Saban Films has acquired Danny A. Abeckaser’s crime drama “The Perfect Gamble,” which stars David Arquette and Daniella Pick Tarantino.
The feature, which has completed production, is set to debut in theatres in the first quarter of 2025 followed by a digital release.
“The Perfect Gamble” tells the story of two best friends who get out of jail in New York City and relocate to the Easter European country of Georgia where they open an illegal underground casino. Only then do they realize the town is run by the Russian mob, meaning the duo need to figure out a way to keep their hustle going while staying alive. Pick Tarantino plays the girlfriend of one of the friends.
Abeckaser directed the film, which was shot on location in Georgia and Israel.
He has previously collaborated with Arquette on “BlackJack: The Jackie Ryan Story” and “Mob Town.” The latter was also distributed by Saban.

Like Spirit Halloween seizing a once-beloved store, Silver Scream Con moved into the old stomping grounds of Rock and Shock — New England’s premier horror convention, which came to an end in 2019 — at the Dcu Center in Worcester, Ma for its three-quel on September 13-15.
It was a full circle moment for Silver Scream mastermind and Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas, whose experiences attending Rock and Shock inspired him to start his own convention. Having quickly outgrown its previous venue, the Doubletree hotel in Danvers, Silver Scream Con III’s new setting was able to accommodate even more horror fans for three days of horror, music, gore, and more.
The guest list included: Scream‘s David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Lee Waddell; Cabin Fever‘s Eli Roth, Cerina Vincent, and Jordan Ladd; Terrifier‘s Damien Leone, David Howard Thornton, Lauren Lavera, Elliott Fullam, and Amelie McLain; Halloween‘s Nick Castle,...

Greg Fitzsimmons’ You Know Me, an exceptionally tight comedy special dropping tonight on YouTube, is one of those shows only made possible by decades of flexing comedy muscles in clubs. “I’ve been doing it for a long time,” Fitzsimmons conceded when I talked to the comic this week. “I go on the road 30 weekends a year, and when I’m not on the road, I’m in L.A. pounding out sets locally. And it’s been like that from the beginning.”
Fitzsimmons, who came up in the Boston scene alongside comedians like David Cross, Marc Maron and Bill Burr, talked to me about keeping it fresh as a stand-up, getting started in the business alongside Joe Rogan and rubbing shoulders with other notorious comedians along the way.

With recent starring roles in disaster movie blockbuster Twisters, cool-as-you-like Richard Linklater joint Hit Man, and Sydney Sweeney rom-com Anyone But You, Glen Powell is one of the most instantly recognisable stars in Hollywood right now. And yet, in the first image from his upcoming co-written, co-created, and self-starring half-hour college football comedy series Chad Powers, Powell is virtually unrecognisable (and not in a Leonardo DiCaprio actually-very-recognisable Killers Of The Flower Moon way either.) Check out the full transformational shot of Powell below:
It's as if Tom Cruise and David Arquette were somehow merged together in a lab, ain't it? Based on the eponymous sketch character from Eli Manning's ESPN+ docuseries Eli's Place, in which the NFL legend donned a tonne of prosthetics to fool some unsuspecting college football hopefuls, Chad Powers — an eight-episode, half-hour Hulu comedy co-written by Powell and MCU alum Michael Waldron — will see Powell play...

Exclusive: Utopia will be teaming with Lionsgate on the stateside theatrical release of Francis Ford Coppola’s dystopian epic, Megalopolis when it hits theatres on Sept. 27.
Utopia will create and implement specialty marketing, word-of-mouth, and non-traditional theatrical distribution initiatives targeting moviegoers.
Utopia as behind such movies as the critically acclaimed Shiva Baby and the Oscar shortlisted Holy Spider.
Said Coppola: “I am confident we are in great hands with Lionsgate, and Robert and his team at Utopia will be a tremendous addition. They have proven that there is success in an artist-first approach while also making bold moves, especially at a time when our film business often shies away from daring endeavors. I know Utopia will help Megalopolis discover untapped audiences and opportunities for its theatrical launch alongside Lionsgate.”
Added co-founder Robert Schwartzman: “The visionary, inventive, and cinematic epic that is Megalopolis is exactly the kind of film that excites us at Utopia.

From facial wars to a penguin friend, wandering surfers and Haitian immigrants in Miami, the independent film market is fun, thoughtful, varied and contending with a faster cadence of high performing studio wide releases.

Actor Andrew Shue has moved on after a messy divorce from former Good Morning America star Amy Robach.
Robach became the basis for headlines with her GMA3 co-star T.J. Holmes as it became public that the two may have been having an affair while both married to others.
At the time of those headlines, Robach and Shue were still married, while Holmes was with Marilee Fiebig.
Robach and Holmes maintain that they had been separated from their spouses while dating.
Ironically, Robach and Holmes’s spouses began dating one another as the former ABC News anchors continued their relationship and launched a new podcast.
During her The Good Half premiere event this week, Shue’s sister, Elisabeth Shue, gave an update about Shue amid his new relationship.

A reserved man with some unresolved childhood issues returns to his hometown for the funeral of a parent. This isn’t only the premise at the heart of Robert Schwartzman’s well-meaning yet timid feature “The Good Half,” but also a recurrent foundation on which many a melancholic American dramedy, from “Elizabethtown” to “Garden State” to “This Is Where I Leave You.”
Pointing out this thematic repetition isn’t necessarily to knock down one of cinema’s favorite topics — after all, familial grief is among the most shared and relatable of human aches. And what are movies, if not an echo of those experiences? But you still go into a film like “The Good Half” hoping that it has something of its own to say on the pains of bereavement. Instead, it just lands like a medley of similar films that came before it.

As far as brief internet research has uncovered, Kurt Russell is the only actor in history to have acted next to Elvis Presley, to have played Elvis Presley, and to have played an Elvis Presley impersonator. The first was in "It Happened at the World's Fair" in 1963, when the 12-year-old Russell infamously kicked Elvis in the shin. The second was in the biographical miniseries "Elvis," release in 1979 and directed by John Carpenter. The third, as easily the least popular, was Demian Lichtenstein's 2001 heist movie "3000 Miles to Graceland," a largely forgotten and critically lambasted piece of scuzz cinema on the latter-edge of Quentin Tarantino knockoffs.
And we all likely remember the post-"Pulp Fiction" era with clarity. Many filmmakers tried to capture the flippant violence and ultra-witty banter that Tarantino pioneered, to largely mixed results. "Thing to Do in Denver When You're Dead," "2 Days in the Valley," "Goodbye Lover,...

Lala Kent has been caught up in many feuds during her time on reality TV, but we didn’t expect the Vanderpump Rules star to go up against Scream veteran David Arquette.
It all started Sunday evening when the actor appeared alongside Danielle Cabral on Watch What Happens Live.
Host Andy Cohen turned his attention to Spree, a movie in which Arquette and Kent co-starred together.
While they never shared the screen, they did cross paths while promoting the flick, and it sounds like it wasn’t a pretty experience.
“I felt a little attitude, know what I’m saying?” Arquette dished.
“I wasn’t trying to give attitude. I was like, ‘Why am I getting attitude?’”
Lala Kent issues a statement
Cohen wondered whether Arquette felt like he was filming scenes for Vanderpump Rules.
“Exactly,” he responded.
In the aftermath, Kent took to Instagram stories to apologize to the 52-year-old.

Spoilers for "Scream 3" to follow.
Although many "Scream" fans will insist there's no such thing as a bad "Scream" movie, Rotten Tomatoes certainly disagrees. The original "Scream" and "Scream 2" were well received by critics, while "Scream" 4, "Scream" (2022), and "Scream VI" all landed in the 60-80% range, but "Scream 3" is certified rotten. With only 41% of critics leaving positive reviews, and 38% of audiences saying they enjoyed the film, "Scream 3" is widely considered the worst entry in the entire slasher franchise. As the Rt critics' consensus reads: "Despite some surprising twists, 'Scream 3' sees the franchise falling back on the same old horror formulas and cliches it once hacked and slashed with postmodern abandon."
I, for one, have always appreciated "Scream 3," even if large sections don't quite land for me. The film works best when it's focusing on Sidney (Neve Campbell) and her attempts to move...

Fans of The Big Bang Theory should get ready for the release of another spin-off — the upcoming series, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
This time we will get a comedy about Georgie and Mandy learning about family life and its nuances in Texas. Mandy will most likely not be the only wife of the older Cooper brother, because in Tbbt it became known that he was divorced several times and also became a successful entrepreneur.
Georgie dropped out of school at the age of 17 and got a full-time job at a laundromat, where he met his future bride. Mandy was 29 at the time, but Cooper Jr. lied about his age. The girl later learned the truth, but was already pregnant.
Reagan Revord Is Hesitant to Return to the Tbbt Universe
The new project will also feature some of the Young Sheldon cast, though it has not been officially confirmed who will and won't return.

"Thinking back on it now, it feels like there's two halves of my life." Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for an indie film titled The Good Half, which first premiered at last year's Tribeca Film Festival. This is getting a quick theatrical debut in July (with Q&a screenings for two nights only) before hitting VOD later this summer. Nick Jonas, one third of the famous swanky boys known as the Jonas Brothers, stars as Renn Wheeland who returns home to Cleveland for his mother's funeral. Once there, he forges new relationships while healing old ones, before confronting his problems and trying to face his grief. The festival also adds: "featuring grounded & moving performances by a fantastic ensemble cast, this tender family dramedy offers an honest and nuanced approach to grief, regret, and healing." This seems sweet and charming, with some clever humor worked into the script about grief and loss.

The Og Woodboro final girl is returning to the Scream franchise after the series got a new stab at continuing when Ready or Not directors Matt Bertinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett revived the story with the 2022 sequel. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette would all make appearances in their respective characters in the fifth film. However, when it came to the 2023 sequel, Scream VI, Campbell’s Sidney Prescott would notably be missing for the first time in franchise history. The story would pick up from the point-of-view of the Carpenters, played by Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. Neither star will be returning for Scream 7, paving the way for Campbell’s return…after the pay dispute that kept her out of the last film was settled.
Variety reports that the former Party of Five star confirmed that the studio, Spyglass Media Group, met her request and she replies with gratitude.

Actress Courteney Cox, who shares a daughter, Coco, with her former husband David Arquette, reflected on her upbringing, acknowledging instances where she hesitated to intervene in certain situations despite sensing that something wasn’t right at the time.
Cox opened up on the ‘Minnie’s Questions’ podcast, expressing, “I didn’t want to step in even though I knew something wasn’t right because she would get so mad at me. I did understand, and I should’ve trusted myself, and I should’ve stepped in.”
“I’m not saying I made her who she is, but you do see things in other people, whether it’s just always taking care of people and being the nicest person. And I mean, that’s one of the things with age, I’ve learned to say no, I’ve learned to have boundaries,” she added.

“The Good Half,” a comedic drama starring Nick Jonas, has been acquired by Utopia and will be released in theaters this summer.
Utopia, which was co-founded by “The Good Half” director Robert Schwartzman, is partnering with Fathom Events for preview screenings on July 23 and July 25 in 900 theaters in North America. Those showtimes will feature a virtual Q&a with Jonas and Schwartzman, moderated by “Mad Men” actor Kiernan Shipka. “The Good Half” will likely get a traditional theatrical release later in the year.
“The Good Half” premiered last June at the Tribeca Festival, where it was seeking distribution. Though Schwartzman runs Utopia, representatives stress that he independently produced “The Good Half” before his own company acquired the film nearly a year later.

Drew Barrymore revealed on a recent episode of her daytime talk show that she was told to dial her performance back during the making of the 1999 romantic comedy “Never Been Kissed.” Barrymore starred in the film as Josie, an insecure copy editor who has never had a real relationship. The movie was notable for Barrymore as it marked the first official title under her Flower Films production banner.
“At that time, people were very weary of actors being producers,” Barrymore said. “A lot of it wasn’t necessarily working, and it didn’t mean because you were an actor, you knew how to produce the film. And it was about the economics. So if you didn’t make the film work, and you produced it as an actor, you are likely to not be able to do it again.”

Courteney Cox may be answering the Scream call one again, with sources saying the actor is in talks for the upcoming Scream VII.
Cox originated the role of reporter Gale Weathers in 1996’s Scream, and has appeared in its five sequels. The return of Cox adds another jolt to the project, which has been revamped following the departure of star Jenna Ortega, the firing of actor Melissa Barrera and the exit of director Christopher Landon last year. Spyglass has assembled a new iteration of the film, with Scream franchise creator Kevin Williamson stepping into the director’s chair and original star Neve Campbell agreeing to return after sitting out the previous installment over a salary dispute.

The Wes Craven-directed film, featuring a ghost face-masked killer on the loose hunting down Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, won acclaim for its meta presentation of horror movie tropes, while breaking the rules of the typical horror film.
Scream also brought about several sequels, and even a TV series.

A few months ago, the Scream franchise seemed dead and buried.
Despite a seventh installment getting the official greenlight last year, Melissa Barrera was let go from the franchise due to social media posts about the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Jenna Ortega later left the flick due to her commitments to Wednesday Season 2.
After losing its two leads, the movie then lost director Christopher Landon.
In a surprising twist in the tale, Sidney Prescott is returning as the main attraction.
Neve Campbell took to social media Tuesday to reveal that she had closed a deal to return for the seventh installment of the slasher movie franchise.
Neve Campbell previously walked away from the franchise
The news is shocking because she famously walked away from the franchise ahead of Scream 6 following a pay dispute.

Consider this the latest twist -- or, more accurately, a pair of twists -- in the "Scream" franchise's shock-filled history. After the 2022 film brought back the franchise in style with the fifth well-received entry (both among critics and especially at the box office), reuniting the original trio while introducing a new cast of younger characters led by Melissa Barrera, the series seemed to be right on track. That trajectory hit a bit of a snag when reports came out about Spyglass lowballing icon Neve Campbell for "Scream 6," followed swiftly by the controversial decision to fire new franchise lead Barrera from the seventh "Scream" film after her vocal support for Palestine in a series of social media posts, not to mention co-star Jenna Ortega's decision to drop out altogether.
Though many assumed that the latest installment would be left for dead, however, the series looks like it's coming back...

One of my all-time favorite movie quotes comes from David Arquette as Dewey Riley in Scream 2 when he says, “How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isn’t merely a subtle form of manipulation, used to lower people’s expectations, thereby enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation?”
There’s something about Land of Dead that just screams this quote at me. Pardon the pun. My point is that George A. Romero’s 2005 zombie return looks on the surface like any B-movie fly-by-night mid-2000s zombie fest. And it’s dressed that way on purpose. Those familiar with the subtle and effective way Romero was able to land haymakers in our faces without ever telegraphing as much as a jab will assume I’m talking about the socio-political nuances of the film. While true that Romero is a master at that, I will leave that to those smarter than myself.

Within the reality of the Scream films, the murders committed by various maniacs wearing Ghostface costumes have inspired a franchise of movies called Stab – and in Scream (2022), we saw a glimpse of a moment in Stab 8 that showed a different sort of Ghostface. This one worn a metallic mask, had short sleeves on their costume, and was blasting away at someone with a flamethrower. Now the collectible makers at Neca have taken to social media to reveal that their latest Ghostface action figure is inspired by that moment in Scream (2022) / Stab 8! This thing is called the Ultimate Ghostface Inferno action figure, and you can see images of it at the bottom of this article.
