Kathryn Hahn is currently having her big moment in Hollywood following her scene-stealing performance as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, followed by her standalone show Agatha All Along. Therefore, with the Ohioan actress holding onto her headlines all year long, let’s take a look at her early life and discuss a few things that people might not know about this witchy wonder.

Considering how Kathryn Hahn showcased her iconic performance in the MCU spinoff series, it’s for sure that the actress isn’t new to the industry. Actually, she has had ample opportunities to flex her acting prowess, since Hahn has been a top-tier performer for well over a decade. But her acting skills aren’t all that’s interesting about Hahn. This treasure trove of talent has more to her than you might know.

1. Kathryn Hahn is an Ivy Leaguer...

Henry Cavill, who played Superman in The Dceu, aka the "SnyderVerse," is set to take to the skies again... in a giant Robot Lion.

THR reports that the Man of Steel and The Witcher star has signed on to play a lead role in Amazon MGM Studios’ live-action Voltron movie.

Cavill joins previously-cast newcomer Daniel Quinn-Toye, who previously appeared in Badults and served as Tom Holland’s understudy in Romeo & Juliet on the West End this spring. No details on either of their characters have been disclosed, but we assume they will play two of the five Voltron pilots.

The project is being helmed by Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber, and is based on the Japanese sci-fi show Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger Xv. World Events would later edit and dub the series as a syndicated show, naming it Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid '80s.

It’s not uncommon for celebrities to be the center of tabloid scrutiny, and Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to it. Since her rise to prominence in the mid-90s, thanks to the success of Friends, several rumors have flooded the actress’ illustrious career. But during her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Aniston finally set the record straight about some of her wildest rumors.

For the unversed, the Friends star’s relationship with former president Barack Obama was recently called into question, and addressing the wild tabloid rumor, Aniston laughingly added that it’s completely untrue.

Imagine waking up to a rumor that you’re having an affair with the former President of the United States. Sounds like a wild Hollywood script, right? Well, for Jennifer Aniston, it was reality. The Friends star finally addressed the bizarre and downright hilarious rumor linking her to none other than Barack Obama.

While most celebs might be furious, Jen’s cool-as-a-cucumber response left fans even more obsessed. Turns out, she’s not exactly mad about it. In true Aniston fashion, she handled the gossip with grace, humor, and a little bit of sass. After all, if you’re going to be part of an outlandish rumor, might as well make it one with a former President!

So,...

Jennifer Aniston’s claim to fame may have been her role as Rachel Green in Friends. But the actress has also been in the spotlight for her many high-profile relationships. While she only walked down the aisle twice, with Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, the 55-year-old has had her fair share of love affairs. Among those relationships was her romance with musician John Mayer. It was a coupling that drew significant media attention during its brief yet intense tenure in 2008 and 2009. However, it too came to an end.

Though the two seemed to enjoy their time together, their relationship ended about a year later. Shortly after their split, Mayer made subsequent comments that made waves in the press. In turn, it ended up prompting Aniston to respond to them in her characteristic, elegant fashion.

How Jennifer Aniston handled her public...

Marvel has a new TV show on deck, and this one should seem familiar.

The aptly named “Agatha All Along” is centered on Kathryn Hahn’s character from “WandaVision” and is indeed named for the catchy tune she sang in that series. The show will follow Agatha as she works to not only get her powers back after Wanda’s spell left her trapped in a TV character persona, but also builds her own coven.

Here’s who we know for sure might be in or associated with that coven in the “Agatha All Along” cast ahead of the show’s Sept. 18 premiere on Disney+.

Love scenes are difficult to film, but for a veteran like Jennifer Aniston, it’s no big deal especially when she’s sharing the screen with Jon Hamm. Known for Friends and We’re the Millers, the star was recently nominated for outstanding lead actress at the 2024 Emmy Awards.

Her performance in the hit series The Morning Show was lauded by fans and critics, thus earning her a deserving recognition. Despite not taking home the win, she’s still satisfied with how she delivered her role.

Jennifer Aniston Has No Idea What An Intimacy Coordinator Is

As a seasoned actress, no scene is too tough for Jennifer Aniston. Whether she does comedy or drama, she handles it like a pro. Even when it comes to filming steamy bed scenes, the 55-year-old star had no need for an intimacy coordinator.

Speaking with Variety,...

When Hollywood’s quintessential power couple, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, tied the knot in July 2000, their union was celebrated as the epitome of Tinseltown glamor. Both being at the zenith of their careers, their marriage was the subject of adoration and envy. However, the fairy-tale narrative took a dramatic turn when the couple announced their separation in 2005.

Although Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt announced that their divorce was amicable, their split quickly became one of the most talked-about events in Hollywood. Soon, Pitt’s affair with Angelina Jolie came to the limelight and people began painting Aniston as the victim of their scandal. But it seems the Marley & Me star had just one thing to say about the situation.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston happen...

Jennifer Aniston got pranked by her costars in the 2013 film We’re The Millers after they played the theme song of Friends while the cameras were rolling. The actress, known for portraying Rachel Green in the famed sitcom, seems to recall her memories of the show upon hearing the iconic song.

For someone who worked in a television series for ten years, it would be challenging to separate herself from her onscreen character, at least for the audience who watched and followed her through the years.

We’re the Millers is a 2013 comedy-crime film helmed by Rawson Marshall Thurber which saw Jennifer Aniston take on a different role as a stripper posing as Jason Sudeikis’ character’s wife. The film was a major commercial hit, earning over $269 million against a measly budget of $37 million.

Emma Roberts' true dream is to play Britney Spears.Mega

Emma Roberts is ready to play a pop princess!

In a new interview published Thursday, August 29, the American Horror Story star addressed rumors she could be casted for Britney Spears' upcoming biopic — adapted from her 2023 hit memoir, The Woman in Me — after the "Toxic" singer's former longtime assistant Felicia Culotta said Roberts would be a good choice for the role.

"I was like, I love her assistant," while speaking with a news publication, admitting, "it’s my true dream to play Britney Spears."

Jon Hamm agrees that it’s time him and “The Morning Show” costar Jennifer Aniston made a romantic comedy together.

While speaking to IndieWire about his recent Emmy nominations for the Apple TV+ drama – where he played a conniving tech billionaire and Aniston’s love interest in Season 3 – and FX’s “Fargo,” Hamm was asked about the possibility of starring in a rom-com. Aniston had previously said she’d like the pair to be in one together.

“I have no idea what it would look like,” Hamm said. “I think it would just have to be funny and fun and it would let us do what we both do very well, which is be charming and funny and compelling. I certainly wouldn’t say no to that.”

Hamm attributed the current resurgence of the genre to Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, who starred together in 2023’s “Anyone but You.” He...

Emma Roberts, the well-known actor and niece of Julia Roberts, recently got engaged to actor Cody John. The couple announced their engagement with a heartfelt post on social media. In it, the Scream Queens star flaunted her stunning engagement ring, much to the delight of fans and followers. Learn more about Roberts’ new bling and fiancé here.

Roberts’ romance with John reportedly began in August 2022 when they were introduced by mutual friends. Both being actors, the We’re the Millers star and In the Dark actor have a lot in common. John and Roberts’ relationship quickly blossomed, with the pair often spotted together at Hollywood events and on casual outings. Both Roberts and John keep their relationship relatively private, sharing glimpses of their life together only occasionally on social media.

Taking a bold stance to challenge the prevailing narrative surrounding “nepo babies” in the entertainment industry, Julia Roberts’ niece Emma Roberts became a vocal advocate for the conversation. Sitting down for an interview with the magazine Flaunt, the Madame Web actress attempted to reshape the idea about individuals with familial ties to established Hollywood figures.

Laughing off the idea that she got help with her career from her father Eric or aunt Julia Roberts, the rising star Emma Roberts instead noted that she lost more roles because of her familial ties. Meanwhile, prior to her reflection on being a nepo baby, Roberts dragged George Clooney into the debate to turn the idea of people hating nepo kids sexist.

American Horror Story actress Emma Roberts sat down for an interview with Flaunt magazine,...

Emma Roberts has been in some iconic movies like Valentine’s Day, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Scream 4, We’re the Millers, and The Blackcoat’s Daughter. And ever since she first stepped into the world of American Horror Story in 2013, she has become one of the most recognizable faces in the horror genre, at least on the small screen. But it seems like she hasn’t had the same kind of luck when it comes to feature films since the 2015 film Nerve. And it’s not like she hasn’t tried. Roberts has done rom-coms, science-fantasies, action-horrors, straight-up horrors, and whatever categories Madame Web and UglyDolls fall into. However, I think she has come up with the ultimate test for her fans in the form of Space Cadet.

Liz W. Garcia’s Space Cadet tells the story of Rex Simpson, a girl living in Florida who aspires to go to space.

Jennifer Aniston has had a lot of work lately. The We’re the Millers star can boast of an illustrious career, having been an active professional for a span of decades. That is what sets her apart from the rest of the crop. But it looks like those years of toil have finally begun to take their toll on Aniston. Her recent appearance on the red carpet in Los Angeles sparked a wave of concern as she seemed very tired. But her ‘tired’ look might be something entirely different.

Starting June 1st at 8pm Et/Pt, join this married couple for a weekly bash filled with playful banter, behind-the-scenes movie insights, and delicious dishes from surprise Food Network chefs.

Rewatching your favorite films with loved ones and lots of laughter is a great opportunity.

So grab your popcorn and tune in to Dinner and a Movie on TBS.

The post Married Couple Jason Biggs & Jenny Mollen Host Revamped ‘Dinner & A Movie’ On TBS appeared first on Hollywood Outbreak.

The strike-shortened 2023 production slate has left moviegoers with a lighter summer movie calendar than many have come to expect in recent years, but TBS is hoping that fans will take the opportunity to spend more time watching old movies at home. The cable network announced that married couple Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen have been tapped to host a revival of “Dinner and a Movie,” the cooking show that features recipes that can be paired with films.

“Dinner and a Movie” originally aired on TBS from 1995-2011 and was famously hosted by chef Claud Mann and comedian Paul Gilmartin. The revival will air on Saturday nights at 8pm Et beginning on June 1. Each episode will feature a movie (“Aquaman” will be the inaugural selection) alongside cooking segments, games, and surprise guests.

Future episodes of the show will feature the films “We’re the Millers,” “The Greatest Showman,” and “Avengers: Endgame.”

For some people, timing is everything, especially regarding life planning. The problem with meticulous plans is no one can account for the unknown, and a wrench in the works can throw the entire strategy out of whack. In Let’s Have Kids!, Emma and Phoebe decide to get pregnant simultaneously to navigate motherhood together. However, their friendship becomes tested when only one conceives, and the other is left on the sidelines. Karen Gillan and Zoë Chao lead Let’s Have Kids! as two best friends on opposite ends of a life-changing era.

Let’s Have Kids! is Black Adam and Due Date writer Adam Sztykiel’s directorial debut. Sam Richardson, Max Greenfield, K.J.

Will Poulter’s arrival in the Hollywood circuit was a nondescript event followed by a splattering of teenage comic roles and anti-heroic sidekicks. It wasn’t until his arc in Jeremy Allen White’s series The Bear that the audience began seeing the actor as a true male lead, worthy not only of the spot at the top but looking every inch deserving of it. Quiet, focused, centered, and gravitational — something about Poulter’s role as Chef Luca drew the audience in like moths to a flame. The attraction to his character didn’t lie in his composed charm but in the unnamed, unspecified weight that he seemed to silently shoulder in his self-isolated corner of the world.

Most stories that begin with “saw something on Twitter” don’t end well.

But for Meg Bellamy, the actress who’ll make her debut playing Kate Middleton on Netflix’s “The Crown” December 14, a social media post about an open call audition became a life-changing experience.

“I was a big fan of the show at the time,” the newbie actress, who didn’t even have an agent when she saw the post, told IndieWire. “I just thought, ‘Nothing to lose! I’m going to apply!’ And as soon as I applied, my neighbor actually texted me and said, ‘You should apply for this.'”

One might assume that if random neighbors are telling you to throw your hat in the ring, Bellamy’s resemblance to the future Princess of Wales was often remarked upon, but she says it was never mentioned to her. The parallels only became obvious when the...

The cast of Friends used collective bargaining to level out their salaries. As an ensemble cast, they wanted to be treated as equals as their wages grew from $22K per episode to $1M. Each cast member of Friends earned around $90 million in base salary alone from the show before the addition of any backend bonuses and ongoing royalties from syndication, racking each actor up an impressive net worth. For 10 seasons, the Friends cast was considered the gold standard of sitcom television, but where do they stand financially today? Here is the net worth of the Friends cast ranked from richest to poorest.

One of the biggest box office surprises in 2013 was the comedy film "We're the Millers," which featured Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter as a ragtag group of amateur drug smugglers posing as a family in the hopes of bringing home a massive payday. The road trip comedy was a huge financial success and is considered by many to be one of the very best films of Sudeikis' career. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber ("Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story"), the film also features a knock-out supporting cast including Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Ed Helms, Molly Quinn, Luis Guzman, Thomas Lennon, Ken Marino, Tomer Sisley, Matthew Willig, and the feature film debut of Sam Richardson.

We’re the Millers fans aren’t likely to find out what happened to David, Rose, Kenny, and Casey because a sequel isn’t in the cards.

The 2013 comedy left fans with a cliffhanger. “The Millers” ended up in witness protection, living in the suburbs, running a marijuana side hustle. Questions were left unanswered like: Did David and Rose really end up together? And what role do Kenny and Casey play in the faux family?

We’re the Millers 2 ‘is probably not gonna happen’

Actor Will Poulter who played Kenny Miller said that he doesn’t think a sequel will ever happen. “I don’t think so, but I got a lot of love for Jennifer [Aniston] and Jason [Sudeikis] and Rawson [Marshall Thurber], our director. I would happily work with any of them again, but I think We’re Still the Millers is probably not gonna happen,” he told US Weekly in 2022.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn fulfills the promise he made at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, when we spied a metal incubator in the chambers of Sovereign leader Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) that housed the artificial superbeing Adam Warlock. Now in the conclusion of Gunn’s trilogy, Adam emerges – albeit prematurely – from his cocoon, charged by his mother and the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) with destroying the Guardians and returning Rocket (Bradley Cooper) to the latter, who created Rocket as part of his vile attempts at creating a perfect race.

Played by British actor Will Poulter, this version is quite different from the character most fans of Marvel Comics may be familiar with. While both are incredibly powerful cosmic beings, the print version (who debuted as Him in the pages of Fantastic Four in 1967) has vast superpowers, supreme intelligence, and is something of a godlike figure,...

We might be entering the dog days of summer but Hulu isn’t slowing down. The streamer’s list of new releases for August 2023 is a pretty impressive collection of content.

The biggest Hulu original this month is season 3 of true crime comedy Only Murders in the Building on Aug. 8. This time around Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd are joining the already-stacked cast that features Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. This season’s central murder appears to take place at a theater (outside the building) but I think we’ll let it slide.

That’s far from the only worthwhile original in August as Aug. 2 sees the premiere of the third and final season of superb comedy Reservation Dogs. That will be followed by South Korean sci-fi series Moving on Aug. 9, Solar Opposites season 4 on Aug. 14, and A Murder at the End of the World on Aug. 29. Of course,...

Audiences were eager to revisit Avatar: The Way Of Water when the smash hit sequel hit streaming.

The James Cameron film debuted on both Disney+ and Max on June 7, soaring to the top of Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week of June 5 to June 11 and racking up an impressive 1.9B viewing minutes between the two services. According to Nielsen, the film was of particular interest to the younger crowd with 75% of viewers under 50 and 50% under 35.

Viewers were also still flocking to Netflix to catch new episodes of Manifest during this window, and the series saw a 117% increase in viewing week-over-week to achieve 1.6B viewing minutes and No. 2 on the overall list.

Another new entrant on the overall list was Never Have I Ever. Following the premiere of Season 4 on June 8, the series pulled 917M viewing minutes, making it to No. 4 on the overall list. Considering this measurement window didn...

The Gabrielle Union-starring rom-com The Perfect Find and new seasons of deceptive baking sensation Is It Cake? and The Witcher, marking the beginning of the end of Henry Cavill’s starring run, are some of the much-anticipated titles still set to come to Netflix this month.

In The Perfect Find, Union plays a fashion editor who, after a public breakup and career implosion, starts working for her former rival Darcy Hill (Gina Torres) and catches the eye of a younger videographer (Keith Powers), who happens to be the boss’ son. As a romance blossoms, Union’s character begins to question what she really wants from the next phase of her life. The film, directed by Numa Perrier, is based on Tia Williams’ award-winning novel of the same name and also stars Janet Hubert, D.B. Woodside, Aisha Hinds, La La Anthony and others.

More deceptive desserts are on the menu...

As we creep towards summer, Netflix has a hot new list of fresh content, including the final season of “Never Have I Ever,” the sophomore season of ‘Human Resources” and the highly anticipated sixth season of “Black Mirror.”

Kicking off the start of the month on mega streamer are lots of family-friendly goodies like both “Nanny McPhee” and “Nanny McPhee Returns,” “Kicking and Screaming,” “Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” and the “Angry Birds Movie.” But the adults won’t be left out of the conversation, as more mature flicks and series like “Jarhead,” “Funny People” and “We’re the Millers” are also hitting the platform this month.

And it wouldn’t be Netflix without its originals. “Take Care of Maya,” “Extraction 2” and the Sarah Snook-led “Run Rabit Run” will land on the site in June. And even if this isn’t enough to get you watching, Netflix will be streaming its Tudum festival on Saturday,...

Fans are saying farewell to Manifest and Never Have I Ever.

For the week of June 5 to June 11, the series dominated Netflix’s English-language series list. Manifest as Season 4, Part 2 took the top spot with 78.15M hours viewed in the week after it debuted on June 2. The enthusiasm surrounding the final episodes also boosted Season 1 back into the Top 10 with 18.18M hours viewed.

Devi Vishwakumar’s senior year was met with near equal excitement, as Never Have I Ever Season 4jumped to No. 2 on the list following its June 8 debut. In the first few days of release, Season 4 racked up 76.21M hours viewed. It would not be surprising to see Never Have I Ever tally another successful week during the next measurement window, when it will have been available for the entire seven-day span.

Those new releases pushed Fubar to No. 3, though the series still drew 42.28M hours viewed after two weeks at No.

It’s official, The Mother is one of Netflix’s most popular films of all time.

The Jennifer Lopez action thriller has continued to dominate the streamer since it debuted over Mother’s Day weekend. It tallied another 16.48M hours viewed for the week of May 29 to June 4, making it the most-watched film on the service for the fourth week in a row. With 229.30M total hours viewed, it is now No. 8 on the Most Popular English Film List, replacing Purple Hearts and bumping The Irishman off the list entirely.

The film still has time to make its way up the most popular list. Its 28-day premiere measurement window will end on June 11, and it is already inching fairly close to its next two opponents on the list — Extraction with 231.3M hours viewed and The Adam Project with 233.2M hours viewed.

Other films on the English-language list this week were The Boss Baby,...

It’s probably not getting an Oscar nominations anytime soon, but “The Mother” has bested Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” where it counts: Netflix viewership metrics. Jennifer Lopez’s thriller film has entered the streamer’s list of Top 10 most popular English-language films at No. 8, knocking Scorsese’s three-and-a-half hour mobster epic out of the upper echelon.

Netflix announced the news on Tuesday, along with the release of viewership numbers for the week of May 29 to June 4. “The Mother,” which has streamed for four weeks after premiering on Netflix May 12, has now been watched for a total of 229.30 million total hours by Netflix subscribers. That’s enough to place it between “Extraction” (231.340 million hours) and “Purple Hearts” (228.69 million hours) on the all-time list, and bump “The Irishman,” which peaked at 214.57 million hours viewed after its first 28 days on the streamer, from the list.

Netflix’s all-time Film list now looks like this:

“The Mother,...

Get ready for a continuation of the recurrent rotation between “The Super-Mario Bros.” (Universal) and “John Wick: Chapter 4” (Lionsgate) as #1 and #2 on PVOD charts. Both films (each priced at $19.99) will likely add two more weeks minimum back and forth atop the lists after a similar battle the last two.

Netflix meantime has about as top-heavy a list of older theatrical releases, with only one original making their top 10 (in tenth place). Of note there — “To Leslie,” virtually unknown before Andrea Riseborough’s surprise Oscar Best Actress nomination, initially reached #1 before dropping to a still notable #2 (behind the 2013 comedy “We’re the Millers”).

“John Wick” kept “Smb” from a second week at #1 when it was released. But this week, “Smb,” by far the biggest domestic theatrical hit for 2023 so far, returned to #1 at both iTunes and Vudu. “John Wick” still leads at Google Play, but that site usually lags for a few days,...

Netflix gained a new competitor last month (sort of) when HBO Max and Discovery+ combined forces to create the confusingly-named Max. With its list of new releases for June 2023, however, Netflix doesn’t have too much to worry about.

This month is filled with some major Netflix original titles, not the least of which is The Witcher season 3 volume 1 on June 29. Though star Henry Cavill is set to leave the Polish folklore/video game adaptation in season 4, he remains very much entrenched as the titular Witcher in this next go-around. Other big TV hits include Manifest season 4 part 2 (June 2), Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources season 2 (June 9), and animated King Kong series Skull Island (June 22). That’s not even to mention the return of Black Mirror season 6. That still has yet to receive a release date but we have no doubt it will be properly epic once it arrives.

Jason Sudeikis recently recalled a playful conversation he had with Owen Wilson while they were on the set of Hall Pass.

During production on the 2011 comedy, which also starred Steve Merchant, Jb Smoove and Larry Joe Campbell, the actors were filming a scene in a sports bar that involved them eating wings and talking.

“It was my first time being in a big studio movie, like lead, Owen and I are on the poster type thing,” Sudeikis said during an appearance on Hot Ones. “We’re going around, and we shoot like all people around the thing. You know, you have to keep moving the camera if you have the time and money, which they usually do for studio movies.”

He continues, “There were hot wings — they weren’t this hot,” he joked as he appeared to be visibly struggling with the wing he’d just eaten on the YouTube series.

Exclusive: As production on his new actioner Den of Thieves 2: Pantera continues, Christian Gudegast has been set to write and direct a new film on mixed martial artist Royce Gracie and the birth of the Ultimate Fighting Championship for frequent partner Tucker Tooley Entertainment.

The Untitled Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Project takes place on the night that Gracie proved Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as the most effective fighting style, one that would ultimately become a major component of today’s UFC mixed martial arts. It more specifically chronicles Gracie’s debut in UFC 1 on November 12, 1993, when the fighter achieved the unthinkable during the organization’s inaugural competition. This night that had him besting three competitors is considered to be that on which the UFC was born.

Derived from Japanese jiu-jitsu, which is rooted in samurai traditions, Gracie Jiu-jitsu formed in Brazil in the 1920s when Japanese fighter Mitsuyo Maeda moved from Japan to...

For the past 20 years, Jason Sudeikis has been one of the most prominent voices in American comedy. The actor and comedian came into the world with at least one showbiz connection -- his uncle is George Wendt of "Cheers" fame -- but he has carved out his own unique space in film and television, outwardly the clean-cut straight man, but with deep reserves of cynicism hidden underneath a bright smile. Sudeikis got his start with the Second City improv troupe before eventually being hired by "Saturday Night Live," where his career really took off. Since working on the show for a decade, he has developed a thriving career that encompasses television, independent dramedies, and big-budget blockbusters. 

His filmography showcases a keen eye for both interesting characters with unexpected facets to their personality and projects that capitalize on his strengths as a performer. Over the years, Sudeikis has earned rave reviews from both audiences and critics,...

Jason Sudeikis said his soccer coach character in Ted Lasso wasn’t initially intended to have an endlessly optimistic personality.

During an interview with The Guardian, published online Sunday, the We’re the Millers actor explained that the original Ted Lasso, which he had created for a comedy skit years before the Apple TV+ series was created, was more “belligerent.”

The first season of the show debuted in 2020, around the same time as a complex political landscape and election. After looking at “the culture we were living in,” Sudeikis decided to change the way the character is portrayed altogether.

“I’m not terribly active online and it even affected me,” the Fool’s Paradise actor said. “Then you have Donald Trump coming down the escalator. I was like, ‘Ok, this is silly,’ and then what he unlocked in people.”

Sudeikis, who attended a White House press briefing with his Ted Lasso cast...

“Who are we going to trick into making our bats–t movie?”

That’s the question Adele Lim said she faced as she and her partners puzzled over how to get their travel comedy “Joy Ride” made. The answer, the “Crazy Rich Asians” writer said at the movie’s SXSW premiere, where her film got a warm reception, turned out to be Lionsgate. “Joy Ride” — which follows a young Asian woman who travels to China with her friends on a business trip — became a highlight at Lionsgate’s CinemaCon presentation in April.

After years of seeming to fear the funny, Hollywood studios like Lionsgate are making a concerted effort to bring live-action comedies back to theaters. The problem is that comedy now pervades theatrical genres. Superhero movies, romantic stories and horror movies all seem to require a wink and a nudge these days. With so many ways to get a chuckle,...

Signature Entertainment has acquired U.K. and Ireland rights to sci-fi thriller “The Astronaut,” starring Emma Roberts (“We’re the Millers”) and Laurence Fishburne (“The Matrix”), from Highland Film Group.

General William Harris (Fishburne) arranges for her to be placed under intense NASA surveillance in a high security house for rehabilitation and medical testing. However, when disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, Walker fears that something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth.

The deal was negotiated between Signature’s director of acquisitions and TV...

Will Poulter can currently be seen playing Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Although the film is playing in just about every theater out there, that doesn’t mean that Poulter can’t be mistaken for someone else… even if it’s an animated character. While speaking with GQ, Will Poulter said that someone recently mistook him for Sid, the bully from Toy Story.

“A guy at a urinal in LA last week turned to me and said, ‘You’re in Toy Story, right?’” Will Poutler said. “And I was like, ‘Well, that was animated.’ I don’t want to be rude.” The actor admitted that comparisons between himself and Sid aren’t exactly new, and he hasn’t helped it by previously dressing up at the character. “I also appreciate there’s a meme going round of me—I dressed up as Sid from Toy Story for anti-bullying week,...

Will Poulter revealed in a recent GQ magazine interview that he was mistaken for the “Toy Story” villain Sid by a moviegoer during a recent trip to Los Angeles.

The actor, who recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Adam Warlock in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” spoke out on often being reduced to his physical attributes by the media and fans. Poulter’s transition from goofy “We’re the Millers” teens to Marvel heartthrob has gotten plenty of attention over the last few years.

“A guy at a urinal in L.A. last week turned to me and said, ‘You’re in “Toy Story,” right?’ And I was like, ‘Well, that was animated,'” Poulter said. “I don’t want to be rude. I also appreciate there’s a meme going round of me — I dressed up as Sid from ‘Toy Story’ for anti-bullying week. So arguably I haven’t helped my case.
