Warner Bros set dates for two mystery DC movies

OHMYGOSSIP — Warner Bros. Pictures has announced two new dates for upcoming, untitled movies in the DC Extended Universe.
The studio scheduled upcoming movies for Valentine’s Day 2020 and June 5, of that same year, yet both the films haven’t been given titles at this time, CinemaBlend reports.
However, the standalone ‘Cyborg’ movie – who is set to make an appearance in the upcoming ‘Justice League’ film – was scheduled for April 3 on that year and ‘Green Lantern Corps’ was set for July 24 release, and it’s speculated these could be the two blockbusters.
Last year, DC Entertainment President Geoff Johns revealed that the ‘Green Lantern Corps’ cast will appear in the ‘Justice League’ films.
So far, only two of the ‘Justice League’ characters have had their own standalone movies – ‘Wonder Woman’ and Superman in ‘Man of Steel.
Ben Affleck is set to get his own Batman movie ‘The Batman’, set for a 2019 release, and production has already begun on an ‘Aquaman’ movie starring Jason Momoa as the titular character and will be released next year.
The standalone film about the super-fast superhero The Flash – portrayed by Ezra Miller – is scheduled to start filming following a delay in production caused by original helmer Rick Famuyiwa quitting the project due to creative differences between himself and executives at Warner Bros. Studios.
Warner Bros. have already revealed they will be working on a ‘Wonder Woman’ sequel as well as ‘Justice League Dark’, ‘Gotham City Sirens’, ‘Batgirl’ and ‘Man of Steel 2’.
The studio will also be making a sequel to the villain-focused movie ‘Suicide Squad’ despite receiving damning reviews.
The plot of the ‘Justice League’ is still scarce but not only will the film be bringing together the DC heroes Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Miller), Aquaman (Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Superman (Henry Cavill) but also boasts a very impressive supporting cast
Mera (Amber Heard) from the upcoming ‘Aquaman’ film and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons) from ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ will all feature.

Naomi Watts slams ‘sad’ movie intrustry

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomi Watts thinks the movie industry is in a “sad state”.
The 48-year-old actress – who can currently be seen in Netflix series ‘Gypsy’ – believes television has become a far more adventurous medium than film, because Hollywood is now too reliant on franchises, superheroes and “comedy blockbusters”.
She told The Times newspaper: “I definitely noticed that a lot of great writing was taking place in the TV format now, probably because of the sad state of the film industry and how all the films getting made are mostly in the franchise world, or superheroes or big comedy blockbuster-type movies, and I really tend to enjoy working in the drama genre.
“Since the film industry was bottoming out, all the writers moved over to TV and we have to follow those stories, those writers.
“Films were making less and less money and were harder and harder to get made, so most of the money that was being spent was on films that are not really my passion, so the female-driven drama writers moved to TV, and that is where a lot of us have ended up going, to get the storytelling.”
Naomi plays psychotherapist Jean Holloway in psychological thriller ‘Gypsy’ which was partially directed by ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Four of the five directors working on ‘Gypsy’ were all women and Naomi said she loves Sam, who brought the series to her attention.
She said: “I loved Sam and it was really Sam that brought me here because I knew her, not super well but somewhat well, and she brought it to my attention.
“Had it just come through my agents and managers I might not have read it so quickly or even got round to it, I don’t know.”

Walton Goggins to star in Ant-Man and the Wasp

OHMYGOSSIP — Walton Goggins has joined the cast of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’.
The 45-year-old actor has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming sequel to the hit blockbuster ‘Ant-Man’, but his role has not been specified yet, Deadline report, but he sealed the deal ahead of production in Atlanta later this month.
Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are set to return as the titular superheroes after Rudd dons the shrinking suit in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ alongside the other Avengers including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) among others.
Michael Douglas is to reprise his role as the original Ant-Man Hank Pym in the Peyton Reed-directed movie as well as Michael Pena as Luis and T.I. as Dave.
Newcomers Hannah John-Kamen from ‘Black Mirror’ will also play an unspecified role along with Randall Park as Jimmy Woo.
John-Karmen has starred in the likes of Steven Spielberg’s ‘Ready Player One’ and recently completed filming on upcoming ‘Tomb Raider’ reboot with Alicia Vikander along with Goggins.
The original movie is based on Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) who recruits the talents of Scott Lang (Rudd), a master thief just released from prison.
He is transformed into Ant-Man after being given Pym’s suit and receiving training that allows him to fully utilise the suit’s capabilities that as well as shrinking him down allow him to control real ants.
Rudd first appeared as the size-changing superhero in the 2015 movie and then reprised his role in the blockbuster ‘Captain America: Civil War’.
Rudd is writing the script alongside Gabriel Ferrari and Kevin Feige is producing.
‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ is expected to be released in cinemas on July 6, 2018.

Alicia Vikander: Playing Lara Croft is a childhood dream come true

OHMYGOSSIP — Alicia Vikander has fulfilled a childhood dream by landing the role of Lara Croft in the ‘Tomb Raider’ reboot.
The 28-year-old actress beat off stiff competition to land the role as the daredevil archaeologist in a new movie adaptation of the popular video game series.
Alicia grew up being fascinated by “big adventure films” like the ‘Indiana Jones’ franchise starring Harrison Ford and she’s delighted to now to get bring that type of story to the big screen.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, ‘The Danish Girl’ star said: “I’m emotionally drawn to something that’s very different from what I’ve done before. Naturally, that gives me an extra thrill. I have mostly done dramas and indie films in my career but I don’t know how many times I’ve watched big adventure films like ‘Indiana Jones’ or ‘The Mummy’. I love to get embraced in all those big journeys and to do an action role has always been a child’s dream of mine.”
In taking on the role of Lara – created by British gaming company Core Design in 1996 – Alicia will replace Angelina Jolie, who was widely credited for making the movie adaptation of the video game franchise a huge success when she brought the British explorer to life in 2001 and then again in ‘Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life’ in 2003.
Alicia also said that there needs to be more of a push for female action heroes in movies after seeing the recent DC Extended Universe hit ‘Wonder Woman’.
She said: “I went to the cinema and saw ‘Wonder Woman’ the other day. It’s a mixture of joy and sadness pouring over me, as I was thinking, ‘Oh my God, I haven’t seen women onscreen like that.’
“And I wondered how many stories there have been throughout the years that haven’t been told. If ‘Wonder Woman’ made such an impact, which it deserves to, then we need to use ten times as much force to make some change. Because it needs to happen.”

Ben Affleck leaves Triple Frontier movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Affleck has dropped out of the Netflix thriller ‘Triple Frontier’.
The 44-year-old actor had been eyed for a leading role in the movie after Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum left the production due to scheduling conflicts, according to Variety.
The pair were supposed to start shooting the thriller in May but have now walked away and the future of the film is now in doubt as studio Paramount have axed it from their slate and Affleck was rumoured to be on board.
Deadline reported in April, director J.C. Chandor had rewritten Mark Boal’s scripts but his stars weren’t keen on the changes and Hardy in particular had requested extensive further rewrites.
And Paramount declined to move forward as they were making the movie on a tight budget and didn’t want to have to finance extensive changes because of “creative differences”.
The studio also let go of the film as it had been brought in by Brad Grey, but recent executive changes mean he is no longer with Paramount.
‘Triple Frontier’, which was also due to star Mahershala Ali and Adria Arjona, then moved to Netflix.
Not much is known about the film at the time except it is an action-adventure story set in the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
It’s not the first time the movie has had a reshuffle – Katherine Bigelow was originally attached to direct, with the likes of Tom Hanks, Will Smith and Johnny Depp circled to star but it failed to materialise.
Charles Roven and Alex Gartner of Atlas Entertainment are producing the movie with Boal, Bigelow, Stephen Jones, Neil Dodson and Anna Gerb as executive producers.
Affleck recently stepped down as director of ‘The Batman’ – the character he portrays in the DC Extended Universe – to concentrate on giving the role of The Dark Knight the “passion” it deserves.
He has portrayed The Caped Crusader – who first appeared in Detective Comics issue 27 in print – in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, before making a cameo in ‘Suicide Squad’ and he will next be seen in ‘Justice League’, which is released this November.

Juno Temple signs up to Steven Soderbergh’s next movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Juno Temple has signed up to star in Steven Soderbergh’s next movie.
The ‘Maleficent’ actress will appear alongside Claire Foy in the filmmaker’s next project, the name of which is not yet known but insiders claim it has a working title of ‘Unsane’.
While plot details are being kept heavily under wraps, sources have told Variety that Soderbergh has shot the motion picture on an iPhone.
The 54-year-old director is thought to be considering self-distributing the film as it currently doesn’t have a distributor.
Temple, 27, recently admitted she would love to play a lead role in a biopic so she could portray someone “the rest of the world knows”.
The ‘Horns’ star said: “I’ve dipped my toes into a fair amount, but dipping your toes doesn’t mean you’ve taken a full dive.
“It would be fun to do a Judd Apatow comedy. It would be fun to do a biopic and really have to transform yourself into somebody the rest of the world knows. I’ve always wanted to play Marilyn Monroe, but Michelle Williams nailed that.”
Temple will star alongside Kate Winslet and Justin Timberlake in Woody Allen’s forthcoming film ‘Wonder Wheel’, which will drop later this year.
Foy has appeared in movies ‘The Lady in the Van’ and more recently ‘Breathe’, but is well known for TV work, such as her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix series ‘The Crown’.

T.J. Miller teases ‘dark’ plot for Deadpool 2

OHMYGOSSIP — T.J. Miller has said some “dark s**t happens” in ‘Deadpool 2′.
The 36-year-old actor will reprise his role as Weasel – the best friend of Ryan Reynolds’ titular superhero – in the upcoming sequel to the 2016 eponymously titled Marvel movie, and has said the second instalment won’t follow the “same [story] in a different location” and will instead involve “different stakes”.
He said: “It’s not going to be like ‘Hangover 2’, it’s not going to be the same movie in a different location, for instance. It’s got different stakes, different things happen, some pretty tragic, dark s**t happens in the first part of the film, in the beginning, and the rest of the film is kind of dealing with that, so that’s interesting. But Weasel remains just absolutely the most selfish individual on the face of the planet.”
And the star even believes ‘Deadpool 2’ could be “funnier” than the first instalment, as he laughed so hard when reading the script that he “dropped an iPad in a public restaurant”.
Speaking to ScreenRant.com, T.J. said: “This instalment is going to be more Weasel-icious than ever before. I was crying so hard laughing that I dropped an iPad in a public restaurant when I was reading the script. As Ryan [Reynolds] and I were talking about, it’s this great thing where we know the tone, we know the stakes, everybody’s played these characters before – most importantly, we know the tone, we know how to hit it pitch perfect. So I think it might actually be funnier than the first one. I’m really, really excited.”
Filming for ‘Deadpool 2′ began in June, and whilst the plot is being kept under wraps, but the project will see the return of Stafan Kapicic as Colossus, Brianna Hilderbrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, as well as Morrena Baccarin who portrays Reynolds’ on-screen love interest.
‘Deadpool 2’ will be directed by David Leitch and is slated to be released in June 2018.

The reality TV show has been the hot topic of conversation recently as rumours about which big-name stars were entering the famous abode have been floating around, but fans won’t have to wait too much longer to find out, as it’ll be back on Channel 5 in less than two weeks’ time – a week later than last year’s explosive series.

A source explained: “Sarah is fully onboard. But she is not sure if she feels ready. ”
“She has been enjoying a career out of the spotlight recently and is not sure she wants to give up her low-key presence just yet.”
The former Girls Aloud singer will be joined Megan McKenna’s ex-boyfriend Jordan Davies as bosses want to emulate the success of the brunette beauty, who became a household name following her appearance on the show in January 2016
The insider explained to the publication: “The show turned her into reality TV gold and viewers can’t get enough of anything about her – even her ex. It’s why the bosses wanted Jordan – it will make for explosive television.”
Helen Lederer – known for her role in ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ – has also been offered a mega-money deal to live in the famous house for a maximum of four weeks.
The source said: “Helen’s a great addition to this year’s line-up and is sure to be a big hit with fans. They offered her a big money deal that was hard to turn down and she’s looking forward to going into the house later this summer.”

Elliott Wright ‘proud’ of Arg’s weightloss

OHMYGOSSIP — Elliott Wright has joked that James ‘Arg’ Argent used to “eat him out of house and home.”
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has spent the best part of this year trying to lose weight following years of yo-yo dieting and his close friend Elliott – who owns a restaurant called Olivia’s in Marbella – is so proud of him because he’s managed to turn his life around.
Speaking to the MailOnline, the 35-year-old hunk said: “I’m very proud of him. The first time he came out I don’t think he really accepted his situation, but you can clearly see now that he does. Before, he’d come out and he’d eat me out of house, home and restaurant. Now he comes out and he eats clean, no carbs and he’s running every day.
“I’m proud of him and it’s a pleasure to be around him. If anything he’s a pain in the a**e because he’s up at the crack of dawn every day. I know his mum and dad and from their point of view, they must be so proud of him.”
Meanwhile, Elliott has his own things going on as he’s trying to plan his wedding, which will be documented on his television show ‘Playa in Marbella’, following his engagement to fiancée Sadie Stuart last year, but has admitted the process has been “extremely difficult.”
He said: “Trying to find a venue has been extremely difficult because we’re at 258 guests so trying to accommodate for everyone is a nightmare. I would’ve liked to do the wedding in Olivia’s if I’m being honest but it wasn’t feasible, so we’re looking at other places. It’s a bit of a liberty. I’m trying to be all over it while trying to let Sadie flow and enjoy her moment.
“Sadie’s a traditional girl so it’s going to be a nice wedding in that respect. I want it to be a warm wedding. I’m not a stuffy person, I don’t want a stuffy wedding, but Sadie is traditional.”

Loose Women launches Lighten the Load Hero award

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Loose Women’ has partnered with Mind charity to launch Lighten the Load Hero award.
The popular ITV chat show has joined forces with the organisation, and their latest campaign will see them honour those who help relatives, friends or colleagues battling with mental health problems.
The award will recognise a carer for one singular moment that proved their kind-hearted nature, or a culmination of things they’ve done to help another suffering, or to someone who has opened up about their personal issues and has encouraged others to speak out about their own problems.
The programme’s editor, Sally Shelford, is “thrilled” with the show’s collaboration with the organisation.
She said: “We’re thrilled to join forces with Mind to create a very special award at this year’s Mind Media Awards.”
The title was inspired by the show’s Lighten the Load campaign, which launched last year and saw the programme gain a Mind Media Award in 2016 for their contribution to raising awareness to mental health issues.
The show’s previous movement saw the hosts, which include Ruth Langsford, Andrea McLean, Christine Lampard and Katie Price, encourage their daytime viewers to openly talk about the internal issues they are faced with, and to urge others to listen to those experiencing mental health problems.
However, the Lighten the Load Hero award plans to acknowledge those who have put ‘Loose Women’s previous plan into action and have made a positive impact in someone else’s life.
The Lighten the Load Hero gong will be presented to the worthy winners at the Mind Media Awards at the ODEON Cinema in London’s Leicester Square on November 13.

The Weakest Link to be revived

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Weakest Link’ is set to be revived later this year.
The popular quiz show, fronted by Anne Robinson, hasn’t been seen on television screens since 2012, but bosses are hoping to bring it back for a celebrity special for ‘Children in Need’ in November and then make it a permanent fixture in 2018.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “‘The Weakest Link’ was one of the most exciting and original quizzes in television history, and left a huge void when it came off air.
“Nothing has really replaced it so the prospect of its return is really exciting.”
The programme, which made its debut in 2000 and was licensed to over 70 countries, used to air at teatime every weeknight but producers are currently toying with the idea of making it a primetime Saturday night series.
The insider explained: “This time around, it will be a celebrities at the helm which will really give it a fresh and fun new feel. Terms have been agreed in principle, and the BBC are hopeful of attracting some great – albeit brave – celeb names.”
And it looks like things are moving along in the right direction as Anne – who made a name for herself as the “queen of mean” – has confirmed she’s been in talks with the BBC about reviving the show full time after the charity special hits screens this year.
She told the publication: “I’ve been chatting to the BBC controller of Entertainment who has had the idea of reviving the show. Who knows? I’m a bit on the old side for television and I can’t bake cakes. But I’m quite good at marinating my tongue in acid.”

Montana Brown calls Camilla Thurlow ‘draining’

OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Montana Brown has slammed Camilla Thurlow for being “draining”.
The pair were close friends when they first got to know each other inside ITV2 dating show’s famous villa but on last night’s episode (18.07.17) Montana blasted Camilla behind her back to fellow housemate Georgia Harrison, saying she’s struggling to keep her cool with the blonde beauty because she is so “sensitive”.
The 21-year-old beauty fumed to Georgia: “I’m losing my temper with Camilla, I’m finding it f***ing hard. Being close with her is quite draining, she’s someone that needs picking up. She’s very sensitive compared to the average person. I’ve had to take some steps back from her which is such a shame.”
Their gossip came after Camilla whined about how she doesn’t think she is good enough for Jamie Jewitt.
The couples in the house had a challenge where they had to answer questions with a lie detector and viewers were left shocked when Camilla turned out to be lying about whether they are compatible or not.
When quizzed whether she thinks she and Jamie make a good match, she simply replied: “Yes.”
Camilla then poured her heart out revealing the real reason why she told a fib.
Speaking in the diary room, she wept: “The sad fact is I know exactly why I and Jamie are not compatible, and it’s because I don’t think I’m good enough for him.
“That’s the thing I’ve been fighting against.”
However, she said she doesn’t know if their relationship will last outside of the programme.
She explained: “I know we’re compatible and we have so much in common, I know how amazing he is. But part of me is thinking I can’t keep up.”

Candice Brown: GBBO will be ‘incredible’ on Channel 4

OHMYGOSSIP — Candice Brown thinks the new ‘Great British Bake Off’ will be “incredible.”
The lipstick-loving baker – who was crowned the winner of last year’s series of the culinary show when it was aired on the BBC – can’t wait to watch the revamp of the popular programme now that it’s moved across to Channel 4 and is convinced the new line-up, featuring Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, will bring a fresh look to the format.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Wednesday (19.07.17), she said: “I am really excited to see who we will welcome into our little Bake Off family and to see how the judges get on.
“I think it’s going to be incredible. I think Noel and Sandi are just going to be that real light relief that the bakers need in that really stressful time.”
The series is expected to hit television screens later this year and, although fellow contestants are convinced it’ll do well, it’s been claimed Paul and Prue have already locked horns.
A show insider said: “The feeling backstage has totally changed with the new line-up. Prue has told staff she can’t stand Paul.”
The 77-year-old presenter replaced long-time host Mary Berry after the popular baking show moved channels, while Sandi and Noel took over from Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
However, despite the rumours, a spokesperson for Channel 4 – who swiped the baking show from the BBC last September after they offered a higher sum in return for a three-year deal – is adamant the foursome get on really well.
The representative said recently: “‘The Great British Bake Off’ team get on brilliantly and together have all the ingredients for a show-stopping series.”

Beverley Callard didn’t think she’d suffer with depression

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard “never” thought she’d suffer with depression.
The 60-year-old actress – who is best known for playing doctors’ surgery receptionist Liz McDonald in the long-running soap – was signed off work last year when she sunk into a dark place after her medication that she’d been taking for years to control her emotional state was stopped without warning and, although she insists she’s now back to “normal”, she never expected to suffer with the condition because she’s such a “strong” woman.
Speaking to Yours magazine, she said: “I’m really well, and feel like I’m back to normal. I have to be sensible – I’m a workaholic and have to try to relax, which I don’t find easy.
“Overcoming clinical depression is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I never thought it would happen to me. I’m a strong female, very feisty. But I think depression has a tendency to affect strong people, as we keep going no matter what. We take everything on and I’m a perfectionist – I learn my lines way too early. I’m also a people pleaser.
“I put a lot of pressure on myself. It helps that I teach fitness classes twice a week, and an added benefit is the weight I’ve put on due to medication is slowly shifting.”
Beverley has battled with depression for the majority of her life but, following her crippling breakdown, her new psychiatrist is convinced she also has bipolar.
She said recently: “My psychiatrist at present, he is convinced that I am bipolar too. He is convinced of it. The way he explained it to me is that I don’t get these amazing highs or hallucinations. But I get the tremendous lows. I don’t get the good bits I get the bad bits. But now I am much more even and relaxed.”

Lauren Goodger has big row with jailbird beau

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger reportedly had a “furious argument” with her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison last week.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star was left red faced earlier this month when her ex-fiance Mark Wright allegedly had her thrown out of Sheesh in Essex so that he didn’t have to be in the same proximity as her, but it looks like her week went from bad to worse as she and her beau – who is currently behind bars for possession of a firearm, kidnap, blackmail, actual bodily harm and aggravated burglary – got into a war of words.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lauren and Joey had a furious argument and they came close to breaking up. They aren’t in a good place right now. The timing was bad given everything that happened with Mark last week. Lauren is madly in love with Joey but their circumstances make it incredibly frustrating.
“What would have been a normal argument for another couple turned into a blazing row. It wasn’t pretty and she made it clear how unhappy she was about what was going on between them.”
And, although the 30-year-old reality TV beauty wants to make it work between them, friends believe the pair will struggle to get over this row as it was their “worst one” yet.
The insider explained: “Lauren has been waiting for Joey and she’s devoted to him but this was their worst row yet and everyone can see it’s going to be a tough road ahead.”
Joey has been locked up since 2008 but he’s expected to be released sometime next year, and Lauren has vowed to stick by him so that they can start a family of their own when he’s finally free.
She said recently: “I’d like it to happen. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I want a baby and the sooner the better. I’ve been celibate for a year, so It will be amazing to spend some time with him on our own. Maybe cook some dinner together, spend the night together. Do normal things that we haven’t been able to do.”

ITV bosses restrict alcohol to stop drunken romps

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ bosses have restricted the amount of alcohol to stop drunken romps.
The current series of the dating show has been the raunchiest yet – with four couples having sex on screen on Sunday (16.07.17) – but producers are concerned that the episodes are becoming too rude for viewers, so have decided to limit the amount of booze contestants are allowed to drink in the hope of reducing the frisky behaviour.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “They want it to be about the romance, not the sexual relationships. Some couples can’t stop having sex and are going at it almost every night. Producers are being ultra-careful not to let sex become the focus of the show so have refrained from airing saucy scenes.”
Bosses have been having “consent chats” with the stars to ensure they didn’t engaged in sexual activity while heavily under the influence of alcohol, but they have now enforced a booze ban meaning contestants are only allowed two drinks a night.
Camilla Thurlow, 27, and model Jamie Jewitt, 27, set tongues wagging last weekend when they were spotted getting very intimate with each other in the villa.
Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay have reportedly romped as many as 12 times during their time on the show, but only three of their steamy sessions have made it to air.
Similarly, Jess Shears and Dom Lever are said to have had sex eight times before they left the show, and yet only one of their love-making sessions was broadcast.
Host Caroline Flack said: “We have always only shown the sexy bits if they have been relevant. It has been more heartfelt this year so we have needed to follow their emotional journey.”
