Christian Bale and Margot Robbie will be starring in an upcoming movie from five-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker David O. Russell and now 12 exciting stars have joined the cast as well.

This will be Russell‘s first movie since his 2015 film Joy, which earned Jennifer Lawrence an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. He is also known for his movies Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and The Fighter.

Not much is known yet about the upcoming movie, except for its star-studded cast. Deadline reports that the film is “based on an original idea” from the filmmaker and production has already began in California.

Christian Bale is hard at work on his new movie!

The 46-year-old actor made his his way out of the makeup trailer sporting black eye makeup while on set of his new movie on Tuesday afternoon (January 12) in Los Angeles.

Christian was seen in costume wearing white boxer shorts paired with a pink dress shirt while staying safe in an N-95 face mask.

Also seen on set with Christian were his co-stars Zoe Saldana and John David Washington, who showed off his buff muscles while changing into a suit.

It was first announced early last year that Christian would be starring in the movie directed by David O. Russell.

THR reports that the “plot details are being kept under wraps for the film,” however, Russell will write and direct the new project from an original idea.

The movie also stars this two-time Oscar nominee!

John David Washington is addressing some backlash.

The 36-year-old actor stars opposite 24-year-old Zendaya, who plays his girlfriend in the upcoming Sam Levinson relationship drama Malcolm & Marie, which resulted in some criticism upon the debut of the trailer.

John reacted to the criticism during an interview with Variety.

“I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman. People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is. She has far more experience than I do in the industry. I’ve only been in it for seven years. She’s been in it longer, so I’m learning from her. I’m the rookie,” he said.

“I was leaning on her for a lot. Some of the stories she’s shared about what she’s had to go through with Twitter and everything. I appreciated her wisdom and discernment when it comes to this business. I admire that. What I’m really excited for people to see when the film is released – they’re going to see how mature she is in this role, We’re talking about versatility, and Sam and Zendaya brought both.”

The two co-stars could make Oscars history in more than one way with their performance.

Zendaya and John David Washington are making headlines for their upcoming film, Malcolm & Marie, which is being eyed for award season in 2021.

The two stars are also being touted for accolades of their own from the movie, including for the Oscars.

Variety is also saying that if Malcolm & Marie is nominated, both stars would make history in more ways than one. Here’s how:

For John David, should Malcolm & Marie be nominated alongside Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom for Best Picture, that would make him and his father, Denzel Washington, the first father-son pairing nominated ever, as both of them are also producers on their movies.

For Zendaya, as a producer as well, she would be the second Black woman to be nominated in the category and also be the most nominated Black woman in a single year in history if she also gets a Best Actress nom, tying Mary J. Blige.

The list goes on for Zendaya, including that she would be the youngest female producing nominee in the category’s history; and if nominated for both picture and actress, she would be the first woman to be nominated for acting and producing.

Zendaya could potentially also be the first actress since Helen Mirren to win an Emmy and an Oscar in the same year.

She picked up the Emmy in fall 2020 for her role as Rue in Euphoria. But here’s why she’s not halfway to EGOT status just yet…

Watch the first trailer for Malcolm & Marie here, and tune in for the movie, debuting on February 5 on Netflix.

The first trailer for Zendaya and John David Washington‘s upcoming two-person film Malcolm & Marie, which they shot at the beginning of the pandemic, has been released.

The movie was written and directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and it was made in secret during June and July 2020. All proper protocols were followed to keep everyone safe during the pandemic and the cast only features the two stars!

Zendaya recently chatted about how they were able to accomplish the feat at a time when most film and TV shoots were still shut down.

Malcolm & Marie follows a filmmaker (Washington) and his girlfriend (Zendaya) who return home following a celebratory movie premiere as he awaits what’s sure to be imminent critical and financial success. The evening suddenly takes a turn as revelations about their relationships begin to surface, testing the strength of their love.

The movie will be released on Netflix on February 5.

There’s one month left until the release of Zendaya‘s new Netflix movie Malcolm & Marie and she’s opening up about how the film was made in secret at the beginning of the pandemic.

The film was announced publicly in July 2020 after being filmed from June 17 to July 2.

Malcolm & Marie is a two-person film that takes place in one location. The movie follows a filmmaker (John David Washington) and his girlfriend (Zendaya) as they return home from his movie premiere and wait for the reviews to come in. Smoldering tensions and painful revelations push them toward a romantic reckoning.

Sam Levinson, the creator of Zendaya‘s HBO series Euphoria, wrote and directed the movie.

“We got this idea that we could do a movie in quarantine safely with a very small number of people,” Zendaya told Elle about the film. “We used some crew members from Euphoria who obviously didn’t have a job because filming had stopped. I was fascinated with this idea of shooting a film with just two characters. It was like a play. It was challenging for all of us, because it was shot in just one space. Being quarantined together was great in some ways, because it allowed us to workshop and really dig into the material while we were there.”

On Pharrell‘s new podcast, she added, “We made a bubble. We all quarantined and stayed in this very small area in the middle of nowhere. We shot in this house… we weren’t allowed to leave or go anywhere.”

“I’m doing my own hair and makeup in the bathroom and brought a lot of my clothes to help with set [decoration],” Zendaya said (via Page Six).

She also added that there was no assistant director on the project, “so we’re figuring out continuity and stuff like that on our own.”

Zendaya is being considered a Best Actress frontrunner for the upcoming Oscars! The movie is being released on Netflix on February 5.

The movie Tenet, which was expected to be one of summer 2020′s biggest blockbusters, is finally available to watch at home following a disappointing theatrical run.

Warner Bros. released the movie in theaters in September when it seemed like COVID-19 cases were finally going down in the U.S., but the cases later started to surge again and it seems audiences were not ready to go back to the movies.

Tenet grossed just $57.8 million domestically, though its worldwide total was $361.4 million.

You can now purchase a digital copy of the movie for $19.99 on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, or wherever else movies are sold. Rentals of the movie will not be available until January 5.

The Blu-ray version of the movie, which also comes with a DVD copy and a digital code, is available on Amazon for $24.96.
