I was on board just hearing that Kevin James and Alan Ritchson were working together. However, that was further solidified when I found out that their project on the 2025 movie schedule was going to be “an absurd action-packed adventure where minivan mayhem meets professional hitmen.” That’s right, Playdate is going to be a wild action comedy about these two dads and their kids having one crazy afternoon, and between the synopsis and these first look photos, I’m so here for it.Playdate, which is being released by Amazon MGM Studios and will be available to stream with a Prime Video…
What is Quentin Tarantino‘s greatest movie? Before you answer, we’re going to wager you haven’t seen it — namely because it’s never been released. Not really. Back in July, IndieWire declared Tarantino’s best film to be “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair,” which combines both theatrically released parts of “Kill Bill” and was Tarantino’s original vision as one complete movie. After a handful of screenings at Tarantino’s own Vista Theater, Lionsgate is now giving “The Whole Bloody Affair” a proper release in theaters for the first time since it played Cannes in 2006. “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” will…

Ferrari, and the recent Best Picture nominee A Complete Unknown, had signed an overall deal with Paramount Pictures to develop, direct, and produce feature film projects for the studio. The first film as part of this deal is High Side, which will see Mangold reteam with Timothée Chalamet. While the exact details remain unclear at the moment, including the exclusivity, it raises a question about…
Captain Planet and the Planeteers remains nostalgic ’90s cartoon, and it’s impact is still felt by fans today, including Hollywood A-lister Glen Powell. He’s such a big fan of the environmentally conscious cartoon that he’s been synonymous with a long-gestating, big-screen adaptation since 2016. Now, as the project closes in on almost a decade of progress, there’s been a significant update. That reveal come from Powell himself, who got real about where things stand at this point.The 36-year-old Twisters star shared the Captain Planet details with Screen Rant while talking about his 2025 TV release, Chad Powers. Sadly, those who’ve…
Emily Blunt and Benny Safdie don’t share a ton of screen time in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” where Oscar nominee Blunt played rabblerouser-turned-steely-wife Kitty Oppenheimer, and Safdie appeared as “father of the hydrogen bomb” Edward Teller. They did, though, spend time together during the making of the film. Specifically, in the makeup trailer. More specifically, talking about what would become, three years later, Safdie’s lauded solo directorial debut “The Smashing Machine.” A sports biopic of an entirely different stripe, “The Smashing Machine” stars Dwayne Johnson as iconic MMA fighter Mark Kerr (aka The Smashing Machine), with Blunt portraying his long-time partner…
Emily Osment and Montana Jordan share the same “dream” guest star for Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage — and it isn’t anyone from the Big Bang Theory universe! Following a Saturday, Sept. 27, panel appearance at Los Angeles Comic Con, Osment exclusively revealed to MovieWeb that her “wish” would be to act alongside country music legend Dolly Parton. “I would love to have Dolly Parton on the show…We haven’t met Mandy’s grandma yet.” Jordan immediately agreed, joking that if the “Jolene” singer was ever on set with them, he might try to “trap her scent” in an empty bottle “so…
At the end of this week, Sean Combs – the rapper and record producer also known as Diddy – will be sentenced by a federal judge in the aftermath of his sex-trafficking trial. Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July, and he now faces years in prison. As the hearing draws nearer, new developments continue to arise, and there’s now been another. Legal documents reveal that Combs wants to address the judge during the proceedings, and his lawyer laid out his reasoning for that.Diddy opted not to take the stand during his sex-trafficking…
Last week marked the final late deadline for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Best of luck to all who play; the next two months will be an exercise in raw anxiety. Last year, Sundance screened 151 projects out of 15,775 submissions, a success rate of just under one percent. That ratio underscores a longstanding truth: Sundance has always been a crapshoot. My first festival was 1995, when the Narrative Grand Jury prize was split between Edward Burns’ “The Brothers McMullen” (Fox Searchlight acquisition) and Benjamin Ross’ “The Young Poisoner’s Handbook” (released by now-defunct home video company Cabin Fever Entertainment). Neither…
Paul Bettany, the actor best known for playing Vision (and J.A.R.V.I.S.) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had his breakout roles in films like A Beautiful Mind and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. However, one of his earliest and best roles was in the medieval action comedy A Knight’s Tale, where he played Geoffrey Chaucer, the creator of The Canterbury Tales. Almost 25 years have passed since the film’s release, but Bettany recently shared that he hasn’t been able to watch it again. The reason? He says he misses his co-star Heath Ledger too much. Ledger passed…
FX has a number of great shows out right now, which are streaming with a Hulu subscription. We’ve been treated to another show to binge on Hulu with Season 2 of English Teacher, which brought us back to Morrison-Hensley High School. I’ve been flying through the new episodes, and I’ve got to say, I feel extremely seen as a millennial. Let me explain further.While folks figure out how to watch English Teacher, I was there ready when Season 2 premiered on September 25th. Some of the best shows this season are when Evan is trying to teach his students, and…
