BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Jurnee Smollett-Bell Join Birds Of Prey

Well, that didn't take too long. Just few days after we reported that a group of actors were auditioning and screen testing to join Margot Robbie in new Warners/DC pic Birds Of Prey, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell have won their respective parts.

Winstead will be playing Huntress, a character that has had different variations in the comics, including a run as the daughter of Batman and Catwoman. While the likes of Sofia Boutella, Cristin Milioti and Margaret Qualley were up for that role, Winstead has emerged victorious. Likewise Smollett-Bell, who scored the role of Black Canary, known for for her shrieking cry, beat out Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Robbie, of course, will be back as Harley Quinn, with the mismatched team working together to fight a greater threat in Gotham. Still to be decided is the role of detective Rene Montoya, with Justina Machado and Robert Colindrez in the running.

Cathy Yan's directing the eventual film, working from a script by Bumblebee's Christina Hodson. It recently scored a 7 February, 2020 release date. Winstead will be seen in indie comedy drama All About Nina and has a role in Gemini Man. Smollett-Bell has role in horror fantasy TV series Lovecraft Country.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
