It seems like Dwayne Johnson is saying goodbye to his days of solely being known as an action hero and embracing his new acting era. He recently worked with A24 on the Mma movie The Smashing Machine, releasing later this year, and now he will team up with the indie studio once again for a psychological thriller titled Breakthrough.

According to Deadline, the new thriller is from Zeke Goodman, who previously starred in Amazon's short-lived I Know What You Did Last Summer series and the streamer's take on Cruel Intentions.

The film sounds a little bit like some of the other movies we've seen produced by A24, such as The Menu and Opus. It follows "an alienated young man who comes under the influence of a motivational guru, whose intoxicating charm masks his morally questionable methods of manipulation and his own concealed darkness."

Johnson will reportedly be playing the guru role,...

Aja Gabel and Myung Joh Wesner wrote the script, which was featured on the 2019 Black List, with latest revisions by Wadlow.

Producers include Thunder Road Films’ Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, and Wadlow. Thunder Road is natch, behind the John Wick movies. Carsten Lorenz will executive produce. Chelsea Kujawa will oversee for Lionsgate. Helen Lee-Kim and Michael Meyer negotiated the deal on behalf of Lionsgate.

Popular comedian George Lopez has been starring alongside his daughter, Mayan Lopez, in the NBC multi-camera sitcom, Lopez Vs. Lopez, for the past three seasons. Unfortunately for fans of the series, its most recent season finale was also a series one, as NBC has officially canceled the series ahead of NBCUniversal's Upfronts presentation on May 12, 2025, in New York City. It was the last of the network's comedies to receive word of its future prospects, with Night Court also getting the axe earlier in the day.

Lopez Vs. Lopez is one of several sitcoms the stand-up comedian has created and starred in over the years. Prior to this, Lopez also starred in his eponymous ABC series, George Lopez, the one-season FX sitcom Saint George, Lopez for TV Land (which ran for two seasons), and even had a brief stint as a late-night host for two seasons on TBS. So it...

Magic Shine Again Season 1 Episode 18 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Poppa’s House,” titled “Magic Shine Again,” promises to deliver a mix of excitement and heartfelt moments. This episode will air on CBS, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds.

In this episode, Poppa has a big secret that he is finally ready to share with Ivy. The anticipation builds as viewers wonder what this secret might be and how it will impact their relationship. Poppa’s character has always been a source of wisdom and humor, and this revelation could change the dynamics in the household.

Meanwhile, Nina steps into the spotlight as she takes over Junior’s short film project. This shift in responsibility could lead to some interesting developments, especially considering the creative differences that often arise in group projects. Nina’s determination and Junior’s...

As it emerges from the shadow of longtime boss Harvey Weinstein, who is now a convicted sex offender, Miramax is raiding its vaults to expand its media footprint. Some of its most acclaimed films, including Gangs of New York, The English Patient, and Chocolat, are being developed as TV series. Variety reports that new studio head Jonathan Glickman is spearheading the effort to make the most of the studio's 1990s-2000s golden age, when it was a regular contender at the Academy Awards.

The profile documents Miramax's attempts to recapture its past glories, while mending fences with creators who were burned by Weinstein in the past; in addition to the mooted TV series, it also covers the revival of Scary Movie, which will herald the return of the series' original creators, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Other TV series adaptations on the table include a series based...

It wouldn’t be “Scary Movie” without the Wayans brothers.

When Jonathan Glickman took over as head of Miramax a year ago, the studio was struggling to reboot the franchise. Glickman knew that a successful relaunch required one essential ingredient — the involvement of Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans, the siblings who gave those popular comedies their subversive spark.

“You need to have some connective tissue with the original property,” Glickman says. “It gives legitimacy to a project so it doesn’t seem like just a cash grab.”

But getting the Wayanses wasn’t easy. The brothers believed that Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the bullying, bare-knuckle and (in the case of Harvey) disgraced founders of Miramax, had given them a “crappy” deal on the first film in the series, released in 2000, then “stole” their idea. By the time the third, fourth and fifth “Scary Movie” hit theaters, the Wayanses were no longer involved.

Exclusive: Monkeypaw Productions, the production company of Oscar-winning genre maestro Jordan Peele, has undergone layoffs within its development department, multiple sources tell Deadline.

The layoffs have affected Christopher Rosati, Jamal M. Watson and Alex Kim, the company’s three Vice Presidents of Development and Production, as well as four to five junior staffers at the coordinator and assistant levels.

Word of layoffs at Monkeypaw comes ahead of the release of the company’s football-themed horror film Him, one of the most anticipated genre titles of the year, from director Justin Tipping. Aside from economic realities facing the entire industry in this moment, in a time of contraction, the reasoning behind the cuts hasn’t been made clear. Chatter about the company was widespread yesterday, with industry observers expecting that overhead at Monkeypaw had come down following a renegotiation of its overall deal with Universal Studio Group.

However, sources close to...

CBS has decided which shows will not return for another season. Despite positive reviews, Poppa's House was canceled before its first season aired in full.

Per Deadline, CBS axed not just one, but two shows: Poppa's House and The Summit. The sitcom that comes from Damon Wayans Sr. and Damon Wayans Jr. premiered in October 2024 to positive reviews. However, that wasn't enough to keep it on the air. With a season finale set for release later this month, Poppa's House will end after 18 episodes.

Poppa's House was created by Wayans Sr. and Kevin Hench. The series starred Wayans Sr. and Damon Wayans Jr. as a father and son duo. Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson also had main roles Dr. Ivy Reed, Poppa's new co-host, and Nina, respectively. It followed legendary radio host and happily divorced Poppa, who struggles when a new female co-host is hired, all while dealing with parenting his adult son.

“Real comedians” like Marlon Wayans never have to say they’re sorry. When he appeared in Washington, D.C. as part of his Wild Child stand-up tour, the comic told journalist Nicholas Ballasy that he wasn’t softening up any of his material for a politically correct D.C. audience.

“They like to laugh. And the great thing about me is my set’s not about politics,” Wayans explained. “My set’s about me. It’s about what I went through and nuggets of knowledge I found and how I can spread that, give that to somebody else for their life journey.”

Politically correct comedy and cancel culture aren’t real anyway, said Wayans. “That’s all in society’s mind. I’ve never succumbed to that. I've been the same comedian that I was since we first started. Real comedians, we stayed the course.”

So Wayans has never been...

Universal on Friday dropped the teaser trailer for Him, the sports horror film that marks the latest from Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions. The pic is set for a September 19 release, just as the NFL season gets underway.

Tyriq Withers and Marlon Wayans star in the story of promising pro quarterback prospect Cameron Cade, who begins training for the upcoming NFL Combine by teaming with his hero Isaiah White, a legendary Qb and cultural icon, at the latter’s isolated compound.

Cameron quickly discovers through that his lifelong devotion to the sport is not nearly enough to get to the top, and Isaiah sends his protégé down a dark, disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever thought.

The trailer features Wayans’ voice-over imploring Cameron to tell him how much he wants to be the best (““Do you want this? What are you willing to sacrifice?...

Get ready for a new Jordan Peele horror experience that will be sure to leave you sidelined with chills! The upcoming sports horror film, Him, will tackle theaters on September 19, 2025, and the initial footage suggests a nightmare far more sinister than a late-season away game.

Him throws audiences headfirst into the pressure cooker world of professional football, where a promising young quarterback finds himself with a golden ticket: an invitation to train at the isolated, state-of-the-art facility of a legendary, albeit past-his-prime, signal-caller.

The setup hints at a collision of worlds, a blend of the intense sports drama of Friday Night Lights with the claustrophobic dread of Misery, mixed with a touch of the unsettling psychological horror of The Babadook.

The official description paints a grim picture, calling Him a "blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power, and the pursuit of excellence at any cost." This first look...

“What are you willing to sacrifice?” Marlon Wayans repeats hauntingly in the new Him teaser, which dropped on Friday. The two-minute teaser for the Jordan Peele-produced film follows Isaiah White (Wayans) training a quarterback, Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers), as he pushes him to stardom regardless of the cost.

“If you want to transcend the game, you have to dig deep. Your mind, your body have to be in sync,” Wayans says in the video. “Talent is how hard you’re willing to work. No days off. No sleep. We grind.

Professional football is becoming a real horror show in Justin Tipping’s upcoming horror film Him, coming this September from Monkeypaw Productions and Universal Pictures. Tipping and co-writers Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie delve into the world of fame and the quest for perfection through the lens of a young football player. Their film asks the question, “What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time?”

In the new football horror film:

Cameron Cade is a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life and identity to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.

Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife,...

Greatness demands sacrifice, and sometimes we make Faustian pacts with the devil. That’s the premise of “Him,” a unique sports-focused horror film from producer and Oscar-winner Jordan Peele, comedian/actor Marlon Wayans, and Peele’s Monkeypaw production company that focuses on films that terrify audiences.

Marlon Wayans has a unique training regimen for an upstart football player in the first trailer for the Jordan Peele-produced horror movie Him.

Universal Pictures releases director Justin Tipping’s feature in theaters Sept. 19. Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Akeem Hayes and Tierra Whack round out the cast for the movie that debuted its first footage at CinemaCon earlier this month.

Him follows an on-the-rise quarterback (Withers) who is invited by an aging player (Wayans) to learn about his perilous journey to achieve success at any cost. The script from Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie was previously included on the Black List. Producers for Monkeypaw include Peele, Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld and Jamal Watson.

“Talent is how hard you’re willing to work,” Wayans instructs Withers in the trailer that includes scenes teasing ritualistic violence. “‘I’m never good enough’ — that’s how great people think.

What are you willing to sacrifice to be a star? The haunting teaser for the Jordan Peele-produced “Him” shows the blood, sweat, tears, and religious imagery apparently required to give one’s body and soul as a professional athlete.

“Him” stars real-life former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers as fictional rising-star quarterback Cameron Cade, whose career is sidelined after a violent attack. Cade’s only hope appears to be Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), an NFL megastar who offers to train the recovering player. Yet, there is a price to pay for Isaiah’s help…

The official synopsis for the film reads: “Cameron Cade (Withers) is a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life and identity to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma. Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero,...

Universal Pictures’ Him promo material prominently features the fact that Oscar winner Jordan Peele is a producer. That alone is enough to draw in horror fans, and the teaser itself doesn’t disappoint. It asks the question, “What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time?” The answer to that question is ultimately, “Everything.”

Him stars Marlon Wayans (Air), Tyriq Withers (Atlanta), Julia Fox (Uncut Gems), Tim Heidecker (Us), and Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show). Mma fighter Maurice Greene, hip hop’s Guapdad 4000, and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack make their feature film debuts with the horror film.

Floodlights spark to life, illuminating a stadium filled with thousands of screaming fans ready for some football. But only one sound, a voice, permeates the noise: “Do you want this?”

So begins the teaser trailer for Him, one of the year’s most anticipated horror films.

The voice belongs to Marlon Wayans (Scary Movie), who stars as legendary quarterback Isaiah White. He’s speaking to his new protégé, Cameron Cade, played by former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (who can next be seen in I Know What You Did Last Summer).

Although Cameron is a promising young athlete, recovering from his potentially career-ending brain trauma at Isaiah’s isolated compound proves to be more than he bargained for. “‘I’m never good enough.’ That’s how great people think,” the mentor explains.

Jordan Peele, a trusted name who can put butts in seats, rightfully receives a big title card. But let...

What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time?

From Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, producers of the landmark horror films Get Out, Us, Candyman and Nope, comes a chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, idolatry, and the pursuit of excellence at any cost, featuring an electrifying dramatic performance from Marlon Wayans.

"What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time?" Universal has unveiled the first teaser trailer for a new horror movie called Him, a totally bonkers original horror concept involving an ambitious football player. This is produced by Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw, made by filmmaker Justin Tipping as his second feature after Kicks previously. A promising young football player joins an isolated compound to train under a dynasty team's aging quarterback – but there's something else sinister going on in this place. "A chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, idolatry and the pursuit of excellence at any cost, featuring an electrifying dramatic performance from Marlon Wayans."

Starring former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers as Cameron Cade, with Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, and Marlon Wayans. What?! There's so many "Wtf?...

Director Jordan Peele has quickly become a brand name through the strength of his original features, but the talented filmmaker has also been putting his clout to good use behind the scenes. His production company Monkeypaw Productions has backed a number of thrilling movies in the genre space, from 2021's "Candyman" to Henry Selick's animated "Wendell & Wild" to Dev Patel's directorial debut "Monkey Man" last year. Next on the docket is a sports/horror hybrid unlike anything we've ever seen before.

The enigmatically-titled "Him" comes from director Justin Tipping and, well, it sure looks like a must-watch movie packed with all sorts of Peele influences. Following two college athletes with their hopes and dreams set on making it big time, the story kicks off right on the cusp of the NFL's annual scouting Combine. When a deranged fan attacks a rising star (played by Tyriq Withers) and he suffers a potentially career-derailing injury,...

Back in 2022, Get Out, Us, and Nope writer/director Jordan Peele‘s production company Monkeypaw Productions acquired the genre film pitch Goat from writers Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the plan being that Peele would be producing Goat as part of Monkeypaw’s overall deal with Universal Pictures.

It's time to line up for the snap, because the first trailer for Him is here. Formerly going under the working title Goat, the new film produced by Jordan Peele stitches together football and horror in sinister fashion, all under the direction of Kicks and Joe vs. Carol director Justin Tipping. The project, which centers on a promising young football player (Tyriq Withers) taken under the wing of a legendary quarterback (Marlon Wayans) of a dynasty team nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career, has largely been shrouded in mystery since its announcement. Now, following its appearance at CinemaCon, this first teaser is pulling the curtain back to show general audiences something much freakier than the initial premise promises.

Fashion parties are few and far between in Santa Monica, so it feels like a moment when one happens.

Louis Vuitton delivered that moment on Thursday evening by hosting a cocktail party to introduce its new Lv Sneakerina at a location that helped draw many stylish stars, fashion insiders and influencers to the Westside. San Vicente Bungalows’ new(ish) Santa Monica outpost hosted the affair on what felt like one of those beautiful summer nights (even though it’s early April).

Damon Wayans started his career as a stand-up comedian before starring in several shows. In the 1990s, Wayans transitioned to films, establishing himself with hits such as Bulletproof, The Last Boy Scout, and Major Payne.

Despite his impressive resume, Wayans has never come close to winning an Academy Award. However, the actor-comedian might have had a shot at the prestigious award had he landed a part in a Tom Cruise movie of the 1990s.

Damon Wayans on the Club Shay Shay podcast (Credit: YouTube).

During a recent podcast appearance, Wayans reflected on losing out on the supporting role in Cruise’s sports comedy-drama Jerry Maguire. The role eventually went to Cuba Gooding Jr., who won an Oscar for his performance. Here is what Wayans had to say about missing out on the Oscar-winning role.

Back in 2021, actor/comedian Bob Odenkirk – who is best known for playing the role of con artist turned lawyer Saul Goodman on the TV series on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul – made the unexpected move of playing Hutch Mansell, retired government assassin in the action thriller Nobody. Doing the unexpected worked out, as Nobody was a success, making $57.5 million at the box office on a budget of $16 million. That was enough to get a sequel greenlit – and Nobody 2, which is scheduled to reach theatres on August 15th, was promoted during the Universal panel at the CinemaCon event today!

The audience was treated to the first trailer for Nobody 2, which finds Hutch taking his family (including Christopher Lloyd) on vacation. The trailer even uses the song Holiday Road from National Lampoon’s Vacation. While there, Hutch’s daughter is getting picked on, Hutch’s son intervenes, which...

The Monkeypaw-produced Him was a mystery no longer as of Wednesday at CinemaCon, where the first trailer for the Justin Tipping-directed sports horror movie was shown.

The movie starring Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox and Tim Heidecker follows a promising young football player who joins an isolated compound to train under a dynasty team’s aging quarterback. From the trailer, which has Wayans’ acerbic coach’s voice-over, it appears it’s some sort of Satanic compound with goat images, people drench in blood and alluring, scantily clad women.

The first look shows football stadium with Wayans’ v.o.: “Do you want this? I said, do you want this? Training, lifting, running, sweating, intense. Talent is how hard you are willing to work, no days off, mostly we grind. I am never good enough. I am never good enough.” Two helmeted players knock heads. And things get weird,...

Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers hit the CinemaCon stage on Wednesday and bantered with each other before introducing a first look teaser of “Him,” which was produced by Jordan Peele.

“It’s a sports movie with a twist,” Wayans said.

The teaser starts in a loud stadium. Footage shows two football players training and challenging each before two helmets collide. A series of quick cuts ensue. “What are you willing to sacrifice,” Wayan’s character says.

Both football players come face to to face: “Show me,” Wayans said.

The film stars Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies and hip-hop stars Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack, both in their feature film debuts. Justin Tipping directed the project.

The screenplay for “Him” was written by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie and made the Black List of best unproduced screenplays in 2022. Described on the title sheet as “an anti-sports horror movie,...

Him stars Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers hit the CinemaCon stage to toss around details about their new football-themed horror film.

The pair kicked things off by pretending to still be in character, with Wayans exerting his authority over his younger co-star. “Did I say it was time to talk, Withers?” Wayans quipped. “Drop down and give me 20.”

Wayans jokingly likened their Justin Tipping-helmed horror feature to a wholesome 1990s sports drama: “It’s kinda like Rudy.” This led Withers to fire back, “It’s nothing at all like Rudy.” Withers added that the film is “something that burrows under the skin.”

In the first-look trailer that has not yet been shared publicly, Wayans’ character says, “You have to ask yourself, ‘What am I willing to sacrifice?'” The footage is filled with references to injury and danger.

Universal’s Jordan Peele-produced horror flick hits theaters Sept. 19. Him...

Universal Pictures has released the first poster for Him, which comes from Oscar winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, producers of the horror films Get Out, Us, Candyman, and Nope.

Opening in theaters on September 19, 2025, Him is a blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power, and the pursuit of excellence at any cost.

From an acclaimed Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the sci-fi crime series Limetown), Him centers on a promising young football player invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team’s aging QB1.

Marlon Wayans stars in an electrifying dramatic role as the legendary quarterback, and former college athlete Tyriq Withers plays his protégé.

The film also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, comedian Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show), and hip hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack, both in their feature film debuts.

Him is currently set to release in theaters on September 19, 2025, and we’re expecting a trailer very soon. In the meantime, check out the official teaser poster down below.

This poster is on display at CinemaCon this week. Thanks to Deadline for the photo.

Justin Tipping (Kicks) directs the sports-themed psychological horror tale for Monkeypaw and Universal, with Marlon Wayans starring alongside Tyriq Withers and Julia Fox.

Based on a pitch by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the movie centers on a “promising young athlete who is invited to train with a team’s retiring star.” It’s described as “a blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power, and the pursuit of excellence at any cost.”

Kogonada’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey got a big and bold debut in Las Vegas on Monday.

Sony used its CinemaCon presentation to bring out the filmmaker, who introduced exclusive footage from the upcoming film starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell from studio label Columbia Pictures.

Kogonada said he was inspired to make the movie “because it’s the kind of film that I would want to watch in a packed theater.” He used a string of adjectives to describe it, including “original,” “surprising,” “romantic,” “and, I hope, moving.” He revealed a few more specifics by saying that he considers it a film about two people reckoning with their pasts to find love in the present. Kogonada also praised his Oscar nominated actors as “two extraordinary stars at the peak of their craft.” He added: “They light up the screen together.”

The emotionally resonate trailer showed the pair of...

Genre filmmakers Eli Roth and Jordan Peele both have new horror productions coming our way. Earlier this month, Roth launched a new media company called The Horror Section (which is open to genre fans joining in as investors), with plans to produce movies, TV shows, games, podcasts, and more. Back in 2022, Get Out, Us, and Nope writer/director Peele‘s production company Monkeypaw Productions acquired the genre film pitch Goat from writers Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the plan being that Peele would be producing Goat as part of Monkeypaw’s overall deal with Universal Pictures. The sports-related horror project made its way through production under the title Him last this year, aiming for a September 19, 2025 release date. Now, JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray has spotted posters for Roth’s Horror Section slate and the Peele-produced Him at the CinemaCon event, and those posters can be seen below!

It was like a breath of fresh air hearing that the Wayans brothers would be returning to theiconic movie parody franchise for Scary Movie 6after being pushed out following the release of the second film. The IP is rightfully where it belongs now and as they prepare to get things started on the next sequel, Marlon Wayans is promising that it will be a return to form that fans will most definitely enjoy.

During a chat with People, Wayans gave fans a little insight into what they can expect from Scary Movie 6. After the films took a creative detour following their departure, the comedian promised that they're going back to the basics that made the original film such a comedic highlight. Wayans said, "We got the gloves off. We're going R. We're going to have the same fun and the same kind of tone and Wayans flavor that we gave on the first one.

All Coen Brothers Movies, Ranked: Bowlers deal with blackmailers. Burglars become bunglers. Imperfect crimes fall apart as easily as snow falls from the sky. Kitschiness is found in the most highbrow of places. Those are just some of the motifs that outline the filmography of Joel and Ethan Coen, who have been staking a claim over the American cinematic landscape for close to 40 years. Few filmmakers have been able to simultaneously flaunt their influences and push the medium forward in as exciting of a way as the Coen brothers have. Toying with conventions to the point that they’ve quietly pulled the rug without viewers even noticing, the writer-director siblings have given new meaning to comedy, drama, horror, westerns, film noir, and even musicals. And they’ve done it all without ever going so far as to make the same film twice.

It could be said that it’s just...

Just ten years ago Harmony Korine told Marc Maron that filmmaking is so exhausting it can only demand extended breaks. Which makes his recent run––beginning with the formation of his own company, Edglrd––all the more notable. Two movies in as many years (Aggro Dr1ft and Baby Invasion) is one thing; it’s quite another to be in advanced stages on another pair that also find him making inaugural ventures into full-borne animation, or have a Terrence Malick-penned script waiting to shoot.

The Film Stage’s own Nick Newman talked to Korine for Interview Magazine, during which some info on current happenings came to light. With regards to The Trap (a script that nearly became a live-action feature some ten years ago and is being revived in anime form) Korine elaborated it’s “being worked on now in Tokyo,” with another “two years or so” before it’s publicly unveiled.
