Birds of Prey Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

With all the shake-ups at DC Studios right now, it’s hard to tell what the future holds in the DCU. And it’s probably too early to tell at this point too.  James Gunn and Peter Safran have only been in their new jobs as studio co-heads for a month, with scrapped movies and recasting rumors galore.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead started out her film career playing the daughter of Bruce Willis‘ John McClane in “Live Free or Die Hard, but has carved out a big career since then, including the action genre.

WarnerMedia loves to develop a heap of DC Comics projects, and it sounds like we’ll be getting another one. A report from the usually reliable Cinelinx states that Misha Green (“Lovecraft Country“) is currently writing a project (could be a film or series) that will focus on Jurnee Smollett‘s Black Canary from “Birds of Prey.” The pair had previously worked together on “Lovecraft Country,” so a reunion would make sense on paper.

The future of Margot Robbie‘s DC Comics character Harley Quinn is a little unclear at the moment, outside of her upcoming appearance in James Gunn‘s “The Suicide Squad,” a sort of soft reboot-y sequel to the David Ayer film from 2016. While Cathy Yan‘s “Birds of Prey” was originally billed as a solo Harley Quinn film, it ultimately became another group lineup with Quinn partnering up with female characters such as Huntress, Black Canary, Renee Montoya, and the young Cassandra Cain.

Coming off the box office success of Sony‘s “Bad Boys For Life,” directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were scooped up by Marvel Studios for their “Ms. Marvel” series for Disney+ and would help the studio bring fangirl-turned-superhero Kamala Khan, to life.

If it’s February it’s time for guild nominations! Wait, isn’t February when the winners are announced? Well, not in this pandemic timeline. This morning the Art Directors Guild revealed their nominees for the 2021 ADG Awards and there were few surprises as the artists behind “Birds of Prey,” “Mank,” “The Mandalorian,” “The Crown” and “The Queen’s Gambit” were all recognized.

For many people, the name Cathy Yan automatically brings to mind “Birds of Prey.” That makes sense, considering for years, that is the only film that the young filmmaker has released. But you see, “Birds of Prey” isn’t her first film.

If there is any category that was full of surprises on Oscar’s shortlist day, it’s Visual Effets. To say there were unexpected selections and a slew of snubs is a major understatement.

Over the course of only two feature films, Cathy Yan has already amassed an interesting journey for any filmmaker. From beginning on a critically acclaimed Sundance award-winning film, “Dead Pigs,” which was sitting on the shelf for three years to then moving to a massive superhero film like “Birds of Prey,” she’s experienced quite a bit of what Hollywood and the film industry has to offer, specifically when it comes to challenges.

Though certain segments of social media might disagree, it’s always a good thing when there are more inclusivity and diversity in the film industry. This is just a fact.

I’ve been holed up in Brooklyn since early March, save a few treks across state lines via rental car, and on each of those trips I’ve been sure to visit a drive-in. That’s how I caught “Jaws” on the Fourth of July, and “Boys State” and “The Rental.” But half of the movies on this, my top 10 favorite movies of 2020 list, are ones that I saw in honest-to-god theaters way back in the spring.

It was admittedly hard to express a lot of interest in new films when my brain was just that gif of Dorinda from “Real Housewives of New York” spitting, “I’ll tell you how I’m doing! Not well, bitch!” playing on a loop. Film felt frivolous, with the collapse of many industries, the rise in homelessness, the lack of leadership, the absence of infrastructure to support and protect people, and continued racial injustice waking people up to systems and paradigms of inequity.

Jurnee Smollett has made notable appearances on everything from to. Most recently she starred on co-creator Misha Green’s short-lived WGN America series and was enlisted to play Black Canary opposite Margot Robbie in.

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been increased discussion regarding Director’s Cuts of DC superhero films, thanks in no small part to HBO Max’s upcoming 2021 release of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.” We’ve seen the discussion include David Ayer and his much-maligned “Suicide Squad,” and now, Cathy Yan and “Birds of Prey.” However, in the latter’s case, it appears the filmmaker has no interest in hearing rumors regarding what was cut from her version of the superhero film from earlier

A wise woman (Beyonce, that's who!) once sang out loud and proud, "Who run the world? GIRLS!" and 2020 is proof of that! As we enter another year, women have proved time and yet again that no matter how many obstacles you put in front of them, they will persevere and come out stronger than ever before. Even in the entertainment industry, women are making a mark of their own and finally erasing, albeit slowly, the stereotypical 'It's a man's, man's, man's world' attitude!
