As the COVID-19 virus spreads the globe and wreaks havoc with the touring calendar, Australia’s live entertainment industry has called on government to set aside necessary funds if concerts and festivals are scrapped.

The federal government has promised a A$10 billion economic stimulus as part of its response to the impact of the disease, which has infected more than 100 Australians, with three reported deaths.

As Australia shifts gears for the colder, quieter months in the touring cycle, the live market here has been largely cushioned from the cancelations and postponements that market the concerts space across Asia, Europe and North America.

Peter Dinklage’s Singing ‘Cyrano,’ ‘The Godfather’ 50th Anniversary & Oscar Shorts Enter Parched Market For New Releases – Specialty Preview

Joe Wright’s Cyrano twirls onto 797 screens, the highest-profile specialty release in weeks (as the market awaits Focus Features The Outfit with Mark Rylance and Sony Pictures Classics Mothering Sunday). But the well reviewed period musical romance from UAR starring Peter Dinklage is landing in a tough place. Industry estimates anticipate a low single digit opening given the inconsistent reception for movie musicals and the fact that its key older demos, especially women, have been the slowest to return to theaters.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Power of the Dog role 'took a lot of patience' from his family

He also practiced whistling, which Phil uses to intimidate Rose."That took a long time and a lot of patience from the people around me, particularly my family," Cumberbatch confessed to USA Today.He shares three "exceptionally beautiful, extraordinary" children Kit, 6, Hal, 4, and Finn, 3, with his theatre director wife Sophie Hunter.But they weren't the only commitments he made to the film.He and his co-star Kirsten Dunst, both spoke out about avoiding each other on-set of the Western.It was an incredibly dedicated tactic in order to portray their characters to the best of their ability.And the hostility between the two on-screen could definitely be felt, as the actors ignored each other the entire time, even when they had finished filming for the day.In an interview with Radio Times, Dunst explained: "I isolated myself from Benedict."We didn’t talk at all during the filming unless we were out to dinner on a weekend, all together, or playing with our kids."She added of his impeccable manners: "He’s so sweet."And he’s so British!"Polite British, you know? I was like, ‘I can’t talk to you!'"
