Koepp has previously said that his goal with the script was to get the franchise back to the tone of the original Jurassic Park, and during a new interview with Variety, he revealed that he has even managed to work a sequence from Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park novel into the new movie!

News of the new Jurassic World movie first hit back in January of 2024, when it was revealed that the screenplay had already been written. The project was assembled in a mad scramble after that, with Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards...

Himym's ending was criticized for undoing characters' arcs and minimizing the awaited first meeting of Ted and the Mother, instead reuniting Ted with Robin. The show's unique storytelling concept and early finale planning left little room for adaptation and character evolution, causing controversy. An alternate ending was released, improving Robin's character arc and giving all characters happy endings, but still faced criticism for abandoning her marriage to Barney.

The divisiveness of the How I Met Your Mother ending was inevitable. In 2014, the nine-season run of the show concluded and Himym's ending was criticized for undoing the main characters arcs by minimizing the eagerly-awaited first meeting of hopeless romantic Ted Mosby and the Mother, Tracy McConnell, and instead reuniting him with on-off love interest Robin Scherbatsky. This decision came after Himym spent its entire final season preparing for Robin and Barney Stinsons wedding, and ultimately resulted in a mixed reception for the two-part final Himym episode.

Exclusive: Santa Monica-based The Kennedy/Marshall Company has optioned the feature adaptation rights to breakout UK racehorse documentary It’s Showtime!.

The real-life tale of a group of friends from Darlington in the Northeast of England who collectively bought a bargain racehorse without any sort of pedigree after one too many drinks, first aired on ITV1 in April, before heading to streaming service Itvx.

In unexpected twist, the horse – renamed by the group as Showtime Mahomes after their favourite American football star, Patrick Mahomes – began winning races, much to their amazement as well as that of the elite racing world.

But beyond its victories, the horse became a catalyst for transformation, offering the men a fresh outlook on life’s challenges and found family.

Gunsmoke, a legendary Western TV show, featured a talented cast, including stars like Burt Reynolds, Bette Davis, and John Wayne. Notable actors from Gunsmoke, like Roger Ewing and Buck Taylor, went on to have successful careers in the industry. The series also showcased many iconic guest stars, such as Harrison Ford, Jodie Foster, and Kurt Russell, who have continued to work in Hollywood.

As a series that ran from 1955-1975, there are sadly only a few of the Gunsmoke cast still alive, but these actors have continued with long and notable careers, or have gracefully exited the acting world to pursue personal interests. Gunsmoke was originally a radio series of the same name that broadcast from 1952 to 1961 and in 1955, Gunsmoke became a television show that lasted for 20 years. The series is centered on Dodge City, Kansas in the 1870s as the settlement of the American West is getting underway.

Vance, and an angel come down to help, but who ends up focusing more on the pastor’s wife. Marshall cast this role to another megawatt talent of the time, Whitney Houston.

Matlock (1986-1995) featured the late great Andy Griffith as attorney Ben Matlock, who solved cases and caught perpetrators in a charming, unassuming, and disarming way.

It was one of the most popular shows of the period and is still enjoyed by many in reruns and on streaming apps today, which is why the Matlock reboot has been much anticipated.

This new CBS crime drama based on it features the following season 1 cast members and characters.

Madeline "Matty" Matlock (Kathy Bates)

Attorney Matty Matlock seemingly shares only a profession and a last name with Griffith's Ben Matlock character.

A trailer released by CBS shows Matty talking about the first Matlock series and referring to it as an old TV show, indicating that the original is a fictional show in this new Matlock series' universe.

Most characters on How I Met Your Mother have financial struggles in their twenties/thirties but achieve stability by the end of the show. Lily is the least wealthy due to her low-paying teaching job, while Robin moves up from journalist to news anchor. Barney is the wealthiest character, estimated to earn nearly $1.2 million a year, but his job remains a mystery throughout the show.

Like so many sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother focuses on a crucial time in the lives of its main characters, with one of the major worries of the characters for four of the five at least consistently being money. While some of them come from wealthy families, the viewers have found that the characters prefer to use their own income to financially support themselves. This means that each of the gang's wealth fluctuates a few times as they navigate careers in their twenties/thirties.

At its core, documentary filmmaking is an intimate process. The filmmakers are asking their subjects to bring their truest selves to the table — and that can be difficult when those subjects are rock stars who are used to being asked probing questions.

“These music groups who have been around forever, they have the pat answer. They’ve been asked the same question a million times,” said director Frank Marshall, whose latest documentary “The Beach Boys,” chronicles the group’s six decades in the spotlight. “You have to spend the time with them and get their trust in order for them to dig down under and get the real authentic answers.”

Tom Hanks was fated to lead Penny Marshall’s comedy feature that made history more than three decades ago. But, as it turns out, two rather exceptional actors reportedly passed down the film that was well on its way to becoming a box-office sensation.

Both Batman star Michael Keaton and Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner were apparently offered to play the ebullient protagonist in the fantasy drama, Big. But thanks to their refusals, Hanks ended up swiping the opportunity from them, starring in the first-ever movie by a female director to reach $100 million at the box office.

Julia Roberts has donned quite a few iconic roles among the likes of Anna Scott in Notting Hill and Erin Brockovich in Erin Brockovich. And yet, none of her fan-favorite roles is still regarded as incredibly successful and popular as Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman.

But what many people don’t know is that she nearly lost that role right after scoring it.

Although surprising it may seem, Roberts originally bagged the role when the film was under production with a different studio and a whole other storyline.

However, within a mere three days of her getting the chance to play Ward in the iconic rom-com from 1990, the actress pretty much temporarily lost the role — that was until one producer came to the rescue: Garry Marshall.

Originally, Pretty Woman was named $3,000 and...

At one time, Warner Bros. was planning to give director Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi thriller Mickey 17 a theatrical release on March 29th, 2024 – but then they bounced the movie to January of 2025 and released Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire on March 29th instead. Why the delay? According to industry scooper Daniel Richtman, it’s rumored that Joon-ho and Warner Bros. are at odds over the director’s cut. Richtman wrote, “I hear Mickey 17 is delayed because Warner Bros. won’t let Bong Joon-ho release his director’s cut. They want to release a more ‘accessible’ version.”

This may not be surprising for CinemaCon attendees to hear. A trailer for Mickey 17 was shown at Cinema Con earlier this year (we have the report Here) and some who saw the footage felt that the movie “could either be totally amazing or a complete disaster.”

Studio logos at the start of the film can often indicate what fans can expect from the movie. From DreamWorks’ moonchild to various variations of the WB logo, there are several examples of filmmakers manipulating the logos to fit the tone of their films. One such variation of a logo was in Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, often considered one of the greatest films of all time.

Much like the film itself, the opening logo of Paramount dissolving into a mountain is iconic. But it seems that incorporating this simple transition was far from simple for the crew.

It’s almost time for The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which occur this Friday.

The show will air on CBS so daytime fans can see who takes home the coveted awards first-hand.

In April, the Daytime Emmy nominations gave soap fans a lot to talk about, especially when it came to Dick Van Dyke’s historic nomination.

As the award ceremony draws near, we think it’s time to predict who will win in the soap categories.

To be honest, every single nominee deserves to be a winner, but only one will take home the statue on Friday night.

Here’s who we think will win the Daytime Emmy Awards.

Both Princess Diaries movies subtly reference Pretty Woman through iconic scenes. Collaborators of Garry Marshall in Pretty Woman appeared in The Princess Diaries films. Recurring actors, iconic lines, & familiar scenes connect the family-oriented Princess Diaries to the rom-com classic.

Despite being completely different stories for different audiences, The Princess Diaries movies have two subtle but fun references to Pretty Woman. Filmmaker Garry Marshall became best known for his rom-coms in the 1980s and 1990s, and one of his most memorable works is the 1990 film Pretty Woman. Starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere (in their first rom-com collaboration with Marshall), Pretty Woman took the audience to Los Angeles to meet Vivian Ward (Roberts), a sex worker and escort, and Edward Lewis (Gere), a rich corporate raider from New York who hires Vivian to accompany him to social events for a week.

Cast salaries for How I Met Your Mother increased with the show's popularity, pulling in impressive sums per episode. Although specific salaries are kept private, some cast members like Wayne Brady earned $30,000 per episode. Stars like Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders made substantial amounts, reflecting the show's success with millions of viewers.

The How I Met Your Mother cast salary for stars like Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel, and Josh Radnor of course increased as the show gained in popularity. By the time the series finale aired in 2014, the How I Met Your Mother cast pulled in an impressive sum for each episode, with a pay packet that reflected just how successful the sitcom had been. In nine seasons, How I Met Your Mother gained an incredibly amount of traction with fans, and there are many that are still quoting Barney's playbook or Lily's wise words.

When you sit down to watch a documentary about the Beach Boys, you know what you want: to be immersed in the California dreamin’ of the group’s early surfin’-hit days, in the jaunty beauty of songs like “I Get Around” and “Help Me Rhonda” and “All Summer Long,” and in the story of how Brian Wilson began to figure out a way to turn pop songs into miniature symphonies. You want to be immersed in the recording of “Pet Sounds,” in the Beach Boys’ rivalry with the Beatles, in the derailed masterpiece that was “Smile,” and in how Brian’s mental and emotional problems began to tear himself and the group apart.

The “Paw Patrol” franchise is now 10 years old — 70 in dog years — and with each installment, children and their parents have been treated to exciting adventures, wholesome characters and cool new merchandise. What began as a preschool TV series in 2013 got the silver-screen treatment in 2021 with the inventively named “Paw Patrol: The Movie,” broadening its scale and reach but sacrificing none of its lesson-learning or toy-slinging. Given the property’s theatrical and streaming success, there’s an audience perpetually hungry to connect with the ongoing saga of a tween boy and his pack of four-legged heroes. The fantasy-forward follow-up “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie,” involving a meteor, magic crystals and a mad scientist (who hates being called that), expands their journey to saving the world.

This time, their mission holds greater challenge and peril — raising the bar creatively and bumping the MPAA rating from G to PG. While not as subversive as its predecessor,...
