Aaron Eckhart is set to return to the “Muzzle” universe in action thriller “Muzzle: City of Wolves.”

The actioner marks the sequel to “Muzzle” and will be directed by John Stalberg Jr. (Lionsgate’s “Crypto”), who also directed the first installment. Jacob Michael King (“Caviar”) wrote the script from a story by Carlyle Eubank (“The Signal”) and Stalberg Jr.

Highland Film Group is handling international rights and introducing “Muzzle: City of Wolves” to buyers at the Marché du Film.

In “Muzzle: City of Wolves,” Jake Rosser (Eckhart), haunted by Ptsd from his days as a K-9 officer, endeavors to lead a peaceful life with his family and retired K-9 companion, Socks. But the tranquility quickly dissolves when a ruthless gang targets them in a brutal attack. Determined to protect his loved ones, Jake and his new K-9 partner Argos delve into a violent underbelly of crime where Jake confronts corrupt officials,...

“Bluey” has returned for a surprise episode set to drop this weekend.

Appropriately titled “Surprise,” little is known about this sneaky new episode. Will the latest edition to the Bluey-verse emotionally devastate the parents of the world, similar to last weekend’s TV special?

Details are scarce, but what we do know is that the brand-new episode will premiere on Sunday, April 21, on Disney+ at 12 a.m. Pt and will also air on Disney Junior at 7 a.m. Pt and on the Disney Channel at 7:30 a.m. Pt.

Created by Joe Brumm, “Bluey” centers around a family of dogs named the Heelers (who also happen to be Blue Heelers). Bluey lives with her sister Bingo, her mother Chilli, and her father Bandit in Brisbane, Australia. Together, the Heeler family spends most episodes tackling the simple challenges of life. But even the simplest of tasks is made uniquely adorable...

I feel a little sorry for all of the therapists who woke up on Monday to voicemails about how once again, the dogs with square-shaped heads made adults cry into dry-heaving devastation. April 14 marked the release of "The Sign," the highly-anticipated 28-minute special episode of "Bluey." Typical episodes of the hit Australian show for pre-schoolers (that adults can't help but love) range from 8 to 11 minutes, so "The Sign" might as well have been a feature-length film for these beloved canines. "Bluey" is consistently one of the most-streamed shows globally, and in an unfortunate landscape where studios and networks are deprioritizing their entertainment offerings for children, the well of emotional competency, imaginative play, and creativity presented in each story has made the series a must-watch for all audiences — kids or not.

"Bluey" has never been afraid to tackle stories on the difficult realities of life, but has always ensured that the...

When The Jonas Brothers open their show in Brisbane by walking out to your animated kid show’s theme tune, then that theme song and that show have done way more than entertain some 6-year-olds. The show in question, “Bluey,” has been a phenomenon for a while — it’s approved by the kids of “Abbott Elementary” as well as millions worldwide — and the music by composer Joff Bush and a coterie of talented collaborators has fueled two albums and untold instances of “Dance Mode.”

Music has always anchored the wordless sequences where “Bluey” reaches its most poignant heights — whether gently cribbing from Gustav Holst as younger sister Bingo swims past the planets in her dream in “Sleepy Time” or ever-so-slightly tweaking a recurring theme as Rusty walks off the cricket pitch in “Cricket” and high fives his future self as that Rusty steps up to a much bigger stage. But the latest,...
