“Star Wars” Movies Are Taking a Break After “The Rise of Skywalker”

Star Wars movies are going to take a “hiatus” for a couple of years

“Star Wars” is a trending topic lately, from official news that the movies will be streaming in the upcoming Disney+ streaming service to the multi-day “Star Wars” Celebration, which featured a teaser for December’s “Episode IX”, where we learned the movie was titled “The Rise of Skywalker.” There have also been significant revelations about Galaxy’s Edge, an upcoming theme park wing opening at both Disney World and Disneyland.

After the next film, we will not be receiving a new “Star Wars” movie for a while. The news was dropped by EW, via Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

“We’re going to take a hiatus for a couple of years,” Kennedy told the publication. “And we’re taking the time to look at where this is going from the standpoint of a saga.”

That said, that does not mean there won’t be any “Star Wars” content. Kennedy explained there would be more attention directed towards the Disney+ streaming platform. There are already shows including Jon Favreau’s “The Mandalorian” a series about a Rogue One rogue. Meanwhile, executives will be focusing on the next steps in the “Star Wars” franchise.

“We’re not just looking at what the next three movies might be, or talking about this in terms of a trilogy,” Kennedy added. “We’re looking at: What is the next decade of storytelling?”

Kennedy suggests that one possibility are films will flash backward. “I think this is a huge opportunity to step into the galaxy in a little bit different part of the timeline,” she said.

Kennedy did not mention whether the box office reports of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” affected other feature films, but she did re-commit to diversifying George Lucas’ universe even more than they already have since “The Force Awakens.”

“We have a series of filmmakers that we’re bringing into the fold, that we can start to look at as directing talent, and we’re trying to bring women into the mix as well,” Kennedy said. “We’re making it very inclusive with the group of people that we’re pulling together.”

Actor Jason Mitchell Reveals How To Not Get Typecast

Actor Jason Mitchell Reveals How To Not Get Typecast

Actor Jason Mitchell shares his philosophy to staying relevant and avoiding getting typecast in Hollywood.

Actor Jason Mitchell was an unknown actor before shocking and amazing audiences portraying N.W.A. rapper Eazy-E in “Straight Outta Compton,” and he has since appeared in a variety of successful movies and shows including “Keanu,” “Mudbound,” “Kong: Skull Island,” and “The Disaster Artist” and Showtime’s “The Chi.”

Project Casting posted casting calls for aspiring actors to audition for the leading roles in the N.W.A. movie. Casting calls were being held nationwide from Los Angeles all the way to Atlanta. After several nationwide casting calls, casting directors chose their modern-day version of N.W.A.

According to the NYPost, Jason Mitchell was a struggling New Orleans actor with no acting experience when he submitted an audition tape to play rapper Eazy-E in “Straight Outta Compton,” the biopic about the 1980s rap group N.W.A.

THE ACTOR STUDIED VIDEO FOOTAGE OF EAZY (NÉ ERIC WRIGHT) AND LISTENED TO HIS MUSIC UNTIL HE COULD MIMIC THE LATE RAPPER’S SPEECH AND MANNERISMS. DIRECTOR F. GARY GRAY LIKED WHAT HE SAW, AND ASKED MITCHELL TO LOS ANGELES FOR A CALLBACK AUDITION.

But, he nearly lost the role of a lifetime after he was unable to pay for a plane ticket to Los Angeles. He needed $1,500 to attend the callback. Luckily, the movie’s director settled for a Skype audition instead.

Jason Mitchell only started acting five years ago. “To be honest, acting was something where I got a chance to be somebody else and forget about the situation I was in,” he says. “I got caught up in the drug scene like a lot of my friends. We were making mistakes.”

Recently, Mitchell spoke to Collider to promote his new movie “The Mustang” and reflected on his image and career, especially on how he avoids getting typecast:

“I definitely feel like I have a lot more to show, but I definitely feel like I’m on the right track, too. I have 67 tattoos and I didn’t start acting ‘til I was 23 years old, so a part of me feels like I’m gonna get pigeonholed and typecast, and they’re always gonna keep me in that box because this is how I look, this is where I come from, and this is how I talk. So, after I did Compton, I was like, ‘You know what? I need to show everybody that I’m a 17-layer cake. I got faces on faces on faces, that you have not seen of me.’ And I feel like every role that I picked had to be different because I just knew, after I played Eazy-E, that they would call me for all the gangster roles. They called me to be Eazy-E, in every other movie. I was like, ‘Oh, man, I gotta make sure I don’t get crushed like this.’ Every person I play, I try to make them from a different world and have them be somebody different.”

Oprah and Prince Harry are Creating a Mental Health Documentary for Apple

Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry are making a mental health documentary series for Apple.

Entertainment royalty and British royalty are working together for a new series. The multi-part documentary series will be available for the Apple TV+, the iPhone company’s new streaming service.

According to a post from Harry’s Duke of Sussex Instagram account, the project “will focus on both mental illness and mental wellness” and aims to inspire viewers “to have an honest conversation about the challenges each of us faces, and how to equip ourselves with the tools to not simply survive, but to thrive.”

The post goes on to explain Oprah, and Prince Harry will be working together as partners, co-creators, and executive producers of the series, and the project has been in development for months.

The series will build on Prince Harry’s continual efforts to raise awareness on the importance of discussing mental health. In addition to sharing his own experience over the years, he’s worked with various organizations and co-launched Heads Together in 2017, which is a campaign to fundraise mental health services and end the stigma behind mental health.

“I truly believe that good mental health — mental fitness — is the key to powerful leadership, productive communities, and a purpose-driven self. It is a huge responsibility to get this right as we bring you the facts, the science and the awareness of a subject that is so relevant during these times,” Prince Harry was quoted in the Instagram post.

“Our hope is that this series will be positive, enlightening and inclusive — sharing global stories of unparalleled human spirit fighting back from the darkest places, and the opportunity for us to understand ourselves and those around us better. I am incredibly proud to be working alongside Oprah on this vital series.”

Oprah also commented on the post, writing, “Delighted to be partnering with you. Hope we shed a lot of Light. And change some lives!”

“Star Wars” actor Adam Driver reveals filming in front of a green screen is challenging.

It is very hard to imagine what it is like working on the set of a movie like “Star Wars”. It is reasonable to believe, you would see functioning lightsabers and highly realistic Space scenes in the background. But, according to Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver, it is not that impressive.

“You’re standing in front of a screen and they’re like ‘trust us, your lightsaber is working’ or ‘there’s Space behind you, it looks really cool,'” he said. “You don’t feel like you’re commanding anybody other than sticks and ping pong balls.”

“Like, I have this in my basement,” he added.

Check out the video above.

Australia’s Film Industry is Expected to Get a Major Boost

Australia’s film industry is expected to get a significant boost.

Streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime are now eligible for Australian filming incentives after the federal government announced this week they would be opening the eligibility of production costs to TV and mini-series distributed through online platforms. The goal is to boost local production in the country by giving online streaming platforms the ability to claim film tax credits if they meet other requirements.

Recently, Netflix has picked up two original Australian series including “Tidelands” and “Lunatics.” Netflix is also working on a drama with Foxtel called “Secret City: Under The Eagle” and Matchbox Pictures’ “Glitch.”

“Increased demand for our screen skills is essential to developing a sustainable sector,” Communications Minister Mitch Fifield said announcing the changes.

“Large-budget productions strengthen Australia’s capacity to produce high-quality stories for Australian and international audiences by providing skills development and training opportunities that go significantly beyond what can be achieved on smaller-budget productions,” Fifield added.

Debra Richards, CEO of locations marketing agency Ausfilm told The Hollywood Reporter, “SVODS are also major players in content and distribution globally, so the Government’s decision to include SVOD television as an eligible platform to apply for the Location and PDV Offsets supports the Australian screen industry to increase opportunities for more work, more jobs, more training, more innovation and more growth of their business. Ausfilm is delighted with the Government’s announcement of this resolution to the existing Offsets”.

This news comes a week after the government would provide a film grant of $18 million to Marvel for the movie studio to film their next feature film in Australia.

A press release said that the filming on the “Untitled Marvel Studios Feature Film” would take place later this year based at Fox Studios Australia and other locations around the country.

Australia’s film incentive program includes 30 percent post, digital and visual effects tax credit, a 16.5 percent locations offset and a locations incentives, capped at $25 million a year.
