Jon Watts revealed in an interview with Collider that his planned sequel to the George Clooney and Brad Pitt-starring caper “Wolfs” would not go forward. Now he’s doubled down, telling Deadline in a statement that while he loved working with Brad Pitt and George Clooney he “no longer trusted [Apple] as a creative partner.”

“I loved working with Brad and George (and Amy and Austin and Poorna and Zlatko) and would happily do it again,” said Watts. “But the truth is that Apple didn’t cancel the ‘Wolfs’ sequel, I did, because I no longer trusted them as a creative partner.”

According to Watts, Apple was pleased by his cut of “Wolfs” and commissioned a sequel. And then: Instead of a wide release, Apple decided that “Wolfs” would spend one week in a limited number of theaters.

“I showed Apple my final cut of ‘Wolfs’ early this year,...

Conor McGregor isn’t shying away from speaking against the recent civil court verdict, which found him guilty of sexually assaulting Nikita Hand back in 2018. After initially being denied pursuing a criminal case against the Mma fighter by the Dpp, the Dublin-based hairdresser opted to file a civil suit, whose verdict has now held McGregor accountable.

The UFC fighter, who has been ordered to pay Hand $257,000 in damages, took to X to express his distaste for the verdict. But it isn’t the actor’s defense that has garnered traction but its structure.

In the aftermath of the court verdict, in a now-deleted X post, Conor McGregor stressed that he’ll be appealing the jury’s decision, and shared his disappointment with the verdict, adding (via The New...

Exclusive: Jon Watts, the filmmaker who stepped out of the Spider-Man franchise with Tom Holland and Zendaya to script and direct George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the film Wolfs for Apple, created a press dustup yesterday when he let slip that he and they would not be doing a sequel, even though Wolfs became by far the most viewed feature film ever released on Apple TV+.

Deadline revealed plans for a sequel at the same time we divulged that Apple had moved off plans for a full theatrical release in favor of a limited one with a quick jump to the streaming site. This followed Fly Me To The Moon ‘s inability to measure up in its extended box office run. Suffice to say that even though they showed up for the Venice premiere, all of the principals were very disappointed by the pivot.

This is at the root of the sequel going away.

Conor McGregor has been ordered to pay a woman more than $250,000 after a civil jury in Dublin, Ireland, found the Mma fighter liable for assault.

Lawyers for Nikita Hand argued that McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her after a night of partying in a Dublin hotel penthouse in 2018, leaving Hand heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

The panel of eight women and four men returned the verdict Friday after deliberating for about six hours in the High Court in Dublin.

“To all the victims of sexual assault, I hope my story is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be, speak up, you have a voice and keep on fighting for justice,” Hand said outside court following the verdict.

McGregor testified during trial that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex.

Not just in acting, but the MCU has some literal heavy hitters in its cast. While actors Chris Hemsworth and Dave Bautista have proved their incredible stamina and strength, the Eternals’s Don Lee a.k.a Ma Dong-seok seems to have bested them all with his recent meet-up with UFC star Alex Pereira.

While the Poatan toured South Korea, the actor welcomed him with open arms and seemed to have accompanied him on his trip. The two also reportedly engaged in UFC-related activities including a friendly match on a punching machine. While Pereira got an amazing score, Ma Dong-seok seemed to have bested him.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has been hiding its largest Easter egg in plain sight: In the Young Sheldon spinoff, Georgie Cooper drives a Ford F-150 — the same Ford F-150 that belonged to his late father, George Sr.

Amazon MGM has secured the UK rights to Russell Crowe’s latest film, The Last Druid, from Land Of Bad director William Eubank.

One of the films up for sale at the American Film Market was the Russell Crowe-headlined feature, The Last Druid. The recently announced film is set to be directed by Land Of Bad helmer William Eubank, and will see Crowe reunite with the director as he takes on the role of a Celtic druid hellbent on revenge with the invading Roman army in his crosshairs.

The film’s logline was released alongside its announcement a couple of weeks ago and it sounds like a lot of fun: the tale ‘will tell the story of a Roman Emperor who discovers a secluded Druid stronghold in the mountains of Caledonia. A peaceful Celtic elder (Crowe) must take up arms to protect his family and people from annihilation.’

As is...

Conor McGregor is no stranger to the spotlight. Whether it’s his stunning knockouts inside the octagon or his bold trash talk outside of it, the UFC champion, 36, has carved out a name for himself that’s iconic. But this time, the headlines aren’t about his fists—they’re about a legal storm that’s threatening to knock his public image.

A woman has filed a civil suit against the Mma star, accusing him of a serious and disturbing crime—s*xual assault. McGregor’s lawyers are doing their best to protect his image and reputation, but with the media spotlight firmly fixed on the case, it’s clear that this will be a fight unlike any he has faced in the octagon.

Recently, the alleged victim, who is pursuing civil damages against McGregor, took the stand in court.

Conor McGregor is currently facing trial in a civil case filed by former hair colorist Nikita Hand in Dublin High Court. Hand has accused McGregor of assault and r*pe, seeking damages from the UFC fighter. The alleged crime happened on February 9, 2018, when Hand attended a party with McGregor and James Lawrence at the penthouse suite of the Beacon Hotel.

Hand told the jury that McGregor choked her three times after she bit him to get away from him. She claimed that when she gave up, he r*ped her. During the alleged assault, Hand also claimed that McGregor recalled his submission defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov while choking her.

Exclusive: Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Billy Magnussen (Roadhouse) have been set to star in Steve Pink’s out-there horse racing comedy Chariot.

Alan Ritchson will not look for us. He will not pursue us. But if we don’t do something about Ritchson, then he will find us and… surprise us with a reverse Taken film.

Yeah. That is the concept of Alan Ritchson and Amber Midthunder’s upcoming movie titled Painter. The film’s concept is quite similar to Liam Neeson’s iconic 2008 film Taken except, the roles are reversed.

Alan Ritchson And Amber Midthunder’s Movie Will Find Us

Amber Midthunder found worldwide fame when she starred in Prey and Legion. The actress is one of the promising new actors who have joined Hollywood and now, she will star alongside Ritchson.

Well, recent news broke out that Reacher star Alan Ritchson is going to get kidnapped in his upcoming film called Painter.

Just a few days ago, we heard that Reacher star Alan Ritchson is teaming up with Need for Speed and Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh for an action thriller called Runner, and now Deadline reports that Ritchson has also signed on to star in an action film called Painter, which will team him with Prey star Amber Midthunder and John Wick writer Derek Kolstad. The project is set up at FilmNation Entertainment‘s production label Infrared, and FilmNation will be launching distribution sales at the upcoming American Film Market in Las Vegas.

Former stuntman Garrett Warren, who served as stunt coordinator on the likes of Logan, Avatar, Alita: Battle Angel, and Road House, will be directing the film. Although Warren is also attached to direct a true crime drama called One Man’s War, it looks like Painter will turn out to be his feature directorial debut.

Shania Twain with her best-selling albums and hit songs is rightly called the “Queen of Country Pop.” The Canadian singer has topped several music charts throughout her life and has sold millions of records throughout her decades-long career. While she has been acing her professional life, her personal life on the other hand has been raising some eyebrows at the moment.

Out of all the big-budget blockbusters Jake Gyllenhaal has landed in his career, the 2004 sci-fi-action piece The Day After Tomorrow most certainly wasn’t one. Although it more or less received some fans’ appreciation, a majority of the critics were still as displeased by it as ever, even though it managed to become a considerable commercial success.

Gyllenhaal, on the other hand, was rather disgruntled with the piece himself. While it was one of his initial experiences working on a big-budget project, the actor had quite a few issues with it. As he didn’t hesitate to let known to everyone, one of his biggest problems was his dialogue for the film, which he had a hard time translating to the screens.

Image Source: Shout Factory When future Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow made Point Break in 1991, she had a pair of stars who were both on hot streaks: Patrick Swayze with Dirty Dancing, Road House, and Ghost; and Keanu Reeves with his two successful Bill & Ted films. Pairing them for an action movie set against the world of surfing turned out to be a brilliant move, as the movie turned out to be an enduring hit that long ago entered a second life as a cult classic. We once talked with Swayze about the film — he wasn’t shy about taking risks during his lifetime, but even he was shaken by some of the surfing scenes he filmed for the movie.

The world is on fire. Innocent people are dying. Hurricanes are ripping away homes. Fascism looms large. Parker Finn’s “Smile” movies don’t tackle our global anxieties directly but they do understand that seeing someone happy in the early 21st century is deeply disturbing. The only reason some could possibly have to smile this wide, to Finn’s way of thinking, is if they were a demon from hell.

The original “Smile” hit like a ton of bricks. The film starred Sosie Bacon as a therapist who witnesses a patient killing themselves while grinning ear to ear. She’s so disturbed by the incident that she starts seeing smilers everywhere, only to discover that it’s not in her head. She’s been cursed by a demon who feeds on anguish and drives people mad over the course of six days, before leaping to somebody else in another shocking act of violence.

Chloë Grace Moretz, Anthony Ramos, Manny Jacinto, Isabel May, Lukas Gage and Billie Lourd are headlining the Joey Power directed and written romantic comedy, Love Language from Caviar.

Caviar is arranging full financing of the project. Cameras will roll in mid-October in Chicago, Illinois. CAA Media Finance is representing the U.S. rights to the film.

Love Language is produced by Ari Lubet for 3 Arts Entertainment, Colin Jost and Jeff Grosvenor for No Notes Productions, and Bert Hamelinck and Allison Hironaka for Caviar. EPs are Michael Sagol of Caviar and Tyson Bidner.

Power co-wrote and co-directed After Everything starring Jeremy Allen White and Maika Monroe, which premiered at SXSW and was released by Good Deed Entertainment in 2018. He co-wrote and produced Banana Split, which played at TIFF Next Wave 2019 and was released by Vertical Entertainment in 2020. He’s recently developed projects for Blumhouse and EOne.

Amazon Ads is expanding Prime Video’s limited advertisements to new markets in 2025, including Brazil, India, Japan, the Netherlands and New Zealand.

The move, which was announced during the tech giant’s unBoxed 2024 event, comes as the service’s ad-supported tier is already available in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. Subscribers can also switch to an ad-free experience for an additional monthly fee.

If you're DC Studios, the film, television, and video game company tasked with exploiting the massive roster of DC Comics characters for our entertainment and their financial gain, you obviously want your excitable fanbase focused right now on what's to come rather than what's been -- because outside of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman", Todd Phillips' "Joker" (we'll get to its sequel in a moment), and Matt Reeves' "The Batman," what DC Studios (former DC Films) has been is a complete and totally aimless disaster. When it handed the creative reins over to Zack Snyder after the somewhat underwhelming blockbuster success of "Man of Steel", it committed to a dreary run toward a "Justice League" that, even in its director's cut, was strangely joyless.

Snyder's run had its supporters (ahem), but the box office reflects an overall enthusiasm deficit compared to the miraculous, masterfully...

By the time next weekend rolls around, the box office will have suffered a bit of an unfortunate downturn. There's no need to revisit the truly bleak first half of 2024 when theaters were downright desperate for even modest hits but the point is, the industry really doesn't need any more setbacks. Unfortunately, with "Joker: Folie a Deux" bombing badly with no hope of a rebound, the first half of October is on life support. That being the case, Paramount's "Smile 2" can't come soon enough, as the horror sequel figures to give the box office a much-needed jolt of life.

Director Parker Finn's follow-up to 2022's surprise breakout hit "Smile" is currently looking at a debut between $25 and $35 million when it hits theaters next weekend, per Box Office Theory. Even on the low end, that would put it above the original, which opened to $22.6 million in late September 2022. "Smile,...

Chad A. Verdi of Verdi Productions and Anthony Gudas and Aaron Kaufman of Public School Productions have partnered with producers John Scalise, Keanu Reeves and Fisher Stevens to produce “The Jet,” a documentary on the life story of Benny “The Jet” Urquidez.

The film is currently in production from director Jennifer Tiexiera. Verdi, Gudas, and Kaufman will join Reeves, Maura Anderson, Zak Kilberg and Scalise as producers.

Urquidez is known for his influence on martial arts in mainstream culture as an actor, fight coordinator, and trainer to the stars. He held a total of six world titles in five weight divisions and remained undefeated throughout his more than 20-year kickboxing career.

Amazon and Apple, two Silicon Valley behemoths, are teaming up more closely in the streaming arena.

Later this month, Apple TV+ will be available via Prime Video in the U.S. as an add-on subscription for $9.99 per month, Amazon announced Wednesday. That’s the same price Apple charges for the stand-alone streaming service.

Apple TV+ joins Prime Video’s collection of more than 100 add-on subscription options in the U.S., which include Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max, Paramount Global’s Paramount+, Sony’s Crunchyroll and Amazon-owned MGM+.

The deal to bring Apple TV+ into Prime Video is part of Amazon’s strategy to aggregate as many entertainment options as it can for customers — available on one bill, in one app.

“Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering a wide selection of premium programming,” Mike Hopkins, SVP and Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, said in announcing the pact.

"Bones" — the procedural drama centered around forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her FBI counterpart Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) ran from 2005 to 2017, spanning nearly 250 episodes and 12 full seasons. But will it ever come back for a revival?

It seems like everything is getting a reboot or revival now. Earlier this year, they reinvented "Mean Girls" as a musical starring Reneé Rapp, and shortly after that came out, Jake Gyllenhaal headlined a remake movie of the '80s classic "Road House" for a new generation. In Ryan Gosling's (delightful) action comedy "The Fall Guy," Lee Majors and Heather Thomas, who played the lead roles in the original series, show up in cameo appearances at the very end of the film. Throughout the past few years, everything from "Cobra Kai" to "Fuller House" to the long-awaited fourth season of "Veronica Mars" has reunited original cast members for another go-around. So why not "Bones?...

Doug Liman’s sophomore outing of this year, which is also coincidentally an exclusive streaming release like “Road House,” is a heist movie falling squarely in the genre of “heists organized by incompetents or buffoons,” or crime dramas where the protagonists are moderately self-centered but are more inclined to goof around than get any work done.

If one examines the genre of crime movies, arguably, the comedy is mined from these characters either being bad at their jobs or stuck in impossible situations. “The Instigators chooses to follow the former, as do the movies listed below. This is a recommendation list and not a ranking of any of the movies. It is rather a list compiling a couple of movies that share similarities with Doug Liman’s “The Instigators.”

7. 2 Guns (2013)

If you enjoyed The Instigators and its mix of high-stakes heists, unlikely partnerships, and constant twists, then 2 Guns is definitely worth a watch.

After 34 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 15 in the Dceu, and various television series focusing on superhero shenanigans, it’s understandable why some people say they’ve got “superhero fatigue.” Oversaturation is an unfortunate inevitability whenever Hollywood sees dollar signs stacking up. For years, superhero cinema was the cream of the box office crop. While Deadpool & Wolverine is the exception to superhero movies trending downward (for now) in the public interest, the genre remains ripe for parody, and that’s why HBO‘s The Franchise trailer is ready to poke fun at the process of bringing super-powered punching bags to screens.

Here’s the official description of The Franchise: “The crew of an unloved franchise movie fight for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe. The Franchise shines a light on the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking, to ask the question — how exactly does the cinematic sausage get made?...

Update: Amazon now says Season 2 of “The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power” has reached 55 million global viewers since its launch 34 days ago on Aug. 29.

That’s an increase of only 15 million viewers since the total of 40 million that the company reported 11 days after launch. By all accounts, Season 2 viewership has been slower than that of Season 1, which Amazon said hit 25 million viewers in one day when it premiered in 2022. The season recently made its debut on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 with one billion minutes watched — a drop from the 1.3 billion minutes that Season 1 debuted with, especially when considering that the more recent total combines viewership of both seasons, and that Season 2’s first episodes had a longer runtime than Season 1’s.

The Season 2 viewership news came out of Amazon’s upfront presentation in London, where studio chief Jennifer Salke also indicated that the U.K. is “among...

We’ve got hold of a few more details of the new Anaconda movie, with slight spoilers – and new casting information too.

Potential spoilers lie ahead for the new Anaconda.

Sony is investing more and more in its planned reboot of the Anaconda movie series, which continues to take shape.

Debuting in 1997 – with Jon Voight’s sneer and a massive snake, all under the watchful eye of director Luis Llosa – Anaconda was a solid hit. Still, its subsequent sequels and crossovers never troubled the inside of a cinema.

However, the new reboot – which has been active since early 2020 – is heading for the big screen, and has attracted a notably comic cast.

Jack Black and Paul Rudd were early additions, and joining now is Daniela Melchior in what Deadline reports is in an ‘unknown’ role. We’ve got a bit of info on that, however.

The new film’s spin is...

Earlier this year, the news broke that Columbia Pictures is planning to squeeze new life out of the Anaconda franchise, with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican set to helm a reimagining of the 1997 giant snake horror movie.

Paul Rudd and Jack Black have now been confirmed to play the lead roles, and according to Deadline, Daniela Melchior has also joined the cast.

Melchior was most recently seen in the Road House remake, and also made a memorable appearance as Cleo Cazo, aka Ratcatcher 2, in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

Gormican will also co-write the script with collaborator Kevin Etten.

The project is said to have been in development at the studio since early 2023, and has gone through numerous rewrites as the "filmmaker and Columbia tried to find the right balance of tones."

It sounds like this new take on the creature feature is going to...

"Yellowstone" is one of the biggest shows of the past decade. Though it started out relatively small on Paramount Network, it grew to become the biggest series on cable television. Taylor Sheridan's tale of the Dutton family led by Kevin Costner has truly gripped American audiences, so much so that it's now a full-blown franchise with several spin-offs - and more on the way. Despite being a part of that ever-expanding franchise, however, legendary actor Sam Elliott isn't exactly a fan of "Yellowstone," and he's not afraid to say so.

The actor, known for his roles in films such as "Road House" and "A Star is Born," starred as cowboy Shea Brennan in "1883," the spin-off that helped launch Paramount+. Elliott was quite happy with that show, which takes place decades before the events of the flagship series. In various interviews though, Elliott has made it crystal clear what he thinks of "Yellowstone.

In the wake of three sequels and a spinoff crossover film with the Lake Placid franchise, the 1997 film Anaconda is plotting a return to the screen. Tom Gormican (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) is scripting and directing the next Anaconda movie for Columbia Pictures, with Paul Rudd and Jack Black starring.

Additionally, Deadline reports tonight that rising star Daniela Melchior has come on board to join the horror reboot’s cast.

“According to sources,” The Hollywood Reporter detailed, “the new story involves a group of friends facing mid-life crises who are remaking their favorite movie from their youth.

“They head to the rainforest only to find themselves into a fight for their lives against natural disasters, giant snakes and violent criminals.”

The original film was directed by Luis Llosa, and it featured an ensemble cast including Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Owen Wilson and Danny Trejo.

From Ratcatcher to Anacondacatcher? Deadline reports that Daniela Melchior is set to join Paul Rudd and Jack Black in the new Anaconda movie in development at Sony Pictures. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent director Tom Gormican is set to direct the project as well as co-write the script with Kevin Ettin. The project has apparently been in the works since early 2023, going through a lot of rewrites as they try to strike the correct tone.

It’s not known who Melchior will play in the Anaconda movie, but the project won’t be a remake of the ’90s classic that starred Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight. According to sources, “the new story involves a group of friends facing mid-life crises who are remaking their favorite movie from their youth. They head to the rainforest only to find themselves into a fight for their lives against natural disasters,...

Exclusive: After landing Paul Rudd and Jack Black to star, the new Anaconda pic at Sony Pictures is building on its ensemble as Road House star Daniela Melchior is set to join the cast on the new take of the 90s cult classic. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent writers Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten penned the script, with Gormican planning to direct. Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing through Fully Formed banner.

The studio had no comment.

The original 1997 thriller starred Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Owen Wilson and Ice Cube and followed a National Geographic-esque film crew that is taken hostage by an insane hunter, who forces them along on his quest to capture the world’s largest and deadliest snake, an anaconda. The film overperformed at the box office, bringing in $145 million globally including $65 million domestically. It also provided Lopez and Cube with a box office hit early in their careers.

Amazon has joined the Motion Picture Association, Hollywood’s leading lobbying group, the MPA announced on Thursday. The tech giant ‚ which includes its streaming service, Prime Video, and Amazon MGM Studios — becomes the newest member since streaming heavyweight Netflix joined in 2019.

“Welcoming Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios to our ranks will broaden our collective policymaking and content protection efforts on behalf of our most innovative and creative companies,” MPA CEO Charles Rivkin said in a statement.

Amazon Prime Video has 200 million monthly viewers, the company said earlier this year. Beyond Amazon and Netflix, other MPA members include entertainment stalwarts Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Amazon’s entry into the MPA comes as the company has continued to funnel money into its entertainment efforts; in 2023, the company spent $19 billion on content — up 14% from the year before.

MGM, which Amazon bought for $8.5 billion in 2021, had been a member of...

New additions to the cast of the upcoming adaptation of Emily Henry‘s best-seller have been announced.

Netflix announced Wednesday that Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil, Lucien Laviscount, and Lukas Gage are set to join Tom Blyth and Emily Bader in the feature adaptation of Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation.

Their roles in the film are to be announced.

News of the casting comes amid Blyth and Bader being announced as the romantic leads. My Lady Jane star Bader will portray Poppy while The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes star Blyth will star as Alex. The story will follow the longtime best friends who took one week of every summer vacation together. However, things changed when they stopped speaking for two years. When Poppy reaches out and convinces Alex to take one more vacation together, she sees it as her time to fix their broken relationship.

Sarah Catherine Hook (The White Lotus), Jameela Jamil (The Good Place), Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris), and Lukas Gage (Smile 2) have joined the cast of People We Meet on Vacation, the forthcoming adaptation of Emily Henry’s bestseller from Netflix and 3000 Pictures, on which we were first to report.

Details as to the quartet’s roles are under wraps. Tom Blyth and Emily Bader topline the pic from director Brett Haley (I’ll See You in My Dreams), which marks Henry’s first book adaptation to go into production.

The film follows free-spirited Poppy and routine-loving Alex, who have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together. The careful balance of their friendship is put to the test when they begin to question what has been obvious to everyone else — could they actually be the perfect romantic match?

Amazon released some viewership numbers for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The company says 40 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of the first three new Rings of Power episodes through the sophomore season’s first 11 days. The company did not make clear, however, how much of the season, or an episode, those 40 million people viewed. (Amazon’s figure is different from the increasingly adopted standard of streaming views, which divides total viewing time by running time.)

Amazon also noted Rings of Power is a Top 5 all-time season for Prime Video (compared to the first 11 days of other shows), and has been No. 1 for the service since its return.

The message follows third-party ratings services claiming the second season’s viewership has dropped sharply from the show’s debut season. According to Samba TV, only about half as many U.S.
