October 11, 2020 Here's the Scoop...The animated movie Soul, with a voice cast led by Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, is set to premiere on Disney+ on Dec. 25, the streaming service announced Thursday.Foxx plays Joe Gardner, an aspiring jazz musician and middle school band teacher whose soul is separated from his body right before his big break. Joe receives help from a fellow soul named 22, voiced by Tina Fey, as he desperately attempts to return to his body. The voice cast also includes Questlove, Daveed Diggs and Phylicia Rashad. Pete Docter and Kemp Powers directed the film. Soul was initially set to open in theaters in June, but that date was postponed until November because of the coronavirus pandemic. News that the film would bypass a theatrical release in favor of a streaming debut was announced after several other movies' releases -- including No Time to Die, West Side Story and Dune -- were delayed until next year. It also comes after CineWorld said it would close indefinitely hundreds of cinemas in Britain and United States due to a lack of new content from studios that might lure moviegoers back to theaters.

Jerry Seinfeld says pandemic is like planet 'getting detention'Jerry Seinfeld discussed performing stand-up comedy, his new book and the COVID-19 pandemic while appearing on The Late Show.The comedian, on Tuesday, explained to host Stephen Colbert how the pandemic is a unique experience that won't be understandable to those who haven't lived through it, comparing it to how kids would ask their parents about World War II. "It's really like the whole planet getting detention. And when you get out of detention, you're really going to see things a little differently. Hopefully you're going to learn to appreciate a little better. That's what we have to do but we probably won't" Seinfeld said. Seinfeld has recently released a new book entitled Is This Anything? that features some of his favorite stand-up material and gives insights into writing stand-up comedy. "Is this anything is what you say before you try a bit out on another comedian. I've been saying that my whole life," Seinfeld said about the book's title. "This book is everything I've done with my life, that's my whole life in a book," he continued. Seinfeld, when asked if he still enjoys stand-up, compared himself to an old surfer. "I think I'm one of those surfers, you know those old guys that just still paddle out every day and nobody even knows they're doing it. But it's like they have to do it and it's just part of the day and part of the deal," he said. "That's why I do it. I really live off it. It's a beautiful, natural, energetic thing," Seinfeld continued. | ||||||||
