Fox is developing the single-camera comedy project The Intruders from actor-writer Danny Comden, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The project centers on a wealthy country club father in Arizona who falls in love with a white-trash single mom and blindsides his kids by moving her and her family into their estate, where the debaucherous world of Lake Havasu collides with the manicured lawns of Scottsdale. “I kept hearing the networks are looking for a family show, and I had a highly comical show staring directly in my face: the family I chose to marry into,” Comden said....

When I first heard about this project, I thought it was a joke. But it looks like Avalon Family Films is really going ahead with it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chevy Chase has been signed onto the cast of Jack and the Beanstalk. Katey Sagal, Wallace Shawn, and Gilbert Gottfried have also decided to join the project. The film is a family-friendly take on the tale, which sees Jack on the verge of flunking out of Fairytale School....

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Buena Vista’s CG-animated Chicken Little captured the top boxoffice spot for the second consecutive session, grossing an estimated $32 million – down a scant 20% from its $40 million debut. The 10-day gross for Chicken is $80.8 million. The tremendous hold of Chicken puts the film in some exceptional company and was all the more impressive considering the marketplace and the weekend’s three new wide releases....

Sometimes fandom blinds our better judgment. When the parody news website, The Hard Times, proclaimed: “John Carpenter Announces Release Dates for ‘They Live’ Sequels ‘They Laugh’ and ‘They Love,’” a number of fans thought to themselves, those are super weird titles, but They Live is a weird movie, so this is great news! Unfortunately, there is no actual development happening for a They Live sequel, or is there? The 1988 film has amassed an impressive fan base today with merchandise, viral memes, and conspiracy theories that continue to keep the title relevant all these years later....

Asked if he would be interested in tackling a superhero film, Caruso said: You know…I would definitely tackle it and I sort of wrestled with it before and I was always a fan of Thor growing up as a kid....

Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson is not a fan of “cancel culture” and even particularly hates that term. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the subject of the Johnny Depp, Amber Heard legal battle came up. This is because of a 2015 clip going viral that featured Johnson observing Johnny Depp’s injured finger with the original poster alleging that this was the moment Johnson realized that Depp had been abused....

It wasn’t long after Netflix announced their plans to develop a live-action Gears of War movie before Dave Bautista renewed his campaign to get involved. For several years, Bautista had lobbied hard to get the role, going so far as to personally pitch a Gears of War film to Warner Bros. at one point. As time went by, it looked like the former wrestler would never land his dream role of playing the live-action Marcus Fenix in a feature film adaptation of the popular video game....

David Zaslav and the leadership at the newly created Warner Bros. Discovery are trying to maximize the DC universe to its fullest potential. During the company’s Q2 earnings call Thursday, Zaslav revealed there’s a specific team within WBD that’s focusing solely on DC properties, developing a 10-year roadmap of projects inspired by Kevin Feige and the MCU. It’s unclear who exactly is on that team, but it sounds like current DC Films president Walter Hamada may not be part of WBD’s long-term planning....

Dune director Denis Villeneuve has his sights set on epic sci-fi adventures far beyond simply Dune: Part Two, with the filmmaker revealing that he has in fact always envisioned a trilogy. Despite Dune 2 being touch-and-go, now that it has been officially been greenlit, Villeneuve has clearly gotten a taste for more. While it had always been understood that Villeneuve’s vision for the Dune saga would be told in two movies, the filmmaker has evidently been thinking beyond that, and though he does stipulate that he does not want to spawn a franchise, the director is hoping to adapt more of Frank Herbert’s novels for the big screen....

“The Brat Pack.” In the eighties, it seemed like this group of actors would be in all the movies that were in vogue at the time. New York magazine writer David Blum coined the term for the story he was going to write about Emilio Estevez, but after a night out with other young, up-and-coming actors (that included the likes of Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson), he decided to make this into a catch-all phrase to describe an entire generation of actors who were coming-of-age during this era....

Our interview is a reunion of sorts for actors Celia Au (Wu Assassins) and Ludi Lin (Mortal Kombat). Although they both star in Ximan “Mandy” Li’s In a New York Minute, Au and Lin really only share one scene together. Set in New York, the romance drama follows the intersecting storylines of three different Asian-American women as they navigate life and love in the big city: Amy (Amy Chang) is a food journalist who, fresh from a break-up, finds herself unable to eat or enjoy food; Angel (Yi Liu) is a budding actress who is unhappily married to an older and wealthy businessman (Erik Lochtefeld); and Nina is a young woman who works as an escort in order to support herself and save enough to finally escape the family that has been unkind towards her....

The Croods was a surprising success story for DreamWorks Animation, spawning a franchise that’s made over $1 billion in box office, merchandising, and home video sales.
