Exclusive: Russell Crowe, Jacob Tremblay, Shailene Woodley and Annabelle Wallis have signed on to star in Unabom, a new thriller on domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski to be directed for Netflix and MRC by Janus Metz (Andor).

Inspired by true events, Unabom originated as a spec from Sam Chalsen & Nelson Greaves, the writers behind Radio Silence’s forthcoming Art Bell project, who have developed the film alongside 2.0 Entertainment since its inception. The pic follows Kaczynski’s (Tremblay) transformation from Harvard prodigy into the infamous Unabomber, who carried out a nationwide bombing campaign in the U.S. from 1978-95, killing three people and injuring 23.

Subjected to controversial psychological experiments by Professor Henry Murray (Crowe), Kaczynski’s troubled past resurfaces decades later when his manhunt, led by FBI agent Joanne Miller (Woodley), brings to light the chilling consequences of ambition and isolation.

One thing is clear from the response to Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, and that is the fact that the reverse of the title is very true.

Thus, the renewal of the series for a second season, which has already added some extra star power in the form of new characters and cast members. After the first season of the show arrived on Netflix in Sept. 2024, there will be a bit of a wait for the next installment.

Exclusive: Fake Empire duo Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, best known for guiding Gossip Girl, have struck a first-look TV deal with Amazon MGM Studios and set up a luxurious new drama series.

The pair have struck a two-year deal with the company, which they are already in business with on a number of projects including Sterling Point, a drama from My Old Ass writer/director Megan Park and LuckyChap.

They have set their first project under the new deal – a drama set in Barneys New York.

The untitled series is set when Barneys reopens its doors in Manhattan, and the fashion elite and behind-the-scenes staff collide in a whirlwind of ambition, secrets, and style.

Barneys was a New York institution; a high-end department store that was founded in 1923. After being acquired by Authentic Brands Group, it closed its brick-and-mortars stores but remained as a brand, particularly as a partnership...

On April 14, Deadline broke the news that, after a bidding war, Netflix had secured a new thriller series adaptation based on the book Dead Letters by Caite Dolan-Leach. Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) is set to star and executive produce the drama with Alex Cooper's (Call Her Daddy ) Unwell Productions and Aaron Laplan's Kaptial Entertainment.

The project took off because Lucy Hale loved reading the book. After talking to her manager, Leeds, they looped in Kaplan to collaborate on the thriller series. It's no surprise that Hale is set to play identical twins, Ava and Zelda. Her love for the story could prove crucial to the success of this upcoming Netflix show. Book adaptations can be tricky, but having a fan of the book star in and produce it sounds like a win.

Fans have seen Hale pull off a multitude of different characters throughout her career. I haven't read the book,...

An adaptation of Caite Dolan-Leach’s 2017 novel, the project comes from Unwell Productions, the company of Call Her Daddy‘s Alex Cooper, and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.

When Ava returns home to the family vineyard in the wake of Zelda’s sudden death, she must find out who murdered her beloved twin while reckoning with dangerous revelations about the woman Zelda had become in her absence. To complicate matters: Zelda knew she was in...

Filming a multi-camera sitcom with a live studio audience is probably pretty fun, and when it comes to Chuck Lorre's hit CBS series "The Big Bang Theory," the cast has been pretty clear over the years that one (very good) episode in season 7 was particularly delightful to film.

In Jessica Radloff's 2022 book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series," main cast members Jim Parsons, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Mayim Bialik — who played Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz, Raj Koothrappali, and Amy Farrah Fowler — fondly look back on filming the season 7 episode "The Scavenger Vortex," where Raj sets up a scavenger hunt for his friends and goes all out. So how did the episode even come into being?

Co-executive producer and writer Eric Kaplan explained that his brother did a lot of group scavenger hunts,...

Mel Novak, the great movie villain known for his slick turns as the sniper Stick in Bruce Lee’s Game of Death, the gangster Blue Eyes in Jim Kelly’s Black Belt Jones and the informant Tony Montoya in Chuck Norris’ An Eye for an Eye, has died. He was 90.

Novak died Wednesday of natural causes at a hospice facility in Granada Hills, his daughter Nikol Conant told The Hollywood Reporter.

In a career that spanned seven decades, the charismatic Novak did lots of his own stunts, as in The Ultimate Warrior (1975), starring Yul Brynner and Max von Sydow. That was one of the four films he made with Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse.

In his death scene for that post-apocalyptic adventure, “They covered me with peanut butter and sunflower seeds and then put 40 live rats on me,” Novak recalled in a 2018 interview. “I told their trainer, ‘If one of them bites me,...

The U.S. celebrates Easter on Apr. 20, and, one weekend ahead of the cultural holiday, Angel Studios is releasing a new Christian film. This time, it will tell Jesus Christ's story as an animated film.

The King of Kings is loosely inspired by the children's book The Life of Our Lord by Charles Dickens, published several decades after the author's death. The animated film has the voices of many A-list actors, including Oscar Isaac as the voice of Jesus, and follows Charles Dickens as he narrates the story of Jesus Christ. Ahead of its release in theaters on Apr. 11, The King of Kings debuted with a positive score of 76% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The King of Kings' 76% score comes from 21 reviews. The score might fluctuate as more reviews come in, but the film is up to an enthusiastic start. Considering the animated movie is not yet in theaters, it doesn't have...

Stars: Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Olha Bosova, Banner Eisenberg, Jakub Gasowski, Will Sharpe, Daniel Oreskes, Liza Sadovy, Kurt Egyiawan, Jennifer Grey | Written and Directed by Jesse Eisenberg

Cousins David (Jessie Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) Kaplan are brought together after the death of their Grandmother, who left them money in her will to embark on the trip of a lifetime. Leaving the USA to join a group tour in Poland, the pair are not only confronted with their Jewish roots and history but with the entirely real facets of each other.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the astute and acerbic Jessie Eisenberg already has a few films under his belt from behind the camera, but astonishingly, A Real Pain marks his directorial debut. It’s a triple-hander for the mind behind the movie, simultaneously writing, directing, and starring the narrative surrounding two cousins who couldn’t be further apart.

In director Barry Levinson's The Alto Knights, Robert De Niro plays not one, but two mob bosses. You'd think that with double the screen time, the mafia drama would be a big hit with fans and critics who have been following De Niro's career since the days of Mean Streets, but unfortunately that isn't the case here. The Alto Knights has landed with an echoing thud on Rotten Tomatoes, signaling that the two-hour movie is probably worth skipping this weekend in theaters.

Holding a rotten rating of just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, noted Canadian critic Richard Crouse says, "The Alto Knights is a slick movie, with nice period details, but the shallow look at the relationships of the protagonists and a repetitive, drawn-out script blunts the power of the story." Odie Henderson from The Boston Globe adds:

"When we're not being fed warmed-over narration and editing tricks that remind...

Exclusive: Brooke Shields is ready to revisit the setting that made her a global star in the 1980 movie The Blue Lagoon, with SNL alum David Spade joining her for the ride. Fox is developing Almost Paradise, a multi-camera sitcom from comedy veteran Danny Zuker (Modern Family) and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.

Written by Zuker, Almost Paradise is described as The Blue Lagoon meets Gilligan’s Island. Its logline reads: Just your everyday, normal married couple facing all the everyday, normal challenges of being stranded on a desert Island for decades. Think Blue Lagoon, the family sitcom.

The idea originated from a general meeting between Shields and Kaplan. The two then approached Spade, on whose NBC sitcom Just Shoot Me! Shields had guest starred and Zuker had worked for two seasons as consulting producer/co-executive producer.

Shields and Spade have no deals for Almost Paradise, which has a two-script order from Fox,...

Quick LinksNorth by Northwest Is Generally Considered “The Hitchcock Picture to End All Hitchcock Pictures”North by Northwest's Legacy Cannot Be DeniedCary Grant Makes North by Northwest

I might be one of the few Alfred Hitchcock fans who thinks North by Northwest is not the best Alfred Hitchcock film. There are plenty of arguments as to why it can be considered peak Hitch. From its iconic scenes in famous locations to the way it captured the whole vibe of mid-20th century America, there's a lot to appreciate about North by Northwest. And who doesn't enjoy seeing Cary Grant get to exercise both his dramatic and comedic acting chops?

The premise of the film, where Grant is an ad-man who gets mistaken for a spy, was apparently inspired by a suggestion from Otis L. Guernsey Jr. from a real-life scenario involving Nazi Germany. I am not trying to be...

It marks Cooper’s first series for her production company Unwell Productions.

The series is set on the high seas. A group of “sexy singles” step board a luxury yacht, ready to mix and mingle and find love. But there’s a twist.

In the end, only one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the top, and who will be left stranded?

Cooper’s Unwell Productions will produce alongside Jeff Jenkins Productions in association with 3Bmg,...

Preschoolers can saddle up for a wild ride as Nickelodeon unveils Kid Cowboy, its first original animated series for YouTube, centering on a guitar-playing kid hero who champions justice in a futuristic world.

Debuting Friday, Jan. 24, on Nickelodeon’s Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel, the music-driven, Spanish language-infused series is produced by Nickelodeon Unscripted & Digital Studio, created by Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler, and executive produced by Wexler and 19-time Grammy Award winner Emilio Estefan.

Kid Cowboy marks Nickelodeon’s first original animated series specially developed for YouTube, with new content rolling out regularly across the brand’s ecosystem of preschool channels, which are designated as Made for Kids on the platform.

Kid Cowboy follows the escapades of the title character, as he keeps watch over the diverse, futuristic kid world of Esperanza, fighting for good in the name of The Cowboy Code–Be Brave!

Nickelodeon is moving beyond its classic TV roots by launching its first original animated series on YouTube. The show, Kid Cowboy, is made for preschoolers and introduces a futuristic world called Esperanza.

The story follows Kid Cowboy and his best friend, Luna, as they protect their community with the help of robot horses. Created by Grammy-nominated songwriter Freddy Wexler, the series also features music composed by Wexler and Grammy-winning producer Emilio Estefan.

Described as a fresh take on cowboy culture, Kid Cowboy is filled with diverse characters, flying robo-horses, and engaging music. Wexler called the show ‘a futuristic playground’ that reimagines what kids’ entertainment can be, especially in a world where streaming and short-form videos dominate.

The series made its debut on the Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel, which has 6 million subscribers. Nickelodeon’s YouTube network, which the team built up in 2019, includes over 50 channels with 200 million combined subscribers.

Nickelodeon has built up a huge following on YouTube, with more than 50 channels devoted to properties ranging from SpongeBob SquarePants to Paw Patrol. What it hasn’t done — until now — is launched an original animated series on the platform.

On Friday, Nick debuted Kid Cowboy, a show aimed at preschoolers that follows the title character and his best friend, Luna, as they keep watch over and fight for justice in the futuristic world of Esperanza (with help from their robot horses). Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler created the series and executive produces with multiple Grammy winner Emilio Estefan; the two are also the show’s principal composers.

“Kid Cowboy is a futuristic playground of flying robo-horses, incredible music, and a cast of kids as diverse and dynamic as the stories they’re living,” Wexler said in a statement. “The move to premiere it on YouTube signals a strategic pivot...

The Vampire Diaries was a massive hit for The CW Network throughout its eight-season run. After a break from the supernatural genre, Paul Wesley, who played Stefan Salvatore in the series, is gearing up for a comeback.

Per Deadline, Wesley is teaming up with Fox to develop and executive produce a series about a vampire who happens to be an aspiring actor. According to the publication, "the untitled comedy focuses on the determined 25-year-old as he struggles with running the family business for his murderous and suffocating vampire parents while trying to chase his dream."

Updated, with Trump comment: With less than two weeks before Donald Trump takes office, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg announced a series of changes to its content moderation practices on Facebook and Instagram, including ending fact-checking and other restrictions.

“The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritizing speech,” Zuckerberg said in a video posted this morning. “So we’re going back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms.”

The changes are just the latest effort by Meta given that Trump and his allies have targeted the platform and Zuckerberg himself. Following Trump’s reelection, Zuckerberg met with the president-elect. Last week, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, Nick Clegg, announced his departure, to be replaced by Joel Kaplan, a Republican who has been sympathetic to claims that the platform has suppressed conservative voices.

Kaplan appeared on Fox & Friends,...

The horror comedy series Shining Vale premiered on Starz back in March of 2022, then the second season reached the airwaves in October of 2023. Unfortunately, it was cancelled soon after, as it “did not find a large enough audience to continue.” But Starz went further than just cancelling this show, they also it from their archives, removing from the Starz streaming service at the end of 2023. A year later, Shining Vale has now resurfaced and is available to watch on the Max streaming service!

Created by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, the first season of Shining Vale followed a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Pat is a...

Nick Clegg, who has led global affairs at Meta since 2018, is stepping down, to be succeeded by his deputy, Joel Kaplan.

The changes in Meta’s public policy and lobbying team come as corporations in general are prepping their shops for the incoming Donald Trump administration and Republican majority.

Kaplan, VP of global public policy, was deputy chief of staff for policy under President George W. Bush, and previously served as deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. He joined Facebook in 2011. In 2020, The Washington Post reported that Kaplan argued against some content moderation measures, arguing that they would disproportionately harm conservative voices.

Clegg, the former deputy prime minister of the UK and leader of the Liberal Democrats, wrote on Facebook, “As a new year begins, I have come to the view that this is the right time for me to move on from my role as President,...

The Animation Guild has ratified its contract with the major studios, despite concerns from some about protections against artificial intelligence.

The guild announced that 76.1% of the members voted in favor of the deal.

“This agreement is the next step forward in our goal to create the strongest contract for our members,” said Steve Kaplan, the business representative of the union, in a statement.

The three-year contract includes raises of 7%, 4%, and 3.5% across the board, as well as higher gains for specific crafts. Among them is a provision requiring “pay equity” for color designers, which has been traditionally female dominated, and a staffing minimum for TV animation writers.

The deal did not include most of the negotiators’ more ambitious demands, such as a provision allowing members to opt out of using AI in their jobs, and to opt out of having their work used to train AI systems. The Alliance of Motion...

Note also that The Film Stage Holiday Gift Guide includes a list of my favorite cinema books from the last 12 months. One of those picks kicks off this column, and it is written by none other than the great Al Pacino.

Al Pacino’s memoir, Sonny Boy, is easily one of the most eagerly awaited books of 2024. And for me, this look at the actor’s life and career more than lives up to the hype. Many highlights have already earned some social-media chatter––most notably young Al’s penis trauma (!), a near-death experience after a recent bout with Covid, and the reasons behind his decision to do Adam Sandler’s Jack and Jill.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along

Agatha All Along is responsible for introducing some particularly powerful new MCU characters, including one exciting replacement for the Scarlet Witch. Wanda Maximoff ostensibly died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, though doubt has been cast on the permanence of her death on multiple occasions. This was reignited in Agatha All Along episode 7 when Agatha responded with "Yes. No. Maybe?" when asked by Billy Maximoff/Kaplan if Wanda Maximoff is really dead.

Still, while her departure may have removed a significant player among the McU's most powerful characters, Agatha All Along has started to fill the void she left behind. For one thing, Lilia Calderu's precognitive powers are not to be sniffed at, though she is also ostensibly dead following the end of Agatha All Along episode 7. Death herself - a character whose powers are godlike - was also...

In the first episode of the fifth and final season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "Dos Cerritos," D'Vana Tendi (Noël Wells) is still living among her fellow Orion pirates, commanding her own vessel and regularly going on plundering excursions. Although Tendi is a capable fighter, she is mild-mannered at heart, trying to rein in the ultra-violent, murder-forward ethos of her crew. Not-so-secretly, Tendi longs to return to the U.S.S. Cerritos, where she can happily be a junior office; medical science, her friends, and gentle service interest her more than looting and violence. Luckily, Tendi's sister D'Erica has offered a deal; salvage a crashed 300-year-old Orion vessel from a distant planet, and Tendi will be allowed to leave Orion again to pursue her Starfleet dreams. 

A snag: when Tendi arrives at the location of the downed Orion vessel, there are others eager to salvage it for themselves. Tendi...

Following Wednesday's episode of Agatha All Along, we now know the truth about how Billy Maximoff survived the events of WandaVision.

The 10-year-old's soul inhabited the body of 13-year-old Willam Kaplan, but was left with no real memories of either life...beyond having a brother named Tommy. Lilia Calderu put the sigil on William before he came Billy and showrunner Jac Schaeffer explained how all that works in an interview with The Wrap.

"Yeah, it works on the witch who cast it, so once Lilia casts it, she can’t remember him," the writer and director tells the trade. "But the reason that Billy doesn’t remember Lilia is because he was William Kaplan at that time. And then the reason that he doesn’t remember Alice is because he was unconscious."

Schaeffer also shared details on a deleted scene involving Alice Wu-Gulliver and the car crash that killed William...

Agatha All Along is the newest addition to the MCU, exploring the magical and supernatural aspects of the cinematic universe that were only lightly addressed in earlier projects.

The series introduces a host of new characters and mysteries, including Alice Wu, a protective witch.

Alice’s backstory is quite tragic. Her mother, a witch, struggled with an ancient curse that threatened both her life and Alice’s. This curse impacted Alice throughout her life.

Lorna died in a hotel fire linked to the curse, and many mistakenly believed she was killed on “The Witches Road.” Although Alice never fully embraced the idea of magic, she sensed that something unusual was happening, especially as she struggled to maintain stable employment.

In the second episode of Agatha All Along, Alice loses her job as a mall security guard when Agatha tries to recruit her into her coven; prior to that, she had...

‘Agatha All Along’ is the latest addition to the MCU. The show focuses on a magical and supernatural side of the cinematic universe, something which was barely touched upon in previous projects.

The show also introduced plenty of characters and mysteries, and one of the new additions is the protection witch – Alice Wu.

Alice’s backstory is kind of tragic. Her mother was a witch suffering from an old curse that threatened to derail both her life and the life of her daughter. Throughout her life, Alice was affected by the said curse.

Lorna was killed in a hotel fire, from the effects of the curse, everyone mistakenly believed that she was killed on “The Witches Road.” Alice never exactly believed in magic, but she was aware that something had to be going on since she was seemingly unable to hold down a job.

In fact, Alice loses her job...

This week’s episode of Agatha All Along finally shed light on Billy’s motives and why he sought out Agatha in the first place. It turns out Billy had some awareness of his true origins all along and was cleverly manipulating Agatha, though she would never admit it.

Billy wasn’t after power. After his conversation with Ralph Bohner, he realized his twin brother was still out there, and his best chance of finding him was through Agatha—one of the last people to see his family alive.

Billy reveals that he can sense Tommy somewhere along the Witches’ Road, but he’s unable to pinpoint his location. There’s strong speculation that both Billy (Wiccan) and Tommy (Speed) will have significant roles in the MCU’s future, particularly with the Young Avengers storyline. But what are the chances of seeing Tommy in Agatha All Along?

After analyzing the likelihood,...

This week’s episode of ‘Agatha All Along’ finally cleared up what Billy was up to and why he searched for Agatha in the first place. As it turns out Billy was kind of aware of his origin all along, and he was actually quite masterfully playing Agatha, although she would never admit it.

Billy never wanted power, after talking to Ralph Bohner he realized that his twin is somewhere out there and the best bet to find him is Agatha – one of the last people to see him alive. To see his entire family alive.

Both Billy claims that he can sense Tommy somewhere on the Witches Road, but he can’t locate him. We’re quite confident that both Billy (Wiccan) and Tommy (Speed) will play an important part in the future of the MCU, especially in the context of Young Avengers. However, what are the odds of...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along episode 6, "Familiar By Thy Side."

A great call-back to Phase 1 of the MCU was included in Agatha All Along episode 6, which also confirmed an interesting detail about the current status of the Avengers team. Following the shocking, yet expected, reveal that Joe Locke's "Teen" is actually Billy Maximoff in Agatha All Along episode 5, "Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power," episode 6 explored his new origin story in the MCU. Detailing the three years between WandaVision and Agatha All Along, episode 6, "Familiar By Thy Side," uncovered previously unknown information about the McU's timeline.

Agatha All Along episode 6 took audiences back to WandaVision's finale, which took place on the same day as William Kaplan's Bar Mitzvah. The event was cut short by the Westview Anomaly being shrunk by the Scarlet Witch, and, in their haste, the Kaplan family ended up crashing their car,...

The following contains spoilers from Agatha All Along Episode 6, "Familiar by Thy Side," now streaming on Disney+.

After ending on a dramatic cliffhanger in last week's episode, Agatha All Along went back in time to reveal the origins of William Kaplan A.K.A. Billy Maximoff A.K.A. Teen. Just as Monica Rambeau's backstory arrived in the middle of WandaVision, Billy's survival of the Hex is (kind of) explained. The miniseries' sixth episode revisits a character from the previous series and shows audiences the other side of Agatha's, er Detective Agnes O'Connor's, scenes from the premiere. One could call "Familiar by Thy Side" a "filler" episode, but only because it fills in the blanks and narrative gaps.

While the sixth episode ends the second act of the nine-episode Agatha All Along, it may not be entirely satisfying to fans. The previous episode, "Darkest Hour/Wake Thy Power," ended with Teen revealing his magic,...

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for Episode 6 of Agatha All Along.

After the epic ending of Agatha All Along Episode 5 that revealed Teen’s true identity set to Billie Eilish’s “You Should See Me in a Crown,” Episode 6, titled “Familiar By Thy Side,” of the Marvel television series dove deeper into Teen’s past to make connections to how he got where he is today.

Teen was considered a Familiar, or amateur witch, until his blue powers crackled to life out of his anger at the death of Alice (Ali Ahn) in Episode 5 after Agatha siphoned off her powers in the trial testing Agatha.

The opening scene of Episode 6 shows Teen getting ready for synagogue donning a blue yarmulke, where he performs the rights for his bar mitzvah, or thirteenth birthday party that marks a boy’s transition into manhood. His parents (Paul Adelstein and Maria Dizzia) follow...

Just like the red-colored lunch box that is used as a pivotal story-telling tool in Sunflower Girl, the story itself is packed full, except with a bunch of different themes and emotions. That’s particularly remarkable given Sunflower Girl just happens to be a short that clocks in at a mere thirteen minutes. However, that proves to be enough for director Holly M. Kaplan to convey what she was set out to.

The story here is rather simple. Rosie, a Chinese-American teenager, is asked by her mother to pick up her kid sister Amy from school.
