I thought my pink leopard boots were so cool.” Standing 5 feet 2 ½ inches (158.8 cm) tall, the American actress may be petite, but she has made a striking impact in the entertainment industry with her fearless red carpet moments.

This premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival and it also played at the Provincetown, Frameline, Outfest LA, and Stockholm Film Festivals last year. Now set for a release in June in limited theaters.

One of last year's festival darlings, Cora Bora, has just dropped its first trailer ahead of its theatrical release on June 14th. Cora Bora tells the story of Cora, who heads back home to win over her girlfriend before realising it isn't just her romantic life that needs fixing. The movie stars Megan Stalter (Hacks), Jojo T. Gibbs (Twenties), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Ayden Mayeri (Veep), Thomas Mann (Project X), Chrissie Fit (Pitch Perfect), Andre Hyland (The Fourth), Margaret Cho (All-American Girl), and Chelsea Peretti (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), with Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live).

Meg Stalter is taking the lead in her latest feature “Cora Bora.”

The comedy, which premiered at the 2023 SXSW Festival, stars the “Hacks” breakout actress as the titular musician who goes home to win back her girlfriend only to realize it’s much more than her love life that needs salvaging.

Hannah Pearl Utt directs the comedy from a script by Rhianon Jones. The cast includes Jojo T. Gibbs, Manny Jacinto, Ayden Mayeri, Thomas Mann, Chrissie Fit, Andre Hyland, Margaret Cho, Chelsea Peretti, and Darrell Hammond. The film features original music and a score composed by indie artist Miya Folick.

“I’m thrilled for audiences to get to see Meg in a leading role and to fall for her character the way I have,” director Utt said in a press statement.

The IndieWire review called Stalter a “whirlwind and a universe unto herself” who boasts “her unique brand of uncomfortably confident loser” onscreen.

Exclusive: Lissette Feliciano (Women Is Losers) is attached to write and direct On Your Feet, a feature adaptation of the same-name Broadway musical that’s in early development at Sony Pictures, Deadline has learned.

A jukebox musical that tells the inspiring true story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan, two Cuban immigrants who launched themselves to international musical stardom from humble beginnings, On Your Feet will be produced by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, as well as John and Jordan Davis of Davis Entertainment, with John Fox exec producing.

Premiering in November 2015 at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway, where it ran for more than 750 performances, the show specifically hones in on Gloria’s Estefan’s trajectory from her early days in Miami to her breakthrough as the lead singer of the Miami Sound Machine — a crossover artist, blending Latin and pop music — and ultimately, her triumphant return to the stage after a near-fatal accident.

Exclusive: Vertical has acquired North American rights to Parachute, the romantic drama marking the directorial debut of actress Brittany Snow (X), which won multiple awards in its debut at SXSW 2023, recognizing Snow and star Courtney Eaton (Yellowjackets). The film from Yale Productions, also starring Thomas Mann (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), is set to open in select theaters on April 5.

Written by Snow and Becca Gleason (Summer ’03), Parachute boasts a starry cast that also includes Gina Rodriguez (Not Dead Yet), Dave Bautista (Dune: Part Two), Joel McHale (Community), Francesca Reale, and Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi (Silent Night).

Brittany Snow and Jaspre Guest did not let the month close without toasting the three-year anniversary of their mental health platform September Letters.

The List is bound to generate some water cooler buzz. Or is it Google Meets or Slack buzz these days? Either way, the new comedy starring Halston Sage (The Orville), Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why), and Jonah Platt (Uncoupled) presents an interesting question: which celebrity would you sleep with if you were given the chance? Who’s on your “free pass” list? That’s Abby’s (Sage) dilemma in The List.

After discovering her fiancé (Platt) slept with a celeb on his free pass list, Abby and gal pal Chloe (Chrissie Fit) concoct a wild plan. Maybe Abby should pursue her own sleep-with-a-celeb list, so why not put a bevy of hunks right on top of the list? It’s all fun and celeb crushes until Abby meets Jake (Navarro), an L.A. waiter who has big dreams.

Written by Rob Lederer and Steve Vitolo, The List is directed by...

"That's so shallow. I love this for you." Universal has revealed an official trailer for a direct-to-vod sex comedy called The List, which looks as cheesy and cliche as you might expect from that title. It's written by two men, because of course it is, though it's directed by Melissa Miller Costanzo. After her fiance sleeps with a celebrity on his "free pass" list, Abby, with nothing but five names and the fantasies shared by millions, sets out for Los Angeles to sleep with someone from hers. Just as she starts to get close to living the ultimate dream in La La Land, things become complicated when Abby meets Jake, a waiter with big dreams of his own, who offers a fresh perspective. Starring Halston Sage as Abby, Christian Navarro, Lucy DeVito, Clark Backo, and Chrissie Fit, plus the hot guys: Rich Morrow as Mac West, Gregg Sulkin as Cooper,...

“The List” is a new romantic comedy feature, directed by Melissa Miller Costanzo, starring Halston Sage, Christian Navarro, Lucy DeVito, Gregg Sulkin, Will Petz, Chrissie Fit, Delaney Marie Rowe, Geoff Pierson, Clark Backo and Stephanie Sanditz, available on demand August 22, 2023:

“…’Abby’ is about to get married and everything is perfect. Until she finds out her fiancé slept with a celebrity from a list.

“To get her mind off things, Abby and her best friend ‘Chloe’ come up with a crazy idea – Abby should pursue a celebrity from her own list, which includes tough guy action movie star ‘Mac West’, ‘Sexiest Man Alive Cooper Grant’ and multi-‘Platinum Grammy’ award-winning rapper ‘Avon’…”

The new trailer for Universal’s romantic comedy “The List” teases Halston Sage and Christian Navarro finding love in a hopeless place – Los Angeles.

Abby (Sage) wasn’t expecting to add Jake (Navarro) to her dating itinerary, but after a rough breakup leads to her building a list of celebrity “free passes” and traveling to Los Angeles to court the rich and famous, his ambition and charm catches her off guard and flips her expectations of love on their head.

The romcom charts Abby’s personal reinvention when her fiancé cheats on her and sleeps with a celebrity on his “free pass” list. She and her best friend Chloe (Chrissie Fit) then come up with Abby’s own celebrity list of men to sleep with. But while tracking down a leading Hollywood man type, a waiter named Jake has her rethinking exactly what she’s looking for in a partner.

Brittany Snow is opening up about one of the “hardest mental health challenges” she has faced in the past year and how she has relied on her friends for support.

Although Snow doesn’t reveal too many details, the American Dreams alum filed for divorce in January of this year from husband of two years Tyler Stanaland. The couple had announced they were separated four months prior amid drama stemming from the Netflix reality series Selling the Oc.

“In the past year I went through probably the hardest mental health challenge I’ve ever faced. In one day, in a matter of hours, my life turned completely upside down,” Snow told Bustle. “I was blindsided and every thing I thought I knew, held sacred and truly trusted in my life was completely different.”

Snow continued, “A couple days later my grandmother passed away and I think every thing I knew about mental health was tested.
