Miles Heizer is heading to the front lines in Boots. Inspired by former US Marine Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine, the upcoming eight-episode drama series hails from creator, co-showrunner Andy Parker and showrunner Jennifer Cecil.

Set in 1990, Boots follows charming underdog Cameron Cope (Heizer), a bullied, gay high school student who impulsively joins the Marine Corps with his straight best friend, Ray (Liam Oh), in hopes that he’ll finally be made into a “real man.” It’s a dangerous move at a time when being gay in the military meant a prison sentence or worse. The two friends plunge into Marine Corps boot camp — amid both literal and metaphorical land mines — joining a platoon of young men on a harrowing journey of transformation.

Noah Pritzker’s Ex-Husbands is about how things end: relationships, marriages, chapters in lives, and lives themselves. It’s also about things not ending—the way marriages and marital problems roll on and parents remain flawed, fallible people. And whichever side of this equation Ex-Husbands is musing on, it’s full of memorably mellow humor.

New York dentist Peter Pearce (Griffin Dunne) is nonplussed to learn that his father, Simon (Richard Benjamin), has decided to file for a divorce after some six decades of marriage. Delivered in a disarmingly matter-of-fact manner, their conversation sets the comedic tone for the rest of the film. Ex-Husbands is the sort of funny movie that has few actual jokes. It makes us laugh just by having characters spell out the absurdities they’ve encountered in the simplest terms, like a man in his 80s talking about how excited he is to get back in the dating game.

"As you guys get older, you're gonna have to work harder to find time for each other – but it is well worth the effort." Greenwich has debuted an official trailer for an indie awkward dramredy called Ex-Husbands, arriving for release starting in February 2025. This initially premiered back at the 2023 San Sebastian Film Festival and toured to many other fests including last year's Palm Springs & Sarasota Film Festivals. Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette were last seen together in the film After Hours, the 1985 dark comedy from Martin Scorsese, though they're time together in this new one is brief. When Peter Pearce flies to Tulum, crashing his son Nick's bachelor party, Peter realizes he's not the only Pearce man in crisis. The indie film stars Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette, along with Richard Benjamin, Miles Heizer, & James Norton. Most of this takes place in Mexico where Dunne messes with his son's party and his friends.

Exclusive: Greenwich Entertainment has acquired Ex-Husbands, a dramedy starring Oscar nominee Griffin Dunne, which the company will release in approximately 50 markets in the U.S. and Canada and on home entertainment platforms early next year.

Written and directed by Noah Pritzker, Ex-Husbands follows Peter Pearce (Dunne), a Manhattan dentist wryly floundering in a late midlife crisis, as he tries to stay close with his directionless sons and chart a new course in life. Peter is stunned when his elderly father (Richard Benjamin) tells him he’s decided to divorce Peter’s mother after 65 years with the unlikely prospect of taking one last shot of finding true love. Six years later, with his father in a nursing home, Peter is decorating his own bachelor pad, finding himself out on his ear at the behest of his wife (Rosanna Arquette) of 35 years. His eldest, under achieving, self-defeating...

Romance author Emily Henry now has five of her most recent novels set to be adapted for the big and small screens. Henry went on a rom-com writing spree that began with Beach Read, which came out in the summer of 2020. She has published a book a year since then, with People We Meet on Vacation coming out in 2021, Book Lovers arriving in 2022, Happy Place released in 2023 and Funny Story hitting shelves this year.

Three of Henry’s books received adaptation optioning deals for films, with two of them attaching directors. Starting in 2022, multiple studios made the decision to adapt various Emily Henry books into movies. The Writers’ and Actors’ strikes likely delayed any moves in casting, but a fourth novel has just been optioned by Jennifer Lopez’s production company for a television series adaptation at Netflix.

“Not to make a Parenthood episode out of it or anything but!!! Mother’s Day looking a little different this year!

Of course Maya Rudolph brought her Beyoncé impression back to Saturday Night Live this week… and of course she had to go back on Hot Ones.

Rudolph once again played the pop icon during her SNL hosting gig this week and tried to eat more painfully hot chicken wings as a guest on the talk show Hot Ones. (Rudolph’s Beyoncé previously visited Hot Ones in a March 2021 SNL sketch.) This time, Beyoncé — decked out in full Cowboy Carter gear with a cowboy hat — let host Sean Evans (played by Mikey Day) know right away: “It’s a pleasure for you to have me.

Saturday Night Live celebrated Mother’s Day by declaring what we already knew: Maya Rudolph is mother.

In her monologue to kick off this week’s SNL, the former cast member admitted that hosting the episode before Mother’s Day is a special honor because she has four kids of her own. Then Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman came out to tell her: “You’re not just a mom. You’re mother.” In fact, she has “achieved extraterrestrial mother status,” they raved, and Rudolph just laughed it off before getting deadly serious: “You’re right.” That kicked off a glamorous,...

Shortly after the end of his parents’ 35-year marriage, writer-director Noah Pritzker found comfort in the written word. What resulted is now known as Ex-Husbands, a drama-comedy about Griffin Dunne’s Peter Pearce, a New York dentist who’s still reeling from his parents’ divorce six years earlier. Peter must now also come to terms with his dying father (Richard Benjamin) and his own impending divorce from Maria (Rosanna Arquette).

Serving as the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s closing night film on Jan. 13, Pritzker’s second feature follows Peter to Tulum, Mexico, where he reluctantly crashes the bachelor party that his youngest son, Mickey (Miles Heizer), organized for his oldest son, Nick (James Norton). Together, the trio must find a way through their own individual problems as their family begins anew. Pritzker recently spoke with THR about working out his own familial struggles on the page and screen and...

After a world premiere at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and its North American premiere over the weekend at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Noah Pritzker’s (Quitters) second film goes for a mix of Woody Allen, John Cassavetes, Paul Mazursky, Noah Baumbach and other white male filmmakers, past and present, who enjoy basking in the midlife marital crisis in which many guys find themselves trapped. While not on the level of those acclaimed filmmakers, in this case, Pritzker manages to cast his net wider into an early-, mid-, and late-life crisis over three generations of the men in the Pearce clan.

The result is an engaging indie exercise that’s for sale to any distributor who finds promise in a premise that might be a tough sell for mainstream buyers despite a game cast that lifts it up a notch or two. Art houses would seem to be its theatrical future,...

Noah Pritzker’s San Sebastian competition feature ‘Ex-Husbands’ stars Griffin Dunne and James Norton

Luxbox has picked up international sales rights to Noah Pritzker’s San Sebastian competition feature Ex-Husbands and has sold the film to Avalon in Spain and September Films in Benelux.

UTA is handling North American rights for Pritzker’s second feature about three generations of men in the same family simultaneously experiencing marital disappointment.

Perhaps deciding that the relationship tribulations of white, coastal-American men of medium-to-high class-privilege levels — which were well-served on the big screen in previous decades — have been rather overlooked of late, writer-director Noah Pritzker goes back to the well of male midlife neurosis for his sophomore feature and dredges up not quite enough to fill up one amiable indie dramedy. Powered largely by the affability of Griffin Dunne playing a reluctant pending-divorcé whose aging father has recently left his aging mother and whose adult son is having woman troubles of his own, “Ex-Husbands” which world-premieres at the San Sebastian Film Festival, is likable enough in intention, but flounders en route to its destination. Not unlike its befuddled protagonists, who can’t seem to translate meaning well into doing well.

Noah Pritzker’s bittersweet father and sons tale Ex-Husbands (aka Men Of Divorce) world premieres in Competition at the San Sebastian Film Festival on Sunday as one of the few U.S. productions to be accompanied by its cast this year thanks to its SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.

Griffin Dunne co-stars as a New York dentist who is reeling from his wife’s demand for a divorce after 35 years of marriage, opposite James Norton and Miles Heizer as his sons.

In search of some respite, he unwittingly travels to the Mexican resort of Tulum the same weekend as his oldest son’s bachelor party, where it emerges that he is not the only one suffering a life crisis.

The mainly Spanish press gave the warm-hearted picture – exploring family bonds and questions about love, life and death – an enthusiastic reception at a packed 8.30 am screening on Sunday morning ahead of a gala screening this evening.

UK actor James Norton said that film crews are “making the ultimate sacrifice” during the Hollywood strikes while speaking at a press conference for Noah Pritzker’s Ex-Husbands at the San Sebastian International Film Festival (Ssiff).

“Many many crew members are also suffering. There are so many people who are affected by this. Every single department - caterers, grips, sparks…It’s a huge huge problem,” Norton said. ”And for them, not much is going to change. They’re making the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.

Although it’s not clear how the Manchester-born actor met the Australian star but the troublesome interaction certainly left a lasting impression on Parker.

Taking to his Instagram page to share a preview of a post which he initially posted on his Threads account, Max caused a social media storm by revealing what actually happened.

He penned: “Chris Hemsworth somehow opened my locked cubicle door and caught me p*****g whilst picking my nose. Imma treasure that moment,” alongside a smug-faced emoji.

The impressive list of Selena Gomez movies and TV shows has grown over her lengthy career in show business, and she keeps getting better with every subsequent role. There aren't many people as young as Gomez who can trace their acting careers back through three different decades, but the multi-talented performer is one of those rare cases. She originally got her start on TV screens as a child on Barney & Friends and her career was launched into high gear through other children's programs. Gomez is unique among Hollywood stars because she was able to successfully shed her child-star image, and branch out into more mature roles.

Not limited to acting alone, Selena Gomez has also established a successful music career for herself and has even produced hit shows like Netflix's 13 Reasons Why. Though she is a star in her own right and has led TV shows and movies, Gomez's...

Spain’s San Sebastian film festival unveiled its first group of competition titles Friday, naming a typically eclectic mix of established art house favorites — Cristi Puiu, Joachim Lafosse, Robin Campillo — and rising talents, including Maria Alche, Benjamín Naishtat and American debutant Raven Jackson whose first feature, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, will be competing for San Sebastian’s Golden Shell this year.

Produced by Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt is described as a lyrical exploration of the life of a Black woman in Mississippi and stars The Woman King‘s Sheila Atim.

A second American title, the comedy Ex-Husbands from director Noah Pritzker (Quitters), also made the San Sebastian cut. Rosanna Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Miles Heizer, James Norton and Eisa Davis are part of the ensemble cast in a story focused on a father (Dunne) overwhelmed by the twin crises of an impending divorce...

A bevy of established auteurs – Joachim Lafosse, Cristi Puiu, Robin Campillo and Martín Rejtman – rub shoulders with the fast-rising figures of Maria Alche and Benjamín Naishtat and new U.S. discovery Raven Jackson among a first batch of directors contending in main competition at September’s San Sebastian Film Festival.

Also in the mix, announced Friday, is U.S. writer-director Noah Pritzker (“Quitters”) whose “Ex-Husbands” headlines “After Hours” co-stars Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette.

Always open to a broader gamut of movies than many other “A” festivals, the first features confirmed for San Sebastian on Friday include four comedies with a change of register to lighter comedy for both Naishtat and Alche, who triumphed at 2018’s San Sebastián with “Rojo” and “A Family Submerged,” best director and Horizontes winners respectively.

The biggest movie event in the Spanish-speaking world – which means ever more as Spanish-language titles hit big viewerships on streaming...

The San Sebastián Film Festival has revealed the Official Selection for its latest edition, which is due to unfold from September 22 — 30.

The festival, which is celebrating its 71st edition, will screen Romanian filmmaker Cristi Puiu’s latest film Mmxx in competition. The festival describes the pic as a story that captures the “wanderings of a bunch of errant souls stuck at the crossroads of history.”

Belgian filmmaker Joachim Lafosse returns to San Sebastian this year with his tenth full-length film, A Silence, a drama starring Emmanuelle Devos and Daniel Auteuil. In 2015, he won the fest’s Silver Shell for Best Director for The White Knights, and two of his films have screened in the Perlak sidebar: After Love (2016) and The Restless (2021).
