News & Updates Rumours X-Men: Apocalypse

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Is Final Sequel for Jennifer Lawrence

On March 26, 2015 By admin Comments Off

Last week, it was reported that X-Men: Apocalypse will most likely mark Nicholas Hoult’s final performance as Beast for the franchise. Now, in a new interview with MTV, co-star Jennifer Lawrence is stating the same thing. Though, where Nicholas Hoult claimed he’d return if asked, Jennifer Lawrence seems pretty confident that this latest franchise sequel will mark her last appearance as shape shifter Mystique. When asks if she is done after her third go at the character, she quite simply states:

“It is my last one. Yes.”

Bryan Singer is set to return for X-Men: Apocalypse, which is confirmed to take place in the 80s. While no other story details have been released, it has long been confirmed that the movie will serve as the end of a trilogy which began with 2011’s X-Men: First Class and continued in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. While it is pretty clear that both Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will return for X-Men: Apocalypse, 20th Century Fox has not yet confirmed the main cast for the movie.

Those who have been confirmed are mostly new actors, which include Oscar Isaac as the title villain, Alexandra Shipp as Young Storm, Sophie Turner as Young Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as young Scott Summer (aka Cyclops) and Kodi Smit-McPhee as young Nightcrawler. Rose Byrne, who last appeared in X-Men: First Class, will reprise her role as ex-CIA agent Moira MacTaggert. It remains to be seen if these newest additions to the cast will appear in future installments of the franchise, but that is very likely. What do you think about this being Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence’s final X-Men movie? Is it too soon to see them go?

X-Men: Apocalypse comes to theaters May 27th, 2016 and stars Oscar Isaac, Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Rose Byrne, Kodi Smit-McPhee. The film is directed by Bryan Singer.

J-Law & Chris Split – Dating Liam Hemsworth?

On March 17, 2015 By admin Comments Off

It looks like Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence may have another breakup on her hands. Some new photos seem to suggest that Chris Martin may be hooking up with a model. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Jen could be dating her co-star and friend, Liam Hemsworth, at the request of her own parents.

When it comes to Jennifer Lawrence’s dating life, it’s often difficult to determine who, if anyone, the young actress is dating.

After her very public breakup with longtime on-again, off-again boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, Jen has been linked to a number of eligible bachelors.

The most insistent reports, however, claim that Lawrence has been dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. But, it looks like that relationship, too, may have ended.

“She’s reportedly been single since she and her fiance, Muse rocker Matthew Bellamy, announced their split in December…But Kate Hudson, 35, was sure to stir up some rumors on Saturday, as she joined 38-year-old Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — who is dating Jennifer Lawrence — for some fun under the sun in Malibu, California…The single parents were seen cozying up on the beach, enjoying some adults-only time while their kids played in the sand.”

Of course, these aren’t the only dating rumors surrounding Jen these days.

America’s sweetheart has also been linked to another dashing gentleman — Hunger Games co-star Liam Hemsworth.

According to one source who spoke with British tabloid Heat, Jen’s parents want to see her with Liam Hemsworth:

“Liam and Jen have always been close — there’s a real bond between them and they turn to each other when they have problems…Her friends and family are desperate for her to ditch Chris — they feel Liam’s a better match and doesn’t carry all the baggage of Gwyneth and children.”

What do you think about the latest reports? Are Chris and Jen over? Would you be excited if Jen started dating Liam Hemsworth?

On March 3, 2015 By admin Comments Off

Warner Bros. has attached Jennifer Lawrence to star in director Steven Spielberg’s “It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life of Love and War,” sources confirm.

The studio won an auction Monday for the rights to the memoir by Lynsey Addario, the award-winning international photojournalist.

“American Sniper” producer Andrew Lazar is on board the drama.

The project attracted multiple offers after an excerpt of Addario’s memoir appeared in the the New York Times Magazine. ICM is repping the author.

Addario, who has traveled to war-torn countries like Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq, won the MacArthur Fellowship in 2008 and was part of the New York Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for International Reporting for her work in Waziristan. She was jailed for several days in Libya in 2011.

Wynn Wygal at Lazar’s company will oversee “It’s What I Do.” Racheline Benveniste and Julia Spiro are overseeing for the studio.

Spielberg is in post-production on the untitled DreamWorks-Disney Cold War thriller, starring Tom Hanks as attorney James Donovan, which has been dated for Oct. 16. The studios have also set Spielberg’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book “The BFG” for July 1, 2016.

Lawrence is currently shooting David O. Russell’s “Joy,” which is set for a Christmas release by Fox. She’ll be seen next in Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2″ in November.

Other bidders for the project included Working Title Films with Reese Witherspoon attached; Darren Aronofsky with Natalie Portman attached; and The Weinstein Company with George Clooney and Grant Heslov involved and Margo Robbie starring.

Joy News & Updates Rumours

Jennifer Lawrence Debunks Severity of Fight With Film Director

On March 3, 2015 By admin Comments Off

Jennifer Lawrence has taken to her Facebook page to vehemently deny rumors that she had an on-set falling out with David O. Russell.

Lawrence, who is currently working on Joy with David O. Russell, wrote a brief passage on her social media page to explain that all of these allegations are completely wide of the mark. She also added that the pair are currently enjoying a fruitful on-set relationship. You can check out her response to this speculation below:

Hey guys! It’s Jen! I know I don’t go on here a lot because I can barely work email but there’s been a terrible rumor going around the last 24 hours so I wanted to clear it up. David O. Russell is one of my closest friends and we have an amazing collaborative working relationship. I adore this man and he does not deserve this tabloid malarkey. This movie is going great and I’m having a blast making it!

There you go then. Clearly all of the rumors that have been circulating were either completely fabricated then. Or it was actually true and this is simply part and parcel of how Russell gets a performance out of Lawrence. And since their previous collaborations together have resulted in Lawrence winning the Best Actress Academy Award for Silver Linings Playbook and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for American Hustle, you can imagine that she is more than happy to be pushed to these extremes by the filmmaker.

It was previously reported by TMZ that Jennifer Lawrence and David O Russell had exchanged angry comments during production on Joy. Eyewitnesses told the aforementioned website that Russell was trying to provoke a response from Lawrence, and that when Harvey Weinstein arrived on set he was told that there simply wasn’t any time to exchange niceties.

Unfortunately David O. Russell’s previous run-ins while filming meant that this story soon started to pick up momentum. While shooting Three Kings it was alleged that David O. Russell and George Clooney nearly came to blows after the director demeaned various members of the crew both physically and verbally. This led Clooney to confront Russell over his actions. But rather than having a calming effect this resulted in the pair have a brief tussle. However, even though he had previously insisted that he wouldn’t ever work with Russell again, Clooney has since revealed that they’ve repaired their relationship.

But this wasn’t the only violent incident that has involved David O. Russell on-set. While working on I Heart Huckabees, videos surfaced online of Russell and actress Lily Tomlin engaging in at least two furious rows. But once again Tomlin soon shot to the defence of the director as she admitted that she prefers to work in such an emotionally-charged atmosphere.

Since I Heart Huckabees, it’s been reported that David O. Russell’s temper has calmed immeasurably. And you can see that in his work. The likes of The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle have not only seen the director regularly work with a steady set of actors that has included Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, but they are also less frenetic and more measured than his previous films.

And because of this his upcoming film, Joy, which will be released on Christmas Day, 2015, is one of the most anticipated of 2015. It’s even been tipped to be a mainstay of next year’s awards season too.
