A team-bonding experience turns deadly in horror-thriller Corporate Retreat from White Noise producer Uri Singer’s Passage Pictures. Deadline reports today that the feature has found its lead in Shattered actor Lilly Krug.

It’s Singer’s description of the film that has us intrigued. The producer told Deadline, “We see Corporate Retreat as a chilling takedown of corporate culture that blends horror and social satire – it’s a gory mix of The Menu and Saw.”

Production is set to begin this June on the feature written and directed by Aaron Fisher (Inside the Rain). Kerri Lee Romeo co-wrote the script.

Corporate Retreat follows “a group of corporate executives from a rising tech company attending a company retreat at a remote desert mansion. The team-bonding trip turns into a blood-soaked competition when the group is trapped in a sadistic game of survival.”

Demi Moore has been making a comeback of the ages, with her performance in the body horror hit, The Substance, earning her multiple awards, including a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. But The Substance isn't the only recent body horror film she has starred in. In 2019, she appeared in another thriller, Corporate Animals, and it's currently available on horror streamer, Shudder.

The movie follows an abusive, egomaniac CEO named Lucy (Moore) as she leads employees from her company, Incredible Edibles, on a team-building exercise to try and save the business. The co-workers go spelunking in New Mexico, with Lucy deciding they need to on a much more advanced route, against the better judgment of the guide, Brandon (Ed Helms). What follows is a bizarre attempt at lampooning corporate culture that descends into cannibalism and chaos, plus an utterly bizarre dream sequence with Helms and co-star...

While other shows fight tooth and nail for viewers’ attention, the world always stops when news about the return of HBO‘s Euphoria is at hand. After a lengthy delay, confusion, and scheduling gymnastics, Euphoria is waking from its 4-year slumber with an eight-episode season that takes the characters out of high school for a strategic time jump. According to Deadline, Grammy Award winner Rosalía, Super Bowl Champion Marshawn Lynch, and beloved A Different World and White Man Can’t Jump actor Kadeem Hardison will join Zendaya, Jacob Elodi, Sydney Sweeney, and more for Euphoria Season 3.

The third season of Euphoria will air on HBO in 2026, giving fans time to speculate about where their favorite characters are after waving goodbye to high school and stepping into a world waiting to swallow them whole. Returning for Euphoria Season 3 are Zendaya, Haunter Schaefer, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow as series regulars.

“When did you first feel cancelled by your age?”

You knew that some variation of this question would be asked — it was really just a question of when, and if it would come before the inevitable query about all that nudity. Seven minutes into the Cannes Film Festival press conference for The Substance, writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s extraordinary, extremely gory body-horror movie, a journalist asked the film’s star to talk about getting iced out of Hollywood for being a woman over the age of 40. The fact that the movie...

What are the defining traits of a character actor? Why is a shapeshifting virtuoso like Daniel Day-Lewis considered a full-blown movie star, while a chameleon-like genius like Giancarlo Esposito is routinely relegated to supporting player status? As previously discussed here at /Film, there are multiple factors at play: box office, deeply ingrained cultural notions of physical attractiveness, distinctive utility, and the Borgnine Paradox.

It should come as no surprise that my solo endeavor to arrive at a solid-ish definition of "character actor" is not the first in the history of the written word. There have been many, many attempts by whole groups of esteemed journalists to get at some kind of reasonable understanding of this term/concept, and, having read more than a few of them, I can assure you that there is no hard-fast rule. You could call just about everyone outside of Britney Spears a character actor --...

Have you ever dreamed about being a better version of yourself? With her second film, Coralie Fargeat not only addresses this question but takes aim at ageism and sexism in the entertainment industry with a riotous, dreamlike horror-thriller that ends in a delirious symphony of blood, guts and otherwise undefinable viscera. Imagine David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive fused in a telepod with David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, add the unbelievably dynamic pairing of Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, process it through the ultra-vivid color palette that is Fargeat’s hyper-saturated imagination, sprinkle a bit of J.G. Ballard on top, and you have the perfect breakout genre movie of the year.

If you had “Demi Moore to make a hagsploitation body horror splatter movie” on your 2024 bingo card, you stand to make a fortune, but, come on, it’s not very likely; there’s been nothing in her filmography so far...

Zmuda was known to switch off with Kaufman in portraying Clifton, a foul-mouthed lounge singer out of Las Vegas,...

Two and a half years ago, Sony Pictures came out the winner in a bidding war over the film rights to author Riley Sager’s novel Home Before Dark (pick up a copy Here) – which hadn’t even been published yet at the time. Now the project is finally moving forward, as The Hollywood Reporter breaks the news that Creep and There’s Someone Inside Your House director Patrick Brice has signed on to direct the film, working from a screenplay by The Invitation‘s Blair Butler.

Shawn Levy’s production company 21 Laps Entertainment, one of the companies behind the Netflix series Stranger Things, is producing Home Before Dark, with SVP Emily Morris and creative executive Emily Feher overseeing the project. Since the adaptation is said to be in the “early development” phase, Sony isn’t sharing details on the plot… but since it’s based on Sager’s novel,...

Laurie has officially dethroned Nate Jacobs as the most formidable villain on "Euphoria." We meet the high-school teacher turned drug dealer in the HBO show's season two premiere, when Fez does business with her following Mouse's murder. Laurie reveals new layers every time she appears on screen: she became addicted to oxycontin in college after getting injured as an athlete, she fronts Rue $10,000 worth of drugs to sell, and, as we learn in episode three, she's involved in some sort of sex-trafficking ring that she threatens to rope Rue into.

"If you screw me, I'll have you kidnapped and sold to some real sick people. I always find a way to make my money back," she tells Rue in a calm, monotone, nightmare-fueling voice. You definitely don't want to cross her.

Exclusive: Creep franchise filmmaker and HBO Room 104 director Patrick Brice has boarded The Wild at HBO Max and Warner Max, a project he’ll direct and adapt from the Owen Laukkanen young female suspense novel.

The Wild, from Underlined Paperbacks, centers around Dawn. She’s not a bad person – she’s just made some bad choices: wrong guy, wrong friends, wrong everything. But she wasn’t expecting her parents to pay a boatload of money to ship her off to ‘Out of the Wild’, a wilderness boot camp with a bunch of other messed up kids to learn important “life lessons.” Dawn and the other cubs wind up learning a lot, but not what they expect, for what happens in the woods isn’t what their parents planned. Sometimes plans go very wrong. And this is one of those times. Suddenly Dawn is more scared than she’s ever been in her life.

Take a look at new images of actress Demi Moore ("Corporate Animals") in the October 2019 issue of "Harper's Bazaar (Us) magazine, wearing a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, plus wardrobe from Armani Prive, Chanel and Valentino Haute Couture, photographed by Mariano Vivanco:

"When you feel sexy or sensuous, you naturally want to open up and give," said Moore, "and I think that comes from being able to receive love and desire.

"Then there's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

"But I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

"I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice'.

As Demi Moore gears up for the Sept. 24 release of her autobiography “Inside Out,” the actress says she feels like a weight has been lifted.

“Even the stuff that I may have been nervous about is completely lifting…because it’s a process,” Moore told Variety at the premiere of her upcoming film “Corporate Animals” at Neuehouse on Wednesday night. In the memoir, written for HarperCollins, Moore reportedly addresses everything from her “tumultuous relationship” with her mother to her three marriages — to Freddy Moore, Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher.

“There is a part of this that is like giving birth and I’m like ‘It’s done. So, whatever it’ll be.’ I’m just excited and open for the journey,” she said.

But in her latest film, “Coporate Animals,” Moore goes on a different kind of journey, playing arrogant Incredible Edibles CEO Lucy. When her team heads off on a corporate team building retreat,...

Demi Moore has booked a recurring role in Brave New World, the upcoming USA Network drama series from Ucp and Amblin Television based on the Aldous Huxley’s groundbreaking 1932 novel.

Written by David Wiener, Grant Morrison and Brian Taylor, Brave New World imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family and history itself. Alden Eisenreich, Harry Lloyd and Jessica Brown Findlay also star.

Moore will play Linda, the brash, hard-living mother of John the Savage (Ehrenreich).

Demi Moore is the latest name to jump aboard Ucp’s “Brave New World” series.

The actress will play the recurring character of Linda, the brash, hard-living mother of Alden Ehrenreich’s character, John.

The series, based on the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name, imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.

As citizens of New London, Bernard Marx (Harry Lloyd) and Lenina Crowne (Jessica Brown Findlay) have only ever known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma, and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex. Curious to explore life beyond the strictures of their society, the two New Worlders embark on a vacation to the Savage Lands, where they become embroiled in a harrowing and violent rebellion.

Two modern day acting power houses go toe-to-toe in the dark and mysterious new drama After the Wedding. Sony Pictures Classics has released the first trailer, which stars Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore.

In After the Wedding, Isabel (Michelle Williams) has dedicated her life to working with the children in an orphanage in Calcutta. Theresa (Moore) is the multimillionaire head of a media company who lives with her artist husband (Crudup) and their twin boys in New York. When word comes to Isabel of a mysterious and generous grant for the financially struggling orphanage, she must travel to New York to meet the benefactor-Theresa-in person.

After the Wedding arrives in theaters as a late summer drama for anyone feeling the brunt of blockbuster fatigue. It opens August 9, going up against The Art of Racing in the Rain, Brian Banks, Dora and the Lost City of Gold and the mob drama The Kitchen.

Cult British comedy Peep Show is getting another chance at a U.S. adaptation with a script in development at FX. The series, which ran for nine seasons on Channel 4, is getting a gender role reversal with the two leads – played by David Mitchell and Robert Webb in the UK original – set to be played by women.

Portlandia and Superstore writer and co-exec producer Karey Dornetto is writing the adaptation.

It is the latest attempt after Starz attempted a remake in 2016, while Fox took a run at a pilot, starring The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki, in 2005 and Spike gave it a chance in 2008.

Sam Bain, who created the series with Jesse Armstrong (Succession), revealed the development in a self-penned article in The Guardian about diversity. “People sometimes ask if I look at my earlier work differently now – whether my shows would have been better if they had been more diverse.

Sundance London 2019 will include Park City hits including Late Night and The Farewell, both of which will get their European premieres at the mini-festival which runs May 30 – June 02 at Picturehouse Central.

The London event will present 12 features from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, selected for London by the Sundance Institute programming team in collaboration with exhibitor-distributor Picturehouse. The festival will open with the European premiere of Nisha Ganatra’s Late Night, written by and starring Mindy Kaling alongside Emma Thompson, and it closes four days later with the UK premiere of Penny Lane’s Hail Satan?

Also screening will be The Nightingale, Animals, After The Wedding, The Death Of Dick Long, The Last Tree, Corporate Animals, Hail Satan?, The Brink, Ask Dr. Ruth and Apollo 11.

There will also be a surprise screening, Q & As and panels (lineup tbc), and three older Sundance movies: Precious, Animal Kingdom and 52 Tuesdays.

Exclusive: Patrick Brice, the director behind Creep, The Overnight, and the Demi Moore-starrer Corporate Animals, has been tapped to direct Netflix’s There’s Someone Inside Your House, a film based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Stephanie Perkins. Shazam! screenwriter Henry Gayden penned the adaptation, which is being produced by Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and James Wan’s Atomic Monster.

The panel covered everything from hair braiding and beatboxing to Michelle Obama - a former guest on the podcast - whom Jessica said "was very hydrated. Her skin was like mmmmmmm. Like when you bite into candied yams and you're like, 'These are amazing.'"
