Dan Lin, the producer behind the Lego movies and the new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, has been tapped as the new head of film for Netflix, according to sources.
Lin steps into the role vacated by Scott Stuber, who announced in January he would step down in March.
Lin’s name had been in the mix since the early days of the headhunting, along with former Disney executive Sean Bailey and Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey, among a handful of others. Bailey seemed like the choice until he wasn’t, with the Feb. 26 shake-up at Disney resulting in his departure after a 15-year run at the Burbank-based studio.
Making a deal with Lin was not a slam dunk. Lin remained strongly tied to Rideback, his prolific production company, and Rideback Rise, his equally robust nonprofit endeavor. The two entities proved to be stumbling blocks on previous occasions when...

Scott Stuber, who pushed Netflix to expand into blockbuster movie territory, is stepping down from the streaming service’s top film job to form his own media company.
Stuber will remain with the streamer until March, at which point Netflix Cco Bela Bajaria will temporarily assume his role while she searches for a replacement. Bloomberg first reported the news.
Under Stuber’s direction, Netflix’s feature business aggressively entered the blockbuster space, courting filmmakers such as Zack Snyder, the Russo brothers, Michael Bay and Rawson Marshall Thurber. The era began with the Will Smith starrer Bright, the 2017 film that had a reported budget of $90 million, a hefty number that turned heads at the time but would soon look quaint compared to what was to come.
Red Notice, starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, cost somewhere in the $250 million to $300 million range, while the Russo’ Gray Man cost in the $200 million range.

Berlin has been the talk of the town ever since the show was released on Netflix. Shows of this genre bring back a lot of memories that allow the audience to stay on the edge of their seat and soak in the stories of the crime, which mostly glorify them. Some films are comedy heist dramas that justify the act, but there is a reason why the word ‘comedy’ is part of the genre’s name. Here is a list of movies you can watch if you like Berlin, the latest Netflix spin on the very popular Money Heist.

Let's make something very clear right up front: Tom Cruise is a more important, and better, movie star than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Period. Full stop. But a piece of film news was announced this week that genuinely shocked me, and it has me thinking about what Cruise could learn from Johnson right now.
Word came out that Dwayne Johnson is set to play Mma fighter Mark Kerr in a biopic called "The Smashing Machine." On the surface, that may not seem like that big of a stretch: Johnson, of course, transitioned from the world of professional wrestling into becoming an actor, so the notion of him playing a professional athlete may not raise any eyebrows. The surprising part is the creative team: Benny Safdie, one half of the brother duo behind films like "Good Time" and "Uncut Gems," is directing for A24, one of the most interesting companies in the film industry right now.

Jennifer Aniston’s no stranger to kissing co-stars. She’s done it many times throughout her career, locking lips with her friend and co-star Adam Sandler three times alone. In what just might be one of her most memorable on-screen smooches, she kissed then-teenager Will Poulter in a scene from 2013’s We’re the Millers. How Aniston felt about kissing her young co-star. Plus, why Poulter later admitted to being “very sorry” about the whole thing.

One of the biggest box office surprises in 2013 was the comedy film "We're the Millers," which featured Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Will Poulter as a ragtag group of amateur drug smugglers posing as a family in the hopes of bringing home a massive payday. The road trip comedy was a huge financial success and is considered by many to be one of the very best films of Sudeikis' career. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber ("Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story"), the film also features a knock-out supporting cast including Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Ed Helms, Molly Quinn, Luis Guzman, Thomas Lennon, Ken Marino, Tomer Sisley, Matthew Willig, and the feature film debut of Sam Richardson.

It's finally happening: "Dodgeball: A True Underdog" is getting a sequel and, what's more, Vince Vaughn will be returning as Peter La Fleur. The original comedy came out nearly 20 years ago back in 2004 and was a big hit in its day. Naturally, there was lots of talk of a sequel that never actually materialized. Now though, Vaughn has committed to the film and it is in development at 20th Century Studios, with a new writer on board.
According to Deadline, Vaughn will star in and possibly produce the sequel, which does not yet have an official title. Jordan VanDina ("The Binge") has been tapped to pen the screenplay, working from an idea that Vaughn cooked up himself. It is described as being in "early" development, so there's no word yet on a director or plot details. Rawson Marshall Thurber, of "Red Notice" and "We're the Millers" fame, wrote and directed the original film.

"Blade. Laser. Blazer." It's the Ben Stiller Dodgeball quote that lives forever on the lips of Empire's podcast team, but it appears they might have more to choose from if the long-rumoured (and occasionally gestating) sequel finally sees screens. According to Deadline, it's still in the works, with Vince Vaughn returning to star as Peter La Fleur and Jordan VanDina writing the script.
The 2004 original found La Fleur’s Average Joes gym suffering financially and facing a takeover threat from White Goodman’s (Stiller) colossal company. To score the funds necessary to stay in business, La Fleur enters a team of losers in a big dodgeball competition, coached by legendary player Patches “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball” O’Houlihan (Rip Torn). Cue, as the subtitle suggests, a true underdog story, but also a flurry of quotable lines and well-judged slapstick.

Vince Vaughn is set to star in a long-gestating sequel to the 2004 film Dodgeball in the works at 20th Century Studios, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The original film starred Vaughn as the slacker owner of a rundown gym who gathers a group of misfits into a dodgeball tournament in order to defeat an encroaching corporate gym run by Ben Stiller. The movie grossed more than $114 million domestically on a reported budget of $20 million.
Vaughn is also expected to produce the sequel, which earlier was set up at Fox. Vaughn and co-star Stiller have long mulled the idea of a sequel, but the project has not moved forward, apparently until now.

We’re not sure who asked for it, but Vince Vaughn is returning to star in a sequel to his 2004 comedy Dodgeball, reports Deadline.
The film is in early development stages at 20th Century Studios, with Jordan VanDina attached to write the script based on an idea from Vaughn. This isn’t the first time Vaughn has worked together with VanDina; the actor starred in The Binge, a 2020 parody of The Purge that was also penned by the writer.
At this time, there’s no word yet about whether Rawson Marshall Thurber — who wrote and directed the original Dodgeball — will be involved with the sequel. However, Thurber previously said “never say never” about expanding the Dodgeball universe. Vaughn, who will likely produce the movie, is the only actor currently attached.

Exclusive: Vince Vaughn will return to star in (and likely produce) a sequel to his hit 2004 comedy, Dodgeball, scripted by Jordan VanDina (The Binge), which is in early development at 20th Century Studios, Deadline has learned.
While Rawson Marshall Thurber wrote and directed the original film for 20th Century Fox, it’s not yet clear whether he’ll be involved in the sequel, and who, if not Thurber, would direct. Equally uncertain is who will join Vaughn on screen, though there’s certainly a deep bench of talent to pull from in looking back to Dodgeball‘s stacked ensemble, which included Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Justin Long, Stephen Root, Alan Tudyk, Joel David Moore, Chris Williams, Missi Pyle, Gary Cole, Jason Bateman and William Shatner, as well as the late Rip Torn.

We’re just one week away from the March 31st theatrical release date of Paramount Pictures’ Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise – and just in case the positive reviews (there’s a bunch of them quoted in the final trailer) haven’t convinced someone to see the movie, Paramount is now using the Freaks and Geeks connection to try to lure in viewers. In the new ad that you can check out in the Twitter embed below, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves director John Francis Daley is reunited with Samm Levine and Martin Starr, his co-stars from the short-lived but beloved TV series Freaks and Geeks, which went off the air twenty-three years ago after just one season.

Paramount Pictures has been releasing a steady stream of clips and featurettes to promote their upcoming release Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which is based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise and is set to reach theatres on March 31st. (And got solid reviews from those in attendance at its SXSW film festival screening.) Today we have both a clip and a featurette to share with you, and they can be seen at the bottom of this article.
The clip shows off a 3 minute stretch of the film, with the lead characters and some disposable side characters getting chased through a maze by a tricky beast. The featurette discusses the fact that the story of the film pits our heroes against the forces of evil.

Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool franchise) is attached to produce and star in Boy Band, a new comedy for Paramount Pictures, Deadline can confirm.
Plot details are under wraps. But Reynolds penned the script with Jesse Andrews (Me & Earl and & Dying Girl) from his own original story. He’ll also produce for his company Maximum Effort, which has a first-look deal with the studio, alongside his frequent collaborator Shawn Levy of 21 Laps Entertainment.
Levy may direct, having already been set to reteam with Reynolds for Deadpool 3, which is soon heading into production. But whether he’ll commit to the project in that capacity remains to be determined.
Reynolds has been on a tear of late, most recently starring opposite Will Ferrell in Apple TV+’s acclaimed musical comedy Spirited, based on Charles Dickens’ classic novella, A Christmas Carol. Prior to that he starred in Levy’s The Adam Project and...

The 2000 live-action film based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise didn’t go over very well with audiences, but it did earn the Awfully Good treatment and spawn a couple of sequels (2005’s Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God and 2012’s Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness). Those movies came to us from New Line Cinema / Warner Bros. and Im Global, but now it’s Paramount Pictures’ turn.

Amazon has scored in a bidding war to acquire a screenplay adapting the animated TV series "Voltron", as a live-action feature, to be directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber ("Red Notice") for exclusive streaming on Prime Video:
Five space explorers pilot a giant 'Super Robot' known as 'Voltron' in an adaptation of several Japanese anime television series from Toei Animation, that aired 1984-1985.
The first season featuring the "Lion Force Voltron", was adapted from the series "Beast King GoLion". The second season, featuring the "Vehicle Team Voltron", was adapted from the series "Armored Fleet Dairugger Xv".
"Voltron: Defender of the Universe" is also noted as the top-rated syndicated children's series for two years during its original run, spawning three follow-up series, several comic book titles and a line of collectable toys.

Paramount+ is adding another iconic franchise to its roster.
According to Deadline, the streaming service has picked up a live-action TV series based on the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise.
Rawson Marshall Thurber (Red Notice) penned the script for the first episode and is set to direct the premiere.
Dungeons & Dragons has nabbed an eight-episode order for its first season.
Details on the plot are being kept under wraps for now, but we might get more insight into the series after the upcoming movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves hits theaters on March 31.
The flick comes from directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio.
For now, it looks like the creative teams and stars of both projects are different, but that could change.
The movie stars Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant.

Last year, word arrived that Red Notice director (and confirmed fantasy gamer) Rawson Marshall Thurber was rolling the dice on a TV series set in the sprawling, magical world of Dungeons & Dragons. It was out to prospective TV homes then, but Paramount+ has now won the rights to make it.
The move feels like a sensible one for the streamer, since sibling studio Paramount has Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and more, in cinemas this year (the UK release date is now 31 March).
Quite what the focus of the show will be, narratively speaking, is a mystery for now. But Thurber wrote the pilot and is on board to direct the first episode, so expect more news in the not-too-distant future.

We're going through somewhat of a golden age for fantasy on the screen. After the '80s saw an explosion of fantasy movies — some of them zany and unserious, others the exact opposite — the success and acclaim of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy on the big screen and of "Game of Thrones" on TV has created a race to find the big new fantasy epic, e.g. the next sword and sorcery tale that can captivate audiences.
On the small screen, there's "The Witcher," "House of the Dragon," and "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" fighting for live-action dominance, and even animation has "The Legend of Vox Machima," "Dragon Age: Absolution," and "The Dragon Prince" offering high fantasy epics for a variety of different audiences.

Rian Johnson‘s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery has been performing like gangbusters on Netflix since the film’s Christmas pre-game launch. According to new analytics, the comedic whodunit is the streaming platform’s sixth-biggest debut in Netflix history. Further details about Glass Onion reveal Netflix subscribers streamed the movie for 82.1 million hours in the first three days since the film’s December 23 release. While the hour count isn’t enough to crack Netflix’s Top 5, 82.1 million hours would have Mona Lisa smirking and then some.
Glass Onion is in good company on Netflix’s chart of most-watched films. In fifth place is Nora Fingscheidt’s The Unforgivable, starring Sandra Bullock and Viola Davis (85.86. million hours). The Russo Brothers’ film The Gray Man ranks fourth with 88.55 million hours viewed. Shawn Levy’s The Adam Project is in third place, starring Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, and Mark Ruffalo, with 92.43 million hours.

After more than a year and a half of development, eOne recently started shopping its high-profile Dungeons & Dragons live-action TV series. Shepherded by Red Notice filmmaker Rawson Marshall Thurber, it is based on Hasbro’s wildly popular fantasy role-playing game franchise.
The series was conceived as eOne’s priciest, largest-scope TV project ever, a series that would demonstrate the full potential of Hasbro’s 2019 acquisition of the indie film and TV studio.

Justin Long is ready to duck, dip, dive, and dodge when it comes to convincing Ben Stiller to star in a “Dodgeball” sequel.
The “Barbarian” actor confirmed that former co-star Vince Vaughn is spearheading an idea for a follow-up film featuring the rivalry between Average Joe’s Gym and Globo Gym. However, after the flop of “Zoolander 2,” Stiller is hesitant to revisit the beloved 2004 sports comedy.
