Will Smith To Star In True Runaway Slave Story Emancipation
Will Smith is set to star in the true story of a runaway slave during the Civil War called Emancipation. The original script is based on true events and tells the story of Peter, a runaway slave, "who is forced to outwit cold-blooded hunters and the punishing Louisiana swamp on a tortuous journey to the Union Army and his only chance at freedom." Emancipation is predicted to start production in early 2021.

Kanye West Filed A Trademark To Start His Own Beauty Brand

Kanye West has filed a trademark on a range of beauty products under the name of his brand, Yeezy. The trademark includes plans for foundation makeup, eye makeup, facial cleansers, facial creams, body scrubs, shampoos and conditioners. On top of all that, home products are also listed, such as room fragrances, scented linen sprays and potpourri. Maybe his wife, Kim Kardashian, who has two beauty lines, inspired him. Or maybe it was his sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner, who heads Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin.

The Academy Moves Next Year's Oscars Ceremony To April 25th

The 93rd Academy Awards, which had initially been scheduled for February 28th 2021, has been postponed until April 25th. The vote to delay the show for two months was made at a special Monday-morning virtual meeting of the Academy’s Board of Governors. They made the move because of movie theater closings and release-schedule changes due to COVID-19. The eligibility date for the 93rd Oscars was also extended by two months, from the usual December 31st deadline to February 28th. WIth this move, it's probably very likely that other shows like the Golden Globes will do the same thing.
