‘BLACK WIDOW,’ ‘WEST SIDE STORY,’ ‘ETERNALS’ DELAY RELEASE DATES – (09/24/2020)

The pandemic continues to have an impact on Hollywood as the box office struggles and movie studios seem hesitant to release much of anything. Disney is postponing several tentpoles, including Marvel’s Black Widow, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story and Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile by several months.

The news is bad for fans, but worse for theaters, which are struggling to survive. One release that has been kept is Pixar’s Soul. Other Marvel releases, including Eternals, starring Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Kumail Nanjiani, will drop November 5, 2021. Nanjiani endorsed the move on Twitter, writing: “Nothing is more important than health & lives. I can’t tell ppl to go to a movie theater until I feel safe going to one.”

Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will drop July 9, 2021. Deep Water, Adrian Lyne’s thriller with Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, has moved from Nov. 13, 2020. to Aug. 13, 2021.

FORMER EMPLOYEES BLAST ELLEN DEGENERES’ APOLOGY – (09/23/2020)

Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.

When Ellen DeGeneres returned the air Monday, she addressed the investigation into the “toxic work environment” on her eponymous show, which resulted in the firing of three executive producers. But the former employees who first raised the alarm at the show, were not happy about her approach. 

The 62-year-old apologized and promised that she’s not a phony, but she also made sarcastic jokes about how “terrific” her summer had been, and how she’s “impatient” about working on her patience.

“Not only did Ellen turn my trauma, turn our traumas, into a joke, she somehow managed to make this about her,” one former employee told BuzzFeed News.

“When she said, ‘Oh, my summer was great’ and that was supposed to be funny, I thought, ‘It’s funny that you had a rough summer because everyone was calling out all of the allegations of your toxic work environment and now you’re the one suffering?’” another former employee said.

“When you’re talking about people who have accused her leadership of the seriousness of sexual misconduct, I don’t think it’s appropriate to have jokes in the monologue,” a former employee told the outlet.

Others noted that her claims that her “be kind” persona was forced on her by others, are bogus. 

“I don’t feel sorry that she’s in a s–tload of trouble because she branded herself the ‘be kind’ person,” a former employee said. “She’s acting like it was something she said in passing that just stuck with her. It’s not something that stuck with her, it’s not an accident. She went forward with this idea and this marketing strategy that was not true behind the scenes.”

CHADWICK BOSEMAN WAS OPTIMISTIC THAT HE’D BEAT CANCER – (09/03/2020)

A source close to the late Chadwick Boseman was optimistic that he would beat colon cancer and gain weight back in order to be able to star in the Black Panther sequel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source said that Boseman was prepping to star in the role a week before his passing. He was set to start shooting this month.

Disney is now scrambling and uncertain on if or how it should proceed with the Black Panther sequel.

Meanwhile, there were only a few people that knew about Chadwick’s condition, including his producing partner Logan Coles, his agent Michael Greene, his trainer Addison Henderson, 42 director Brian Helgeland were a part of the small group of people that knew about Chadwick’s condition. No one involved with Black Panther, Disney or Marvel were aware. 

Henderson said, “I used to tell Chad, ‘Man, you remind me of my dad. You guys are fighters, and you never stop moving forward.’ For us, it was just like, ‘Let’s keep going, let’s keep doing what you want to do, let’s keep training.’ And then, me and Logan and his family, his wife [Taylor Simone Ledward], we were always just here to support him.”

Henderson added that Boseman made sure to live “his artistic life to the fullest,” focusing on “using his time and his moment to really affect people.” Meanwhile, Greene said that Boseman was inspired by his mom Carolyn to keep his cancer battle private because she “taught him not to have people fulls over him.” Greene added that “He also felt in this business that people trip out about things, and he was a very, very private person.”

Sources say that Boseman was in bout of “hard-core pain” while filming his last film, Netflix’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

As for the projects he chose, Greene indicated that he “never did really dark movies,” because “he was fighting the darkness” himself. Green explained, “I remember him and Tessa [Thompson] were offered a movie, it was about two slaves, and he was like, ‘I do not want to perpetuate slavery.’ It was like, ‘We’re not going to keep perpetuating the stereotypes,’ and that’s why he wanted to show men of strength and of character.”

Boseman was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2016. He died last week at age 43.

CHADWICK BOSEMAN STATUE IN THE WORKS: A Confederate memorial in Chadwick Boseman’s hometown of Anderson, SC, is in the process of removing it and replacing it with a memorial to the iconic actor. The 43-year-old Black Panther star died after a private battle with colon cancer. (TMZ)
