‘The National Treasure’ Disney Series is Coming Soon

0

The National Treasure’ franchise is moving to Disney+ for a new TV series. The news comes after news broke in January of an upcoming ‘National Treasure 3’.

According to a statement, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed both the series and the movie are being made at the same time “we’re certainly working on one for streaming, and we’re working on one for the big screen. Hopefully, they’ll both come together, and we’ll bring you another National Treasure, but they’re both very active. The one for Disney+ is a much younger cast. It’s the same concept but a young cast. The one for theatrical would be the same cast.”

Nicolas Cage will not appear in the TV series, according to reports. Bruckheimer added further, “The film version is being written right now. The television version is in process. We have a pilot script done and an outline of the future episodes.”

In relevant news, Nicolas Cage will star in a scripted series about Joe Exotic, the viral star from the Netflix docuseries ‘Tiger King’.

According to Variety, the eight-episode series is produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios and will feature Nicolas Cage as the ‘Tiger King.’

The series will be based on the Texas Monthly article “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad.

CBS Studios optioned the rights to the article in June of 2019. Variety reports Dan Lagana will work as the show’s writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Cage will executive produce the project with his production company Saturn Films.

The series will focus on Joe Schreibvogel, also known as Joe Exotic, a zookeeper who fights to keep his park open even as the world crumbles around him. The series will explore how he became Joe Exotic and how he lost himself in the eccentric character he created.

Popeyes is now hiring out-of-work musicians to remake the “Love That Chicken” Jingle.

Entrants will then be able to submit their demo recordings on social media using the hashtag #LoveThatJingle.

You have until May 18 to share your version of the Popeyes jingle. Popeyes will choose a few entries for TV and radio commercials and you will get paid if selected. Before selection, the Popeyes chan will feature a select few demos in their social posts.

Coronavirus: Gabrielle Union Says Most Black Actors are “One or Two Checks Away From Not Having Money”

Gabrielle Union says most black actors and entertainers are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hollywood’s film and entertainment industry are getting destroyed by the Coronavirus pandemic. During the shutdown, many Black entertainers are just a few paychecks away, according to an Instagram Live interview with Gabrielle Union and model Sharam Diniz.

“For all of the Oprah’s and the people who have just a lot a lot a lot a lot of money, most of us are one or two checks away from not having money to pay for all of our things, you know what I mean? So this stoppage of work and money is impacting marginalized celebrities the most,” she said.

Union continued: “I think a lot of people need to understand the difference between fame and having money. And I think this quarantine is really revealing a lot in terms of – there’s a lot of people who are famous that don’t have wealth.” 

“I think a lot of people need to understand the difference between fame and having money. And I think this quarantine is really revealing a lot in terms of – there’s a lot of people who are famous that don’t have wealth.”

The actress continued the conversation on Twitter saying, “DEFINITELY not comparing struggles. The question that was asked if you watch the whole thing was SPECIFICALLY about how this is impacting Hollywood/Black Hollywood. I have been at every level of the game so I speak from personal experience. That is all. But let’s discuss.”

“For all of the Oprah’s and the people who have just a lot a lot a lot a lot of money, most of us are one or two checks away from not having money to pay for all of our things, you know what I mean? So this stoppage of work and money is impacting marginalized celebrities the most,”

Union added, “The average SAG (actor union) actor makes around 54k a year, while VAST MAJORITY make less than 1k a year from acting work. If we just look at Black actors those #s go down even further. Lets keep talking. Share your stories. Every actor whose name you recognize started somewhere”

In other entertainment news, the Hollywood related Coronavirus shut down won’t reportedly end until 2021. Hollywood is getting hit hard by the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak with filming not set to resume until 2021.

Most studio productions have shut down indefinitely and others are figuring out ways to reopen their facilities.

Despite the health crisis, studio executives are looking into ways to safely resume production. According to Varietystudios and production companies are researching how to accomplish a safe and secure production facility to resume filming movies later this year.

However, according to Elsa Ramo, an attorney who has represented Skydance Media, warns filming may not start until after 2020. “I have a lot of clients with productions that they want to shoot in 2020,” Ramo told Variety. “But it would be arrogant and misleading of me to offer them any sort of assurance that’s possible.” Especially, if another outbreak returns, later on, this year, any plans to restart production in 2020 is far too optimistic for major productions.

Kerry Washington Acting Advice, The Alexander Technique, and the Importance of Shoes

Kerry Washington shares tips for aspiring actors and how she gets into character.

The Emmy Award-nominated actress, says her clothes make her get into the role. In an interview with Terry Gross of NPR’s ‘Fresh Air’, Washington opens up about the impact the role of Olivia Pope had on her acting career and what she learned from playing Anita Hill in the 2016 HBO movie ‘Confirmation’.

Washington says she watched the Anita Hill hearings from 1991 many times to get into character. She says, “I could probably recite the hearings to you now. I watched them so much. And I tried to approach playing her with the influence of Anna Deavere Smith. Like, I really tried to watch the video and listen to the audio and capture the cadence and the rhythm of Anita Hill, and I tried to figure out what I could learn about her personality from the placement of the way that she was speaking to those senators and even in her everyday life – that it’s so very different from how I speak and that that difference is reflective of who she is. So it was really fun to kind of work in that way and wrap my head around her, using her voice and her posture and her walk in sort of an outside-in approach to the character.”

Washington points to Hill’s body language during the hearings as something she tried to imitate. She says, “She actually – she did have very good posture. But she also has a little – I won’t call a slump because she’s far too graceful and elegant to call it a slump. But she protects her heart when she sits. And so there’s a slight curvature to her shoulders in the way that she protects her heart and doesn’t let people have access to her innermost heartfelt feelings and identity.”

She says posture also had a big impact on Olivia Pope. In fact, she points to the Alexander Technique as the acting method she used for the role.

The Alexander Technique is described as “a method which helps a person find a new balance in the body by releasing unnecessary tension. It can be applied to sitting, lying down, standing, walking, lifting, and other daily activities…”

She explains, “I mean, you really – you know, you can study Alexander Technique or you know how people move in the world says a lot about who they are. I used to go to rehearsal for Scandal in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, but I could not do the scene unless I had the shoes – high heel shoes on – four-inch heels because Olivia Pope had a walk and she had a posture and she had a stance. And I couldn’t rehearse a scene in flip-flops or sneakers. Even when I was nine months pregnant playing… Olivia Pope, I was in four-inch heels. Sometimes wedges – but I still had to have that heel because that extra height and that extra lean forward and that extra tightness in the belly, in the core that a heel requires, that’s part of the steeliness of who Olivia Pope is. So I always say I don’t know who a character is until I know what shoes they’re wearing, until I figure out the walk, until I figure out how they stand.”

Hercules Live-Action Disney Movie is Coming Soon

Hercules’ live-action movie is coming soon with Disney.

According to reports, Disney is working on a live-action remake of their hit 1997 animated movie “Hercules” with the team who made the “Avengers” movie, including Joe and Anthony Russo.

Disney hired the talented Dave Callahan (“Godzilla,” “Zombieland: Double Tap,” “Wonder Woman 1984“, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) to write the “Hercules” script. Previously, Callahan worked with Sylvester Stallone for the original “The Expendables” screenplay with plans to create the character to build the Hercules franchise.

Ron Clements and John Musker directed the animated Disney movie. Tate Donovan voiced Hercules. In the film, Hercules is kidnapped as a baby by Hades, and Hades forces him to live among mortals as a demigod. To prove himself worthy to return to Mount Olympus, he must complete a set of challenges. As a result, he learns to defeat evil creatures.

The movie would later make $252 million at the box office. In comparison to “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin” Disney animated movies, it was not a hit. That said, the Russo brothers are known for creating hit movies. The duo is behind “Avengers: Endgame,” which is the highest-grossing film of all time, with $2.79 billion worldwide.

‘Slumdog MIllionaire’ Star Irrfan Khan Dies at 53

Actor Irrfan Khan died on Wednesday.

He was 53. He was previously diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in 2018 and underwent treatment in London. He recovered to shoot his last movie, “Angrezi Medium”. But, that movie’s release was canceled to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this week, he was admitted to the ICU in Mumbai, India, with a colon infection.

He started his acting career with a small role in the 1988 Oscar-nominated movie “Salaam Bombay.” He would gain critical acclaim for 2001’s “The Warrior”, which he won a BAFTA for his lead role.

Khan worked on several significant movies both in Bollywood and Hollywood. Some of his Hollywood movies include “Life of Pi,” “Jurassic World,” and “Inferno”.

Filmmaker Karan Johar tweeted: “Thank you for those indelible movie memories….thank you for raising the bar as an artist …thank you for enriching our cinema….we will miss you, Irrfan, but will always always be immensely grateful for your presence in our lives…..our cinema….we salute you.”

“An incredible talent … a gracious colleague, a prolific contributor to the World of Cinema, left us too soon, creating a huge vacuum,” tweeted veteran Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan.
