Angelina Jolie’s ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’ gets a May release

written by Ruben Jay

Warner Bros. has announced that Angelina Jolie’s upcoming film, Those Who Wish Me Dead, will be coming out in May for a theatrical and streaming release.

WarnerMedia made headlines last year when they announced that all their movies will be released on HBO MAX and theatrically at the same time. Many studios are not happy with that announcement.

Variety is reporting that the film is “Based on Michael Koryta’s 2014 novel of the same name, the film is described as a female-driven Western set amidst a wildfire raging in the Montana wilderness. When a teenager witnesses a murder, he finds himself being pursued by twin assassins in the Montana wilderness. Though there is a survival expert tasked with protecting him, the forest fire threatens to destroy them all.”

The film stars Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Tyler Perry, Jon Bernthal, Aidan Gillen, Medina Senghore, Finn Little, Jake Weber, James Jordan and Tory Kittles.

Those Who Wish Me Dead will be released on May 14, 2021.

John Cena says he won’t be at WrestleMania. Find out why.

written by Ruben Jay

John Cena says we “Can’t See Him” at WrestleMania this year.

John Cena spoke with Sports Illustrated and said he would not be at this year’s WrestleMania. 

Cena will be filming a new HBO MAX series, Peacemaker, in Canada. Currently, filming is scheduled through the summer.

“Currently, I’m in Vancouver shooting Peacemaker, the series for HBO Max,” Cena told SI’s Justin Barrasso “Given the quarantine regulations, if I were to leave Canada, upon return I would have to quarantine for another two weeks. Essentially, that would shut production down. Strictly based on the letter of the law right now, there is no logistical way I can be there. We film now until July.”

Peacemaker was picked up to series in 2020 for 8 episode series.

Donald Trump’s Hollywood residual income drops

written by Ruben Jay

The former President has seen his income from his Hollywood days shrink.

The 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, saw his Hollywood income plummet.

Trump was a Hollywood power house prior to his Presidential term. During his pre-White House days, Trump was the host of The Apprentice as well as making cameo appearances on many movies.

The New York Post says that his Hollywood income has virtually disappeared, according to his latest financial disclosure. For example, Trump earned $2 million in 2018 from The Apprentice. In 2019, his check from The Apprentice was $1.6 million. Last year, his check was just $275,000.

One of the biggest reasons for the drop off is that The Apprentice is not currently in syndication or streaming anywhere. His union pensions rose a little. He earned $84,292 from SAG and just under $10,000 from AFTRA.

The Super Bowl may not be as “super” for the commercials

written by Ruben Jay

I have one less reason to watch the Super Bowl.

According to the New York Post, the Super Bowl will be seeing less commercials than normal. Many major advertisers like Coke, Pepsi, and Budweiser are all pulling their ads as they were unable to find the “right tone.” Many advertisers struggled to find a tone that worked while dealing with political unrest, record unemployment, and a global pandemic.

“There is trepidation around Super Bowl advertising this year,” said Bill Oberlander, co-founder and executive creative of ad agency Oberlander. “For the Super Bowl, you generally go big or go home. I think brands are going home rather than spending tens of millions of dollars and not getting it right. They’re saying, ‘Let’s wait until this s—storm clears.’”

Coke is the biggest name to pull their ads. The soda company has had a commercial air in every Super Bowl since 2006.

“This difficult choice was made to ensure we are investing in the right resources during these unprecedented times,” Coca-Cola said.

Garth Brooks will be performing at Joe Biden’s inauguration; calls for unity

written by Ruben Jay

Garth Brooks announced that he will be performing at the inauguration ceremony for President Elect Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Brooks claims that this move is not a political move but a move for unity. “This is a great day in our household, this is not a political statement, this is a statement of unity,” Brooks said Monday. “This is history, and it is an honor to get to serve.”

Brooks was reportedly asked to perform by soon to be First Lady, Jill Biden. Brooks will be performing during as part of the swearing in ceremony for the Biden/Harris administration.

“There is a common theme in every presidential election: New beginnings, new starts, but it is the word unity, the word love, the word that we belong to each other. It is going to take all of us, what I want for all of us to do is listen,” Brooks said.  “We are more divided than ever, that bridge that brings us together, it is reaching across, loving one another, because that is what is going to get us through the most divided times that we have.”

Brooks has performed at every Presidential inauguration since Jimmy Carter except for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, the latter due to a scheduling conflict. Brooks will also be sharing the stage with Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.
