‘A Quiet Place 2’ Release Delayed Amid Coronavirus Outbreak - Variety

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt’s thriller “A Quiet Place Part II” has been delayed amid concerns around an escalating coronavirus pandemic.

The film, which is released by Paramount Pictures, was slated to roll out internationally on March 18, with a U.K. debut scheduled for March 19 and a North American release set for March 20.

Paramount has not set a new release date for the film yet.

“After much consideration, and in light of the ongoing and developing situation concerning coronavirus and restrictions on global travel and public gatherings, Paramount Pictures will be moving the worldwide release of ‘A Quiet Place Part II,'” the studio said in a statement Thursday. “We believe in and support the theatrical experience, and we look forward to bringing this film to audiences this year once we have a better understanding of the impact of this pandemic on the global theatrical marketplace.”

Krasinski also released a statement that reads, “One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together. Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s going on in the world around us, now is clearly not the right time to do that. As insanely excited as we are for all of you to see this movie .. I’m gonna wait to release the film till we CAN all see it together! So here’s to our group movie date! See you soon!”

U.K. exhibitors were reportedly told Thursday morning that the film had been pulled from schedules for the time being.

The film joins a number of features that have been delayed as a result of coronavirus concerns. Sony recently pushed the global release of “Peter Rabbit 2” to August, while the latest James Bond movie “No Time to Die” grabbed headlines when MGM, Universal and Eon postponed the film’s April release to November.

Cinemas have closed across Europe as governments step up measures to contain the outbreak. Virtually all theaters have been shuttered in Italy, while screens across Poland, parts of the Middle East and India are also being closed. Moviegoing in North America hasn’t been impacted so far, but that could change as officials take measures to limit non-essential public gatherings.

“A Quiet Place II,” which follows Blunt’s character as she fights for her family’s survival in total silence, has been heavily marketed globally, particularly as the release is just around the corner. The first film grossed $340 million at the global box office.

The news was first reported by Deadline.

Why It's Possible Peter Weber Could Return to 'The Bachelor' Franchise in the Future - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

This season of The Bachelor ended on a very vague note. There is a possibility that Peter Weber will pursue a relationship with a contestant, but it’s still unclear. Will fans be able to see him on TV again? Find out what an executive had to say about following up on his story and more. [Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for The Bachelor season finale ahead.]

Peter Weber’s season of ‘The Bachelor’ wasn’t spoiled

It was teased from the very beginning that this season of The Bachelor won’t be able to be spoiled. The pilot talked about being excited about this.

“I’m really excited for this season because I’m very confident that no one is going to be able to spoil it, There’s a reason I believe that — and obviously I can’t say it, otherwise it gives it away. I’m very confident that Reality Steve and all of these people, they’re not going to find out what happens — there’s no way they’re going to find out,” Weber told The Hollywood Reporter.

We then found out the reason why. The After the Final Rose was where he revealed whether he is in a relationship after filming.

Weber and Madison Prewett might continue their relationship

The finale showed Weber getting down on one knee for Hannah Ann Sluss after Madison left the show. However, they broke up and Chris Harrison told Madison she might have another chance at love with him. They then reunited.

Weber and Madison reunited on After the Final Rose again. They don’t seem to be in a defined relationship despite admitting they still have feelings for each other.

“I love Peter and that hasn’t changed since that day in Australia,” she said. Madison later said, “I think we were both kind of hoping that after that day in Australia that we would be able to have closure and move on. But I think those feelings never went away.”

Chris Harrison asked them how this is going to end. “Listen, I just think it’s important to say now obviously we talked a little since. We haven’t seen each other, but we’ve been able to talk,” Weber said. “We’ve both been really hurt, extremely hurt and been through the ringer with all this. And I know there’s a lot of healing that both of us have to do. But I know the love and respect that I have for you and that will never change.”

The pilot later admitted, “I don’t know what this actually means right now.” Harrison asked them if they want to try to make their relationship work. Weber answered they’ll take it “one day at a time.”

Weber’s season ended on a very unclear note. Rob Mills, ABC’s Senior Vice President of Alternative Series, Specials & Late-Night Programming, was asked in his interview with Variety if we will see Weber and Madison again.

“If it’s warranted,” he said. “I think, right now, they deserve their privacy. But of course we’ll check up on them. If there’s something that warrants us filming, we would love to be there.”

Bachelor Nation was certainly not happy with Weber by the end of the season. They probably would have something to say if we do see him on TV again.

Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson isolated at hospital 'in stable condition' after coronavirus diagnosis, officials say - Fox News

Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson are "in stable condition" at an Australian hospital after they were diagnosed with coronavirus.

Officials shared an update on the American actors on Thursday after Hanks shared on Instagram that he and Wilson were fully cooperating with the country's medical requirements after testing positive for COVID-19.

The couple is being treated at a Queensland hospital and are in isolation, Australian officials said Thursday.

TOM HANKS, RITA WILSON SAY THEY'VE TESTED POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS

“We wish them a very speedy recovery," state Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told reporters.

Hanks had been in Australia shooting an untitled Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann. Hanks plays Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The film, slated for release in October 2021, has suspended production, Warner Bros. said.

The two-time Oscar winner is easily the most famous person yet to disclose they have COVID-19, which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic.

BRIGITTE NIELSEN SAYS HER SONS IN ITALY ‘ARE SCARED’ ABOUT CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN: ‘THERE IS A PANIC’

Hanks said he and Wilson had felt tired, with colds, aches and slight fevers. “To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus and were found to be positive," he said, adding they'll be "isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”

The couple's son Chet Hanks said his parents, both 63, are doing well.

"What up everyone. Yeah, it's true, my parents got coronavirus. Crazy," said Chet on Instagram. "They're both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there but I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine, they're not even that sick."

CELEBRITIES REACT TO TRUMP'S CORONAVIRUS ADDRESS: 'EVIL EMPIRE MUST GO'

Chet continued, explaining that his parents aren't worried nor are they "trippin' but they're going through the necessary health precautions..."

"I appreciate everyone's concern and the well wishes but I think it's all going to be alright but I appreciate it and just, everybody stay safe out there," Chet concluded. "Much love."

Wilson had performed at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday night and earlier last week in Brisbane.

Queensland health authorities would not give specifics on their health due to privacy issues. But the state's update on its coronavirus infections describe a U.S. couple of their age, both in stable condition.

Palaszczuk said people who had been in close contact with Hanks and Wilson will have to self-quarantine but she cautioned that people who had taken selfies with Hanks recently should not panic about contracting the virus.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kate Beckinsale reveals Harvey Weinstein screamed at her for not dressing sexy on a post-9/11 red carpet - Fox News

Kate Beckinsale shared a shocking story about verbal abuse and sexual harassment she said she endured from the now-convicted rapist and former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Weinstein, who has been accused of violating scores of women, was convicted last month of raping a woman in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his apartment in 2006. He faced a maximum of 29 years in prison but was given 23.

Beckinsale, who previously detailed stories about Weinstein being inappropriate with her, took to Instagram to remark on the disgraced Hollywood big shot’s sentence and share a cautionary tale about the battles women still have to face in show business.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN SENTENCE: WHAT IT MEANS FOR HIS FAMILY AND WHAT'S NEXT IN THE CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL CASE

The actress posted an image of herself at the Oct. 5, 2001 premiere of the movie “Serendipity.” Given that the premiere was in New York City, shortly after 9/11, she noted that she didn’t want to attend at all, writing that with “the city still smoking felt like the most insensitive, tone-deaf, disrespectful idea possible. However, Weinstein allegedly insisted that the red carpet event happen all the same.

To keep things tasteful, she wore a billowy, all-white suit and tie, which she would soon learn outraged Weinstein.

“The next morning Harvey called me and asked if I would like to bring my less than two year old daughter to his house for a playdate with his similar aged daughter [and] I said ok,” she shared. “I turned up and he immediately called for his nanny to take the babies to another room to play. I went to go with them and he said 'No, you wait here.'”

KATE BECKINSALE DEFENDS BIKINI PICS AFTER TROLL SAYS SHE'S HAVING A MIDLIFE CRISIS

That’s when Weinstein allegedly laid into her with a verbal and sexually aggressive tirade about her attire the previous night.

“The minute the door closed he started screaming ‘you stupid f---ing C---, you C--- you ruined my premiere.’ I had no idea what he was talking about and started to shake. He said, ‘If I am throwing a red carpet you get in a tight dress, you shake your a-- you shake your t--s you do not go down it looking like a f---ing lesbian you stupid f---ing c---.”

She explained in the post that the screaming, coming from the powerful producer, made her start to cry. She tried to explain that she felt it would have been in bad taste given the loss of lives just weeks prior, to come out “dressed like it’s a bachelor party.”

Weinstein reportedly shot back: “I don’t care -it’s my f---ing premiere and if I want p---y on the red carpet, that’s what I get.”

She recalled immediately getting her child out of there and noted that it was not the last time that Weinstein would scream at her for disagreeing with him. She also highlighted the fact that the behavior, while abhorrent, was not illegal and therefore not something she could really do something about.

KATE BECKINSALE SLAMS SOCIAL MEDIA TROLLS JUDGING HER FOR HANGING OUT WITH MACHINE GUN KELLY

“Hearing that he has gone to prison for 23 years is a huge relief to me on behalf of all the women he sexually assaulted or raped, and I hope will be a deterrent to that sort of behavior in this and any other industry,” Beckinsale concluded. “Having said that, the crimes that are not crimes, the inhumane bullying and sick covert abuse for which there is STILL no recourse no matter who you tell(and I did tell), these too need to go. I hope and pray that we as an industry can start to actually outlaw all abuses of power and expose them and eliminate them, for all genders.”

A representative for Weinstein had no comment when reached by Fox News.

In 2017, shortly after exposes about Weinstein prompted a slew of women to come forward and share their stories about suffering abuse at his hand, Beckinsale revealed that Weinstein had spoken to her like that in the past but gave few details. At the time, she recalled meeting him at age 17 and feeling like he was hitting on her even then.

She recalled Weinstein later asking her if he tried anything when they first met.

“I realized he couldn’t remember if he had assaulted me or not,” she wrote at the time.

Kate Beckinsale: Harvey Weinstein encounter 'left in tears' - BBC News

Kate Beckinsale has said Harvey Weinstein was verbally abusive towards her after a film premiere in 2001.

The actress alleges she was left in tears after Weinstein objected to an outfit she wore to a premiere, which he said made her "look like a lesbian".

The disgraced movie producer was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault on Wednesday.

Representatives for Weinstein said he was unable to respond to Beckinsale's claims.

White suit instead of a dress

In an Instagram post which contains highly offensive language, Beckinsale uploaded a picture of her outfit and recalled her encounter with Weinstein.

The actress said she was reluctant to attend the premiere for her film Serendipity because it took place less than a month after the 9/11 terror attacks, which she says felt "disrespectful".

But Beckinsale claims Weinstein, whose entertainment company Miramax distributed the film, "insisted" the premiere go ahead.

The actress agreed to attend the event as a result and was photographed attending wearing a white suit on 5 October, 2001.

However, she alleges, Weinstein invited her to his house so their young daughters could have a playdate the following morning, where he was verbally abusive towards her.

Beckinsale says Weinstein told her she had "ruined" his premiere by wearing the outfit.

"He said: 'If I am throwing a red carpet you get in a tight dress, you shake your ass... you do not go down it looking like a lesbian'," Beckinsale recalled in the post.

The actress said she was "screaming" and livid" after the exchange, which made her "burst into tears".

Beckinsale said her two-year-old daughter and Weinstein's young daughter were in the house at the time, but being looked after by Weinstein's nanny in a separate room.

"I managed to get myself and my child out of there and yes that was one of many experiences I had that there was no recourse for, and falls under no felony," Beckinsale said.

Some of the actress's followers questioned the timing of her Instagram post and asked why she had waited until after Weinstein's trial and sentencing to tell the story.

Dozens of women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, including rape, against Weinstein since October 2017.

He has consistently denied wrongdoing and his lawyers have vowed to appeal against his conviction for rape and sexual assault.

Speaking in court on Wednesday, Weinstein saying he had "deep remorse" but described him and other men as "totally confused" by events, in comments seen as critical to the #MeToo movement.

Hours after being sentenced, Weinstein was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan with chest pains, a spokesman said. He had heart surgery after his conviction.

Actress Reese Witherspoon welcomed Weinstein's sentencing, writing on Twitter: "A historical moment today. I am so appreciative of the women and men who spoke up about the abuse and harassment they suffered at the hands of Harvey Weinstein."

In her Instagram post, Beckinsale said the movie mogul's prison sentence was "a huge relief to me on behalf of all the women he sexually assaulted or raped, and I hope will be a deterrent to that sort of behaviour in this and any other industry."

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry 'crushed' after 'unnecessarily cruel' Megxit, expert says - Fox News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made the difficult decision to step back as senior members of the royal family because the pair felt they had no other choice, according to one royal expert.

Omid Scobie, royal editor of HarpersBazaar.com, says he witnessed the Sussexes' first photoshoot as a couple in 2017 and followed the pair closely throughout their many royal engagements over the years, up until Meghan's tearful goodbye at Buckingham Palace this week.

Now, the expert claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "never" expected to make such a bold departure. Instead, he believes they were forced out.

"To say they were crushed is an understatement," Scobie wrote of Harry and Meghan's realization that Megxit was the next step.

The expert claimed the couple's decision is one they "still feel wasn't necessary" but the pair was "left with no other choice but to create their own change after being left to fend for themselves" -- even amid Meghan's pregnancy.

"They knew something had to change, but they also didn't want to stop supporting the queen. One can't help but wonder if things might have been different if a family member or two had stood up for them during the darkest times," Scobie continued.

Jan. 8 marked the day Meghan and Harry stunned the world and their families with the announcement of their impending departure as senior royals. Meghan reportedly left for Canada on Monday as Prince Harry stayed back in the U.K. following the Commonwealth Day Service.

Meghan and Harry are "very much hurting," Scobie claims.

Prince Harry is also reeling from having to give up his military honors after serving in the British army for 10 years, Scobie added, calling it a "wound that will take time to heal."

Scobie's claims come amid reports Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton, is particularly struggling with Prince Harry's exit.

A source close to the palace told Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl that the Duchess of Cambridge feels “very sad” about the couple’s last appearance before stepping down as senior royals.

Scobie concluded Megxit is a dark ending for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"For a couple who only ever wanted to focus on their work and bring good to the world, it seems like an unnecessarily cruel ending to their royal lives. Forced to give up roles they're incredibly proud of after sacrificing so much to get there," he said.
