Nate Bargatze is looking to the future and plans on transitioning from stand-up comedy to movies.

In a new interview, the comedian opened up about the timeline of his career and his future beyond stand-up comedy.

“I don’t plan on touring and doing stand-up forever. I want to make movies,” he said in an interview with The New York Times. “People can think, If you get too big, are you going to change?

Blackpink is one of the most popular girl bands in South Korea. While the team has been gearing up for their upcoming world tour, a wave of past controversies and resurfaced old videos left disappointed fans. Several netizens are now demanding an apology from the girl group.

The account leaked their music video, Don’t Know What To Do, and even dropped their past trainee videos, threatening them to leak some more private data to ruin them. BLINKs (the fandom) asked Yg Entertainment to take accountability for this chaos.

Margaret Qualley has risen steadily since her breakout role in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and starred in this year’s viral horror film The Substance. Co-starring with Demi Moore, Qualley played the younger double of an aging superstar who tries to rescue her career from ending due to Hollywood’s obsession with youth.

The body horror film gained many accolades this year, including the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and has been nominated for several Golden Globes. Qualley, who stars opposite Moore, mentioned that the character took her to some dark places and she had to take it easy on herself to not lose her sanity.

For Outlander fans who have long longed for a Lord John Grey spinoff, David Berry, who plays the character in the original Starz series, has some insight to share.

As a refresher, the hit Outlander series, which will conclude its run with the upcoming eighth season, is based on the best-selling novels by Diana Gabaldon. She also authored a Lord John Grey series consisting of three novels and six novellas, which Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch has shown interest in expanding into a TV series of its own. There have been no major developments on that front yet.

Berry opened up about what transpired behind the scenes in a chat with Deadline earlier today while promoting the mothership series’ upcoming Season 7 Part 2 premiere on November 22 via Starz.

“I haven’t spoken about this. But I think that since the series is over, I feel a bit more comfortable talking about it,...

The hunt is on when NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 4 makes its way to the broadcast spectrum. At least we finally have something to focus on other than Gibbs.

Not that the character hasn’t led an exciting series. However, it seems like everyone has Gibbs on the brain lately. The man needs time and space to strategize, but we’ll get to that.

NCIS: Origins is finally getting grounded with some intense cases. If there is one thing that brings a team together under one goal, it’s finding a missing child.

Nothing gets adults moving faster than the thought of a small, innocent child snatched away from their parents. Maybe the team can finally function as a unit instead of one voice after another talking over each other.

Many viewers have commented that the team on NCIS: Origins lacks the same group effort that the sister series all have.

If it were up to Chad Stahelski, he admits he'd make the long-confirmed John Wick 5 "tomorrow." However, the John Wick franchise director's latest progress update suggests he'll only make it if he gets a story that makes sense.

Speaking with Business Insider to mark the 10th anniversary of John Wick, Stahelski was asked about John Wick 5 and where things were with the next installment of the neo-noir action film series. While Stahelski insists he's willing to return for another sequel, he wants a proper story that doesn't cheat the fans and does the franchise justice. "If we felt we weren't ripping the fans off and had more to give, I'd do it tomorrow. I just don't have that right now. The other stuff I'm working on are great properties, and I'm excited, but nothing is going to beat this."

Paul Feig has directed some of the most beloved comedies of the last decade, including “Bridesmaids,” “Spy,” several classic episodes of “The Office” and more. So take it from the filmmaker when he explains there’s one key to creating comedy in “the best way” — finding the perfect pair.

It’s something he’s proven skillful at, even when the project falls under a different genre. He brought together Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy on the buddy cop comedy “The Heat,” Henry Golding and Emilia Clarke in the weepy rom-com “Last Christmas,” Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick for the genre-defying “A Simple Favor” — and its impending sequel — and now his new film “Jackpot!” pairs up John Cena and Awkwafina.

Now streaming on Prime Video, “Jackpot!” tells the story of Katie Kim (Awkwafina), an aspiring actress who unwittingly enters the lottery in LA. When she wins, she literally has to run for her life because,...

On the surface, the “Despicable Me” cartoons appear to be sendups of the James Bond franchise, but beneath that slick, spoofy exterior, they’re really marshmallow-centered affirmations of good old-fashioned family values. In the original, reformed super-villain Gru (Steve Carell) agrees to reprioritize his life around his three newly adopted daughters. Then, in the sequel, Gru met soul mate Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) and got hitched. And now, in what might have been titled “Predictable Me 3,” Gru discovers his long-lost twin brother, Dru, giving the superficially surly character even more reasons for group hugs.

The fact that Gru has lost his job with the Anti-Villain League and that Dru desperately wants to get into the villainy racket is mostly just incidental in a series that’s starting to feel less like 007 and more like “The Brady Bunch” with every outing. And lest you assume that “Despicable Me 3” somehow...
