta Murgatroid as the bottom two couples before she clarified that it was actually Monica Aldama and Val Chmerkovskiy who were supposed to be on the bottom two alongside Anne and Keo.

    “Wowzers. Live TV. Wrong name on cards. So challenging to deal with moments like these. But we power through,” Tyra addressed the mishap on Twitter.

    Britney Spears Calls Out Media Over 'Framing' Doc After Posting Bizarre Skull Baby Pic

    Instagram

    The ‘…Baby One More Time’ hitmaker admits to being ’embarrassed’ by ‘the light they put me in’ as she reveals that she ‘cried for two weeks’ due to the Hulu documentary.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Britney Spears has broken her silence on “Framing Britney Spears” documentary that shed light on her ongoing conservatorship battle with her father Jamie Spears. While public support has been flowing for her in the wake of the Hulu/The New York Times documentary, she appears to be not a fan of the work.

    Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, March 30, the pop star admitted to feeling “embarrassed” by the documentary and crying for two weeks over it, although she hasn’t watched it herself. “My life has always been very speculated …,” she began lamenting in a caption of a video showing her dancing cheerfully to “Crazy” by Aerosmith, “watched … and judged really my whole life !!!”

    “For my sanity I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!!” she explained her act in the video. “I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people !!! It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I’ve always been so judged… insulted… and embarrassed by the media… and I still am till this day!!!! As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !!!”

    Addressing the doc specifically, she called out the media for the way she was put in the limelight. “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in …,” she shared. “I cried for two weeks and well …. I still cry sometimes !!!!”

      See also…

    The 39-year-old went on revealing how she consoles herself, “I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy … love … and happiness !!!! Every day dancing brings me joy !!! I’m not here to be perfect … perfect is boring … I’m here to pass on kindness !!!!”

    One day before weighing on the “Framing” documentary, Britney confused her fans and followers for posting a bizarre photo of a skull baby. In the black-and-white image seemingly taken a long time ago, a woman wearing a Victorian-era gown is seen holding a baby with a bare skull for a head.

    “Devil is in the details [smiling devil emoji] …. wouldn’t want this baby to hit me one more time [three laughing emojis] !!!!” she captioned it. The singer uploaded the photo amid her posts for what she dubbed a “Red” campaign.

    Sylvester Stallone Developing 'Rocky' Prequel TV Series

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The original star of the ‘Rocky’ franchise is working on an origin story for a potential television series as the movie spinoff starring Michael B. Jordan flourishes on the big screen.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Sylvester Stallone is planning to take his “Rocky” franchise to TV by writing a treatment for a potential prequel series.

    The action man gave fans a glimpse at his latest project on Monday (29Mar21) by sharing pages of his handwritten notes for the show, which he is eager to pitch to online platform bosses.

    “I started out this morning by writing a treatment for a Rocky prequel for streaming. Ideally 10 episodes for a few seasons to really get to the heart of the Characters in there younger years,” he captioned the image.

    “Here is a small portion of how my creative writing Process starts … Hope it happens (sic).”

    The notes were titled, “Treatment for Rocky prequel series,” and begins with the scenario set-up: “Imagine a time machine that will simply transport us back to the origins of Rocky, a cinematic world brimming with characters that have been beloved by people around the world for nearly five decades!”

    Stallone explains the origin story would take fans back to the 1960s and “the most transformative generation in modern history,” citing the events of the moon landing, the civil rights movement, the assassinations of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Cold War, among many other milestones.

      See also…

    “Needless to say the 60s was a dynamic time,” he wrote. “Yet among all this Social Seismic Activity, we drop in on the rather plain life of 17-year-old Robert ‘Rocky’ Balboa.”

    “When we first met Rocky in 1976, he was a very lost soul… We now see this young man struggling like all young people trying to find their place.”

    On Tuesday, Stallone followed up the project teaser by sharing typed up notes and dialogue for the proposed show, which he reveals has already received the backing of studio bosses at MGM.

    “I KNOW my hand writing is very awkward. But so what it achieved the goal,” he began in the caption. “But I decided to show a little bit more of the creative process for the Rocky Prequel but this time it’s a lot more legible… Tell me what you think. I’m excited. MGM is excited. Hope you are too (sic).”

    Stallone made his big screen debut as loan shark-turned-boxer Rocky in the original Oscar-nominated 1976 film, which he wrote and starred in.

    It has since spawned five franchise sequels, as well as a spin-off movie series in “Creed”, starring Michael B. Jordan as the son of Rocky’s old rival, Apollo Creed.

    Stallone reprised his role as Rocky in 2015’s “Creed”, which earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod.

    Dominic West Confirmed to Play Prince Charles for Final Seasons of 'The Crown'

    WENN

    The former cast member of ‘The Affair’ has been confirmed by Josh O’Connor to portray the heir to the British throne in the upcoming two seasons of the royal drama series.

    Mar 31, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Dominic West will portray Prince Charles in the final two seasons of “The Crown”, according to his predecessor.

    West was previously linked to the royal role but now Josh O’Connor, who won a 2021 Golden Globe and Critics Choice award for his portrayal of Charles on the show, has confirmed he’ll be passing the baton to “The Affair” star.

    “It’s lovely to come away and go, ‘Great. Now hand it over to Dominic West,’ ” Josh tells GQ while laughing off any suggestion he’ll be handing out advice to his successor.

    “If Dominic West came to me asking me for advice, I’d laugh him off,” Josh explains. “I’d be like, ‘Dom! You’re Dominic West!'”

      See also…

    Netflix bosses have yet to confirm that West will play Charles but, if O’Connor’s announcement is correct, the “300” actor will be joining Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, and Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip in the drama.

    The previous season focused on Prince Charles’ tumultuous relationship with Princess Diana who’s portrayed by Emma Corrin.

    The actress won the coveted Best Actress in a Drama Series at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Television Awards while her counterpart grabbed Best Actor in a Drama Series at the same two prestigious prize-giving events.

    As Josh O’Connor is expected to pass the mantle to Dominic West for the new season, it’s still unclear if Emma Corrin will be returning for the next installment.
