7Life/Latest Entertainment NewsEntertainment Editor Peter Ford on Liza Minnelli’s new doco, Robbie Williams’ hilarious Hugh Jackman tale, Taylor Swift’s ‘listening-only’ tickets, and Jude Law’s thoughts on filming a 'The Holiday' sequel!
We've been given our very first look at Liza Manelli's highly anticipated, mostly by Peter Ford documentary.
No one's more excited about Thish Plaho.
Well, we have spoken about it a few times because it has been on the festival circuit, and now we've got a poster for what they are.
Promoting as a film.
They don't seem to want to promote it and call it a documentary. You can see that looking very kind of warhole nineteen sixties, seventies. Isn't it a truly terrific, absolutely true story. That's the sort of expression that Liza would use. So what we haven't had until today is a trailer for it. Now it is going to be getting a cinema release in the States. No word here whether art house cinemas here might pick it up, or whether it'll end up on a streaming service, But eventually you'll get to see it. So mixed messages for Liza herself. She certainly cooperated in the making of it, but since the premiere she seems to have backed away from it, and in fact, she says she's now writing her own memoir because she's not happy with documentaries that have been made about her.
I do.
Hope they go and explore is her more recent journey and her mobility issues, because that's been a massive thing for Liz.
She's always thought of herself first.
And foremost as being a dancer, and now suddenly she's in a wheelchair. That's a massive adjustment to have to make. So I hope the filmmakers are exploring that side of it if she's willing to do it.
Liza likes to kind.
Of sugarcoat everything and everything's wonderful, but maybe in this one she might open up.
You know what, Pete always when the person who is the subject of the documentary doesn't really like it and has some concerns.
Good, So let's you and I go because I know Larry's not interested. We'll go together.
We'll drop you, okay, and then to the library. Robbie Williams is shared a very funny moment with a nassy director.
Yeah, this is fun like the one that got away. So.
Michael Gracie is a very highly acclaimed Australian born movie director and he one of his big ones is the Greatest Showman with Hugh Jackman, and of course he's now promoting Better Man, which is the Robbie Williams lives. Most of it filmed right here, in fact, more or less just across the road from here at Channel seven in Melbourne. But on this appearance here Robbie talks about the day Michael Gracie rang him and said I need to ask a favor.
Can you come over? And Robbie got the wrong end of the stick. There you go. That was the one that got away.
Was that Donny Osmond sitting next to it?
Yeah? It was actually good spotting, Larry.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty good at this thing. Nineteen thirties. I'm good at that.
I'm a little bit country. Here's a little bit rock and roll.
Yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's very good. Swifties bracing for the last leg of the Era's tour, right, some cheap tickets.
Yeah, very cheap tickets. I imagine they're probably already gone. So I'm almost reluctant to talk about it. But we are coming to the end of the tour, the Eras Tour. It's been going forever. It's made so much money no one can count it anymore. And the final shows are in Vancouver next week. And they've actually released a whole bunch of tickets for fifteen Canadian dollars sixteen dollars Australian.
Now I've got to tell.
You, and these aren't side view seats. We've all accepted that at one point or another. These are behind the stage, so you can see that the blue there is actually behind the stage. But Swift is just to be in the same room on this momentous occasion, the last show that she's going to do.
Yeah, you're part of it.
And if I put a few little Samsung monitors up there or something, so yeah, I.
Got a lot of Black Friday sales off teen. Just soak up the atmosphere because then she'll do a big goodbye and that's what everyone will want to seat.
Yeah, but even when she does a big goodbye, she's not coming around behind the back of the stage cars. She might though not coming around to the sixteen dollars seats. You wouldn't even go around to the sixteen dollars seeds. Jude Law has sent fans of the holiday in little bit of a spiral.
Yes, because a lot of sequels brewing at the moment, and a sequel to the holiday has been wanted by fans for a long time. Haven't they so Jude Law. We certainly open to it. It sounds still a bit of a vague idea. That's as good as a year. It's a goer, I reckon.
I'd love to see a sequel. Oh yeah, we could do it.
On the way to Lisa, Thanks Peter, thank you.
Bye.
