While it once seemed improbable, it looks like Coyote vs. Acme may soon be coming to a theater near you!

According to Deadline, Ketchup Entertainment is in advanced negotiations to acquire the animated/live-action hybrid feature from Warner Bros, in a deal that's estimated to be in the $50 million range. The independent distributer-financier previously rescued The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, which is currently playing in theaters.

In recent years, Ketchup has also been behind the releases of Weekend in Taipei, Goodrich, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, Memory, Ferrari, Hypnotic, and Bushwick.

The trade does note that the deal could still fall apart, but things are progressing in the right direction for now. If/when the deal is finalized, expect to see Coyote vs. Acme hit theaters sometime in 2026.

Will Forte has looked back at his Saturday Night Live spinoff MacGruber bombing at the box office. The 2010 comedy infamously debuted to harsh reviews and subsequently underperformed at financially as well.

MacGruber was based on Forte's recurring SNL sketches in which he played a MacGyver-like hero whose attempts to diffuse dangerous situations almost always failed miserably. Despite the movie being packed with SNL stars – including Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph – the project's failure was seen as a black mark on Forte's potential as a movie star.

Will Forte Reflects on MacGruber's failure

Forte candidly reflected on MacGruber's failure during a recent interview with Ted Danson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast (via Entertainment Weekly). He admitted that the project bombing was particularly hurtful since it came out only a week after SNL's triumphant season finale.

"The movie came out and just s*** the bed, just did tremendously badly,...

Amy Schumer's comedies always draw strong numbers, even when they're not a big hit with the critics. Her latest success proves that.

Schumer starred in Netflix's most recent comedy, Kinda Pregnant, which was released on the platform on Feb. 5. The comedy follows Amy Schumer's character Lainy, a woman who gets jealous of her best friend's pregnancy and lies about being pregnant herself, going as far as wearing a fake baby bump.

A snarky podcast host desperately tries to build an ever-shrinking audience in the zombie apocalypse in director Meera Menon‘s Didn’t Die. The feature, set to debut next week at Sundance, is heavily inspired by George A. Romero’s quintessential Night of the Living Dead, but not entirely in the way you’d expect.

The stunning black-and-white photography and green text visually evoke Romero’s defining film, but the homage runs deeper than that while eschewing the conventional zombie apocalypse story. For one, Didn’t Die isn’t all that interested in the zombies but rather in humanity’s desperate need for normalcy, even in the most unusual of circumstances. More charming dramedy than straightforward horror, Menon’s zombie film skips past the obvious Covid lockdown metaphor to instead examine the way we collectively and immediately tried to move past and resume routines as if we hadn’t lived through an unprecedented and traumatic world event.

Nosferatu (2024), directed by Robert Eggers, reimagines the legendary 1922 silent film classic. It brings a fresh yet eerie perspective to the iconic vampire myth. Known for his mastery of atmospheric horror and historical authenticity, Eggers creates a chilling retelling of Count Orlok’s tale. The film captures the same haunting tension and visual storytelling seen in his previous works like The Witch and The Lighthouse. The cinematography, by Dop Jarin Blaschke, echoes the ominous lighting and stark shadows of the original. It adds a unique modern twist. With a mesmerizing performance by Bill Skarsgård as the terrifying vampire, Nosferatu (2024) captures the original’s haunting aura while expanding its thematic depth.

Emmy-winning actress Amy Schumer has starred in many comedies, and she's back with a brand-new one. After discussing her personal journey of pregnancy in her comedy specials, Schumer lies about being pregnant in Netflix's upcoming comedy, Kinda Pregnant.

The upcoming comedy, which will premiere on the streaming service on Feb. 5, has just debuted its first fun-filled trailer. Written by Schumer and Julie Paiva, with The Out-Laws director Tyler Spindel, Schumer plays Lainy, a woman who is jealous of her best friend's pregnancy and ends up wearing a fake baby bump and lying about being pregnant. As expected, this leads to several hilarious encounters, but also serious problems and even love.

Amy Schumer is back with a new Netflix comedy. Schumer recently worked with the streamer when she appeared in Jerry Seinfeld’s breakfast comedy Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for I Am Legend.

Scheduled for a box office landing date sometime this year, Will Smith's I Am Legend sequel is already making waves, just not quite the way that the producers and director were envisioning. What kind of sequel do the filmmakers have in store for fans of the first film? Funny you ask. Based on the early leaks from producer Akiva Goldsman per Deadline, it will ignore the last 15 minutes of the original 2007 zombie blockbuster, opting to go with a completely different, deleted scene hardly anyone has ever witnessed. Think of the sequel as more of a mea culpa than a remake.

Continuity errors are common, but a franchise attracts the wrong kind of attention when they pull a 180 and desperately attempt to gaslight viewers. At the close of the 2007 post-apocalyptic movie, protagonist Dr. Robert Neville (played by Smith) dispatches the army...

Hollywood Squares is coming back to television. The classic game show is a form of tic-tac-toe. In the game show, celebrities sit in boxes positioned as a game board.

There is a long history in theater of the "one man show," in which a single performer must hold the attention of the audience for the entire runtime. Sometimes they play more than one character, sometimes they play just one character, but they are always the focus. Over the years, cinema has created its own version of the one man show, where only one actor appears onscreen for the majority of the runtime. Occasionally we might hear someone offscreen or in voiceover or get a quick flashback with other actors, but for the vast majority of the movie, we're stuck looking at just one face. That takes some serious skill to pull off, no matter how good-looking the face might be. 

Here I've collected and ranked 10 of the best films featuring only one actor, ranging across the years and several different genres. I did not include comedy specials like Bo...

While many works of Richard Matheson ended up on the small screen, the author was a giant when it came to genre. From post-apocalyptic monsters to gremlins on a plane, Matheson fathered a treasure trove of speculative stories that have since inspired countless other writers, including Stephen King. King said of the late Matheson: “[He] fired my imagination by placing his horrors not in European castles and Lovecraftian universes, but in American scenes I knew and could relate to.” And of all his homegrown writings, Matheson’s short story “Button, Button” may very well be his most approachable. For everyone can understand the allure of immediate wealth, even if that windfall comes with strings attached. Matheson, however, wove this universal desire into a unique and uncanny moral quandary — one where the offer is not only too good to be true, it also has fatal consequences.

Matheson’s unsettling tale has led to a few adaptations,...

Despite the cliffhanger ending in season 4, The Last Man on Earth season 5 never happened due to the show's cancellation. The Last Man on Earth was a high-concept sitcom pitch from Phil Lord and Chris Miller that took a funny look at the typical post-apocalyptic scenario. Will Forte stars as Phil Tandy Miller, seemingly the last man alive after a virus wiped out the population. As Phil gradually meets more survivors, awkward social situations make this dystopian existence even worse.

As with many Phil Lord and Chris Miller projects, The Last Man on Earth was a critical success with each season being met with strong reviews and Forte earning two Emmy nominations, for acting and writing. Unfortunately, The Last Man on Earth's ratings were never strong enough to maintain the high-concept production, and the show was ultimately canceled after its fourth season. But with the cliffhanger ending, it is clear...

From creeping dread to heart-stopping jump scares, the horror genre is immensely popular and constantly evolving, and one of its biggest appeals is its versatility with underappracited subgenres. However, the most well-known horror movie genres tend to dominate the horror world. There are countless demonic or ghostly tales of terror, slasher movies, and stereotypical horror movie characters. However, there are many more ways to scare people while still telling a good story. Horror has countless obscure and underrated horror subgenres, giving audiences new settings, twists, and scares.

Some of the more obscure horror movie subgenres are inventive and surprising. Some, like art horror, prioritize stunning visuals while the plot keeps audiences guessing. The most creative horror movies may have an unexpected villain, like the eco-horror subgenre, or mix horror themes with other genres, like Westerns. Even if a horror movie subgenre is less well-known, it does not mean that filmmakers have overlooked it,...

Will Ferrell is taking it to the streets in his next film, and he'll be delivering (comedic) justice while he's at it. The former Saturday Night Live funnyman and current star of the poignant documentary Will & Harper is reportedly in talks to star in the next film by comedy director Peter Atencio, a Dirty Harry-style feature called Street Justice.

This will be the second collaboration between Callaham and Atencio, who previously worked on Jean-Claude Van Johnson together, an action comedy television series starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a heightened version of himself that they worked on together for Prime Video.

The Warden, who is voiced by Will Forte is seemingly excited to have captured the little Mogwai, offering him sustenance, but also keeping him in a cage. Gizmo, along with his friends Sam (Izaac Wang) and Elle (Gabrielle Nevaeh) had just arrived in San Fransisco but didnt quite stick the landing and ended up in the prison.

A big fan of Mogwai, the Warden wants to add him to his collection and gives Gizmo a tour of his office, which shows other animals lining the shelves, to which the Warden says they are his past pets.

This weekend is The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards, commemorating the 175th anniversary of Poe's death in Baltimore. Taking place from October 4th - 6th, the event also celebrates a big milestone: the 60th anniversary of Roger Corman and Vincent Price's The Masque of the Red Death.

The event includes a panel of special guests to talk about the film and its legacy, including Victoria Price, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with to talk about the importance of the film, Vincent Price's lasting impact, and her Halloween celebrations.

The festival will have a 60th anniversary screening of Roger Corman and Vincent Price's The Masque of Red Death, which is a personal favorite of mine.

Mad Men star January Jones is shaking things up with a new haircut, saying goodbye to her famous blonde bob. The Emmy-nominated actress took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 18, where she shared a snap showing off her new look. Jones is seen with darker, sandy-brown hair styled in a messy bun with parted bangs. She’s also wearing sunglasses, a red cardigan, gray hotpants, and thick white socks with a red stripe. Jones is recognized for her iconic blonde bob, seen in her Golden Globe-nominated role as Betty Draper in Mad Men, Melissa Chartres in the post-apocalyptic comedy series The Last Man on Earth, and villain Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class. She’d still been sporting the blonde locks up until July, as photos on her Instagram show. January Jones Instagram The Spinning Out star previously teased the new haircut in a photo celebrating her son Xander Dane’s 13th birthday.

Franca Bettoia, the Italian actress who starred opposite Vincent Price in the 1964 cult sci-fi film The Last Man on Earth, has died in Rome, her family told the Italian news agency Adnkronos. She was 88.

Bettoia was married to Italian actor Ugo Tognazzi — he starred in the 1978 movie La Cage aux Folles in the part played by Robin Williams in Mike Nichols’ 1996 adaptation The Birdcage — from 1972 until his death from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1990 at age 68.

In The Last Man on Earth, directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow, Bettoia portrays Ruth, a woman who, with the help of Price’s Dr. Robert Morgan, is fending off the effects of a plague that has turned humans into vampiric creatures.

Filmed in Rome, produced by Robert L. Lippert and distributed by American International Pictures, the movie was based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I Am Legend. The author then co-wrote the screenplay credited as Logan Swanson.

Disney+ has released another highly anticipated casting update for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2. Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho come together to play the Gray Sisters, immortal creatures from Greek mythology who share one continuous eye and tooth. The casting update created a stir, as it was unveiled during the D23 Expo and posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Deadline.

The Gray Sisters, also known as Anger, Tempest, and Wasp, hold a place in Greek mythology. In the Percy Jackson series, it is often portrayed that they are chaotic, unpredictable beings who guide and cause many problems for Percy and his friends on their quests. In the mix, the casting adds comic zest, gravitas, and unpredictability, with Bernhard, Schaal, and Cho boding very well for memorable performances that are sure to be true to their sources in this unique blend of humor and adventure.

As greedy oil sharks close in, Sarah turns to her family, friends and some Texas wildcatters to maintain control of her oil-rich land, eventually becoming one...

There have been vampire flicks and apocalypse movies since the dawn of cinema. The two horror staples have mixed before, creating their own subgenre with notable works like 1964s The Last Man on Earth and 2007s I Am Legend. However, there is one such movie that often escapes notice: Jim Mickles 2010 Americana-flavored Stake Land. Following a modern cowboy, Mister (Nick Damici), and his pseudo-son, Martin (Connor Paolo), the two traverse the back roads of small-town America in the wake of a vampire outbreak. As they head north in their ramshackle car, they meet a nun, Sister (Kelly McGillis), a pregnant woman, Belle (Danielle Harris), and a former marine, Willie (Sean Nelson). This piecemeal family has no great destination in mind or revenge plot to enact. Stake Land's loose narrative allows Mickle to play with his setting and world. No aesthetic choice is made haphazardly in Stake Land; the nostalgic rural communities,...

When they get caught up in the city’s criminal underworld, they must figure out how to stay alive, out of prison and in the black.

Some of That '90s Show season 2 guest stars have connections to the sitcom franchise, whether by reprising roles or having worked behind the scenes. Will Forte's cameo as Kiefer, a cocaine-addicted spiritual scam artist, is a nod to his previous work as a writer and producer on That '70s Show. Forte's career trajectory includes starring roles in MacGruber, The Last Man On Earth, and various other films and TV shows after his time on That '70s Show.

One That 90s Show season 2 guest star has an interesting history with the sitcom franchise, having played a part in the production of That 70s Show years earlier.

Richard Mathesons novel I Am Legend has seen several iterations, including Vincent Prices The Last Man on Earth, and Will Smiths directly titled I Am Legend. Each of these presents a compelling thriller that uses the concept of isolation to build a unique, and terrifying, setting, but the best film version of the story is 1971s The Omega Man. Starring Charleton Heston in the lead role, The Omega Man is at the top of the post-apocalyptic genre. With its unique style and daring storytelling, any apocalyptic horror fan thats worth their salt should be well familiar with Boris Sagals magnum opus.

The upcoming reimagining of The Four Seasons needs to make some room because Will Forte is checking in. Universal Television is producing the all-new series adaptation from Tina Fey, Land Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. Forte joins Fey, Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Erika Henningsen for the show written by Fey, Fisher, and Wigfield.

The Four Seasons, a retread of the 1981 Universal movie of the same name, is a co-creation between Fey, her 30 Rock co-star Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. Details about Forte’s character remain a mystery, though the cast list for Alan Alda’s 1981 comedy could provide some clues. In 1981’s The Four Seasons, three couples vacation together every season. After one couple divorces, feelings of betrayal and more spawn criticisms of one another, but the things that keep them together are stronger than those that might tear them apart. Alan Alda directed and wrote the 1981 version,...

Will Forte is headed back to Netflix for his next series role — and reuniting with his former Saturday Night Live castmate Tina Fey.

Forte, who’s coming off the comedic thriller Bodkin at Netflix, has joined the cast of The Four Seasons at the streamer. The series, based on the 1981 film of the same name, stars and was co-created by Fey. The cast also includes Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Erika Henningsen.

Fey co-created The Four Seasons with Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield; all three worked together on 30 Rock. The film it’s based on, written and directed by Alan Alda, centers on three couples who vacation together each season and the changes in the group dynamic when one of couples splits up and the man brings a much younger woman on subsequent trips. Alda also starred in the movie alongside Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Rita Moreno,...

Slated to begin production later this year, “The Four Seasons” has received an eight-episode order at Netflix.

Sweet Tooth season 2 soundtrack balances classic hits like Cream with indie tracks by Aisha Badru, creating a well-curated listening experience. Limited songs in Sweet Tooth season 2 enhance crucial scenes, with composer Jeff Grace returning to deliver atmospheric compositions. The soundtrack adds depth to narrative threads as the series continues Gus' post-apocalyptic adventures with a focus on his imprisonment.

The Sweet Tooth season 2 soundtrack features exciting needle drops, ranging from rock hits by Cream and Alice In Chains to alternative and indie tracks by Aisha Badru and Patrick Watson. Like the Sweet Tooth season 1 soundtrack, season 2's tracklist balances throwback classics with modern picks. Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the Netflix fantasy series continues the post-apocalyptic adventures of deer-boy Gus, with the sophomore season focusing on Gus' imprisonment by General Abbot and the efforts to use him as a cure for humankind in a world ravaged by a pandemic called The Sick.

The 1970s was not just a prime decade for science fiction movies but an era in which those movies carried even more urgent messages about the many problems facing humanity on Earth. Sure, the sci-fi outings of the 1950s and early ‘60s carried warnings about nuclear destruction and radiation too, while the latter half of the ‘60s began delving into sociological examinations of race, youth culture, and radical politics. But the ‘70s introduced a whole new set of crises into the genre, in tandem with the growing awareness of such issues in the real world.

Climate change, unchecked population growth, lack of food, heavy pollution—all of those were prevalent in the science fiction cinema of the ‘70s, along with monsters, nuclear holocausts and other holdovers. But the messages seemed to hit harder, at least in the moment, because they were ripped in many cases right from the headlines. Decades later,...

Michael B Jordan, who’s set to co-star alongside Will Smith in I Am Legend 2, says that work on the sci-fi horror sequel is still ongoing.

Every now and again, somebody famous pops up to reassure the media that I Am Legend 2 is still happening. This time, it’s co-star Michael B Jordan’s turn: he’s said that the sci-fi horror sequel is “something that’s in the works,” but adds hints that it could be a while before it goes into production.

Talking to People magazine (via The Hollywood Reporter), Jordan said, “We’re still working on the script and getting that up to par,” and added that “It doesn’t have a release date or anything like that. I’m not sure exactly where we’re going to be filming that one, but I’m really excited to get in front of the camera with...

Films about the last person on Earth don't focus on the catastrophe, exploring themes of isolation and humanity. Although not extensively done, these movies have provided a fascinating insight into post-human Earth. From horror to comedy, these films about the last person showcase unique exploration of being human.

One subgenre of movie that often proves to be thought-provoking and compelling are films about the last person or people on Earth. These movies don't necessarily go into the catastrophe that destroyed life on the planet, or even need to be particularly dystopian. Some of these movies can be more horror focused, and on the other end of the spectrum, they can be comedies. However, they all explore themes of isolation, loneliness, and what it means to be human.

This category of film has not been extensively done, but there is a catalog of movies extending back to at least 1964 with movies...

Of L.A.’s two NBA teams, the Clippers have always been like the neglected little brother next to the more glamorous and celebrated Lakers. So it’s fitting, then, that FX’s new Clippers chronicle Clipped — premiering Tuesday, June 4 exclusively on Hulu; I’ve seen all six episodes — pales in comparison to HBO’s superior Lakers saga Winning Time. A gaudy and campy basketball docudrama sung in the key of Ryan Murphy (though Murphy isn’t involved in this production), Clipped bites off far more than it can chew. It’s part underdog sports drama, part overheated soap opera...

Adaptations of books into movies can differ vastly due to intentional choices by filmmakers. Reimagining classic stories, like Shakespeare plays and Austen novels, in modern contexts is common. The same source material can result in two movies with wildly different end products, both valid in their own ways.

Filmmakers have to make a lot of choices when adapting a book, and this means that two different adaptations can end up looking nothing like each other. Sometimes, this is completely intentional, especially when a filmmaker decides to radically change a story that has already been told many times before. This explains why so many Shakespeare plays and Austen novels are often reimagined in modern contexts.

Watching two movies which use the same source material highlights just how many decisions each adaptation makes. Book lovers often have gripes when their favorites are adapted in ways that they don't agree with, but two...

Bodkin, a Netflix series starring Will Forte, follows a group of podcasters uncovering dark secrets in a small Irish town. The show features a talented cast including Siobhn Cullen and Robyn Cara, with episodes directed by Bronwen Hughes. Will Forte shines as Gilbert in his first leading role since Sweet Tooth, delivering a blend of comedy and mystery in Bodkin.

The cast of Bodkin features a star performance from former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte. Bodkin, which releases in its entirety exclusively on Netflix on May 9, 2024, is a 7-episode miniseries that takes place entirely in a small coastal town in Ireland. The series was created by British writer Jez Scharf, whose previous works include Mister Biscuits (2018), Groucho Nietzsche (2014), and The UnDream (2013). Three of Bodkin's seven episodes are directed by Bronwen Hughes, who is best known for her directorial work on Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and 13 Reasons Why.

Francis Lawrence's 2007 post-apocalyptic drama "I Am Legend" is based loosely on the celebrated 1954 novel by Richard Matheson. The original novel is set in the near future of 1976 when a destructive war has ravaged the Earth, and a horrible virus has infected the survivors. The virus transforms its victims into pale-skinned, nocturnal ghouls with an appetite for human blood, more or less making them vampires. The novel follows Robert Neville, seemingly the last human alive, as he tries to survive in a ravaged Los Angeles and study the virus during the daylight hours. The title comes from the novel's famous twist ending.

"I Am Legend" was adapted to film in 1964 as "The Last Man on Earth," and in 1971 as "The Omega Man," before Lawrence's 2007 version. Lawrence's version transposes the action to New York and makes Neville (Will Smith) into a surviving virologist attempting to come up with a cure for the vampire virus.

O.J. Simpson's death hasn't changed anyone's mind about his perceived guilt despite being acquitted of murder. That is, except for a movie called The Juice. Filmmaker Joshua Newton struggled with casting for the film, initially targeting Owen Wilson for the lead role. Newton has overcome numerous hurdles in his filmmaking career, including technical and legal challenges in his previous work, Beautiful Blue Eyes.

Disgraced NFL athlete, actor, and celebrity O.J. Simpson passed away on April 11, and in the two weeks since then, people have hardly eulogized the man rhapsodically. Most people agree that Simpson seemed guilty of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, despite being acquitted 30 years ago. Simpson has even morbidly teased his guilt, whether it's in footage where he pretends to stab someone to death or it's his book If I Did It, where the word 'if' is practically hidden in the title formatting.
