Image Source: Warner BrosHard to believe it’s been 40 years since The Goonies first hit the big screen. Four decades since Mikey, Chunk, Mouth, Data, and Brand took off on that wild adventure—calling out, “Hey you guys!” like it was a battle cry.More than just a movie, The Goonies was a moment—a messy, thrilling, deeply loyal story about friendship and the kind of treasure you don’t always find on a map.To honor its 40th anniversary, we’ve put together a short video that revisits the chaos, the charm, and a few gems you might not know about.Come take the trip again—watch the video below.The Goonies is available on on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, digital platforms, and streaming now on Max.The post ‘Hey You Guys!’ Revisiting The Goonies ’40 Years Later appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Image Source: Sony PicturesThere was a time—before smartphones, before streaming—when teenage life played out on TV like someone had found your journal and turned it into a script. If you remember that era, you probably remember Dawson’s Creek.The show debuted in 1998, right in the heart of The WB’s golden era, and stayed with us until 2003. But it wasn’t just something to watch—it became part of our growing up. Created by Kevin Williamson (yep, the one behind Scream), it introduced us to characters who felt honest and imperfect, figuring out love, friendship, and everything in between.We met Dawson, the wide-eyed dreamer. Joey, the girl next door. And of course, Pacey and Jen, each one carrying their own weight of longing and possibility. They were played by James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and Michelle Williams—faces we’ve since seen grow into something more, on screen and off.What made Dawson’s Creek stick wasn’t just its drama. It was how it paused for quiet moments: two people on a dock, an awkward conversation by a locker, the way feelings built up but never fit neatly into words.And now, more than twenty years later, it still resonates. People are still finding it—on DVDs, on streaming, in snippets online. At GalaxyCon Oklahoma City 2025, James Van Der Beek looked back on those years, reflecting not just on the show’s success but on the ways it changed him.Maybe that’s the real legacy of The Creek. Not that it captured a generation—but that it still feels like it could be yours.

His new movie, The Phoenician Scheme, is no different. One of the film’s stars, Michael Cera, said when he read the script, he didn’t know how they’d be able to shoot on practical sets, and he was amazed when he saw the sets they’d be filming on.

Bono in “Bono: Stories of Surrender,” now streaming on Apple TV+ Photo Credit: Apple TV+Bono: Stories of Surrender is a filmed version of the U2 frontman’s one-man stage show, in which he tells stories about his life, his lyrics, and more. Of course, U2 is a bit of an anomaly – the band has remained intact with its original four members for nearly five decades. And, obviously, the quartet has conquered the music world several times over, reaching heights that many bands aspire to, but very few achieve. Not bad for a little group that Bono put together in high school. Though, back then, he never thought the world would ever hear of U2… because he originally had a different name in mind for the group.

Wilson/Getty Images for Sony Pictures)For more than four decades, the first Karate Kid film has enchanted moviegoers. It starred Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso, a humble boy who learns martial arts from the late, legendary, Oscar-nominated Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi. 15 years ago, the franchise saw a beloved reboot, starring the legendary Jackie Chan. Now, over a decade later, we’ve entered a new chapter in the Karate Kid saga with the recently released film in the series, Karate Kid: Legends.This recent film expertly reintroduces these cherished characters, with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio reprising their renowned roles to the pleasure of Karate Kid fans.These titans of the Karate Kid universe clearly left Director Jonathan Entwistle in awe, and he’s left us with a pretty clear picture of the legendary presence they brought to the film’s production. And, of course, that wasn’t all they brought.

Get ready for a serious lineup! Eddington features an absolutely stacked cast, bringing together some of the most compelling talents working today. They include Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, and Clifton Collins Jr. Joining this powerhouse ensemble are Austin Butler and Emma Stone.Taking place in the stormy May of 2020, a small town in New Mexico sets the scene for a tense standoff that quickly escalates into a full-blown conflict between a sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) who works for the people and a mayor (Pedro Pascal) who has gone rogue. What began as a local dispute soon intensifies into a neighbor-vs-neighbor contest, seemingly destined to draw even more people into the fray. This appears to mirror the current situation in America on a number of fronts—troubled, divided, but without any clear leaders.This first-look gives a deeper view into the extraordinary world that Aster has crafted. It powerfully showcases the dramatic range of his powerhouse cast. If you have any curiosity at all about Aster’s next move after Hereditary and Midsommar, consider this an invitation to look closer.Eddington arrives in theaters on July 18th.The post Take A First Look At The Powerhouse Cast Of ‘Eddington’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

(Photo by Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images for Sony Pictures)The buildup has been electrifying for what’s being termed a hair-raising new installment from master horror auteurs. So, if you missed it, a few days back, the stars and behind-the-scenes talent of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland‘s 28 Years Later congregated for its World Premiere in London! The resulting event photos are truly something to behold, featuring some of the most photogenic actors in the biz, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer leading the way.LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 16: (L to R) Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes attend the 28 YEARS LATER Photocall on June 16, 2025 in London, England.

Whitby/Getty Images for Sony Pictures)For anyone who recalls the stunning influence of 28 Days Later, which historically captured a deserted London, the premise of 28 Years Later revisits a world still forever marked by the terror of the rage virus. However, it envisions that world almost three decades post-virus, hinting at evolved horrors and new challenges. A draconian quarantine might still be in place, but it suggests that a handful of surviving humans has been eking out a life beyond the quarantine, establishing a rough-and-tumble semblance of civility.LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 16: Ralph Fiennes attends the 28 YEARS LATER Photocall on June 16, 2025 in London, England. The film will be released only in cinemas from 19th June 2025. (Photo by Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images for Sony Pictures)The official word suggests a fresh plot development in this devastated world. The tale, we’re told, centers on a band of survivors eking out a living on a tiny island. Their only tie to the mainland is a fortified causeway guarded by men, stretching straight across the water. But when one of their number dares to venture into the darkness of the mainland, we’re set to discover right along with her the dark secrets and twisted horrors that have transformed not just the infected but also the surviving human population.LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 16: Danny Boyle attends the 28 YEARS LATER Photocall on June 16, 2025 in London, England.

Whitby/Getty Images for Sony Pictures)The Academy Award winning director behind Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, and the Academy Award nominated writer of Ex Machina and Annihilation, Alex Garland, are creative forces to reckon with. They are both eminently capable of eliciting true, visceral audience reactions. When you juxtapose the kind of storytelling that provokes real thought and instills a deep sense of unease, it’s a mix that promises something truly potent and thrilling. All signs point to their joint collaboration on this ambitious project amounting to a resurgence for the horror genre.With the premiere now in the books and the energy palpable, the countdown is on!28 Years Later is locked and loaded to unleash its terror on audiences this Friday.The post Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Jodie Comer Light Up the ’28 Years Later’ World Premiere appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Image Source: LionsgateGerard Butler is a titan of the action genre, with a global fan base that cannot get enough of his films, whether they are new releases or not-so-distant memories that can now be streamed in comfort. With a resumé unequaled in action cinema, Butler can be counted on to deliver fresh thrills on an almost annual basis—if not more often—and to give the unsuspecting a new jolt of adrenaline, not always with respect to the laws of nature but always with respect to the laws of entertainment. One prime example is Plane, the 2023 action film that one can then stream with ease.In Plane, Butler plays a pilot who must crash-land his commercial plane in a war zone during a fierce storm. It is a high-stakes job, and he performs it with his signature intensity.Butler revealed that he embraced the character, spending a great deal of time in flight simulators to fully understand what it might be like to be a man trapped in such an extraordinary scenario.

All Rights Reserved.For over two decades, Lilo & Stitch has occupied a charming spot within pop culture, capturing audiences with its emotional heft and starry cast. Among those characters, Stitch stands out — an iconic figure seemingly custom-built to serve as Disney’s Gen Z mascot. But could the tuneful, tropical tale of sisterhood and, uh, ‘intergalactic domesticity’ really work in a live-action setting?The latest movie has taken the world by storm, ruling the box office and showing once more how profoundly audiences relate to Stitch.Dean Fleischer Camp, who directed this latest chapter, says the reason is simple: Stitch is something real in all of us.

Photo Credit: FX NetworksIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, premiering July 9th. And if you can’t catch it live, don’t sweat it – you can stream all the glorious chaos the very next day on Hulu.Now, we all know The Gang from Paddy’s Pub – Dennis, Mac, Charlie, Dee, and Frank – have been chasing money and undeserved social perks since 2005. That’s a given. But let’s be honest, beneath their thinly veiled avarice and self-interest, they’re… well, they’re human beings. Kind of.This season promises to remind us that even sociopathic narcissists have needs! Beyond the cash, The Gang yearns for things like genuine (but conditional) love, a healthy dose of unearned respect, a peculiar brand of freedom, constant and utterly unhinged adulation, histrionic levels of attention, non-stop gratification, and, of course, all the unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism they can possibly get their hands on. Expect their pursuit of these “human” desires to lead to the usual blend of schemes, disasters, and hilariously awful outcomes.Need a taste of the madness to come?

Image Source: Walt DisneyTom Hanks was already an established star when he agreed to take place in a grand experiment: a new movie, completely produced on computers, that would mark the beginning of the partnership between Disney and an upstart animation company, Pixar. Of course, both the film and the partnership proved to be extremely successful: The Toy Story franchise has spawned four movies, with a fifth on the way next year, while Disney and Pixar have now made 28 movies together (the 29th, Elio, will be released this on Friday). This year marks the 15th anniversary of the release of Toy Story 3; by that time, it had already been nearly 15 years since the first. Hanks at the time of Toy Story 3’s release talked about what it meant to him to have, at the time, an entire generation of fans who had grown up with Toy Story.

Sirens. Julianne Moore in episode 102 of Sirens. Cr. Macall Polay/Netflix © 2025A couple of sisters spending a weekend at a rich couple’s island estate? What could possibly go wrong? Well, there are plenty of interesting escapades awaiting the characters on Sirens, the new Netflix streaming series. And many of them sprung from the mind of the show’s creator, Molly Metzler Smith. Julianne Moore, who stars as half of the aforementioned wealthy couple, says the show wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining as it is without Metzler Smith’s writing sensibilities.

Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in 20th Century Studios’ SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. Photo courtesy of 20th Century Studios. © 2025 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved.Ever wonder what goes on inside a legend’s mind when they’re about to explode onto the world stage? Well, get ready to find out. A brand-new film, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, is hitting theaters this fall, promising an unfiltered, almost raw, look at the birth of Bruce Springsteen’s haunting 1982 album, Nebraska. This isn’t just another acoustic record; it’s considered a pivotal, enduring masterpiece, a real left turn in his career.Picture this: Springsteen was right on the cusp of becoming a global phenomenon. Yet, instead of chasing stadium anthems, he retreated. This movie takes us back to that quiet storm, a period where he wrestled with the immense pressures of success and faced down some deeply personal ghosts. And the album? Nebraska was famously recorded with just a four-track machine, right there in his New Jersey bedroom. It’s an album full of lost souls, whispered confessions, all searching for a glimmer of hope. This film seems poised to dig deep, not just into the songs, but into why they had to be made in that raw, intimate way.Director Scott Cooper (who also wrote the script, pulling from Warren Zanes’ book Deliver Me from Nowhere) describes the process as “deeply moving.” He felt it was a true privilege, a journey through “memory, myth, and truth,” to step inside the mind of an artist he’s admired for so long. When a director says a project profoundly altered him, you know you’re in for something special that resonates far beyond music.Jeremy Allen White takes on the monumental task of playing Bruce Springsteen himself in the biopic, affectionately known as “BOSS.”Curious for a sneak peek into this compelling story? You’ve got to see the trailer:Mark your calendars!

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT — “Auditions” Episode 2004 — Pictured: Astrid Jorgensen — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC)Tuesday night on America’s Got Talent Season 20 was a real blast. It was packed with all sorts of acts, including some based on AI that had judges and audience members alike scratching their heads in amazement. The fourth round of auditions led up to a “Golden Buzzer” moment that left a certain Englishman from the ’70s with egg on his face. (We don’t need to name names, do we?)In the current season, the format remains customary: an act goes through on three “yes” votes from the judges. But the big game-changer this time around is the newly coveted Golden Buzzer, a ticket straight to the live shows that any judge or host Terry Crews can award for a truly exceptional performance.So far, we’ve seen some big moments: Simon hit the buzzer for immersive artists Light Wire in Episode 1, and Howie Mandel backed musician Jourdan Blue. Episode 2 saw Mel B ninja-bop Sofia Vergara to the punch for the Messoudi Brothers, and Mel B doubled down in Episode 3, giving her second Golden Buzzer to vocalist Charity Lockhart. The pressure was on for Auditions 4!The Funkateers Bring the Funk (and a Golden Buzzer!)The show kicked off with a bang when the high-energy dance crew The Funkateers from Detroit lit up the stage. Their infectious routine had the judges grooving, albeit a little awkwardly—Sofia Vergara declared it “perfect”; Howie Mandel was marvelling at their youthful spirit. But it was Terry Crews who was upstaging the moment, leaping to hit his Golden Buzzer, much to Simon Cowell’s chagrin! Simon confessed he was “literally about to do that” himself, and he praised their “surprising” and “amazing” audition.The Feline Factor: Annoying or Awesome?This episode had a surprising amount of cat-themed content, which proved divisive, especially for Mel B!First up was Moshow, a Cat Rapper from Baltimore. While Sofia and Simon found his act charming enough for a “yes,” Mel B hit her red X, famously declaring, “Clearly, I am the only sane one on this table.” Howie agreed, noting that while it wasn’t “terrible,” it simply wasn’t enough for Season 20.Later, the Loco Pop Familia, a Cat Dance Crew, hit the stage. Howie, Sofia, and Simon were on board, loving their outfits and dancing. But Mel B remained unmoved by the feline aesthetic, calling the whole thing “annoying” despite admitting they could dance. Simon, however, was a big fan, calling it “genius” and “one of my favorite dance acts this year.” Clearly, you either love the cats or you don’t!A Mix of Magic, Music, and Mayhem!Beyond the cat capers, Auditions 4 delivered a diverse range of acts:Chase Varnes, a musician from Canada, showed promise but had a rocky start with Simon not loving his first song. A second attempt secured him three “yes” votes, though Mel B felt he wasn’t “quite there yet.”Duo Soma, a balancing and danger act from Argentina, showcased incredible trust and skill, earning three “yes” votes despite Mel B wanting “more drama.”Wes-P, a variety act from Japan, brought his unique brand of bizarre entertainment, with Howie and Simon seeing potential, but Mel B and Sofia hitting their red Xs for what Sofia called “unnecessary talents.”Jonglissimo, a juggling act from Austria and Germany, wowed all four judges with their smart, unique, and beautiful light show, earning a unanimous “yes”!Mama Duke, a musician/rapper from Austin, Texas, brought down the house with her confident swagger and sharp writing, getting a resounding “yes” from all the judges. Mel B declared her song “already a hit!”Astrid Jorgensen, a choir conductor from Australia, put together a delightful audience sing-along. But Mel B and Sofia questioned whether the moment had any chance of viability for the rest of the competition.A musician from South Carolina, Steve Ray Ladson delivered what Sofia called her “number one music act of the whole season,” and all judges agreed: his song was a “100 percent hit!”Lastly, Mastermind ended the show with some tremendous A.I. Magic. This act is so unique it had the judges at a loss for words, with Simon calling it ‘the best magic we’ve seen.” It was spectacular and interactive and earned a ‘yes’ from all of the judges!The post Golden Buzzers & Big Moments Heat Up ‘AGT’ Season 20’s Auditions appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
David Bromstad shows Jon and Deb Hansen around a potential property as seen on My Lottery Dream Home Photo by: Bob Croslin & HGTVPrepare for a calendar event, housing enthusiasts! HGTV is rolling out a very fresh and primal property prime time this summer, capped off with a pair of new series episodes that put the wild in Zillow Gone Wild. Placed at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Friday, July 18, both episodes promise incredible sights with lots of the unexpected. Don’t think you’re going to get a cavalcade of run-of-the-mill houses. Expect everything from homes that could star in a horror movie to places you’d love to get lost in.First up, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, everyone’s favorite design guru, David Bromstad, returns to assist fortunate lottery winners in transforming their newfound affluence into fabulous residences on My Lottery Dream Home. David travels across the country, from the sunny shores of Florida to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and even to Arizona and New Jersey, to find homes that check every single box on his clients’ ultimate wish lists. No matter how grand or specific their aspirations, David is on a mission to deliver not just luxury, but a transformation of their wildest home dreams into reality.In the season premiere, we’re introduced to a Boston couple who’ve beaten the odds not once but twice! After winning $1 million in 2006, they snagged an even bigger prize: a colossal $25 million from a $50 scratch ticket 17 years later. With this windfall, they plan to do something that would make any parent proud: buy homes for their adult children. David will help these lucky soon-to-be homeowners find the perfect family pad in Atlanta, Georgia.At 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, get ready for your mind to be blown with the return of Zillow Gone Wild. The show is back, inspired by the massively popular Instagram account. Comedian and actor Jack McBrayer is once again here to guide us through the internet’s most bizarre and fantastical property listings.Jack isn’t just observing images; he’s immersing himself in the narrative of these unconventional abodes, engaging with the remarkable individuals who inhabit them, and revealing the extraordinary histories and ludicrous architectures that make each property utterly nonpareil. From off-the-chart decor to domiciles that seem to have sprung from the pages of a fairy tale, each episode ranks the properties on their “wildness,” anointing one as the king (or queen) of crazy houses.This season guarantees even greater riches and finds that are downright eccentric, including an entire old western town, purchased by an intrepid family in Colorado, and, yes, a real-life Lego castle, right in Orlando, Florida!The season opens with a madcap dash around the country, starting in York, Pennsylvania, to investigate a house that’s a giant shoe. From there, Jack goes to Taos, New Mexico, to talk with the folks who live in an eco-house made of—believe it or not—bottles, tires, and cans. Then (as if that weren’t enough), he treks to Ridgefield, Connecticut, to tour a gothic mansion with secret passageways, a famous composer as its owner, and walls that are literally made of patent leather.The post ‘My Lottery Dream Home’ & ‘Zillow Gone Wild’ Premiere July 18 On HGTV appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Image Source: Warner BrosA career of diversifying complexity is what Jon Hamm has got going. Yes, many still look at him and see the iconic, Emmy-winning television role of Don Draper on Mad Men. But Hamm has never been a one-lane actor. On the small screen, post-Draper, he’s done nothing but vault surprising leaps in different directions between TV hits like The Morning Show and the upcoming Your Friends & Neighbors. To see him on the big screen is to see him go in all sorts of different ways in all sorts of different kinds of movies. One moment, he’s in an action-jammed blockbuster like Top Gun: Maverick; the next, he’s layered narratively — and almost scored like a piece of music — in Bad Times at the El Royale.In The Town (2010), Jon Hamm did not stand out by overshadowing the story but, rather, by becoming part of it. He played FBI agent Adam Frawley with restrained determination—sharp, no-nonsense, and always just a few steps behind the thieves he’s chasing. The film, directed by Affleck, who also acts in it, thrives on quiet tension. Hamm’s role is a big part of its focused, human vibe, and he never plays it too big.The Town tracks a close-knitted team of Boston bank robbers and struck a rare balance—being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. It grossed $154 million worldwide and holds a solid 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with its streaming discovery bringing it a whole new audience.FBI Agent Adam Frawley was precise, restrained, and realistic, thanks to Jon Hamm’s performance. The actor trained with actual FBI agents and learned how to handle firearms in a credible, not flashy, way. Hamm carries off this part with the ease of someone who understands that what the Frawleys of this world do is serious business.

CBS’s hit series didn’t just end with a few loose threads; it tied us into a full-blown knot of cliffhangers, especially for the supporting cast at Jacobson Moore.As reported by TVLine.com, the Season 1 finale plunged us deeper into the mystery of the stolen Welbrexa study. We’re left wondering about Olympia’s next move after her shocking discovery and Julian’s confession, revealing he acted under Senior’s orders to swipe the damning research Matty, Edwin, and Alfie had been chasing all season. And just when you thought it couldn’t get more personal, Matty and viewers were blindsided by a man who believes he’s Alfie’s father!But the drama doesn’t stop there as we head into Season 2! Billy was left absolutely stunned by Claudia’s sudden pregnancy announcement. Meanwhile, Sarah remains oblivious that her workplace rival, Simone, is quietly digging into how Sarah landed her first client, a move showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman confirms was a “fireable offense.”Speaking with TVLine on the red carpet, David Del Rio (Billy) shared the wild coincidence of learning his character would become a dad while he and his real-life wife Katherine were expecting their second child. He noted it’ll be a “two thunderstorms colliding” scenario for Billy as he navigates fatherhood in the demanding legal world. Leah Lewis (Sarah) affirmed that Simone is “going to make so much trouble” for Sarah, forcing her to “fight tooth and nail” and bring out a new intensity. Both actors lauded Andrea Londo (Simone) for the spice and humor she brings to the role.Catch the TV Line full interview with David Del Rio and Leah Lewis in the video below to hear more about the twists heading into Season 2!If you missed any episodes or want to check out one of the best new shows from last season, all episodes are streaming on Paramount+.This story is based on an interview originally published by TVLine.com*.

Photo Cr: Pari Dukovic/Paramount+ TM & © 2025 CBS Studios Inc. All Rights Reserved.For anyone who’s been following Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, there’s a bit of news that’s kind of exciting and kind of a punch to the gut at the same time. Paramount+ just came out and said that the show’s getting picked up for what’s gonna be its fifth—and yeah, final—season. It’s not gonna be a long one either, just six episodes. That last stretch of filming is supposed to kick off sometime later this year, by the way.But before we embark on that final voyage, there’s plenty of adventure ahead! The highly anticipated third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is beaming down with a two-episode premiere on Thursday, July 17 on Paramount+ in the U.S. Following its launch, new episodes will warp onto the platform weekly on Thursdays, culminating in the season finale on Thursday, September 11. For those keeping track, the series’ fourth season is already deep into production.Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has kind of done what few shows actually manage to pull off—it’s kept both fans and critics pretty happy, which is no small thing. The first two seasons even got that “Certified Fresh” stamp from Rotten Tomatoes, which, yeah, says a lot. And it’s not just that people are into it—like, folks handing out trophies have clearly been paying attention too. In 2023, it got itself a pretty decent bit of attention with a Best Drama Series nomination at the Critics Choice Awards—which, for a sci-fi show, is actually kind of a big swing. Then if you roll things back to 2022, it straight-up won Best Science Fiction Television Series at the Saturn Awards. So yeah, this show hasn’t exactly been flying under the radar—folks have definitely been noticing.Executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman expressed their gratitude, stating, “From the very beginning, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds set out to honor what Star Trek has always stood for – boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible.” They are “deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew.” And to the devoted fans, they offered a heartfelt “THANK YOU” for boldly joining them on this journey. With three more spectacular seasons (including the upcoming third and the already-in-production fourth) yet to unfold, this adventure is truly “far from over.”The post ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ending With Season 5 appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Photo Credit: Warner BrosIf you’ve ever seen the 2016 buddy action/comedy masterpiece, The Nice Guys, you’re probably already nodding along. Starring the incredibly attractive duo of Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, Shane Black—the undisputed king of the genre—delivered what many of us consider his most purely enjoyable film. Set in the gritty, groovy ’70s, it’s a detective mystery that’s equal parts humorous hijinks and riveting plot twists. So why, after years of passionate fan demand, are we still waiting for a sequel?As SlashFilm.com recently reported in an insightful piece diving into Shane Black’s latest updates, the path to The Nice Guys 2 is less a breezy car chase and more a tangled bureaucratic nightmare.The core issue? Money, of course.Black himself, in a featurette from the movie’s new 4K release, laid out the harsh realities. He highlights that despite the undeniable love for the original film, its box office performance wasn’t exactly a runaway success (famously, it was “trounced” by The Angry Birds Movie – a cinematic fate no cult classic deserves!). This creates a thorny “rights situation” involving multiple producers and distributors. Joel Silver is a producer, Warner Bros. is the distributor, and Ken Kao is a producer on an overseas company.Imagine the pitch meeting: “We’ve got a fantastic script, we’ve got Ryan and Russell ready to bring their magic back, but… it’s going to be very expensive.” And then the studio asks the inevitable, budget-minded question: “But how did the first one do?” That’s the kicker. Even with studio leadership that might personally love the project, the ultimate decision-makers higher up the chain demand strict financial justification, especially when a previous film underperformed.Black did tease potential ideas for a sequel, which only makes us ache more for it. He envisioned the characters, Holland March and Jackson Healy, as being so compelling that the specific “caper” almost didn’t matter. One tantalizing notion was for the duo to head down to Mexico, offering a fresh, south-of-the-border setting for their shenanigans. The good news? Black still “look[s] forward to one day writing that with Anthony [Bagarozzi].”So, while the studio calculus is grim – “They can’t just make a decision because they like something. It’s about keeping their jobs,” Black concluded – there’s a flicker of hope. If, like us, you’ve spent years quoting this film and introducing it to friends, perhaps continued vocal support is the only currency left to show Hollywood that The Nice Guys 2 isn’t just a pipe dream, but a necessity.If you haven’t seen the film or want to revisit this hilarious gem, it’s available on DVD/Blu-ray/digital platforms and is currently streaming on Paramount+.This article draws insights from a recent interview with Shane Black, as reported by SlashFilm.com.

Photo Credit: Universal Pictures Copyright © 2025 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.The summer box office is heating up, and this week’s numbers tell a fascinating tale of familiar favorites and intriguing newcomers. Let’s dive into the top contenders battling it out for cinema supremacy!Opening at number one, the live-action adaptation of the immensely popular animated classic How to Train Your Dragon had a monster weekend, raking in a dazzling $83 million. The film’s production may have gone live, but the wow factor clearly carried over from the animated world. This inspirational tale blew away expectations (and some box office analyst minds), launching itself with an audacious $197.8 million total globally. Audiences, it seems, still find enchantment with dragons and their human companions. And that’s got us pondering: how could a sequel not be a no-brainer?Another live-action version, Lilo & Stitch, is holding strong in the number two position. Still popular in its fourth week, this touching movie attracts crowds and added another $15.5 million to its already remarkable total. It’s sitting rather comfortably domestically at $366 million, but globally it’s approaching an amazing $858 million. Well on its way to being the year’s first billion-dollar release, this little blue alien has apparently found a permanent home in our hearts and at the box office.Making a notable entrance at number three is Materialists, a more adult-oriented offering from A24. This one defied some expectations, pulling in a solid $12 million in its opening weekend. It seems there’s an appetite for grown-up stories amidst the summer blockbusters, and with a talented director at the helm, this film could find its niche as compelling counter-programming.Rounding out the top five, the familiar action franchise Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning claimed the fourth spot with $10.3 million in its fourth weekend. Although still making respectable numbers and a worldwide total of $506 million, its huge budget means it’s struggling to break even during its theatrical run. In the world of high-budget filmmaking, the stakes are always great even for well-known franchises, serving as a reminder.Finally, landing in fifth place is Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off that earned $9.4 million in its second weekend. Though its worldwide revenue is at $91.5 million, the sharp fall from its premiere could raise some questions about the appeal of the series without its recognizable lead. It draws attention to the fragile equilibrium of expanding beloved cinematic universes.The post From Dragons To Drama: A Weekend Of Box Office Surprises appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Their lives take an unexpected turn when they’re suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland fueled by imagination.To find their way home, they’ll have to master this strange new world (and protect it from classic threats like Piglins and Zombies!). Their magical quest leads them to an unexpected expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, this unlikely team’s adventure will challenge them to be bold, embrace their unique creative skills, and discover the very qualities they need to thrive back in the real world.Mark your calendars!

JAKE GYLLENHAAL stars in ROADHOUSE Photo: LAURA RADFORD © AMAZON CONTENT SERVICES LLCSo yeah, big movie news just landed — and it’s coming from Charles Roven, the guy who’s been behind some seriously huge stuff. We’re talking about the Dark Knight trilogy, Oppenheimer (yeah, that one that grabbed the Oscar), Wonder Woman, and American Hustle, just to name a few. Anyway, he’s back at it, and his next move? Road House 2. Yep, that’s the update — and it’s kinda wild, honestly.Roven, who was recently honored at the Taormina Film Festival, spoke to Deadline and confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel to the recent hit Road House is slated to begin production this September. He specifically stated the sequel“should be starting in September.”That’s right — looks like Jake Gyllenhaal’s stepping back into the chaos, and this time, Guy Ritchie’s officially calling the shots. Kinda wild, huh? The first one got so much buzz; people were seriously into those heavy-hitting fights and that gritty, almost sweaty kind of energy. Hearing that a sequel’s already moving forward this fast? Yeah, it’s a pretty solid reason to get hyped if that’s your thing.Beyond the confirmed start for Road House 2, Roven‘s producing slate also includes Chris Pratt-starrer Mercy, which is due in January 2026 via MGM.With a resume like Charles Roven‘s, any project he takes on is worth watching, but this early production start for Road House 2 with Gyllenhaal and Ritchie is definitely making waves.The post Producer Charles Roven Confirms ‘Road House 2’ Starts Filming This September appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. David Letterman in My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2024Good news, folks David Letterman‘s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction isn’t just sticking around, it’s getting not one but two more seasons. Netflix just made it official. That means Season 6 is rolling out later this year, and Season 7’s already being lined up right after. Kinda feels like a small win for anyone who misses that mix of laid-back chats and Letterman’s dry, slightly awkward charm that somehow always lands just right.After wrapping up his ridiculous 33-year streak in late night — which, yeah, still feels like a whole era in itself — Letterman stepped back into the spotlight with this slower, more thoughtful kind of show. The vibe’s different, but in a way that works. It’s still very him, just with more space to actually talk. He ends up face-to-face with people who are, let’s be real, some of the most interesting humans around. And the convos?

Since then, it has attracted still more fans among the streaming audience. Its star-studded cast and blockbuster premise have made it a go-to recommendation for anyone looking for an entertaining movie night.What made this film a runaway hit? Imagine this: A reclusive romance novelist (Sandra Bullock) who prefers her fantasy adventures to real-life ones. She finds herself thrust into a real-life, cutthroat jungle escapade all while she’s on a book tour with her ridiculously handsome—and equally bewildered—cover model (Channing Tatum). Who, by the way, gets into some truly hilarious action moments. The whole thing is one big, sometimes zany, and occasionally touching, action comedy that works on many levels.The cast had an undeniable chemistry, and if the perfect script comes along, there’s been some very excited buzz about a potential sequel. Channing Tatum was in total awe of Sandra Bullock, not only for how she absolutely shone as the hilarious star but also for her incredible producer prowess that seemed to elevate the entire project to a whole new level.

Las Vegas, NV Ð March 31, 2025 – Ralph Macchio, from Karate Kid: Legends, at CinemaCon 2025 for Sony Pictures at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on March 31, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Eric Charbonneau/Sony Pictures via Getty Images)When the original Karate Kid movie was released in 1984, there wasn’t a single studio talking about any kind of movie “universe.” Little did Ralph Macchio and others involved in the film realize that, someday, The Karate Kid would get its own universe, with remakes, reboots, and, of course, five seasons of a spin-off TV series, Cobra Kai. Now, the different versions in the Karate Kid universe are coming together in a new film, Karate Kid: Legends. With Macchio and Jackie Chan starring in the film, it does mix mythologies from the original movie and the remake, which Macchio thinks will intrigue and entertain fans of the franchise.

(from left) Night Fury dragon, Toothless, and Hiccup (Mason Thames) in Universal Pictures’ live-action How to Train Your Dragon, written and directed by Dean DeBlois. Photo Credit: Universal Pictures Copyright © 2025 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.The dragons are back—literally. Dean DeBlois has circled back to How to Train Your Dragon, but this time he’s swapped out the animation for flesh, bone, fire, and fur. The new live-action version, feels like a return trip to somewhere familiar but also a little different—like coming home and realizing someone redid the furniture, but it still smells the same.Now, folks were kind of split on whether this redo was even needed, and honestly, that’s fair. But here’s the thing: it actually sort of works. It keeps the soul of the original story more or less intact, but throws in this raw, physical look that kind of makes you squint and go, “Okay, maybe this isn’t just a cash grab.” You’ve still got Hiccup—played now by Mason Thames—being that awkward, brainy outsider in a world where strength means everything. Gerard Butler shows up again as Stoick, which, weirdly, kind of glues the whole thing together. And then there’s Nico Parker, who kind of leans into Astrid’s tougher edges while still making her feel like someone you’d want on your side in a dragon chase.Now, one of the biggest “oh wow” moments? John Powell’s music. The guy’s back at it, and the score just sort of lifts everything. Like, it hits that perfect mix of heart-tugging and chest-thumping that made the original trilogy feel bigger than life. Even if you’re not the type to notice background music, you’re probably still gonna feel this one.Visually, it’s honestly pretty wild. The dragon flying scenes? People are already talking about how nuts they look in IMAX. Toothless, somehow, still feels like Toothless, even with his new real-world makeover—his skin has this strange mix of alien smoothness and warm, creature-y charm. You can practically feel the wind when he flies.That said, the pacing at the beginning? Kind of slow. Like, you’ll probably catch yourself checking your popcorn bucket a few times. And yeah, some of those battle scenes? Maybe they go on a bit. But nothing here feels broken. It’s more like a slightly overstuffed plate than anything truly messy.So is this remake totally necessary? Eh, not really. But is it a decent way to spend a couple hours? Absolutely. Especially if you’re into that mix of big feelings, sky-high visuals, and that whole “boy meets dragon, everything changes” kind of magic.The post ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Remake Brings Dragons To Life in Stunning Detail appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Image Source: Universal Pictures Home EntertainmentWhen it was released in 2020, writer/director Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man was greeted with almost universal acclaim. In fact, a couple of years later, Rotten Tomatoes named the film one of the 10 best horror films in Hollywood history! Fans and critics were both impressed with the way the original Invisible Man story had not only been updated for a new era, but also given new layers of emotional complexity by having the story told primarily through the eyes of a female protagonist, played by Elisabeth Moss. As he was writing and making the movie, Whannell told us, once he hit upon the theme he was looking for, Moss became an invaluable part of the process.

Photo Credit: Warner BrosBack in January 2023, DC Studios co-head James Gunn sent waves through the fandom with the announcement of a massive Phase 1 slate of movies and shows for the revitalized DC universe, cleverly titled Gods and Monsters. One notable absence from that initial lineup? The Justice League.But fear not, DC faithful! In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly for their upcoming Superman cover story, Gunn himself addressed the potential for a larger superhero team-up, confirming that the idea is definitely on his radar.“Of course, of course,” Gunn told EW. “But there is no Justice League in this world…not yet.” When playfully pressed if these Justice League plans tie into his overarching vision for “Gods and Monsters,” Gunn simply teased, “Sure.”While a full-fledged Justice League might not be immediate, the world of Gunn’s Superman is far from devoid of heroes. We’ll meet the fascinating Justice Gang, a trio of super-powered individuals working with Maxwell Lord (played by Sean Gunn) and his tech company, LordTech. This squad features Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced), a winged warrior wielding a mace of incredible power; Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), a Green Lantern sporting a jaw-dropping bowl cut; and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), whose brilliant mind has created T-spheres, high-tech orbs that do an unbelievable number of things.Gunn makes it clear that the Justice Gang is different from the traditional Justice League in a specific way: unlike the League, which is made up of characters who are often seen as “good” and even “sainthood”-level, the Gang is almost like superheroes with human flaws. He implies that this allows for a more nuanced portrayal, where characters like Green Lantern or the Flash could be explored with their imperfections, moving beyond traditionally idealized versions.EW also caught up with David Corenswet, the man tasked with bringing a new vision of the Man of Steel to the big screen. When asked about Gunn’s Justice League teases, Corenswet responded with understandable enthusiasm: “I mean, that sounds awesome. I don’t take it upon myself to think ahead in that kind of way, just because one would hate to get one’s hopes up about anything in particular and then have it go in another direction. What I like to do is stay blissfully ignorant, and then when James tells me what’s going to happen, I get to have a wonderful surprise. So if Justice League is in the back of his mind, that sounds great to me. I’ll put it at the back of my mind and we’ll see what happens.”As anticipation builds for Superman, set to soar into theaters on July 11, we learn more about the world Gunn is building. This version occurs in a universe where super-powered “metahumans” have been around for a long and serious 300 years. Corenswet’s Clark Kent/Kal-El has been about three months into a relationship with Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), who is fully and completely aware of his Kryptonian origins. Concurrently, the sinister Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is up to no-good machinations and is more determined than ever to eliminate the alien powerhouse.Gunn emphasized his focus on Superman’s core values, stating, “I wanted to tell the story about someone who was truly good in a world that doesn’t value goodness, in a world that makes fun of basic kindness and basic human values. The fact that he can fly and lift buildings and shoot laser beams out of his eyes was really secondary to who he was as a person and what he stood for.”Adding to the excitement, Gunn teased that the events of Superman, along with Peacemaker season 2 (premiering this fall on HBO Max), will be “both pretty important in terms of getting to the bigger story.” He also confirmed the presence of a post-credits scene for Superman and even hinted at a potential follow-up film, clarifying, “Is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily.”It looks like James Gunn has a grand vision for the DC universe, and while the Justice League might not be forming just yet, the pieces are clearly being put into place for a thrilling future!Superman opens in theaters July 11.The post ‘Superman’, ‘Justice League, & DC’s Next Chapter With James Gunn appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
AMERICA’S GOT TALENT — “Auditions” Episode 2003 — Pictured: Urban Theory — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC)Things are officially heating up at America’s Got Talent! Auditions Night 3 brought out a truly unforgettable mix of the best, the strangest, and definitely some of the most controversial acts we’ve seen yet. Plus, a little behind-the-scenes peek showed us just how real things get!Host Terry Crews revealed that for this 20th season, AGT is embracing a “less polished, but more real” vibe, with tons of behind-the-scenes moments. He likened it to seeing the cooks in a great restaurant – you appreciate the meal more when you see what goes into it. This means even technical mishaps, like a friendly humanoid robot named Pepper overheating and sadly missing her audition, are part of the journey.But for the acts who did make it to the stage, it was a day of incredible highs, surprising lows, and pure talent! In case you missed any of the jaw-dropping moments, here’s a recap of the episode:Julia & Dmytro Turkeev: Wet & Wild Aerial Dance! This real-life married couple pushed aerial artistry to breathtaking new levels by adding water! Soaking wet, they flew through the air in incredible poses, barely holding on by ankle straps. Howie Mandel raved, “We see so many aerial acts, but when you add water to it…that was amazing.” All four judges praised their blend of danger, spectacle, and beauty, sending them straight through!Osaka Philharmonic: The Nipple Harmonica Orchestra! Just arriving on a flight from Japan, this young Philharmonic announced their serious intent: make it past auditions or break up as a matter of honor. Then, they proceeded to play Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” on harmonicas… each held in their mouth at a specific note, while a conductor used a dry ice baton to prompt them by touching their nipples! Yes, really. It was utterly absurd but hilariously brilliant, even getting an X from Mel B. before Simon Cowell volunteered for his own nipple-icing, securing their spot!Charity Lockhart: Mel B.’s Golden Buzzer! Charity’s journey was already heartfelt – a single mother who, after divorce, lived in her car until a singing competition win changed her life. Clearly nervous, she began “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” only for Simon to stop her. He asked for another song, and her choice of “Golden Slumbers” by The Beatles proved apt, earning not just applause from the audience and judges, but a Golden Buzzer from Mel B.!Urban Theory: Synced Illusions & a Judge Flip! This 24-person Italian dance troupe wowed with synchronized movements creating incredible illusions. But for Season 20, the judges have seen a lot. Specifically, they’ve already seen Murmuration, another synchronized movement dance Act from Season 18. While Sofía Vergara and Simon loved them, Howie and Mel B. felt it wasn’t quite new enough. After some persuasive begging from Simon, Howie flipped his “no” to a “yes,” sending the talented group to the next round!Boston Dynamics: The Dancing Robots! Things got futuristic when Boston Dynamics brought their four-legged, dog-like robots to dance and lip-sync (sort of) to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” One robot hilariously stopped working almost immediately. Simon noted, “It was weirdly better that one of them died,” as it proved how hard working robots truly are, impressing Howie with something totally new and different.Cyril: The Dazzling (But Long) Magician! Magician Cyril used shadows and incredible sleight-of-hand for dazzling tricks. But it took a bit too long for Simon and Mel B., who both hit the X. Even Sofía was close to sending him home. However, Mel B.’s daughter in the audience was cheering for Cyril, and in a sweet moment, Mel B. gave him the yes to make her daughter happy, sending him through!Leo High School Choir: South Side Passion! 22 high school boys from Chicago’s South Side stomp-clapped their way straight into America’s hearts! Led by their choir director LaDonna Hill, and supported by their school principal who sat in the audience, the passionate group of amateur singers performed “Born For This” by The Score with such raw energy that Mel B. even thought it was an original song. They proved you don’t need anything fancy for a show-stopping performance.Auditions continue to bring the heat, the humor, and the incredible talent!America’s Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.The post ‘AGT’ Auditions Night 3 Brings Talent, Laughs & Golden Moments appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

The Fantastic Four: The First Steps Copyright © 2025 20th Century Studios / © and 2025 MARVEL.The MCU is gearing up for a pivotal new chapter, and leading the charge into Phase Six is Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to introduce Marvel’s iconic First Family. With a stellar cast including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, anticipation is sky-high. Last September, Collider (and other media outlets) got an exclusive look behind the scenes and, crucially, a deep dive into the film’s vision straight from the producers.According to veteran franchise producers Grant Curtis (who worked on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy) and Tim Lewis (co-producer on the Harry Potter films), one theme was hammered home repeatedly from day one on set: this movie is about family.“It’s all about family,” Curtis reiterated to Collider. He stressed that this isn’t just a surface-level theme, but the very core of the film’s DNA. He explained that if audiences don’t genuinely connect with the Fantastic Four as a family unit – including the complexities and romance of Reed and Sue’s marriage – then the grander threats, even one as massive as Galactus, won’t land. The dedication to this theme extends to every aspect, from the Baxter Building’s design (inspired by cozy mid-Century California family homes) to the characters’ individual journeys.Another key insight from the producers is the intentional choice of a retrofuturistic 1960s setting. Curtis highlighted that this period isn’t just for style; it harks back to when Marvel Comics was on the brink of bankruptcy, and the Fantastic Four’s concept of a superhero family saved Jack Kirby and Stan Lee’s business.“Setting a whole movie with the 1960s aesthetic, we thought it was a new really cool canvas,” Curtis told Collider, emphasizing the era’s optimism and unique vibe. Lewis added that this period setting makes First Steps feel like “a different world in terms of Marvel” within the wider MCU.This commitment to authenticity extends beyond aesthetics. Producers stressed the importance of rooting the “fantastic” elements in reality. Costume Supervisor Dan Grace noted director Matt Shakman’s insistence that everything be based on something real and physical, particularly for characters like Ben Grimm (The Thing), whose practical design ensures a “deeply human and practical” feel.Producer Grant Curtis drew direct parallels between First Steps and his experience working on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. He noted that both Shakman and Raimi share a philosophy of “always going back to the source material” because “there’s a reason this IP has been popular for 60 years.” This reverence for the comics and a focus on pure entertainment, as Curtis noted, is a shared trait he sees between Raimi and even Kevin Feige.Interestingly, Curtis and Lewis also shared that Fantastic Four: First Steps will hold a unique position within the MCU. Since it’s set in the 1960s, it won’t be heavily constrained by the current MCU timeline, offering a “massively freeing” experience for viewers. “You can just drop into this universe,” Curtis explained, though he quickly added that devoted MCU fans will still find “smiles on their faces” with various Easter eggs.Finally, the producers didn’t shy away from hyping the film’s main antagonist, Galactus, promising an “epic” villain of “universal stakes.” Curtis emphasized their reverence for Galactus’s legendary status and his connection to the beginning of Marvel Comics.Ultimately, producers Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis understand the immense pressure on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Not just because it’s kicking off a new MCU phase, but because of the deep meaning these characters hold for fans. Curtis summed it up perfectly:“Fantastic Four is that IP that’s never been in the MCU Mount Rushmore, and it should be. We want to put it up there because what Jack and Stan did 60-plus years ago is super cool**.”The Fantastic Four: First Steps releases in theaters on July 25.The post ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ – A Retro Family Adventure in the MCU appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Image Source: 20th Century StudiosDirector Len Wiseman is certainly no stranger to high-stakes action, having thrilled audiences with his Underworld films and even stepping into the director’s seat for the fourth entry in Bruce Willis’ legendary John McClane saga, Live Free or Die Hard. But it’s the Die Hard film that almost was, the enigmatic Die Hard 6, that truly could have captured the imagination of fans.For years, whispers of a sixth installment lingered, a project that, at one point, seemed destined to give John McClane one final, epic outing. While it’s not definitively confirmed that Wiseman would have helmed it, he did share storyboards hinting at his involvement when the movie was still in its early development stages, as he revealed to IndieWire. And the rumored plotlines? They were wildly good!One speculated storyline would have seen our grizzled hero, McClane, wounded during a pursuit. From a hospital bed, he would reportedly flash back to a pivotal moment in his past – specifically, being shot on the job way back in 1979 – as he worked to solve the riddle of who was responsible. Another intriguing concept would have brought McClane back to the place it all began: Nakatomi Plaza. This version would have seen him commemorating the 30th anniversary of the original Die Hard events, only for his past to inevitably catch up with him once more. Part of this ambitious take was even said to be based on the novel Old Habits by Ben Trebilcook, promising a deeper dive into McClane’s complicated history.It’s a bittersweet reality that we won’t get to see Bruce Willis yell “Yippee Ki-yay” as John McClane on the big screen again. In our minds, Bruce Willis IS Die Hard. His portrayal is so utterly iconic, so ingrained in pop culture, that the thought of anyone else stepping into those shoes just doesn’t feel right. We truly hope the studio lets that legendary franchise rest, preserving the incredible legacy he built.However, Disney, now holding the keys to the Die Hard kingdom after their acquisition of 20th Century Fox, isn’t known for letting a franchises sit dormant for too long without attempting to find new ways to capitalize on it. While a direct recasting of John McClane for a new movie seems highly improbable (and, frankly, would be met with significant backlash from fans), there’s still a lingering possibility. The idea of them attempting to head back into the past, developing a project around a “rookie McClane” – exploring his early days before Nakatomi Plaza – has been floated. For many fans, this would still feel like an unnecessary dilution of a perfect legacy.For those wanting to revisit Wiseman’s pulse-pounding take on the series, Live Free or Die Hard is available on DVD, Blu-ray, digital platforms, and streaming on Hulu!Today, Len Wiseman continues his work in the world of high-octane action, with his latest film, Ballerina, now playing in theaters.The post Len Wiseman’s ‘Die Hard’ 6 Vision: What Could Have Been appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

ALL IMAGES ARE PROPERTY OF SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT INCThe Karate Kid franchise has been throwing punches and teaching life lessons for over four incredible decades! From the iconic original films to the 2010 reboot featuring J*ackie Chan* and Jaden Smith, and of course, the smash-hit series Cobra Kai that reignited our love for the original characters and storylines, this saga just keeps evolving.

(L-R) Stitch and Maia Kealoha as Lilo in Disney’s live-action LILO & STITCH. Photo courtesy of Disney. © 2025 Disney Enterprises Inc. All Rights Reserved.The summer box office continues its wild ride, and this weekend saw a familiar animated face hold tight to the top, while a much-anticipated new contender tried to dance its way into the hearts (and wallets) of moviegoers. Let’s break down the top films that kept the popcorn popping and the numbers rolling!Disney’s Lilo & Stitch is truly in a league of its own, refusing to be dethroned! For the third consecutive weekend, our favorite Hawaiian duo (and alien!) absolutely dominated, pulling in an impressive estimated $32.5 million. This live-action charmer has now soared past a staggering $335.8 million domestically and a massive $772 million globally. Get ready for a happy hula dance, because it’s practically guaranteed to be the first billion-dollar movie of the year! Aloha, big bucks!Hoping to twirl into the top spot, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina debuted at #2, bringing in a respectable $25 million. Starring the formidable Ana de Armas as a dancer-turned-assassin, the R-rated film opened a little shy of some projections, especially given its $90 million production budget. While it earned good audience scores (an “A-” CinemaScore) and decent reviews, it seems even the promise of the John Wick universe (and a cameo from Keanu Reeves!) wasn’t quite enough to get all “Wick-heads” off the couch in big numbers. Lionsgate is banking on this being just the first of many spinoffs, so time will tell if this new chapter can truly find its footing without the main man leading the charge.Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning continues its globe-trotting mission at #3 in its third week, adding another $15 million to its impressive tally. The film has pulled in $149 million in North America and an impressive $450 million worldwide. That’s a big win for a 29-year-old franchise. But with a staggering $400 million budget, the real question is whether it’ll break even before leaving theaters. One thing’s clear though—Tom Cruise is still an unstoppable force!Meanwhile, the sixth installment in the beloved Karate Kid saga, Karate Kid: Legends, fought its way to #4 in its second weekend, bringing in $8.7 million. After a $21 million debut, this is a bit of a tumble, but the film starring Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio has now grossed $35 million domestically and $74 million globally. For a $45 million budget, it’s holding its own, but it hasn’t quite delivered the knockout punch that some previous Karate Kid movies have at the box office.Rounding out the top 5 is the ever-resilient Final Destination: Bloodlines, which defied gravity (and box office drops!) once again, pulling in $6.4 million in its fourth week. This sixth installment in the horror series, where death finds increasingly creative ways to claim its victims, is proving to be a massive hit! With $123 million domestically and $257 million worldwide on a $50 million budget, it’s officially the highest-grossing film in the entire Final Destination series. You can bet the studio is already planning more gruesome “accidents” for the future!The post Hula, Hits & High Stakes: This Weekend’s Box Office Winners appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
DESTINATION X — Season: 1 — Pictured: Jeffery Dean Morgan — (Photo by: Danny Ventrella/NBC)Known for his intensity and commanding presence, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a performer who leaves a lasting impression. Often regarded as one of Hollywood’s underrated gems, he has left a mark with his roles in series like The Walking Dead as well as movies such as Watchmen, and has demonstrated his ability beyond these recognizable characters.With gut-wrenching twists, like his memorable appearance on Grey’s Anatomy as a heart transplant patient who fell in love with a doctor, he has demonstrated his command of drama. This plot continues to be among the most emotional and sob-worthy arcs of the series. And who could forget his endearing, funny, and firmly ingrained performance as a private investigator and love interest for Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) in the Emmy-winning last season of The Good Wife? His portrayal made him feel like he’d been a part of the series its entire run. Morgan just has all the qualities of a true acting legend.So, when the news broke that he would be stepping into the host role for NBC’s new reality series, Destination X, many fans, including Morgan himself, probably thought, “Huh?”But Morgan isn’t just the host; he’s also an executive producer, bringing his signature charm and gravitas to every moment. This unique competition series follows a group of contestants embarking on a mysterious road trip. Aboard a blacked-out bus, they face thrilling challenges that offer tantalizing location clues while simultaneously being led astray. It transforms the entire journey into a high-stakes, real-life game of deduction as they race to pinpoint their destination.For Morgan, taking on the hosting gig was entirely new territory, and he admitted he was hesitant at first. However, with the encouragement of his wife, who has previous hosting experience, and the support of NBC, he decided to embrace the challenge. He spoke about wanting to push himself and explore something different.

Ana de Armas as Eve in Ballerina. Photo Credit: Larry D. Horricks Copyright © 2025 LionsgateAna de Armas may have played a CIA agent in the James Bond film No Time to Die, but that didn’t fully prepare her for the physicality of her role as a dancer and an assassin in the new John Wick spin-off, Ballerina. But when it came to training for the role, de Armas certainly wasn’t on her own. She spoke about her experience making Ballerina, and said the crew — especially the stunt team — worked with her for months to help her get ready for her fights and action sequences.

Ana de Armas as Eve in Ballerina. Photo Credit: Murray Close Copyright © 2025 LionsgateBallerina expands the John Wick universe with a sharper, more intimate edge. Ana de Armas steps in as a deadly assassin, not just skilled but deeply driven—her motive is revenge, plain and raw. Directed by Len Wiseman, the film sticks to the franchise’s signature blend of sleek violence and careful choreography, but there’s a new pulse here: a character whose pain fuels every move.Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, Ballerina follows Eve, played by Ana de Armas—a skilled assassin shaped by the brutal world of the Ruska Roma. After losing her family to violence, she’s not just surviving—she’s hunting. Her grief sharpens every move, every choice, as she pushes herself deeper into danger, chasing justice the only way she knows how.What gives Ballerina its heartbeat is the way Ana de Armas moves through it—not just with force, but with feeling. She doesn’t act tough; she carries it in her body. Every strike, every step feels clean and controlled, like it comes from something buried deep. She moves like she’s carrying something heavy—but you never see her stumble. Every motion speaks: not just anger, but loss, memory, restraint. Her silence isn’t empty—it’s full. The violence she delivers doesn’t explode; it unfolds, shaped with care. It’s rough, yes—but there’s elegance in how precise it all feels, like she’s threading pain through every blow. Every scene moves fast, but never feels rushed. It holds you there.While Ballerina delivers on the action front and is a worthy addition to the sprawling Wick lore, it occasionally struggles to reach the narrative heights of its mainline predecessors. The villain here may not leave the same mark as those in the main John Wick films—less layered, less unforgettable. But the world still pulls you in. That rich, shadowy underworld ruled by the High Table is as stylish and dangerous as ever. Some familiar faces are back—Winston, The Director, and yes, even John Wick makes an appearance. It’s a welcome reminder of where this whole journey started.Ultimately, Ballerina carves out its own bloody path. It’s a stylish, relentless, and often brutal ballet of vengeance that offers a fresh perspective within a beloved cinematic world. If you’re a fan of the John Wick franchise, or simply love a high-octane action thriller led by a captivating performance, then Ballerina is a film worth seeking out. Get ready for Eve’s dance of death.The post ‘John Wick ‘Universe Grows with Ana de Armas In ‘Ballerina’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

(Don’t just take our word for it — a 2022 Variety feature placed Bale firmly at the top of the list.) Many fans attribute Bale’s popularity to, well, the darkness of the Dark Knight Trilogy, as Nolan approached the character in a way much different than he’d previously appeared in a movie. At the time when The Dark Knight was released, Bale offered effusive praise to the way Nolan wrote for and directed the film’s characters.

Image Source: Universal Pictures Home EntertainmentIn 1976, Chevy Chase became the first Saturday Night Live regular to leave the show in search of greener pastures on the big screen. It turned out to be a good move for him, as he found immediate success with movies like Foul Play, Caddyshack, and the National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise. But Chase’s favorite character was the one that was first seen in theaters 40 years ago: Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher, the undercover reporter with a thing for danger (and the L.A. Lakers). A couple of decades ago, Chase called the Fletch character and movies his favorite and most successful role. When we spoke to him just prior to the opening of Fletch Lives, Chase told us why he had such a natural affinity for the part.

Image Source: AmazonWhile Total Recall was released in theaters 35 years ago, the Total Recall story goes back more than a decade and a half before that. By the time it was finally filmed, it had passed through three different producers: Ronald Shusett, Dino De Laurentiis, and finally Carolco Pictures. The movie’s eventual star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, first got involved with the film while it was under De Laurentiis’s control, but they couldn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, including the question of who would direct the film. Speaking at the time of the film’s release, Schwarzenegger told us that, initially, he felt there were only a few directors out there who could do justice to the story — and Paul Verhoeven wasn’t even in the discussion. But then, Schwarzenegger saw what Verhoeven was able to achieve with Robocop, and he was convinced they’d found the right man for the job.

A shift.Described as a funny, fantastic, and sweeping adventure, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey aims to clarify how Sarah and David became the people they are now.

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT — Pictured: “America’s Got Talent” Key Art — (Photo by: NBCUniversal)Another Tuesday, another two hours of incredible (and sometimes bewildering!) talent on America’s Got Talent Season 20. This second audition episode, which aired on June 3rd, brought us everything from high-flying acrobats and energetic dance crews to a surprising rock band from India.Just like we saw with Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer for Light Wire and Howie Mandel’s for Jourdan Blue in the first episode, the judges are still looking for that moment. Acts needed at least three “yes” votes to move forward, but the ultimate prize, of course, is that automatic ticket to the live shows: the Golden Buzzer!This week’s lineup gave us plenty to talk about:Tani from Japan kicked things off with some drone tricks that, frankly, left Mel B “angry” and wishing she could get those minutes back! Simon and Howie saw some potential, but Mel and Sofia hit the red X.We then heard from Citilimitz, a vocal band from Chattanooga, and got some exciting football target tricks from Amanda Badertscher. Both got four “yes” votes, proving they’re ones to watch!The Kid Clippers dance crew from L.A. absolutely blew everyone away with their moves, earning rave reviews from all four judges. And the TT Boys, an acrobatic duo from Ethiopia, delivered a “jaw-dropping” and “spectacular” performance that even had Simon calling it “f—ing incredible!”AMERICA’S GOT TALENT — “Auditions” Episode 2002 — Pictured: Austin Brown — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC)Austin Brown showcased a beautiful voice, though Howie and Simon felt it might not be “way more than just good” for Season 20. But he still got through thanks to Sofia and Mel!AMERICA’S GOT TALENT — “Auditions” Episode 2002 — Pictured: Cole Swensen — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC)Musician Cole Swensen brought his mom on stage, making his audition “way more interesting” and getting all four “yes” votes. Even scary clowns named Phobias managed to impress, despite Simon’s known hatred for them!But perhaps the biggest surprise was Girish and the Chronicles, a rock band all the way from Sikkim, India. They looked and sounded amazing, with Mel B even declaring them one of her favorite acts of the season.The biggest moment of the night, however, belonged to the Messoudi Brothers, a juggling danger duo. Their performance was truly “breathtaking” and incredibly dangerous. It was so impactful that Mel B slammed her hand down on the Golden Buzzer! But the drama didn’t end there: Sofia Vergara was not happy, exclaiming, “I was gonna do it! That was my Golden Buzzer… she did it out of nowhere. She took it away!” Looks like Mel B might have stolen Sofia’s moment!What a night!

Image Source: Universal Pictures Home EntertainmentAfter Back to the Future became a huge hit in 1985, its studio, Universal, did something that was very unusual at the time — it greenlit two sequels that would be shot back-to-back, allowing them to be released just six months apart. While the original film was particularly grueling for Michael J. Fox, who was shooting both Back to the Future and his TV series, Family Ties, simultaneously, the back-to-back sequels became a marathon for the entire cast and crew. Filming took nearly a year to complete; by the end of it, Thomas F. Wilson said, everybody was more than ready to go home. Speaking to us at the time of Back to the Future 3’s release, Wilson told us that, by the time shooting had wrapped, most of the cast members who’d finished their scenes had already left.

But, out of all of the film scores he’s done, one riff seems to stand out as his most iconic piece of work: the main title music from the original Star Wars.

ALL IMAGES ARE PROPERTY OF SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT INC.Here brings the unique concept of Richard McGuire’s graphic novel to the big screen, exploring how time unfolds within the confines of a single setting. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and featuring the talents of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, the film reunites the beloved Forrest Gump team. While aiming high with its storytelling ambitions, the movie doesn’t quite reach the heights it aspires to.The narrative traces the stories of different families and couples who have called the same house home over a span of a hundred years, capturing the novel’s enchanting premise. Despite the film’s visually stunning presentation, the storyline struggles to maintain cohesion and emotional depth.Tom Hanks and Robin Wright give commendable performances, but the development of their characters feels somewhat lacking, making it hard for viewers to fully invest in their journeys. The film’s exploration of profound themes like life, love, and loss often comes across as strained rather than naturally impactful.Though Here captivates with its imaginative concept and visual flair, the execution in terms of plot and character development leaves something to be desired. It might pique the interest of those who appreciate the graphic novel or enjoy avant-garde filmmaking, yet it may not leave a lasting mark on a wider audience.The post ‘Here’: A Faithful Yet Flawed Adaptation appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Image Source: AmazonWhen Law Abiding Citizen was released 15 years ago, it developed a devoted fan base, one big enough to have the studio still talking about the possibility of a sequel. In the film, though, Gerard Butler wasn’t your typical action hero — in fact, he wasn’t much of a hero at all. The film’s story revolves around his character’s elaborate acts of revenge when he felt like the justice system hadn’t done its job properly, and he took the law into his own hands. But Butler thinks that’s exactly what attracted people to his character and the film: He was a man willing to do literally anything to get justice for his murdered wife and child.

Photo credit: “Shutterstock.AI”In the year 1967, there was a group that outsold every other artist in the music business. It wasn’t The Beatles. It wasn’t The Beach Boys. It wasn’t The Rolling Stones. And it definitely wasn’t Gary Puckett & the Union Gap. No, it was The Monkees! Even though they had the derisive nickname of “The Prefab Four” — a reference to the group being assembled solely for the purposes of their TV show — their music was good, not to mention extremely popular.

Sadly, Micky Dolenz is the only remaining Monkee, but he is proudly carrying on the legacy. Speaking at a recent panel devoted to the group at Gallatin Comic Con, Dolenz talked about the immediate chemistry that he, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork had once they’d been selected for the group (Click on the media bar below to hear Micky Dolenz)https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Micky_Dolenz-_The-_Monkees_.mp3The post Once Micky Dolenz & The Other Monkees Met, They Were Believers appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Still, as with several underappreciated films from that era, home video and streaming have helped it resurface as a cult classic. Jennifer Connelly, who starred alongside Billy Campbell and Timothy Dalton, told us that when the film was first released, most of the special effects were practical effects something she had never seen before.

Image Source: 20th Century StudiosDespite a recent interview with 20th Century Studios head Steve Asbell leaving fans with more questions than answers, the possibility of another Die Hard film hasn’t been completely dismissed. When questioned by The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit about the future of the franchise, Asbell offered a cryptic “No, not yet,” a response that has reignited speculation among those who’ve followed John McClane’s explosive adventures.Since its debut in 1988, the Die Hard series, starring Bruce Willis as the unforgettable John McClane, has delivered four action-packed sequels. Sadly, Willis’s premature retirement, due to a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, seemingly brought the franchise to a halt. Before his departure from acting, however, whispers circulated about a potential Die Hard film that would bridge the past and present. Entertainment insider Daniel Richtman hinted at a prequel being in development. As CBR.com highlighted this ambitious project, which would have interwoven storylines featuring McClane in two distinct eras, was unfortunately shelved following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. With Willis stepping away from the screen, the chances of another sequel, or a film reminiscent of The Godfather Part II’s dual timeline, seemed to dwindle.Yet, Asbell’s ambiguous comments have rekindled a glimmer of hope. Could we witness a continuation, a reboot, or perhaps a spin-off? This begs the question: is it truly necessary? Willis was undeniably synonymous with Die Hard, and capturing his unique blend of grit and humor will be a formidable challenge. While franchises like Star Wars and the Rocky series, with its Creed spin-offs, have successfully expanded their universes, the results have been met with varying degrees of success.What are your thoughts? Do you believe a new Die Hard film can capture the magic of its predecessors without John McClane at its core? Or should the franchise be preserved as a beloved classic, its legacy left untouched? We’d love to hear your opinion!If you’re eager to relive those adventures while you ponder the future of the franchise, you can revisit the entire Die Hard collection on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, and digital platforms, or stream them on Hulu.The post Will ‘Die Hard’ Rise Again? appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Image Source: Warner BrosHave you ever discovered a long-lost treasure, a forgotten movie? Brainstorm, a science fiction film from 1983, is perfect for that. Often disregarded, it is full of inspiring concepts and eye-catching imagery.The movie follows a research team’s efforts to develop a novel technology—a system that records and replays an individual’s whole emotional and sensory experiences. Imagine using this gadget to relive the excitement of skydiving, the delight of a first love, or even a person’s last moments. However, as the group tests the limits, they find that it may be abused, especially for military objectives.With a cast boasting talents like Academy Award winners Cliff Robertson, Louise Fletcher, and Christopher Walken, Brainstorm also features the legendary Natalie Wood in her final role. Wood’s untimely death during filming necessitated changes to the ending.Douglas Trumbull, a master of visual effects renowned for his work on classic movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Blade Runner, directed this complex production. Brainstorm, which features breathtaking visuals that were ahead of their time, demonstrates Trumbull’s skill. The film offered sequences that transported audiences to amazing places, such as the heights of a rollercoaster or the excitement of a near-death encounter, even before IMAX was widely used.A captivating score by the late James Horner enhances the images and gives this cinematic experience more dimension.Beyond its captivating visuals and thought-provoking premise, Brainstorm also boasts some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories.Intriguing Facts about Brainstorm (Via IMDb) A Director’s Farewell: Due to the challenging production and disagreements with MGM, Douglas Trumbull opted to step away from directing Hollywood films after Brainstorm. * Technological Limitations: Trumbull initially envisioned filming in his own “Showscan” process, a high-frame-rate format designed to enhance the immersive experience. However, the cost of adapting theaters proved prohibitive. * Natalie Wood’s Legacy: The film serves as a poignant tribute to Natalie Wood, whose tragic passing during production led to a revised ending. * Studio Struggles: MGM nearly abandoned the film due to financial difficulties. It was ultimately saved and completed with funding from Lloyd’s of London.Re-evaluate the VerdictWhile Brainstorm* may have its flaws, it’s a film that deserves a second look. Its exploration of cutting-edge technology, the ethical dilemmas it poses, and the power of human experience make it a thought-provoking and visually stunning piece of science fiction.
Brainstorm is available on DVD/Blu-ray and digital platforms. Give it a watch and decide for yourself whether it’s a misunderstood masterpiece or a flawed but fascinating experiment.The post ‘Brainstorm’: A Forgotten Sci-Fi Gem, Or A Flawed Experiment? appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

DON’T MOVE. Finn Wittrock as Richard in Don’t Move. Cr. Vladislav Lepoev / Netflix © 2024.Don’t Move, the most recent thriller on Netflix, has a novel and terrifying premise that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The main character of the movie is Iris (Kelsey Asbille), a woman who is injected with a paralyzing substance by a malevolent stranger (Finn Wittrock), leaving her in a desperate struggle for existence.Asbille gives a riveting performance. She deftly captures Iris’s mounting anxiety and resolve as she fights the drug’s effects. Wittrock, who is renowned for his depictions of nuanced and unnerving characters, is perfectly cast as the menacing antagonist. Their connection produces a tangible tension that propels the story.Although the film’s main idea is unquestionably compelling, the plot occasionally deviates into well-known thriller territory. Certain scenes and plot developments evoke a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of common tropes seen in the genre. For seasoned thriller fans, this dependence on well-known components could take away from the overall novelty and sense of surprise.Don’t Move is a gripping and masterfully written thriller that features excellent performances from its leads in spite of these few flaws. Although not particularly deep, the film’s examination of issues like vulnerability and resilience gives the story a level of curiosity.Don’t Move is definitely something to think about if you’re looking for a gripping and captivating thriller with a novel idea. However, it might fall just a little short of expectations for those seeking a revolutionary or profoundly thought-provoking movie experience.The post Don’t Miss ‘Don’t Move’ On Netflix, But Manage Your Expectations appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Kathy Bates as “Madeline Matlock”. Photo: Sonja Flemming/CBS ©2024 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.Hey, if CBS can remake The Equalizer and recast the lead as a female, why not reboot Matlock with Kathy Bates as the title character? That’s exactly what they’ve done, with Bates taking on the role of lawyer “Matty Matlock,” who, like the original Andy Griffith character, has a knack for solving legal mysteries with flair and panache. Without giving too much of the premise away, however, there’s more to Bates’s character than meets the eye, and she’s putting on performances for everyone around her, whether it’s the partners she’s working with or the suspects and witnesses she’s grilling in her quest to solve the case. Cloaked in those performances is a lot of deception, and it would be difficult for a lot of actors to keep their stories straight. Bates, however, told us that, over the course of her 53-year screen career, she’s developed the necessary tools and feels right at home in all aspects of her character, both legal and personal.

Photo Credit: Paramount PicturesAfter their Comedy Central show South Park premiered in 1997, Trey Parker and Matt Stone became lightning rods for controversy. That extended to their other projects, too — especially Team America: World Police. That film, which was done using puppet animation, was released 20 years ago, in October 2004. A quick history lesson, for those of you who may not remember: By the fall of 2004, America had been fighting a war in Iraq for a year and a half, with no clear end in sight. So, yes, a film — even an animated film — portraying a secret American military force fighting around the world attracted its fair share of controversy. Of course, Parker and Stone took it all in stride. When the movie was released, they told us the real irony about the controversy is that the film was written and in production well before the war even started.

The curse’s chain of horror intensifies when Skye has a harrowing encounter with her therapist, making her the new target of the malevolent force. Naomi Scott shines as Skye, depicting her spiral into chaos as reality and nightmares collide.Under the direction of Parker Finn, the film unleashes a relentless series of scares that keep viewers on edge. From a pulse-pounding pursuit in a bustling concert venue to a chilling scene in a room of mirrors, the tension never lets up. The film transcends simple jump scares, diving deeply into the characters’ psychological struggles, addressing themes like guilt, trauma, and the fear of being consumed by one’s own darkness.While the “is-it-real-or-is-it-all-in-my-head?” trope might feel familiar to some horror enthusiasts, Smile 2 maintains suspense with unexpected twists and haunting visuals. The oppressive atmosphere, elevated by exceptional sound design and cinematography, lingers well beyond the film’s end.With compelling performances, unsettling imagery, and a strong psychological horror element, Smile 2 asserts itself as a noteworthy sequel. It builds upon the eerie world of the smile curse, leaving audiences with an enduring sense of discomfort and a new wariness of overly cheerful expressions.The post Trapped In A Nightmare: ‘Smile 2’ Delivers Chilling Thrills appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Jonno Davies and Robbie Williams as “Robbie Williams” in Better Man from Paramount Pictures.There have been plenty of interesting music-related biopics in recent years. Some aim for historical accuracy, while others, like the Elton John pic Rocketman, build a narrative by taking a few liberties with their subjects’ stories. A new biopic about internationally successful singer Robbie Williams finds an interesting way of straddling that line, turning its subject into an animated monkey. Michael Gracey is one of the driving forces behind the film — he co-wrote it, co-produced it, and directed it — and he gave us some insight into how the project got off the ground in the first place.

As her big screen output began to wane, Lansbury did a lot more theater work, and then started to consider television roles, appearing in several miniseries in the early ’80s. But 1984 brought her the opportunity to do something she’d never done before: take the lead role in a television series. And what a series that turned out to be! Murder, She Wrote ran for 12 seasons and more than 250 episodes, re-establishing Lansbury as a household name.

Photo Credit: Niko Tavernise opyright: © 2024 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.While Joker: Folie à Deux is a risk-taking movie, not all of its gambles pay off. Although the film is visually stunning and features powerful performances from Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, its unorthodox style might turn off many viewers.Despite their ambition, the musical pieces frequently come off as abrupt and inappropriate. The attempt to combine strange musical moments with brutal realism results in a tonal dissonance that can be distracting. Despite the obvious chemistry between Phoenix and Gaga, the portrayal of their characters’ descent into madness is more unsettling than engaging.The storyline itself is somewhat formulaic, relying heavily on well-known motifs from the Joker mythology. The movie attempts to explore the complexity of mental illness but ultimately presents a crude and even exploitative depiction of mental health issues.Joker: Folie à Deux has several strengths. The performances are strong, and the cinematography is breathtaking. However, the overall unevenness of the film’s execution leaves a persistent sense of unrealized potential. While it might appeal to those seeking a truly unique cinematic experience, many viewers are likely to feel let down and perhaps a little confused.The post Intriguing But Uneven: ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Fails To Fully Deliver appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Image Source: AmazonBarbra Streisand has been keeping a low profile lately — her last album was released in 2018, her last tour and concert special in 2017, and her last film appearance in 2012. (Her latest releases of any kind were her memoir, My Name is Barbra, which arrived in stores late last year, and a one-off single for the soundtrack of the TV show “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.”) But she’s currently working with director Frank Marshall on putting together a multi-part documentary series about her life and career. Of course, back in 1970, she attained EGOT status, having earned an Emmy for a concert special, numerous Grammy Awards for her music, an Oscar for her acting, and a Tony Award for “Star of the Decade” for her stage work in the ’60s. Over the course of her career, she’s had far more music releases than acting roles, but don’t let that fool you. Over the many years we have spoken with the legendary star and on one occasion she spoke about her storied career, she told us her acting aspirations came ahead of her singing stardom.

Image Source: Warner BrosIt was 30 years ago that Frank Darabont’s adaptation of a Stephen King story hit the big screen. Although The Shawshank Redemption was initially considered to be a box office bomb, earning just $16 million in its initial run, its seven Oscar nominations — including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay for Darabont, and Best Actor for Morgan Freeman — got it an awards season re-release, which eventually helped push it into profitability. Since then, it’s gone on to become an internationally known and loved story, one that’s been preserved for posterity by the Library of Congress in its National Film Registry. Critics were always kind to the film, giving high praise to the acting and the realism of the cinematography. Part of that was because the film was shot inside a real prison that had recently been shut down, and Freeman told us that when they were filming there, the spirit — and spirits — of the place had a pronounced effect on the cast and crew.

Hoover, a long-time admirer of Lively’s work, was thrilled.Hoover’s admiration for Lively stems from her early days on the iconic teen drama Gossip Girl, and has only grown stronger with each subsequent role. In Lively, Hoover saw not only an actress capable of capturing Lily’s essence, but also one who could infuse the character with a fresh perspective.

Image Source: AmazonMovie history is filled with films that initially bombed, only to be rediscovered and embraced years later. Some become “so bad they’re good” cult favorites, while others leave us wondering, “How did this ever get made?”The 1980 musical sci-fi film The Apple falls squarely into the latter category. Set in a “futuristic” 1994, the film follows two young musicians who sign with a sinister record label, Boogalow International Music. Themes of conformity vs. rebellion and biblical allegory (Adam and Eve, anyone?) abound.Produced by Cannon Films, known more for its over-the-top action flicks than thoughtful musicals, and directed by the flamboyant the late Menahem Golan, The Apple was a box office disaster upon release. Critics savaged it, with some calling it one of the worst movies ever made. It currently holds a dismal 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet, somehow, The Apple has garnered a cult following.Catherine Mary Stewart, the film’s star (and beloved 80s actress from Night of the Comet and The Last Starfighter) recently reflected on the film’s chaotic production and her own wild experiences during filming at the The Last Starfighter 40th Anniversary Panel at Retro Con 2024.

Image Source: Warner BrosAmerican politics has always been a fascinating subject for TV and film viewers, from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to All the President’s Men to Lincoln. And it was 25 years ago that The West Wing premiered on NBC, featuring creator/writer Aaron Sorkin’s highly stylized portrayal of the White House at work, with the focus originally not on the President himself, but on the staffers that keep the presidency functioning. (Originally, Martin Sheen’s character, President Josiah Bartlet, was meant to be a recurring character, but he proved to be so popular that the role was expanded to that of a series regular.) In any administration, the most important staffer is usually the Chief of Staff, who works directly with both the President and his top aides, making sure that policies and instructions are being followed correctly. It’s a crucial job, and on The West Wing, that role was filled by the late John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry. When Spencer was hired for the job, he once told us, Sorkin gave him a little bit of homework to help him understand the Chief of Staff’s function more clearly.

Halle Berry as Momma in Never Let Go. Photo Credit: Liane Hentscher/Lionsgate Copyright © 2024 LionsgateHalle Berry’s new film, Never Let Go, has her taking on the challenging role of a woman who has been off the grid and isolated from civilization with her twin sons for a decade. And, considering it’s also a horror movie, there was the additional challenge of figuring out how this woman would react when confronted with fear and stress. It’s something that Berry, who is also one of the film’s producers, spent a lot of time thinking about as she contemplated how to play the character. When she spoke to us about the film, Berry said she tried to consider the woman’s personality from many different angles, then did plenty of research to get it right.

FX’s THE OLD MAN — Pictured: John Lithgow as Harold Harper. CR: Kurt Iswarienko/FXLater this year John Lithgow will celebrate his 79th birthday, so there’s a certain sense of irony in the fact that he’s now starring on a show called The Old Man. (To add to the irony, he doesn’t play the “old man” referenced in the show’s title — that distinction belongs to Jeff Bridges.) On the show, Lithgow plays an FBI director with past ties to Bridges’s character as they play a cat-and-mouse game following a shooting. Lithgow is a big fan of the role, and he acknowledges it’s the kind of interesting role he may not have been able to get when he was younger.

It had all the ingredients of a blockbuster—intense action, a thought-provoking concept, and a charismatic lead.However, Gamer stumbled at the box office, failing to resonate with both critics and audiences.

Dave Bautista in THE KILLER’S GAME. Courtesy of Lionsgate.Given the Hollywood career trajectories of fellow former wrestlers like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, it’s not terribly surprising to see Dave Bautista making a comedy film, especially an action comedy like The Killer’s Game. What people do find surprising, though, is the presence of four-time Oscar nominee (and winner for Gandhi) Sir Ben Kingsley in an action comedy like The Killer’s Game. Bautista spoke about his unlikely co-star and the interesting vibe he brought to the set.

THE OLD MAN -Pictured: (l-r) Jeff Bridges as Dan Chase. CR: Bryan Cohen/FX.While Jeff Bridges has maintained an active movie career for the past five decades, his television career has been spotty at best — he’s only acted in two television projects, both of them made-for-TV films, in the last 40 years. So it was a bit of a surprise to learn he’d taken a starring role in The Old Man, which aired its first season two years ago and is now in its second season. Considering the fact that he’s only been making films for many, many years, we asked him whether he could apply that approach to shooting a series, or whether he was having to adjust to a different way of doing things. He admitted that the television style of shooting took some getting used to.

Paddy (James McAvoy) in Speak No Evil, directed by James Watkins. Photo Credit: Jay Maidment/Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Copyright © Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.Speak No Evil, directed by James Watkins, is a psychological thriller that cleverly reminds us how true horror can hide behind a smile. This American remake of a Danish film from 2022 might tread familiar ground, but it manages to craft its own eerie atmosphere and suspense.The story kicks off with an American couple and their daughter heading to a picturesque country home owned by a seemingly charming British family. As the weekend unfolds, the welcoming vibe starts to peel away, revealing a chilling layer of manipulation and menace. James McAvoy is spot-on as Paddy, the enigmatic host, whose friendly demeanor masks a darker side that keeps you guessing.Watkins does an excellent job of building tension, using the tranquil setting to create a false sense of security that gradually unravels. The pacing feels deliberate, letting the discomfort simmer until it reaches a climax that is both surprising and somehow inevitable, leaving its mark on viewers.Sure, Speak No Evil doesn’t exactly shake up the plot world, and if you’ve seen the original, there might be some predictable moments. But it still delivers a gripping experience by exploring social tensions and the fear of confrontation—how far we’ll go to keep the peace adds another layer to the story.In the end, Speak No Evil stands as a solid thriller that taps into our social anxieties. It may not be groundbreaking, and the slow-burn approach might not be for everyone, but it’s a stark reminder of the monsters we sometimes invite into our lives. Be ready for the lingering sense of unease it leaves in its wake.The post ‘Speak No Evil’ A Chilling Descent Into Social Anxiety appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Jonno Davies and Robbie Williams as “Robbie Williams” in Better Man from Paramount Pictures.If you don’t know the name Robbie Williams, you’ve probably heard his voice. He was part of British pop group Take That’s original lineup before embarking on a solo career in 1996. Between the group and his solo material, he’s been one of the UK’s most successful male artists of the past 30 years, selling more than 75 million records worldwide. His international fame is such that he’s getting his own big-screen biopic, Better Man. He’s even starring in the film — well, sort of. He’s provided his own voice for the movie’s Robbie Williams character, which will be seen on screen as a CGI-generated monkey. (Clearly, the biopic isn’t one that’s taking itself too seriously.) At the Toronto Film Festival, Williams spoke about why he’s grateful to have gotten the opportunity to make a movie like this.

Image Source: Paramount PicturesOne of Jim Carrey’s most memorable career moments was his outstanding performance in The Truman Show in 1998. The film follows Truman Burbank, an insurance salesman blissfully unaware that his entire life is the subject of a reality TV show. Everyone around him, including friends and family, is acting and participating in this elaborate setup. As Truman begins to notice oddities and anomalies, he embarks on a daring journey to uncover the truth and regain his freedom.Laura Linney’s portrayal of Truman’s wife, Meryl, is one of the film’s standout performances. Meryl is a clever and endearing nurse who deftly incorporates product placements into her daily routine. Thanks in large part to Peter Weir’s insightful direction, Linney brings nuance and complexity to Meryl, presenting her as a woman driven by ambition and financial aspirations within Truman’s manufactured world.

It’s time to take a second look at My Life, a film that starred Michael Keaton and a young Nicole Kidman and really deserves far more praise than it received.This poignant, emotional film explores love, grief, and the human spirit in a stunning way. We follow successful advertising executive Bob (Keaton), who receives the devastating news of a terminal illness. He struggles with the harsh realities of their circumstances with the support of his pregnant wife Gail (Kidman).Keaton portrays a man coming to terms with his mortality in a dramatic and unvarnished performance. His sensitivity and will to leave a lasting legacy for his unborn kid make it hard to be unmoved. In an earlier role, Kidman excels as the reassuring and resilient spouse, managing her own complicated feelings while tending to her spouse.In a race against time, Bob creates a series of video messages for his child. He talks about his life experiences, his knowledge, and his unfathomable love for his family. These intensely intimate moments highlight the strong link that exists between a father and his child even before they have met, and they are both devastating and inspirational.Yes, you will cry watching this movie. However, it’s a therapeutic kind of sob that serves as a reminder of how fleeting life is and how important it is to savor every second spent with the people we care about. It is evidence of the resiliency of the human spirit and the eternal power of love.My Life is an intense emotional rollercoaster, written and directed by Bruce Joel Rubin, the same creative force behind the critically acclaimed Ghost.

Photo credit: Paramount+Paramount+ has announced that the award-winning documentary We Will Dance Again a harrowing account of the October 7th Hamas terror attack on the Nova Music Festival, will premiere on September 24th.The film, which won two awards at Doc Edge in June, tells the stories of more than a dozen young festival-goers who found themselves in the midst of one of the deadliest terror attacks in Israel’s history. Their eyewitness accounts are interwoven with footage they filmed themselves and footage recovered from cameras worn by Hamas, creating a shocking and deeply moving portrait of survival and loss.Among those whose stories are featured in the documentary is American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

This film is a document of history, of one of the attacks that began on October 7th at 6:29 in the morning.”We Will Dance Again is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of terrorism and the resilience of the human spirit.

MICHAEL KEATON as Beetlejuice in Warner Bros. Pictures’ comedy, “BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. Photo Credit: Parisa Taghizadeh Copyright: © 2024 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.After what seems like ages, the iconic ghost is back. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice aimed to revisit Tim Burton’s uniquely bizarre universe from 1988, but did it hit the mark? Sort of, but it falls short in some areas.Michael Keaton returning as Beetlejuice is a real delight, still brimming with the wild energy that made him unforgettable. Burton’s visual flair remains intact, with the Neitherworld appearing more chaotic and vibrant than ever. Yet, something feels off.The storyline feels cluttered, trying to fit in too many elements at once. Lydia deals with her moody teenage daughter, Beetlejuice has family issues, and there’s little room left for traditional haunting antics. It feels like a mishmash of ideas thrown together.The humor doesn’t quite land, leaning too much on nostalgia and shock value. The original film’s heartwarming charm is somewhat lacking. While Jenna Ortega shines as Lydia’s daughter, the character doesn’t fully develop.Ultimately, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice doesn’t fully capture the magic of its predecessor. Though there are moments of brilliance, it’s overshadowed by a tangled plot and inconsistent tone. Fans may appreciate the nostalgic nods, but it’s like reheating leftover pizza – still familiar, but not as satisfying as the first bite.The post ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’: Nostalgia Over Substance appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Well, regardless of whether that was on your bingo card, that’s what director and co-writer Todd Phillips had in mind. Considering that his star, Joaquin Phoenix, had singing experience in Walk the Line (and won a Grammy Award for the film’s soundtrack), Phillips felt confident that a musical approach would work, and he then hired Lady Gaga to co-star as Harley Quinn.

Image Source: MiramaxBack in 1998, when Matt Damon was still on his ascent to Hollywood’s A-list, he made a movie about poker that was initially viewed as a box office disappointment. But time has been kind to Rounders which has benefited from a burgeoning interest in high-stakes poker over the years and become a cult hit. (Interestingly, the movie was written by David Levien and Brian Koppelman, who took their interest in high-stakes finance to a whole new level by co-creating the series Billions, which has only helped establish the film’s pedigree further.) Damon has recently expressed a renewed interest in revisiting the film with a sequel, stating on The Rich Eisen Show that he’s talked to many of the people involved with Rounders, and they’d be “all in” on making another, so to speak. Whether that sequel happens or not remains to be seen, but in the meantime, Damon might just head back to the casinos to keep his chops up. After all, when he made the original film, he told us that he and co-star Edward Norton prepared for their roles by hitting Vegas and playing in the infamous World Series of Poker.

Between his film, television, and recording careers, he’s been entertaining us for decades, giving us classics like The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and the Star Wars parody Spaceballs.

The Deliverance. Mo’Nique as Cynthia Henry in The Deliverance. cr. Aaron Ricketts/Netflix © 2024.The Deliverance directed by Lee Daniels delves into the well-traveled realm of exorcism horror, producing a skillfully crafted movie that provides a few genuine scares but ultimately fails to establish new ground.The movie centers on the Bliss family as they battle a demonic force that has taken a hold of Caleb, their young son. The way that Mo’Nique plays the resolute mother Ebony stands out because it gives emotional nuance to a part that could have easily been formulaic. Unquestionably powerful, the exorcism sequences use eerie sound design and imagery to evoke a real sense of dread.But the movie can’t really stand out in the genre because of its reliance on well-known cliches and predictable story aspects. Even while the technical aspects and acting are excellent, the storyline feels a little predictable and doesn’t provide many surprises. Though noticeable, Daniels’ distinctive technique falls short of elevating the movie above a merely mediocre inclusion in the pantheon of exorcisms.All things considered, The Deliverance is a respectable horror movie that should please viewers looking for a few jump scares and a well-known plot. But one could be disappointed if they’re searching for a genuinely novel or ground-breaking interpretation of demonic possession.The Deliverance is now streamning on Netflix.The post ‘The Deliverance’: Mo’Nique Shines, But The Devil’s Been Done appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

But beyond that, what’s not to love about a movie with:According to IMDb:Jamie Lee Curtis’ dedication: She got so ripped for the role that she actually lost muscle by the time they finished filming!A meta twist: Travolta’s character is based on the real-life journalist who wrote the original story the movie is based on.Quentin Tarantino’s seal of approval: The acclaimed director considers Perfect to be greatly underappreciated.Time for a Re-watch?Almost four decades later, maybe it’s time to dust off those legwarmers (optional, but highly encouraged!) and give Perfect another chance.

Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs in THE CROW. Photo Credit: Larry Horricks for LionsgateThe new version of The Crow that’s in theaters now is technically a reboot of the original series, which began with the late Brandon Lee starring in The Crow back in 1994. But the original series, consisting of four films between ’94 and 2005, felt more like a series of reboots than actual sequels, since they usually didn’t share characters or actors with the other films.The same is true of the new reboot: While it may hew closely to the source material used for the 1994 film, the characters have changed and, of course, there’s an entirely new cast. Bill Skarsgard stars as Eric (and his alter ego, The Crow), said he was extremely impressed by the group put together by director Rupert Sanders, which includes British singer FKA Twigs and Danny Huston.

But recognizing his father’s advancing age and the house’s need for updates, Mookie saw this as the perfect opportunity to show his appreciation.While Mookie is a seasoned pro on the baseball field, construction is a whole new ballgame. “I am not the tool man,” he joked. “Reason being … my dad always did it.”During a break from the renovation, Boston Rob, part of the show’s design team, takes Mookie on a nostalgic trip back to his old high school, where he reconnects with his former coach, Mike Morrison. They even engage in a playful batting practice wager, adding a touch of friendly rivalry to the episode.“It’s challenging for an MLB star to participate in Secret Celebrity Renovation due to the demands of their long season,” said show creator Robert Horowitz. “Despite the tight filming schedule, Mookie was determined to take on the Nashville project for his father. The end result is a heartwarming father-son story that beautifully showcases their bond.”Tune in and be inspired!

All Rights Reserved.When Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987, it didn’t have the easiest path to success. First of all, the show wasn’t airing on a network — it was shown in syndication, with different air times in different markets. Second, the TNG crew was competing against the crew of the original Star Trek, which was in the midst of a successful feature film franchise. And third — as even the most die-hard TNG fans will tell you — the show struggled to find its footing in its first season. Of course, the show went on to find great acclaim and a fervent fan base as the show found its unique voice and the cast gelled. A lot of credit for the latter has gone to Patrick Stewart, who was not only the fictional Captain of the Enterprise, but also the de facto captain of the cast. When Jonathan Frakes spoke about Stewart’s leadership role on TNG during a Star Trek: First Contact day Panel a few years back, Stewart revealed why keeping his crew in line was such an important responsibility for him.

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. Miley Cyrus in My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. Cr. Terence Patrick/Netflix © 2024Since Hannah Montana ended its run in 2011, Miley Cyrus has devoted nearly all of her efforts to building up her music career. And she’s done so very successfully: Each of her four studio albums (plus an EP) have made the Top 5, and she’s had a pair of No. 1 singles, with Wrecking Ball and last year’s Flowers, which is still on the Adult Contemporary chart. Meanwhile, her acting career has, for the most part, been on the back burner. With the occasional exception, like her excellent 2019 episode of Black Mirror, most of her screen appearances have come as, well, Miley Cyrus.In an interview with W Magazine, though, Cyrus announced that she’s once again interested in pursuing her acting career, provided the right roles come along. Early in her career, of course, her father — singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus — played a large role in helping her navigate her showbiz career. We’ve spoken to Miley many times over the course of her career, and she’s told us that no matter what she’s wanted to do, he’s always been a supportive father.

Image Source: Sony PicturesDie-hard fans of the Hellboy movies know all too well that it was supposed to be a trilogy. Yet, after plenty of rumors and false starts following 2008’s Hellboy 2, the third movie still hasn’t gotten off the ground. (There was an attempt at rebooting the franchise with a movie in 2019, but it wasn’t received well by either the Hellboy fan base or the general public, with underwhelming reviews and a box office gross of less than $22 million in America.) Even though Hellboy’s star, Ron Perlman, is now in his mid-70s, he’s still expressed an interest in completing the trilogy — if he’s physically able. During a Q&A session at GalaxyCon Raleigh, though, he took a question that posed an interesting compromise: Make the third movie as an animated feature, which would give him the opportunity to provide the character’s voice without the role’s physical demands. So, what did Perlman think about the idea?

His booming baritone was instantly identifiable as the voice of Mufasa, the King of the Pride Lands and young Simba’s father. His performance helped to make the film, which celebrates its 30th anniversary, the most successful Disney animated movie of all time — and, at the time, the second highest-grossing film of all time (behind only Jurassic Park).

Now that the Marvel properties belong to Disney, they’re giving the franchise another shot — this time, inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the previous Fantastic Four movies were all set outside the MCU). Vanessa Kirby has been cast as Sue Storm — aka The Invisible Woman — and, speaking at Comic-Con, said she’s excited to see the comic book once again come to life, and she thinks fans are going to be excited about it, too.

Just as Frasier, The Conners (formerly Roseanne), Will & Grace, and Quantum Leap all returned more than a decade after their original finales, there are reports that Netflix is working on a new version of A Different World, focusing on the child of two original characters — Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne — as she spends her college years at her parents’ alma mater, Hillman College. Though it hasn’t been determined whether Jasmine Guy (who played Whitley) will be part of the new show, it wouldn’t surprise us to see her join the cast. We’ve spoken to her many times over the years about the show, and she’s always expressed a great deal of pride about her time on A Different World and what the show meant to so many people.

Cobra Kai. Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai. Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2024While many people saw The Karate Kid as a typical sports movie, with the underdog triumphing against all odds, it did have some deeper undercurrents to it. (In fact, we’ve seen some of the echoes of its social conscience reflected in the sequel series Cobra Kai.) One of the standout scenes in the original film focused on the tortured history of Daniel LaRusso’s teacher and mentor, Mr. Miyagi, As it turns out, Miyagi was a war hero during World War II, but that didn’t keep his family out of the internment camps where many Japanese Americans were held during the height of the hostilities. Learning about Miyagi’s past stunned LaRusso and served as a key moment in the characters’ relationship. Looking back on that first film at a Niagara Falls Comic Con Panel a few years back, star Ralph Macchio has vivid memories of filming that scene with Pat Morita, and he talked to us about how significant the scene was — not just to the movie, but to Hollywood.

Image Source: 20th Century StudiosYou’d never know it from the number of people who can still quote so many lines from the film, but Office Space is now 25 years old. The film was the first live-action film for writer/director Mike Judge, who’d built up his Hollywood cachet after creating the MTV sensation Beavis & Butt-head and making their first film, Beavis & Butt-head Do America. Judge’s reputation was enough to attract one of TV’s hottest stars at the time, Friends’s Jennifer Aniston, who signed on to what was, at the time, considered a low-budget film. Over the years, we’ve spoken to Aniston about her involvement in Office Space, and she admitted that, at the time, she merely considered it a fun distraction during her down time from “Friends,” but it wound up becoming something much bigger.

Photo Credit; Paramount PicturesWhen it was released 20 years ago Collateral was an instant success, winning the weekend’s box office race and ultimately taking in more than $100 million domestically (and more than $220 million worldwide). The film also showed us Tom Cruise in a way we weren’t accustomed to seeing him — the vicious hitman he played was a far cry from the heroics of the Mission: Impossible series and many of the other roles he’d been playing at the time. As part of the character, Cruise was given a very distinctive look for the film; at the time of Collateral’s release, Cruise talked to us about how director Michael Mann had managed to make him look different than he’d looked in any other film.

COPYRIGHT: © 2024 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved. PHOTO CREDIT: Courtesy of Warner Bros. PicturesM. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller, Trap (now playing in theaters), offers a journey filled with suspenseful moments yet falls short in depth and originality. Featuring Josh Hartnett as a father who unwittingly walks into a trap at a pop concert orchestrated by the FBI with his daughter, the film introduces an intriguing concept that doesn’t fully deliver what we have come to expect from Shyamalan.The movie excels in creating tension-filled scenes, and Hartnett’s performance is engaging. The cat-and-mouse chase between his character and the FBI provides some gripping moments and occasional surprises. However, the storyline is heavily reliant on Shyamalan’s familiar techniques, which may come off as predictable to seasoned viewers.Hartnett shines as the seemingly innocent father harboring a dark secret, but the rest of the characters, including Ariel Donoghue as his daughter and Haley Mills as an experienced FBI profiler, feel underdeveloped and serve more as plot mechanics than fully realized individuals.Trap has its moments of intensity and suspense, but it ultimately misses the mark with a predictable plot and shallow character development. While it might entertain those looking for some quick thrills, it doesn’t reach the heights of Shyamalan’s more acclaimed works. If you’re willing to overlook its shortcomings, it can be some mindless fun.The post ‘Trap’ A Mindless Thriller With Predictable Thrills appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Image Source: Paramount+If you look back at the various versions of Star Trek through the years, even going back to the original series in the 1960s, a key component to the stories that were being told was that they usually carried a strong social conscience with them. Even as the world has changed dramatically over the ensuing decades, every iteration of Star Trek has attempted to bring relevant issues to the forefront of their storylines and episodes. As the star of Star Trek: Enterprise, Scott Bakula was well aware of the show’s mission. After all, on Quantum Leap, he’d been on a show that was constantly trying to re-examine social issues through a new lens.

One, of course, is Eddie Murphy. After all, what would the franchise be without him? The other is Judge Reinhold, who plays Billy Rosewood, the detective with whom Axel Foley was originally paired in the first film and who has, over time, become a trusted friend. That would make Reinhold the “buddy” in the “buddy cop” genre that has defined the franchise, and Reinhold said that’s been a big part of what has made the movies — and especially the 1984 original — so special.

Bryan Cranston as Michael Desiato in YOUR HONOR. Photo credit: Andrew Cooper/SHOWTIME.After running for two seasons on Showtime, Your Honor has become a big winner on Netflix, getting more streaming minutes than any other content on the service in its streaming debut last month. Not only has this drawn new attention to the show, it’s also opened up discussions for a potential third season, though any such decision won’t likely come soon. Unsurprisingly, one of the factors helping drive the show’s popularity is its star, Bryan Cranston. After all, with Breaking Bad still drawing big binge numbers, people are clearly drawn to Cranston and his characters. While he was making Your Honor, a big part of his role — similar to Breaking Bad— was the physical transformation of his character over time; in Your Honor’s second season, the character looked radically different, as the show’s story arc had taken a deep physical toll on the character. While it made things a little more difficult for Cranston, he said that both he and the show’s producers were adamant about the physical changes.

And, after a decent opening weekend, atrocious word-of-mouth had audiences quickly seeking safe harbor from the film.

When the film opened, star Kevin Costner offered one clue as to why things might have gone awry.

Pictures & Amblin EntertainmentTwisters, the much-anticipated sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Twister, fails to recapture the magic of its predecessor. Despite boasting impressive visuals and a talented cast, the film disappoints with a lackluster plot, one-dimensional characters, and cringeworthy dialogue.The special effects depicting the force of tornadoes are truly impressive. They start to feel repetitive and take away, from the storyline. The characters, such as Glen Powell’s storm chaser and the duo played by Daisy Edgar Jones and Anthony Ramos seem a bit shallow. Fail to connect on an emotional level.The storyline seems like a recycled version of typical disaster movie clichés, offering nothing groundbreaking for the genre. The humor feels forced and awkward. The pacing of the film is inconsistent, leaving viewers feeling unsatisfied and disengaged.While there are moments that attempt to capture the original’s charm through nostalgic references, they fall short in bringing back the heartwarming essence that made Twister a beloved classic.Twisters is a sequel that misses its mark with an uninspiring story and underdeveloped characters. It may appeal to those looking for mindless visual entertainment, but for those seeking an engaging and memorable disaster movie experience, sticking with the original is advised.The post ‘Twisters’: Visuals Triumph Over Substance appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Now, the series is on its third movie, the prequel A Quiet Place: Day One. And though it doesn’t feature any of the actors from the original film, Day One has kept the franchise’s winning streak going; it scored the best opening weekend box office of any of the A Quiet Place films. Lupita Nyong’o, the star of the new film, chalks the success of the three movies up to a concept that’s both suspenseful and thought-provoking.

The film, director Rob Reiner’s follow-up to The Princess Bride, celebrates its 35th — it was released on July 14, 1989. Of course, the male lead was a successful comic actor who’d worked with Reiner on The Princess Bride, Billy Crystal. Ironically, just as Princess Bride’s Robin Wright had been plucked from the ranks of soap operas, Ryan had gotten her start on the long-running soap As the World Turns. So, what did Crystal and Reiner think of their leading lady when she joined the cast? When the film was originally released, Crystal talked about how, even in rehearsals, they couldn’t help but notice the immediate chemistry they shared.

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in “Fly Me to the Moon,” in theaters July 12, 2024. Photo Credit: Apple TV+Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon attempts to combine humor and an examination of the 1960s space race through Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum as protagonists, yet fails at creating any connections among its cast or creating any form of on-screen chemistry between characters.The film struggles to maintain its tone, shifting rapidly between comedy, political themes, and intense drama – leaving audiences bewildered and diluting each element’s impact; jokes feel empty while serious scenes feel out-of-place.Though a love story set during the 1960s space race should be riveting, Johansson and Tatum’s relationship in this movie does not engage audiences to its full extent.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (L to R) John Ashton as Chief John Taggart, Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley and Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Cr. Melinda Sue Gordon/Netflix ©2024Almost forty years after it was originally released in theaters, people are still discovering and rewatching Beverly Hills Cop. Really, it’s one of those movies that never went away — in the heyday of cable TV, it could be seen frequently on the premium channels. When home video was at its peak, the film sold millions of videotapes and DVDs (it was one of the few VHS tapes to be priced for sales, rather than rentals, in 1985). And now that consumers are getting many of their movies via streaming, Beverly Hills Cop has been getting constant on-demand viewings. And, as Eddie Murphy said that’s one of the reasons why the new sequel, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, got the green light to go forward.

Photo Credit: 20th Century StudiosDoes the devil still wear Prada? We may get a chance to find out, as Entertainment Weekly is reporting that all of the major players from the 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada — including stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, along with the film’s original director, producer, and writer — are actively in talks for a sequel. Of course, the film was a huge hit, taking in $326 million worldwide, and it earned Streep one of her 21 Oscar nominations. Not surprisingly, Streep was a perfect fit for the role of fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, especially because the character represented the epitome of fashion. As Streep told us when the movie opened, she tends to be obsessive about all aspects of the characters she plays — including their wardrobe choices — so she took a very active role (alongside Oscar-nominated costume designer Patricia Field) in coming up with the perfect look for Miranda, but that was only the start of the story. As Streep told us, finding the resources to bring those looks to the screen wasn’t an easy thing to do.

When Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was released 20 years ago, some people looked at the topic — overblown local news anchors — and decided that star/co-writer Will Ferrell had found himself some very low-hanging fruit. However, the consensus was that the movie and its characters were also very, very funny. At the time of Anchorman’s release, we spoke to Ferrell about the writing process and asked whether it was more difficult to parody anchormen, since so many of them are already parodies of themselves.

We can rebuild him, the famous opening narration proclaimed. The technology is here. “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.” Together with the iconic “bionic sound,” this tagline became legendary and caused a fad. Children worldwide emulated the extraordinary speed of Steve Austin by running in slow motion, propelling actor Lee Majors to global superstardom.The show’s appeal skyrocketed, going beyond the television to appear in toy aisles and lunchboxes all over the nation. Nevertheless, the man responsible for the bionic hero was working hard despite the whirlwind of triumph. The show was very demanding on Majors mentally and physically from the rigorous production schedule.Decades later, while speaking at a Supermega Fest Panel, Majors looked back on the experience making the series, revealing his initial obliviousness to the cultural phenomenon he was a part of.

Source Image: Warner BrosIn the late ’80s, fans became extremely excited when they learned that Batman would, at last, be coming to the big screen. After all, the last time the Caped Crusader had been featured in a film had been in 1966, when the purely tongue-in-cheek TV show, featuring Adam West as Batman, spawned a movie. So when word emerged that director Tim Burton was making a darker, more serious movie, Batman lovers were seriously intrigued.Then, they found out who had been cast as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman.Michael Keaton? Mr. Mom Michael Keaton? Beetlejuice Michael Keaton?Even in the pre-internet days, the outrage still managed to go viral.Fortunately for Keaton and the film, word of people’s discontent never really reached him. This left him and Burton to develop the character on their own terms. In the end, the film — released 35 years ago — was a huge hit, and Keaton generally received praise for his work. Looking back at the controversy, Keaton told us he was glad he missed most of the criticism until filming had finished and, at that point, he was actually kind of amused.

Gru (Steve Carell) in Despicable Me 4, directed by Chris Renaud. Copyright: Illumination & Universal PicturesSteve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, and a talented cast of voice actors breathe life into the latest installment of Despicable Me, delivering exactly what fans anticipate: a blend of mischievous Minion antics, vibrant visuals, and heartwarming family scenes.While the Minions’ playful escapades take center stage, the rest of the film lacks the resonance and comedic peaks seen in its predecessors. Gru must navigate family life with his daughters and the recently added Gru Jr., while battling a forgettable new adversary in an obviously formulaic scenario.The humor lacks the ingenuity of earlier movies, relying primarily on physical gags and pop culture allusions. Still, the endearing family dynamics create a few moving moments elevated by excellent animation.Despicable Me 4 is an okay family movie that features the slapstick humor that has made the Minions famous.

Image Source: AmazonBefore Oppenheimer, Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy, a young Christopher Nolan first made his mark in Hollywood with a fascinating film called Memento. Released by an indie studio, it became a surprise arthouse hit; over the years, as Nolan’s profile has risen, Memento has evolved into a cult classic. The film stars Guy Pearce as a man who, after the attack that killed his wife, left him struggling with a form of amnesia; the movie’s plot features Pearce’s character, bereft of any short-term memories, trying to piece together the details of the attack. At the time the film was being cast, Pearce had won some acclaim for his early films, but he was far from a household name. And that, Nolan once told us, made him a very attractive choice for the role.

But The Acolyte is in the Star Wars universe, so quite a bit of effort was made to make sure the twin characters didn’t slip into the realm of absurdity. Ultimately, the last line of defense was Amandla Stenberg, who plays both Osha and Mae on the series.

Image Source: Shout FactoryBeep, boop, screech… Do you recall how dial-up internet sounded? In 1983, things were more straightforward in the world. Nevertheless, a film titled WarGames debuted in theaters, and it was a prophecy as well as amusement. It was a gripping drama about a young hacker who almost triggered World War III from his bedroom, not your average teenage frolic.In the movie, Matthew Broderick plays David Lightman, an intelligent but rebellious kid who unintentionally breaks into a top-secret military supercomputer. He discovers what he initially believed to be a great new video game—a terrifyingly lifelike war simulation. If you make one mistake, it’s not simply “game over”—global devastation.The movie was a big hit, but its influence was felt much beyond theaters. A serious discussion concerning the possibility of cyberwarfare was sparked by the screening of WarGames at the White House, surprisingly enough. A few even claim that the movie impacted President Reagan’s policies about nuclear disarmament.Fast forward to today, and it’s eerie how relevant WarGames remains. Cyberattacks, misinformation campaigns, and the looming specter of AI-powered conflict are all too real. The film’s message is more potent than ever: Technology is a double-edged sword. It can connect us, entertain us, and even save lives. But in the wrong hands, it can also be a weapon of mass destruction.If you’re a child of the 80s, WarGames is a nostalgia trip packed with iconic lines (“Shall we play a game?”). If you’re new to the film, it’s a captivating thriller that will make you think twice about the power of the technology in your pocket. And for everyone, it’s a stark reminder that the future is now, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.So, dim the lights, grab some popcorn, and let WarGames take you back to a time when the internet was new, the Cold War was hot, and a teenage hacker almost changed the course of history.You can experience (for the first time or revisit) this chillingly prophetic film on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and various digital platforms. It’s also currently streaming on Max. You might just find that the film’s message is more urgent today than ever before.The post ‘Shall We Play a Game?’ Why ‘WarGames’ is Still Relevant Today appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

The films defined a young generation of audiences, relating to the teen angst and issues explored in the movies. Along with those movies, they also turned Molly Ringwald into a movie star. Ringwald worked with Hughes on three films, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink (Hughes wrote it). Their collaboration was beloved. Each of these films had an impact on not only audiences but on Ringwald personally and professionally.Hughes’ impact is still felt today, with new audiences being introduced to the films even more than three decades after they were released. Speaking at The Breakfast Club Reunion Panel at Steely Con, Ringwald recalled making the iconic 1980s teen movie with Hughes and the very special work relationship they had.

All Rights Reserved.It’s by no means an exaggeration to call Horizon: An American Saga the ultimate passion project for Kevin Costner. It’s a concept he’s been working on bringing to the big screen since 1988 — even before he directed, starred in, and won Oscars for Dances with Wolves. Horizon covers similar territory, focusing on settlers’ expansion into the American West during the time of the Civil War. Originally envisioned as a single film, Horizon has expanded into a four-film epic, with the first two parts being released this summer and the final two films likely getting 2025 release dates (they haven’t been scheduled yet). Costner premiered Chapter 1 at the Cannes Film Festival last month; speaking at a press conference there, Costner explained why he’s always been so drawn to the idea of making Westerns.

Image Source: Warner BrosWhat happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, as the antics of The Hangover proved. Released 15 years ago, the movie struck a chord with both audiences and critics alike. In fact, fans made it the top-grossing R-rated comedy film of all time, a record it still holds today. One of the things people loved about the film was the genuine feeling of brotherhood between the film’s stars: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zack Galifianakis. In terms of characters, though, Galifianakis’s Alan was — at least initially — the outsider, the brother of the bride who was shoehorned into the bachelor party hijinks. And he was the weird one. While Galifianakis wouldn’t go so far as to call himself typecast for the role, he did admit to us that he loved playing “the weird guy,” especially when he and the others were given so much leeway by director Todd Phillips to improvise their lines.

The 1989 film, which spawned a remake (starring Jake Gyllenhaal) that was released earlier this year, featured Swayze as a bouncer at a small-town bar in Missouri. At the time of the film’s original release, Swayze said he was attracted to the role because he could identify not only with the character, but also with that small-town way of life.

Image Source: AmazonMovie enthusiasts, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to go into a cinematic from 1984 called Streets of Fire. This isn’t your average action movie or Broadway musical—rather, it’s a fantastic mashup of the two, all encased in a neon-drenched shell of pure 80s crazy. Seriously, this movie is one-of-a-kind.Picture it: a city that looks like a jukebox exploded, where brooding hero Tom Cody (Michael Paré) must rescue his rockstar ex-girlfriend (Diane Lane) from a leather-clad biker gang led by the devilishly charming Willem Dafoe. Oh, and did we mention Rick Moranis is the hilariously awkward manager caught in the middle of this whole mess? It’s basically the 80s dream team, and director Walter Hill (the director 48 Hours) was clearly having a blast throwing every genre into the blender.Critics Hated It? We Don’t Care!Yeah, the critics weren’t exactly thrilled with this one. Too campy, too confusing, too much hairspray… you name it. But you know what? We don’t care! Streets of Fire has become a cult classic for a reason. It’s the kind of movie you watch with friends, drink in hand, and sing along to the ridiculously catchy soundtrack (seriously, you’ll be humming I Can Dream About You for weeks).The Trilogy That Didn’t Happen, But There WAS an Unofficial SequelFun fact: Hill intended Streets of Fire to be the first in a trilogy! But box office numbers didn’t quite light up the marquee, so those plans fizzled out. However, fans got an unexpected treat in 2008 with the release of Road to Hell, an unofficial sequel that brought back Michael Paré as Tom Cody, albeit in a much darker and more twisted tale.Your Turn to Judge!So, was Streets of Fire a masterpiece that got snubbed, or a beautiful train wreck that’s best left in the 80s-time capsule? Only one way to find out: grab some popcorn and give it a watch! It’s available on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and digital platforms, so there’s no excuse not to experience the magic (or madness) for yourself.The post Walter Hill’s ‘Streets of Fire’: A Misunderstood Masterpiece or Glorious Mess? appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

THE LION KING – Featuring the voices of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala and Donald Glover as Simba, Disney’s “The Lion King” is directed by Jon Favreau. © 2019 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.When Disney made the original animated version of The Lion King, the studio invested heavily in the film’s music, enlisting Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice for the film’s original songs and Hans Zimmer for its score. Of course, it was an investment that paid off handsomely — the soundtrack album has sold more than 7 million copies, and all four of The Lion King’s Oscar nominations were for the film’s music. (Zimmer won for Best Original Score, while Can You Feel the Love Tonight beat out Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata for Best Original Song.) When the studio decided to remake the film in 2019, director Jon Favreau was faced with a lot of choices about how he wanted to make his film different than the original. At the time of the film’s release, Favreau told us he realized that, when it came to the music, there wasn’t much he could do that would surpass the original.

Image created by “Shutterstock.AI”While Basic Instinct was a huge hit with movie audiences back in 1992, critics were, at the time, underwhelmed. The film’s three stars — Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, and Jeanne Tripplehorn — all wound up with Golden Raspberry nominations for their performances. With the passage of time, however, Basic Instinct has undergone a critical re-evaluation, with several critics now believing it’s one of the essential films of its era. Regardless of its outside reception, though, Douglas will always look back at “Basic Instinct” as one of his most difficult films. As he said at the time of its release, the Joe Eszterhas script guaranteed that he wouldn’t be getting much rest during the shoot.

Image created by “Shutterstock.AI”Let’s face it: While Speed was a great movie, the abominable sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control, pretty much ended everybody’s desire for the franchise to continue. Well, with the possible exception of Keanu Reeves, who told the 50 MPH podcast he would love to work with Sandra Bullock again, potentially on a Speed 3 if the circumstances — and the script — were right. (Reeves notoriously turned down the first sequel because he was unhappy with the script.) Bullock has also spoken of her desire to co-star in a film with Reeves again. When we spoke to her in 1994 about working with Reeves for the first time on Speed, Bullock talked about how the tone of their relationship was set early on.

Starring five members of the Brat Pack — Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy — the film, which took place in a single location on a single day, stands out as a character study that perfectly captured teen life during the era.

Photo credit: “Shutterstock.AI”Remember how crazy it is that the iconic movie Mean Girls is practically an adult now? Two decades! Tina Fey’s wickedly funny writing (and her Ms. Norbury role!) is still pure gold. And that cast! Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried – they were all pitch-perfect, and the film sent Lohan soaring.Cady Heron (Lohan) tries to infiltrate the ultra-popular Plastics, but her crush on Regina George’s ex sets off the classic high school drama we all know too well. Oh, the cringe!”So, why does Mean Girls still hit home after all this time? Probably because those social groups and sneaky power plays just keep on happening. Even with the Broadway musical (and the less-awesome movie-of-the-musical), the story just keeps on proving how timeless it is. As Lindsay Lohan said when the movie first blew up.

BILLIONS, Season 7. Photo Credit: Mark Seliger/SHOWTIME.One thing we’ve learned from the show Billions is that, apparently, the more money you have, the more you appreciate music. Not only has Billions used several iconic pieces of music as part of its soundtrack, but nearly all of the show’s key characters regularly have lines referencing songs or artists, and several artists have appeared (as themselves) on the show, including Metallica, Michael Bolton, Ben Folds, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and indie darling Jason Isbell. The show’s creators, Brian Koppelman and David Levien, are big music fans themselves — Koppelman’s father was the “K” in ’90s label SBK Records (which scored major hits with Wilson Phillips, Vanilla Ice, and Jesus Jones, among others) — and they spoke to us about the importance of finding the right music for the show.

When Mannequin was originally released in 1987, the critics were not kind. In fact, they were pretty savage in their near-unanimous hatred for the film. That didn’t stop it from being a modest box-office hit, though — and in the decades that followed, it managed to pick up new fans, some drawn to the film’s romance, some drawn to the film’s stars (Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and James Spader), and some who subscribe to the “so bad it’s good” school of cult cinema.

Ben Affleck attends the World Premiere of Amazon Studio’s AIR at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on Monday, March 27, 2023 (photo: Alex J. Berliner/ABImages)At first glance, a movie about a business deal involving a shoe sponsorship wouldn’t seem like a very compelling idea. But when you plug in the personality — NBA legend Michael Jordan — and the fact that his Air Jordan line is still dominating the industry in its fourth decade, it becomes much more interesting. And when Ben Affleck, who produced, directed, and stars in Air, dug deeper into the story, the more he saw it as a tale that needed to be told on the screen.

It took a little longer than expected — OK, a lot longer than expected — but Nicolas Cage is finally getting to play the role he’s always coveted: Superman. It’s been confirmed that Cage will make a cameo appearance as the Man of Steel in The Flash, the latest casting coup for a film that’s already bringing back Michael Keaton’s Batman. Of course, while Keaton got to play Batman twice, appearing in the first two Tim Burton Batman movies, Cage never got his shot. He’d been cast in a Superman movie Burton was planning on making, but which ultimately fell through. Despite the fact that Superman Lives fell apart before shooting could begin, the character has always remained near and dear to Cage’s heart.

The third and final season of the critically acclaimed HBO Original docu-comedy series HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON debuts FRIDAY, JULY 28 (11:00-11:30p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. New episodes of the six-episode season will debut on subsequent Fridays. In season three of HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON, documentary filmmaker and self-described “anxious New Yorker” John Wilson continues his heartfelt mission of self-discovery, exploration, and observation as he films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on six new deceptively simple and wildly random topics. Nathan Fielder (HBO’s “The Rehearsal”), Michael Koman, and Clark Reinking, who previously worked together on “Nathan For You,” serve as executive producers. Building upon season two, the episodes take unexpected turns, as John navigates a new set of topics including; how to find a public restroom, how to work out, and how to clean your ears.Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO & HBO Max Comedy Programming quote: “John has changed the way we look at the world and the way we go about our days. How To is as singular as John is, he bares it all without ever showing himself. We’re so grateful for each season of this jaw-dropping comedy.”John Wilson, writer, director, cameraman, narrator, and executive producer quote: “As we started work on season 3 I found it exciting to think of it as the last one. It ended up opening a lot of narrative possibilities that weren’t available to us before and gave us the freedom to try some really ambitious stuff.While a part of me would be happy to go on making “How To” indefinitely, I take a lot of pride in trying to make the style and imagery feel surprising, and I would prefer to end the show while that’s still the case. Thematically, we also kind of reach a vanishing point by the finale, and it felt like a natural place to sign off.I plan to continue to experiment within the world of non-fiction and any ideas I have left over will just be put into the next thing. The project of documenting the current moment never really ends and even if the work changes title and shifts form, there will always be something worth capturing.It’s a miracle that a program like this ever made it on to HBO in the first place, and after 18 episodes, it feels like we pulled off some kind of incredible heist. I feel melancholy ending a project with such an amazing team, but I can’t be more thankful to HBO for their support, and for the fact that they let us experiment for three amazing seasons.So if you’re a fan of the show – thanks for watching, and buckle up, because there’s a crazy trip you’re about to take.”Season two of HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON was Emmy(R)-nominated for “Outstanding Writing For A Nonfiction Program.” New York Times hailed it as an “ambitious, adventurous, wildly eccentric, and incredibly smart comedy” with an “enduring power of the real” while IndieWire named it “one of the best docuseries of 2021.” Variety called the series “stellar” praising John’s narration as “one of TV’s best performances of 2021.The post ‘How To With John Wilson’ Season 3 Premiering July 28 On HBO appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) in Lucasfilm’s IJ5. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved.More than four decades after the world first met Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, it’s time to say goodbye. With Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, 80-year-old Harrison Ford is ready to hang up his fedora. The new film comes 14 years after ol’ Indy seemed to have gotten his happily ever after at the end of The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, leaving many to think the series was coming to an end back then. So, when it was announced that Ford would be coming back one final time, many were delighted, but some were surprised. As far as Ford was concerned, he was waiting for a script that would have given the character a proper send-off, and with director James Mangold, who also co-wrote the screenplay, Ford says he got what he wanted.

Now that he’s 75 years old, Arnold Schwarzenegger insists he has no interest in playing one of his signature roles, Terminator, ever again.

And he feels good about the Terminator’s place in Hollywood history, he told us, because the character had the odd distinction of being both a good guy and a bad guy.

In some ways, it’s surprising that Arrival was as big of a hit as it was — it was a science fiction film focused more on diplomacy than destruction, with heroes using linguistics, not lasers.

The Mother. Jennifer Lopez as The Mother in The Mother. Cr. Ana Carballosa/Netflix © 2023.Released during Mother’s Day weekend, you’d think a movie called The Mother would be sweet and sentimental. But you’d be wrong. Instead, it’s an action movie starring Jennifer Lopez, who plays a military operative code-named The Mother. While the action does get fierce, there is still some room for maternal drama, as the daughter she gave up for adoption is used as a pawn in an attempt to draw out The Mother. Lopez says it was that idea of a mother fighting for her daughter that made the movie so appealing to her.

Apple TV+ has announced that “Physical,” its widely celebrated and hit half-hour dramedy starring and executive produced by Rose Byrne and hailing from creator, writer and executive producer Annie Weisman, is set to return for its 10-episode third and final season on Wednesday, August 2, 2023. Since its global debut on Apple TV+, “Physical” has drawn acclaim from audiences and critics alike, as well as praise for performances by its ensemble cast led by “perfectly cast” and “masterful” Rose Byrne, and stars Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel and Paul Sparks. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Tomorrow Studios.“We are so grateful to Apple, Tomorrow Studios, and all our creative collaborators for the chance to bring Sheila to life in all her gritty glory,” said star and executive producer Rose Byrne and creator, writer and executive producer Annie Weisman. “With this final season, Sheila’s three act saga of rebellion, recovery, and redemption comes to the satisfying conclusion that she and her fans so richly deserve. We feel so proud to share this last chapter with everyone.”“Over the course of three enthralling seasons of ‘Physical,’ we have been honored to work with Annie Weisman and Tomorrow Studios to bring Sheila Rubin’s journey of transformation and personal empowerment to the screen through Rose Byrne’s fearless, moving, and often very funny, portrayal,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We are aware of just how much of an impact this character and story has had on audiences around the world and can’t wait for them to join us on this final exhilarating ride that culminates in an immensely rewarding finale for this celebrated series.”Viewers can catch up on seasons one and two of “Physical,” now streaming globally on Apple TV+. Season three of “Physical” expands its cast with Emmy and Grammy Award-nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Zooey Deschanel, who plays ‘Kelli,’ a network sitcom star who decides to enter the burgeoning Fitness Industry.Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, “Physical” is a half-hour dark comedy following Sheila Rubin (Byrne), a quietly tortured, seemingly dutiful housewife supporting her smart but controversial husband’s bid for state assembly. But behind closed doors, Sheila has her own darkly funny take on life she rarely lets the world see. She’s also battling a complex set of personal demons relating to her self-image… that is, until she finds release through the unlikeliest source: the world of aerobics. Season two found Byrne having successfully launched her first fitness video only to encounter some new and bigger obstacles on her path. She is torn between loyalty to her husband (Rory Scovel) and the values he represents, and a dangerous attraction to someone else. And since she’s no longer the only game in town, she finds herself having to outrun some fierce new competitors on the road to building a full-fledged fitness empire.The post ‘Physical’ Season 3 Premiering August 2 On Apple TV+ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

The official trailer was revealed exclusively during Warner Bros. Discovery’s Upfront presentation in New York.Robert Downey Jr. loves restoring classic cars. But he’s also become dedicated to fighting climate change. So he’s bringing his beloved old cars into the future, making them faster, more powerful, and more efficient while keeping their souls intact.Robert Downey Jr., quote: “We are what we drive, and having amassed a formidable collection of classic cars over the years, I was a petrol spewing mess. And a hypocrite, as I’d founded the Footprint Coalition in 2019 to scale technologies that mitigate climate change. Fortunately, I’m a bit of a dreamer. The last 3 years have been an experiment in hope, as I engaged the best and brightest minds to evaluate, educate, elevate, and decarbonize these vehicles in a way that demonstrates the limitless potential of creative problem solving. It was a huge challenge and an enlightening journey. It’s also just fun to watch, and for that, I must credit my kids, my wife and boss Susan, Team Downey, Boat Rocker’s Matador Content, and of course, Max and Warner Bros. Discovery. Thanks for supporting what, at times, seemed a blurry vision, but ultimately confirmed the myriad ways we can join hands and create a sustainable future.”The post HBO Max Releases ‘Downey’s Dream Cars’ Trailer appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Although the Supernatural universe continued with the just-cancelled prequel series The Winchesters, plenty of fans still miss the original … or have been streaming all the old episodes to fill the void. But the show’s stars have moved on to other things — Jensen Ackles with starring roles in both Big Sky and The Boys, and Jared Padalecki with Walker. Still, the 15-season run of Supernatural was a phenomenon they’ll likely never experience again. For that, they’ve got the show’s devoted fan base to thank, but, as Padalecki has told us over the years, they also couldn’t have done it without an incredibly supportive team behind them, from the crew to the producers to even the networks (yes, there were two) that aired the show.

Fans have loved Michael J. Fox’s performances in the Back to the Future movies ever since the first was released in the summer of 1985. But it took Fox a little longer to figure out what we already knew — that he was masterful as Marty McFly in the trilogy. Speaking to Empire, Fox admitted that he’d seen the original film at the time it was released, and then didn’t see it again for more than three decades. Watching it with the gift of hindsight, Fox said he was really able to appreciate his performance for the first time. Of course, we’ve spoken to Fox — the subject of a new documentary, Still — many times over the years, and while he may not have fully appreciated his performances back then, he told us he absolutely appreciated the experience he had working on the movies, especially the first.

HBO Original documentary film BEING MARY TYLER MOORE, directed by Emmy(R)-winning filmmaker James Adolphus (“Soul of a Nation”) and produced by Lena Waithe (“A Thousand and One”), Debra Martin Chase (“Harriet”), and Ben Selkow (HBO’s “Q: Into The Storm”), debuts FRIDAY, MAY 26 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. The film made its world premiere at the 2023 SXSW Festival. With unprecedented access to Mary Tyler Moore’s vast archive, BEING MARY TYLER MOORE chronicles the screen icon whose storied career spanned sixty years. Weaving Moore’s personal narrative with the beats of her professional accomplishments, the film highlights her groundbreaking roles and the indelible impact she had on generations of women who came after her.Moore’s career broke boundaries in different eras, most notably in her comedic roles as Laura Petrie in the ’60s sitcom, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and as single career woman Mary Richards on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” in the ’70s, both of which put her at the forefront of female representation on television and cemented her as a role model for independent working women. Acknowledging that much of herself was woven into her sunny characters, she nevertheless struggled behind the scenes, dealing privately with immeasurable tragedy in her personal life, some of which was echoed in her portrayal of a grieving mother in the 1980 film “Ordinary People,” for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. In the last thirty-five years of her life, Moore went through a transformative period of self-discovery, moving to New York City, finding true love, and going on to become an impactful global advocate for diabetes research. BEING MARY TYLER MOORE documents the life of a complex artist who shifted the dynamics of how women were portrayed on television, had far-reaching influence on the business through her own production company, and helped affect great change through her work as International Chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).Lending their voices to the film are family members, colleagues and those whose lives Mary Tyler Moore impacted including directors Rob Reiner, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and Jim Burrows, actors Ed Asner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lena Waithe, Phylicia Rashad, Bernadette Peters, and Joel Grey, writers and producers Allan Burns, James L.

As the entire staff is forced to come together in new ways, pushing the boundaries of their abilities and relationships, they also learn what it means to be in service, both to diners and each other.In addition to White, Edebiri and Moss-Bachrach, the half-hour series also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Edwin Lee Gibson, Oliver Platt and newcomer Molly Gordon in recurring roles.The critically acclaimed series also racked up numerous awards in its first season, including being honored as an AFI TV Program of the Year, as well as a WGA Award, PGA Award, Film Independent Spirit Award, American Cinema Editors Award and ACE Eddie Award.

In 1998, Earth was under attack by threats from deep space … or, at least, Hollywood would have you believe. Two blockbuster films that year were built around the premise of a space object on a collision course with Earth: Deep Impact and Armageddon. Despite sharing eerily similar plots, both were box office hits. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deep Impact’s opening in theaters; Téa Leoni, who starred in the movie, told us she knew she wasn’t making a movie with Oscar potential, yet she still had a great time making the film.

While that timeliness made it a huge hit back then, it definitely made things interesting when producers decided to reboot it as a new series. Lizzy Caplan, who stars as the femme fatale on the new show, told us she was certainly familiar with the film, but she knew that the new series would have to be handled in a much different way to appeal to today’s viewers.

Photo courtesy of Marvel Studios. © 2022 MARVEL.It’s fair to say that there would be no Guardians of the Galaxy — at least, not as we now know it — without James Gunn. He’s directed all three films, and he’s either written or co-written all three screenplays. Even controversy wasn’t able to keep him away from the series: Gunn was fired from Vol. 3 in July 2018 after some of his old tweets raised a furor, but he was reinstated to the project 10 months later. Through it all, he had the full support of the Guardians cast. Chris Pratt definitely considers himself to be a Gunn fan, and he spoke to us about his relationship with the director through the franchise’s films.

Not surprisingly, with its 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s landed in the Top 5 of the site’s list of the best sci-fi movies of the 2010s.

When Saturday Night Live signed on for the first time in 1975, it changed the trajectory of television forever. Given a canvas outside of prime-time content restrictions, the show wasn’t afraid to take big swings, even if they sometimes missed. More often, though, the show’s writers and performers connected, and the show became “must-watch TV” for a generation. Now, director Jason Reitman is said to be working on a new film that will tell the story of SNL’s historic, chaotic sign-on through the eyes of the cast and crew. Of course, Chevy Chase will figure into the film in a big way — though he was only on SNL during its first season, he made a huge impression and became the show’s first breakout star. We’ve spoken to Chase many, many times over the years, and he’s always waxed nostalgic over the time he spent in and around NBC’s Studio 8H, especially when it comes to his old colleagues.

Murder Mystery 2. Jennifer Aniston as Audrey Spitz in Murder Mystery 2. Cr. Scott Yamano/Netflix © 2023.Late last year, Jennifer Aniston lost her father, John Aniston. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because he was also an actor, appearing on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives on and off for 37 years. He appeared in nearly 3,800 of the show’s episodes and, just months before his death, he was honored with the Daytime Emmy Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award. Still, his own fame was eclipsed by his daughter’s meteoric rise, thanks to Friends. But, if John had had it his way, Jennifer would have never taken the role in the first place. In fact, she told us, he was totally against the idea of his daughter trying to follow in his footsteps as an actor.

Even though The X-Files was a series that had an ongoing storyline, it often played more like an anthology: Some episodes were unmistakably in the horror genre, some were thrillers, some were drama, some were science fiction, and some were comedy. That variety within the show was one of the things that really appealed to David Duchovny. During the show’s run, he spoke to us about how impressed he was by both the quality and the diversity of the scripts.

When Danny DeVito took the role of The Penguin in Batman Returns, he knew that most Batman fans had preconceived notions of what the character would be like, thanks to the comic books and Burgess Meredith’s unforgettably iconic portrayal on the ’60s Batman TV series.

Playing Captain America (and his alter ego, Steve Rogers), Chris Evans has appeared in 11 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. And though he passed the torch — er, shield — to a new Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Evans has signaled his willingness to return to the character under the right conditions. Some of that desire, of course, could be chalked up to the fact that Evans is an unabashed fan of the MCU, which he says has delivered (and then some) on its promise over and over again.

Given that so much time had passed, it may seem a little surprising that Paramount+ has revived the franchise with a new series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.

When it was released in 2016, The Nice Guys was one of those films that kind of flew under the radar. It debuted without any pre-release hype — in fact, its release was bumped up by a few months to give its summer slot to another film — and had to settle for fourth place in its first weekend. While it received generally good reviews, The Nice Guys was generally judged to be a flop. But, thanks to streaming, the film has picked up a cult following over the years, and people have raved about the chemistry between stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe. At the time, Gosling admitted he’d been a little intimidated by the idea of working with Crowe, but said it turned out to be an awesome experience.

Murder Mystery 2. Jennifer Aniston as Audrey Spitz in Murder Mystery 2. Cr. Scott Yamano/Netflix © 2023.Jennifer Aniston’s film career began 30 years ago with a co-starring role opposite Willow’s Warwick Davis in the cult classic Leprechaun. Prior to that, she’d been a regular on a couple of TV series that were cancelled during their first seasons, and she’d gotten some traction as a guest star on other series. Still, she considered Leprechaun, released when she was just 23, as a low point in her career — a sign that maybe she wasn’t cut out for a life in showbiz. She had no idea that superstardom was just a year away, in the form of a pilot for a TV show called Friends. In fact, Aniston — who is now co-starring with Adam Sandler in the new film Murder Mystery 2 — told us that, until the overnight success of Friends, she was convinced she was never going to make it big as an actor.

It’s not difficult to get Matt Damon interested in a project when his old friend Ben Affleck is involved. But it certainly doesn’t hurt when you’ve got interesting source material to work with.

As the two astronauts who are awake aboard the spaceship Discovery One, Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood are the only actors in the film to get more than a few minutes of screen time, and Kubrick wanted to make sure that their characters were well-developed. At a press event, Dullea explained that, in order for the actors to understand their characters better, Kubrick created biographies for the actors to study before filming began.

Ted Lasso was kind of an unlikely series to start with, born from a series of promotional videos for network soccer broadcasts. Somehow, the character Jason Sudeikis created for those promos attracted the interest of producers, who believed there was much more to the character than had been shown in those short videos. In this case, extending a skit into a full show worked — Ted Lasso has been a fan favorite and a critical success, earning 40 Emmy nominations (including 11 wins) in its first two seasons. Sudeikis has witnessed a lot of that love from fans first-hand, and he still finds it to be surprising.

Key art for PERSONALITY CRISIS ONE NIGHT ONLY. Photo credit: Courtesy of SHOWTIME.“Vegetarian, gay, straight; I just wanted to bring those walls down and have a party,” proclaims David Johansen, influential ’70s glam punk lead singer of the New York Dolls.For the first time ever, PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY reveals the many faces of Johansen when it premieres on SHOWTIME on Friday, April 14, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. From Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese (The Last Waltz, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, Pretend It’s a City), co-director Emmy nominee David Tedeschi (The 50 Year Argument) and executive producers Academy Award(R) winning filmmakers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, present this wildly entertaining portrait, available for streaming and on demand toI’ve known David Johansen for decades, and his music has been a touchstone ever since I listened to the Dolls when I was making Mean Streets,” said Scorsese. “Then and now, David’s music captures the energy and excitement of New York City. I often see him perform, and over the years I’ve gotten to know the depth of his musical inspirations. After seeing his show at the Café Carlyle, I knew I had to film it because it was so extraordinary to see the evolution of his life and his musical talent in such an intimate setting.”Framed around an intimate cabaret performance filmed in January 2020 at New York City’s storied Café Carlyle, PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY explores Johansen’s enormous influence as he regales the audience with stories and music illuminating the art and cultural evolution of New York City.Scorsese and David Tedeschi, working with frequent collaborators, cinematographer Ellen Kuras (American Utopia) and producer Margaret Bodde, capture the entertainer’s luminous Cafe Carlyle set, where he performs as his alter ego Buster Poindexter singing the songs of David Johansen, bringing downtown irreverence to this storied uptown joint. Presented alongside new and archival interviews, including several filmed by his daughter Leah Hennessey, the concert is marvelously intimate and a testament to both a lost New York and a gifted performer/raconteur who remains as provocative as ever.Growing up on Staten Island, Johansen landed in the East Village in the late 1960s; a 16-year-old dropped into the epicenter of the counter-cultural revolution in music, theatre, film, fashion, art, writing, and social transformation – a seismic moment that still reverberates today. Johansen’s musical career started in the 1970s when he launched the New York Dolls with bandmates Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain on guitar, Arthur Kane on bass, and Billy Murcia on drums (replaced by Jerry Nolan after Murcia’s early death). The band became a blueprint for the punk movement to come, and went on to influence The Ramones, KISS, The Damned, The Smiths, and many others. In the 1980s, Johansen helped to usher in the swing revival as Buster Poindexter and dug deep into the blues with the Harry Smiths in the 1990s. Johansen has had memorable appearances films like Scrooged, Let It Ride, and Freejack. He currently hosts the weekly show David Johansen’s Mansion of Fun on Sirius XM.The post Showtimes Releases Trailer For New Documentary ‘Personality Crisis: One Night Only’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy.Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy’s dismay. In the galley, Chef Ileisha’s cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase.Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy.With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of “Below Deck Sailing Yacht.”The post ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 4 Premiering April 10 On Bravo appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Rege Jean Page plays Xenk, Michelle Rodriguez plays Holga, Chris Pine plays Edgin, Sophia Lillis plays Doric and Justice Smith plays Simon in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves from Paramount Pictures and eOne.If early reviews are any indication, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves could be one of the spring’s surprise hits at the box office. And that may be due in large part to the film’s comedic tone. Thanks in part to the script by directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. But that’s only part of the equation, according to Regé-Jean Page, who says the film’s ensemble cast — led by Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Hugh Grant — really bring the humor to.

Boston Strangler – Detective Conley (Alessandro Nivola), shown. (Photo courtesy of 20th Century Studios. © 2023 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved.)For 18 tense months, the city of Boston was gripped by a series of murders carried out by a serial killer dubbed the Boston Strangler. The killer, believed to be responsible for 13 deaths between June 1962 and January 1964, was eventually captured, in part due to the visibility created by a pair of investigative journalists.

Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock in STAR TREK (The Original Series) Screen grab: ©1967 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.When the original Star Trek series premiered in the fall of 1966, America was a very different place. Less than three years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy and two years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, the country was at a cultural turning point. Star Trek addressed a lot of those issues, many of its episodes serving as alien-world allegories for the problems prevalent on Earth at the time. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s dedication to social progress and justice was one of the things that really impressed Leonard Nimoy, who became famous playing the Vulcan Spock in the original show and the series of films and spinoffs it spawned. When we spoke to Nimoy, prior to his death in 2015, he told us he felt a great deal of pride when it came to Star Trek’s social advocacy over the years.

Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) stars in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream VI.”In the mid-’90s, Wes Craven had already made his mark as one of the premier movie directors in the horror genre. And Kevin Williamson was an unproven screenwriter who’d never had any of his work produced before. The movie they made together in 1996, Scream, hatched a franchise that has now lasted more than 25 years and spawned six films and a TV series. Courteney Cox, who has appeared in all six of the films, told us she has a deep appreciation for how Craven and Williamson were able to breathe new life into a genre that had become overly predictable.

When Total Recall was released in 1990, Arnold Schwarzenegger had already established himself in films like Predator, The Running Man, and, of course the original Terminator.

HBO Original documentary film BEING MARY TYLER MOORE, directed by Emmy(R) winning filmmaker James Adolphus (“Soul of a Nation”) and produced by Lena Waithe (“A Thousand and One”), Debra Martin Chase (“Harriet”), and Ben Selkow (HBO’s “Q: Into The Storm”), debuts this May on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.With unprecedented access to Mary Tyler Moore’s vast archive, BEING MARY TYLER MOORE chronicles the screen icon whose storied career spanned sixty years. Weaving Moore’s personal narrative with the beats of her professional accomplishments, the film highlights her groundbreaking roles and the indelible impact she had on generations of women who came after her.Moore’s career broke boundaries in different eras, most notably in her comedic roles as Laura Petrie in the ’60s sitcom, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and as single career woman Mary Richards on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” in the ’70s, both of which put her at the forefront of female representation on television and cemented her as a role model for independent working women. Acknowledging that much of herself was woven into her sunny characters, she nevertheless struggled behind the scenes, dealing privately with immeasurable tragedy in her personal life, some of which was echoed in her portrayal of a grieving mother in the 1980 film “Ordinary People,” for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. In the last thirty-five years of her life, Moore went through a transformative period of self-discovery, moving to New York City, finding true love, and going on to become an impactful global advocate for diabetes research. BEING MARY TYLER MOORE documents the life of a complex artist who shifted the dynamics of how women were portrayed on television, had far-reaching influence on the business through her own production company, and helped affect great change through her work as International Chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).Featured Participants: Lending their voices to the film are family members, colleagues and those whose lives Mary Tyler Moore impacted including directors Rob Reiner, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and Jim Burrows, actors Ed Asner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lena Waithe, Phylicia Rashad, Bernadette Peters, and Joel Grey, writers and producers Allan Burns, James L.

Quentin Tarantino usually directs the screenplays he’s written. But one notable exception is True Romance.

Patricia Arquette, who starred in the film alongside Christian Slater, thought Scott was the perfect choice to direct the film, which has gone on to become a cult classic.

The Dude’s been abiding for 25 years now. It’s been a quarter of a century since The Big Lebowski’s opened in theaters, we’re looking back at the beloved Coen Brothers movie and, of course, the lovable character played by Jeff Bridges. Though The Dude — aka Jeffrey Lebowski — is at least partially based on real people the Coens had met, they tailored the part specifically to Bridges. That helped Bridges fully commit to becoming the character; as the actor told us, he tries to put himself into the shoes of all the characters he plays, though he admits it’s easier with some roles than other ones.

John Stamos has been taking a lot of trips down memory lane lately, as he’s been putting the finishing touches on his first memoir, If You Would Have Told Me.

But, as Stamos once told us, General Hospital’s executive producer tried to keep him on the show by telling him he’d be making a big, big mistake.

THE OSCARS¨ – 95th Oscars¨ hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. (ABC/Matt Sayles)Yes, Jimmy Kimmel was a tough act to follow.

All Rights Reserved.Paramount+ has announced that one of the service’s longest-running original drama series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will conclude with its upcoming fifth season in early 2024. The series first premiered in 2017 and heralded the return of scripted “Star Trek” television series. Leading up to the final season, Paramount+ will honor STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’s legacy and groundbreaking storytelling over its last four seasons with year-long celebrations and appearances at key events in markets around the world.“STAR TREK: DISCOVERY is a perennial favorite on the service, near and dear to the hearts of legions of ‘Star Trek’ fans as well as all of us here at Paramount+,” said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer at Paramount Streaming. “The series and its incredible cast and creatives ushered in a new era for ‘Star Trek’ when it debuted over six years ago, embracing the future of streaming with serialized storytelling, bringing to life deep and complex characters that honor Gene Roddenberry’s legacy of representing diversity and inclusion, and pushing the envelope with award-winning world-building. This final season will see our beloved crew take on a new adventure and we can’t wait to celebrate the series’ impact on the franchise leading up to its final season early next year.”Executive producers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise shared: “As lifelong fans of ‘Star Trek,’ it has been an immense honor and privilege to help bring STAR TREK: DISCOVERY to the world. The ‘Trek’ universe means so much to so many – including us – and we couldn’t be prouder of everything DISCOVERY has contributed to its legacy, particularly with representation. If just one person sees themselves, or the possibilities for their future, in a new way because of DISCOVERY, then we think we’d have made Gene Roddenberry very proud.“Of course, there would be no DISCOVERY without Sonequa Martin-Green and the extraordinary team of artists, both in front of and behind the camera, who have brought this show to life. Their passion and determination to make every episode special has been deeply inspiring; so too has their love and support for one another and their genuine love for ‘Star Trek.’ DISCOVERY has truly become a family over the years – and we couldn’t be more grateful to be part of it.”“To the fans around the world, thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Your love for these characters and your excitement for every episode, every season, has meant the world to us. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on for this final season; we appreciate your patience in the meantime and trust us when we say it’ll be worth the wait. We love you all! LLAP”“I can hardly believe that this mind-blowing journey with STAR TREK: DISCOVERY is ending,” said series star and producer Sonequa Martin-Green. “I’m astoundingly blessed by God to have played Captain Michael Burnham and to have taken part in a legacy alongside an extraordinary cast, phenomenal crew and remarkable writing team. To our most supportive partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+, who insisted on making television history, I’m deeply grateful. I’m also deeply grateful for the creative collaboration with our showrunners Michelle Paradise and Alex Kurtzman, as well as Olatunde Osunsanmi and the incomparable team of executive producers. I will never forget how it felt to stand together as a show family, cradling the heirloom of ‘Trek’ with all those from the franchise at large and with the fans. The fans welcomed us into their hearts as we launched a new iteration of ‘Trek’ and an entire entertainment platform, and we’ll never forget it. 65 episodes later, here’s to the entire company of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, to the show and its fifth and final season, to its beloved fans and to all those who envision a better future. Let’s fly… ““When we first started talking about the return of ‘Star Trek’ eight years ago, we never could have imagined the indelible impact STAR TREK: DISCOVERY would have,” said David Stapf, president of CBS Studios. “The series brought back a beloved global franchise, and just like its predecessors, DISCOVERY honored ‘Star Trek’s’ legacy of ‘infinite diversity in infinite combinations,’ representing the best of what we could be as humans when we celebrate our differences. I’d like to thank Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise, who have led this show with heart, passion, and as fans themselves with vivid storytelling – always ready to push boundaries like those before them. And finally, I’d like to thank this talented cast, led by the brilliant Sonequa Martin-Green, whose leadership both onscreen and off has helped guide the way from day one.”The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well … dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.The post ‘Star Trek: Discovery’s’ Voyage Ends With Season 5 appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

This action-comedy spy series marks Schwarzenegger’s first television project.Quote from Star/Executive Producer Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies. Well, here it is. FUBAR will kick your ass and make you laugh – and not just for two hours. You get a whole season. It’s been a joy to work with Nick, Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”Quote from Creator, Showrunner & Executive Producer Nick Santora: “FUBAR is, by far, the most surreal project of my career. I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films — I’d hit my dad up for a few bucks so I could race to the movies and see the biggest star in the world on the big screen — so creating the first scripted television project for Arnold is unbelievably exciting for me. The thing I always marveled at was how Schwarzenegger could be funny while still kicking ass … that’s why I wanted FUBAR to be a hysterical, CIA-spy comedy mixed with heart-stopping action! And it is all that – and more. I’d love to elaborate with more details, but, sorry, it’s classified.”The post Arnold Schwarzenegger’s New Netflix Series ‘Fubar’ Premiering May 25 appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Cedric The Entertainer as Calvin and Max Greenfield as Dave. Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2022 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.When it first premiered back in 2018, The Neighborhood derived a lot of its stories and a lot of its laughs from the racial tensions when a white couple from the Midwest moved into a predominantly Black neighborhood in California. With the show now in its fifth season, though, there’s been a marked shift in the humor — as the neighbors got to know each other better, a lot of those tensions faded away; in time, everybody’s come to accept each other, and the show finds its humor in other ways. Cedric the Entertainer, who both stars in and executive produces the show, says the changes were absolutely intentional from the beginning, and he talked about how this decision was both inspired and informed by some of the classic TV shows from when he was growing up.

Disney+ reveals the official trailer and key art for the highly anticipated docu-special, “Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman,” is set to premiere globally on Disney+ on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, coinciding with U2’s highly anticipated album “Songs Of Surrender” ― a collection of 40 seminal U2 songs from across the band’s catalog, re-recorded and reimagined.In the docu-special, from Disney Branded Television, Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville captures Dave Letterman on his first visit to Dublin to hang out with Bono and The Edge in their hometown, experience Dublin, and join the two U2 musicians for a concert performance unlike any they’ve done before.From Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries, Neville’s Tremolo Productions, and Dave Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, “Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman” is part concert movie, part travel adventure plus a whole lot of Bono and The Edge, with Dave’s humor throughout.As well as the concert performance itself, the docu-special will focus on the extraordinary relationship between Bono and The Edge and how it has developed across 45-plus years of close friendship to become one of the most remarkable songwriting partnerships in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, plus document Dublin through Dave’s eyes as he experiences Bono and The Edge’s home city for the first time.Letterman, who accepted an invitation from the two U2 bandmates to join them in Dublin for his first-ever visit to Ireland, has a 25-year relationship with U2 but had previously only spent time with the Bono and The Edge in the U.S. As well as being their honored guest at an intimate concert performance at a local landmark, the former Ambassador Cinema building at the top of O’Connell Street on Dublin’s Northside, Dave embarks on his own exploration of the city. He visits the legendary Forty Foot swimming spot on a freezing cold morning and rides the DART commuter train north from Co. Wicklow. Letterman also inspires a brand new U2 song written by The Edge and Bono and narrowly escapes having to perform at a sing-song at the legendary McDaid’s pub off Grafton Street with an equally legendary bunch of artists and musicians, including Bono, The Edge, Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová, Imelda May, Loah, Saint Sister, Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C., and Dermot Kennedy, whose voice Bono describes as a “sonic boom.”U2’s new album titled “Songs Of Surrender” ― a collection of 40 seminal U2 songs from across the band’s catalog, re-recorded and reimagined for 2023 in sessions spanning the last two years, to be released in full on Friday, March 17. The first track to be made available from this brand new set of recordings is the anthemic “Pride (In The Name Of Love),” listen here. “Songs Of Surrender” is curated and produced by The Edge and sees the band revisit some of the most celebrated songs of their 40-plus year career, including “With Or Without You,” “One,” “Beautiful Day,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “Invisible,” for a musical reimagining resulting in a completely new recording of each track, to include the arrangements and, in some cases, new lyrics.The post Disney+ Released Trailer For ‘Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming With Dave Letterman’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

That hot streak, of course, started with 1997’s Titanic which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year by getting an all-new 3-D touch-up for a new re-release. Cameron, though, has been living with the film for more than 30 years, and he explained to us how he came up with the idea of making Titanic.

When you hear there’s a movie called Cocaine Bear, your first thought is that there’s some screenwriter out there who’s watched too many Sharknado movies. But, seeing as how truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, the basic premise of Cocaine Bear came from something that happened in real life, even if the story’s been altered and embellished for dramatic effect.

L to R: Vin Diesel and Daniela Melchior in FAST X, directed by Louis LeterrierWhen The Fast and the Furious was made more than 20 years ago, its budget was a meager $34 million, suggesting that even the studio and producers behind the film were hedging their bets on the film’s box-office potential. Flash forward to now, and the upcoming Fast X carried a budget estimated at $340 million and featuring an ensemble cast that includes four Oscar-winning actresses: Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Charlize Theron, and Brie Larson. Vin Diesel, who starred in the original 2001 movie and has been in most of the Fast & Furious franchise films, admits he’s a little shocked that this small-starting series about fast cars and criminals would attract so many extraordinary actors as it grew over time.

With word that writer/director James Gunn intends to reboot the Superman franchise with a brand new actor sporting the cape, our minds drifted back to our initial big-screen encounter with the Man of Steel, 1978’s Superman. While there had been a few Superman films in the ’40s and ’50s, the 1978 Superman changed everything for the franchise. At the time, it was the most expensive production ever for a movie, and it showed on the screen, with spectacular special effects, especially when it came to Superman’s flying sequences. While some of that production money went to hiring big-name stars like Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman, the actor chosen for Superman himself (and his alter ego, Clark Kent) was a relative newcomer, Christopher Reeve. Superman’s director, the late Richard Donner, once told us the amazing story of how he cast the unknown Reeve for Hollywood’s biggest movie role to date.

Joker may be the most infamous of the Batman villains, but there’s always been something special about Catwoman, who has served as both a menace and a love interest for the Caped Crusader, sometimes simultaneously. That complex relationship has attracted plenty of actresses to the role over the years; when casting was being done for Batman Returns, the competition was fierce. Originally, Annette Bening won the role, but had to drop out when she got pregnant prior to filming. With the competition once again open, Michelle Pfeiffer told us that she got an invitation to audition for director Tim Burton, and the rest was history.

There really was a “cocaine bear” — a bear that just happened to come across a duffel bag full of cocaine that had been jettisoned from a drug runner’s airplane.

Reggie, an intimate and revealing new documentary that examines the career and legacy of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and activist Reggie Jackson, will premiere March 24 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Prime Video also released a teaser in conjunction with the premiere date announcement.Reggie is the definitive, firsthand account of five-time World Series Champion, beloved New York icon, and one of baseball’s most influential superstars, Reggie Jackson, as he contemplates his legacy as a trailblazing Black athlete fighting for dignity, respect, and a seat at the table. Over the course of his life and barrier-breaking career, Jackson witnessed a dramatic shift in race relations across America: Starting his career in Birmingham at the height of the civil rights movement, moving to Oakland during the rise of the Black Panther Party, and landing in New York City as the highest-paid player in baseball as the Bronx was burning. Now, against the backdrop of today’s increasingly divided world, he sits down with fellow legends Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Hank Aaron, Derek Jeter, and more to discuss their own experiences, how far we’ve really come, and the leagues they want to leave behind for future generations.“Coming off the recent success of our Coach Prime docuseries, we’re thrilled to bring our Prime Video customers back into the world and psyche of another iconic, larger-than-life sports figure with Reggie,” said Matt Newman, head of Prime Video Original sports content. “Reggie’s impact on the game of baseball has been defined as much by the work he has done off the field as his clutch heroics on the field, and we’re very proud to be working with this living legend to tell his authoritative story.”The post Prime Video Releases Teaser Trailer For New Documentary ‘Reggie’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
Sure, the movie’s called The Flash, but as people watched the new trailer, the title character was upstaged by the return of Michael Keaton as Batman. It’s a surprising turn of events for Keaton, who played the character in 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns, then appeared to mock his involvement in the franchise while starring in the Oscar-winning film Birdman. Back in his mask and cape, Keaton believes the remarkable staying power of the Batman character comes from the idea that he’s actually a hero with no special powers at all.

As a charter member of the EGOT club (she was just the second to attain that status), Barbra Streisand has displayed her talent on the screen, on the stage, and as a musician for more than six decades. Now, at the age of 80, Streisand is putting the finishing touches on her very first memoir, My Name is Barbra, a comprehensive look back at a career that is nothing short of breathtaking. With 11 No. 1 albums, five No. 1 singles, and nine Grammy wins (not counting her Grammy Legend and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards), most people would assume that Streisand considers herself a musical artist first.

Behrs, who previously starred as the very single Caroline on 2 Broke Girls, started working on The Neighborhood — playing a wife, mother, and school principal — at about the same time she was married in real life. Behrs, who became a mother last summer, says that her role on the show, along with the friendships she’s formed on the show (especially with co-star Tichina Arnold), have helped her learned to multitask all of the new roles and responsibilities in her own life.

The Magic Mike universe, as it were, is the world of male dancers. When people talk about, say, Chippendales, there’s usually some kind of connotation or stereotype — for better or for worse — that comes with it. And when Salma Hayek Pinault was approached about taking a role in Magic Mike’s Last Dance, she admits that she had a lot of those preconceived notions, too. But, as production on the film went along, she told us she learned a lot she never expected about that world and the people in it.

As his film career has progressed, though, Bautista has been working toward expanding his repertoire to include more “serious” roles. His new film, M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin, represents a big step forward for him, and he talked to us about why this role means so much to him.

For its 25th anniversary, Titanic has gotten a makeover, with a re-release of the film, newly remastered in 4K and 3-D. With a worldwide box office total of nearly $2.2 billion, Titanic is the only film released in the 20th century that’s still listed among the top 30 all-time biggest movies (at No. 3, it’s far ahead of 1993’s Jurassic Park, at No. 31) — it’s also one of three James Cameron titles in the top four. A lot of Cameron’s commercial success can be attributed to his dedication to making his films, as he’s only directed four films in the three decades since Terminator 2: Judgment Day. And Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred in Titanic, told us that Cameron’s attention to detail was matched only by his ability as a storyteller.

At the time of its release, Starship Troopers received savage reviews and drastically underperformed at the box office. Over the course of two and a half decades, though, the film has been re-evaluated, with many modern-day reviewers declaring it a masterpiece that was misunderstood at the time.

As a science fiction movie that took place both on and off the Earth, the movie featured plenty of special effects; when the film opened, star Casper Van Dien talked to us about what it was like shooting scenes against imaginary characters that would be added through CGI.

As Rush Hour prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary later this year, Jackie Chan has publicly stated that there are talks about bringing the franchise back for a fourth installment. Though the new sequel hasn’t reached the greenlight stage yet, it would ostensibly bring back both Chan and Chris Tucker. With Tucker now in his 50s and Chan creeping up on 70, it would be interesting to see how these older versions of their characters would go about the business of fighting crime, especially in the martial arts scenes. But we have no doubt that the chemistry between the two actors would be essentially the same, and Tucker once told us that the idea of the characters’ two cultures clashing — yet coming together — was the secret ingredient that made the franchise work.

John Larroquette as Dan Fielding — (Photo by: Jordin Althaus/NBC/Warner Bros. Television)On the new revival of Night Court, John Larroquette stars as an older, wiser version of the character he played on the original show, Dan Fielding. And some of the sets, like the courtroom and judge’s chambers, have been lovingly recreated to match the original show. But, aside from that, it’s an entirely different experience for Larroquette, since he’s no longer working with any of the other cast and crew from the original show. That means he’s had to establish new working relationships with a whole new group of people — most importantly, his new co-stars.

By the time he made The Matrix, Keanu Reeves was already one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. And, if anything, The Matrix seemed more of a risk than a guarantee of superstardom. After all, the script was a mind-blowing science fiction story from a pair of writer/directors, the Wachowskis, whose first movie, while critically acclaimed, struggled to break even at the box office. But The Matrix managed to defy expectations, not only becoming a box office smash, but also establishing itself as part of pop culture, with a franchise that extended to include four films, three video games, and several comic books. Reeves, who has starred in all of the Matrix movies, told us he’s been as surprised as anybody else at what the franchise has become over the years.

After starring in Spider-Man 3 in 2007, Tobey Maguire always figured he’d be back for more. But then, after the franchise rebooted twice, first with Andrew Garfield and then with Tom Holland, he figured his time had come and gone forever. However, the introduction of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe gave him a chance to return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home and, after putting on the old costume again, he’s been bitten by the Spidey bug, so to speak. He says he would love to return for a fifth movie, whether it’s one of his own or part of another multiverse effort. But he clearly missed the fun he’d had being Spider-Man and hopes to do it again.

The role — a former assassin who seeks vengeance on a team of ex-colleagues who tried to kill her — was a particularly demanding one, both in its emotional complexity and the types of stunts she would be required to do. Of course, the movie wound up being split into two halves that were filmed together, so it was a long, grueling shoot as well. Speaking at the time of the first film’s release, Thurman talked to us about how Kill Bill was more difficult than anything she’d done before.

Director James Cameron behind the scenes of 20th Century Studios’ AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. Photo courtesy of Mark Fellman. © 2022 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved.Made in 1997, James Cameron’s Titanic was originally shot before the new 3-D revolution began, but that didn’t stop Cameron and a post-production team from creating a 3-D version, which was released in 2012. And next month, a newly remastered 3-D 4K cut of Titanic will be released in theaters. Since the original film was shot in 2-D, it was a painstaking effort to create the later 3-D releases, and the 2012 release — though impressive-looking — had some glaring imperfections. That’s not the case, however, with Cameron’s Avatar series, which was shot and produced with 3-D in mind. And Cameron says that the latest film, Avatar: The Way of Water, is one that looks amazing in 3-D.

Credit:: HGTVPopular newlyweds and real estate power couple, Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae El Moussa have faced a myriad of exciting life-changing events, including a new working relationship and a baby on the way, and HGTV’s new follow-doc series The Flipping El Moussas has the whole family getting in on the action. Premiering Thursday, March 2, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV and available to stream the same day on discovery+, fans will have a front-row seat as the family navigates ultrasound appointments, family time and high-end flips throughout the 10-episode run. In the series, Heather Rae is introduced to Tarek’s flipping business, a very different world from the luxe real-estate market she knows so well. But she helps him make strategic choices with her deep knowledge of luxury real-estate to attract upscale buyers. Tarek will keep everything on budget and on schedule by following his “four Fs of flipping” – find it, fund it, fix it and flip it – to make each flip a success. With a plethora of new adventures awaiting them, the season will be a nonstop whirlwind of flipping challenges and family celebrations.“We are ecstatic that we will flip some next-level homes in spectacular locations, all while getting to spend more time together as a family,” said Tarek. “We’ll have some battles of budget versus design choices, but in the end it will make us stronger in business and in life as we navigate our busy lives as we await our new baby boy,” added Heather Rae.The series premiere features a massive project in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. The jaw-dropping view is a selling point, but the charm ends there. To be profitable, the flip requires a change up of the floor plan and added chic finishes that will deliver top-dollar sales. In the midst of juggling contractor appointments and site visits, Tarek and Heather Rae will need to fit in a very important ultrasound appointment to check on their baby’s progress.The post ‘The Flipping El Moussas’ with Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa Premiering March 2 On HGTV appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Though its $505 million worldwide box office gross seems meager by today’s inflated standards, Ghost was actually the third-highest grossing film of all time upon its 1990 release, behind only E.T. and Star Wars. It was a film that not only captured audiences’ imaginations, but also earned critical acclaim, winning two Academy Awards out of its five nominations. Now there’s word that Channing Tatum has acquired the rights to a Ghost remake, in which he would star in the role originally played by the late Patrick Swayze. Thanks to Dirty Dancing, Swayze was already a big star, but Ghost, of course, became the actor’s top-grossing film, and also landed him the honor of People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 1991.

Rita Moreno plays Maura, Jane Fonda plays Trish, Lily Tomlin plays Lou and Sally Field plays Betty in 80 For Brady from Paramount Pictures.With his current team already knocked out of the NFL playoffs, the only way to see Tom Brady on a big screen in February is to go see the movie 80 For Brady, a comedy about four older women who idolize Brady and make their way to Houston to see him play in 2017’s Super Bowl LI (which Brady’s New England Patriots won, beating the Atlanta Falcons 34-28).

(Photo by Gerardo Mora/Getty Images for Disney) Local Caption John WilliamsWhen it comes to scoring films, one Hollywood name stands above all the rest: John Williams. After starting his career as an orchestrator and session musician, he scored his first film at the age of 26. In a couple of weeks, Williams will reach his 91st birthday, and he’s still going strong, as he’s currently working on producer Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and says he’s hoping to continue working on projects after that. Williams and Spielberg, of course, share a special bond, as Williams has written the scores for nearly every Spielberg-directed film, going back to Spielberg’s 1974 debut, The Sugarland Express. Now, Spielberg is one of the high-profile producers attached to a documentary that will put the spotlight on Williams and his incredible career. When we had the opportunity to speak with Williams, he told us about first catching the music bug when he was just a child, and how he never expected it to become his life’s work.

It seems nearly impossible to fathom that Breaking Bad is already 15 years old, but it’s true: The first episode aired on January 20, 2008. Over the course of its five seasons, Breaking Bad wound up becoming one of the most revered television series of all time, receiving nearly unanimous acclaim from critics and earning scores of repeat viewings from fans. (Of course, it also spawned an equally acclaimed prequel series, Better Call Saul, along with a sequel film, El Camino.) With his work on the series, Bryan Cranston made a strong case for himself as one of the greatest actors ever to grace the small screen. But, as good as he was, Cranston was more likely to give credit to others. Speaking to us during the show’s run, he attributed the show’s success to scripts that had him on the edge of his seat, waiting to find out what would happen next to Walter White.

BEL-AIR -abari Banks as Will, Olly Sholotan as Carlton (Photo by: Casey Durkin/PEACOCK)Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Peacock’s successful one-hour drama series Bel-Air imagines the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. As these two worlds collide, Will reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions, and biases of a world far different from the only one he’s ever known.Season two of Bel-Air picks up with Will at a crossroads in his life as a new figure comes into his life who challenges what he’s learned in Bel-Air and competes for control of his influence. He juggles this while navigating his home life with the Banks family and trying to rebuild the trust that was broken at the end of last season. We’ll see Will and Carlton’s brotherhood start to evolve as they grow closer, but still challenge each other about their differences. We’ll also see Hilary evolve as she becomes more of a boss in her influencer world and how that spills over into her relationship with Jazz, and also highlight the relatable struggles around Viv and Phil balancing marriage and family while trying to forge their own career paths and reconnect to the things that are important to them.Inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ’90s sitcom, Bel-Air takes a fresh and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey through a current lens. The series features an ensemble cast that introduces new sensation Jabari Banks as Will and a creative team that includes showrunner, executive producer and writer Carla Banks Waddles and Cooper, who serves as executive producer.Tatyana Ali Who Played Ashley Banks in the Original The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will Make a Recurring Guest Star AppearanceWith a Record-Setting First Season, Peacock’s BEL-AIR is Back for Season 2 Premiering Exclusively on Peacock February 23 with New Episodes Airing Weekly on ThursdaysThe post Peacock Releases ‘Bel-Air’ Season 2 Trailer appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950’s. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life-lessons; Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is the girl next door, starting to question everything about her perfect life – including her controlling mother Alice (Madchen Amick); Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) is a Hollywood starlet who moved to Riverdale under mysterious circumstances; Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the Queen Bee with a withering wit and a secret longing; Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) is an activist fighting for the Black students of recently integrated Riverdale High; Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) is a “square” crooner wrestling with his sexual identity; Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton) is a basketball star from farm country; and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) is a greaser who’s destined to be an Elvis-type star. It isn’t until Jughead is visited by Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook) – Riverdale’s Guardian Angel – that he learns the cosmic truth about their predicament. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950’s forever?

All Rights Reserved.In the summer of 2017, James Cameron approached Kate Winslet with another job offer: to join the cast of his Avatar sequel. Of course, they’d worked together before, when Titanic became the first blockbuster hit of Winslet’s career, raising her Hollywood profile exponentially. Teaming up again 20 years later for Avatar: The Way of Water was a much different experience, Cameron told us, partially because Winslet has become much more accustomed to working on big movies in the years since Titanic.

Over the years, there have been plenty of rumors circulated that there would finally be a sequel to 1985’s The Goonies, and cast members keep talking about how they’d like to reunite for another film. (Of course, there was an online reunion in 2020 when many of the actors participated in a virtual table read of the film’s script for a charity event. While that contributed no solid evidence toward a sequel going through, it did, at least, show the cast members’ love of and willingness to participate in Goonies-related activities.) Some of the cast members have been more proactive than others in pushing for a sequel to happen. In fact, speaking a few years ago at a fan event, Corey Feldman and Sean Astin said they’d actually pitched a story for a Goonies sequel to the powers that be.

Those two seasons, though, led the show to its third and final season, which does reunite the original seven principals of TNG, along with Star Trek: Voyager mainstay Jeri Ryan, who’s been with Picard since its first season. And the reunion happened with the blessing of Stewart explains he had a change of heart about whether the crew of the Enterprise should reassemble.

Brendan Fraser has been getting a lot of talk lately for his performance in The Whale, considered to be his comeback film after a long line of box-office disappointments. But, for a while back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, Fraser was one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. One of the films he made during that period was Bedazzled, a remake of a ’60s comedy; while it wasn’t a big hit at the time, it’s taken on a new life as a cult classic. In the film, he tries to win the heart of a woman with a little help from the devil, who grants him several wishes that, of course, aren’t quite what they seem. The object of his affections in the film was played by Frances O’Connor and, when they made the film, Fraser said he was amazed by what a versatile actor O’Connor was.

But with Melissa Rauch starring (and producing the show) as the daughter of the original Night Court judge, Harry T. Stone, who’s followed in her father’s footsteps — literally — to the same courtroom he once presided over, and John Larrouquette back in the role of Dan Fielding, Rauch told us it’s more of a continuation of the Night Court story.

TOKYO, JAPAN – DECEMBER 10: Zoe Saldana attends the “Avatar: The Way of Water” Japan Premiere at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya on December 10, 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Christopher Jue/Getty Images for Disney)When Zoe Saldana starred in the 2009 blockbuster Avatar, she had to learn an entirely new acting skill: acting in a motion-capture environment. That, of course, was essential to the way director James Cameron created the world of Pandora and its inhabitants. When it came time to shoot the sequel, though, Cameron upped the degree of difficulty for Saldana and many of the other actors. For Avatar: The Way of Water, not only would they once again be performing in motion-capture suits, they would be doing it underwater! Saldana told us that even the preparation was grueling, as she and the other actors had to train for their lengthy underwater sequences.

© 2022 Orion Releasing LLC. All Rights Reserved.Women Talking is based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Miriam Toevs, which, although fictional, was based on events that actually happened in a Bolivian Mennonite colony.

So, when filmmaker Sarah Polley read the book about women who were being sexually assaulted by the men in their colony, she was more than just a little intrigued.

When British and Australian actors drop their accents and play American characters, it seems like nobody bats an eye. But that wasn’t the case when Texas-born Renée Zellweger was cast as the title character in 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary. There was plenty of debate over whether an American should play such a uniquely British character; at the end of the day, though, Zellweger’s performance was — as the Brits would say — spot on, even earning her an Oscar nomination. At the time of the movie’s opening, we spoke to Zellweger and asked whether all that controversy made her nervous about the role or helped to motivate her.

Barry Manilow built much of his ’70s breakthrough success on his reputation as a great live performer.

And, 50 years after his debut album was released, Manilow is still performing live — he’ll be playing half a dozen shows this month in the southeast U.S. before returning to his residency at the Westgate Resort in Las Vegas, where he’ll perform more than 60 times this year. (Not bad for a guy who will be turning 80 in June, right?)

But, to make a new movie about old Hollywood, director Damien Chazelle insisted on shooting with old-fashioned film. Margot Robbie, one of the film’s stars, told us she found the experience to be much different than shooting with digital cameras, and she really appreciated that difference.

© 2022 DreamWorks Animation. All Rights Reserved.In the Shrek series and in his own films, the Puss in Boots character looks like a cat, but he certainly doesn’t sound like a cat. In fact, he sounds suspiciously like actor Antonio Banderas. That makes sense, of course, since Banderas provides the character’s voice. But even Banderas points out that the character doesn’t sound anything like he looks. When he was working on developing the character’s sound, Banderas told us, he and the producers intentionally decided to use that mismatch for comedic effect.

1997’s Face/Off found John Travolta at the height of his first career resurgence, which began with 1994’s Pulp Fiction (and ended with 2000’s unfortunate Battlefield Earth). Face/Off, from acclaimed action director John Woo, found Travolta and Nicolas Cage starring in a deliciously twisted story of stolen identities. With Travolta and Cage essentially playing each other’s character for a good part of the film, there were plenty of opportunities for them to have fun with their scenes … and they did. Speaking about the film a few years ago, Travolta talked about the Face/Off scenes he enjoyed the most.

Frasier Crane is a gift that has kept on giving for Kelsey Grammer. The character was originally created as yet another way of driving a wedge between star-crossed lovers Sam Malone and Diane Chambers on Cheers, and the audience, naturally, was supposed to root for Sam. But a funny thing happened — viewers fell in love with the Frasier Crane character. Not only did the character stay with Cheers until the very end of the show, but he also got his own spin-off series, Frasier. All told, Grammer played Frasier Crane on television for 20 seasons … and he’s not done yet. There’s a reboot currently in production, so there will be at least another 10 episodes, with possibly more to come if the reboot is successful (and, let’s be honest, why wouldn’t it be?). For his part, Grammer looks at Frasier as the role he was born to play, and he told us there are similar arcs running through both his and Frasier’s lives.

Naomi Ackie in TRISTAR pictures I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODYThe idea that I Wanna Dance with Somebody would reintroduce the world to Whitney Houston’s music, at first, seems preposterous. After all, Houston’s collection of hit songs — 11 No. 1 songs and 29 that hit the Top 40 — have never left the airwaves, playing on a wide variety of radio formats. But have we taken Houston and those songs for granted? That’s certainly a possibility. And Naomi Ackie, who plays Houston in the new biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody, hopes that seeing and hearing some of Houston’s hits on the big screen will restore those songs to a prominent place in the public’s consciousness.

When it comes to horror movies, The Exorcist still ranks right up there in a lot of film fans’ top 10, and for good reason. The movie, which featured young Linda Blair as a girl who becomes possessed by demons, was the first horror movie to earn a nomination for a Best Picture Oscar, and it remains as terrifying today as it was back then. Of course, in 1973, the kind of computer graphic wizardry that creates today’s special effects was nonexistent, and Blair told us that the process of doing her special effects scenes — with a wide range of makeup and prosthetics — was a very difficult one for her.

When Will Ferrell went to college, he went to journalism school, where he was surrounded by classmates who went on to become reporters and anchors at both the local and national level. So it should have come as little surprise that, as he was dreaming up new characters to play, Ferrell would come up with the dim-witted, self-absorbed newsman at the center of 2004’s Anchorman: The Legend of RonBurgundy. While the film performed respectably at the box office, it wasn’t the kind of blockbuster that immediately gets a sequel greenlit, so Ferrell moved on to other characters and other movies. But he felt like he had unfinished business with Burgundy, so he returned to the character nine years later for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. At the time, Ferrell explains why he felt like he needed to make an Anchorman sequel.

After Mr. T found unexpected overnight success thanks to his scene-stealing performance in Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky III, television was quick to come calling, looking to capitalize.

Blake Lively has only appeared in one primetime television show over the course of her career, but it was a big one: She starred in Gossip Girl, which ran for six seasons on The CW. Prior to joining the show, she’d already had success as a film actor (most notably in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), but she’d managed to hold onto her relative anonymity. But with Gossip Girl came plenty of tabloid attention — first when she started dating Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgely, then when she started dating now-husband Ryan Reynolds. All of a sudden, Lively told us, she found herself with almost no privacy in public, which definitely took her by surprise.

Twenty years ago, one of the Christmas Day movie offerings was a new Steven Spielberg movie, a biographical crime movie called Catch Me If You Can. Based on the memoir by notorious con man Frank Abagnale Jr., it featured Leonardo DiCaprio in the starring role and Tom Hanks as the FBI agent trying to track him down. (Another co-star, Christopher Walken as Abagnale’s father, got an Oscar nomination for his performance.) To prepare for the role, DiCaprio got to know the real Abagnale, and in meeting with him several times, he said he started to understand that Abagnale was a terrific actor himself and that, to play him, he needed to rely more on his own instinct.(Click on the media bar below to hear Leonardo DiCaprio)https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Leonardo_DiCaprio_Catch_Me_If_you_Can_.mp3Catch Me If You Can is currently streaming on Paramount+ and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.The post Leonardo DiCaprio Caught On To ‘Catch Me’s’ Con Man appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
This television season, there was a network that tried to launch a drama set against the backdrop of the country music business. It failed miserably. By contrast, the show Nashville lasted for six seasons — the first four on ABC, the final two on CMT — and won critical acclaim in doing so. How did it succeed where others failed?

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022). Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. Cr. John Wilson/Netflix © 2022.When writer/director Rian Johnson made Knives Out over the course of 2018 and 2019, it was a labor of love. It was a film he’d had in the back of his mind since 2005, but his various commitments — including Star Wars: The Last Jedi — kept him from making the film for more than a decade. When he finally did get it made, it became a surprise hit, both with audiences and critics, and even earned Johnson an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. Now, the question is, “Can lightning strike twice?” After the massive success of Knives Out, Netflix laid out an exorbitant amount of money for two sequels; the first of them, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, has just premiered on the platform. And, according to its star, Daniel Craig, Johnson’s magic has prevailed again, which is why he was so excited to get on board for the sequel.

TOKYO, JAPAN – DECEMBER 10: James Cameron speaks during the “Avatar: The Way of Water” Japan Premiere at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya on December 10, 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Christopher Jue/Getty Images for Disney)It’s been a long time since James Cameron has been involved with the Terminator franchise. After co-writing and directing the first two films — The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day — Cameron stepped away from the franchise he created, diving into time-consuming projects like Titanic and Avatar while the Terminator franchise generated four more films, three without any input from him whatsoever. But Cameron, speaking recently on a podcast, expressed interest in possibly rebooting the franchise and getting involved once again. While fans would be thrilled, any return would mark a serious about-face from Cameron, who — when Terminator 2 was released — sounded like a man who was ready to say “hasta la vista” to Terminators for good.

While viewers and critics have been heaping praise — and deservedly so — on Weird Al Yankovic’s Weird as a film that skewers the excesses of music biopics, we can’t overlook the 2007 film that laid the groundwork for it: Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Co-written by Judd Apatow and director Jake Kasdan, it told the story of a fictional rock star, played by John C. Reilly, and his soap opera/roller coaster of a career. With a spectacular cast and plenty of cameos from real-life rock stars, including Eddie Vedder, Jackson Browne, and Lyle Lovett, it’s hard to believe the film wasn’t a box office hit. But, over the years, Walk Hard has become a cult classic. Reilly, who was a guitarist and singer even before he was cast in the film, told us he really appreciated the way some of rock and roll’s most outrageous true stories were lovingly parodied in the film.

Jeremiah Johnson may not have been the film that made Robert Redford a star. And it wasn’t even his first — or best-known, for that matter — Western movie. Nor was it the film that earned him an Oscar nomination for his acting. But the film, which stars Redford as a soldier who takes up life as a mountain man living in the Rockies, does hold a special place in Redford’s heart because, of all the movies he’s done over a career that dates back over 60 years, Jeremiah Johnson is still the one that feels most personal to him.

When Tom Cruise filmed the first Mission: Impossible movie, he was still in his early 30s. And, given his affinity for action and realism, he was more than happy to learn how to do his own stunts in the film. That’s a trait which has continued through the entire Mission: Impossible series, even as Cruise has gracefully advanced into middle age (he turned 60 earlier this year). You will see him doing more of those stunts in the next two sequels — Dead Reckoning Part One (coming next summer) and Dead Reckoning Part Two (due in 2024). When we spoke to Cruise at the time of Mission: Impossible — Fallout’s release four years ago, he explained to us why it’s so important to him that he does those stunts.

Iron Man is officially history. Well, to be more precise, Iron Man is officially historic. It has been inducted into the National Film Registry, the first of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films to have received that honor from the Library of Congress. Of course, Iron Man wound up being the film that put the whole MCU in motion but, at the time, the people involved were just hoping to make one successful movie.

When you think of Hollywood’s great on-screen comedy duos, some obvious choices come to mind, like Abbott & Costello or Laurel & Hardy. But for film fans who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, there was another duo that was just as potent: Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. With impeccable comic timing and the kind of chemistry that can only happen naturally, Wilder and Pryor were always fun to watch, even when they were working with subpar material. Of course, when they were working with a great script — like they did with Silver Streak — the result was one of the all-time classic comedies, one which made the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 funniest films ever made. Before his death, Wilder talked to us about his collaborations with Pryor and the magic that resulted when they worked together.

All Rights Reserved.When a film becomes the top-grossing film of all time, like Avatar did nearly 13 years ago, expectations for a sequel would naturally be high. And when a film was a technologically advanced and as visually striking as Avatar was, that brings another set of expectations into the equation. And, especially given the amount of time between the original and the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, the pressure was on for writer/director James Cameron to deliver. The one thing that made Cameron’s job easier knowing that, when audiences go to the theater to see the new film, they’ll be ready to lose themselves in the Avatar world once again.

Sylvester Stallone as Dwight “The General” Manfredi of the Paramount+ original series TULSA KING. Photo Cr: Walter Thomson/Paramount+. © 2022 Viacom International Inc. All Rights Reserved.In “old Hollywood,” there was a line between television and movies. Once you’d crossed over the line from TV to the big screen, you’d “made it,” and you would never go back. But in “new Hollywood,” the rules have changed — the quality of shows being made in what’s being called “the new Golden Age of television” has attracted A-list movie stars to participate in small-screen productions. Sylvester Stallone is one of the latest to make that move, starring in the new Paramount+ series Tulsa King, about an old mafia boss who tries to restart his business (yes, in Tulsa, Oklahoma) after he’s released from prison. For Stallone, whose television acting credits up until now had mostly consisted of guest starring roles on old TV dramas, it was an eye-opening experience, as he discovered how much the quality of TV production has changed over the years.

Shot on a budget of only $3.5 million, nobody expected Saturday Night Fever to explode into a cultural phenomenon, but that’s exactly what happened. Piggybacking on John Travolta’s Welcome Back, Kotter fame, the film finished behind only Close Encounters of the Third Kind in its opening weekend. (It later rose to the top spot, and it went on to gross nearly $95 million at the U.S. box office.) As the film celebrates its 45th anniversary today, Travolta looks back on Saturday Night Fever with great memories, and he told us it was a real turning point in a career that he’d started at such a young age.

Over the course of eight seasons, a TV movie, and a 12-episode event series, audiences spent a lot of time connecting with the Jack Bauer character on 24. Sometimes flawed and vulnerable, other times seemingly invincible, the character resonated with Americans who were coming to terms with a post-9/11 world and found his heroism to be cathartic. But that’s just our interpretation of the character’s appeal. What does Kiefer Sutherland, who starred as Bauer, think about his character’s appeal? Well, he told us it’s hard for him to say, and that different things appeal to different fans, but he talked about some of the things he personally found interesting about the character.

This year marks ten years since Django Unchained was released. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, it featured a large ensemble cast that included Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz (who won an Oscar in his role), Kerry Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio. It was DiCaprio’s first time working with Tarantino (they would collaborate again on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), but DiCaprio was initially hesitant about playing a character who was overtly cruel and racist.

Before they had established themselves as A-list actors, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck had to write parts for themselves in the screenplays they were creating. Of course, it helped that they had talent as writers; in fact the two of them won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for their 1997 film Good Will Hunting, which also got a Best Picture nomination and scored Robin Williams an Oscar for his performance. Looking back at those days, Damon told us about the process he and Affleck went through to finish that Oscar-winning script.

When Reiser and co-creator Danny Jacobson first pitched the idea to NBC, Reiser told us, they didn’t even reference any other comedies, because they wanted the show to look and feel different.

By the time the ’90s had begun, Tom Cruise was already one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, with numerous box office hits under his belt. He’d also found critical acclaim, too, earning a lot of respect for his roles in films like Rain Man and Born on the Fourth of July, for which he even got his first Oscar nomination. So when director Rob Reiner approached Cruise with the idea of a starring role in a new movie — based on a stage play, no less — in which he’d be playing against Jack Nicholson, it was too good to pass up. A Few Good Men wound up with four Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture. A Few Good Men was released 30 years ago and, at the time, Cruise talked to us about figuring out how to play the character of military lawyer Daniel Kaffee.

After two decades, Tracy Flick is getting a second movie. The character, played to perfection by Reese Witherspoon in 1999’s Election, will appear in a new sequel called Tracy Flick Can’t Win, with both Witherspoon and Election writer/director Alexander Payne returning for the new film. In the sequel, Flick will still be in school — not as a student, but as an administrator. And, as the title of the film implies, while she still hasn’t lost her sense of idealism, she hasn’t won much of anything, either. Ironically, when Witherspoon first played the role in Election, she told us she was under the impression that Tracy Flick would be one of life’s winners.

Of course, as that kid grew up, he found ways of making those dreams come true. For Spielberg in real life, part of that effort was, well, a bit devious. As he told us, when he was still a teenager, he faked his way onto the Universal Studios lot, pretending to be a young studio executive. And, when that worked, he pushed the deception even further … by giving himself an office on the lot!

Friday Night Lights started life as a book, then became a movie, and finally morphed into a long-running television show.

So, when it came to shooting the series, star Connie Britton once told us that the show’s secret weapon was the fact that the show was actually being shot in Texas, which provided the cast and crew with a sense of authenticity in several ways.

Season one, which has a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and received seven Emmy nominations, averaged over 5 million weekly viewers across platforms and was the second-most streamed series in SHOWTIME history.

Jim Carrey in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 from Paramount Pictures and Sega. Photo Credit: Courtesy Paramount Pictures and Sega of America. Considering that the Sonic the Hedgehog character has been around for more than 20 years and sold more than 140 million video games, it’s safe to say he’s got a pretty large legion of fans. Because of that, the producers of the Sonic the Hedgehog films knew they’d have to walk a fine line, creating a look and a story that would not only make for a great movie, but also be appealing to that huge built-in fan base. Jim Carrey, who’s starred in both movies as Sonic’s nemesis, the evil Dr. Robotnik, says he thinks the creative team did a great job of walking that line in the first movie, and now that they’re on the second, he feels like Sonic’s gamer fans have been completely satisfied.

The first season of The Flight Attendant was one of 2020’s most talked-about TV series, and it was rewarded with nine Emmy Award nominations the following year. Kaley Cuoco was one of those nominees, both as a producer and as the show’s star. The role of Cassie was an unexpected one from Cuoco, who made her name in a pair of long-running sitcoms, 8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory. The Flight Attendant revealed a completely new side of Cuoco as an actor, and she told us she was grateful that the show’s writers have given her some (literally) insanely good material to work with, both in the first season and the just-premiered second season.

SHOWTIME has released the trailer for the third season of COUPLES THERAPY, the acclaimed documentary series following world-renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik as she guides couples through real-life therapy sessions. The extended third season – split into two distinct runs – will premiere Friday, May 13th at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with the first nine episodes airing this spring and additional episodes airing at a later date. Episodes will air back-to-back each Friday at 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET/PT for four weeks, with the mid-season finale airing June 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. All nine episodes will also release on demand and on streaming platforms for SHOWTIME subscribers on May 13. COUPLES THERAPY brings viewers into therapy sessions with Dr. Guralnik, as she deftly guides couples through the struggles – and extraordinary breakthroughs – typically hidden behind closed doors. The third season features four new captivating couples working through intense conflicts: a Broadway dancer and preacher’s grandson struggle to escape an endless cycle of conflict after the birth of their daughter; the loss of intimacy in an open marriage forces a wife to reckon with her anger, while her husband resists acknowledging the part he plays; a mother of two must learn to hear her partner’s cries for help or risk losing her altogether; and a decades-long relationship tears at the emotional scar tissue caused by years of betrayal.

It’s highly unlikely that Christopher Lloyd inspired a new generation of cab drivers with his portrayal of Jim Ignatowski on the series Taxi. But his role as Dr. Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future movies was a different story. Even though he was playing a highly eccentric scientist (and had hair that was even more outrageous than it was on Taxi), people saw in him a kind-hearted, well-meaning, and ultimately brilliant man. And, over the years, Lloyd told us he’s met plenty of fans who not only loved Doc Brown, but were inspired to pursue scientific careers because of him.

David Hyde Pierce has been earning plenty of praise for his co-starring role in the new HBO Max drama Julia, based on the life of renowned chef, author, and television personality Julia Child. Pierce plays Paul Child, who — while not as famous as his wife — lived a life that was every bit as interesting. He was a government employee who took assignments in several different countries, a photographer, an artist, a writer, and even a designer who famously constructed the home kitchen used as the setting for several of his wife’s TV shows. There were certainly plenty of reasons why Pierce would consider playing the role, and he told us the primary reason why he was so excited about joining the project.

Zoë Kravitz has had plenty of experience in superhero movies, even if she wasn’t always on the screen. Of course, she starred as Angel Salvadore (and her alter-ego, Tempest) in X-Men: First Class, but she’s also voiced the character of Mary Jane Watson in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and, more significantly, the character of Selina Kyle (and Catwoman) in The Lego Batman Movie. So it comes as no surprise that she was considered for the same role in the latest live-action film to feature the Dark Knight, The Batman. Matt Reeves, who directed, co-wrote, and co-produced the film, talked to us about the process of casting Kravitz in the key role.

CHICAGO P.D. — Jason Beghe as Hank Voight — (Photo by: Lori Allen/NBC) Over the course of his career, Jason Beghe has appeared on dozens of television shows, and he’s played a recurring role on more than 20 of them. But none of those roles can even come close to Sgt. Hank Voight — he’s played the role on close to 200 episodes of television. Of course, he’s one of the leaders of Chicago P.D.’s ensemble cast, but he’s also appeared as Voight on three other Chicago shows and on Law & Order: SVU. Over the span of nearly 10 years since the character first appeared on Chicago Fire, Voight has grown and changed in plenty of ways. Beghe’s been pleased to see Voight evolve over the years, and he told us what he’s enjoyed most about those changes. Chicago P.D. airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Peacock.

Dylan McDermott is trying to pull off the television equivalent of a high-wire act: He’s making the transition from playing a bad guy — a really bad guy — on one popular primetime drama (Law & Order: Organized Crime) to playing one of the good guys on another popular primetime drama (FBI: Most Wanted). It’s an opportunity he most likely wouldn’t have gotten had both shows not been produced by the same person, Dick Wolf.

If you became an Anya Taylor-Joy fan while watching The Queen’s Gambit, you’ll definitely have to prepare yourself for The Northman.

AMERICAN IDOL- (ABC/Eric McCandless) LUKE BRYAN Ever since American Idol premiered 20 years ago, it’s been delivering memorable performances and incredible moments.

AMERICAN SONG CONTEST : Kelly Clarkson — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC) Ever since Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol 20 years ago, the airwaves (and cable streams) have been flooded with all kinds of music-oriented competition shows. So now that Clarkson is hosting a new competition, American Song Contest, it’s certainly fair to ask how this show is different from the multitude of shows that preceded it. The answer, Clarkson told us, is simple: Because the contest features performers from all around the country, you’re going to see an incredible diversity in the styles and performances, and you’ll also have somebody local to root for.

Talented and ambitious sous chefs step into the Chopped Kitchen for a chance at securing a life-changing opportunity in the new five-part tournament, Chopped: Desperately Seeking Sous Chef, premiering Tuesday, May 31st at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network. Hosted by the venerable Ted Allen, each episode of the tournament features four chefs showcasing their culinary skills over three rounds – appetizer, entrée, and dessert – as they are challenged to utilize the mystery basket of ingredients and create breathtaking dishes to impress judges Maneet Chauhan, Scott Conant and Chris Santos. The judges are critiquing the chefs’ cooking skills along with their attitude, leadership, and ability to multitask to determine who has what it takes to make it to the finale for a chance at winning the title of grand champion and a job offer by Scott, Maneet or Chris to join their restaurants as a sous chef. Never have the Chopped judges had so much to lose and the chefs so much to gain. To succeed, the 16 chefs must have the stamina and strength to handle the pressure of the most prominent kitchens in America with just one chance to prove they are worthy of this opportunity. After the final elimination, the victorious chef gets to choose which enticing path to take from either Scott, Maneet and Chris. There hasn’t been a moment like this in Chopped history, with every part of the competition being the toughest job interview of these chefs’ lives. “Chopped continues to push the boundaries with its competition format, with viewers tuning in each week for its compelling challenges, expert critique and pulse-racing entertainment,” said Courtney White, President, Food Network and Streaming Food Content, Discovery Inc. “The winner walking away with a life-altering opportunity from Chris, Maneet or Scott, all titans in their industry, is the ultimate Chopped prize.” Throughout the competition the hungry chefs bring everything they have to the kitchen to show off their culinary techniques for their dream job. During the preliminary battles, the chefs must tackle an appetizer basket that includes fish-shaped cakes and a whole plant-based chicken, while a cut of meat proves problematic to work with in the entrée round that have the chefs scrambling to get dinner on the table for a potential future boss. In a dessert round, the judges wonder what to expect when they bite into caponata and galaxy gelatin cake as ingredients. Tensions are high as the four chefs who make it to the finale open the appetizer basket and find a fusion pasta and a delicacy from the sea. A specialty of Naples is the curveball ingredient of a difficult entrée basket, then, in the dessert round, a stinky fruit and a spicy ice cream are a part of the culinary puzzle. Fans can get to know the competing chefs and get a sneak peek at some of the mystery basket ingredients at FoodNetwork.com/Chopped.

Mads Mikkelsen had his work cut out for him. Yes, he’d just landed a role in a sure-fire blockbuster movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The difficult part? He was taking over the role of Gellert Grindelwald after three-time Oscar nominee Johnny Depp had to bow out of the production.

Because her husband served as President for more than three terms, Eleanor Roosevelt served the United States as First Lady longer than any other, and she’s one of the most beloved and admired women to hold the title.

The highly anticipated spinoff series Bosch: Legacy released an extended trailer for its upcoming first season. Bosch: Legacy is the the first Original series to debut under Amazon Freevee, the new name for IMDb TV beginning April 27. In the new trailer, fans get a closer look at how Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) and Money Chandler’s (Mimi Rogers) relationship has evolved as they both begin new chapters following the Carl Rogers case that shifted the dynamic of all their lives. The first four episodes of the series will be available beginning May 6, with two new episodes available each Friday through May 27. Additionally, starting April 22, all seven seasons of the Prime Video Original Bosch will be available to watch on Amazon’s free streaming service. A Bosch FAST channel will also launch on April 22, allowing fans to continuously enjoy the program in an experience similar to broadcast television. The Bosch channel will join more than 60 other FAST channels on the service including thematically programmed ones such as popular movies and TV shows, comedy hits, and animated favorites, and recently added channels for Judy Justice, Forensic Files, and Unsolved Mysteries. “With meaningful storytelling and distinctive characters, Bosch: Legacy is the ideal first Original to debut under our new brand,” said Lauren Anderson and Ryan Pirozzi, co-heads of content and programming for Freevee. “We look forward to sharing this new chapter with fans, and are thrilled to provide both loyal and new viewers the ability to watch all seven seasons of Bosch, available for free for the first time, both on demand and as a FAST channel on Amazon Freevee.” Loosely based on the novel The Wrong Side of Goodbye from acclaimed author Michael Connelly, and a spinoff of the longest-running Prime Video Original Bosch, the first season of Bosch: Legacy follows former LAPD detective Harry Bosch as he begins a new chapter as a private investigator. His first job calls him to the estate of ailing billionaire Whitney Vance, where Bosch is tasked with finding Vance’s only potential heir. Along the way, Bosch finds himself clashing with powerful figures who have a vested interest in the heir not being found. Researching the family tree, Bosch uncovers shocking revelations that span generations, all while billions of dollars remain on the line. Without the badge and a preference for old-school tactics, Bosch finds an invaluable resource in Maurice “Mo” Bassi (Stephen A. Chang, Captain Marvel), a tech-forward gadget whiz who shares Bosch’s commitment to justice and fondness for smooth jazz. Honey “Money” Chandler, reeling from the mistrial of Carl Rogers, is determined to bring Rogers to justice. In an unlikely alliance, Chandler and Bosch team up to conquer Rogers. But he has a long list of enemies, including the Russian Bratva, who are growing impatient on a promise Rogers made them. Following in her father’s footsteps, Maddie Bosch (Madison Lintz), a rookie patrol officer with the LAPD, is paired with Reina Vasquez (Denise Sanchez, The Good Place), a no-nonsense, hard-charging training officer. As Maddie patrols the streets of Los Angeles, she grapples with what kind of cop she wants to be. Her father – who continues to live by the code that everybody counts, or nobody counts – believes the issue is clear: Being a cop is either a mission or just a job.

Where would Batman be without his loyal butler and confidante, Alfred Pennyworth? He’s been part of the Batman media franchise since the early 1940s, when he was introduced in the DC comic books, and he’s been portrayed on the big and small screens by a wide variety of actors, including Oscar winners Michael Caine (The Dark Knight trilogy) and Jeremy Irons (DC Extended Universe films), Ralph Fiennes (The Lego Batman Movie), Michael Gough (Tim Burton’s Batman films), Sean Pertwee (Gotham), and Alan Napier (’60s TV Batman), just to name a few. So, when Andy Serkis learned he was going to have the chance to carry on the character’s fine tradition in The Batman, he went back to the very beginning and started his research with the comics, but did his best to make the new Alfred character his own.

CHICAGO MED -Pictured: Oliver Platt as Dr. Daniel Charles — (Photo by: George Burns Jr/NBC) On Chicago Med, Oliver Platt plays Dr. Daniel Charles, the head of Gaffney Chicago Medical Center’s psychiatry department. And while some medical shows in the past have been dismissive of that branch of medicine, Platt’s character is a valued member of the Chicago Med team who deals not only with patients, but sometimes the doctors themselves. Platt told us that, based on the research he did before debuting the character, the depiction of Charles on the show is right in line with a lot of real-life hospital psychiatrists’ experiences.

Apple TV+ today announced the premiere date and unveiled a first-look at the new comedy series “Loot,” starring and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live,” “Bridesmaids”). From Emmy Award-winning creators Alan Yang (“Little America,” “Master of None”) and Matt Hubbard (“30 Rock,” “Forever”), the 10-episode workplace comedy will debut globally with the first three episodes on Friday, June 24 on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday. In addition to Rudolph, the “Loot” ensemble cast is led by stars Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (“Pose”), Ron Funches (“Undateable”), Nat Faxon (“Married”) and Joel Kim Booster (‘Sunnyside”). In “Loot,” billionaire Molly Novak (Rudolph) has a dream life, complete with private jets, a sprawling mansion, and a gigayacht – anything her heart desires. But when her husband of 20 years betrays her, she spirals publicly, becoming fuel for tabloid fodder. She’s reaching rock bottom when she learns, to her surprise, that she has a charity foundation run by the no-nonsense Sofia Salinas (Rodriguez), who pleads with Molly to stop generating bad press. With her devoted assistant Nicholas (Kim Booster) by her side, and with the help of Sofia and team – including mild-mannered accountant Arthur (Faxon) and her optimistic, pop-culture-loving cousin Howard (Funches) – Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Giving back to others might be what she needs to get back to herself. “Loot” is created, written and executive produced by Yang and Hubbard. Rudolph executive produces, along with Natasha Lyonne and Danielle Renfrew Behrens, through their Animal Pictures. Dave Becky of 3 Arts also serves as executive producer. “Loot” is produced for Apple by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Nicolas Cage (“Nick Cage”) enjoys a cocktail in Mallorca, Spain in THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT.-Photo Credit: Katalin Vermes/Lionsgate What happens when you write a movie screenplay that’s specific to only one actor … and the actor has no interest in your screenplay? It happened to Charlie Kaufman when he wrote Being John Malkovich; the production team had to do a great job of convincing Malkovich to play a version of himself in the movie. Apparently, the writing team of Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten were unfazed by that story when they conceived a film based on a fictionalized version of Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage. So they wrote The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and word of the script started to circulate around town. When it reached Cage’s ears … well, he wasn’t impressed. As with Malkovich, the filmmakers had to convince Cage of the movie’s value, and Cage talked to us about how he was finally won over.

With last month’s departure of Julian McMahon from FBI: Most Wanted, there were some pretty big shoes to fill, since he’d been the de facto leader of the ensemble cast. And now, stepping into those shoes, Dylan McDermott is joining the show as the new team leader. Since both the actor and the character are new to the show, McDermott says they’re taking advantage of that “new guy awkwardness,” and you’ll definitely be able to see it in his debut episode.

THIS IS US –Susan Kelechi Watson as Beth — (Photo by: Ron Batzdorff/NBC) One of the things that’s made This Is Us so successful over the course of the past six seasons is that the characters have been drawn in such a way that nearly everyone who watches can identify with at least one of them, and the stories they’ve lived through will resonate with you on a very personal level. That applies to viewers and, to a certain extent, to the actors themselves. Several of them say they’ve learned a lot from the experience, and they’ll be taking some of those lessons away from the show and putting them to use in their own lives. Susan Kelechi Watson, who plays Beth Pearson, told us there’s a lot of Beth that she’ll try to incorporate in her own life.

Photograph by Paul Schiraldi/HBO Developed by George Pelecanos and David Simon, and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, WE OWN THIS CITY chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work. Starring Jon Bernthal, Wunmi Mosaku, Jamie Hector and Josh Charles, WE OWN THIS CITY debuts MONDAY, APRIL 25 (9:00-10:00 pm ET/PT) and is executive produced by George Pelecanos, David Simon, Reinaldo Marcus Green, Nina K. Noble, Ed Burns, and Kary Antholis. For WE OWN THIS CITY, acclaimed director Reinaldo Marcus Green (“King Richard”) joined a team who twenty years ago created HBO’s groundbreaking series “The Wire.” Along with executive producers Pelecanos, Simon, Noble and Burns, and co-executive producer William F. Zorzi, WE OWN THIS CITY brings together much of the talent from that iconic series, both on the crew and on screen, where viewers will recognize numerous “The Wire” cast, led by Jamie Hector, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Domenick Lombardozzi, Trey Chaney, Delaney Williams, Jermaine Crawford, Anwan Glover, Chris Clanton, Nathan Corbett, Maria Broom, Susan Rome and Michael Salconi. Other lead cast, previously announced, includes McKinley Belcher III, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rob Brown, Don Harvey, David Corenswet, Larry Mitchell, Ian Duff and Lucas Van Engen. Character descriptions can be found HERE. This reunion first started when Pelecanos was approached by Antholis who described the basic premise of the Gun Trace Task Force scandal and the possibility of adapting Justin Fenton’s non-fiction book WE OWN THIS CITY for television. After reading the manuscript, Pelecanos invited his longtime partners, “The Wire” creator, David Simon, and executive producer Nina K. Noble to the project. It would mark their first return to Baltimore filmmaking since that series. As WE OWN THIS CITY depicts the Baltimore Police Department, the connective tissue between the shows goes beyond the creative teams and the city of Baltimore. While “The Wire” was a fictional story, it was speaking to the issues in policing stemming from the drug war heading into the turn of the century and the 2000s. But WE OWN THIS CITY deals with the next generation of the drug war. In the 2000s, the Baltimore Police Department struggled to respond to crime with meaningful police work, giving itself over to mass arrest and drug warring instead. WE OWN THIS CITY shows how the department’s desperate reliance on statistics over substance eventually led to the inability of department officials to supervise the Gun Trace Task Force and the further inability of the department to discipline rogue police. At the time of the GTTF scandal in 2017, though there were numerous indications of corruption within several plainclothes units going back almost a decade, Baltimore police commanders held to the belief that any street unit that could bring in guns and drugs consistently had to be championed and protected. WE OWN THIS CITY depicts the inevitable corruption of a unit given this carte blanche. The post HBO Releases Trailer For New Limited Series ‘We Own This City’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

Photo by Merrick Morton. © 2022 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved. Big families have served as the basis for plenty of American entertainment over the years. Fifty years ago, it was The Brady Bunch that took television by storm, but it owed a debt to something even older: the novel and movie adaptation of Cheaper by the Dozen, a real-life account of a family that could field an entire baseball team (plus some) with its kids. There was another Cheaper by the Dozen made in 2003, and a sequel to that film in 2005. But now there’s a new remake — one with a very Brady twist, in that it’s now a blended family. Zach Braff, who stars in the movie, told us you don’t have to come from a big family to relate to the family in the movie.

Welcome to the “land of misfit toys”, also known as Maupin, Oregon, a tiny river town located on the Deschutes River. With an average population of 391, it explodes in the summer as tourists flock to “the Vegas of Oregon” for the most notorious white water rafting adventures and partying in the Pacific Northwest. As temperatures rise, the inhibitions drop, so zip up your life jacket because this is gonna be a wild ride. From rowdy team bonding and love triangles, to demanding overnight clients, and endless party nights, what happens in Maupin stays in Maupin, but there’re no secrets in Maupin. An all-new discovery+ series “WHITE WATER SUMMER” streaming on Wednesday, March 30, navigates viewers through the rapid turns of river life and what it truly means to get the ‘full Maupin experience.’ The Deschutes River is home to two rival rafting businesses: Imperial River Co., owned by Rob Miles, and River Trails Rafting, co-owned by Geoff and Valerie White. It’s up to their ‘esteemed’ raft guides to ensure the safety of clients with the wildest requests. But often night time excesses bleed into early morning river runs, and the messy personal drama is a constant challenge for the raft company owners. Wild child Kailyn, “the Deschutes River goddess,” is determined to figure out if she wants to take over the family business at River Trails Rafting or remain carefree in her dream life on the river. Derik, the charming yet cocky river guide, is entering his fourth raft season which just might be his last… If he doesn’t shape up, he might find himself without a paddle. Unabashed newby Britt, otherwise known as “Dirtbag Barbie,” has zero guide experience and must learn the ins and outs of whitewater in order to make this summer worthwhile. Recently-single veteran guide, Mallory, hopes to broaden the horizons of this small town with little diversity, while opening his heart to a flirtatious Maupin summer. And you can’t tempt Angelique, the river princess who’s a tad boy crazy, with a good time because she plans to live it up on the water and off, with no regrets. Taking on the long hot river by day and partying even harder at night, the river’s sexy and adventurous raft guides must paddle through demanding raft bosses, volatile relationships and tipsy clients.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Travis Kalanick in SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER. Photo credit: Elizabeth Morris/SHOWTIME. During Uber’s rise to relevance and then dominance, now-disgraced CEO Travis Kalanick built up a reputation for a terse, confrontational style of management that may have initially made Uber successful, but ultimately became a liability for the growing company. In the new series Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, Kalanick is portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt; in recent years, the actor has also played real-world figures like Edward Snowden and high-wire daredevil Phillippe Petit, so Gordon-Levitt wasn’t particularly fazed by the idea of playing somebody who could see his performance. In fact, Gordon-Levitt told us he hopes Kalanick will watch his show, because he thinks the billionaire would approve of the well-rounded picture the series paints of him.

Nicole Kidman in “Roar,” premiering globally April 15, 2022 on Apple TV+. Apple TV+ today released the trailer for “Roar,” the highly anticipated darkly comedic anthology series set to debut globally with all eight-episodes on Friday, April 15 exclusively on Apple TV+. Based on a book of short stories by Cecelia Ahern, the series is the first to be released under “Roar” creators and co-showrunners Carly Mensch and Liz Flahive’s (“GLOW”) overall deal with Apple TV+.

Now, the game’s storyline is being relaunched as a new TV series streaming on Paramount+.

Having survived Twilight mania, Robert Pattinson knows a lot about what it means to make movies that already have a built-in fan base. That made it easier for him to take on the role of Bruce Wayne and his caped crime-fighting alter ego in The Batman, the latest adaptation of a character that’s proven to be one of the most popular in Hollywood history. Having made all of those films that came with built-in expectations, Pattinson told us he was able to put a lot of that pressure aside and just focus on making a great film.

“ATLANTA” — Pictured (L-R): Donald Glover as Earn Marks. CR: Rob Youngson/FX After five seasons on the hit comedy Community, Donald Glover wanted to take control of his own television destiny, so he created the dramatic comedy Atlanta. The show’s been received enthusiastically by both audiences and critics — so far, the show’s first two seasons have earned 22 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, and it’s won five times. Glover himself has picked up two awards, one for acting and one for directing. With the show going that well, it came as somewhat of a surprise to learn that, when the show was renewed for an additional two seasons, Glover said they’d be its final seasons. But while fans probably won’t be happy to see the show go away, Glover thinks they should look at all of the forthcoming episodes as gifts, because they almost didn’t get made at all. (Click on the media bar below to hear Donald Glover) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Glover_ATlanta_.mp3 Atlanta airs Thursday nights on FX.

One of the most influential movies of all time was released 50 years ago. And, unlike some other movies of its era, time has only enhanced The Godfather’s legacy, with a story, performances, and direction that has proven to be timeless. Director Francis Ford Coppola, who won an Oscar for writing the screenplay alongside author Mario Puzo, felt like he’d made a quality movie. But even then, he had no idea that his film would earn universal acclaim and the year’s Academy Award for Best Picture. And he certainly didn’t know he’d made a movie for the ages. In fact, he recently admitted to us that he’d been nervous about the film becoming a box office bomb. (Click on the media bar below to hear Francis Ford Coppola) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Cop_Godfather_.mp3 The Godfather is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

Even while promoting her new movie, The Lost City, Sandra Bullock can’t escape her past. During a televised interview, she admitted she’s still terribly embarrassed by the sequel she wishes she hadn’t made, Speed 2: Cruise Control. Keanu Reeves, of course, had the good sense to skip the sequel after making “Speed,” and Bullock was actively involved in recruiting Jason Patric to be her co-star in the film. That became one of her biggest regrets; at the same time, she admitted she felt bad for the people — including entertainment journalists — who were trying to promote the movie. And that’s why Bullock, knowing the movie was going to be savaged, still went out there to do interviews … so she had to figure out a way to say good things without lying through her teeth about the quality of the film. (Click on the media bar below to hear Sandra Bullock) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Sanrda_Bullock_Speed_2.mp3 The Lost City opens in theaters on Friday and, if you dare, Speed 2 is available on DVD and most digital platforms.

Pictured: Sir Patrick Stewart as Picard of the Paramount+ original series STAR TREK: PICARD. Photo Cr: Trae Patton/Paramount+ ©2022 ViacomCBS. All Rights Reserved. When the original Star Trek first premiered, Patrick Stewart was a young man of 26, enjoying his first major taste of acting success — he’d just joined the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England (Shakespeare’s birthplace). While Shakespeare’s works have lasted for hundreds of years, nobody in 1966 could have expected that Gene Roddenberry’s creation would still be going strong in 2022, with two live-action TV shows (Star Trek: Discovery and Stewart’s Star Trek: Picard), two animated TV shows (Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy), and more projects on the way, including another new TV show and a 14th feature film. Why does Stewart think Star Trek has enjoyed such a long run? When we spoke to him, he summed it up in a single word.

Will Smith hadn’t planned on making a sequel to his 2007 film I Am Legend, but he got a story pitch he couldn’t turn down, and now the sequel is officially in development, with Smith and Michael B. Jordan co-starring and co-producing, and the original film’s writer, Akiva Goldsman, ready to handle the script. There’s no release date set yet, since they still haven’t hired a director, but at least fans know they’ve got something to look forward to. As for Smith, he’d been somewhat resistant up until now because he thought the first movie was so good; at the time it opened, he told us he’d really appreciated the ideas presented in the book upon which I Am Legend was based.

Prime Video shared the premiere date and official trailer for the historical British drama A Very British Scandal. Written by Sarah Phelps (The Pale Horse, Dublin Murders), A Very British Scandal focuses on the divorce of the Duke (Paul Bettany) and Duchess of Argyll (Claire Foy), one of the most notorious, extraordinary, and brutal legal cases of the 20th century. Famed for her charisma, beauty, and style, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, dominated the front pages as a divorce featuring accusations of forgery, theft, violence, drug-taking, secret recording, bribery, and an explicit Polaroid picture all played out in the white-hot glare of the 1960s media. A Very British Scandal turns this scandal inside out in order to explore the social and political climate of postwar Britain, looking at attitudes towards women, and asking whether institutional misogyny was widespread at the time. As her contemporaries, the press, and the judiciary sought to vilify her, Margaret kept her head held high with bravery and resilience, refusing to go quietly as she was betrayed by her friends and publicly shamed by a society that reveled in her fall from grace. A Very British Scandal Premieres April 22 on Prime Video.

The series, from executive producer Michael Patrick King, alongside stars and executive producers Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, delivered the strongest debut of any Max Original series to date. The Max Original AND JUST LIKE THAT…, the new chapter of the groundbreaking HBO series “Sex and the City,” from executive producer Michael Patrick King, follows Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. Season 1 cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson, and Evan Handler. USA Today praised AND JUST LIKE THAT… as “sharp” and “vibrant,” while IndieWire hailed it a “whirlwind of haute couture, budding romance and fervent friendship” and The Chicago Sun Times highlighted its “excellent performances.” Michael Patrick King, executive producer, quote: “I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters – played by these powerful, amazing actors. The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just like That… our Sex life is back.” Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max quote: “We have been delighted by the cultural conversation generated by these characters and their stories, set in a world we already know and love so much.

When Steve Martin hit it big in the 1970s, he was known as “a wild and crazy guy.” But as the ’80s segued into the ’90s, we started to see a Steve Martin that was less wild, more mild, but still very funny. Perhaps no film captured that transition in Martin’s career better than the dramedy Parenthood. When the film was released in 1989, Martin wasn’t a parent himself — that wouldn’t happen until 23 years later — but he played a father of three (with a fourth on the way) in the film. Parenthood, directed by Ron Howard, took a no-holds-barred look at the chaos that comes with having a family; at the time the film was released, Martin told us that was one of the reasons why he was so excited about making the movie.

So far, The Outfit has been very well received by critics and audiences, with its performance on the Rotten Tomatoes website currently at “90% fresh.” One of the things about the film that’s been winning praise is its script, co-written by director Graham Moore and Johnathan McClain.

Since Robert Pattinson had played a vampire — another form of “bat man” — in the Twilight movie saga, it would seem almost like typecasting to have him play the lead role in The Batman. But, as it turns out, his work on the Twilight films had no bearing at all on getting the part. According to The Batman’s director, Matt Reeves, the idea of casting Pattinson as the Dark Knight actually started when a fellow filmmaker showed Reeves what Pattinson did in his film.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson is in a familiar position this awards season, as his latest film, Licorice Pizza, has been nominated for three Academy Awards, including for Best Picture and Best Director. Of the nine feature films Anderson has written and directed, seven of them have earned a total of 25 Oscar nominations. His first to get such an honor was released nearly 25 years ago — 1997’s Boogie Nights. Of course, that movie was also responsible for helping a young Mark Wahlberg ascend to Hollywood’s A-list, as he won universal acclaim for his portrayal of porn star Dirk Diggler. At the time, though, he had no idea where the role would take him and, speaking just before the film’s opening, he didn’t think the movie was going to be his ticket to superstardom.

And though she knew it would be physically impossible to be exactly like Holmes, Seyfried told us she tried to find a happy medium between Holmes and herself.

Nicolas Cage (“Nick Cage”) contemplates his career while poolside in Mallorca, Spain in THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT. Music artists often release a greatest hits album, but The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is probably the closest a Hollywood star will ever come to a cinematic equivalent. In the film, Nicolas Cage stars as a fictionalized version of himself, and he needs to re-enact some of his most noteworthy roles in order to win the freedom of his kidnapped wife and daughter. The premise may be odd, but the comedy has won near-universal acclaim from early reviewers. Like John Malkovich was with Being John Malkovich, Cage was initially reluctant to make the movie and had to be personally convinced by the film’s director. But now that the film’s been made and he’s seen the results, Cage says he thinks his fear actually made the movie better.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MAYHEM – In Disney and Pixar’s all-new original feature film “Turning Red,” 13-year-old Mei Lee, a confident-but-dorky teenager, is surviving the mayhem of middle school with a little help from her tightknit group of friends. Featuring the voices of (from left to right) Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Priya, Rosalie Chiang as Mei, Ava Morse as Miriam, and Hyein Park as Abby, “Turning Red” will debut exclusively on Disney+ (where Disney+ is available) on March 11, 2022. © 2022 Disney/Pixar. All Rights Reserved. “I’m 13. Deal with it!” If you never spoke those words as a newly minted teenager, you thought them. And if you never spoke or thought them… well, you’re lying. It’s a strange and pivotal age for most of us. After 12 years of mostly blind obedience to our parents, our middle-school minds feel like they’re finally ready to challenge their absolute authority and assert our independence. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we’re right, sometimes we aren’t. But whether we do or don’t, whether we’re right or not, there are always consequences – sometimes unintended, sometimes unpredictable. And that’s part of the beauty of Turning Red, the new movie from Pixar that’s just premiered on Disney+. While the film has been produced from an unmistakably female perspective, thanks to director/co-writer Domee Shi and a team that’s dominated by women, it’s a film that anyone who’s endured adolescence can enjoy, and a film that anyone who’s endured adolescent children can understand. When we first meet Mei, she bounces all over the screen in bursts of colorful kinetic energy, awash in the exuberances of youth, when everything seems clear. What she doesn’t realize is that her hormones are about to kick in, complicating her life in a number of ways. Artistically inclined, Mei starts to fill her notebook with provocative sketches of a boy she (previously) swore she didn’t like. In a nod to a-ha’s classic Take On Me music video, one of those sketches comes to life with a flirtatious wink. This sets off a chain of events: Mei’s “smother,” Ming, sees the sketches and confronts the boy, triggering waves of embarrassment and angst in Mei, who – overcome with emotion – “poofs” into a giant red panda, which, in turn, triggers howls of confusion and loathing over her new body. Without seeing what’s happened to her daughter, Ming mistakes the event as being Mei’s first period – indeed, the movie does serve as an allegory to that moment in a young woman’s life – but Ming should know better. After all, it’s just the manifestation of a family curse that she, herself, went through when she was coming of age. It’s a curse that can be controlled by suppressing emotions, but also one that can be “cured” by a mystical ritual. The rest of the movie explores Mei’s efforts to come to terms with her new self – how it will redefine her as a person and how it will redefine her relationship with her mother – and how she navigates social situations, finding peace among her core group of friends while being alternately scared of and proud of showing her new body to others, especially her classmates at school. Lessons are learned about the meaning of family and the importance of friendship, but ultimately, the biggest lesson learned by Mei is one of acceptance, as she must decide whether she will embrace or deny her inner panda. As with all Pixar productions, Turning Red is a stunning visual feast. (An early sequence showing Mei’s father as he cooks qualifies as actual food porn.) As vivid and bright as its young leading character, it also captures the essence of its settings perfectly, as we get beautiful views of Toronto, the city’s Chinatown, and a thoroughly authentic Chinese temple. As Disney did recently with Encanto, first-time feature director Shi infuses her film with a healthy knowledge and respect for a foreign culture. This time, it’s the Chinese culture and, specifically, the experience of being a cultural transplant (born in China, Shi spent her youth in Toronto). In the hands of another director, some of the Chinese tropes might have come off as stereotypical and insincere, but Shi has clearly lived with the kinds of pressures and expectations she shows in her film. The voice cast, led by newcomer Rosalie Chiang and veteran Sandra Oh, is excellent. The film’s also got a fun soundtrack, courtesy of Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, who wrote some hard-to-resist pop songs for the story’s boy band (the group and its local concert are a focal point of the story). While teenage girls (and some of the women they’ve become) will rejoice in seeing a Disney movie that finally attempts to capture their gloriously messy adolescence in an authentic way, that won’t stop others from enjoying the movie in their own way, while maybe even learning a few lessons as well. And if you’ve got an extra 45 minutes to spare, Disney+ has also released a companion documentary about the making of the film. Along with illuminating the real-life inspirations behind Turning Red’s themes, it’s an entertaining look at Shi and her team as they built the picture, as well as being a fascinating look at how a film like this was made during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, it’s a shame that, because of the pandemic, Disney opted to pull Turning Red from its planned theatrical release. With a movie that’s as much fun as Turning Red is, and with a theme that hits home for so many, the studio could have been seeing a lot of green.

When Prison Break premiered in 2005, it was a surprise hit — especially surprising since its network, Fox, had passed on the show before reconsidering. The show’s breakout star was Wentworth Miller, who played the brooding genius with possibly the most elaborate escape plan ever committed to film. After Michael Schofield broke his brother out of jail in the show’s first season, the series continued for another three years, adding a fifth season revival eight years after the original finale. While Miller has said he has no plans to reprise the character for another revival, At a fan event he spoke about what he admired most about Schofield.

When it was released in 2008, The Wachowskis’ big-screen remake of the anime classic Speed Racer was both a critical and commercial disappointment. Even factoring in worldwide grosses, the film didn’t make it to the $100 million mark; considering it had a $120 million budget, that was a problem. And, of course, it was savaged by most of the nation’s film reviewers, generating only a 41% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But that was then, and this is now … and now, a new generation of viewers considers the film to be a cult classic. In the film, Emile Hirsch played the lead role. But even though his character was a daring race car driver, he never got to feel the roar of an engine or the wind in his hair, because he shot virtually the entire movie in a studio with a green screen. At the time the film was released, he told us that was his greatest challenge in making the film.

You can now count Robert Pattinson among the actors who have discovered that playing the characters of Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter ego, Batman, is not an easy assignment. When Pattinson thinks about the likes of Christian Bale and Michael Keaton, who brought the character to life in very different incarnations, he has an even deeper sense of pride for what he’s accomplished in The Batman. Knowing he had to figure out a way to reinvent the character without copying those before him, Pattinson told us, was an incredible challenge, but one he fully embraced.

Samuel L. Jackson in “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,” now streaming on Apple TV+. In his new miniseries, Samuel L. Jackson is playing a character who, in his final stages of dementia, finds himself with temporary periods of clarity as he tries to solve a mystery. It may seem like an unusual role for Jackson to take, considering the character is 20 years older than Jackson is in real life. However, Jackson told us that The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey was an important role for him to take, because he’s seen several family members battle Alzheimer’s over the years.

Doane Gregory/Netflix © 2022 In The Adam Project, Ryan Reynolds takes an age-old question — “if you could, what would you tell your younger self?” — to the extreme. Because, as a time-traveling pilot, Reynolds’s character must actually work with his younger self to save the world when he gets stuck in his past. The idea of a boy interacting with his future self, Reynolds says, feels like the kind of thing you would have seen on the screen back in the ’80s, when Steven Spielberg was bridging both genres and generations.

Legacy matters, and Harry Bosch is hell-bent on leaving behind a legacy he’s proud of. After leaving the Los Angeles Police Department as a detective, Bosch’s (Titus Welliver) captivating story continues, working with former enemy and top-notch attorney, Honey “Money” Chandler (Mimi Rogers, Mad Men). The only thing they can agree on? Finding justice. Meanwhile, his daughter, Maddie (Madison Lintz, The Walking Dead) follows in his footsteps as a rookie patrol officer with the LAPD. Bosch: Legacy, produced by Fabel Entertainment, premieres Friday, May 6 on IMDb TV, Amazon’s premium free streaming service. Loosely based on the hybrid novel The Wrong Side of Goodbye from acclaimed author Michael Connelly, and a spinoff of the longest-running Prime Video Original, Bosch, the first season of Bosch: Legacy follows former LAPD detective Harry Bosch as he begins a new chapter as a private investigator. His first job calls him to the estate of ailing billionaire Whitney Vance, where Bosch is tasked with finding Vance’s only potential heir. Along the way, Bosch finds himself clashing with powerful figures who have a vested interest in the heir not being found. Researching the family tree, he uncovers shocking revelations that span generations, all while billions of dollars remain on the line. Without the badge and a preference for old-school tactics, Bosch finds an invaluable resource in Maurice “Mo” Bassi (Stephen A. Chang, Captain Marvel), a tech-forward gadget whiz who also shares Bosch’s fondness for smooth jazz and commitment to justice. Following in her father’s footsteps, Maddie, a rookie patrol officer with the LAPD, is paired with Reina Vasquez (Denise Sanchez, The Good Place), a no-nonsense, hard-charging training officer. As Maddie patrols the streets of Los Angeles, she grapples with what kind of cop she wants to be. Her father – who continues to live by the code that everybody counts, or nobody counts – believes the issue is clear: Being a cop is either a mission or just a job. ‘Bosch: Legacy’ premieres May 6 on IMDb TV.

When it comes to movies about golf, only one can be the undisputed champion. Sorry, Kevin Costner, Tin Cup isn’t it. Nice try with Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler, but you don’t get the honor either. Because, when you tee up the greatest golf movies ever made, there’s only one Caddyshack. (Well, technically, there were two, but for the sake of everyone’s sanity, we’ll conveniently ignore the wretched sequel.) While the film was loaded with memorable characters and moments, Bill Murray still managed to steal the film as groundskeeper Carl Spackler. Of course, he also manages to dispense some golf instruction and philosophy (“be the ball”) like a pro. As it turns out, a lot of Murray’s golf knowledge comes from real-life experience, as he was once a real-life inhabitant of the caddyshack.

Sam Waterston as D.A. Jack McCoy — (Photo by: Will Hart/NBC) When Law & Order premiered in 1990, it set into motion an entire universe — and started a trend that would inspire later franchise universes, like CSI, *NCIS, and the Chicago shows. So, even though the original Law & Order was off the air from 2010 until its recent revival, we never really left the Law & Order universe, especially with the long-running SVU spinoff airing continuously during the original show’s absence. Sam Waterston, who’s returned to the Law & Order revival, has made frequent appearances on other shows, including SVU, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, and even Homicide: Life in the Street (which, although it came from a different producer, existed in the same universe as Law & Order and even exported one of its main characters to SVU after its run). He thinks it’s amazing what producer Dick Wolf has accomplished in creating these shows that are able to share so much with each other.

The HBO Original documentary film TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF, directed by Sam Jones and executive produced by Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, and Mel Eslyn (HBO’s “The Lady and The Dale” and “Somebody Somewhere”) debuts TUESDAY, APRIL 5 (9:00-11:10 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. Centering around intimate new interviews with Tony Hawk himself, the film is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, a pioneer of modern vertical skating who is still pushing his limits at the age of 53, remains one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, the film chronicles Hawk’s meteoric rise from awkward teen outsider in the radical sport of the 1980s – where his father’s efforts to standardize and regulate the nascent competitions complicated his early success and relationships – to multiple X Games gold medalist, trick innovator, entrepreneur, and 12-time National Skateboard Association world champion. While the film celebrates Hawk’s single-minded pursuit of his passion, his relentless, and ultimately successful drive to master the elusive “900” and his refusal to bend to the reality of middle age, it also reveals the perils of fame and notoriety and the constant threat to his physical well-being. Dynamically showcasing Hawk’s pure joy in skateboarding and his incredible tenacity over 40 years, the documentary probes the complex psyche of a man whose dogged determination and drive to succeed place him at the pinnacle of his sport, while celebrating a legacy that is still being written. ·Featured interviews: Tony Hawk, filmmaker/skateboard pioneer Stacy Peralta, professional skateboarders Rodney Mullen, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Neil Blender, Andy MacDonald, Duane Peters, Sean Mortimer, Christian Hosoi and other legendary skateboarders speak to the ongoing challenges of continuing to do what they love while facing the increasing risks to aging bodies and minds. Upping the visual spectacle is a soundtrack that resonates with the sounds of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, including tracks by The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Echo and The Bunnymen, Joy Division, Pavement, Oingo Boingo, The Replacements, XTC and New Order.

As a writer and director, Quentin Tarantino is a highly unique filmmaker. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his influences. To the contrary, Tarantino is a big fan of many films and filmmakers that came before him, and he sometimes wears his influences on his sleeve while making his own movies. But when it comes to his breakthrough film, 1992’s Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino has sometimes grown annoyed at some of the comparisons that have been made, and when we spoke to him over the years he told us that it gets frustrating when movie buffs seem to keep changing their minds about who (and what) he’s paying homage to.

When gold runs in your veins, you can’t stay away forever. Todd Hoffman started Discovery’s gold mining craze. Four years after he walked away from his tumultuous mining career to focus on his family, Todd has been given an opportunity too good to pass up and is returning to Alaska for one final shot at redemption. With his father Jack and his son Hunter in tow, will the Hoffman’s be able to save a struggling mine for the ultimate payday? Or have they bitten off more than they can mine? HOFFMAN FAMILY GOLD premieres on Friday, March 25 at 10 PM ET/PT on Discovery after the “Gold Rush” finale and will be available to stream the same day on discovery+. Starting Friday, April 1, new episodes will be airing at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery. Love him or hate him, fans of Discovery’s #1-rated show “Gold Rush” have watched Todd Hoffman from the very beginning when the original dreamer took to mining and launched the franchise. Todd has excavated mine after mine for a chance to strike it rich in gold. After hanging up his gold pan more than four years ago, Todd is banking his future mining career on turning around a rundown mine far off the grid 80 miles north of Nome, Alaska. With Alaska’s unforgiving weather, rookie crews and beat up equipment, the mine is struggling to keep operations going. Trying to save this mine is a big gamble for Todd, but if he is successful, he will secure the mining rights for the next decade and could build a family legacy. But Todd arrives on site with just seven weeks before winter rolls in. Will Todd, Jack and Hunter Hoffman along with their crew be able to find enough gold to get this mine in the black? Or will this be the last mining chapter for the Hoffmans? In HOFFMAN FAMILY GOLD, Todd’s taking on this huge risk and potentially bigger reward with the team he trusts most. Todd’s father Jack and his son Hunter will be making the long trek to Alaska along with a veteran crew of gold miners including Jim Thurber, foreman Andy Spinks and bush mechanic Randy Hubler. How will the current crew react when Todd and his team arrive? Will Randy be able to fix all the failing equipment? But most importantly, will they all be able to work together to find gold?

Photograph by Warrick Page/HBO When you’re making a historical docudrama about a legendary basketball team, that’s going to cause a lot of headaches for the casting director. Of course, you want somebody who’s got acting talent. Then, you want somebody whose physical appearance will be close to the original player — which also pretty much rules out anybody under six feet in height. And, oh yeah, it’d help if they can convincingly shoot some hoops and control the ball.

Woody Harrelson surprised a lot of people in the 1990s. He had, of course, risen to prominence with a role on the classic sitcom Cheers, which had earned him five Primetime Emmy Award nominations (including one win). But after Cheers aired its series finale in 1993, Harrelson set out to prove just how diverse he could be as an actor, taking roles in the erotically charged drama Indecent Proposal, Oliver Stone’s super-violent Natural Born Killers, and Milos Forman’s biopic of a man who was legendary in the porn industry, The People vs. Larry Flynt. Playing Flynt in the film earned Harrelson the first of his three Oscar nominations, but it was also a trying experience for him. He told us he blames Anthony Hopkins for that, since the two-time Oscar winner had set the bar very, very high for portraying a real-life character, and he wasn’t sure whether he could measure up.

When Airplane! came out in 1980, it took no prisoners when it came to its comedy.

But the film’s master stroke, if you ask co-director/co-writer David Zucker, was a very funny script … with lines delivered by very serious actors.

Thrust immediately into the crime wave of deadly carfentanyl flooding the Cape, Jackie is laser-focused on bringing down drug dealer Frankie Cuevas (Amaury Nolasco), the man Jackie holds responsible for the death of her best friend, Junior. For Jackie, it is personal but then again, for Jackie, everything is personal. When Frankie’s cousin Jorge (Luis Guzmán) joins his operation, he introduces a new level of violence and chaos. With disgraced officer Ray Abruzzo (James Badge Dale) off the force and mired in depression, Jackie finds a new partner in Leslie (Tonya Glanz), the only other female on the force. Through it all, Jackie must walk the tightrope of sobriety as she struggles to stay above an ocean of secrets, betrayal and the shame and failure of her past.

One of the four Oscar nominations Robin Williams received was for his role in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society, which featured him as an English teacher at an elite boys’ boarding school. His classroom was populated by a young ensemble cast that included several actors who’ve gone on to quite a bit of acclaim themselves, including Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Josh Charles. (Between them, the three have been nominated for four Academy Awards, four Tony Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards.) At the time, though, they were all relatively unknown actors looking to make a name for themselves.

His last two projects have been a pair of TV drama series, 2018’s Escape at Dannemora and the new Severance. If it seems strange that Stiller, whose name has primarily been synonymous with comedy throughout his career, has gone serious with his work, he’s only got himself to blame. After the acclaim that came from Escape at Dannemora, Stiller says he was getting a lot more offers for more dramatic work.

Academy, Emmy and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Douglas will star as Benjamin Franklin in a new Apple Original limited event series. Apple TV+ has announced an order for a new limited event series from Emmy and WGA Award-winning writer Kirk Ellis (“John Adams”) and Emmy and DGA Award-winning director Tim Van Patten, with Academy, Emmy and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Douglas set to star in the lead role as Benjamin Franklin. Based on the book “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America” by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, the new limited event series is a co-production between ITV Studios America and Apple Studios. The drama will explore the thrilling story of one of the greatest gambles of Benjamin Franklin’s career. At age 70, without any diplomatic training, Franklin convinced France – an absolute monarchy – to underwrite America’s experiment in democracy. By virtue of his fame, charisma and ingenuity, Franklin outmaneuvered British spies, French informers and hostile colleagues, all while engineering the Franco-American alliance of 1778 and the final peace treaty with England of l783. The eight-year French mission stands as Franklin’s most vital service to his country, without which America would not have won the Revolution. The limited event series will be written and executive produced by Kirk Ellis, and directed by Tim Van Patten, who will serve as executive producer alongside Michael Douglas, Richard Plepler through EDEN productions, Tony Krantz through Flame Ventures, and Mark Mostyn. Stacy Schiff will serve as co-executive producer. The post Oscar Winner Michael Douglas To Star In New Apple TV+ Limited Series appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

In the original animated version of Disney’s 101 Dalmatians, we were introduced to the striking visage of its villainess, Cruella de Vil. With a greenish complexion and two-tone hair, she truly looked the part of the dogs’ worst nightmare. When the time came for Disney to shoot a live-action remake of the classic film, they turned to eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close to play the part.

CBS announced COME DANCE WITH ME, the new family dance competition series, will premiere Friday, April 15 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*. From creators and executive producers Chris O’Donnell, LL COOL J (stars of CBS’ NCIS: LOS ANGELES) and 3 Ball Productions, COME DANCE WITH ME features exceptionally talented young dancers from across the country who invite one untrained family member who has supported their dance dreams to be their partner, for a chance to strut their stuff for a grand prize. Those untrained family members include a preschool teacher, a doctor, a social worker and an engineer, among others, who have left their day jobs behind to lace up their dance shoes and learn endless choreography all for their children. O’Donnell and LL COOL J also serve as executive producers on the series. GRAMMY(R) Award-winning songwriter Philip Lawrence hosts the series which features music from popular artists across all genres. Judges of the competition include one of Hollywood’s most prolific dancer and actresses, Jenna Dewan; professional celebrity dancer Dexter Mayfield; and renowned hip hop choreographer Tricia Miranda. Each week on COME DANCE WITH ME, aspiring kids – ranging in age from 9 to 15 years old – will share their love of dance with their supportive, albeit untrained, adult family members. The pairs will go on uplifting and emotional journeys to learn and perform challenging routines, with the assistance of professional choreographers. All the dance partners will perform a fierce new routine each week in hopes of earning top scores from the judges, so they can continue in the competition. Throughout the season, each duo will learn and perform different styles of dance, from hip hop and ballroom to contemporary and theatrical, among others. Each judge can award up to 10 points per team for their routine, on the criteria of technique, team chemistry and showmanship. At the end of each night, the two lowest-scoring teams will battle each other in a freestyle dance-off, and the judges will determine which team is eliminated and which will continue in the competition. At the end of the season, only one team will win the $100,000 grand prize. “COME DANCE WITH ME is a fun show with a big heart,” said executive producers Chris O’Donnell and LL COOL J. “The show is about being creative, having a good time and bringing families together through dance. We can’t wait to see what these kids and parents have in store for America!” The CBS Original series COME DANCE WITH ME joins CBS’ previously announced spring reality lineup, including the 42nd edition of SURVIVOR, premiering Wednesday, March 9 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), and the new series BEYOND THE EDGE, the most intense celebrity adventure challenge ever attempted, premiering Wednesday, March 16 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

Between movies, television, and streaming, there’s probably enough content to fill a superhero fan’s entire schedule indefinitely.

Having gone through several different filmed incarnations, the character returns next month in a new movie that stars Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.

Earvin “Magic” Johnson in “They Call Me Magic,” premiering globally April 22, 2022 on Apple TV+. For those who were basketball fans at the time, nobody will ever forget the emergence of Earvin “Magic” Johnson — first in one of the NCAA’s most thrilling basketball tournaments, then in the NBA. As a star with the Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson was one of the brightest stars in professional basketball, and his rivalry with Larry Bird was legendary. Of course, his playing career was cut short after he was diagnosed as being HIV-positive in 1991, but he’s never given up his public persona. Johnson’s life is the subject of a new documentary, They Call Me Magic, and it will include plenty of material from his post-NBA days. That includes his ill-fated foray into late-night television, 1998’s The Magic Hour. Although it was considered to be an embarrassment (it was cancelled after just two months), Johnson says it’s a part of his life that he learned a lot from, and he’s pleased that it will be part of the documentary.

Russell Crowe had already been making movies for a decade prior to the release of his first big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, Gladiator. The production was epic in every way possible, from its nine-figure budget to its 155-minute running time, and it was certainly bigger than anything Crowe had done in the past. All that work (and money) paid off, though, with the film becoming the third-biggest earner at the box office in 2000 and then winning five Academy Awards, including one for Crowe as Best Actor. All these years later, it’s still one of the films most-associated with Crowe, and there’s even another Gladiator movie in the works, with director Ridley Scott once again set to direct. At the time of the film’s release, though, Crowe told us he’d felt a lot of pressure carrying such a big movie, but he felt like he thrived on that pressure.

NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL — Pictured: Michele Tafoya, Sideline Reporter, Sunday Night Football, NBC Sports Group — Photo by: Virginia Sherwood/NBC Right now, Beijing, China is hosting the Winter Olympic Games. But Al Michaels isn’t there. The veteran sportscaster, who has been involved with several Olympic Games, instead will be in the booth for Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles this Sunday. It’s the final game in his current NBC contract, and there’s been plenty of speculation about whether it may be his swan song as a broadcaster. Whether it is or isn’t, there’s no denying that the broadcast that put Michaels on the map was his impassioned call of the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the United States and Soviet Union, most commonly referred to as the Miracle on Ice. His call as time ran out — “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” — remains one of the legendary moments of sports broadcasting, and Michaels told us that, 42 years later, it’s a phrase that people still associate with him.

Moonfall is everything you would expect from a Roland Emmerich-directed sci-fi thriller, which means there’s plenty of action that takes place away from Earth’s surface. Obviously, that meant a significant number of scenes were shot using green screen and computer technology. Halle Berry, who stars in the film, says that presented challenges to her and the other actors, who had to rely primarily on Emmerich’s stage direction, but then had to use their imaginations.

Carl Weathers had recently retired from his pro football career and committed to an acting career when he auditioned for a sports movie written by a young, relatively unknown actor named Sylvester Stallone.

After Joe Dante’s movie Gremlins became a huge box-office hit in 1984, the studio wanted him to do a sequel. Dante, however, had no interest in making a conventional sequel, so he held out for a long, long time, until the studio gave him the creative control to make the sequel he wanted. The result was Gremlins 2: The New Batch, which was more a parody of sequels than an actual sequel. Dante took pleasure in breaking a lot of the rules of filmmaking and was quite proud of what he’d accomplished, though the joke was lost on some. Though the movie got generally good reviews, audiences didn’t quite know what to make of it, especially once it started doing parodies of other well-known films. While it wasn’t a big box-office hit in 1990, it’s become a cult classic in the three decades since. At the time of the film’s release, director Dante talked about resisting the temptation — and the studio’s initial pleas — to make another film just like Gremlins.

Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”) stars in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream.” When Neve Campbell made the first Scream movie, she was a 21-year-old who was just finding widespread fame on the TV show Party of Five, and her breakout movie, The Craft, premiered while Scream was filming. Campbell wasn’t alone in that regard — co-star Courteney Cox’s career had just rocketed into the stratosphere because of Friends (and she met her future husband, David Arquette, during the shoot). According to Campbell, the shoot came at a great time in their lives, and they all really enjoyed the experience.

KILLING IT — Pictured: Craig Robinson as Craig — (Photo by: Alan Markfield/Peacock) From the Creative Minds Behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici Comes A New Comedy Series Starring Craig Robinson Killing It is a comedy about class, capitalism and one man’s quest to achieve the American dream. And also about hunting really big snakes.
KILLINGIT Begins Streaming In April Only on Peacock!
QUOTES FROM THE CREATORS A NOTE FROM DAN GOOR & LUKE DEL TREDICI (Co-Showrunners, Writers, EPs): “We love all the ambitious, challenging, thematically-rich series that populate the current peak-TV landscape. We also love jokes. So, we tried to make a show that could deliver both. We wanted ‘Killing It’ to explore America’s quasi-religious obsession with entrepreneurship and wealth, and we also wanted it to be funny. Really, really funny. Plus, we wanted it to have big snakes.” “It’s a daunting creative balancing act, but lucky for us, we were writing for Craig Robinson, aka the most likable man in the world. His hilarious, effortlessly charming performance grounds even the wildest comic moments in something deeply human and relatable.” The post Peacock Releases Trailer For New Comedy Series ‘Killing It’ appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.
After five seasons on the air, The X-Files had become a true phenomenon, and it endeavored to do something no other drama had tried to do in the past: shoot a movie while the show itself was still in production. The X-Files: Fight the Future was released in June 1998, and it served as a bridge between the show’s fifth and sixth seasons, resolving some of its mythology storylines while introducing Agents Mulder & Scully to new mysteries. Speaking at the time of the film’s release, David Duchovny told us he thought making the film — while hard on the actors and the production team — was a brilliant idea, though he actually thought the movie would have been a good way to end the series, which wound up running for another four seasons before concluding its initial run.

When it was released in 1987, Robocop unexpectedly became one of the summer’s biggest hits, winning the box office race in each of its first two weekends. But the film’s biggest accomplishment may have been that it was actually completed in the first place!

Photograph by Courtesy of HBO Max The Peacemaker character, as introduced in The Suicide Squad, is far from being the perfect superhero. While he is fighting on the side of humanity in both the film and the new TV spinoff, Peacemaker, he’s not exactly a great human being, with a lot of obnoxious tendencies that have led the show’s creator and writer, James Gunn, to describe him as “the world’s biggest douchebag.” And when the character, played by John Cena, made the leap to fronting his own series, Gunn told us he didn’t want to suddenly make the character more palatable than he was … but he did want to delve more into the reasons for Peacemaker’s flawed personality.

Billy Crystal -Steve Schofield The Critics Choice Association (CCA) announced today that legendary actor Billy Crystal will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards. Crystal will be feted for his incredible body of work throughout the years at the star-studded Critics Choice Awards gala hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer, which will broadcast LIVE on The CW and TBS on Sunday, March 13 from 7:00 – 10:00 pm ET (delayed PT – check local listings). Throughout its 27-year history, the Critics Choice Awards have honored just six stars with the illustrious Lifetime Achievement Award including Lauren Bacall, Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Eddie Murphy, Robert Wise, and now, Billy Crystal. As previously announced, Halle Berry will receive the sixth annual SeeHer Award during the ceremony. Tony and Emmy Award-winning comedian, actor, producer, writer, and director Billy Crystal is known to audiences around the world as the star of such films as When Harry Met Sally…, City Slickers and Analyze This, as a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, and as the acclaimed nine-time host of the Academy Awards. Next on the horizon, Crystal returns to Broadway in his very first musical comedy Mr. Saturday Night. Written by Billy Crystal, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel, Mr. Saturday Night is the story of an outrageous and outspoken comedian seeking one more shot at the spotlight some 40 years after his TV career flamed out. The brand-new musical comedy about one comedian’s meteoric rise to the middle arrives on Broadway this Spring, opening April 27, 2022. Crystal landed his first major television role in 1977 on the comedy series Soap, playing Jodie Dallas, one of the first openly gay characters on TV. In 1984 he hosted Saturday Night Live and a few months later joined the regular cast. His best-known SNL creation was Fernando, an unctuous talk-show host whose tagline, “You look mahvelous!” entered the popular lexicon. In 2015, Crystal made his return to series television opposite Josh Gad in the FX series The Comedians. Crystal portrayed a superstar veteran comedian who is reluctantly paired with Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a late-night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide. Crystal’s many feature film credits include the buddy cop comedy Running Scared (1986), Rob Reiner’s comic fairy tale The Princess Bride (1987), and Danny DeVito’s dark comedy Throw Momma from the Train (1987). But his breakthrough role came in 1989 when he starred opposite Meg Ryan in Reiner’s When Harry Met Sally…, which became a romantic touchstone for a generation of moviegoers. Other iconic titles include Mr. Saturday Night (1992) and America’s Sweethearts (2001). He also starred opposite Bette Midler and Marisa Tomei in the 2012 Christmas family comedy Parental Guidance, which he also produced. In addition, he is the voice of one-eyed Mike Wazowski in Disney•Pixar’s animated global blockbuster Monsters, Inc. (2001), its prequel Monsters University (2013), and the Disney+ television series Monsters at Work, now in production for its second season. Crystal’s latest work includes the friendship comedy Standing Up, Falling Down (2020) opposite Ben Schwartz, and his most recent feature Here Today (2021), which Crystal co wrote, directed, produced, and starred in opposite Tiffany Haddish. As a director, Crystal was nominated for both an Emmy and a Directors Guild Award for his direction of the 2001 HBO movie 61, which told the dramatic story of the 1961 race between Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris to break Babe Ruth’s single-season home-run record. In addition to hosting the Oscarsnine times—most recently in 2012—Crystal has also hosted the GRAMMY Awards three times. His work as a host, writer, and producer on the televised awards shows has earned him 14 Emmy nominations and five wins. Crystal won a sixth Emmy for his 1989 HBO comedy special, Billy Crystal: Midnight Train to Moscow in which he was the first American comedian to perform in the Soviet Union. Other HBO specials include On Location, A Comic’s Line, and Don’t Get Me Started. Along with Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams, Crystal hosted HBO’s Comic Relief. These comedic telethons raised almost 75 million dollars to provide medical aid for the homeless in America. The recipient of the 2007 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Crystal has written five books, including Absolutely Mahvelous (1986), 700 Sundays (2005) and Still Foolin’ ‘Em (2014), as well as two children’s books, the New York Times best seller I Already Know I Love You (2004) and Grandpa’s Little One (2006). Crystal co-wrote, produced, and starred alongside Kevin Kline and Annette Bening in Have a Nice Day, a play that was recorded live at The Minetta Lane Theatre. It was released on Audible on November 2, 2018 and became an instant best-seller. In his 2013 New York Times best-selling memoir Still Foolin’ ‘Em: Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys? Crystal offers his heartfelt and humorous observations on aging. The audiobook version debuted at number one on iTunes and was nominated for a Grammy Award for the Best Spoken Word Album and won the Audiobook of the Year at the 2014 Audies Gala. Crystal made his Broadway debut in 2004 with the original production of his one-man show 700 Sundays*, for which he won a Tony Award. The Broadway production was taped in front of a live audience for an HBO special that aired in April of 2014, which garnered four Emmy nominations and was released on DVD that fall. The Critics Choice Awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. Historically, they are the most accurate predictor of Academy Award nominations. The 27th annual Critics Choice Awards show will be produced by Bob Bain Productions and Berlin Entertainment. The CCA is represented by Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig.

In the mid-1980s, Steven Spielberg came up with a story about a bunch of young kids who, on the verge of going their separate ways, join forces for one epic adventure. That movie, written by Chris Columbus and directed by Richard Donner, became The Goonies, Though the movie never hit No. 1 at the box office — it was held off by Sylvester Stallone’s second Rambo film — it was a significant hit nonetheless, ending 1985 as the year’s seventh-biggest film. It’s also become one of the decade’s most durable films, attracting new audiences through home video and streaming, and preserved for antiquity through the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. In the film, Joe Pantoliano played one of the Fratellis, the crime family that gives the kids plenty of trouble after they inadvertently discover the Fratellis’ secret hideaway. Pantoliano, who went on to appear in films like The Fugitive and The Matrix, along with a long recurring role as Ralphie on The Sopranos told us that making The Goonies was one of the best movie experiences he ever had, especially since it was done in the days before CGI.

The contestants take turns to answer general knowledge questions to build chains of correct answers.

When the film came out, it was derided, mocked, and ridiculed to no end, especially when it didn’t perform nearly as well as expected at the box office.

In 1978, Grease ran away with the year’s box office championship. Not wanting to let a good thing go to waste, Paramount gave the OK to a sequel. Unfortunately, most of the film’s stars weren’t on board for Grease 2, and the film was a major box office bomb, earning less than 10% of what the original had made. Surprisingly, though, the years have been somewhat kind, and the film has now gained a cult following. Didi Conn was of the few cast members from Grease who stayed behind at Rydell High for the sequel, and she talked to us about her memories of making it, including getting to know a young future superstar making her first movie appearance.

American Psycho is one of those movies that, like A Clockwork Orange before it, has been simultaneously respected and reviled for its violent nature. But while the film itself was polarizing, it’s difficult to find anybody who didn’t think Christian Bale was anything short of amazing in the role of a narcissistic serial killer. Of course, it was important that he looked the part, and that meant putting in a lot of work to make sure he was someone who’d enjoy spending a lot of time in front of a mirror. In fact, Bale told us he’d never spent so much time and energy on making himself look good.

Executive Producer Kevin Williamson and Ghostface on the set of Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream.” When the first Scream was made, screenwriter Kevin Williamson was an unknown quantity. At the time, he was making his living as an actor with bit parts in TV shows, films, and music videos, and he’d never had a screenplay produced. That, of course, changed in a big way after the success of Scream put him on the map. He went on to write two more of the Scream movies, and he’s an executive producer on the latest sequel. But what was he thinking when he wrote the first one? Quite simply, he told us, he needed to get something sold!

Second, she wanted the action to look as real as possible. Whenever possible, she had the actors — herself included — doing their own stunts.

DAVEED DIGGS Photograph by DAVID BUKACH When the Snowpiercer film was released in 2013, it derailed at the box office, earning less than $5 million in U.S. theaters. So, when a series based on the film was greenlit a few years ago, its success was far from guaranteed. But the show has definitely found its audience; its third season premieres tonight, and it’s already been picked up for a fourth season. You can count series star Daveed Diggs among those who, in retrospect, wasn’t sure whether the show would make it or not. But he’s now very pleased that it has.

Based on the Wondery podcast “Joe Exotic,” hosted and reported by Robert Moor, the limited series will center on Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel is breeding and using his big cats for profit. She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating rivalry. But Carole has a checkered past of her own and when the claws come out, Joe will stop at nothing to expose what he sees as her hypocrisy. The results prove dangerous. A NOTE FROM ETAN FRANKEL SERIES SHOWRUNNER/WRITER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER “JOE vs CAROLE is a wild ride. It’s a fun and rich journey into the story of people who live very extreme lives. When I took on this project a year and a half ago, I found Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin to be utterly fascinating, and this crazy tale about two big cat lovers quickly became an important story for me to tell. I hope that when people watch JOE vs CAROLE just maybe they’ll see these people that they thought they knew in a brand-new way. We knew it would take two extraordinary actors to portray these larger-than-life people as the complex, three-dimensional individuals that they are. John Cameron Mitchell is one of the most gifted and thoughtful actors I’ve ever worked with. He cares so deeply about the work, and his performance is breathtaking. And Kate McKinnon is simply remarkable. She is able to make us double over with laughter one moment and then break our hearts the next. It was an absolute thrill to watch these two exceptional actors morph into these roles.”

Photo Credit: Michael Kubeisy/Lionsgate Zachary Levi has obviously never played a single down in an NFL football game, yet he’s playing two-time MVP Kurt Warner in the new biopic American Underdog. Warner famously rose to prominence after spending time in the now-defunct Arena Football League and, for a time, working in a grocery store. Levi told us that, as an actor who’s had to work his share of odd jobs before he landed his first steady Hollywood gigs, he could relate to the journey that took Warner from bags to riches.

Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) stars in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream.” There would be no Scream without the terrifically twisted mind of Wes Craven. Of course, Craven had already given us Swamp Thing and the Nightmare on Elm Street series before premiering the Scream franchise in 1996. Courteney Cox, who had become one of TV’s hottest stars because of Friends, was cast in a key Scream role, one she’s returned to for each of the four sequels, including the new Scream. The latest film, of course, is the first one not to be directed by Craven, since he passed away in 2015. But, having worked so closely with him on four movies, Cox told us she’ll always have fantastic memories of Craven, both as a director and a friend.
