Happy Life Day everyone! It has been revealed that Disney+ will play host to The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special this November.

“The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special” will debut on the streaming service on Nov. 17. Set after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” the special continues the partnership between Lucasfilm and Lego of making playful, tongue-in-cheek animated versions of “Star Wars” stories using Lego figures and blocks.

Who’s sitting on top of the world? Zach Braff, who’s loving life while making his Broadway debut in the quick-tapping musical comedy Bullets Over Broadway.

Braff stars in the adaptation of the 1994 Woody Allen film as David Shayne, a playwright whose first big Broadway endeavor is underscored by gangsters, divas, talentless chorus girls, and a rising number of dead bodies. The score is based entirely on period standards from the early 20th century.

The cast of Bullets (which includes Tony nominee Nick Cordero, Betsy Wolfe, Marin Mazzie, and Masters of Sex’s Helene Yorke) hit the recording studio...

J.D. is newly single. Zach Braff and his longtime model girlfriend Taylor Bagley have split, Page Six confirms. The Scrubs alum and Bagley dated for five years. "Zach and Taylor broke up over a month ago," his rep confirmed to the outlet. "They are continuing their friendship but are no longer a couple." The Garden State creator and actor, 39, has been busy making his musical debut as David Shayne in the Great White Way staging of Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway, which Bagley reportedly urged Braff to [...]...

The screen-to-stage adaptation has grown more common than the reverse: of the 56 musicals nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical since 2000, 22 are based on films, with winners including "The Producers," "Hairspray," and last year's "Kinky Boots." But this year marks an especially memorable adaptation, with Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" hitting the stage.  To celebrate this, Film Society of Lincoln Center will screen Allen's 1994 film version for one night only in a presentation titled "From Stage to Screen: Bullets Over Broadway."  The film tells the story of idealistic/egotistical playwright David Shayne (John Cusack as a pretty good Woody surrogate) who agrees to cast a gangster's moll, Olive (Jennifer Tilly), in a significant role in order to finance his new play. Olive is escorted by Cheech (Chazz Palmintieri), who turns out to be a writing genius who constantly revises and improves Shayne's play. Meanwhile, Shayne embarks on an affair with the diva-ish,...

Zach Braff, best known for his long run on Scrubs and his feature Garden State, made his Broadway debut in Bullets Over Broadway Thursday evening.

Zach Braff In 'Bullets Over Broadway'

Braff graciously accepted a bouquet of flowers during the curtain call for the premiere of Bullets Over Broadway at the St. James Theater. The Woody Allen musical, adapted from his 1994 film of the same name, follows a struggling playwright (Braff), who gets some writing help from a local New York City mobster (Nick Cordero). Helene Yorke, Vincent Pastore, Marin Mazzie and Brooks Ashmanskas all costar in the stage production.

By stepping into the shoes of playwright David Shayne – a shade of Allen previously played by John Cusack – Braff had to try to find his own voice, but admitted sometimes that just wasn’t possible. “There are certain lines, certain jokes, you can’t say them without sounding like Woody Allen,...

Woody Allen’s beloved 1994 crime-comedy caper Bullets Over Broadway is making the big leap to the real Broadway stage in a world premiere musical, helmed by five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman (The Producers).

Here’s why you ought to be excited: Stroman has enlisted a truly dazzling cast of stage veterans to join Scrubs alum Zach Braff in his Broadway debut. Braff plays David Shayne, a naïve playwright who finds himself embroiled with the mob when a gangster’s talentless girlfriend (Masters of Sex’s Heléne Yorke) tramples into the cast of his Broadway show. Joining the onstage fun are...

As the pill-popping, Vodka-swilling title character of "Blue Jasmine," Cate Blanchett joins a long line of actresses who have played crazy in Woody Allen films. No one has created more complex, multi-faceted female roles than the New York maestro, but let's face it: these gals are never more mesmerizing than when they're screaming, shouting, and throwing a major tantrum.

To celebrate this latest wacky inclusion, here's our list of the nine nuttiest female performances in Woody Allen films.

9. Christina Ricci, 'Anything Else' (2003)

At first glance, Amanda Chase (Christina Ricci) looks like she'd make a really great girlfriend, especially to a nerd like Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs). But looks can be deceiving: once you get to know Amanda in "Anything Else," you start to think that maybe Jerry should stick to dating apple pies. Based on the evidence of this film, the pastry would prove a more stable relationship.

Zach Braff is to star in the stage adaptation of Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway.

Braff has been cast as aspiring playwright David Shayne, a role which was originally played by John Cusack in the award-winning 1994 comedy.

Former Sopranos star Vincent Pastore will be playing the mobster who helps Shayne stage his play with aid from the criminal underworld.

Brooks Ashmanskas, Helene Yorke, Betsy Wolfe and Leny Wolpe will also feature in the Bullets Over Broadway supporting cast.

Susan Stroman is directing Bullets Over Broadway, having previously found success with The Producers and Young Frankenstein.

Bullets Over Broadway begins previews on March 11 at the St. James Theatre on March 11. A full run follows from April 10.

Allen announced that he would be adapting Bullets Over Broadway for the stage back in February 2012.

Watch a trailer for the film version of Bullets Over Broadway below:...

New York -- Initial casting is coming together for Bullets Over Broadway, the stage musical adaptation of Woody Allen's 1994 comedy, with Zach Braff set to make his Broadway debut in the role played onscreen by John Cusack. Directed and choreographed by five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman (The Producers), the new musical will begin preview performances March 11 at the St. James Theatre, with opening night set for April 10.

Last week, actor John Cusack asked his 855,000-plus Twitter followers whether Lady Gaga was the modern-day Edgar Allan Poe. It was a bit perplexing, considering Gaga is a musician and Poe was an author and poet. Surely there was some prolific writer that Cusack meant to say instead? "I said that because of all the blood and gore she has in her [performances]," the actor explained to Moviefone, in a conversation at the Vault at Pfaff's, a New York City establishment once haunted by many of Poe's literary peers. Despite potential cries of blasphemy from Poe fanatics, you should excuse Mr. Cusack for trying to make a joke. After all, he spent months researching the late author -- delving into the myriad of mysterious, blood-filled tales of revenge and murder -- for his role in the upcoming movie, “The Raven,” and perhaps he needed a bit of humor to break things up.

Thirty years after making his debut, John Cusack is still a Hollywood outsider. Now 45, the star of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven talks about mortality, his Brat Pack past – and why he wishes he could work a room

John Cusack is puffing on a fat cigar. It's incongruous, seeing him dressed all in cool, casual black, sucking on a Cohiba, like a goth who has crashed a Hollywood mogul's house party. "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't mention the cigar," he says. "I don't want people to think I'm this movie cliche. I'm certainly not a mogul – in fact, nothing could be further from the truth."

I don't think there's any danger of Cusack being mistaken for a movie mogul. But the cigar begins to feel somehow appropriate. The more he smokes it, the more at ease he becomes with it, until he owns that damn cigar and waggles it like a spare,...

Woody Allen is best known for his cinematic output, but inbetween annual film efforts he also works on theatre projects. While it’s been a few years since he brought a full-length piece to the stage (he produced a one-act last year), he’s looking to come back with a bang by getting Bullets Over Broadway to the Great White Way at last.Why “at last”? Well, this is not exactly a new project. A musical version of the 1994 film (released over here in 1995) was first mooted back in 2003, which means that when it finally lights the lights in 2013, it’ll be 10 years in development.Bullets followed struggling playwright David Shayne (John Cusack), who finds himself in a tricky spot when his producer finally digs up the funding for his latest project from a gangster.

In 1993, whilst under heavy fire from the media regarding his split with Farrow and in the middle of a nasty custody battle over custody of their children, Woody Allen released yet another movie. “Manhattan Murder Mystery” is a light hearted romp that reunites him with Diane Keaton in a role originally intended for Farrow. Keaton and Allen play a high class married couple who accidentally stumble upon what they believe to be a murder. Co-Starring Alan Alda and Angelica Huston the movie is fun, frivolous watch which showed that the on screen chemistry between Allen and Keaton was still there after all those years. It also proved that regardless of what was happening in his personal life Woody Allen was still an accomplished and extremely focused film director. He escaped from the pressures of reality by immersing himself in even more work.

In 94 he directed “Don’t Drink the Water...

Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger follows a pair of married couples, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) and Helena (Gemma Jones), and their daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) and husband Roy (Josh Brolin), as their passions, ambitions, and anxieties lead them into trouble and out of their minds.

After Alfie leaves Helena to pursue his lost youth and a free-spirited call girl named Charmaine (Lucy Punch), Helena abandons rationality and surrenders her life to the loopy advice of a charlatan fortune teller. Unhappy in her marriage, Sally develops a crush on her handsome art gallery owner boss, Greg (Antonio Banderas), while Roy, a novelist nervously awaiting the response to his latest manuscript, becomes moonstruck over Dia (Freida Pinto), a mystery woman who catches his gaze through a nearby window. Despite these characters’ attempts to dodge their problems with pipe dreams and impracticable plans, their efforts lead only to heartache,...
