Kristen Wiig in talks to play villain in Wonder Woman sequel

Image
Well, I certainly can't say that I saw this coming. Deadline reports that Kristen Wiig (GHOSTBUSTERS) is in talks with Warners Bros. to play the role of the main villain in WONDER WOMAN 2. That villain would be Cheetah, and Variety adds that Wiig has apparently always been high on Patty Jenkins' list for the role and that the director had even let Kristen Wiig know about her interest...

Kristen Wiig May Play 'Wonder Woman 2' Villain

Image
With the world soon to be threatened again in "Wonder Woman 2," Warner Bros. needs to cast its latest villain -- and one has possibly been found. Kristen Wiig is reportedly in talks to play a trouble-making character in the upcoming sequel. Variety 's sources say the actress is a front-runner for the part. No deal has yet been reached and the studio declined to comment, but the publication's intel says Wiig has met with studio execs. If Wiig does indeed sign on for the film, she'll star opposite Gal Gadot , who gained international recognition when she first played Diana Prince (aka Wonder Woman) in 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." Wiig, on the other hand, has a comedy-heavy resume. The "SNL" vet notably starred in "Bridesmaids," "Ghostbusters," and "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp." That said, she can do serious, too, like in the Academy Award-nominated film "The Martian." ...

Barbra Streisand's Cloned Dogs Have Inspired a Lot of Thoughts, Feelings

Image
Money can't buy happiness, but it can apparently buy clones of your beloved dog. Famed singer-slash-actress Barbra Streisand revealed in Variety 's latest cover story that she has not one but two cloned dogs. Named Miss Scarlett and Miss Violet, the two were created using DNA from Streisand's late Coton de Tulear, Samantha. So far, the EGOT winner has reportedly found that the dogs have different personalities, but she is waiting to see "if they have [Samantha's] brown eyes and her seriousness." Not surprisingly, Streisand's disclosure inspired a lot of people's thoughts and feelings, and they headed to Twitter to express them. Many were completely appalled, but for different reasons. Some thought it was a waste of money, others pointed out the health problems cloned animals suffer from, and others still pointed out how many dogs are in need of adoption. There were also those who just found it creepy. fascinated by barbara streisand's decision...

Rick Famuyiwa to write and direct adaptation of Charles Burns' Black Hole

Image
Rick Famuyiwa (DOPE) didn't wind up spending all that much time on Warner Bros.' THE FLASH before he left due to creative differences, but that doesn't mean that he's done with the world of comic-books as THR reports that Famuyiwa is set to write and direct an adaptation of Charles Burns' "Black Hole." The comic series takes place in the... Read More... from JoBlo's Movie Emporium News http://ift.tt/2GTW25J

'Heathers' Series Premiere Up in the Air After Florida Shooting

Image
Cross the March 7 premiere of "Heathers" off your calendar -- the show's debut has been delayed. Paramount Network announced the decision Wednesday in response to the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14. Seventeen students and staff were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and more than a dozen others injured, allegedly at the hands of a former student. Given that "Heathers" deals with gun violence, the network felt the timing was wrong, as explained in a statement: Paramount Network's original series "Heathers" is a satirical comedy that takes creative risks in dealing with many of society's most challenging subjects ranging from personal identity to race and socio-economic status to gun violence. While we stand firmly behind the show, in light of the recent tragic events in Florida and out of respect for the victims, their families and loved ones, we feel the right thing to do is delay the premiere until la...

Anonymity is the enemy in the international trailer for Andrew Niccol's Anon

Starring Clive Owen and Amanda Seyfried, ANON takes place in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance, or anonymity. All private memories are recorded and crime has almost ceased to exist, but in trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, Sal Friedland (Owen) stumbles onto a young woman (Seyfried) who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history, and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. This... Read More... from JoBlo's Movie Emporium News http://ift.tt/2FasK5H

Anna Paquin Laughs off Her BBC Breast Incident on 'Conan': 'I Have to Claim My Own Boobs'

Image
In case it wasn't already clear that Anna Paquin is comfortable with nudity, the "True Blood" star's recent appearance on "Conan" erased any doubts. Paquin sat down with the late-night show's host, Conan O'Brien , on Tuesday, and she wasn't at all fazed when he brought up an August 2017 incident involving her breasts being shown during a BBC broadcast. As the actress explained, it appeared to be an accident. The "BBC News at Ten" presenter was sitting in front of a transparent partition, thus allowing viewers to see several computer screens on the other side. Awkwardly -- for the BBC, not Paquin -- cameras were rolling as a "True Blood" sex scene came on one of them. Not long after the news broadcast, people started tweeting about it, accusing the BBC of showing porn. Paquin, who was in the U.K. at the time to shoot a film in Scotland, saw the controversy on Twitter, and couldn't help but click, as she told O'Bri...

Joel Edgerton on Bright's critical thrashing & what he wants from the sequel

It's probably safe to say that David Ayer's BRIGHT was hardly a critical darling, but personally, I found plenty to like about the Netflix film and am willing to keep an open mind for the already announced sequel. Joel Edgerton, who played Will Smith's orc partner Jakoby in the film, recently spoke with Collider about the critical reaction to BRIGHT, which he believes got...

Bruce Willis confirms that Die Hard 6 is still truckin' along

Believe it or not, but the first DIE HARD movie will be celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year, and the franchise has been truckin' along ever since, all with Bruce Willis taking the lead, a rare occurrence for such a long-running action series.

Emma Thompson Reveals Real Heartbreak Inspired 'Love Actually' Crying Scene

Image
Broken heart, actually. Emma Thompson has opened up about the real-life heartbreak that fueled her devastating crying scene in 2003's "Love Actually." "That scene where my character is standing by the bed crying is so well known because it's something everyone's been through," she told The Telegraph. Thompson was referring to infidelity, which she experienced with ex-husband Kenneth Branagh, who cheated on her with Helena Bonham Carter in 1994. In the movie, Emma Thompson's character, Karen, discovers her husband (the late Alan Rickman) was cheating on her. After opening her own Christmas present, she realizes that a necklace she found in his coat is meant for another woman. So, she leaves the room and quietly sobs while listening to Joni Mitchell. "I had my heart very badly broken by Ken," Thompson said. "So I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn't meant for me. Well, it wasn't exactly that, but we've ...

Chris Hemsworth in Talks For 'Men in Black" Spinoff

Image
Chris Hemsworth may be ready to suit up. The "Thor" star is in talks to headline the planned "Men in Black" spinoff, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Fate of the Furious" director F. Gary Gray is in talks to helm the movie, which is slated for release June 14, 2019. The spinoff would feature new characters instead of the original's Agents K and J, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. It will build on the contemporary sci-fi world established in the first three movies, much like "Jurassic World" did with its franchise. The original "Men in Black" trilogy was a massive hit, generating some $1.5 billion worldwide. Sony is still putting the project's pieces together and THR notes they hope to have a diverse ensemble and leads that are a white male, a female of color, and an older man. Hemsworth already has a lot on his plate. He recently starred in "12 Strong," appears in May's "Avengers: Infinity...

Oscar Facts: 25 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About the Academy Awards

Image
It's almost here -- the 90th Academy Awards finally airs this Sunday, and we're counting down the minutes. We're bringing you some of the best (and, um, craziest) facts about Hollywood's biggest awards show. From the first Best Actor winner, to the "one dollar" Oscar rule, here are 25 things you (probably) don't know about the Oscars. 1. The youngest Oscar winner was Tatum O'Neal (above), who won Best Supporting Actress for " Paper Moon " (1973) when she was only 10 years old. Shirley Temple won the short-lived Juvenile Award at 6 years old. 2. After winning Best Actress for " Cabaret " (1972), Liza Minnelli became (and still is) the only Oscar winner whose parents both earned Oscars. Her mother, Judy Garland , received an honorary award in 1939 and her father, Vincente Minnelli , won Best Director for " Gigi " (1958). 3. Nameplates for all potential winners are prepared ahead of time; in 2014, the Academy made ...

The 'Black Panther' Cast Bonded By Singing Snoop Dogg’s 'Drop It Like It’s Hot'

Image
"Black Panther" is the hottest movie in the world. Its cast is full of the hottest stars right now ( keep doing push-ups, Michael B. Jordan ). And so it's only right that they all bonded over the Snoop Dogg's song "Drop It Like It's Hot." Last night at Harlem's Apollo Theater, Chadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong'o sat down for a Q&A session with Ta-Nehisi Coates (who writes the current "Black Panther" comic series). During a discussion about the positive atmosphere cultivated by director Ryan Coogler, Boseman recalled "musical moments" that would erupt on set. As Nyong'o elaborated, one such moment occurred while filming of T'Challa's first battle at Warrior Falls. "The drummers started drumming to Snoop Dogg's 'Drop It Like It's Hot' and then the entire crowd joined in on that 'snooooooop snooooop,'" she said. "That's the moment that I really felt the pan-African...

Missing 'Westworld' Characters Will Be Seen Again in Season 2

Image
It's a big "Westworld" out there and we've only begun scratching the surface. Season 1 of the sci-fi show ended on a major cliffhanger, with a violent end to the violent delights of Robert Ford's (Anthony Hopkins) new narrative. He was shot and killed by Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), the hosts amassed to take over the park, and Maeve (Thandie Newton) nearly escaped to the real world. Several other characters whereabouts remained unknown, but co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have teased their Season 2 futures to Entertainment Weekly. Let's start with programmer Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward) and security chief Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth). Elsie was attacked while exploring an abandoned part of the park. In later episodes, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) seemed to have memories of strangling her. As for Stubbs, he was taken hostage by Ghost Nation hosts who were able to override his commands. Both are still alive, the showrunners said, if in difficult sit...

'Fuller House' Creator Jeff Franklin Fired After Misconduct Allegations

Image
Jeff Franklin, the creator of "Full House" and its Netflix sequel series "Fuller House," has effectively been fired over misconduct allegations. Warner Bros. TV declined to renew Franklin's production deal after the studio received complaints about his behavior on the set and in the writers room. "We are not renewing Jeff Franklin's production deal and he will no longer be working on 'Fuller House,'" Warner Bros. TV said in a statement. Franklin has been accused of verbally abusing staffers and making inappropriate, sexually charged comments about his personal life. He has not been accused of sexual harassment or physical misconduct. One source told Variety that Franklin would bring women he was dating on set and give them small roles. Franklin's rep declined to comment to Variety. Even without Franklin's involvement, the show will go on. "'Fuller House' will return for a fourth season, as planned," Netflix sa...

It's a Wild, Violent West for Kevin Costner in 'Yellowstone' Trailer

Image
"Survive another season," a gravelly-voiced Kevin Costner says in the first trailer for "Yellowstone," the new Paramount Network series created by Taylor Sheridan ("Hell or High Water"). That's the ethos of his rancher patriarch, John Dutton, whose family controls the largest contiguous ranch in the country. But as the trailer shows, the ranch is under constant attack by land developers, an Indian reservation, and the titular national park that share its orders. There's a lot of shady dealings and violence going on, in a world where land grabs can make billions, politicians are bought with oil money, fracking wells poison the drinking water, and murder is often the shortest path to riches. The series also stars Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, and Cole Hauser. "Yellowstone" was the first original series ordered by Paramount, formerly known as Spike TV. The network is now heating up, having poached "Heathers" from TV ...

'The Bachelor' Book Reveals Top Reason Applicants Don't Get Cast Is ... This STD

Image
It's hard to believe, but "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" actually have exhaustive casting criteria. They don't just let any crazy person on the show, they have to be the right crazy person. L.A. Times writer Amy Kaufman details the casting process in her new book "Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure." The New York Post shared an excerpt revealing how people get cast, and what keeps them from making it on the show. First, potential suitors fill out an application and submit photos of themselves. Candidates are then flown to L.A. for final audition weekends. They fill out a 150-question personalty test, have meetings with producers, talk to the show's therapist, go through psychological testing, and allow the show to conduct a thorough background check. (What they find can and will be used against you on camera.) But you can't get on the show unless you pass the medical examination. As Kau...

It's Time for the Brutally Honest 2018 Oscar Ballot & Best Picture Honest Trailer

Image
Our favorite infuriating tradition is back! Voting has now closed for Sunday's Academy Awards. That means The Hollywood Reporter is ready to share its Brutally Honest Oscar Ballots. They share at least one every year, and they tend to be quite juicy. That's what happens when Academy members have anonymity -- they take open shots at Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep , when they otherwise wouldn't dare. (Only Jennifer Lawrence is candid enough to just say what she actually thinks on the record. Bless her.) Also on the honesty theme, ScreenJunkies shared an Honest Trailer mocking the nine Best Picture nominees. Let's start with that : Back to THR's Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot . It looks like we might just get one this year, and it's from a male member of the producer's branch. Here's a portion of his brutally honest thoughts on the Best Picture nominees: I didn't like Call Me by Your Name. From what I understand, there was less of a differen...

Oscars 2018 Red Carpet: Publicists May Steer Stars Away From Ryan Seacrest  

Image
Ryan Seacrest will still host E!'s big Oscars red carpet pre-show, despite the resurfaced sexual harassment allegations from his former personal stylist. Seacrest has denied the claims, but since he's in the spotlight right before Sunday's Oscars, that may affect his red carpet coverage. Suzie Hardy has alleged, per Variety , "years of unwanted sexual aggression -- grinding his erect penis against her while clad only in his underwear, groping her vagina, and at one point slapping her buttock so hard that it left a large welt still visible hours later." Seacrest said he was already cleared by a third party investigation. But it's a delicate situation. We saw at the Golden Globes how E! could become part of the story, with stars mentioning Catt Sadler live on air . Would Seacrest end up in the same boat? Page Six talked to some top Hollywood publicists who said, depending on the client, they will just have the star speak to E!'s Giuliana Rancic or skip ...

15 Things You Never Knew About 'The Big Lebowski'

Image
It's been 20 years since moviegoers were first introduced to The Dude, an affable hippie just trying to make his way through life and bowl a few rounds -- in between buying coffee creamer using a check. " The Big Lebowski " was not a smash hit when it first debuted, but it's built up a considerable cult following in the years since -- deservedly so. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, here are 15 things you might not know about this Coen Bros. classic. 1. While fictional, the movie draws inspiration from several real-life figures. The Dude himself is loosely based on a man named Jeff Dowd, who helped distribute the Coens' first film, " Blood Simple ." 2. Meanwhile, Julianne Moore 's character, Maude, is based on artist Carolee Schneemann and singer Yoko Ono. John Goodman 's Walter is based on screenwriter John Milius. 3. The Coens' friend, Peter Exline, a screenwriter and film professor, also directly inspired the development of "Th...
