The first three episodes of Owen Wilson’s new Apple TV+ comedy are set to debut on the platform this Wednesday, and everyone is curious to see just how Stick will stack up to the other projects in Wilson’s filmography. Stick follows an ex-golfer who finds new hope in coaching a troubled teen towards success. After he’s fired from his job and his wife leaves him, he stakes his future on his ability to coach his prodigy to success. The review embargo for Stick lifted on Friday, and although the show is drawing comparisons to Ted Lasso, that didn’t help it earn a good score. Stick debuted with a “rotten” 40% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing. This comes from only five reviews, so it is subject to change.

In addition to Owen Wilson, Stick also stars Judy Greer and Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Greer...

We’re still more than six months away from the release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, but the already-confirmed third season of the hit Disney+ series just took a huge step forward. Fans were waiting on pins and needles throughout the first season of Percy Jackson for news of a renewal, and it didn’t take Disney long after the Season 1 finale to announce that Percy Jackson had been renewed for Season 2. It was then announced back in March that Percy Jackson had already been renewed for Season 3 to cut down on the wait between seasons.

ScreenRant recently caught up with stars Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, and Leah Jeffries at Disney Upfront, and when asked if the rumors of Season 3 beginning production this July were true, Simhadri confirmed, “We go up in July for bootcamp.” Scobell also confirmed the news and mentioned that Season 3 will be “probably my...

One of the stars from Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 has confirmed their status in in Season 2. The first season of Percy Jackson took the world by storm and was hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the most faithful book adaptations ever. The show earned strong scores of 91% from critics and 79% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but it wasn’t until shortly after the Season 1 finale that it was renewed for Seasons 2 and 3. Jay Duplass, who plays Hades in Percy Jackson Season 1, Episode 7 “We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of,” recently caught up with People Magazine to talk about his new show Dying For Sex, and he confirmed he will not be in Season 2, but he didn’t rule out a return in the future:

"I am not in Season 2. But, there have been some potential droppings about Season 3."

Charles Melton didnt start acting professionally until 2014, opting to drop out of college and move to Los Angeles to pursue a whole new career path. The former high school athlete had been interested in acting but focused on other aspects of his life. He even took a brief detour into modeling before acting, which did land him work as a model in an episode of Glee.

His longest-running role has been playing Reggie Mantle on Riverdale for six seasons, but his acting roles in both TV and movies move beyond teen dramas as well.

Apple TV+ is taking a shot at another sports-related comedy.

The streamer behind Ted Lasso has placed a series order for a show starring Owen Wilson as a former pro golfer who needs to get his life back in order. The Loki star will also be an executive producer of the untitled series, which comes from Apple Studios and creator Jason Keller (Ford v. Ferrari).

Wilson will play Pryce Cahill, whose golf career ended prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at a sporting goods store in Indiana and his wife leaves him, Pryce sees a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom as his way back.

The series seems to echo Ted Lasso in its sports-world setting and the possibility of a redemption arc for its main character. It will join a comedy roster at Apple TV+ that also includes Shrinking, Platonic, Loot and the upcoming Palm Royale.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2's writing process is currently underway.

Following news of the Disney+ show's renewal, executive producer Rick Riordan provided an update via Threads on how Percy Jackson's writers' room is doing on adapting his second book, The Sea of Monsters, to a TV format. "The season two script work is 'full steam ahead' and I love it. The only problem is I want to watch these episodes Now. But I imagine some of you feel the same way," he wrote. Riordan also included a black and white photo of a Civil War-era ship, a nod to a major plot development in The Sea of Monsters' storyline.

A24 is planning to give Civil War, the latest film from Alex Garland, the director of Ex Machina, Annihilation, Devs, and Men, a theatrical release on April 12th – but before that movie makes its way out into the world, A24 and Garland are already moving forward with another, currently untitled war movie.

As of right now, the other project is simply known as Untitled War Movie.

This Untitled War Movie is a collaboration between Garland and Ray Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor for Civil War. Garland and Mendoza have written the screenplay together and will be co-directing the film.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians lead actor Walker Scobell downplays speculation he will make a cameo as Kidpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's next big-screen offering, Deadpool 3.

Speaking with ComicBookMovie.com's Josh Wilding at the global press conference for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Scobell was asked about reports he would appear in the Deadpool threequel alongside Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and, potentially, Owen Wilson. Despite "hoping to reunite" with Reynolds and Wilson at some point, Scobell wouldn't confirm a possible Deadpool 3 feature. "Not that I know of, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons from them that I used while filming Percy Jackson. And, um, yeah, I'm not sure—I'm hoping to reunite someday, but I don't know," he said.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb) Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review: What’s It About:

Once upon a time, when the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movie adaptations began conquering pop culture, the movie studios looked at the success of both franchises and decided that they needed to do more of those. The result was a wave of fantasy book adaptations, which included Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the story of a young kid who discovers that he is the son of an ancient Greek and that his nature...

Nearly two decades after The Lightning Thief was published, Percy Jackson fans are finally getting the faithful adaptation they’ve been waiting for with the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The show has a talented and stacked cast of actors that breathe new life into these characters and help transport us to a world where Greek gods, monsters, and everything in between are very real and very dangerous.

Here are the demigods, humans, gods, monsters, and more that you need to know in the world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the actors that bring them to life.

Walker Scobell is Percy Jackson

12-year-old Percy Jackson has always felt different from other kids his age. Adhd, a penchant for daydreaming, and an unlucky streak with bullies has gotten him kicked out of a number of schools, both private and public, but regardless he’s always felt safe...

The Hollywood Radio and Television Society is honoring former Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams.

Williams will be feted with the inaugural Hrts Change Maker Award during a gala event December 14 at the Beverly Hilton, where he will join Hrts Board President, Hrts Foundation Board Member and Head of Drama Series, Amazon Studios, Odetta Watkins for an onstage conversation about his career and activism.

The event will be hosted by Matt Friend.

Williams recently appeared in Paramount’s Secret Headquarters with Owen Wilson, Netflix’s Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon, and Season 3 of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building with Meryl Streep, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez.

Williams operates multimedia company Visibility, co-founded with artist Glenn Kaino, all while connecting students to more than $100 million in scholarship money via college scholarship app Scholly, where he is both a company partner and ambassador. He is...

As of publication, Michelle Williams is understood by many as one of the most gifted actors working today. She has two Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, has been nominated for a Tony Award, and boasts a whopping five Academy Award nominations. Her breakthrough performance in "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005 earned her first Oscar nomination, and she's been one of the most highly sought-after performers ever since. But "Brokeback Mountain" was not Williams' first role, nor was she some actor plucked from obscurity and tossed into prestige cinema. For six seasons, Williams starred as Jen Lindley on "Dawson's Creek," one of the most formative teen dramas in television history.

And yet when she nabbed the role of Alma Beers del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain," the general conversation wasn't fixated on her years as a television teen star, nor were people dismissing her casting due to previous appearances in teen films...

The Season 1 budget for Percy Jackson and the Olympians has reportedly been revealed.

According to Variety, the budget for Percy Jackson Season 1 was between $12 million and $15 million per episode, putting it on par with the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian. It is worth noting that Disney declined to comment on the accuracy of these budget figures. However, based on the visuals shown in the trailers and the level of talent attached to the project, it stands to reason that Percy Jackson did cost as much as The Mandalorian, which remains one of the most-watched original series on Disney+.

Finding the perfect child actor for a feature-length film in Hollywood isn't always easy. Younger performers sometimes struggle to convey the complex breadth of emotions that many adults can realistically exhibit. That being said, some child actors stand above the rest. They have successfully captured audiences' hearts with breathtaking and surprisingly mature performances. Unfortunately, some of them are woefully underrated.

Some current younger actors, like Shahadi Wright Joseph in Lion King (2019), show extraordinary talent but aren't widely recognized despite appearing in high-profile projects. Other actors, like Anna Chlumsky in My Girl, thrived in roles as child actors, but have since become less prominent in their older years. Whether they are currently underappreciated or have all but disappeared from Hollywood's gaze, these actors deserve to be spotlighted for their uncontestable talent.

The trailer features a ton of new footage, including a closer look at Camp Half-Blood, the Greek training facility that young demigods attend to train against and stay safe from mythological creatures.

Rose Byrne jumped at the chance to voice Leatherhead in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” when producer-star Seth Rogen asked her to join the film. “It was ridiculous,” the “Physical” actor tells me. “Seth was like, ‘I want you to do just fully Aussie — just go for it!’

“I was like, ‘I’m going to do my best Eric Bana.’ This is an homage to Eric,” Byrne continues. “It was a group recording, and I’d never done that before for a voice job. Seth was there, and he had such high energy from beginning to end. There’s ‘Mayhem’ in the title, and it was like mayhem. Not in a bad way. It was fun mayhem.”

Byrne joked that her many collaborations with Rogen, which include the 2014 comedy “Neighbors” and Apple TV+’s “Platonic,” don’t have her husband, Bobby Cannavale, worried. “He’s our biggest cheerleader,” she says.

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies are developing a sequel to “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” and planning a two-season series that will serve as a “bridge” between the films. The spinoff series, titled “Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” will appear on Paramount+.

It’s a sign of how bullish the studio is feeling about “Mutant Mayhem,” an animated adventure that opens theatrically on August 2. Paramount and Nickelodeon chief Brian Robbins has made rebooting the Turtles a top priority after the live-action film franchise ran out of steam with 2016’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.”

Between starring in Marvel’s Loki and Disney’s Haunted Mansion and becoming powered up for the underrated Secret Headquarters family film, Wilson is in a good place.

Paint stars Owen Wilson as Vermont’s #1 public television painter, Carl Nargle, for Brit McAdams’ latest project, and Bob Ross fans are salivating.

Amazon Prime Video has popped off with plenty of new content for March 2023 with original shows and some great catches for films to stream. “Top Gun: Maverick” will arrive March 24, and Jordan Peele’s “Nope” before that on March 21. For those anticipating “Creed III,” the first two films starring and directed by Michael B. Jordan will become available at the beginning of March along with all of the “Rocky” films as well as “Cinderella Man” for the broader boxing buff community. A theatrical release from 2022, “The Silent Twins,” starring Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrence arrives March 7.

Friday March 3 will see “Daisy Jones & The Six” rock the world when the band’s epic limited series comes out. Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse, and more will bring Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel to life. Other shows to look forward to on the streamer are Donald Glover’s horror series...

With its list of new releases for March 2023, Amazon Prime Video might be rolling out its most impressive monthly lineup yet.

We know that sounds like something straight out of a press release but in this case, it’s actually true! Prime Video, bless it, has some excellent original titles like The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but its monthly release updates have often been less inspiring than its TV peers. That’s certainly not the case with March 2023 though.

Prime Video gets its streaming party started early by premiering the first three episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six on March 3. This series, based on a book of the same name, tells the fictional Behind the Music-esque story of an equally fictional band. Then, on March 17, Amazon’s partnership with Donald Glover bears its first fruit with the series about obsessive fandom called Swarm. Reggie Jackson documentary Reggie premieres...

March is still winter, no matter which animal you ask, which means it’s still completely acceptable to cancel all plans and curl up under a blanket in front of the TV.

For Prime users who love books and TV, March means the highly-anticipated premiere of “Daisy Jones & the Six,” based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The eponymous Daisy (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne’s band (Sam Claflin) make a mean match, starting with a hit single and leading to what seems like endless fame and glory. But where there is success there is peril, and both the band’s rise and an electric connection with Daisy threaten Billy’s marriage and everyone’s personal lives. James Ponsoldt,...

Owen Wilson appears to be channeling his inner Bob Ross in the first trailer for IFC Films’ upcoming comedy Paint.

Director Brit McAdams’ film is set for release on April 7 and stars Wilson as Carl Nargle, the beloved host of a long-running instructional painting series on Vermont public television. Trouble arises when a younger painter played by Ciara Renée is hired to attract a different demographic, exacerbating Carl’s deep-seated insecurities about his own artistic talents.

“You’re entitled to your favorite TV show — that’s what makes this country great,” a frustrated Carl begrudgingly admits in the trailer just before he is seen hurling a can of paint at a wall.

The footage also shows Wilson’s character receiving plenty of attention from female supporters, including an awkward moment involving a fondue outing with one particularly devoted fan.

Paint’s cast includes Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lusia Strus and Stephen Root.

Exclusive: New Line has set Secret Headquarters filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman to direct Undo, from Will Simmons’ 2022 Black List screenplay. The action thriller is currently in development.

Undo follows a former getaway driver who comes into possession of a watch that allows its user to go back in time, but only by one minute.

The Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians has potentially already been renewed for season 2 if its lead star is to be believed. The series, which is set to premiere on the streaming platform in early 2024, is the latest live-action adaptation to be based on the children's book series of the same name by Rick Riordan, which follows a young man named Percy Jackson who discovers that he is the son of Poseidon and is whisked off to Camp Half-Blood, a training ground for demigods. The property was originally adapted into a pair of films - 2010's Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and 2013's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - starring Logan Lerman in the title role.

GoErie (via What's On Disney Plus) recently sat down with new Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell to discuss the upcoming series. During the interview, he discussed the timeline of the series,...

Continuing the dominant cinematic trend of the 21st century, 2022 has seen a number of superhero movies come and go. Although the ever-popular MCU added another three movies to round out Phase 4, the year was perhaps more diverse in terms of superhero output than some previous periods. With DC in turmoil prior to the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran, 2022 has arguably trended away from the vast, interconnected storytelling that defined previous years, with several standalone projects coming to the fore. As such, ranking every superhero movie in 2022 from worst to best is a more difficult task than it might have been previously.

For the purposes of this list, the only titles under consideration have received a widespread international release, whether on streaming or in theaters – explaining the absence of superhero movies like Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca and Sri Ashih. Additionally, special presentations such as Werewolf By Night and The Guardians...

New Release Wall

“Bros” (Universal Pictures Home Entertainment): The comedy that carried the weight of so many competing expectations that it’s a miracle it exists at all, “Bros” is the queer zeitgeist moment that gave away a few too many gay secrets to the straight audiences who saw it, but for better or worse, those secrets were delightfully funny. Co-writer Billy Eichner stars as a gay man indifferent to love but still open to possibilities when a traditional handsome jock (Luke Macfarlane) enters the picture. It turns out both of them have been traumatized by the homophobic world around them, but they figure it out in “When Harry Met Sally…” style by the end. That’s not a spoiler; all rom-coms end that way.

Disenchanted producer Barry Josephson defends the decision to give the film an exclusive streaming release on Disney+. Disenchanted is the long-awaited sequel to the hit 2007 romantic comedy Enchanted, which achieved critical acclaim for its satirical take on Disney animated features. Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Idina Menzel will all be returning to reprise their roles for the sequel. The film will follow married couple Giselle (Adams) and Robert (Dempsey) as they decide to move from their Manhattan home to the suburbs, and a wish from an unhappy Giselle unwittingly throws both their world and Andalasia out of balance.

In an interview with Deadline, Josephson defends the decision to give Disenchanted a streaming release rather than a theatrical release. The decision is in line with other recent releases that have opted for the streaming route, but not everyone has warmed to the idea yet. However, for Josephson, with Disney...

Only Murders in the Building season 3 adds a Grey's Anatomy star to the cast. Ever since debuting on Hulu late last year, the series has been a success with both audiences and critics, thanks partially to the chemistry of its leading trio: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The mystery-comedy also benefits from an expansive supporting ensemble, which has featured big actors and some fairly inspired cameos. That continued into the Only Murders in the Building season 2 finale, which solves the case of Bunny Folger's death and then jumps a year ahead to reveal that Paul Rudd has joined the show.

Rather than playing a heightened version of himself, as other notable guests of the Hulu hit have, the Ant-Man star portrays a prickly theater actor named Ben Glenroy. He dies while performing on stage, and seems to have had a long-standing issue with his co-star, Martin's Charles-Haden Savage.

Jesse Williams has been cast in Season 3 of “Only Murders in the Building.”

Williams will recur as a documentarian with a particular interest in the case that Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) are working on.

The series follows three unlikely friends who live in the same building in New York City and bond over their love of true crime when they find themselves in the middle of a real-life murder mystery and begin recording a podcast of their own. In Season 1, they investigate the death of their neighbor Tim Kono, while Season 2 saw them investigate after finding their building’s board president Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell) murdered. Along with Williams, Gomez, Martin and Short, Season 3 also stars Paul Rudd.

Williams is best known for starring in 12 seasons of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” as Dr. Jackson Avery, with other prominent credits including “The Cabin in the Woods,...

Williams is an actor/entrepreneur and former high school teacher. He earned a Tony Award nomination in his Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of Take Me Out this year and will next be seen in Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon, as well as in his return to Broadway for the newly extended run of Take Me Out.

Exclusive: Jesse Williams is returning as director and guest star in the fifth episode of the medical drama’s upcoming 19th season, reprising his role as Dr. Jackson Avery. Airing Nov. 3 and titled “When I Get to the Border,” it will be the fourth episode of the show that Williams has directed.

Williams departed Grey’s as a series regular in spring 2021 after 12 seasons. In the May 6, 2021 Season 17 episode “Look Up Child” it was revealed Jackson was leaving Grey Sloan to move to Boston to take over the family foundation. He was followed there by his ex, April (Sarah Drew), who relocated with their daughter. Williams made a couple of more appearances in Season 17.

He, along with Drew, then returned to guest star in the Season 18 finale last May, in which they confirmed that Jackson and April have rekindled their relation by kissing in the elevator at Grey Sloan Memorial.

Exclusive: Emmy-nominated actress Mckenna Grace is starring in Dan Kay’s Spider & Jessie.

The pic also star Tony-nominated Jesse Williams, Jojo Regina, Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Forrest Goodluck (Cherry), Fernanda Andrade (Moon Knight) and Malia Baker (The Babysitter’s Club).

Grace stars as Spider and Regina as her sister, Jessie. Grace and Williams will also serve as executive producers.

The movie follows two scrappy sisters, who after discovering their mother has fatally overdosed, are terrified they’ll be separated by an overburdened foster care system. As such, they conceal the body. However, the local police chief, mom’s drug counselor, and her volatile ex-boyfriend get closer to uncovering the truth, and the girls must decide just how far they are willing to go to keep their secret buried.

Kay in addition to directing, wrote the script which he developed with Julia Keller.
