Former Jackass star Bam Margera is back in the spotlight with his inclusion in the new Tony Hawk video game, giving fans a chance to see him elsewhere after his absence in Jackass Forever. Margera and the Jackass team had a big falling out during the production of the sequel, and that seems to have forever put the kibosh on a possible return to the franchise.

Margera discussed the way things were left with Jackass during an interview with CinemaBlend to promote the new video game Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4. He was asked if there was any chance he could revisit Jackass or potentially resurrect his spinoff series, Viva La Bam, in some way. Margera said that the Jackass ship had sailed after what happened with the last movie.

"They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and...

Jackass’ Bam Margera has made up his mind about a potential reunion, and fans won’t be too thrilled. The former skateboarder became a popular culture icon thanks to the MTV shows that featured unforgettable stunt performances and pranks. It aired between October 2000 and August 2001, with reruns extending into 2002. Starring in this cringe comedy was a regular cast ensemble, including Margera, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Steve-o, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, and Preston Lacy.

In a recent CinemaBlend interview with Margera, the TV personality dished on the subject of returning to Jackass, which he was not entirely against; however, reuniting with his crew was out of the question. Explaining why, he said:

“They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had...

Bam Margera exited the Jackass franchise amid controversy during the production of Jackass Forever, the fourth feature film of the franchise. Now feeling that the best days of Jackass are long gone, Margera has suggested that the franchise is finished, meaning that a potential fifth movie should be called something else. Margera even has a particular title in mind.

Margera was one of the original stars of the Jackass TV show that spawned the franchise, which also included his hit spinoff series, Viva La Bam. In 2020, Margera was terminated from Jackass Forever, and he subsequently filed a lawsuit, arguing that he was wrongfully fired. The two sides later reached a settlement, but the details were not disclosed. While the future of the franchise isn't entirely clear, Margera shared a new video on Instagram sharing his thoughts on a possible fifth film happening.

It’s time to enter the Overworld for real.

After years of fans playing “Minecraft,” the game, the film adaptation has arrived, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Black plays an expert crafter helping Momoa and his compatriots return home and escape the weird, cubic world they have fallen into.

Here is everything you need to know about “A Minecraft Movie.”

What is the release date?

“A Minecraft Movie” comes out on April 4, 2025.

Is it streaming?

No, you will only be able to see the film in theaters for now. But, given that it’s a Warner Bros. film, it will be streaming on Max when it comes time for its streaming debut. No official date for that has been announced yet but we’ll update this post when we have one.

For now, check your local listings for tickets.

What is it about?

Per the official synopsis for “A Minecraft Movie...

Among the many criticisms that were hauled at A Minecraft Movie, was the fact that the film had decided to take the live-action route, rather than using animation to tell its story. This has worked out well for most video game properties, be it Arcane, Castlevania, or The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

While films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie have managed to make big money with animation, Sonic The Hedgehog has received widespread success in the live-action space. However, fans are convinced that A Minecraft Movie for all means and purposes, should have been an animated film. Torfi Frans Olafsson spoke to IGN to justify the choice to migrate the IP into live action.

A new official trailer has been revealed for A Minecraft Movie, the upcoming feature film based on the popular video game franchise. The release of the trailer comes ahead of the movie's theatrical arrival in 2025.

A Minecraft Movie features an ensemble cast that includes Jack Black as Steve, one of the characters from the original video game. The new trailer features Black's Steve serving as the narrator as the character's origin story is revealed. As shown in the video, Steve had "yearned for the mines" ever since he was a small child, taking a particular interest in one mine he was not permitted to enter. The trailer showcases how he one day ventured inside to discover the portal that takes him to a fantasy land where he can craft anything he wants. Also on display are some of the many animals inhabiting that world, along with the zombies and other...

A Minecraft Movie details reveal more about Jason Momoa's character, Garrett, with director Jared Hess calling him a "noob." Momoa stars as one of four misfits dealing with everyday struggles who are unexpectedly transported into the cubic realm from the famous video game, and must team up with an expert crafter to return home. Other than Momoa, the Minecraft Movie cast includes Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, Matt Berry, and Jennifer Coolidge.

During Minecraft Live 2024 (via ComicBook), director Jared Hess revealed more details about Jason Momoa's character in A Minecraft Movie. The director revealed that Garrett is a former world champion video gamer from the late 1980s who is stuck in the past and hasn't matured much since then. However, despite his gaming experience, he is inexperienced when it comes to Minecraft. Read his full comments below:

When it comes to stunts on Jackass, many people believe that there is nothing that would have stopped one of their crazy, often dangerous, usually stupid stunts from being carried out. However, it seems that one particular stunt was canceled thanks to star Steve-Os chance encounter with a transgender supermarket cashier on the day before he was set to undergo breast implant surgery in the name of comedy.

Speaking recently to Consequence of Sound, Steve-o revealed that everything was in place and planned to go ahead with the dubious procedure, but a sign from the universe gave the star reason to back out after speaking to the cashier. He said:

"On the day the scheduled surgery was supposed to happen, I was checking out at the supermarket, and the person ringing up my groceries was evidently transgender, and it struck me as a sign from the universe. So I asked...

"Minecraft" is, without exaggeration, the best-selling game in the history of video games. It is so wildly popular that it was an inevitability that Hollywood would one day come calling. That day has finally come: "A Minecraft Movie" is hitting theaters in 2025. We recently got a look at the first trailer for the film, which is a live-action interpretation of the wildly popular sandbox game, and to say that the internet was vocal in sharing thoughts on the trailer would be an understatement. Well, now someone has taken it upon themselves to show us what could have been, by giving that trailer the animated treatment.

Twitter user Alumio recently uploaded an animated version of the very same trailer that Warner Bros. released last week. Same voices. Same shots. Same everything else, only animated instead of live-action. As of this writing, the animated version of the trailer has 10.7 million viewers and nearly 300,000 likes.

Backed by The Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour,” Warner Bros Pictures’ A Minecraft Movie teaser trailer provides a first look at what’s coming with the first live-action feature film based on the biggest-selling video game in history.

The April 4, 2025 release stars Jason Momoa (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), Jack Black (the Kung Fu Panda films), Emma Myers (Wednesday), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (Just Mercy), and Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus). Nacho Libre‘s Jared Hess directs.

When Mel Brooks feature filmmaking debut "The Producers" hit theaters in 1968, it was both a critical/commercial smash and a bit of a scandal. Emboldened in part by the increasing permissiveness of the counterculture comedy era, Brooks pushed the outside of the envelope with a ribald sense of humor he couldn't indulge as a writer for NBC's "Your Show of Shows" and "Caesar's Hour" and outright shredded it by making light of the Third Reich with the film's fictional musical "Springtime for Hitler." Soon after the film's release, he was confronted in an elevator by a woman who told him "The Producers" was vulgar. Brooks fired back, "Lady, it rose below vulgarity."

This, I believe, is true of "Jackass." Created by Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville, this showcase for a gang of lovable skateboard-culture knuckleheads who subject themselves and each other to a series of physically/mentally...

The potential for Jackass 5 is uncertain as Johnny Knoxville is not currently feeling the urge to film another sequel. Despite not having the Jackass "feeling," Knoxville continues to write stunt ideas for a possible future project. Concerns about the physical toll on Johnny Knoxville from previous stunts may impact the likelihood of a Jackass 5.

Johnny Knoxville recently hinted at the potential for Jackass 5. He has been a key figure in the Jackass series, known for his fearless antics. Jackass Forever, the latest in the series, saw considerable success, which naturally led to questions about another sequel.

In an interview with ComicBook, Knoxville spoke about the possibility of revisiting his roots in audacious humor, while promoting his latest film, Sweet Dreams. He disclosed that while the desire for another go isn't currently burning within him, he continually conjures up stunts and sketches, storing them away for a possibly ripe future. Knoxville said:

"Uh No,...

The Jackass movies became a major hit, reaching a wider audience than expected due to their unique concept and daredevil stunts. Jackass Number Two was a rare sequel that outshined the original, with more polished and better-paced content. Jackass Forever recaptured the essence of the first movies, featuring a mix of old and new cast members who pulled off dangerous stunts with the same comedic flair.

The Jackass movies in order represent a nostalgic piece of aughts popular culture at its finest. Debuting on MTV in 2000, Jackass was fronted by Johnny Knoxville and featured now-iconic stunt performers such as Steve-o, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, and more. While parents and politicians were concerned about the influence the show would have on younger viewers who wanted to imitate the show's dangerous stunts, the outrage only added to the Jackass' notoriety.

Jackass star Steve-o continues to outdo himself and this time he was in London performing a stunt that ended up getting him detained by local authorities. The television personality jumped off the Tower Bridge promoting a comedy special and detailed what happened.

“I was detained by police after doing this jump off the Tower Of London Bridge yesterday, but they were totally cool, and understood that I’m just super excited to be taping my Third (and craziest by far) comedy special on Friday, July 14 in London (where I was born!),” Steve-o shared on Instagram.

Steve-o called the day “epic” that allegedly saw him getting interrogated by police.

Steve-o opens up about a disappointing reality check he faced during Jackass Forever. The actor, now 49 years old, has been a member of Jackass since his mid-20s, when Jackass first aired as a TV show. Since then, he has performed stunts for numerous other Jackass related content, most recently reuniting with his crew for Jackass Forever.

Steve-o reveals his complicated emotions in the filming of Jackass Forever. Getting honest with NME, the stunt performer revealed that filming Jackass Forever “was kind of a bummer” with everyone having aged so much since when they started. Steve-o even showed concern for co-star Johnny Knoxville’s Jackass work, “begging” Knoxville to stop performing stunts that hurt his head and induce potential brain trauma. Check out the full quote from Steve-o below:

This last Jackass movie… it was kind of a bummer, man. [Like the scene of Knoxville getting flipped by the bull and left with brain damage] It’s not fun to watch Knoxville get hit in the head anymore.

Are you ready to catch the fourth installment of the Jackass saga, Jackass Forever? Well, we have good news, as today we will tell you where you can watch Jackass Forever and what streaming platform to find it on.

Although unscripted television shows portraying ordinary people are as old as television itself, reality television as we know it really came to prominence in the early 2000s. Shows like Big Brother, Pop Idols, and Survivor ushered in a worldwide obsession with watching normal people in unusual situations or showing off their ‘talent’.

However, Jackass was something absurdly different. Hitting our screens in 2000, Jackass episodes premiered on MTV and followed an original crew of friends carrying out grotesque pranks and bone-breaking stunts that made viewers cringe in obsessive disgust. Controlling parents around the globe were up in arms about the show's provocative ‘indecency’ as they sat terrified their little Johnny was going to follow suit.

Marvel has recently unveiled half of a truly extraordinary wraparound cover by Scott Koblish for the upcoming giant-sized 700th issue of The Fantastic Four, featuring over 700 members, allies, heroes, and villains seen in Fantastic Four comics over the past 60 years as a variant cover for Fantastic Four #7!

Marvel is celebrating the monumental anniversary for Marvel's First Family in style, with a massive oversize issue continuing Ryan North and Iban Coello's critically acclaimed ongoing Fantastic Four series, and Koblish's wraparound cover is the icing on the cake of what promises to be an epically fantastic celebration. Shared by Marvel, the cover includes everyone from icons like Doctor Doom and the Watcher to forgotten figures including Sphinx, Overmind, and Gorr the Golden Gorilla.

The Jackass series debuted on MTV in 2000, quickly becoming one of the most popular television shows. It followed the antics of a group of friends as they engaged in outrageous stunts, pranks, and dangerous physical challenges. The show cast included Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ryan Dunn.

Despite parental and political worries about the show’s potential impact on younger viewers, it quickly skyrocketed in popularity. After three seasons of wading through constant censorship notes from MTV, Knoxville and his pals decided to end their run; thus began, Jackass’ successful transition to the silver screen era.

The Jackass franchise spawned several movies that were released between 2002 and 2022, in the following order:

Former Jackass star Bam Margera has reportedly been rushed to hospital with a “very serious” case of pneumonia.

The stunt performer and skateboarder is reported to have tested positive for Covid while in hospital, and is currently on a ventilator.

A report inTMZ citing “sources close to the situation” claims that Margera is currently undergoing treatment in the ICU of a San Diego hospital.

His condition, however, is said to be stable.

The Independent has contacted a representative of Margera for comment and confirmation.

Last year, Margera entered a 12-month drug and alcohol treatment programme.

Alongside Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Chris Pontius and others, Margera was one of the original members of the Jackass crew, performing stunts in the MTV series and subsequent film adaptations.

However, Margera did not feature in the recent sequel, Jackass Forever, and claimed that he had been fired partway through production after failing a drugs test.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville comments on where he stands with former co-star Bam Margera. Jackass originally started as a reality show on MTV, but has since become a successful franchise of feature-length films. Despite now releasing theatrically and featuring bigger budgets, the basic premise has always stayed the same, with Knoxville and his companions subjecting themselves to a series of gross, painful, and hilarious stunts. The fourth film in the mainline franchise overall, Jackass Forever features bigger stunts than ever before and earned generally positive reviews from audiences and critics alike upon its release earlier this year.

The cast for the Jackass films has generally stayed the same throughout the franchise, with several notable exceptions. In addition to Knoxville, who also serves as executive producer, the films usually feature Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-o, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey, and Ryan Dunn. Both Dunn and Margera were absent from Jackass Forever,...

Johnny Knoxville explains how Jackass 5 would look somewhat different from the previous Jackass films if they were to move forward with another installment. Having started out as a series on MTV in 2000, Knoxville and his friends made their long-awaited return to screens earlier this year for the fourth Jackass feature film, Jackass Forever. More than ten years on from the release of Jackass 3, audiences were delighted to see Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey reunite for another round of ridiculous stunts and hilarious gags.

Alongside these returning fan favorites, the Jackass gang was joined by a handful of newbies as they were initiated into the group through a variety of wild stunts. Jackass Forever welcomed Sean 'Poopies' McInerney, Jasper Dolphin, Eric Manaka, Zach Holmes, Rachel Wolfson, and Compston 'Dark Shark' Wilson to the much-loved franchise, with these new faces having certainly held...

Don't break out your Party Boy panties and your camcorders just yet, "Jackass" fans — the beloved series is not getting a revival as previously reported. There is still some great new content headed our way from the crew behind the franchise, but it's not going to be more "Jackass." In a soon-to-be published interview with /Film's Ethan Anderton to promote his upcoming Hulu series, "Reboot," "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville explained that there have been some misunderstandings with regards to the future of all things "Jackass." Indeed, "Jackass Forever" was likely the nail in the coffin for that particular brand of humorous hijinks.

With the guys getting older and recovery from injuries taking longer (and far more dangerous), it's really not a huge shock that "Jackass" isn't coming back. For those of us who love the guys and don't want to see them disappear completely, however, the good news is that...

"I feel like everybody knew him except me." HBO has unveiled an official trailer for an indie film titled My Dead Dad, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Fabio Frey. It's co-written and produced by Pedro Correa, who also stars in it as the main character. It premiered at the 2021 Woodstock Film Festival last year, and screened at numerous other fests including Austin, Mill Valley, and Filmocracy Fest where it won the Audience Award. A burnout discovers his estranged father has died, leaving him the responsibility of managing an apartment complex. With hopes of cutting ties, he's forced to grow up, learning about the dad he never knew through the eclectic tenants. Starring Pedro Correa with Raymond Cruz, Courtney Dietz, Simon Rex, Booboo Stewart, Steven Bauer, Chris Pontius, Nicholas Duvernay, and Nate Jackson. This would probably be a bit better if it had more humor in it, as this trailer seems so depressing.

Exclusive: Fabio Frey’s feature directorial debut My Dead Dad has been acquired by OneFifty for HBO Max where it will premiere on June 1st.

The film stars Pedro Correa—who wrote the project alongside Frey— as young burnout Lucas who, after hearing his estranged father has passed away, undertakes the responsibility of managing an inherited apartment complex in Los Angeles. Determined to sell off the complex without a second thought, Lucas meets the eclectic tenants and soon discovers his father was a different man than the one he knew.

The film also stars Simon Rex, Chris Pontius, Booboo Stewart, Courtney Dietz, Raymond Cruz, and Steven Bauer.

Jackass is making a comeback to the small screen.

Paramount+ has ordered a new series following the success of the movie Jackass Forever.

“Based off the success of ‘Jackass Forever,’ we’re working with the creators to continue the partnership with a new series, bringing even more ridiculous antics straight to Paramount+,” Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish said Tuesday, according to Variety.

Jackass returned to the big screen earlier this year with Jackass Forever, the fourth movie in the big-screen franchise.

The movie grossed 80 million from a 10 million budget and found itself on Paramount+ shortly after release.

The franchise kicked off on MTV as a TV series, and now, it looks like Paramount+ thinks a new series will be the best foot forward for the franchise.

The flick included classic cast members such as Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Danger Ehren, and Preston Lacy.

It landed at the top of the domestic box office in February, amassing 23.5 million, according to Variety. The movie reunited many of the original series cast members, including Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Danger Ehren, and Preston Lacy.

The tagline for Jackass Forever reads, “Some people never learn.” Thank goodness for that, because if they did, we wouldn’t have had this fourth instalment in the series, twelve years after Jackass 3D. You might have thought that Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the Jackass crew were getting a bit too old to be performing painful, stupid and life-endangering stunts of this magnitude, but oh no – they’re back and they’re as willing to seriously injure themselves for our entertainment as they ever were.

You essentially already know if you’re going to like Jackass Forever, because it’s exactly the same as the previous Jackass movies, in a good way. Throughout the film, Knoxville and the gang – including Steve-o, Chris Pontius,...

Earlier this year we saw Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Preston Lacy, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, and other new “Jackass” members return for the fourth installment, “Jackass Forever.” With every film installment, there is plenty of extra footage or various comedic bits that don’t make the theatrical cut, and there is normally a lot of good stuff left on the cutting room floor that ends up being put into a follow-up feature-length project.

More than 20 years ago, MTV debuted a little show late at night featuring a collection of gnarly dudes doing stupid stunts and pranking one another. That series, "Jackass," went on to be a global phenomenon, so far spawning four theatrically released films, the spin-off films of "Bad Grandpa," a handful of straight-to-video sequels, several spin-off shows including "Wildboyz," "Viva la Bam," and "Homewrecker," and more. The antics of a group of skateboarders and professional knuckleheads became an indelible part of pop culture.

Jackass.With the triumphant return of the Jackass gang, one of the few true events of theatrical moviegoing in the pandemic era, the franchise built on absurd stunts, crass hijinks, and bruised cocks has at last been seriously accepted as the masterful trash it’s always been. Although much Jackass analysis revolves around the on-screen content—from the cinematic form of bold stunts to the interpersonal dynamics and bodies of the cast—the uniquely digital nature of the series is central to its reclamation. It’s that ramshackle camcorder aesthetic, bordering on snuff compared to glossy Hollywood productions, that gives the film series part of its distinct appeal. As much as the naked bodies and buttholes, the illicit sensation of going to a multiplex to watch MiniDV tape makes the first Jackass movie what it is—even as the image resolution and budget have increased, there’s an intimacy and...

A staple of the comedy genre has forever been watching people get hurt, and nowhere is this more evident than in the continuing legacy of the “Jackass” franchise.

What started as a MTV reality series in which various jackasses performed increasingly stupid stunts for the benefit of the cameras before them eventually evolved into a four-film movie franchise spanning two entire decades.

“Jackass: The Movie” was released in theaters in 2002 and was intended to be the conclusion to “Jackass” – a feature film capper after a three-season run on TV. But after grossing nearly $80 million on a budget of just $5 million, “Jackass” the movie franchise was born.

Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Chris Pontius and many, many more continued to make fools of themselves for the camera in three additional feature films released across the next 20 years.

“Jackass: Number Two” arrived in 2006, while “Jackass: 3D” took advantage of Hollywood’s 3D...

Ready to get kicked in the face by an annoyed donkey?

This is the question that many “Jackass” stars have faced over the years, first on the beloved MTV prank show and then in the series of increasingly ridiculous (and weirdly endearing) movies. The latest “Jackass” endeavor, “Jackass Forever,” is now upon us, full of oversized contraptions, precarious situations, and serious self-injury that makes you say “ouch” aloud even if you’re in a crowded cinema. The fourth theatrical film in the franchise is once again directed by “Jackass” co-creator Jeff Tremaine, just so you know that the quality hasn’t been diluted at all.

But where can you watch Johnny Knoxville and the boys give themselves concussions? Read below to find out!

"Jackass Forever" just dropped last Friday across theaters, and the 20-plus year old cringe comedy brand laughed all the way to the bank.

It was, in a weird way, a battle of the independents this weekend at the box office, with two unusual (and preposterous) movies duking it out for the top spot. Both involved men hurling across the sky, and audiences chose the one without greenscreen.

The victor was the fourth in the Jackass series (sixth if you count the two “Jackass Presents” movies), “Jackass Forever.” The Jeff Tremaine-directed collection of stunts, gross-outs, and male bonding, co-produced by Spike Jonze and Jackass leader Johnny Knoxville, earned $23.5 million at the domestic box office, beating Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry in “Moonfall,” which had a dismal showing at around $10 million.

“Jackass Forever” and its low-fidelity gag reel, with its homespun aesthetic (save for an elaborate opening bit involving kaiju tropes and Chris Pontius’s sex organ) cost but a mere $10 million, forever staying true to its indie, up-from-skater-culture roots. What’s more, the intentionally immature celebration of self-harm,...

Paramount’s new Jackass Forever film has drawn condemnation from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which called for a criminal investigation into the production.

The film was released this week and so far has grossed an estimated $20 million. The sequel to 2010’s Jackass 3D, it is the fourth main installment and the fifth overall installment in the Jackass film series.

PETA claimed a stunt in which Johnny Knoxville and Steve-o provoke honeybees into stinging Steve-o’s penis (killing many of them), and another in which a scorpion is put in someone’s mouth and hit repeatedly until the animal stings are particularly worrisome.

The organization has sent letters to Los Angeles city and San Luis Obispo County prosecutors about the matter. PETA points out that the Paramount Pictures movie—which appears to have been filmed at least partially in Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo County—likely broke state animal protection laws.

The tag-line for Jackass Forever reads, “Some people never learn.” Thank goodness for that, because if they did, we wouldn’t have had this fourth instalment in the series, twelve years after Jackass 3D. You might have thought that Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the Jackass crew were getting a bit too old to be performing painful, stupid and life-endangering stunts of this magnitude, but oh no – they’re back and they’re as willing to seriously injure themselves for our entertainment as they ever were.

You essentially already know if you’re going to like Jackass Forever, because it’s exactly the same as the previous Jackass movies, in a good way. Throughout the film, Knoxville and the gang – including Steve-o, Chris Pontius,...

As Hollywood events slowly return to New York and Los Angeles amid the recent surge of Covid-19 cases, here’s a look at the week’s biggest premieres, parties and openings, including red carpets for Jackass Forever, Moonfall and Reacher.

Moonfall world premiere

Roland Emmerich’s end-of-the-world flick premiered at Tcl Chinese Theatre on Monday, marking the first official premiere event of 2022 after six weeks of red carpet cancellations amid the omicron variant. The director was joined by stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson, along with composer Harald Kloser and special guests Joey King and Heidi Klum. Following the Hollywood screening, Emmerich hosted an afterparty for premiere guests at his Los Angeles home.

Jackass Forever premiere

The Jackass Forever team, including Johnny Knoxville, “Danger Ehren” McGhehey, Eric Andre, Chris Pontius, Jason “Wee Man” Acuna and Machine Gun Kelly walked the red carpet for the film’s premiere at the Tcl Chinese on Tuesday.

“Jackass Forever,” the return of Johnny Knoxville and company’s absurd and R-rated prank and stunt show to the big screen, brought in $1.65 million at the box office in its Thursday box office previews from approximately 2,650 locations and screenings starting at 7:00 p.m. It opens on approximately 3,590 screens this weekend.

Paramount and MTV Entertainment’s “Jackass Forever” kicks off February and what is hopefully the start of signs of more life at the box office, and it also opens alongside another studio film, Lionsgate’s release of “Moonfall,” a disaster epic from Roland Emmerich.

“Moonfall” in its Thursday previews managed to bring in $700,000 from around 2,300 locations.

The early total for “Jackass Forever” was hampered when just under 300 locations were closed on Thursday due to the major snow storms that moved through the Midwest and on into the northeast, though most of those theaters, if not all, are expected to...

‘Moonfall’, ‘The Souvenir Part II’, ‘Belle’ among busy weekend.

Paramount Picitures’ non-fiction comedy Jackass Forever heads the new openers at the UK-Ireland box office this weekend, on a busy weekend that also features sci-fi Moonfall, festival favourite The Souvenir Part II and anime Belle.

The fifth theatrically-released film in the Jackass franchise, Jackass Forever reunites Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Chris Pontius and the gang of miscreants for what they claim is their final outing under the Jackass name; although this was previously asserted after the 2002 first film, Jackass: The Movie.

Forever opens in 537 locations – a significant increase on the previous films...

After a sleepy January mostly dominated by Spider-Man: No Way Home taking victory laps after its explosive December opening, February looks to be considerably more eventful. The star-powered slate includes a franchise follow-up (Death on the Nile) and a potential franchise starter (Uncharted) mixed in with a musical rom-com (Marry Me) and a comedy (Dog) to round things out, not to mention a potential boost to the specialty market once the Oscar nominations come out. The month should get off to a solid start this weekend with the latest Roland Emmerich disaster epic Moonfall and the return of the Jackass gang in Jackass Forever.

It may be a close match, but the weekend will likely go to Jackass Forever. Paramount is releasing the film on 3,600 screens and is expecting a gross in the mid-teens for the series’ fourth film (fifth when you count the associated Bad Grandpa). That would make...

In her efforts to repel British efforts to conquer France during the Hundred Years' War, Joan of Arc frequently credited a series of divine voices, angels and saints alike, as her guiding counsel. Doc Brown's idea for the time-travel-enabling flux capacitor came from a bathroom tumble and a concussion. The most profound ideas can come from the wildest places.

Surely, when we consider momentous occasions in human history, the reign of one Jackass-ed Party Boy merits a mention. One of many personalities presented by performer and "Wildboyz" co-host Chris Pontius, Party Boy has...

Ehren “Danger Ehren’ McGehey, Eric Andre, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius and Jason “Wee Man” Acuna attend the U.S. premiere of the fourth film in the main Jackass film series, Jackass Forever. It looks like the stars didn’t plan any insane stunts for the premiere, they were just grinning for the cameras and enjoying the party, which is probably a […]

The post ‘Jackass Forever’ Cast Members Walk Red Carpet appeared first on uInterview.

It’s no longer a shock, or even much of a surprise, to see full-frontal male nudity in a reckless youth comedy. But in “Jackass Forever,” it’s not just that there’s a whole lotta full frontal; by the end of the film, the nutsacks of half the cast members have begun to feel like family. The movie opens with a “Godzilla” parody, in which the residents of New York run screaming from the sight of a hulking dino reptile. Except that the shots of the giant beast were created on a miniature mock-up of Manhattan, and the green lizard king — as we’re shown in a setup shot — is actually the penis and scrotum of Chris Pontius, bedecked with a fake head and platelets. When people talk about the glory of experiencing movies on the big screen, I’m not sure if having this thing in your face...

Down with the patriarchy! Unless, of course, they themselves are down with torturing each other for our amusement, in which case, welcome back, Johnny Knoxville and Friends!

A dignity massacre just in time for St. Valentine’s Day, the sociological documentary “Jackass Forever” is an all-new collection of raucously perilous prankery from its modern masters, twelve years after the last one (“Jackass 3D”).

One can only assume the long pause was to give the gang a chance to get their nerve back up, while roping in diverse new comrades to the comedic possibilities of extreme, how-is-this-insurable slapstick.

To put it bluntly: If this is for you, it’s hilarious; if it’s not for you, it’s still hilarious. Just stay away. It’s been a hard couple of years dealing with an unseen menace, so there should be no shame in the cathartic laughter to be found in a...
