The fine folks of Netflix can be sneaky little devils sometimes. Case in point: even though it wasn't announced with their regular slate of releases, Venom: The Last Dance made its bow on the streamer on February 25th. They decided to really up their stealth release game with a dozen more titles on Saturday. That's in addition to the 12 already on the slate.

This turned what was already a strong debut slate into an outstanding group. You'll find iconic comedies with some of the most popular stars of Hollywood, a trio of classic romances, and some knife-edge thrillers. There's drama and action, too.

There's also a pair of underrated horror flicks ready for your screen. Best of all is the addition of the finest films from one the most influential directors of the past 40 years. Like all art forms, film is subjective. But rest assured, I'm not talking about Uwe Boll...

Grief comes in many forms; sometimes, it can drive survivors apart instead of bringing them together. In Michael Shannon‘s directorial debut, Eric Larue, Judy Greer, and Alexander Skarsgård experience firsthand the damage loss can inflict on two people struggling to survive an overwhelming tragedy. Today, Magnolia Pictures debuted a trailer and poster for Eric Larue, highlighting the cast’s sturring performances and Shannon’s talent behind the camera.

It was written by Brett Neveu and based on his 2002 play, which used the same name. Eric Larue follows two parents who, in the aftermath of a shocking crime at the hands of their son, seek solace in rival religious congregations. The film world premiered at the Tribeca Festival and also stars Alexander Skarsgård, Alison Pill, Tracy Letts, Paul Sparks, and Annie Parisse. Magnolia has North American rights and will release the film in theaters on April 4. Eric Larue also comes...

Filming is underway on My Secret Santa, a brand-new live-action romantic comedy that will likely be part of Netflix’s 2025 Christmas lineup. To celebrate, Netflix has announced four new cast members.

The news of the four new cast members comes just a week after we reported that Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge had joined the cast and would be filming ahead of Virgin River season 7, starting its shoot in Canada a few weeks later and filming officially kicked off on the movie in Kamloops, BC, on February 3rd, with a scheduled wrap for February 27th.

Mel Gibson may be best known as Braveheart, or the filmmaker behind The Passion of the Christ, but there was a time in which he did a romantic comedy alongside Helen Hunt called What Women Want, directed by romcom genius Nancy Meyers. The film will be hitting a new streamer, Paramount+, on February 1. The movie consists of Gibson, a womanizer by all stereotypes, being electrocuted in an accident, and rather than dying, he now has an odd ability… to hear the thoughts of women, and only women. The 2000 film, sporting an identical Critic's and Audience Score of 54% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Other cast members joining Hunt and Gibson include Marisa Tomei, Judy Greer, and Sarah Paulson.

Mel Gibson is a name that sparks both admiration and debate. The renowned actor and filmmaker, is no stranger to the spotlight, whether it’s for his stellar performances or his controversial takes. Known for speaking his mind, Gibson had graced The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with an unforgettable appearance.

This episode was a rollercoaster of entertainment, insight, and a touch of chaos, as Gibson did not hold back on sharing his own perspectives. If you’ve missed him on Rogan’s podcast, here are five must-watch moments that show the unfiltered and brutally honest side of Mel Gibson.

One of the most talked-about moments from Gibson’s time on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast was when he revealed a controversial approach to treating terminal cancer. He shared the story of three friends diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer,...

Actor Mel Gibson revealed that he recently lost his home to the Los Angeles wildfires. Notably, this occurred while the star made an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. The actor also shared that something had miraculously survived the fire.

Gibson is known for his work as an actor and filmmaker. He is known for his roles in the Mad Max and the Lethal Weapon series.

Gibson is also known for starring in, as well as producing and directing, Braveheart. Other notable films he’s appeared in include The Patriot, What Women Want, We Were Soldiers, Signs, and Disney’s Pocahontas. He also notably produced and directed The Passion of the Christ.

According to The U.S. Sun, the star recently shared that he lost his home to the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Mel Gibson is the Oscar-winning actor and director who has had his fair share of highs and lows, due in large part to several self-inflicted scandals. Let’s look back at 12 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1956, Gibson and his family moved from New York to Australia, where he first came to prominence as an actor thanks to George Miller‘s original “Mad Max” trilogy, plus leading roles in Peter Weir‘s “Gallipoli” and “The Year of Living Dangerously.” He had equal success in the US, starring in everything from action films (the “Lethal Weapon” franchise) to romantic comedies (“What Women Want”).

He first hit the Oscar jackpot with the 1995 historical epic “Braveheart,” in which he also starred as Scottish warrior William Wallace. That film brought his wins in Best Picture and Best Director. He had similar directorial success with the controversial box-office bonanza “The Passion of the Christ...

Mel Gibson’s career has been a rollercoaster ride of successes and failures punctuated by some unpopular opinions and controversial moments. However, back in 1996 Gibson was still banging out some of his best work. This includes the action thriller Ransom, which has scored a huge resurgence on Tubi since arriving on the free streaming platform recently.

The film stars Gibson as Tom Mullen, a wealthy airline owner whose life is upended when his son, Sean, is kidnapped. Director Ron Howard delivers a blistering fast-paced race against time, which comes with several twist endings and strong performances from Gibson, Rene Russo, and Gary Sinise. Almost thirty years on, the film’s arrival on Tubi has underscored the constant demand for action movies, both old and new, on streaming platforms, and how very few pass by without a stop on a Top 10 chart somewhere.

Ransom was a box office hit in 1996, landing...

For 11 seasons on ABC’s beloved sitcom Modern Family, fans knew and loved actress Julie Bowen as the character Claire Dunphy. But on a recent episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast Dinner’s on Me, Judy Greer revealed that she actually turned down an audition for the role of Claire.

“I was like, ‘I think I’m not going to audition for it.’ I was really torn about it, but I ended up obviously not,” Greer told Ferguson, who played Claire’s younger brother Mitchell Pritchett on Modern Family.

Sonakshi Sinha is one of the most famous actresses in the Bollywood industry. She debuted in 2010, starring opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg, now one of Khan’s most iconic roles. The film introduced Sinha to the audience and made her one of the most discussed names in the industry, with Rajjo becoming an overnight sensation.

Since then, she has starred in numerous hit movies like Holiday, Mission Mangal, R… Rajkumar, and more. She has also starred in two more films of the Dabanng series, where it all began. While the movie set the foundation for her Bollywood career, the journey to landing the role was unconventional.

Exclusive: Remember when geeky tween Jenna Rink was magically transformed into glamorous Jennifer Garner in the classic rom-com 13 Going on 30? That was two decades ago. Now that role’s being played by West End star Lucie Jones in a stage musical adapted from the beloved 2004 movie.

The show is headed for an out-of-town-tryout at the Manchester Opera House, where it will run for a limited season from September 21, 2025.

Just this past April, Garner joined fellow stars from the film — Mark Ruffalo, who played Matt Flamhaff, the boy next door who Jenna doesn’t realize holds a candle for her, and Judy Greer as Lucy Wyman, once her childhood nemesis and now an editing colleague at the fictional Poise magazine — for a 20th anniversary reunion on Zoom that spread far and wide on social media.

Luca Guadagnino and Lionsgate announced that the “Call Me by Your Name” and “Queer” director is in final discussions to film a new version of Bret Eason Ellis’ dark horror novel “American Psycho,” nearly 25 years after the same company released Mary Harron’s satirical adaptation. In a key role that elevated his career, the 2000 film starred Christian Bale as yuppie investment banker-turned-serial killer Patrick Bateman.

It’s the kind of announcement destined to raise eyebrows. Guadagnino is in a career sweet spot after “Challengers” and “Queer” this year (and “After the Hunt” in post); he already has many projects in the works, including “Separate Rooms” with Josh O’Connor and a Thomas Mann adaptation in early development. So why is he choosing a remake — and for a film that doesn’t seem that long ago?

New versions of older films are not unusual. Even the word “remake” is tricky here — does that apply with adaptations?...

For a few years in the '90s, it seemed like Helen Hunt was destined to be a mainstay on the big and small screen alike forever. The actor landed her earliest movie role in 1977, playing a teenager in the disaster movie "Rollercoaster," which featured a singularly weird plot about a man trying to bomb an amusement park ride. Hunt continued to act over the next decade, taking roles in films like "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and "Peggy Sue Got Married," plus the popular doctor drama "St. Elsewhere." But it wasn't until the '90s, when Hunt earned a trifecta of great, memorable roles, that she truly became a household name.

Hunt's big break came from "Mad About You," a 1992 sitcom in which she played one half of a New York City newlywed couple opposite Paul Reiser. Plotlines for the show mined married life for humor, but they...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II.

Almost all the major voice actors from The Last of Us video games have roles in HBOs TV adaptation, with some of them even reprising their original characters from the games. Video game adaptations have been notoriously disappointing because they usually have no respect for the source material. But HBOs The Last of Us is an exception because the creator of the franchise himself, Neil Druckmann, is one of the showrunners. This has meant that the TV series is passionately faithful to the games its adapting in more ways than just sticking to the story.

In casting the TV show, Druckmann brought over most of the main voice actors from the video games. Since the voice actors behind the lead roles of Joel and Ellie arent the right age to play them in live-action, those parts were recast...

In 2009, the film-maker Nancy Meyers was in an editing suite at Sony Pictures, fine-tuning the details of her next movie, It’s Complicated. That morning, her focus was the back garden of Jane, a successful Santa Barbara baker played by Meryl Streep. The garden included an extensive lawn, a swing-seat and a French-style potager garden, where Jane could wander about gathering ripe tomatoes in a fetching wicker basket. Meyers had already instructed an editor to erase dead trees and add a water feature, and now she was engaged in the process of smoothing out the yard’s remaining foliage. “Every plant that is spiky is removed from this movie,” was her instruction. “Keep it all soft.”

Exclusive: Paramount Pictures has tapped Scotty Landes (The Machine) to script Thicc, a new comedy based on Matthew Schneier’s 2019 New York Magazine article, “At the Russian Baths With the Big Boys of Brawn.”

The film follows an offensive lineman who, after seeing a career-ending injury cut his professional football dreams short, finds unexpected fame and fortune in the world of brawny male modeling. Todd Garner will produce via Broken Road Productions alongside Scoop Wasserstein via New York Magazine/Vox Media Studios.

Schneier’s article explores the rise and success of Img Models’ Brawn division, which focuses on plus-size male models, a groundbreaking initiative in an industry traditionally dominated by slimmer figures. Zach Miko, the division’s first recruit, highlights his journey from being mistaken for an electrician to becoming a sought-after model earning six figures. Despite initial skepticism, the division has flourished, reflecting a broader societal shift towards body positivity and inclusivity.

Twister, a 1996 disaster film, follows two storm chasers tracking violent tornadoes; it became a cult classic. Twisters, the upcoming sequel, releases on July 19, featuring a new cast and bigger, more threatening tornadoes. The classic film's iconic cast includes Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Cary Elwes, Jami Gertz, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Lois Smith.

The 1996 disaster film Twister featured an iconic leading cast. The action movie follows the story of two almost-divorced storm chasers who are attempting to track down extremely violent tornadoes. Though it has a somewhat goofy and over-the-top premise, Twister has remained one of the 90s classic action movies to this day.

Twister became such a cult classic that it inspired the upcoming sequel film Twisters. Set for release on July 19, Twisters ups the stakes of the original Twister film by adding tornadoes that are bigger and more threatening than ever. Twisters features a leading cast including Daisy Edgar-Jones,...

Back in 2019, Rebel Wilson starred in a meta romantic comedy called Isn’t It Romantic, which was released by Warner Bros. / New Line Cinema in the United States and Canada and received a Netflix streaming release throughout the rest of the world. Now Deadline reports that Isn’t It Romantic is getting an unexpected sort of follow-up – one that will dive into horror territory! This follow-up is called Isn’t It Scary.

New Line Cinema has hired April Prosser, who earned her first writing credit with the Netflix romantic comedy Look Both Ways, to write the screenplay for Isn’t It Scary. Look Both Ways had the following synopsis: On the eve of her college graduation, Natalie’s life diverges into parallel realities: one in which she becomes pregnant and remains in her hometown to raise her child and another in which she moves to LA to pursue her dream career.

Isn’t It Romantic...

Exclusive: New Line Cinema is in early development on Isn’t It Scary, a follow-up to its rom-com Isn’t It Romantic starring Rebel Wilson, multiple sources tell Deadline.

April Prosser (Look Both Ways) has been tapped to pen the script. We’re told Todd Garner will produce for Broken Road Productions, alongside frequent collaborators Gina Mathews and Grant Scharbo of Little Engine Entertainment, though these deals haven’t yet closed, as it’s early days here. No other talent attachments have been formalized at this time.

Playfully subverting and satirizing the conventions of the rom-com genre, Isn’t It Romantic grossed over $48 million worldwide upon its release via Warner Bros in 2019. Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson, the film centers on Natalie (Wilson), an Australian architect living in New York City who is cynical about love and romance. The story takes a fantastical turn when Natalie, after a bump on the head,...

Exclusive: Paramount Pictures has launched development on What Kids Want, a new feature scripted by the Like a Boss duo of Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly, sources tell Deadline.

The film follows up the high concept comedies What Women Want (2000), starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, and What Men Want (2019), starring Taraji P. Henson and Tracy Morgan, both of which were distributed by Paramount. While the former centered on a man suddenly gifted (or cursed?) with the ability to hear the thoughts of women, the latter reversed the equation. The new film will, of course, involve a look into the minds of children.

Todd Garner will produce for Broken Road Productions, alongside Gina Mathews and Grant Scharbo for Little Engine Entertainmemt. Matthews comes to the project after producing What Women Want, along with such rom-coms as 13 Going on 30, All My Life (alongside Garner) and Isn’t It Romantic?...

Acclaimed Chinese film director Chen Daming is expected to direct “The Peking Express,” a book-to-film adaptation of the story of an infamous train robbery that took place 100 years ago.

It describes the raid on a luxury express train by Chinese bandits in Shandong Province in 1923 and the ensuing six-week hostage standoff that captivated the world. So extraordinary are the events recounted in The Peking Express that it reads like fantasy…yielding a captivating story of robbery, murder, hostages and intrigue…,” said the paper in a review of the book.

Richard recently posted a cryptic message that has fans wondering if he may be dying. What did Richard say to make fans believe this?

Richard Simmons Wasn’t Always A Recluse

General Hospital Spoilers before Richard became a recluse, he was in several television shows and worked with a lot of stars. Richard made several appearances on variety shows back in his heyday.

In 1980, Richard was on General Hospital for the start of Luke and Laura’s controversial romance and subsequent marriage.

Simmon was also on General Hospital in 2013 when he threatened to kill Lucy Coe. Simmons was on Arrested Development and All My Children. Simmon was in Evening Shade with Marilu Henner and Burt Reynolds.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to return to the holiday genre with Amazon MGM Studios’ The Man With the Bag.

Adam Shankman is directing the family Christmas comedy that will see Schwarzenegger star alongside Alan Ritchson, whose involvement was previously announced. Allan Rice wrote the script for the movie that counts Ritchson, Lawrence Grey, Ben Everard, Reg Tigerman and Dan Spilo as producers.

The Man With the Bag centers on Santa Claus learning that his magic bag has been swiped, leading Old St. Nick to team up with Vance, a reformed thief and denizen of the naughty list, to get it back. The duo also enlist Vance’s daughter and a team of misfit elves to help them save Christmas.

Schwarzenegger, who captivated Oscar viewers over the weekend by reuniting with Twins cohort Danny DeVito, stars on the Netflix action-comedy series Fubar, which is set to return for its second season.

See if you can guess who recently said these words: “We went in over budget. It was a challenging project in that way. It’s like there could have never been enough money for the project. We didn’t have endless funds from a studio. This was a very independent project that I was self-financing.”

Did you guess global powerhouse multi-hyphenate Jennifer Lopez? She’s just the latest female creative to lament the state of Hollywood and its lack of funding for female creatives. Maybe it really is as bleak as they say.

While Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” made a billion dollars at the box office and shattered the record for both the highest-grossing film ever to be released by Warner Bros. and ever directed by a woman, studios are still gun-shy at providing funding for female-fronted projects. Why? Well, it’s all about the fallacy of what sells — doll be damned.

Gender-swapping characters can lead to improved versions of the original, attracting more viewers. Despite negative reviews for the overall movie or TV show, gender-swapped characters can still be great and bring interesting changes to their stories. Gender-swapping characters can break gender and racial barriers, refreshing traditional character dynamics and stereotypes.

Various movie and TV characters have gone through a gender-swap recast, and some ended up improving upon the original version. Gender-swapping characters isn't a recent thing in the world of entertainment, but there have been a lot more examples in recent years and more attention has been given to these characters. There's no rule to follow when gender-swapping characters, but it seems to attract the attention of more viewers when it's a typically male character recast as a woman.

Rom-coms were once a dominant genre at the box office, but they have struggled in recent years. Streaming and the Covid-19 pandemic have played a role in their decline. The success of rom-coms like "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Ticket To Paradise" with star power indicates that the genre can still find an audience, but specific angles and hooks are necessary to attract viewers. The rom-com genre needs to evolve and keep up with changing attitudes towards relationships and marriage in order to resonate with today's audience. Laughter and love will never go away, but the genre must adapt to stay relevant.

Once upon a time, romantic comedies were a safe bet at the box office. They usually featured two big stars in the lead who found themselves in wacky circumstances on the way to true love before the credits rolled. Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, and Hugh Grant, among others, once dominated this sub-genre of film.

Romantic comedies are popular because they provide an enjoyable escape from reality. The success of romantic comedies at the box office depends on various factors like marketing, star power, and source material. The highest-grossing romantic comedy films of all time include "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Sex & The City: The Movie," "Runaway Bride," "What Women Want," "Pretty Woman," "The Proposal," "Hitch," "Crazy Rich Asians," "Knocked Up," and "There's Something About Mary."

Romantic comedy movies are (mostly) universally loved, given that they are feel-good watches that are the perfect escape from reality, especially because they are oftentimes quite unrealistic. Whether the films do well at the box office can be hit or miss, depending on multiple factors, like marketing, star power, source material, the director, and so on. In particular, these ten romantic comedies saw massive success during their theatrical runs.

Nancy Meyers has written a love letter to Cary Grant by recommending his screwball comedies and classics like North by Northwest and The Philadelphia Story as part of the December 2023 Turner Classic Movies lineup in her own TCM Picks video.

“He’s a brilliant prototype for a leading man in a romantic comedy certainly. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think of him sometimes as I’m writing. You can picture him doing it and it makes you better,” Meyers, whose rom-com canon includes box office performers like Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday and What Women Want, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Her TCM movie picks follow Meyers insisting she has viewed most Cary Grant movies dozens of times, not least to study the iconic star’s slapstick humor and verbal sparring with leading ladies to see beneath his debonair looks and onscreen charisma, to the...

The premise of Nancy Meyers' 2006 romance "The Holiday" is rather high concept. Iris (Kate Winslet), a reporter in England, has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend. Amanda (Cameron Diaz), a Los Angeles native and showbiz impresario, has just done the same. By chance, the two heartbroken women discover a want-ad in the newspaper wherein they would swap homes for the holidays and live in each other's respective towns. Amanda, while in England, finds some unexpected romantic company with Iris' visiting brother Graham (Jude Law). The two decide to have a fling, but end up seeing each other more and more. Iris, meanwhile, settling in L.A., finds herself drifting closer and closer toward a friend of her ex, a charming and funny dude named Miles (Jack Black). The film also features Rufus Sewell, Shannyn Sossamon, Kathryn Hahn, and John Krasinski. Lindsay Lohan makes a cameo.

Netflix's romance-drama series Sweet Magnolias continues its story with a third installment, and the Sweet Magnolias season 3 cast sees most of the original roster returning to reprise their roles. Based on Sherryl Woods' Sweet Magnolias book series, the TV adaptation follows three best friends — Maddie Townsend, Dana Sue Sullivan, and Helen Decatur — as they live and work in the fictional town of Serenity, South Carolina. Each woman is in a very different place in their life when the series begins, and Sweet Magnolias covers their respective romances, breakups, and career moves while keeping their bond of friendship at its center.

In terms of drama and romance, Sweet Magnolias doesn't disappoint. The Sweet Magnolias season 3 cast will be dealing with the twisty aftermath of the season 2 finale, and no character finds themselves in a wholly stable place at the start of the next chapter. The Sweet Magnolias season 3 cast is...
