Following the screening, Matthew joined Austin and Darren, 56, for a Q&a.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis: Hank Thompson (Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant. When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all...

There’s a particularly delightful gag in Season 1 of Apple TV+’s “The Studio,” in which Ike Barinholtz’s character Sal Saperstein becomes the go-to guy to thank at the Golden Globes. And yes, Dave Franco intends to thank him in real life at the Emmys, should he win the award.

Franco plays himself in the series, albeit a very intoxicated version of himself. Still, the performance earned him a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor, making him one of the five nominees “The Studio” has in the category (out of six nominees total).

Sitting down with MTV UK, alongside his wife Alison Brie for their new horror film “Together,” Franco promised that, so long as the joke isn’t overplayed by the time he reaches the stage, he’d be sure to keep it going.

“What’s crazy is like, I think so many people are going to thank Sal Saperstein,...

Would you rather let a snake loose in the walls of Taylor Swift’s home, or destroy her bathroom to prevent exactly that? That’s not just a fun hypothetical, that’s the choice Zoë Kravitz actually had to make recently — and she went for the latter.

Stopping by “Late Night” on Tuesday evening in support of her new film “Caught Stealing,” which hits theaters on Aug. 29, the actress revealed that she evacuated to Swift’s house when the Los Angeles wildfires hit. Kravitz also brought her mom Lisa Bonet with her, and Bonet just so happens to have a pet snake.

According to Kravitz, she had to travel for work, so Bonet planned to stay a bit longer. As the actress packed her things, she offered a heads up to her mom.

“I was saying to my mom, ‘I want to be a good house guest. I like to...

Zoë Kravitz almost got a bad reputation as Taylor Swift’s house guest. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the actress described staying with her mom, Lisa Bonet, in Swift’s home after evacuating during the Los Angeles wildfires in January.

“She was kind enough to let me stay at her house,” Kravitz said. “My mom lives in Topanga Canyon, so I said, ‘No, that’s a dangerous place to be. Come [here].’ And my mom has a pet snake, and so she has her evacuation stuff; she came over with the snake.

Zoë Kravitz almost got a bad reputation as a house guest due to a snake incident at Taylor Swift’s home.

The actress-director made a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, where she recalled nearly losing her mom Lisa Bonet’s pet snake in the pop superstar’s home. Kravitz and her mother were staying at Swift’s house after evacuating their homes due to the Los Angeles wildfires in January.

“She was kind enough to let me stay at her house,” Kravitz said. “My mom lives in Topanga Canyon, so I said, ‘No, that’s a dangerous place to be. Come [here].’ And my mom has a pet snake, and so she has her evacuation stuff; she came over with the snake. We ended up having to stay there for maybe about two weeks, and Taylor has this very beautiful house. I think it’s from the ’30s,...

Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz are getting ready to promote their new movie Caught Stealing and they’re both in the Big Apple right now!

The co-stars were spotted on separate outings on Monday afternoon (August 11) in New York City.

Austin was seen stepping out to do some shopping while Zoe was spotted greeting fans while leaving the Bowery Hotel.

The new film is based on the book by Charlie Huston, and “follows Hank Thompson, a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ‘90s NYC.”

Caught Stealing will be released in theaters on August 29 and there’s a steamy trailer available right now.

Amid recent rumors that Austin and Zoe are dating in real life, a source spoke out about the reports.

It doesn’t get much more Hollywood than this: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s star-packed Hollywood satire The Studio for Apple TV+ is basking in the golden glow of awards season thanks to the Television Academy, which just handed over 23 nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards, tying the record for most comedy nominations in a single season and emerging as the show to beat over favorites like Hacks and The Bear.

“I don’t think anything good is ever going to happen, so it’s nice when it does,” quips Rogen by telephone hours after nominations were revealed last month. It’s a statement that would effortlessly roll out of the mouth of the man he plays on the show, frequently beleaguered studio boss Matt Remick who is trying to maintain his perch and build a legacy in an IP-dominated industry. Kool-Aid man aside, the show featured a who’s who of Hollywood stars,...

Exclusive: Cinetic Media has signed Charlie Huston, the novelist and screenwriter behind the forthcoming Darren Aronofsky film Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler.

The announcement follows the news earlier this summer that veteran representative David Karp joined Cinetic as a senior manager.

Huston is the author of 13 novels, including the Hank Thompson Trilogy. Recently, they penned the screenplay adaptation of the first book in the series, Caught Stealing, for Sony, which is slated to release the film in theaters on August 29. Also starring Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith and Bad Bunny, among others, the film follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s NYC.

It's no secret that since its release on HBO last fall, The Penguin has been one of the most celebrated DC Studios properties in recent memory. The limited series, which has everyone clamoring for a second season, landed a staggering 24 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and nods for the performances of Colin Ferrell, Cristin Milioti, and Deirdre O'Connell. As we await the show's Emmy fate, one star is musing on a potential future team-up.

While appearing on The Today Show, Cristin Milioti spoke about the excitement surrounding her first Emmy nomination for The Penguin and gave some insight into how she prepared for her role as Sofia. She loved donning a wig and worked hard on perfecting Sofia's fluctuating accent, but it's the suggestion of a potential season 2 or, perhaps more interestingly, a spinoff project focused on Sofia and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman that will have fans hanging on every word.

As Fantastic Four Debuts, Incredibles 2 Rises In Global Streaming Charts (Photo Credit – Hotstar)

The latest Marvel reboot, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, hit the big screen on July 25, 2025. It opened to a strong box office debut and garnered favorable reviews from critics. As it continues its theatrical run, another superhero movie is witnessing a surge in streaming popularity and winning over audiences across the globe, years after its release. Read on to find out which movie it is and where to watch it in India.

This Superhero Movie Is A Big Streaming Hit

That movie is none other than the 2018 animated superhero film Incredibles 2, a sequel to the widely admired Pixar hit The Incredibles (2004). The critically acclaimed movie is currently ranked No. 3 among the top ten movies on the Disney+ streaming platform globally, according to FlixPatrol. Interestingly, the first film, The Incredibles, also started trending globally on streaming a few days ago.

Christian Bale Fell Asleep Filming Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Filming an iconic franchise can bring down the mightiest of actors. The gruelling hours can take a toll even on the most consummate professionals. Christian Bale can attest to this. The Prestige actor once had to be shaken awake by his baffled co-star Michael Caine after he nodded off mid-scene.

In 2005, Christopher Nolan was recruited to reboot the Batman franchise after the disastrous performance of 1997’s “Batman & Robin.” Critics and audiences slammed the film starring George Clooney and Chris Donnell. It also tanked at the box office, grossing a subdued $238 million against a budget of $125 million.

Christopher Nolan then swooped in to save the franchise from the brink of extinction. Nolan added his own darker spin to the Batman origin story, which was missing from its predecessors. However, it was a challenging task.

If you recently stumbled upon shocking headlines or social media posts claiming that beloved actress Geena Davis, who was last seen in Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut “Blind Twice,” has passed away, stop right there. The rumors swirling around the internet in August 2025 about Geena Davis’s death are completely false. Let’s unpack the truth and catch you up on what the award-winning star is really up to.

Geena Davis Death Rumors: What Really Happened?

In early August 2025, a fake Facebook page and scattered posts sparked panic among fans by announcing Geena Davis’s death. The detailed but fake “R.I.P. Geena Davis” message quickly gained traction, with many expressing their grief. However, no credible news outlets reported on this, which sparked skepticism since her passing would have been major news.

By August 10, 2025, Geena Davis’s representatives officially stepped forward to squash the rumors, affirming she is very much alive and well.

Could The Batman II be adding the second half of the Dynamic Duo? The sequel could introduce a key Batman character if one report turns out to be true.

The Batman was a monster hit in 2022 as Matt Reeves brought a fresh take to the Caped Crusader. Robert Pattinson played Bruce Wayne and his masked alter ego in a tale focusing on a flawed and troubled Dark Knight protecting Gotham from threats like The Riddler (Paul Dano). It all culminated in a massive flooding of Gotham City.

The story was expanded on in the HBO drama The Penguin with Colin Farrell reprising his film role as the crime boss. That ended with a hint of Batman returning. Work on the sequel has been delayed by various factors, such as the 2023 Hollywood strikes, with the current release date set for October 1, 2027.

Not much is known about the film so far aside...

On August 13, 2025, “Late Night With Seth Meyers” welcomes an exciting lineup for Season 12, Episode 128. The episode features actress Zoë Kravitz, reality-tv star Ariana Madix, and chef Josh Capon. Fans can expect an engaging night filled with laughter and interesting conversations.

Bryan Cranston won four Emmys for playing a power-hungry drug kingpin on AMC's landmark drama series Breaking Bad. But when he's not masquerading as the ruthless "one who knocks," the actor also enjoys showing off his comedic side.

Two decades ago, he received a trio of Emmy nominations for his role as Hal, the carefree husband and father on Malcolm in the Middle. He also earned laughs playing dentist Tim Whatley on Seinfeld, therapist Dr. Templeton on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and a heightened version of himself on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Now, he's yucking it up as The Studio's Griffin Mill, the outlandish CEO of Continental Studios, who's never met a psychedelic mushroom he didn't like. Cranston is nominated in Best Comedy Guest Actor alongside last year's winner, Jon Bernthal as Michael Berzatto for The Bear, plus four people from The Studio who are playing comedic versions of themselves: Dave Franco,...

There were few funnier things this year than watching the trio of Bryan Cranston, Zoë Kravitz and Dave Franco realize they mistakenly ingested too many mushrooms on The Studio.

That season one finale of the Apple TV+ Hollywood satire series saw Seth Rogen’s Hollywood studio head, Matt Remick, screw up the dosage of mushrooms that he offered both his coworkers and talent ahead of a mega presentation at San Diego Comic Con.

Turns out, something similar to Rogen and his co-creator Evan Goldberg in real life.

“[In The Studio], we’re supposed to give a big presentation for the studio and we accidentally… we think we’re all microdosing shrooms, but we all macrodose shrooms. Which is 100 percent a thing that happened to me and Evan [Goldberg] in real life,” Rogen told Jimmy Fallon when visiting The Tonight Show to promote the Emmy-nominated comedy.

Rogen admitted that “not surprisingly, I’ve mistimed the...

The premiere of Caught Stealing in Puerto Rico last night stirred up excitement, raising anticipation for the thriller’s release. Austin Butler, in the intense lead role, was joined by director Darren Aronofsky and global music icon Bad Bunny for an unforgettable evening.

Fans were treated to an exclusive sneak peek of Caught Stealing, confirming that the film will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Xavier García for Sony Pictures Entertainment What’s Caught Stealing about?

Caught Stealing follows Hank Thompson (Austin Butler), a former high school baseball star whose life is comfortable but predictable. He works as a bartender, enjoys a relationship with his girlfriend (Zoë Kravitz), and follows his favorite baseball team. But everything changes when his punk-rock neighbor, Russ (Matt Smith), asks him to watch his cat for a few days. What seems like a simple favor turns into a dangerous encounter with gangsters,...

Bad Bunny is currently in the middle of his Puerto Rico residency and he was able to promote his upcoming movie Caught Stealing in his hometown!

The 31-year-old entertainer was joined by co-star Austin Butler and director Darren Aronofsky at a screening of the movie on Thursday (August 7) in Puerto Rico.

Bad Bunny, who stripped down for a Calvin Klein campaign earlier this year, gave fans a peak at his underwear during the event.

Here’s the synopsis for Caught Stealing: Hank Thompson (Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant. When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds...

Matt Smithis taking on his hardest role yet in Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, as he tries to pull off a mohawk and make it look cool. And we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the new movie starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, and Bad Bunny. Smith plays Russ, the neighbor to Hank Thompson (Butler), who asks him to take care of his cat. But it doesn't go well, and instead of simply doing a favor for his neighbor, Hank finds himself dealing with a "motley crew of threatening gangsters." All because of Russ.

In our exclusive sneak peek, we get to see a bit more of Russ' look in the show, including Smith talking about his first impression with the screenplay and working with Aronofsky. "My first take when I was reading this film was 'Wow Darren Aronofsky's going to direct this film,'" Smith says with his mohawk in place.

Channing Tatum is confirmed to reprise his role as Gambit in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday, but before he suits up in the next major Marvel tentpole, he’s due to star in a crime drama that just got a thrilling new look. Tatum has been tapped to star alongside Kirsten Dunst and Ben Mendelsohn in Roofman, the upcoming film based on a shocking true story that’s coming to theaters on October 10. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we are happy to partner with Miramax to unveil an exclusive image of Tatum in Roofman, lying on the ground inside the Toys ‘R’ Us that houses him while he evades the police. Lakeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Peter Dinklage, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, and Jimmy O. Yang will also star in Roofman.

Roofman hails from writer/director Derek Cianfrance, with Kirt Gunn also contributing to the script. The film...

Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II is moving forward with filming scheduled to start in Spring 2026.

We have been feverishly waiting for more news on The Batman Part II here at Film Stories headquarters. Matt Reeves’ sequel to his 2022 dark superhero movie has experienced several delays and in April we reported that filming could finally get underway in 2026.

Those news have now been confirmed and we’re one step closer to seeing Robert Pattinson’s man of bats on the big screen again.

As Deadline reports, Warner Bros. sent a letter to the company’s shareholders confirming the film’s production date. Release date is still set for 1st October and unless The Batman Part II experiences any more delays, should be able to make it.

The Batman Part II will continue Pattinson’s Batman’s story and Colin Farrell will also return as the Penguin. James Gunn, current godfather of the new DC Studios,...

Throw up the Bat-signal, people! It’s been a long wait for The Batman Part II – Matt Reeves unleashed the first film in his bat-reboot back in 2022, and since then, there’s been slow progress on a follow-up (albeit with The Penguin arriving on the small screen in-between). But recently, there’s been fresh news from Gotham, with Reeves delivering his sequel script to DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. It seems that screenplay has gone down well with the brass, because Warner Bros looks to be gearing up to production on Part II in the not-too-distant future.

As reported by Variety, a recent Warner Bros Discovery letter to shareholders confirmed that production on Reeves’ sequel is due to begin in spring 2026; the film is currently pencilled in for an October 2027 release date. Little else is known about the project, other than that Robert Pattinson will return as Batman.

The Batman Part IIhas just received its biggest (and arguably most exciting) production update yet, which is sure to please DC fans. The next chapter in Matt Reeves' epic crime saga is officially one step closer to becoming a reality, as the movie has officially moved into the pre-production phase. It was not so long ago that the director confirmed that he and co-writer Mattson Tomlin had finished the script for the long-awaited sequel, but now it appears that they are moving full steam ahead to get the film ready for its planned 2027 release date.

According to ProductionList.com, and later confirmed by a recent Warner Bros. shareholders letter, the long-awaited Batman sequelhas locked in a production start date and preparations are underway for filming to begin. The prepwork includes organizing departments and hiring people for "production design, art direction, stunt coordination, costume, makeup, grip, lighting, camera, VFX, and post-production planning,...

While fans continue to raise questions about who is going to play Batman in James Gunn’s Dcu, the sequel to Robert Pattinson’s 2022 film just got a thrilling update. A new listing from Production List has confirmed that The Batman Part IIwill begin filming on January 1, 2026. The film also recently entered pre-production, meaning that sets are likely being built and schedules ironed out ahead of its official production start in less than six months. This leaves The Batman Part II with well over a year between its production start date and release date — the film is set to be released on October 1, 2027, after several rounds of delays. Matt Reeves is returning to direct with a script he wrote with Mattson Tomlin.

The Batman set the world on fire with its release in 2022. The film had been delayed several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But it finally premiered to...

Darren Aronofsky’s crime caper Caught Stealing is set to reach theatres on August 29th, with Francis Lawrence’s intense Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk following on September 12th and Scott Derrickson’s sequel to his Joe Hill adaptation The Black Phone (a sequel simply titled Black Phone 2) dropping on October 17th – and today, we have learned that the Motion Picture Association ratings board has given all three of these movies R ratings!

Directed by Aronofsky from a screenplay by Charlie Huston, who is also the author of the book that the movie is based on, Caught Stealing has the following synopsis: Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant.

Matt Reeves' The Batman: Part IIreceives its biggest production update yet, and fans and insiders couldn't be more excited.

Per Production List, director and co-writer Matt Reeves The Batman: Part II is officially slated to begin filming on January 1, 2026. Filming will begin at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in London, UK, with pre-production prep already under way. Casting calls and crew notices are currently expected to go out some time this Fall, while supporting character and background cast announcements are expected in early 2026.

Matt Reeves' first film in his The Batman saga, which was co-written by Peter Craig, introduced Robert Pattinson's take on the Dark Knight alongside a whole new kind of grim and gritty vision of Gotham City. The film featured a star-studded ensemble cast including Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, a.k.a Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton, a.k.a.the Riddler, and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot,...

Thanks to his leading role in Prime Video’s hit action series, Reacher, Alan Ritchson has now become a bona fide action superstar. Possessing the sort of size to rival that of even the “Austrian Oak” himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the charisma to boot, Ritchson putting his name on another action project outside the adventures of Jack Reacher is reason enough to be excited. And, thanks to a near-unrecognizable first look at the actor in Motor City, we could very well have an action thriller classic on our hands.

Alan Ritchson takes the lead in the ‘70s-inspired revenge thriller Motor City, which will reportedly only have five lines of dialogue. Instead, the thriller will let the action do the talking. In the first look image, which you can check out below, Ritchson combines his familiarly huge frame with long hair and a glorious beard as he finds himself behind bars...

Matt Smith is headed to a galaxy far, far away.

The “House of the Dragon” star has joined the cast of Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter” for Lucasfilm, sources close to the actor confirm. He will appear in a villain role, opposite previously announced cast members Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth. Lucasfilm could not be reached for comment.

This isn’t Smith’s first brush with the “Star Wars” franchise. The “Doctor Who” alum was previously cast in “The Rise of Skywalker,” but ultimately didn’t appear in the film. “We were close to being in it, but it never quite happened. I think the thing they were thinking of before. Eventually, the part became obsolete and they didn’t need it. So, I never got to be in ‘Star Wars,'” he told the Happy Sad Confused podcast in 2021. He declined to elaborate on the role he would...

Deadline reports that Matt Smith has joined the cast of Star Wars: Starfighter, with the actor set to play one of the villain roles in the movie. Ryan Gosling is already attached to star in the film, with Mia Goth also on board.

The film, which will be directed by Shawn Levy from a script by Jonathan Tropper, is a new standalone adventure set five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. It will feature all-new characters and explore a period of time that has not yet been explored on screen. Production is expected to kick off this fall. The film will hit theaters on May 28, 2027.

"What did you get me into?!" "Welcome to Narnia." Sony Pictures has debuted a new "inside look" promo featurette for the movie Caught Stealing, which is Darren Aronofsky's 1990s NYC crime comedy out in theaters in a few weeks.

They all want a piece of him; but he has no idea why. Starring Austin Butler as Hank,...

Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff’s earliest dates included long walks around New York City in places like Washington Square Park and near Electric Lady Studios, where they first met during a rooftop party. But while their romance was rooted in the city, the traditional approach they took to dating highlighted the actress’ North Carolina upbringing.

“Before we were together, at the beginning, I would always follow Southern girl etiquette,” Qualley told Cosmopolitan in a new cover story. Antonoff was the first to say “I love you” and often the...

The pilot episode of “The Studio” has perhaps its greatest cameo by a real-life Hollywood personality — none other than the auteur filmmaker himself, Martin Scorsese. In the extended guest appearance, the director is brought on to be the director for a “Kool-Aid” movie… although his version (a supposed passion project for the man behind “Raging Bull”) will actually be the story of Jim Jones’ notorious Jonestown massacre. He ends up getting fired, which offends Scorsese and every other major star in town, and at the end of the episode Seth Rogen and Ike Barinholtz’s studio mogul characters get kicked out of an exclusive Charlize Theron-hosted party.

Throwing Scorsese into a role that requires him to poke fun at his own persona, though, was a gamble — at least emotionally — for Rogen, who also co-wrote and co-directed the episode.

“It’s very weird,” Rogen told Variety. “The fact that he...

Trigger Warning: This article discusses buccal fat removal and topics related to cosmetic surgery.

Jenna Ortega is back in the news, but it has nothing to do with her acting chops. After photos of the 22-year-old at the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in a nude gown hit social media, she started trending on X. Fans began sharing side-by-side pictures, zooming in on what they saw as slimmer cheeks and a sharper jawline.

All of this set off a wave of guesses and opinions online. Some think she may have had buccal fat removal, a procedure that’s supposed to make your face look more sculpted. Whether that’s true or not, it’s clear everyone has an opinion when it comes to celebrity looks. Let’s look at the fan reactions.

With a big variety of series, dozens of first-time nominees and a few shows breaking back into the race, the 77th annual Emmy Awards are set to make history — possibly in more ways than one. Below, Variety breaks down the contenders in some of the main categories.

Drama series

Arguably, the most stacked race of all this year is the drama category. Although “Severance,” “The Last of Us,” “Slow Horses” and “Andor” have landed nominations in the category before, none of this year’s noms have taken home the trophy in the past. “Severance” is an early front-runner but it’s not without its huge competitors in the debuts this year. “Paradise” on Hulu racked up four nominations for its freshman year on Hulu, and “The Diplomat” caused quite a splash with its second season on Netflix, but HBO Max’s “The Pitt” (with 13 noms) remains the biggest competitor against the Apple TV+ leader.

As final-round Emmy voting approaches, Apple TV+’s The Studio has emerged as a serious contender, after tying the all-time nomination record for a comedy series with 23 nominations and becoming the most-nominated freshman comedy in Emmy history.

The workplace satire’s success could mark several historic milestones, particularly for Dominican-American producer Frida Perez, who stands on the cusp of making Emmy history.

If “The Studio” wins outstanding comedy series, Perez would become the first Latina to take home a trophy in that category and only the second Latino ever to win as a producer in any top series race in Emmy history. Currently, only Cuban American Celia D. Costas holds that honor for HBO’s “Angels in America” in 2004.

Perez, 29, has already made history as the first Latina nominated for outstanding writing in a comedy series for the pilot episode “The Promotion,” which she shares with Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg,...

Fans have been waiting with baiting breath for the script of The Batman II, the sequel of Matt Reeves’ 2022 hit starring Robert Pattinson. Now that Reeves and co-writer Mattson Tomlin have finished the script, the anticipation for the film is even bigger, and so is the anticipation of what the writers are doing next. It seems like Tomlin has already started working on his next project.

On X (formerly Twitter), when a fan asked Tomlin, “If you could write about another hero, who would it be?” The scribe cryptically said, “you’ll see.” While it’s great news for fans, the question arises which hero he is writing about and whether it’ll be set in James Gunn’s Dcu or Reeves’ Elseworlds.

Ever since taking the reins of Dcu, Gunn has constantly stressed upon “script first” approach of all DC projects going forward. It’s one of the primary...

Seth Rogen is the odds-on favorite to win so many Emmys for The Studio, he'll need to bring a mantelpiece as his plus-one.

According to Gold Derby's predictions for the 2025 Emmys, Rogen is out front to win Best Comedy Series (for which he's a producer), Best Comedy Actor, and Best Comedy Directing (for "The Oner"). Plus, he's the runner-up in Best Comedy Writing (for "The Promotion"), behind only the Hacks showrunning trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky (for "A Slippery Slope").

Should Rogen win all four, he'd be the only person in Emmy history to win those specific trophies in the same year. In 2020, Daniel Levy won three of the four for Schitt's Creek, but his acting award was for supporting, not lead. Here's what Rogen tells Gold Derby about potentially making history:

Did Hulu make a big mistake by cancelling Zoë Kravitz-starrer High Fidelity? Maybe. The television landscape is a vast horizon where shows need to keep up the pace, including acting, script, influence, critical reception, and whatnot. But, despite topping the charts with an 86% Rt rating, Hulu needed to walk past a comedy show, which has now become a cult-classic. Why?

On one hand, the reasons can be many, but on the other, despair of not living up to the streamer’s expectations or vice versa, The Batman star, Zoë Kravitz, spoke about this in an interview (via Esquire). The actress called out the streaming platform, saying,

“It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of colour we can watch. Oh wait.”

This promptly shows the actresses’ disapproval of Hulu, though the show had much scope to do better and continue streaming. But what...
