Movies are like comfort food for the soul. Whether you’re looking to laugh, cry, or just escape the chaos of daily life, there’s always something playing that fits the mood. But let’s be honest, movie lovers can be very picky too. One second, we’re praising a film’s aesthetic, and the next, we’re tearing it apart because the villain’s logic didn’t make sense or the protagonist made a decision no sane person would ever make. Filmmakers try their best, but even the best of the best slip up sometimes.

It’s kind of wild how even the most loved movies—yes, the blockbusters and cult classics—have plot holes that are just sitting out there, waving at us. Unless you’re watching with a super sharp eye (or you’re on your fifth rewatch), you probably never noticed them or thought about them hard enough.

Alicia Silverstone is attached to reprise the role of Cher Horowitz in a “Clueless” sequel series at Peacock, Variety has learned.

The show is currently in development. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact the show will serve as a follow-up to the cult classic film.

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are attached to write along with Jordan Weiss. All three will executive produce, with Schwartz and Savage doing so under their Fake Empire banner. Silverstone will executive produce in addition to starring. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed the film, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the film, also serve as executive producers. CBS Studios will produce in association with Universal Television.

This is a wholly new “Clueless” series than the one that had been set up at Peacock in 2020 but ultimately did not go forward. That show, with a completely different creative team, was...

Audiences these days have truly grown to love the terrifying presence of horror in their holidays. Whether it be Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, the Yuletide season, or even St. Patrick's Day, the number of holiday-themed horror movies has increased over the past few decades. Despite its growing popularity, though, it was a controversial theme back then. In fact, when Silent Night, Deadly Night hit theaters in 1984, a conservative group of parents found the feature offensive for tarnishing the image of their beloved Saint Nick. But that’s not to say the movie hasn’t had its brighter days; it has even found its rightful viewers several years later and is now deemed a cult classic. Now, with the movie confirmed to be receiving a modern reboot, Deadline has unveiled the first image of Rohan Campbell as the new Billy Chapman — a role first played by Robert Brian Wilson.

Freaky Friday and Mean Girlsstar Lindsay Lohan officially signs her first leading role in a television series.

Per Variety, Lohan has signed on to star in and executive produce Hulu's planned adaptation of Sophie Stava's 2025 novel, Count My Lies. The project is being written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, both of whom have past writing credits on the hit drama series This Is Us. Assuming Count My Lies is greenlit for production, it will mark Lohan's first leading role in a series.

The official logline for Count My Lies reads, "When compulsive liar Sloane Caraway fibs her way into a nanny position for the gorgeous and charismatic Violet and Jay Lockhart, it seems she’s finally landed her dream job. But little does Sloane know, she’s just entered a household brimming with secrets that are about to explode — with potentially catastrophic consequences for all." This falls...

Lindsay Lohan's career is about to take on a new trajectory that will continue the resurgence that began for the actress a few years ago. Lohan has already turned Christmas rom-coms into hits for Netflix, and now she is setting her sights on working with another streaming service to headline her first scripted TV series.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Lohan will lead the Hulu drama series Count My Lies, which is based on the novel by Sophie Stava. The show comes from 20th Television and a pair that knows about their fair share of drama, Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who took on the duty of being showrunners on NBC's critically acclaimed fan favorite, This Is Us. In addition to starring in the series, Lohan will also serve as an executive producer.

Lindsay will be reportedly playing the character Violet, making it her first-ever starring role in a TV series. She is also set to executive produce the project.

If you didn’t see, Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis recently gave hints about what to expect for the Freaky Friday sequel.

Looks like Willian Levy is taking a page straight out of Lindsay Lohan’s 2007 playbook. The Resident Evil actor was recently arrested on charges of public intoxication, disor derly conduct, and trespassing on private property – an incident that feels all too familiar to anyone who’s followed Lohan’s chaotic mid-2000s headlines.

While Lohan has turned her life around, this recent situation with Levy has got the fans worried. They’re wondering if this is just a one-time incident or if the actor is heading towards a more controversial path.

Either way, his name on the internet is now showing up for all the wrong reasons. Let’s dive deeper to understand what actually happened and why it is giving serious déjà vu to Lindsay Lohan fans.

Is William Levy headed down a Lindsay Lohan-style spiral?

Looks like William Levy is stepping into the kind of headlines that were once owned by Lindsay Lohan.

Scream Queen and Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis is co-starring and producing a new psychological horror flick, “Sender,” and they’ve revealed quite the casting addition to the lineup.

Deadline is reporting that actress Britt Lower has joined Curtis, David Dastmalchian (“Late Night With The Devil”), and Anna Baryshnikov (“Love Lies Bleeding”) in a lead role as the pic is based on Russell Goldman‘s “Return To Sender.”

An award-winning 2022 short that Goldman later adapted into a 2023 Black List script (a collection of the best unproduced scripts that have led to some excellent films) and is now making his feature directorial debut as production is underway.

Continue reading ‘Sender’: Britt Lower Joins Jamie Lee Curtis & David Dastmalchian In New Psychological Horror Flick at The Playlist.

Jamie Lee Curtis might not be stepping back into the shoes of Laurie Strode again anytime soon, but the Oscar-winning actress is far from being done with the horror genre. Curtis will star in Sender, a psychological horror film based on the award-winning 2022 short film, shares Deadline.

Russell Goldman is set to direct the movie in his feature directorial debut. He previously directed the indie short Return to Sender, on which the film will be based, and then adapted his short into a 2023 Black List contender.

Sender is already in development. Apart from Curtis, the film stars Severance's Britt Lower, David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), and Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding).

It follows a woman entangled in a mysterious and dangerous e-commerce scam that quickly becomes very personal, leaving her determined to find out who the anonymous sender is and stop their harassment.

Return to Sender starred Allison Tolman...

Borderlands was one of the biggest box-office bombs of 2024. The adaptation of the acclaimed video game franchise grossed just $33 million in theaters and was absolutely trashed by critics. While speaking on The Town podcast, Borderlands director Eli Roth reflected on the failure of the movie, saying Covid played a big part.

“None of us anticipated how complicated things were gonna be with Covid,” Roth said. “Not just in terms of what we’re shooting, but then you have to do pick-up shots or reshoots, and you have six people that are all on different sets, and every one of those sets is getting shut down because the cities have opened up, and now there’s a Covid outbreak and it was just like… we couldn’t prep in a room together, I couldn’t be with my stunt people, I couldn’t do pre-vis, everyone’s spread all over the place.

Jamie Lee Curtis wrapped up her time in the Halloween franchise with Halloween Ends back in 2022 – and now, three years after she left the Laurie Strode character behind (and went on to win an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once), she’s returning to the horror genre to produce and star in the psychological horror film Sender.

Deadline reports that Curtis is being joined in the cast by Britt Lower (Severance), David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), and Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding).

The feature directorial debut of Russell Goldman, Sender is based on Return to Sender, Goldman’s award-winning 2022 short that he later adapted into a 2023 Black List script. Lower takes on the role of a woman who experiences an e-commerce package delivery scam that becomes so personal and disturbing that she becomes hellbent on discovering the identity of her anonymous sender.

Filming has already begun. Curtis...

2024 wasn't a great year for Lionsgate, but Borderlands stood out as the studio's biggest box office flop. Following a disastrous $9 million opening weekend, the movie ended its month-long run at the box office with a mere $33 million worldwide.

With a production budget of $115 million and a $30 million marketing campaign - which saw fans of the games largely reject everything they were seeing - the studio lost upwards of $100 million. 

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer previously said, "Nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong: it sat on the shelf for too long during the pandemic, and reshoots and rising interest rates took it outside the safety zone of our usual strict financial models."

Borderlands director Eli Roth reflected on the movie while speaking to The Town (via GameFraggercom) and argued that Covid-19 and Zoom meetings were the main issue. He also pointed to the reshoots he was unable to...

After the recent announcement that Severance star Britt Lower would lead the cast for a new Netflix prison break series, the rising star has lined up yet another project, this time teaming with legendary actress Jamie Lee Curtis on a new horror film.

Per Deadline, Lower is set to lead the cast of Sender, a psychological horror film from Russell Goldman, who makes his feature directorial debut with the movie. The horror flick is based on Goldman's 2022 short film Return to Sender. Lower will star alongside David Dastmalchian, Anna Baryshnikov, and Curtis. Per the official logline, Sender follows "a woman (Lower) who experiences an e-commerce package delivery scam that becomes so personal and disturbing that she becomes hellbent on discovering the identity of her anonymous sender."

In addition to starring in the film, Curtis serves as a producer alongside Molly Hallam and Jake Katofsky, while Lower is an executive producer.

Britt Lower has been cast in the lead role of Sender, a psychological horror film currently in production and produced by Jamie Lee Curtis through her banner Comet Pictures. The film will also feature performances by David Dastmalchian, Anna Baryshnikov, and Curtis.

The project marks the feature directorial debut of Russell Goldman and is based on his 2022 short film Return to Sender, which won awards on the festival circuit. Goldman later adapted the short into a feature-length screenplay that appeared on the 2023 Black List. The story centers on a woman who becomes entangled in a personal and unsettling e-commerce scam, triggering an obsession with uncovering the identity of the anonymous sender.

Curtis is producing the film alongside Molly Hallam and Jake Katofsky. Executive producers include Akshay Shah, Lower, and Goldman. Co-producers on the film are Thomas Grabinski, Eric Baird, Cesar Vega, and Mireia Vilanova. Verve Ventures is representing the film for North American sales.

Eli Roth isn’t skirting around speaking about how “Borderlands” was both a commercial and creative flop. The video game adaptation grossed $33 million on a budget of approximately $115 million, leading to even Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer admitting that “nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong” during the production, ranging from pandemic delays to reshoots sans writer/director Roth, who moved on to directing “Thanksgiving.”

Now, Roth is that detailing what plagued “Borderlands,” a film that had two Oscar winners (Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis) at its center. Roth confirmed during Matthew Belloni’s podcast “The Town” (via Dark Horizons) that he was not on set for the reshoots, saying, “ was doing ‘Thanksgiving,’ and […] I remember [asking myself], ‘Am I at the point of my career where I’m going to sit down to watch my own movie that says I wrote and directed it, and I genuinely don’t...

Jamie Lee Curtis will star in and produce the psychological horror film Sender, Deadline reports.

Britt Lower (“Severance”), David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), and Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding) also star.

The film marks the feature debut of writer-director Russell Goldman, based on his 2022 short Return to Sender, which he adapted into a 2023 Black List script. Curtis also produced the short, which you can watch below.

Currently in production, the film follows a woman (Lower) who experiences an e-commerce package delivery scam that becomes so personal and disturbing that she becomes hellbent on discovering the identity of her anonymous sender.

In a statement to Deadline,...

Eli Roth may be primarily known as a horror filmmaker, but at heart he's a video store bred cinephile who's down to take a crack at movies that don't, for example, feature a cat lapping up blood from the neck of a headless body. In 2018, he made the family-friendly fantasy film "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" starring Cate Blanchett and Jack Black, and that production evidently went smoothly enough for those two stars to team up with Roth again in 2021 for the big-budget movie adaptation of the popular video game "Borderlands." This was Roth's big chance to prove he could deliver a four-quadrant blockbuster, and, well, just about nothing went as planned.

It's never a good sign when a film arrives in theaters four years after it commenced principal photography, and it's never helpful when that release is preceded by months of reports detailing everything that went wrong with the production.

As one of the worst-reviewed movies of 2024, Borderlands came and went at the box office to little fanfare. The big-budget video game adaptation directed by Eli Roth managed to gross just $33 million at the box office despite a star-studded cast that included the likes of Academy Award-winners Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis. Reflecting on the failure of the film now, Roth admits that "we got our asses handed to us," and blames the Covid-19 pandemic for many of the film's shortcomings.

Recently appearing on The Town podcast to discuss his new venture – a horror media company which allows fans to "own" a portion of the company and share in the profits – Roth touched a little on what went wrong with Borderlands last year. Based on the hit video game series by Gearbox Software, it seemed destined for success considering the rabid fan base, but even they couldn't look past the film's flaws,...

If you're anything like horror queen Jamie Lee Curtis, nothing quite gets your hair standing on end like the Disney classic Aladdin and, in particular, the evil Jafar. After the Oscar winner announced her fear of the film, and given the current slate of warped horror adaptations of children's classics, it was only a matter of time until Prince Ali was given the gory treatment. Subtitled The Monkey's Paw, this horror reimagining of John Musker and Ron Clements' Disney classic is yet another in a long line of similar examples, from Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey to Mickey's Mouse Trap.

Now, via Deadline, the biggest update yet for Aladdin: The Monkey's Paw has been released, with it announced that production will officially begin across the pond in the UK next month. Led by Empire Studios, Every Entertainment, and 8th Law Pictures, the sinister street rat tale will feature a...

In February 2025, it was revealed that Jennifer Zhang's sci-fi thriller, Trüebadour, was expected to begin filming in April. Ryan Bergara, who will star in the upcoming film, took to Instagram to give fans a positive status update.

Bergara confirmed via Instagram that production of the sci-fi thriller has officially begun. Bergara shared several behind-the-scenes photos, telling fans: "First days of Trüebadour in the can! Having a blast working with these folks and trying to take in and celebrate every small step of this journey! So here’s a lil bts while we continue the long road ahead!" Reflecting on his experience so far, he added, "And if I’m being embarrassingly honest… making a movie on the Universal lot, seeing The studio tour trams pass by, the same trams that I’ve sat in literally a hundred times, was surreal and genuinely a childhood dream fulfilled."

Will Poulter may have only appeared in three episodes of The Bear, but his presence left an impression so strong that his character became an instant hit with the fans. Now, as FX’s hit comedy drama series barrels toward its highly anticipated fourth season, Poulter has weighed in on the possibility of a return, and his response is as hopeful as it is strategic. The comedy drama series is centered around an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the chaotic kitchen at his deceased brother's Italian beef sandwich shop.

In a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, Poulter was quizzed about the possibility of reprising his role in the upcoming season. In response, the actor stopped short of confirming his return as he passionately expressed his deep admiration for the show. "I really hope so. I love that show so much," Poluter remarked,...

Netflix’s upcoming “Pride and Prejudice” series adaptation may well have found its Mr. Darcy.

Variety hears that Jack Lowden is currently in talks to the play the famously aloof romantic hero, one of the literary world’s most iconic characters whose tumultuous relationship with Elizabeth Bennet is at the core of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel. Netflix wouldn’t comment on the casting news.

First unveiled last year, Netflix’s “Pride and Prejudice” series is being penned by “Everything I Know About Love” author Dolly Alderton. No casting has been formally announced, although there were early and unconfirmed rumors in the British press that Daisy Edgar-Jones had been tapped to play Elizabeth Bennet.

Best known for his lead role in the Apple TV+ spy series “Slow Horses” — for which he’s earned Emmy, Golden Globes and BAFTA TV nominations — Lowden has also appeared in period drama “War and Peace” on the small screen,...

Cannes Frontières buzz title “Skin Side Up,” the directorial feature debut of “Drag Race Down Under” Season 4 winner Robert Ten Eyck, heads to the Creosote exploring a little visited sub-genre – drag queen horror – as it has pacted a key theatrical distribution deal for Australia and New Zealand with one of their genre champions.

“Skin Side Up” turns on Bertha Woodhouse, a drag queen who takes a hen’s gig in the middle of nowhere. The moment she arrives, things feel off – the party has only four guests, and their behaviour is unsettling. During a game of ‘affirmations,’ she receives an anonymous note: “I don’t know who these people are. Help.”

So begins her night of terror, the synopsis runs.

“This film is deeply personal. As a queer person and a drag performer, I’ve lived the unsettling reality of walking into unfamiliar spaces, not knowing if I’m truly safe.

Werner Herzog will receive the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival this August.

The La Biennale board of directors selected Herzog upon the recommendation from Vff artistic director Alberto Barbera.

The Master of Horror has officially been immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and frankly, it’s about damn time. John Carpenter, the man behind some of the most influential, inventive, and flat-out terrifying horror films ever made, now has a star to match the impact he’s had on the genre (and cinema as a whole). Whether it’s masked killers in suburbia, shape-shifting aliens in Antarctica, or reality-bending nightmares dripping with cosmic dread, Carpenter’s work has long lived where horror and cool collide.

But before all that – before Halloween changed the face of slashers and The Thing made us scared of our friends. Carpenter was a film school upstart with a Super 8 camera and a knack for doing things his own way. He studied at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, where he co-wrote and scored the Oscar-winning short The Resurrection of Broncho Billy. His first...

Just one week after yet another non-update on the status of Happy Death Day 3, franchise star Jessica Rothe announced at a double feature screening of the first two movies that the long-awaited third installment in the horror-comedy franchise is now “moving forward”!

“The third movie is moving forward,” Jessica Rothe said on stage at the American Cinematheque last night, with Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon by her side.

Landon himself added, “It is moving forward.”

It’s been six years since the release of Happy Death Day 2U, with fans spending these past six years wondering why the financially successful franchise hasn’t yet made its return. Landon recently revealed that Universal and Blumhouse at one point considered doing a third installment as a three-part miniseries for Peacock, which of course didn’t end up happening.

Well, if we had a nickel for every dropped jaw we witnessed during Disney’s CinemaCon 2025 panel, we’d probably have enough to snag tickets to every Disney flick for the next decade. And honestly, that’s no exaggeration. The studio didn’t just show up at CinemaCon this year; they leveled up.

From reboots to thrilling new sequels, the magic-makers at Walt Disney Studios came out swinging with a collection of future cinematic treasures that would make even the most seasoned movie buffs sit up straight. We got a taste of Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, Elio, and—let’s not even get started on Tron: Ares.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the most mind-boggling moments from Disney’s CinemaCon 2025 panel—complete with all the spectacle, sass, and surprises you’ve been waiting for.

Netflix subscribers are in the good part of the month. We saw a lot leave to begin the month, as we always do, but the second week is normally better—or at least less sad. Such is the case with the second week of April. Netflix subscribers only have to watch a relatively few things go away, but at least two saying goodbye are going to be brutally tough.

Not to disrespect anyone's favorite film, as the movies leaving in the first few days of the week will be bound to have someone say it's their favorite, but the final day of the week? Ew. Two completely different, but equally excellent, movies are gone.

Ok one of the films leaving on April 11 is atrocious. We did not want to (one again) disrespect film lovers who think Pixels is the best flick ever. It's not, but one can think that./ The...

Lindsay Lohan is being honored at CinemaCon 2025!

The 38-year-old actress was honored with the Vanguard Award during the Big Screen Achievement Awards during closing night of the movie convention on Thursday (April 3) held at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

“Thank you so much for this award. It means more than you know to me,” Lindsay said in her acceptance speech, via People. “I have grown up in this industry, and I’m so proud to still be doing what I love. There’s nothing like the magic of cinema.”

Over two decades after Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis hilariously swapped bodies for Freaky Friday, they're doing it again for Freakier Friday. The two actresses, who lead the sequel that hits theaters on August 8, recently appeared at CinemaCon, giving attendees an exclusive look at footage from Disney's upcoming feature. The hit 2003 comedy saw Lohan and Curtis as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess, who mysteriously swap bodies after bickering at a Chinese restaurant and enjoying magical fortune cookies. Freakier Friday is making things even freakier with a double-body swap: Not only are Tess and Anna involved, but so are Anna's daughter and step-daughter.

The clip (via Discussing Film), which is detailed below, reunites Lohan's Anna, Curtis' Tess, and Chad Michael Murray's Jake. Disney Distribution Chief Andrew Cripps presented the footage, saying:

"Ever since we announced this project, the response online has been outstanding. The love for our two stars is incredible.
