Despite being integral to the original series, Miranda Sanchez (Lalaine) is conspicuously absent from The Lizzie McGuire Movie. As a series regular in both seasons of the Disney Channel show, Miranda is one of Lizzie McGuire's (Hilary Duff) two best friends. Miranda, Lizzie, and David "Gordon" Gordo (Adam Lamberg) navigate the challenges of adolescence and the perils of middle school. Miranda is a likable Lizzie McGuire character who is a loyal and supportive friend to Lizzie. When Miranda makes poor choices, she always makes an effort to amend and learn from her mistakes.

When Lizzie McGuire ended after season 2, the story culminates with Lizzie and her fellow middle school graduates going on a class trip to Italy in The Lizzie McGuire Movie. Gordo, Kate Saunders (Ashlie Brillault), Ethan Craft (Clayton Snyder), Lizzie's brother, Matt McGuire (Jake Thomas), and her parents, Jo McGuire (Hallie Todd) and Sam McGuire (Robert Carradine), are...

The 47 Meters Down franchise is making waves with a third installment, The Wreck, set to start filming this year. Directed by horror veteran Patrick Lussier, the new film will focus on a father-daughter duo trapped in a shipwreck with hungry sharks. Despite mixed reviews from critics, 47 Meters Down and its sequel have been box office hits, paving the way for the intense third installment.

Its time to jump back into shark infested waters, as the 47 Meters Down franchise is getting a third installment thats set to start filming later this year. 47 Meters Down: The Wreck, is launching at the Cannes market, and will be written by series creator Johannes Roberts and screenwriter partner Ernest Riera, who penned the first two films. Roberts debuted the franchise back in 2017, and directed the first two entries. However, this time around, the third film will be helmed by horror veteran Patrick Lussier.

Paolo wasn't the villain in The Lizzie McGuire Movie – a theory suggests Isabella was. Paolo didn't lie to Lizzie, and Isabella was manipulative and wanted to sabotage Paolo and Lizzie. Despite the theory, Lizzie's strength shines as she overcomes challenges on stage.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie took Lizzie (Hilary Duff) and the audience to Italy for a unique adventure in which Lizzie became a pop star thanks to villain-in-disguise Paolo Valisari (Yani Gellman), but a shocking theory claims Paolo wasn’t the villain, after all. Lizzie McGuire is one of Disney Channel’s most popular and successful TV series of the 2000s, and to give proper closure to the story of the title character, a movie was released. The Lizzie McGuire Movie was set after the series finale and right after Lizzie’s junior high graduation, as she and her classmates prepared for high school.

Phantom Limbs: "Encyclopocalypse Publications will release Jason Jenkins’ Phantom Limbs in hardcover, paperback, audiobook and eBook on April 2nd, 2024.

"We can't just let him die." "Well, actually, we could..." Dark Sky Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror comedy creation called Departing Seniors, an original idea from writer / actor Jose Nateras. This premiered at FrightFest London and the Chicago Film Festival last year, with a release in February in theaters and on VOD coming up soon. Following an act of bullying, witty high school senior Javier develops psychic abilities which he must use to stop a mysterious serial killer targeting his classmates. Described as a slasher inspired by "The Dead Zone meets Scream." Ignacio Diaz-Silverio stars, with Maisie Merlock, Ireon Roach, Yani Gellman, Sasha Kuznetsov, Cameron Scott Roberts, and Ryan Foreman. It's also the feature directorial debut of actress Clare Cooney. This looks rather generic, of course, but with some fun high school humor. The main kid looks a lot like Alex Wolff, almost like they wanted to cast him.

We’ve seen Groundhog’s Day as a slasher with Happy Death Day, It’s a Wonderful Life as a slasher with It’s a Wonderful Knife, Freaky Friday as a slasher with Freaky, and Back to the Future as a slasher with Totally Killer. Next in the “this movie, but it’s a slasher” line-up is Departing Seniors, which mixes the high school slasher set-up with elements from Stephen King’s The Dead Zone. Dark Sky Films will be giving Departing Seniors a limited theatrical and VOD release on February 2nd, and with that date right around the corner a trailer has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.

The feature directorial debut of actress Clare Cooney, Departing Seniors was written by actor Jose Nateras and centers on high school student Javier, who doesn’t exactly fit in with the popular kids as a queer Mexican-American.

Dark Sky Films has released the trailer for their brand new slasher movie Departing Seniors this morning, announcing that the film hits VOD and select theaters on February 2.

Finals aren’t the only killer in Departing Seniors. Watch the trailer below.

From director Clare Cooney, Departing Seniors is said to “put a fresh spin on teen slasher movies like Scream and Freaky, updating them by putting its queer protagonist and characters of color front and center.” The official press release also previews, “It’s a horror-comedy with a sarcastic, whip-smart edge and appealingly complex characters.”

In the upcoming slasher, “After being bullied, high school senior Javier develops psychic abilities which he must use to stop a mysterious killer targeting his classmates.”

Here’s the full plot synopsis: “Mexican-American and queer, high school student Javier doesn’t exactly fit in with the popular kids. But he might be the only one who can save them.

It’s time for a new episode of the Awfully Good Horror Movies video series, and in this one we’re looking back at one of the least popular installments in my beloved Friday the 13th franchise. That’s the tenth entry, Jason X (watch it Here), also known as “the one where Jason goes to space”. To hear all about it, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Jim Isaac from a screenplay written by Todd Farmer (and some uncredited rewriters), Jason X has the following synopsis: The year is 2455. The Place is Old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the...

Twenty years ago, tween-girl cinema thrived. Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Amanda Bynes kicked off the junior rom-com eras -- bringing their Disney and Nickelodeon fans along for the ride. Big-screen coming-of-age stories, family sagas, and whimsical made-for-television movies defined youth culture in 2003. Pop music became more accessible to children. Bright colors and Y2K fashion arrived in full force. Kids were paying attention to the media and products advertised to them.

As a person who turned nine in '03, I vividly remember this era of family films. They were hopeful, playful, and rife with young characters seeking adventures. I'll never forget when my sister and I saw our first movies on DVD instead of VHS: "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" and "What a Girl Wants." For millennial fans, Hilary Duff's Italian excursion has been on repeat as a literal soundtrack of our lives. Amanda Bynes' British battle of the debutantes sharpened our rebellious side.

Ignacio Diaz-Silverio (“Primo”) has been set to lead the cast of a horror-comedy titled Departing Seniors, with Deadline reporting that production is now underway in Chicago.

Yani Gellman (Pretty Little Liars), Lorena Diaz (Chicago Med), Ireon Roach (Candyman), and Cameron Scott Roberts (The Walking Dead) also star in the movie.

From director Clare Cooney, “the film follows witty high school senior Javier (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio), who after witnessing an act of bullying, begins having psychic visions that reveal the horrifying truth behind a rash of supposed suicides at his school. It’s up to him and his sarcastic best friend to unmask the truth behind the grisly occurrences.”

Jose Nateras wrote the script for Departing Seniors.

Queensbury Pictures is producing.

Cooney said in a statement, “I couldn’t have asked for a more ambitious and exciting first feature. Jose’s sharp, funny, moving script is an ode to so many classic genre films,...

Exclusive: Filming is underway in Chicago on horror-comedy Departing Seniors, starring Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, the lead in recently announced Amazon series Primo.

Greg Newman and Queensbury Pictures are executive-producing.

Heather Young’s debut feature film Murmur won the Narrative Feature Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival, which announced winners at the end of its 26th edition Thursday. Merawi Gerima’s Residue was named honorable mention and won the fest’s audience award.

The jury called Murmur a “richly detailed and deeply humane drama” that “offers an insightful and sympathetic portrait of a lonely woman … who goes to self-destructive extremes while attempting to fill the gaping void in her life.”

Residue, awarded for its “at once inventive, poetic and angry about issues of identity, gentrification and the difficulty of returning home,” according to the jury, also won star Obinna Nwachukwu the Slamdance Acting Award.

The Documentary Feature Grand Jury Prize went to Higher Love, directed by Hasan Oswald.

Other audience winners included Brian Morrison’s Bastards’ Road, which won for Documentary Feature. Shoot to Marry, directed by Steve Markle,...

Heather Young’s drama “Murmur” has been selected as the winner of the narrative feature grand jury prize at the Slamdance Film festival.

The movie, which won the Fipresci Discovery Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival, stars Shan MacDonald as an older woman who, while performing community service at an animal shelter, begins compulsively adopting pets to ease her loneliness. Merawi Gerima’s first feature, “Residue,” won an Honorable mention from the jury and the Audience Award for Narrative Feature.

“The Grand Jury Award for Narrative Feature goes to Murmur, the quietly devastating debut feature from Canadian filmmaker Heather Young,” the jury said. “This richly detailed and deeply humane drama offers an insightful and sympathetic portrait of a lonely woman — affectingly portrayed by newcomer Shan McDonald — who goes to self-destructive extremes while attempting to fill the gaping void in her life. An Honorable Mention goes to Merawi Gerima’s mesmerizing first feature,...

Hey now, hey now! Happy anniversary to The Lizzie McGuire Movie!

It’s been 15 years since Lizzie McGuire, the fan-loved character played by Hilary Duff, made her jump from the small screen to the big screen. The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which was based on the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire, revolves around high school senior Lizzie taking a dream trip to Italy where she sings in front of thousands, links up with her famous Italian doppelganger Isabella and helps destroy a bad boy pop star’s reputation, just to name a few classic Lizzie hijinks.

When asked what she remembers most about making the film,...

Stars: Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, Matthew Modine, Chris Johnson, Yani Gellman, Santiago Segura | Written by Johannes Roberts, Ernest Riera | Directed by Johannes Roberts

Directed by Johannes Roberts (The Other Side of the Door), this ladies-in-peril shark thriller might lack the bite of last year’s The Shallows, but it delivers enough of the requisite suspense moments to ensure that it succeeds on its own B-movie terms.

Mandy Moore (TV’s This Is Us) and Claire Holt (TV’s The Vampire Diaries) play Lisa and Kate, two vacationing sisters who have come to Mexico to help Lisa get over being recently dumped by her boyfriend. (In an unexpected echo of Amy Schumer’s Snatched, Kate is a last-minute replacement for the now ex-boyfriend, which kind of makes you wish Schumer and Hawn had thrown in some sharks to liven things up a bit).

An expanded version of a failed TV pilot, whose first trailer debuted waaay back in 2013, this iteration of The Saint is already on the backfoot before it begins. You have a rejected pilot, “fixed” with reshoots, Twice(!) – which is why Ernie Barbarash is now the credited director and not Simon West (Con Air, Tomb Raider) who is now credited as Executive Producer instead – and featuring not one but Two previous Saints in the cast, Roger Moore and Ian Ogilvy, just to remind you of how good both actors were in the role… Oh, and then there’s memories of the Val Kilmer movie to sour the audiences view...

Sharks are once again the monsters in a movie. In 47 Meters Down starring Mandy Moore, Matthew Modine and Yani Gellman, two women in a shark cage are trapped under water and are sitting ducks for sharks but are humans the real antagonists who are encroaching on their environment? Matthew Modine and Yani Gellman talk about the importance of sharks in the ecosystem and why humans are the real villains.

What would you do if you were trapped in a cage deep into the ocean, surrounded by a handful of great white sharks? It’s a terrifying prospect, and ever since Jaws hit theaters back in the ‘70s, moviegoers have been fascinating with the danger surrounding sharks.

In the film 47 Meters Down, we see two women get trapped in such a circumstance. Will they stay calm, collected, and find a way out of this mess, or will they succumb to the forces of the sea? That remains to be seen.

Recently, Lrm had the opportunity to attend a press junket, and while there, we had the opportunity to attend a roundtable with several other outlets, and speak with co-stars of the film Matthew Modine and Yani Gellman, who play the characters Captain Taylor and Louis, respectively. Throughout they interview, they discuss the filmmaking process, the experience in shooting on location,...

Later tonight, 47 Meters Down swims its way into theaters everywhere, and the action-fueled horror movie has had quite a wild ride so far. It was originally set to be released on home media last summer, only to be picked up by Entertainment Studios and become destined to hit big screens everywhere this weekend.

During a recent press day, Daily Dead had the opportunity to chat with two of the co-stars in 47 Meters Down, Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, Stranger Things) and Yani Gellman (Urban Legends: Final Cut, Stoney from Jason X), who play a boat captain and potential suitor to one of the film’s heroines, respectively. The duo discussed what intrigued them about the project, the challenges of making the film, and recalled 47 Meters Down’s unusual journey into theaters.

What was it that initially attracted you to this project? Had you seen any of Johannes [Roberts'] prior films?

Matthew Modine...

Here’s a little-known fact about me: I love snorkeling. The last vacation I took down to Mexico, I spent five out of the seven days we were there floating around the ocean and several cenotes, taking in all the views of aquatic life that I could possibly get. But here’s the thing: once I get into dark water territory (where I no longer can see the bottom), that’s when I start to freak out a bit, and my own claustrophobia begins to set in. That being said, there’s a lot to 47 Meters Down that really left me unnerved, particularly once our protagonists end up stuck at the bottom of the ocean floor, with the still darkness of the ocean encompassing them, and no way to tell whether or not a shark is headed their way.

Not only did it tap into my very own worst fears,...

After easily handling the underperforming Dark Universe movie The Mummy, the indie thriller It Comes at Night and the true story drama Megan Leavey, Warner Bros.' superhero hit Wonder Woman faces its stiffest competition in its third weekend, going up against four movies in wide release. The most formidable of these competitors is the Disney Pixar animated sequel Cars 3, which has the widest release of these newcomers, along with Open Road's Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me, Sony Pictures' R-rated comedy Rough Night and Entertainment Studios' shark thriller 47 Meters Down. While the Wonder Woman box office run has been impressive thus far, Diana of Themyscira's reign atop the charts will come to an end this weekend, with Cars 3 most likely taking the top spot.

Box Office Mojo reports that Cars 3 will open in an estimated 3,900 theaters this weekend, while 47 Meters Down is expected to roll out in 3,500 theaters,...

Despite already sneaking on to DVD last year (before being pulled), the theatrical marketing machine for shark survival horror/thriller 47 Meters Down continues – with a second trailer for film, which is directed by Johannes Roberts (F, The Other Side of the Door), and stars Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, Yani Gellman, and Matthew Modine. 47 Meters Down arrives in Us cinemas on June 16th.

On the rebound after a devastating break-up, Lisa (Mandy Moore) is ready for adventure while on vacation in Mexico. Even still, she needs a little extra persuasion when her daring sister Kate (Claire Holt) suggests they go shark diving with some locals. Once underwater in a protective cage, Lisa and Kate catch a once in a lifetime, face-to-face look at majestic Great Whites. But when their worst fears are realized and the cage breaks away from their boat, they find themselves plummeting to the bottom of the seabed,...

This might sound strange but there’s a new trailer for shark survival horror/thriller 47 Meters Down - I say might sound strange because, at least in the Us, the film has already debuted on DVD. Those film fans that were quick enough could buy this in any supermarket prior to the films cinematic debut. Though you had to be quick, as the DVD was pulled from shelves after 47 Meters Down was picked up by another distributor for a cinema release!

Directed by Johannes Roberts (F, The Other Side of the Door), 47 Meters Down stars Mandy Moore, Claire Holt, Yani Gellman, and Matthew Modine. The film arrives in Us cinemas on June 16th.

On the rebound after a devastating break-up, Lisa (Mandy Moore) is ready for adventure while on vacation in Mexico. Even still, she needs a little extra persuasion when her daring sister Kate (Claire Holt) suggests they go shark diving with some locals.

"How deep are we?" "47 meters." "I'm so scared!" Another scary shark horror movie? Why not! A trailer has debuted online for a film titled 47 Meters Down, about two sisters who are trapped inside a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. This seems just a little bit freakier than The Shallows, considering they're trapped underwater, inside a shark cage, with only so much oxygen left before they run out. Mandy Moore and Claire Holt star, with a cast including Matthew Modine, Yani Gellman, and Santiago Segura. This looks exactly like you would expect - there's no surprises here. I'm curious if they'll keep the "47 Meters" title for America, since most aren't familiar with meters, but it works (and Fyi, 47 meters = 154 feet). Enjoy. Here's the first international trailer (+ poster) for Johannes Roberts' 47 Meters Down, from YouTube: Two sisters (Claire Holt & Mandy Moore), vacationing in Mexico, are trapped in a...

And finally ABC is in the game!  The only network not to pick up a new series (and still the only network not to formally renew a single old series) jumped into the pre-upfronts excitement in a major way on Thursday afternoon, picking up six new dramas, several of which sound rather ambitious. Before going into depth, the basics: On Thursday (May 7) afternoon, ABC ordered the Biblical epic "Of Kings and Prophets" and the Shonda Rhimes-produced "The Catch," as well as "Wicked City" (formerly "L.A. Crime"), "The Family" (formerly Untitled Jenna Bans), "Quantico" and the Untitled Pate & Fishburne Project (formerly "Boom"). ABC no doubt has plenty more new series pickups to do ahead of the network's Tuesday, May 12 upfront presentation.

Recently, ABC served up the new,official,synopsis/spoilers for their upcoming "Castle" episode 21 of season 6. The episode is entitled, "Law & Boarder," and it sounds quite interesting as Castle and Beckett will wind up in the extreme sports world for their latest case, and more. In the new,21st episode press release: When an up-and-coming professional skateboarder is gunned down by a mysterious motorcyclist, Castle and Beckett are going to get thrust into the world of extreme sports, where the death defying stunts won't be the only thing that’s dangerous. Guest stars will feature: Chase Clarke as Logan Moore, Maya Stojan as Tory Ellis, Anabelle Acosta as Holly, and Yani Gellman as Manny Castro. The episode was written by Jim Adler and directed by Tom Wright. Episode 21 is set to air on Monday night, April 28th at 9pm central time on ABC.

Pretty Little Liars closes the curtains on season four with one of the most intense episodes yet, but not before Alison (Sasha Pieterse) fills in a few blanks for us. And she’s not the only one with a story to tell. Cece Drake (Vanessa Ray) is in custody for the murder of Detective Wilden, courtesy of A, and she finally gets the chance to tell her side of the story, too.

With so much history packed between these two stories, fans were in for a varied blast from the past. Not only are there characters involved that we haven’t seen all season (some for several seasons), but some in capacities you never saw coming. Namely, Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty), who despite antagonizing the Liars more than once during Mona’s (Janel Parrish) reign as A, has actually been helping Ali. Which begs the question, how many people actually knew that Ali was alive?...

Beasties, prepare to watch Vincent and Catherine ‘fall in love all over again’ when The CW hit returns for its second season — tonight at 9 p.m.!

Beauty & The Beast fans were crushed when Vincent (Jay Ryan) and Catherine (Kristin Kreuk) were torn apart on May’s season finale, and after three long months, their suffering is almost over! “VinCat” finally becomes whole again on the Oct. 7 season premiere — though the reunion won’t come without a snag or two. HollywoodLife.com recently visited the show’s Toronto set to get the scoop directly from Jay and Kristin’s mouths.

“For [Catherine], it’s something she’s been wanting desperately,” Kristin says of the reunion. “She spent three months of her life sacrificing everything to find him, so it’s a relief. It’s like her life has been saved, in a way. And then very quickly, it becomes challenging. For [Vincent], it’s shocking.

Anytime I hear someone utter the words ‘lake house’ on an episode of Pretty Little Liars, I cringe. I already know that something bad is going to happen. And if I know it, I feel strongly that the characters should at the very least see something coming. Jenna’s back in town, there’s a surprise party happening – someone was clearly going to end up in the lake. Seriously, it plays like a broken record.

Jenna (Tammin Sursok) might not have been the obvious choice, especially with her recent return to the dark side – which is a reference to her loss of sight, not her moral compass – but it did facilitate that epic last scene between Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Shana (Aeriél Miranda). All roads usually lead back to ‘A,’ but now that Cece Drake (Vanessa Ray) is in contention for that spot, it only seems right that she’s...

Another funeral in Rosewood? Lucy gives HollywoodLife.com the scoop on who might already be six feet under!

Ever since the heart-stopping final moments of Pretty Little Liars‘ third season finale, fans have been asking, ‘What is in the trunk?’ But after chatting with Lucy Hale, we’re thinking the more appropriate question is, ‘Who is in the trunk?’ We recently caught up with the littlest liar of them all for a clue to the biggest mystery of season four.

“I can’t tell you much,” she told HollywoodLife.com – which is always a terrific way to start out. “But I can promise that we will find out the person who was killed last season.”

Say what? ‘The person who was killed?’ Did Lucy potentially spill some very tasty beans? Regardless of whether or not Miz Hale had a slip of the tongue, it’s certainly worth considering: If there...

Sean will make his ‘Pretty Little Liars’ debut on the show’s June 11 season premiere.

There’s a smolder-y new man coming to Rosewood — and this one’s got his own set of handcuffs! Sean Faris will appear on the fourth season of Pretty Little Liars, according to TV Guide Magazine, as Pennsylvania state police officer Gabriel Holbrook. (That’s right, someone’s about to be investigated on a state level!)

Literally nothing else is known about Officer Holbrook at the moment, but given Rosewood’s history of shady law enforcement officials — both Garrett (Yani Gellman) and Detective Wilden (Bryce Johnson) turned out to be grade-a scumbags — I’m thinking Gabriel isn’t exactly going to be palling around with the girls.

So what will he be doing in Rosewood? Since he ranks higher than the police we’ve known thus far, my guess is that he’s being brought in for something big.

ABC Family’s addictive hit drama Pretty Little Liars returns at 8 p.m. tonight to finish the second half of its third season. As always, there’s a bevy of gnarly twists and turns to come — especially in tonight’s installment titled “She’s Better Now.” (There’s a big hint of what’s to come for you.)

Pretty Little Liars returns with all-new episodes Jan. 8, and it won't take long for viewers to get some answers about who tried to kill Aria (Lucy Hale) on the Halloween special. "We're going to discover a little more about what happened," Brendan Robinson told HollywoodLife.com on Nov. 12 at TV Guide's Hot List Party in Los Angeles.

Yani tells HollywoofLife.com we may see Garrett pop up in flashbacks: 'There's still a lot of back story that needs to be explained.' We knew we'd be saying goodbye to a Rosewood resident on the Oct. 23 Halloween special of Pretty Little Liars, but that didn't make the death of Officer Garrett Reynolds any easier to swallow. HollywoodLife.com caught up with Yani Gellman for the inside scoop on how creator Marlene King broke the news to him; what it was like playing dead in a box with Lucy Hale; and when we might see Garrett, in some form, again. (Spoiler: It could be soon!) Read on for my full interview with Yani... First of all, sorry you had to die. I miss Garrett already. Thanks. It's weird to be talking from beyond the grave. When did you first find out Garrett was dying? Some of the actors told...

A badass and a baby bro are once again Good Wife-bound.

Anika Noni Rose and Dallas Roberts are slated to return to the CBS drama during its current fourth season, TVGuide.com reports.

The soon-to-be Walking Dead actor will resurface as Alicia’s younger brother during Stockard Channing‘s debut outing as their mother, while Rose — who now recurs on Private Practice — will reprise her role as a ruthless prosecutor rejoining the fold for a case.

Though Rose is currently only signed on for one Wife installment, Ep Robert King tells the site that “it could extend to three.”
